Understanding Other People
Predicting Feelings
Imagine yourself in this situation: A friend asks you to a party. You learn that all the girls in your group were invited — except for Paula. How do you think Paula will feel if she finds out?
A. angry
B. sad
C. hurt
D. excluded
E. confused
F. nervous
G. embarrassed
H. indifferent
You probably came up with your answer by putting yourself in Paula's shoes and imagining how you'd feel. Most people in this situation will feel some or all of emotions A through D: angry, sad, hurt, and excluded. It's not as likely that someone who is left out will feel confused, nervous, embarrassed, or indifferent.
Being able to predict how other people might feel is a part of emotional intelligence (EQ for short). It's a skill we can all develop with practice.
When we understand how other people are likely to feel, it can guide our interactions with them. For example, in the party example above, what if Paula asks: "Are you going to Regan's party?" Knowing that she wasn't invited probably influences how you respond. You might say (or avoid saying!) any of the following:
A. "Yes, I'm going — are you?"
B. "Yes, I'm going. I feel awkward telling you. Is it true she didn't invite you?"
C. "Yes, everyone's going!"
D. "Of course I'm going! It's going to be the best party of the whole year!"
E. "Yes. I'm sorry you weren't invited. I don't think Regan meant to hurt your feelings, I heard her parents only allowed her to ask a few people."
If you didn't know Paula wasn't invited, you might answer with A, C, or D. Because you know the full story, though, you're more likely to consider Paula's feelings and answer with B or E. Answers C and D are the kinds of things you say when you know for sure the other person has been invited.
Reading Body Language
Sometimes you get more information about a situation from what a person doesn't say: Part of emotional intelligence is reading the signals people send and taking them into account.
Let's say Paula approaches you, looking upset. She asks: "Are you going to Regan's party on Saturday?" Her emotional signals (body language, facial expression) clue you in that Paula knows she wasn't invited. In that situation, you might still answer with option A, but you'd probably be more likely to choose B or E.
But what if Paula approaches you looking cheerful and says: "Hey, I heard Regan is having a party this weekend. Are you going?" Based on her body language, you might conclude, "Oh, she doesn't know and she's expecting an invite."
If you have good EQ, you probably feel conflicted about telling Paula you're going to the party when you know she's the only one who's not invited. Even though it's up to Paula to manage her own emotions, you probably feel empathy for her. You know that how you respond can help her feel supported or make her feel worse, so you choose your words accordingly.
Making Sense of Reactions
The skill of understanding others helps us predict what people might feel in a certain situation, but it also allows us to make sense of how people react.
For example:
In homeroom at 8 a.m., your friend is smiling, friendly, and full of energy. Later that afternoon, he looks upset, almost like he might cry. Which explanation is your best guess for what might have happened between these two times?
A. He had a fight with his girlfriend at lunch, and now they're not talking.
B. He passed the 4th period algebra exam.
C. He just found out he didn't make the final cut for varsity basketball.
D. The chemistry teacher assigned a lot of homework.
E. He probably just had a bad day.
You likely ruled out option B instantly: Emotional intelligence tells you that your friend's reaction looks more like failing an exam than passing. If your friend had a bad day or a lot of homework (options D or E), he might seem stressed out, tired, or worn down — but he probably wouldn't be on the verge of tears. Ruling out those options lets you zero in on what's most likely to be upsetting your friend: options A or C.
People who are skilled at understanding others imagine another person's feelings ("I think he'll feel awful if I say that to him"). They are able to relate to how that person reacts to things ("Oh, I completely get why she got angry like that. No wonder!"). Understanding how others feel, act, and react helps us build better relationships.
How to Build This Skill
It's not always easy to predict or understand how someone else feels. Some people are better at it than others, but just about everyone can improve with practice. Understanding others is all about watching and listening.
It Starts With Watching
If you see someone trip and fall, you probably wince — ouch! — as if it happened to you. We have a natural tendency to sense what other people feel just by watching them. Scientists think there's a biological reason for this. They believe that brain cells called "mirror neurons" activate in the same way whether we do something ourselves or watch another person do it.
Try these ways to develop your observation skills:
- Look at people's expressions and body language. Next time you're at the mall, in the coffee shop, or on the subway or bus, try this: Look around and try to identify how people might be feeling based on their body language, facial expressions, and what they're doing. The girl with the textbooks on her knee might have an exam coming up. Does she seem confident — or stressed? What about the guy with his eyes closed? Is he feeling peaceful? Tired? Upset?
- Read books or watch movies that have realistic portrayals of human emotions. Pay attention to how different characters feel and act. Try to understand why the characters feel the way they do. Based on those emotions, predict what a character will do next. Or see if you can explain why a character did what he or she did.
It Improves With Listening
People who are good at understanding others are usually good listeners. Research shows that the better someone listens, the more connected that person feels with the person who is talking. This produces a feeling of bonding and closeness.
Most of us rate ourselves as good listeners — after all, listening seems like such a simple, basic thing to do. But often we're so busy thinking of what we want to say that we don't listen as much as we'd like. Here are some ways to build good listening skills:
- Practice listening well in everyday conversations. Really pay attention to what the other person is saying. Train yourself to think of listening as more important than talking.
- Tune in to feelings as well as story. When a friend tells you about something, try to imagine how he or she might have felt. Make statements that show you're trying to understand your friend's experience, like: "Oh, that must have felt amazing!" or, "That must be upsetting for you." You'll probably notice that you feel closer, more "in sync" with the person. You might find you can predict what your friend will say next.
- Take time to listen to someone in depth. Interview a friend or family member about a special time in his or her life. For example, ask your parents about their wedding day or get your grandparents to tell you about having their first child. Try to imagine what the experience was really like for them. Ask them to tell you more about how they felt and why.
Turning Understanding Into Compassion
After building your skills in understanding others, how do you use that knowledge? If you're like most people, you use it to help and support the people you care about. This is compassion, and compassion helps us form relationships. Try these three ways to be more compassionate:
- Ask others what they need. If a friend is going through a difficult time, ask what you can do to help. If your friend says, "I don't know," think about what you'd want in the same situation, then offer to do something similar.
- Show a sincere interest in others. Be curious about the people you know — not in a nosy or fake way, but in a way that shows you want to understand them a little better. For example, ask about the kinds of things they like to do, or about their feelings, ideas, and opinions.
- Act with kindness. When you hear gossip, ridicule, or unkind teasing, make it your first reaction to imagine how it would feel to be on the receiving end. That can help you tune in to other people's feelings and refuse to join in.
Even small acts of compassion can build positive social connections (try saying "hi" to someone who is sitting alone at lunch and see how it makes you feel). Scientists now know that strong social connections influence our health, happiness, and even how long we live.

