It's NOT!\n\nEvolution is a scientific theory that explains the origin of the diversity of species (note that it does not, and is not intended to explain the origin of life). The basic idea of evolution is that mutations result in genetic diversity in a population, and consequently different traits, and different selective pressures favor certain traits over others. In a diverse population, some individuals are better suited to the environment than others, and the individuals that are better suited are more likely to survive to reproduce and thus pass their genes on to the next generation. Consequently, the next generation will have more of the "good" genes and fewer of the "bad" genes than the generation before it. Because the environment is constantly changing, the definition of "good" and "bad" genes is also constantly changing. Something that used to be an advantage can become a disadvantage, and vice versa. More often, however, neutral traits will become either good or bad. Changes in environment can include not only changes in weather or resources, but also competition from other species.\n\nAs the environmental pressures change, the population of organisms changes with it. Over time, the little changes start to add up, and eventually the population will be so different from the ancestral state that it will be considered a different species. The diversity of species results from splitting of populations. If a population is separated by some geographical or reproductive barrier, the two subpopulations will likely evolve in different ways, to become two separate species. Eventually the two species may be reunited, but they will no longer be able to interbreed. Instead, they will compete with each other, and likely diverge even more.\n\nThe theory of evolution is supported by considerable scientific evidence, and is accepted by the vast majority of the scientific community. It is the ONLY scientific theory currently in existence that explains the diversity of species. Some people claim that "intelligent design" is an alternative theory for the origin of species. However, intelligent design is not a theory in the scientific sense. It is not supported by scientific evidence and can never be tested experimentally (not because we don't have the tools yet, but because it is theoretically impossible). Intelligent design provides an alternative to science, not an alternative scientific theory.\n\nScience is not about finding a single piece of evidence to conclusively prove a theory. It's about constructing theories to fit the existing evidence and gathering new evidence that supports or refutes existing theories. Evolution is supported by a preponderance of evidence. While no one point conclusively proves it, when all the evidence is considered in the context of existing scientific knowledge evolution is a well substantiated theory. Intelligent design is not.  What follows are brief explanations of some of the evidence that supports the theory of evolution.\n\n1. Vestigial structures\n\nOne example of a vestigial structure in humans is the appendix. It has no function. Removing it is harmful only in so far as any surgery is associated with certain risks (so I wouldn't have it removed just for fun, but it's because of the surgery not the absence of the appendix). An appendix is found in several mammals. In humans it is small and has no known function. In rabbits and many other herbivores it is large and is used in the digestion of cellulose.\n\nAnother example of a vestigial structure is the hipbones of snakes. Snakes evolved from quadrupeds, and some species still retain not on pelvises, but tiny protrusions of bone in a location that corresponds to the location of the legs in other quadrupeds.\n\n2. Microevolution can be observed in both a controlled laboratory setting and in nature.\n\nCreationists will tell you that microevolution does not prove macroevolutio

How can I redirect my frustration into something positive?

Is there anything you can do to change the job frustration? Talking to a district office or a boss higher up? Changing job duties? Is there anything funny about how sorry the place is? Does the place do anything good that can make you feel better that your frustration is going for something useful? \nI read a book called "100 Things That People Do To Be Happy". It suggests that making yourself happy takes a lot of practice, like playing basketball. Maybe you can think of that while you are working and look for things that put a smile on your face when you don't feel like smiling. Do you have a library nearby? Try and find a book on drawing caricatures and make up funny pictures of the things or people you work with.\nMake sure you get as much sleep as you can (try earplugs and nightshades (blinders) if you are sleeping during the day, and as early at night as you can (probably hard if you work late). Sometimes your emotional state is worse if you aren't getting enough vitamins also.\nI'm sure others will have more suggestions for meditating, etc. I prefer to attack my frustrations whenever I can.

We know there are Black Holes, there are also White Holes, but they are very rare. What do they do?

Black holes are a theory, we suspect that some anomalies in space are black holes. White holes are desired by our nature to balance the negative energy of black holes. However the Begy concept of gravity as an external force acting on our universe more than compensates for the negative E of black holes and even predicts a source of energy that is constantly flowing into the universe which can only be detected as the force of gravity. According to the Begy theory, black holes would be anchors in time and space where the gravitational force is neutralized.

Who was Bob Marley's Father and what was his profession?

Bob Marley's father was Norval Marley, born in Jamaica in 1895 to a family that came to Jamaica from England. Norval Marley was originally a soldier, but later became a plantation overseer. When the elder Marley married Cedella Booker, an 18-year old Black woman, Marley's prosperous family discouraged the relationship. As a result, Marley provided money for his young son and wife, but rarely visited with the boy.\n\nA thorough bio of the Marley mystique is available at the site below:

i'm 23 and a virgin kind of scared of what the first time will be like so i avoid guys can you help?

Sex is something that should not be rushed into the first time. Avoiding guys all together isn't the answer though. Evidently you have had a strong will not to do it so far in your life, so don't distance yourself from men. Just let them know pretty soon after meeting them where you stand. If it is someone worth losing your virginity to, then they will hang around and wait, otherwise they ain't worth the ground you walk on!

how to get rid of inlaws(and other house guests that have overstayed thier welcom)?

The other answers are all good, but if you are asking how to do it legally, you need to check your state's laws and cases, and if you can't, you really need to check with a lawyer who does evictions.\n\nAnother way is to change the locks when they are out.\n\nNot all state allow self-help evictions, so if the in-laws are likely to go to a lawyer if you try to throw them out, you really do need to chack with a lawyer in your area.


what do you do when your ex becomes psycho and wont leave you alone?

It depends upon age and degree of stalking.  If he is over 18 and his stalking gets to a certain point you can get a restraining order.  If he is under 18 talk to his parents and let them know what is going on.  Ultimately though in most cases if you just ignore him and refuse to acknowledge that he even exists, he will eventually give up.


what is a typical sentence for 5th offense dui in WI?

That's a real shame.  You poor, poor, poor dumb ass alcoholic.  Ever consider calling a cab?  Worse yet is the fact that the state you live in allowed you to get 5 DUIs.  Where I'm from you will most times serve after your second.  The simple fact of the matter is that being as old as you are... it's already too late for you.  You will never change ever.  You have chosen to spend your life in a bottle chasing wiener half your age and half the time probably getting paid for it.  You say you have a good lawyer, so why post your question here?  In your reality is there going to be a magic answer on the Internet that is going to keep you out of jail?  I'm half your age and even I know that. Jeez.... I really hope you haven't procreated because if you have I'll bet they're proud of you now.  I'll bet you're proud of yourself.  Not once did you even mention being ashamed of yourself or consider what could have happened had you wrecked.  The best thing you can do for yourself is GO TO JAIL.  At least there you can't drink.  Maybe get yourself a little lesbian lover and spend your time planting flowers instead of graves.

Is it illegal for a professor to have an affair with a former student?

While it's illegal (not to mention unethical) for a professor to have an affair with a student, I don't think it applies to former students, as long as they are both of consenting age.  Now, if by affair you mean one of them is married to someone else, then it's unethical, but not illegal.

how did the nazis knew you were a jew during nazi germany?

Germans were for ages very pedantic. They kept their records meticulously for generations. To be determined a Jew, it was enough for you to have one Jewish grandparent.\nSometimes there were exceptions to the rule, but mostly there weren't. It wasn't a problem at all, to look three generations back at the archives and find out what happens to you. \nIn very special cases, Hitler himself has overridden the case, but it happened only very few times. Generally the Nazi machine never deviated from the standard in that respect.

Explain the advantages  to the consumer and the U.S. economy because of a negative foreign trade balance?

Short term negative trade is great for the consumer. That means of course more stuff is coming INTO our country than is going out.  For some reason we allow all of this cheap stuff to come in from China and Belize and people like me go to Walmart and get $20 shoes instead of $60 shoes that were made in Massachusetts where the shoemakers used to get a decent wage and benefits before the American shoe manufacturers were driven out of business and shoe manufacturing was outsourced to China and India.  The shoe industry owners and management and share holders don't care who makes the shoes as long as it's done cheaply enough to keep them making a nice profit and they lean on the government to keep the imports coming - they HAVE to - all of their factories are overseas now.  If there are any domestic manufacturers left they are forced to keep their prices as low as possible because of all of the competition from cheap imports - supply and demand.  I as the consumer win in the short term because I get a pair of pretty darn good shoes at a rock bottom price.  I lose as an American because American jobs are disappearing, our tax base is eroding as we lose workers income taxes and industrial taxes at the local, state and federal level.  Jobless people swell the welfare rolls, Social Security input decreases.  The only possible advantage I can see is that it makes us more interdependent on one another internationally.  I mean how likely is China to nuke us or cut diplomatic ties while we supply a insatiable appetite for their goods. It would be like a shopkeeper shooting his biggest customer.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP What is the cheapist way to send mail through USPS?

I will tell you a secret, but you must promise to tell NO ONE!  Well, except for the people on here that read this.\n\nWhen you address an envelope, switch the "To and From" around.  You know, use the persons address you're sending the letter to as the return address, and your address as the "TO" address.  Then simply drop it into a collection box (NOT your mailbox) without postage.  The Post Office will "Return To Sender" for lack of proper postage.


Before the days of "Ms," how was a divorced woman addressed?

I don't know about elsewhere, but in the South, the first wife was always proudly referred to in the '50s as "Mrs. John Doe" (note the omission of her own first name). Look at old Southern Junior League cook books.\n This title would be emphasized if he were to run off with a person of non-recognized social standing. There are many older ladies I know who still refer to themselves today as "Mrs. John Doe" although their husbands have been dead 20-30 years!\nThe new wife would simply not be recognized at all by the women of society, who would pointedly avoid even looking at her. She would enjoy no title except perhaps "Miz Ruby" and would be called this even by the local lower society folks.


Are fermales born with eggs in their ovaries?

Yes. You are born with all the eggs you can possibly need during your fertile years. They are  held in a sort of 'suspended animation' in the ovaries, until one is released each month. Then, the one either meets up with a lucky sperm and implants itself or is released during your cycle each month.\n\nI had to explain this to a college roomie who thought women "made a new egg each month"..

My daughter will not go near my husband whats wrong with her?

Look at your question closely: you want to know what's wrong with her. But you don't give nearly enough information for anyone to make a truly helpful suggestion. Maybe nothing is "wrong" with her. Maybe something is very right with her in that she has strong, secure boundaries and is guarding herself. Observe her situation. TALK to her in a way so as to not make her defensive with you. If this is a big change in her personality and habits with your husband, you need to get to the bottom of this. Be her mother, protect her, who else does she have if not you? If there is no basis but teenage hissy fit for her change in attitude, you are still the right one to help her work through it, and if, God forbid, there is a more sinister reason for her behavior, you are the ONLY one she can rely on. Be there for her now.