Women's health is a big part of the healthcare industry. And acupuncture can be very beneficial in caring for the overall health of women. Acupuncture has been especially effective in helping with things like infertility, turning breech babies, inducing labor and clearing up infections. The cervix is just one small part of the uterus. Specifically it is the lower part of the uterus that opens to allow passage between the uterus and the vagina. The cervix widens during childbirth to allow the baby to pass, it also allows the passage of menstrual fluids from the uterus out of the body and it is vital for sperm to pass through the cervix to reach the uterus when trying to procreate.
The cervix is very vulnerable to several health conditions, such as chronic inflammation, polyps, dysplasia and even cancer. Cervical conditions rarely present symptoms in the early stages, which makes it extremely important for women to get regular pap smears. If an abnormality is detected, there are several ways to address it, depending on the severity. In the early stages of any of the aforementioned conditions, acupuncture can be a positive addition to Western medical treatments. Acupuncture is very good at decreasing inflammation and helping to dissolve polyps and tumors. Acupuncture can also balance hormones, which allows the body to correct any imbalances.
One of the most studied areas of acupuncture is in treating fertility issues. When invitro fertilization by itself does not get the job done, adding acupuncture may be the last piece of the puzzle. Acupuncture does much more than just balance the hormones. When a woman is trying to get pregnant and struggling with it due to fertility issues, the stress levels are extremely high. And high stress levels have been proven to disrupt the body's ability to conceive. One of the things that acupuncture is really successful at is decreasing stress levels. This can make it easier for the fertility treatments to work. Acupuncture has also been shown to increase blood flow to areas of the body, including the uterus. This can help to make a very hospitable place for a baby to grow.
Acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine are also widely used for treating infections and sexually transmitted diseases. In traditional Chinese medicine, most infections have some sort of heat or discharge associated with them. This medicine uses principles, herbs and acupressure points that have specific properties that can drain heat and expel toxins from the body. This can lead to an overall improvement in both uterine and cervical health.
Another area where acupuncture can help with cervical health is at the time of birth. About four percent of babies are presented in the breech position prior to birth. An accessory modality known as moxibustion, has proven time and time again, that it can actually turn the baby to the proper birthing position. Moxibustion involves the burning of an herb, dried mugwort, very near the skin on a specific acupressure point that is located on the outer edge of the pinky toe. By performing moxibustion several times a day, the baby and the body somehow know that there needs to be a repositioning and the baby tends to turn during the night.
When it comes to women's health, acupuncture is an amazing resource. Contact us to schedule your appointment today.