Can Quebec survive on its own if the province separates from the rest of Canada?

While I'm not entirely sure it's in either side's best interest for Quebec to secede from Canada, it's a viable state, certainly.  Its economic situation would end up being roughly that of Belgium's.  It wouldn't be an economic powerhouse, mind you, but it wouldn't end up like some Third World country, either.\n\nAs for its military?  That's a question to be left up to the Canadian government, since, even if Quebec secedes, the equipment & personnel are Canadian.  Probably what they would do is follow the path of Costa Rica & Panama -establish a national police force with some paramilitary capabilities.  It doesn't really need a military -it can sign a mutual-defense treaty with the U.S. & Canada.

Lyric poetry is so called because in ancient Greece poems of this type were originally set to music and recited or sung to the accompaniment of a hand-held harp called a "lyre." The earliest lyrics were of two kinds: the religious lyric, a hymn or songlike prayer addressed to a god or goddess (cf. the Psalms of the Old Testament); and the so-called "drinking song" or "song of the table," a brash, robust, and merry sort of effort, often boastful, misogynistic, or pornographic, of the kind commonly performed by men at hearty gatherings or drinking parties. The religious lyric was typically marked by its earnestness, emotional intensity, and passion. The drinking song was more notable for its air of jollity and raucous amusement.\n\n    Out of these two separate (yet distantly related and parallel) traditions the modern love lyric was born. It was Sappho who first fused the two forms. By taking the emotional depth, confessional tone, and ornate style of the religious lyric and combining it with the ribaldry, mockery, and  high-spiritedness of the traditional drinking song, she effectively created a new hybrid: a poem at once intimate and satirical, serious yet light. This adroit blend of passion and humor (packaged in a sparkling and colorful style) has been a hallmark of the sophisticated love lyric ever since. As a result, poets as different as Swinburne, Whitman, Adrienne Rich, and Ezra Pound can all in one respect or another be considered sons and daughters of Sappho. Her legacy shines from Catullus and Ovid to Donne and Marvell, from Shakespeare to the lyrics of George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Jerome Kern. Remarkable the blaze of cultural light that has been generated from just a few glimmering fragments of Sapphic verse.


what factors effect the gross heating value(s) of dry natural gas composition.?

Dry natural gas can contain other hydrocarbon components such as ethane propane, butane, pentane, hexane and so on. Each of the molecules have a higher heating value that pure natural gas (methane)\n\nDry natural gas can also contain inert materials such as some CO2 or N2. These can take up space in each volume of natural gas and not contribute any caloric value.

Should I retired  and buy a home in Las Vegas Nevada?

Yes, but just like Wildheart said, as long as you can control your gambling.  (Because if you can't, there will be no retirement and no home...!!!)\n\nThe state of Nevada has no state income tax, so you get to keep more of your retirement income to spend.  Las Vegas has 335 sunny day a year, among best cities for Food and Entertainment, at very reasonable cost.  Housing are still\naffordable in comparison to California.


What factors determine how long a dental filling lasts?  also, resin vs amalgam last?

The problem with amalgam fillings is they have to drill away almost all of the tooth, leaving it very weak, so often the tooth will collapse after only a couple of years. Also they are ugly.\n\nResin ones, on the other hand, look far better, are much stronger and more durable. But you will probably need to sell your right arm to afford one, and they can react with your tooth tissue, especially if you are under 25, and cause pain for anything up to 6 months after you've had it. What's more, if decay occurs under the filling, they can tell with an amalgam one but not with a resin one, or not without an x-ray anyway.\n\nNot many dentists will make you aware of those last 2 points, they want you to pick the expensive option, especialy in the UK as amalgam ones come under the NHS and resin ones don't. I do still normally go for resin ones, but you should know all the pros and cons before choosing.

Who do you think will start the next world war and who would side up during it????

Writing a book, hmmmm....Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. \n\nThat will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. That will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 \n\nNow after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. Europe will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. \n\nAfter things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. \n\nDuring these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. When all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.


Is it true that tornadoes have never occured in the month of february in the state of Nebraska?

Not since 1950.\n\nBut when you consider that since that time, there have been 6 in January and 28 in March, you'd have to figure that sometime in history there has been one. It's surely a possiblility, although a very, very unlkely one.\n\nhttp://www.hprcc.unl.edu/nebraska/NEBTORNADOGRAPHS50-98.html


Do you think the Mexicans should put as much effort into overturning their own government?

That is an excellent question! When ever I complain about the USA people say "love it or leave" I tell them that I would rather fix it. Instead of trying to change Americas laws, which they are doing in large numbers in American cities right now, they need to focus on there own country. Go to any V.A. hospital or elderly home and you will see who really needs social service.


why did the uniited states want to expand it's territory?

Manifest Destiny\n\nNo nation ever existed without some sense of national destiny or purpose. Manifest Destiny -- a phrase used by leaders and politicians in the 1840s to explain continental expansion by the United States -- revitalized a sense of "mission" or national destiny for many Americans.

Why do celeb.s think they know everything and try to get political when they are complete idiots?

Because they can. The only difference between celebs\nand the rest of us is nobody cares what you think and\nsomebody cares what they think. Why do you think Charlton\nHeston is the Pres. of the NRA? Or Arnie is the gov.\nof California? Cause thier famous and people enjoy their\ncompany, therefore having them representing you will\nobviously get your point across to more people.


Didn't God create the heavens, the earth, and everything that exist?

Something I found interesting while studying Genesis. I did a Beth Moore "Patriarchs"  And I liked it but then I got J. Vernon Mcgee Commentary series and he really expands on the Bible.  Check it out it is really good, anyway on the chapter he did on God's creation of Man he states that "It is quite interesting that our bodies are made up of about  16 chemical elements. Those same chemical elements are found in the ground. The physical part of man was taken out of the dust of the ground. If we were to be boiled down  (gross huh)into the separate chemical elements of which we are made, we would be worth very little in terms of money. I used to say $2.98, but inflationhas increased that figure a little. That is the extent of our bodily worth because we were made out of dust from the ground. But man is more than dust. Physically, dust he is and to the dust he will return, but his spirit is going to God."  Just something I found interesting and wanted to share.

How do I get my super religious coworkers to leave the religion at home???

Explain to them clearly that you are glad they have found inspiration, but that your beliefs are very personal to you, and when they proscletize and preach their born again dogma, that they distract you from the true reason they are all at work: TO WORK.\n\nIf they still persist, then for the sanity of self, quit, but quit politely and ask for a recomendation letter.

In California:\nPenal Code §646.9\na) Any person who willfully, maliciously, and repeatedly follows or willfully and maliciously harasses another person and who makes a credible threat with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear for his or her safety, or the safety of his or her immediate family is guilty of the crime of stalking, punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year, or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars ($1,000), or by both that fine and imprisonment, or by imprisonment in the state prison.\nb) Any person who violates subdivision (a) when there is a\ntemporary restraining order, injunction, or any other court order in effect prohibiting the behavior described in subdivision (a) against the same party, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years.\n\nHarass = to engage in a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that seriously alarms, annoys, torments, or terrorizes the person, and that serves no legitimate purpose.\n\nCourse of conduct = two or more acts occurring over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose.\n\nCredible threat = a verbal or written threat, or a threat implied by a pattern of conduct or a combination of verbal, written, or electronically communicated statements and conduct, made with the intent to place the person that is the target of the threat in reasonable fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family, and made with the apparent ability to carry out the threat so as to cause the person who is the target of the threat to reasonably fear for his or her safety or the safety of his or her family.  It is not necessary to prove that the defendant had the intent to actually carry out the threat.


mac or windows based for family desk top?

1. Macs are easier to use.\n2. Windows has manifestly more support options\n3. Online almost always reduces price.\n4. The Gateway seizes because its parts are old. Buy new, especially considering that even the crappiest computer sold commercially for $500 today is a better computer.\n5. Yes, you just need to have a way to bring video from the tapes into the computer. There are lots of "breakout boxes" sold to do this, as well as internal cards.\n6. Any machine can do what you want, save the video editing, including a $500 cheapie from Wal-Mart. Editing video, if you are going to do a lot of it, means you will need to buy the most powerful CPU you can afford and might want to consider a dual-CPU system. You will also probably want the largest and fastest hard drive you can afford.\n\nI would not buy a Mac. It is harder to get software for a Mac, it is difficult to share files with PC users and the machines they make are no more or less reliable than the average PC.

What kind of student were/ are you in school? Read below, please?

The A list were Athletes, the B list were popular. I was on the C list, leftovers! We had some nerds, some ok athletes and mostly just average people. I just got by in school partly because I had a hearing problem (which for some reason a few people thought was a good reason to make fun of me!) When I started college I had bad advice from my Gym teacher councilor and quit after getting academic probation. Three years later I decided to try again, part time. I found subjects that were interesting, and teachers who knew the subject and how to teach it. I became an "A" student, was put on the Dean's list, and eventually got hired as a Research Chemist. Don't judge life by how high school treats you! Find your niche in life and most things will fall in place! Most of the "jocks" I knew are now pot-bellied alcoholics and/or divorced, as well as alot of the "Popular" in crowd! Now, at the age of 56, I have retired, a millionaire, while most of my classmates don't know if they can ever even think of retirement. I may just start my own business!

what should i do if an online employer refuses to pay me for a writing job?

There are honest companies, and luckily a few are hiring freelancers. Try www.wordtechs.com. They recently had an ad running on Craig's list (Austin, TX) I think, looking for writers, and they are good, honest people. You might also try the Writer's Weekly, an online magazine that posts current freelance jobs every week. http://www.writersweekly.com/\n\nOne last thing -- always protect yourself by writing under a legal, binding contract. If nothing else works, then you can go to small claims court and get your money back for just a few dollars.

(serious replies only) How do you know that you are loved?

You know you are loved when your husband works his butt off all the time for you, when he thinks about bringing you a rose on one of many busy days, when he cares enough to call you four or five times a day just to say hi during his extremely busy day, when he takes all the kids off with him to give me a break, all the little things he does for me, and me alone. All of these plus so many more make him a truly wonderful man and lets me know he truly loves me.