Sorry to harp on this, but it keeps coming up. My midwife made a big deal again about how I need to "watch that weight gain" and cut out all white flour and sugar from my diet. She acknowledges that some big babies are genetic (um, yeah, I know), but then she had to go and play the Dead Baby card. I hate it when people do that.
She told me about a client of hers who was borderline for gestational diabetes and "cheated" the test by having her OB (I take it she was under some form of coordinated care) coach her on how to avoid testing positive. Once she squeaked through, she, in the words of my midwife, "totally let herself go" and packed on the pounds that last trimester. During labor, the woman admitted she had been baking for herself every day and eating pies, cakes, cookies, and so forth. (The horror!)
She was a small woman, and her 12-pound baby was lodged with an extreme shoulder dystocia that took the midwife seven minutes of hard work to dislodge. The baby was floppy and unresponsive and had to be rushed in an ambulance to the ER, EMTs fighting to resuscitate him.
My midwife was mad at her client, that she had risked her baby's life for the sake of some sweets — not to mention the midwife's practice.
The implication was clear. Either I followed the no-white-flour-and-no-sugar edict, or I would be the one risking the Dead Baby.
Let two things be known:
- I don't take that woman's story lightly. I think that's a horrible situation for all of the participants to have been in. It's possible she had a hand in it for baking too much; I couldn't say because I'm getting only one perspective on the tale.
- I don't appreciate scare tactics.
As my midwife fully admitted, I had a nearly 12-pound baby, with no dystocia, a mere hour and a half of pushing, a vaginal birth with minimal tearing, a pregnancy free of GD, a baby with no blood sugar problems, and a healthy outcome for all involved.
So is the fear that I'll somehow go for a world's record here and try to beat my previous baby's weight? Because, trust me, I won't mind having a smaller one this time around and expect that as the statistical probability.
There are several things niggling at me from her edict. I'm not even sure how to sort them all out, in my mind or in this post.
- She's assuming that limiting maternal weight gain will ensure that the baby's weight gain is also limited. This is not so clearcut.
- She's assuming that limiting the baby's weight gain is preferable to allowing a baby to grow to whatever size it chooses. This seems dangerous to me.
- She admits that Sam and I are large people (tall and broad, and I have a wide pelvis), that I come from a family of occasionally very large babies, that I previously had a large baby with no ill effects on either of us. And yet she continues the scare stories.
- She emphasizes staying active over specific numbers of pounds, which is good. But she discounts how much pain I'm in from this pregnancy in my pelvis and hips, and how challenging it is to exercise daily when it hurts to walk. (I do keep trying to push through.)
- All of my tests so far — blood, urine, blood pressure, fundal measurements — have been fine. I'm scheduled for a GD test this week, so we'll see. (Anyone have arguments for or against having the test? I'm still a little conflicted.)
- I gained 33 pounds last pregnancy and lost it within two weeks postpartum. I don't say that to brag or as an indicator of what I consider normal (I was actually very, very surprised when that happened), and I worry it sounds that way. I say it more as a justification that my body knew exactly how much weight it needed to support the pregnancy, even though I had an unusually big baby. I've already gained that much this time around, and I haven't gone through the third trimester yet, so she might have a point there. Or not. I'm not sure. I definitely am not expecting to lose it all as quickly postpartum this time. (I mean, I have no expectations either way, not that I expect not to lose it; either way is fine)
- She's assuming that white flour and sugar are "bad" foods. I have issues with this that I don't even know how to go into here, in a short time. I find it problematic to demonize foods and assume that because they don't fit our current vision of what righteous food looks like that they have no value, or indeed a wholly negative effect.
- Even if I agree with her that white flour and sugar are to be avoided, she's assuming that I can. I know very few people who, long-term (5 years or more), have cut out easily available, tasty food groups from their diet. The few I do know have a medically unpleasant reaction to such foods and therefore a big incentive not to cheat. Now, my timeframe is a mere three months. But, I know myself. I know that when I'm told I am not allowed to have something, that is all I want. When allowed to eat as I wish, I tend to eat a variety of foods and not stuff myself. Even pregnant and more sharply hungry, I don't believe I've been eating more than usual — just more immediately when hungry, but then I feel full sooner. When told I must eat a certain Right way, I tend to rebel. Oh, I know, the Dead Baby card is supposed to keep me in line. But I'm finding it hard to buy in. I've already found my sneaky diet-mind telling me things like, "She didn't say anything about white corn and white rice. Score!"
- Several years ago, Sam and I did the South Beach Diet, which is my best personal reference for a practice of cutting out white carbs and sugar. We lost about 40 pounds on this diet and were hungry much of the time (and, incidentally, found it challenging to eat hospitably with others, such as at friends' houses or restaurants). I have some reservations about adopting any sort of eating plan that would normally prompt weight loss, considering I'm pregnant and losing weight can be detrimental to the baby's health.
- I'm seriously feeling I'd like to switch midwives. But without the psychological effort involved in switching midwives. I put off choosing one for so long precisely because I was having trouble screwing up the gumption to interview some; in the end, I interviewed exactly this one, and liked her a lot the first time we met. So I'd actually need to visit some other midwife/midwives multiple times, to make sure I liked them better, before firing this one. And the firing part would totally bum me out. Plus, I like her attitude toward low interventions in birth, and that's ultimately more important to me than sparkly-rosy-happy prenatal visits. Though those would be nice, too. I wish the midwives I had last time were still practicing, but they're on an extended hiatus.
I was prepared to ignore the recommendations and try to put it out of my mind. Sam, though, took it on himself (he's our cook) to consider ways we can reimagine meals we like in non-white-flour ways as well as create a list of meals that need no rejiggering to fit the criteria (like one of our favorites: currywurst with mashed cauliflower). He also suggested we cut down on the junk purchases. On the same day he brought home Girl Scout cookies. Bless him.
I know one thing for sure: I would have no luck cutting out white flour without him, so I'm glad he's willing to go through the deprivation with me. He keeps reminding me it's only three months, so maybe we'll make it.
I'm still not sure I'm philosophically on board, though.
What's your reaction when healthcare professionals recommend things you don't like or don't believe in?