Why do some people have faster metabolisms than others?

the main reason for this is because there are 3 types of bodies. Ectomorph Memomorph and Endomorph. Of the 3, the ectomorph (typically the small framed, long and skinny people) have the fastest metabolism because they were born with it. Their bodies require a greater amount of calorie intake in order for them to stay they way they are. A sedentary ectomorph can eat 2500-3000 calories and not gain a single pound while an active endomorph(the people on the other end of the spectrum) can eat 2000 calories and gain weight.\n\nclick on the link to find out what type you are http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker3.htm\n\nhowever, there are also ways of increasing metabolism.\n\n1. exercise. exercise increases metabolism because like any activity that requires you to move and exert effort, you are expending energy and thus burning calories.\n\n2. muscle gain. exercising with weights will lead to muscle gain which will in turn lead to a higher metabolism. Your metabolism will increase if you gain muscle because those muscles will require extra energy to stay alive and thus the increase in metabolism.\n\n3. eating eating small meals more frequently as opposed to the big 3 (breakfast, lunch, dinner) also increases metabolism. try to eat a small meal every 3 hours. The reason for this is that your body burns more calories since it is constantly digesting something in your stomach and will raise your metabolism.

how do members of the public join Opus Dei?

Joining Opus Dei requires a supernatural vocation. It is a personal call from God to place one's whole life at his service, spreading the message of the universal call to holiness in ordinary work and social life.\n\nAn Opus Dei member continues being an ordinary citizen and an ordinary Catholic. The faithful of the Prelature join by a contractual commitment rather than by vows. They remain ordinary faithful of their dioceses and are free to engage in the same social and political activities as other Catholics.\n\nAfter joining Opus Dei, people have the same jobs and live in the same social settings as before. The Prelature's faithful do not live apart from the world. Instead, they view their work and social relationships as ways to grow closer to God and to help others do likewise.\n\nOpus Dei stresses people's responsibility to seek holiness and to lead others to holiness in all the normal circumstances of life, rather than creating special ways of living the faith. As ordinary citizens and Catholics, the faithful of Opus Dei live out their vocation in a natural way, neither making a show of it, nor hiding the fact that they belong to the Prelature. Their daily life and apostolic efforts should reflect their commitment to God's service.\n\nCommitments\n\nMembers of Opus Dei participate in a program of spiritual, doctrinal and apostolic formation adapted to their circumstances and needs. Philosophical and theological instruction follows guidelines set down by the Catholic Church.\n\nCommitments include a plan of spiritual life, centered on daily Mass, Holy Communion and frequent use of the sacrament of Penance, as well as reading Sacred Scripture and other spiritual texts, reciting the Rosary, and spending time in personal prayer. Through a life of joyful and generous self-giving to God and neighbour, they embrace the Cross of Christ hidden in the challenges of daily life. The Prelature's faithful also strive to carry out the duty that all Christians have of spreading the Gospel message effectively to those around them. This apostolic responsibility is an essential part of the Christian vocation, and thus of the vocation to Opus Dei.\n\nOpus Dei encourages its members to fulfill these commitments with a spirit of complete freedom.\n\nIncorporation in the Prelature\n\nIn order to join Opus Dei a person must freely ask to do so, in the personal conviction of having received this divine vocation. Such a calling is a specification or determination of the Christian vocation received at baptism, and it leads them to seek sanctity and participate in the mission of the Church according to the spirit with which God inspired St. Josemaría.\n\nThe request is made in writing and needs to have been accepted by the authorities of the Prelature, and admission is granted after a minimum of six months. After an additional period of at least one year, the person can be temporarily incorporated into the Prelature through a formal declaration of a contractual nature, which is renewable annually. In accordance with canon law, no one may be juridically incorporated into the Prelature who has not reached 18 years of age. After a minimum of five more years, the incorporation can become definitive (that is, at a minimum age of 23).\n\nIncorporation into Opus Dei means, on the part of the Prelature, the commitment to provide the person with ongoing formation in the Catholic faith and in the spirit of Opus Dei, as well as the necessary pastoral care from the priests of the Prelature. On the part of the person to be incorporated, it means the commitment to remain under the jurisdiction of the Prelate in all that concerns the aim of the Prelature and to respect the norms by which it is governed. The bond with the Prelature ceases at the end of the term of the contract with the Prelature, or earlier, if the person so requests, by agreement with the authorities of the Prelature. Departure from the Prelature brings about the cessation o


How do I estimate the height of a tree or building from the ground level.?

If you don't want to spend money, you can use mathmatics.\n\nAll you need is a tape measure and a protractor.\n\nDepending on how tall the tree is (just guess) measure about the same distance from the tree.\n\nyou. . . . Tree  (20 ft.) \n\nNow if you can imagine that you are a vertex of a right triangle, and the tree represents the other two vertices.  Bottom of the tree is one, and the top is the other.\n\nSit down in your spot and hold the protractor level wiith the ground.  From the center of the protractor, view the top of the tree and then wrrite down the angle you are viewing through to see the top of the tree.\n\nNow using trigonomerty you should be able to closely estimate the height of the tree.\n\n\nHeight = distance (you to the tree) multiplied by the SIN(angle from protractor).\n\n\nHere is a trig table you can refer to...\nhttp://wikisource.org/wiki/Trigonometric_functions_of_angles_0%C2%B0_to_90%C2%B0_by_degree


Niacin, also known as nicotinic acid or vitamin B3, is a water-soluble vitamin whose derivatives such as NADH play essential roles in energy metabolism in the living cell and DNA repair. The designation vitamin B3 also includes the amide form, nicotinamide or niacinamide. Severe lack of niacin causes the deficiency disease pellagra, whereas a mild deficiency slows down the metabolism, which in turn decreases cold tolerance and is a potential contributing factor towards obesity.