As it happens, I quite like Robert Whitaker. We had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant in Harvard Square last June just before I gave a book talk for my book Unhinged. Over wonton soup and kung pao chicken, we chatted pleasantly about our work. He's an extremely intelligent and devoted journalist who really cares about the treatment of the mentally ill.
I had read parts of his book before we met, and told him that I disagreed with various aspects of it. He understood my points, saw their merits, but cordially held fast to his own convictions. I haven't spoken with Bob since then. I continue to respect him and I'm sure our paths will cross again.
Generally, I don't think it's great practice to review books when you know the author, and most mainstream publications prohibit it. But hey, this is a blog and I think we can be a bit less "ruley" in this context.
My overall take is that Whitaker has his basic facts right, and that he communicates them in a compelling style that I envy. But I disagree with his interpretation of the facts.
My argument is not all that different from the MGH/Andy Nierenberg rebuttal that was beautifully covered by Carey Goldberg in the CommonHealth Blog. You gotta check her post out--it includes video clips of Whitaker's brave grand rounds talk at MGH and captures the atmospherics of the ether dome, where I often went to grand rounds when I was a psych resident there.
Before I offer my rebuttal, here is Whitaker's overall argument:
1. Over the past couple of decades, many new and supposedly more effective psychiatric drugs have been introduced.
2. If these drugs were so effective, you'd think rates of psychiatric disability would have declined over this period, but in fact, rates of psychiatric diagnosis and disability have skyrocketed.
3. There are some poorly publicized studies suggesting that patients with serious mental illness actually do better when they do not take drugs.
4. Therefore, it's reasonable to conclude that psychiatric drugs are actually bad for many people, at least when taken for more than a short period of time.
This is obviously a simplified version of a long book that makes several other points as well, but this is pretty much the arc of his argument.
Here is my basic rebuttal: Correlation does not imply causation. In other words, yes, many more people take psych drugs, and yes, many more people are psychiatrically disabled. But the med use has not caused the disability. Instead, the skyrocketing disability rates are caused by several other factors, having almost nothing to do with any putative toxic effects of long-term medication use.
In my opinion, the apparent rise in psychiatric disability has three major causes.
Cause #1: There are more disorders to diagnose.
The number of official DSM diagnoses has grown from about 100 in 1952 to about 300 today--see the table below.
Version | Year Published | Number of Pages | Number of Diagnoses |
Each time a new version of the DSM is published, clinicians get trained in how to recognize the new categories of disorders. There's plenty of room for debate about whether all these "new" disorders are truly new or valid, but my point here is that, valid or not, the rise in diagnosis has been largely driven by changes in disease classification and subsequent training--not by toxic medications.
Cause #2: There are more treatments available, so clinicians have a greater incentive to look for diseases.
Unless there is a treatment for a disease, doctors have little incentive to take the extra time required to diagnose it. Not only has there been an explosion of new psychiatric drugs, but there are many more types of targeted psychotherapies as well. New drugs and therapies have motivated psychiatrists, psychologists, and social workers to ask more questions to discover newly treatable disorders.
Again, one can argue that drug companies have practiced "disease mongering" and have unethically persuaded doctors to recognize questionable disorders simply in order to make money. This has certainly happened at times, as I document in Unhinged. Sure, drug companies have revved up the diagnosis of disorders, but their drugs haven't actually caused the disorders.
In addition, it's certainly true that psych drugs have many side effects, and that side effects can cause certain disabilities. But this is true for all drugs in all fields of medicine. Antipsychotics are effective at reducing delusions and hallucinations, but they can also cause weight gain, diabetes, tremor, etc.... It's up to the doctor and the patient to decide together whether the side effects are so disabling as to overwhelm the benefits. But this does not mean that psych drugs cause worsening psychiatric disabilty, any more than blood pressure drugs cause worsening blood pressure.
Cause # 3: Changes in federal law have encouraged more people to seek disability status.
To understand the ins and outs of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you must read an outstanding recent series in the Boston Globe, called The Other Welfare: A Legacy of Unintended Side Effects.The short version of these articles is that SSI is a well-intentioned program to provide income and insurance for disabled citizens. But over the years, it has expanded to include various psychiatric disorders that are difficult to diagnose and that can be easily faked, such as ADHD and PTSD. Indigent people have realized that it's not too hard to get a psychiatric diagnosis and a medication, and once you have these you can apply for SSI benefits. The application is an arduous process, with no guarantee of success, but the numbers cited in the Globe tell the story (the Globe article focuses on children). In 1990, only 24,000 children qualified as psychiatrically disabled under SSI; by 2009, 640,000 children had qualified, a 26-fold increase.
Okay--I'm running out of steam and this post is already too long. Bottom line: Whitaker does a great job documenting an astonishing rise in psychiatric disability, but he erroneously blames the drugs, when the actual causes are more nuanced and multifactorial.
Next time I'll get into some of the studies he cites in support of the idea that psychiatric drugs can worsen mental illness. I believe he is on shaky ground here as well.