Is American popular culture hostile to intellectual enrichment?

I think on an outward, juvenile approach society may, but ultimately I think the answer is no. We reward those that have high intellectual achievements, by paying them more than those who do not have it. The financial gain for intellectual enrichment is a statement that our society and economy needs our "nerds" in order to stay competitive.


How much to charge to write a company history?

This type of assignment would also be handled by virtual assistants. VAs charge between $25 and $75 an hour, depending on the level of difficulty of the project (i.e. web design or marketing would be more whereas word processing would be less)and the experience of the VA. I would estimate how many interviews you are likely to give, the basic interview outline, research time, and copywrighting time involved. Do you have any guidelines regarding detail or length of report?


3-hour drug & alcohol awareness course.in baltimore where can i find one???????

Just to expand on some on previous answers.\n\nYour best option is to contact either a drug/alcohol counseling center or the local branch of the National Council on Alcoholism and Addiction and ask for an accredited course. These agencies focus on education, which is what you are requesting. \n\nYour local court or probation office is likely to have contact numbers for either these agencies or a list of some courses that the court recognizes.\n\nAA has a different mission statement and is an all volunteer organization. It does not focus on education, but peer-to-peer support for recovery from alcoholism. Any particular individual may or may not be able to direct you to an "alcohol awareness course" but don't count on it.

if you were president for a day, what would you do and why?

I would get rid of the current tax system.  The government taxes differently according to income; so, not only do people on welfare get MY tax money, they also, don't have to pay the percentage of taxes that I do, if any at all.  I would also change the welfare system.  The current system is ridiculous; it encourages people to get pregnant and shoot out as many kids as they can, so they can get more money.  People on welfare should get NO MORE than what they would make at a minimum wage job, because, hey, they're not working for it.  Also, they should only be eligible for a certain about of time, say, 1 year, to give them time to get back on their feet.  Then say, they shouldn't be eligible for another 3-5 years after that.  Some people get a four year degree from a college and make less that what people are getting off welfare.  Does that not bother anyone else???\n\nNo! I would not end the war.  I think it's necessary for the safety of democracy.


I already answered this for you in your other thread, using Visual Basic. With a little effort, you ought to be able to convert one type of Basic to another. The languages are virtually identical.\n\nOnce again, what you need to do is create a function. Let's call it DozenBetType. It is going to take one argument: an integer: DozenBetType(someInteger)\n\nThe function is going to return:\n1 if the number passed to it is 1-12\n2 if the number is 13-24\n3 if the number is 25-36\n\nThen you can simply call the function on both the number guessed and the number your program has generated.\n\nFor example, if the number your program generated is declared as intResult, and the number the person guessed is declared as intGuess:\n\nif DozenBetType(intGuess) = DozenBetType(intResult) then they have won the bet, otherwise they have not. (A simple if-then-else statement\n\nIf you don't want to use a function, or if that's too complicated for you, you can declare two new variables: intDozenTypeResult, for the number your program generated and intDozenTypeGuess, for the number your user guessed.\n\nSet intDozenTypeResult to be 1 if the program's random number is between 1-12, set it to be 2 if the value is 13-24, set it to be 3 if the value is 25-36. \n\nDo the same thing for intDozenTypeGuess.\n\nThen, simply compare those two variables:\n\nIf intDozenTypeResult = intDozenTypeGuess then they have won, otherwise they have not (again, a simple if-then-else statement).\n\nPlease, don't create new threads for the same question. Just update your old question.


Who's the singer and song name-heard only part of song 'feel the rain on your face'  - 'blank page'- unwritten

"Unwritten" is a single from British singer Natasha Bedingfield, co-written by Bedingfield, Danielle Brisebois and Wayne Rodrigues. The song appears on her debut album, also named Unwritten. It was released as her third single in the United Kingdom in 2004, and as her second single in the United States in late 2005. In early 2006, the single proved to be a big hit for the singer in the U.S., as it climbed slowly on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching number six (becoming her second Top 20 hit and first Top 10 hit in the country). American Idol contestant Ayla Brown sang Unwritten just before being eliminated from the show.


Why does magnesium help restless leg syndrome?

Magnesium is a natural 'calcium channel blocker'.  It helps to reduce the excitability of the nervous system and the contractility of muscles.  Vitamin B6 is important in the physiological function of magnesium and might provide additional help.  Calcium is also intimately involved in magnesium functions.\n\nNote: recent research estimates that up to 75% of Americans receive less than the recommended levels of magnesium from their diets.\n\nBest wishes.


Can a Mexican citizen cross the border for just a day of shopping without a passport? What is a 72 hr. pass?

Here is the information from the US Department of State website, Bureau of Consular Affairs.  Its a great site. See web address below.. Happy Shopping\n\nTemporary Visitors to the U.S.\n\nInternational visitors add greatly to our nation's cultural, education and economic life. We continue the proud tradition of welcoming visitors to the United States, with secure borders and open doors.\n\nMost Canadian citizens and many citizens from Visa Waiver Program countries can come to the U.S. without a visa if they meet certain requirements. Starting October 26, 2004, visa waiver travelers from ALL 27 Visa Waiver Program countries must present either a machine-readable passport at the U.S. port of entry to enter the U.S. without a visa, otherwise a U.S. visa is required. See information about the upcoming 10/26/05 digital photograph and 10/26/06 e-passport requirements for VWP travelers. Learn more. Other foreign citizens will need a nonimmigrant visa.\n\nNonimmigrant visas are for international travelers, (citizens of other countries), coming to the U.S. temporarily. This visa allows you to travel to a U.S. port-of-entry (airport, for example) and request permission of the Department of Homeland Security immigration inspector to enter the U.S. A visa does not guarantee entry into the United States.\n\nInternational travelers come to the U.S. for a wide variety of reasons, including tourism, business, medical treatment and certain types of temporary work. The type of visa needed is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel. For an overview of the types of nonimmigrant visas available under immigration law, please see Nonimmigrant Visa Classifications on the USCIS website. The Consular Officer at your embassy or consulate will decide what kind of visa you need, when you apply.\n\nAdvance planning can smooth the visa application process for you.

The larynx (plural larynges), or voicebox, is an organ in the neck of mammals involved in protection of the trachea and sound production. The larynx houses the vocal cords, and is situated at the point where the upper tract splits into the trachea and the esophagus.\n\n\nThe structure of the larynx is mainly composed of cartilage bound by ligaments and muscle. At the front is the thyroid cartilage, creating the prominence of the Adam's apple in humans. The inferior horns (protrusions at the bottom rear of the thyroid cartilage) of the thyroid cartilage rest on a ring-shaped cartilage called the cricoid cartilage which connects the larynx to the trachea. The cricoid cartilage resembles a signet ring (narrow in front, broader in back). Above the larynx is the hyoid bone, by which (via various muscles and ligaments) the larynx is connected to the jaw and skull. These muscles move the larynx during swallowing. The hyoid is the only floating bone in the body; it is not 'attached' to any other bones. The epiglottis is another cartilage that extents upwards behind the back of the tongue and projects down through the hyoid bone. It connects to the thyroid cartilage just beneath the thyroid notch (the Adam's apple).\n\nThe space defined by these main cartilages can be divided roughly into the supraglottis at the top and the glottis.\n\nThe glottis is defined as the space between the vocal folds (more commonly known as vocal cords), which are located at the upper rim of the cricoid cartilage. They attach to the thyroid cartilage at the front, and to the Arytenoid cartilages at the back. These are two roughly tetrahedral cartilages responsible for pulling the vocal folds together and apart (adduction and abduction — see Anatomical terms of location). The glottis is the laryngeal area of most interest to speech researchers, as it is widely believed to be where most of the control of phonation and pitch goes on. The vocal folds are muscular masses coated with a mucous membrane which protects much of the respiratory tract from foreign particles. Their inner edges contain the vocal ligament.\n\nThe supraglottis is that part of the larynx above the glottis. It contains the ventricle of the larynx (laryngeal sinus), the ventricular folds (or false vocal folds), the epiglottis, and the aryepiglottal folds — two folds of connective tissue that connect the epiglottis to the arytenoid cartilages. Muscles in the aryepiglottal folds can pull the leaf-shaped epiglottis down, sealing the larynx and protecting the trachea below from foreign objects.\n\nDuring swallowing, the larynx (at the epiglottis and at the glottis) closes to prevent swallowed material from entering the lungs; there is also a strong cough reflex to protect the lungs. Sensation is transferred by the superior laryngeal nerve (glottis and supraglottis) and the recurrent laryngeal nerve (subglottis and muscles), both branches of the vagus nerve.\n\nWhile articulation of the sound (the fine manipulation that creates the many different vowel and consonant sounds of the world's languages) is achieved by the use of the teeth, tongue, palate, and lips, sound is generated in the larynx, and that is where pitch and volume are manipulated.\n\nThe vocal folds can be held close together (by adducting the arytenoid cartilages), so that they vibrate (see phonation). The muscles attached to the arytenoid cartilages control the degree of opening.\n\nVocal fold length and tension can be controlled by rocking the thyroid cartilage forward and backward on the cricoid cartilage, and by manipulating the tension of the muscles within the vocal folds. This causes the pitch produced during phonation to rise or fall.

my son has autistic spectrum disorder and they say in the spectrum he is a 6 what does this mean?

Autism is diagnosed in children with the use of various testing instruments - each instrument is generally appropriate for children of different ages and communication ability. Some common tests include the CHAT (Checklist for Autism in Toddlers), the ABC (Autism Behavior Checklist) and CARS (the Childhood Autism Rating Scale). \n\nI suspect that your physician has assessed your child with one or more of these instruments, and has referenced the "rating" that your child scored on the test.\n\nInterpretation of the number that you've reported would depend on the particular testing instrument that was used, so the best answer to your question can only come from a more detailed conversation with your doctor.\n\nYour doctor should be able to provide information to you in a manner that makes you feel that you completely understand the diagnosis, and you should feel comfortable that your doctor is going to serve as your best and most effective resource in understanding and responding to your child's diagnosis. If your doctor does not make you feel comfortable in asking questions, I would recommend that you seek out the advice of another doctor whose patient skills might be more conducive to your comfort and understanding. You will be your son's most important caregiver, and you can only help him thrive if you are thoroughly knowledgeable about his condition.\n\nVery best of luck and patience to you.