What exactly is a home inspection?
A standard home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building, much like a physical exam that your doctor may perform on you. However, it should be clearly understood that a home inspection is not to be confused with an appraisal, warranty evaluation, building code inspection, a guarantee of any kind, and/or an insurance policy on the condition of the property.
What does a standard home inspection include?
During a home inspection, the inspector will review the readily accessible exposed portions of the structure of the home for potential problems. Items inspected include the roof, attic, walls, ceilings, floors, windows, doors, basement and foundation, as well as the heating/air conditioning systems, interior plumbing and electrical systems.
Keep in mind that a home inspection is not intended to point out every small problem or invisible/latent defect in a home. Most minor or cosmetic flaws, for example, should be apparent to the buyer without the aid of a professional.
Why is a home inspection so important?
The purchase of a home is one the largest single investments you will ever make. With that in mind, it is extremely important that you learn as much as you can about the condition of the property and the possible need for any major repairs before making the purchase. A home inspection by a CHI® (Certified Home Inspector) helps minimize the possibility of unpleasant surprises, unexpected costs and post-purchase headaches.
It's important to remember that a reputable home inspection company will also point out the positive aspects of a home, as well as the maintenance that will be necessary to keep it in good shape. After the home inspection, you will have a much clearer understanding of the property you are about to purchase, giving you confidence and peace of mind.
What's more, a home inspection is not just for new home buyers. For existing homeowners, a home inspection may be considered in order to identify problems in the making, and to learn important preventive measures to avoid costly future repairs. If you are planning to sell your home, you also may wish to have a home inspection prior to placing your home on the market. This will give you a better understanding of conditions which may be discovered by the buyer's home inspection, and an opportunity to make repairs that will put the house in better selling condition.
How much does a home inspection cost?
The fee for a typical one-family-home inspection varies geographically, much like the cost of the property itself. Other cost factors include the size and features of the house, its age, and additional considerations such as optional testing.
It's always a good idea to compare prices from several different home inspection services in your area, paying close attention to exactly what is included with the price. When comparing inspection services, it's important to remember that the lowest-priced inspection companies are usually not the best choice. Keep in mind, most home inspection companies do the bare minimum when it comes to what they inspect. In other words, they only inspect what's required by state regulations. So be sure to ask the inspector questions, particularly regarding whether they inspect the foundation and, if so, how. Remember, the best inspectors perform a foundation level survey to determine the levelness of the house. Next, check the home inspection professional's qualifications, including experience, training, professional affiliations, and, most importantly, licensing status and professional certifications. Make sure to hire a Certified Home Inspector (with the CHI designation) when making your decision.
Can't I perform the home inspection myself?
Technically, yes, but you're taking a substantial gamble in doing so. Typically, even the "handiest" homeowner lacks the knowledge, training, and experience to perform a comprehensive home inspection in the manner of a professional who has inspected hundreds, perhaps thousands, of homes over the span of a career. A fully licensed Certified Home Inspector is familiar with the countless elements of home construction, proper component installation, and maintenance. They understand how the home's systems and components are intended to function together, as well as how and why they fail.
What's more, most buyers find it very difficult to remain completely objective and unemotional about the house they really want, and this may skew their judgment. For the most objective and accurate assessment of any home's condition, it is best to obtain an impartial, third-party opinion by a trained, licensed expert.
Can a home actually "fail" a home inspection?
Realistically speaking, no. A home inspection is merely a thorough examination of the home's current condition. It is neither an appraisal (which determines market value) nor a municipal inspection, which verifies local code compliance. Most home inspection professionals, therefore, will not "pass" or "fail" a house, but will accurately and objectively describe its physical condition and indicate potential problems or concerns. With A-Pro, that's a bit different because our home inspection service comes with a 120-day home buyer's assurance guarantee.
When is the proper time to order a home inspection?
A home inspector is typically contacted right after the contract or purchase agreement with the seller has been signed, and, depending on the home inspector's schedule, is often available within a day or two.
However, before you sign any agreements with the seller, be sure that there is a home inspection clause is inserted in the contract, making your purchase obligation contingent upon the findings of a professional home inspection. This clause should specify the terms to which both the buyer and seller are obligated.
Do I have to be present for the home inspection?
Technically, no, but A-Pro highly recommends that you attend for several reasons:
- You will be able to observe the inspector and ask questions directly.
- You will learn firsthand about the condition of the home and become familiar with all its features and components.
- You will get to know how various systems work and how to maintain them.
If for any reason you cannot attend the home inspection, you can still rest easy knowing that your licensed A-Pro home inspection professional will provide you with a comprehensive, written report describing the inspection and its findings. However, there's simply no substitute for actually being there while the home inspection takes place. Make time to be there!
What if my inspector finds problems during the home inspection?
First of all, it's important to remember that virtually no home is perfect. If your home inspector does identify some problems during the home inspection, it doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't buy the house, only that you will know in advance what to expect. What's more, you may be able to negotiate the purchase price of the home with the seller if significant problems are found, which will help you offset the required repair costs.
If the house checks out, did I really need a home inspection in the first place?
Most certainly, yes. Now that your new home has been thoroughly inspected, you can complete your home purchase with confidence in its overall condition and its vital systems and components. You will also have become knowledgeable about your new home's structure and systems, and can keep that information handy for future reference.
What's the difference between a home inspection and home warranty evaluation?
Some inspectors, whether hired by a real estate agent or the home buyer, don't really perform a complete home inspection at all, but rather what's known as a "warranty evaluation." The difference is significant.
In a nutshell, a warranty evaluation usually takes under an hour and only covers basic elements that are covered by the home warranty, such as the heating/air conditioning system and other built-in mechanical systems.
On the other hand, a real home inspection consists of a full, comprehensive evaluation of virtually every system and component of the home, including major appliances, roof, structure, and utility systems. It will also include a complete, written inspection report.
A licensed home inspector is also usually required by the State to carry a minimum of $300,000 in Errors & Omission (E&O) Insurance, which protects both client and real estate agent in case the inspector inadvertently misses or omits a major defective system or component from his home inspection report.
When selecting a home inspection service, make sure that you are, indeed, getting a full home inspection and not a simple warranty evaluation. The difference could mean potential savings of thousands of dollars in repair and maintenance bills over the long term.

Chinese security forces are patrolling the streets of southern Beijing today in great numbers, apparently to try and send a message to protesters. This follows a large demonstration yesterday at a shopping mall in the southern part of the capital, where protesters accused police of mishandling an investigation into the death of a 22-year-old migrant woman who worked there. It is just the latest example of mass unrest in China, and with each incident, police presence seems to be growing.
NPR's Louisa Lim joins us now from the Beijing, where she's been tracking developments. Louisa, good morning.
LOUISA LIM, BYLINE: Good morning, David.
GREENE: So how big was this protest yesterday, and why such a large police response to it?
LIM: Well, it's difficult to know exactly how big it was. But from the photographs, we can see hundreds, maybe a thousand or so people gathered in front of this market, where this migrant worker called Yuan Liya worked. And it dates back to what happened on Friday, when she fell to her death from the building.
Police say that they've done an investigation, and she committed suicide. But friends and relatives don't believe it. They say she's not the kind of person who would. And there are all these rumors going around the market saying that she was gang raped, and she leapt to escape her attackers.
I mean, I think the real crux of the issue is that this huge mistrust in the police, people believe they're covering something up, and there were really no outlets to express discontent, apart from going out to the protest. So we're seeing these really extraordinary measures to intimidate potential protesters.
And today, I spent the morning in that market, and there were police every few yards, and we passed 20 buses, each of them carrying 50 policemen, just sitting there in case trouble might break out. So that sends a very intimidating message to protesters.
GREENE: We've talked about protest and crackdowns before. Are you seeing something different here with his police reaction?
LIM: Well, I mean, I think we're just seeing the numbers of protests are growing, and the police response is also growing. The mobilization of the security machine is more and more alert. And I really saw that this weekend. I was in the southwestern city of Chengdu. And on Saturday, there had been plans for a very big protest against a petrochemical plant. And, again, the methods that were used to stop this from happening were really extreme.
You know, there were leaflets put under the doors of tons and tons of people, telling them not to protest. There was a police exercise with policemen everywhere. And then most extreme of all, the city decided to actually move the weekend. They suddenly announced that kids had to go to school on Saturday, university...
GREENE: Oh, wow.
LIM: Yeah. University students had to go to class, and that instead, the day off would be Monday. So it was - you know, they rescheduled the weekend. It's an extremely Orwellian step to take, but it did work. No one dared protest.
GREENE: Social media growing in China has been a factor in some protests we've talked about in the past. Is the growing use of social media one reason we're seeing these larger incidents?
LIM: Well, it's certainly the way that the word gets out. You know, people hear what's happening, and often, they go to see with their own eyes, and then the crowds grow. But it also means that the government isn't able to keep these incidents and their response to these incidents quiet.
So yesterday, it was all over social media. And then, of course, the censorship machine kicks in. So, today, there were no mentions anywhere of this market where this happened or this woman's name. It's all banned on social media. So all of these rumors start passing, and that, you know, creates more skepticism and distrust.
So, of course, the long-term consequence is that the more that the government tries to use these measures they call stability maintenance, the more discontent they're causing, which then needs to be suppressed. So, you know, cynics would say the more stability is maintained, the less stable China actually becomes.
GREENE: Well, and I'm sure you'll be following these events for us, and we'll be checking in with you again.
NPR's Louisa Lim, joining us from Beijing. Thanks, Lisa.
LIM: Thanks, David.

Scout/Tutorial/4.0/Minicrm/Minicrm Step-by-Step
The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/. Mini CRM Tutorial
With this tutorial, you'll create a little example application with The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/., where you can enter and edit companies.
This tutorial assumes that you have installed Scout SDK as described in The Scout documentation has been moved to https://eclipsescout.github.io/..
Create New Scout Project
Creating new scout projects is described here. That page also shows how to launch the server and the client.
Get example Database
Follow the instructions on this page to get our small Apache Derby example database.
Set up SQL Service
Now we need to tell the application how to contact the database. How this works is described here.
Write the first Page
A standard Eclipse Scout application consists of pages in a tree structure. A page typically shows data in some sort of table. If you write an application, you need to start with a page. Learn more
You should have a tiny Eclipse Scout application running at the end of this step!
You will end up with the following tree structure for your application:
Standard Outline │ └─Company Table Page
Very simple indeed!
Add a search form
We created a page with a table listing all the companies in the database. Add a search form that allows users to limit the number of rows returned. Learn more
Add a form to edit the data
In order to edit the data in our page, we need to create a context menu to call a form, create the form and the process service it needs to actually select, insert, update (and possibly delete) the data. Learn more
Write the second page
We wrote the company table page, now let's write a top-level person table page. Once we have that, we want to reuse the table page by also using it as a child page for a company. Learn more
You will end up with the following tree structure for your application:
Standard Outline │ ├─Company Table Page │ │ │ └─Person Table Page │ └─Person Table Page
Reorganize the tree
We want to add an additional node under the companies table page. This will require us to add a page with nodes and reorganize the tree a bit.
When we're done, the result should look as follows:
Standard Outline │ ├─Company Table Page │ │ │ └─Company Details Node Page ← new │ │ │ └─Person Table Page │ └─Person Table Page
Code Types
Each Code Types provides a list of values in order to fill up elements like Smart Fields or List Boxes.
In a next step we want to divide the companies into two groups: suppliers and customers. When the company is type of customer, a Smart Field with ratings between A and D should appear. Let's create two Code Types and add some behaviour to the CompanyForm and ProcessServices. Learn more
Lookup Calls and Lookup Services
In the previous chapter we have seen how to fill smartfields with an enumerated list of codes that were based on a code type. However, sometimes you need a smartfield (or listbox) with dynamically calculated entries that are based on the data in your database (e.g. a smartfield that allows selecting a person or company). This chapter shows how to accomplish this by implementing a so called Lookup Call and a corresponding Lookup Service. Learn more

The prospects for an immigration overhaul effort that could reshape the contours of American society appeared grim Wednesday after a closed door meeting of House Republicans.
A majority of the fractious House Republican Conference lined up in opposition to (barely) bipartisan legislation already approved by the Democratic-controlled Senate, despite the urging of leaders to do something on the issue.
NPR's Tamara Keith tells us that after the meeting, Colorado Rep. Doug Lamborn said "there's almost unanimous agreement among the Republicans that the Senate bill is fatally flawed."
The Senate bill includes a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants, a provision that's anathema to the majority of House Republicans, most of whom reside in electorally safe, predominantly white districts.
California Rep. Buck McKeon, chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said: "There was pretty strong consensus that the border has to be secured before anything else." Including a path to citizenship.
According to Louisiana Rep. John Fleming, House Speaker John Boehner reassured the conference — as he has done in public and private many times before — that he will not allow an immigration bill to pass without a majority of the majority, a practice referred to as the Hastert Rule.
Fleming said he trusts Boehner when he says any immigration bill will pass with a majority of the majority. But he still worries that the Senate could take that bill up, modify it and then jam the House — putting pressure on them to pass something with a majority of Democrats and only a few Republicans.
"We control the House, we Republicans, and our constituents hold us accountable ... so that is our concern. We want to be sure that something like that doesn't happen," Fleming said. "That whatever passes out of the House has a majority of Republicans that support it."
After the afternoon meeting, House leadership, including Boehner, issued this statement:
"Today House Republicans affirmed that rather than take up the flawed legislation rushed through the Senate, House committees will continue their work on a step-by-step, common-sense approach to fixing what has long been a broken system. The American people want our border secured, our laws enforced, and the problems in our immigration system fixed to strengthen our economy. But they don't trust a Democratic-controlled Washington, and they're alarmed by the president's ongoing insistence on enacting a single, massive, Obamacare-like bill rather than pursuing a step-by-step, common-sense approach to actually fix the problem. The president has also demonstrated he is willing to unilaterally delay or ignore significant portions of laws he himself has signed, raising concerns among Americans that this administration cannot be trusted to deliver on its promises to secure the border and enforce laws as part of a single, massive bill like the one passed by the Senate."
Democratic groups have funded advertising campaigns that target Republican House members perceived as persuadable on the immigration issue and those in districts where Latinos represent a growing constituency.
But the pressure has had negligible results.
One of those targeted, Rep. Mike Coffman of Colorado, has said he would consider a path to citizenship for young people brought to the country illegally by their parents. But he told us late Tuesday that he was "unsure about what to do with the adults."
Rep. Joe Heck of Nevada, a Republican in a politically competitive district with a Latino population of 16 percent, also supports the so-called Dream Act piece of immigration overhaul.
Here's what his spokesman Greg Lemon told us this week:
"Congressman Heck believes that we should find a way to give young people who were brought here illegally a chance to make a life for themselves in the only country they have ever known. His concern is making sure those young people are prepared to succeed and provide for their future families."
To Heck, that translates to a requirement of four years in the military, an associate or undergraduate degree, or a vocational certificate.
But on a pathway to citizenship? "His position has always been that he is open to considering proposals that address earned citizenship," Lemon said. "The process must be tough but fair, and not penalize those already waiting in line." And, he said, they must be linked to border security measures that extend beyond the Senate bill's 10-year sunset.
New York Rep. Michael Grimm, whose Staten Island-based district's Latino population now exceeds 15 percent, opposes the Senate bill "because it doesn't contain strong enough enforceable triggers," his spokeswoman, Carol Danko, told us. "Since the House seems likely to bring up its own bill, he will have to see it first before he can make a decision on how he will vote.
That leaves Republicans like freshman Rep. David Valadao, whose California district is 70 percent Latino, a rare GOP advocate of comprehensive immigration reform.
"Our office as a whole is going to remain hopeful on this," said Anna Vetter, Valadao's spokeswoman. "A lot of our members who don't support it either don't understand the issue fully, or aren't directly affected by it."

The woman on the right looks like she might have been a movie star during the "Golden Age of Hollywood" from about 1920-1950. The face on the left represents a more modern ideal.
- Monday, March 31, 2008 4:27:00 am
- BlaiseVillaume said...
I agree with the above post. The left has a more raw sexual attraction while the one on the right has a more subdued beauty.
- Monday, March 31, 2008 4:59:00 am
- pconroy said...
I prefer the one on the right - but then I like beautiful eyes, and the one on the left doesn't have them, and further to my mind looks, dull and cheap.
- Monday, March 31, 2008 5:36:00 am
I'm going on a limb here to say that the woman on the left represents the modern ideal of beauty, while the woman on the right represents the past ideal of beauty (around 1920s-1930s perhaps).
- Monday, March 31, 2008 5:57:00 am
- Unknown said...
I agree with ogden salti.
The left woman is more beautiful in modern terms while the right one for older tastes.
I asked my father who is 68 years old who he prefers most and he told me the right one. The same did his brother who is 64 years old!!!
Anyway the post should had a third alternative for people who consider the two women as equally beautiful. - Monday, March 31, 2008 6:01:00 am
- Unknown said...
I am too late to vote but would have voted for the one on the left. I'm female.
I agree with the other posts; the one on the right looks 1930s-ish and the one on the left more modern, but with roughly the same facial proportions.
I am stumped as to the hypothesis that Dienekes is testing via sex-specific voting, though... - Monday, March 31, 2008 6:44:00 pm
- pconroy said...
I think it obvious what Dienekes is measuring??
The face on the left is more masculine than the one on the right by quite a bit - so he is attempting to measure how masculine a female face different genders prefer?! - Monday, March 31, 2008 6:51:00 pm
- Dienekes Pontikos said...
>> I am stumped as to the hypothesis that Dienekes is testing via sex-specific voting, though...
No hypothesis, just thought it might be interesting if men and women voted differently, which they did, even though the left one won in both sexes. - Monday, March 31, 2008 8:09:00 pm
- Bolinaga said...
The face on the left would interest me for a night, the one on the right for an eternity...

Damn I missed the vote. I'm a young guy but I would have picked the right for the exact reason that bo7156 stated. The one on the left has more Asian looking eyes. The one on the right looks more European, that is older 'true' European.
- Monday, March 31, 2008 11:46:00 pm
Ok as you said Asian look.
In Asia ( non Mongoloid part) the typical picture of woman's face is the one on right for ages.
Recently with TV and models the face on the left is increasing in its popularity.
I remember reading about Monica Lewinsky being very popular in Iraq.
Somehow the look on the left is seen as aggressive and the look on the right as soothing presence and friendly.
How do we classify Roman, Greek and Indian sculptures
left or right?. - Tuesday, April 01, 2008 12:19:00 am
- Bolinaga said...
The question we should ask the good lieutenant is whence came these photographs.
They appear to be composites but of whom from where?
That will reveal much about why we are attracted to one more than the other.
The one on the left is very much like my first wife who is of Magyar, Irish Jewish and German descent.
The woman on the right is much like an Armenian woman whom I love.
She could also be any one of my female relatives from Gipuzkoa.
The face is hauntingly familiar.

Karin what do you mean when you say you are female?
Are you man or woman?
You had to answer to the question as it went!
The poll was for either men or women.
There was no poll for....female or male!!!
Truly what do you mean by saying female? - Tuesday, April 01, 2008 4:07:00 am

A good dictionary always helps

Last time i checked i asked Karin and not Dienekes about what does female mean in the particular comment.
I have my reasons for doing so. - Tuesday, April 01, 2008 7:04:00 am
- carter said...
I'm female and voted for the face on the right, there's a greater 'mystery'. I think it's a pic of 1930's movie star Norma Shearer.
The one on the left looks cheap & common to my taste. - Tuesday, April 01, 2008 8:50:00 am
- Massimo Zoff said...
The old school women have more natural looking hair styles, and bigger, more rounded eyes as well as nicer more defined cheek bones. The modern women just look greasy to me. BTW my vote is for old school lady, Loretta Young. She looks like a fun lovin' gal. Probably likes the country too.

I am a male and I thought the face on the right was much more attractive. The right composition looks much more sensual and the eyes are bigger and more feminine. The left's lips and face just look more cold overall
- Wednesday, April 02, 2008 1:48:00 am
- Massimo Zoff said...
My wife made an interesting point. Most of the women on the left have their mouth open, and a more vacant look about them, which has been proven more attractive to a lot of men.
- Wednesday, April 02, 2008 4:23:00 am
- Crimson Guard said...
The one on the left had a more overall better face shape, though the one on the right has better lips and eyes. The left one has weird eyes, caused maybe by the composite. Their noses I dont care for.

- War Lord said...
Personally I prefer neither of these two. Marrying the obviously empty, selfish woman on the left would be a quick way to divorce; the woman on the right is too submisive and somehow "internally boring". If I were to choose, I would pick the right one, but not too willingly.
- Thursday, April 03, 2008 3:24:00 pm
- BlaiseVillaume said...
Those are some hefty assumptions to pull from a simple picture war lord. Although I obviously get personal impressions from the pictures as well, I think it might be too hasty to draw a scarlet letter on the woman on the left.

- Lucipher said...
First it must be said this is a piss poor composite; it is clear that the images are not equally weighted. Jessica Biel's image dominates the composite on the left and Olivia DeHavilland's image dominates the composite on the right.
Of course the modern image on the left is more attractive; her expression is sexually charged and seductive. The image on the right (from the sexually repressed 30s) looks more like a mom or an aunt (if not a nun).
The woman on the left seems to be saying "fuck me hard, big boy" whereas the woman on the left is probably carrying a tray of lemonade and cookies. It's an inane comparison. - Sunday, April 06, 2008 6:08:00 am
- Lucipher said...
... uh, that is the woman on the RIGHT is probably carrying the tray of lemonade and cookies.
Oh hell... I'd do 'em both - at the same time if I could - but I'd be tempted to use a rubber with the one on the left. - Sunday, April 06, 2008 6:14:00 am
- Dienekes Pontikos said...
>> First it must be said this is a piss poor composite; it is clear that the images are not equally weighted. Jessica Biel's image dominates the composite on the left and Olivia DeHavilland's image dominates the composite on the right.
All source images are equally weighted. Also note that the de Havilland sisters (Olivia and Joan Fontaine) make up 2/7 of the 40's sample, so it makes sense that it woul resemble them somewhat. - Sunday, April 06, 2008 6:47:00 am
- miz RAND BLOWTON said...
I think they both look foreign,so I find it hard to think they are very pretty.Pretty is something I feel safe with and these two chicks look foreign and foreign is dangerous and remote to me. They look like they come from a Spanish and Slavik republik and that's rather remote.But the left seems more sultry and modern such as men's fantasy's like and they right seems more 1920's wise,sly type,yet namby-pamby
- Monday, April 07, 2008 10:34:00 pm
- dsc said...
I think that something that may have skewed at least bit is a weird resulting expression of the composite of the 1940s, looking somewhat sad and afraid, while the other resulted in a seductive face.
But even so, overall I find the newer generation ones more attractive, I don't think it would have been much difference without this accident. Maybe with a few substitutions, like replacing almost anyone by Hedi Lamarr in the 1940's team could have made the things somewhat more balanced.
I have a question regarding the methodology in creating these composites. How does it work? You put all the faces at once and the program will create a really uniform composite, somewhat analogue to what I think that would result from a sort of "tournament" of composites (composite of Mary and Lucy is composed against the composite of Joan and Jannet), or does it goes linarly (first creates a composite of Mary and Lucy, which is then composed against Joan, which is then composed Against Janet)?
I'm asking because the first one looks like predominantly a composite of Katherine Heigl and Alessandra Ambrosio, as if they're were the last ones on the line of a linear sequence. But may be just an impression. - Wednesday, November 26, 2008 4:59:00 am
- Dienekes said...
In this particular instance you average over all of them at once, although the tournament approach is also possible.

I chose that on the right , looks much more delicate and innocent , moreover she has bigger eyes , in one word she's more feminine than that on the left , definitely.
- Wednesday, May 20, 2009 5:10:00 pm
- D.U. said...
For me, it's the one on the left. But it's all in the facial shape. The one on the left has a super model's facial shape. I
switched the facial shapes. Now the 40s face with the modern facial shape looks better than the modern face with the 40s facial shape. - Thursday, May 28, 2009 6:46:00 am
- Unknown said...
Most of the women from the earlier generation seem to have more tenderness and emotion in their eyes; the ones from today seem more cold, steely and conniving.

I don't have your skill in making composites, but using an online morphing site I made a composite of 8 of the women considered the most beautiful in the 1930s and 1940s, Ava Gardner, Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Marlene Dietrich, Hedy LaMarr, Linda Darnell, Rita Hayworth, and Joan Crawford. I think this is a much more comparable sample than the best actress winners. However there is still a big difference between 'hottest' and 'most beautiful.' Often not the same.
Here are the results

Wow, I'm surprised at some of the reactions to these images. I'm female and Mexican and looking at the image on the left immediately reminded me of someone Hispanic. I think it's because of the eyes being narrower than the image on the right, maybe a trait coming from our Amerindian heritage. But narrowed eyes are also associated with sexual arousal, so the face she is making with the parted lips looks like the kind of expression half-naked women in men's magazines have. The comments made, "dull and cheap", "would interest me for a night", "aggressive", "greasy" etc weren't what would come to my mind at all. (And "greasy" is a slur for Hispanics; I don't know if that was deliberately meant as such or not.) I have to wonder, if the narrowed eye shape is associated with sexual attraction, then does this contribute on a subconscious level to stereotypes of Latin women as being promiscuous and oversexed.

The woman on the left has a much better developed facial bone structure and I find her much sexier, however the one on the right does have certain edges.
The women on the left is clearly more masculine, which says a lot about the transition to modern preferences, that is people are becoming much more promiscuous. - Monday, October 10, 2011 12:37:00 am