This acronym helped me out a lot when trying to figure out algebra. PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) It shows you the order in which you solve the problem. First off you start with anything in parentheses. Then you solve the Exponents. Next comes Multiplying or Dividing. And finally you Add or Subtract. Hope this helps!

They're not - they just want to keep it out of politics.  AS IT SHOULD BE.  It's called separation of church and state, something a lot of conservatives need to look into these days.  Religion is an exclusionary business, and if you include it politics, you alienate a large number of people.


do you think the dead will actually walk the earth and eat brains?

No.  If they're dead then they don't need to eat things.  *Un*dead have a variety of dietary requirements, but are rarely so picky as to be stuck with just eating brains with no flavor differentiation between smart people and stupid people or happy people and sad people.  \n\nBut frankly, I find it more likely that a strain of Mad Cow disease will make people brain-munching grey-matter junkies than hungry dead folks start rampaging about.  Look up "cockroach wasp zombie" to see how tripped out nature can get before death...

What was Machiavelli's motivation for writing "The Prince?"?

Well, If I remember correctly, I think Machiavelli was upset with the people who were and had recently been in power...I think he thought thought that his way of dealing with things, although pretty awful, was what was best for people on the whole. Becuase his ideas are so umm...unpleseant, you might get creativity points if you try to play him off as truly concerned with and trying to help his home. A humanitarian who was willing to sacrifice many to save many more.

i need to find a goverment site that i can apply for grants and loans without being charged any money?

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.

One of the oldest religious traditions of India, Jainism has existed side by side with Hinduism throughout its long history. With fewer than 5 million adherents and comprising less than 1% the Indian population, Jainism has demonstrated a remarkable tenacity and endurance and continues to exert an influence far beyond its small numbers. \n\nFounder: Jainism (the name derives from a Sanskrit word meaning "follower of the Jina, or conqueror") was established in our era by Mahavira ("the Great Hero") in the sixth century B.C.E. In fact, Mahavira is considered only the most recent in a list of 24 such teachers who brought Jainism into the world during previous great cosmic eras of time. These teachers, or "Tirthankaras," taught a path to religious awakening based on renouncing the world by practice of strict religious austerity. Mahavira established a monastic community of both nuns and monks. This community is the oldest continually surviving monastic community in the world. \n\n     Mahavira followed an ascetic group called Nirgranthas which had been founded some 200 years ago by a certain Parshva. The term "Nirgrantha" was latter used for the members of the order Mahavira started.Parshva is remebered as 23 rd of 24 great teachers or  Tirthankaras of the jain faith. after 12 years of meditation and travells Mahavira found full enlightment nirvana; he becane worty (Arhant), a conqueror ( Jina), a "ford maker".

I am purchasing life insurance and would like to know how I can have all 3 of my kids down for beneficiaries?

On the insurance application you can normally assign  multiple beneficiaries. In the amount box, you can use a percentage if it is a paper form (e.g. Bobby ...33.3%) Or you can divide the face value by the number of beneficiaries to come up with a numeric value.\n\nIf there are only 1 or 2 beneficiary lines, call your insurance agent for an additional beneficiary form.


How do you know if a pillow or sheets have mites or not?

Bed bugs infest only a small proportion of residences, but they should be suspected if residents complain of bites that occurred while sleeping. The bedroom and other sleeping areas should be carefully examined for bed bugs and signs of bed bug activity. Folds and creases in the bed linens, and seams and tufts of mattresses and box springs, in particular, may harbor bed bugs or their eggs. They may also be found within pleats of curtains, beneath loose areas of wallpaper near the bed, in corners of desks and dressers, within spaces of wicker furniture, behind cove molding, and in laundry or other items on the floor or around the room. Sometimes, characteristic dark brown or reddish fecal spots of bed bugs are apparent on the bed linens, mattress or walls near the bed. A peculiar coriander-like odor may be detected in some heavily infested residences. Adhesive-based traps used for sampling insects or rodents are not particularly effective for trapping bed bugs.  http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/bedbugs/

Say you are going to price a currency forward dated one yr from now. Say the currency rate is 10% and the base currency rate (let it be US dollar)4%.\nThen you can either borrow money at 4% in dollars (and pay 1.04 at the end per each dollar), buy currency in the cash market , and invest it at 10%. You will have E0 x 1.1 units of the currency, where e0 is the spot exchange rate.\n\nThe forward price HAS TO BE Ef=e0 x 1.1/1.04. Otherwise, (say its more than that) you would be doing the described operation, then selling at Ef and getting a free lunch.\nThen price would adjust until there is no free lunch.

Is this a good time to buy a home or condo in Orange County, CA?

At this point, it may not be the wisest choice to buy a home in Orange County.  Prices are incredibly high and the prices seem to have peaked and may be heading down.  If that happens, you could be upside down on your loan (i.e. owing more than the property is worth).  Some people in Orange County are selling their homes and moving into rentals till the prices come down.  They will then buy another home and pocket the profits from the first sale.


left vs right / conservative vs liberal / are labels meaningless? Have we become too polarized?

I agree.  The probablem is that you're asking people to think.  It's too hard for the majority of Americans.  It's much easier to look up what the Republican or Democratic party says about each issue and vote for that.  I've only voted in one election (being 19 years old), and it was just a state election on several bills, but I know I voted for things that were proposed by people I very much disliked because I thought they would do good regardless of the intentions of the people who wrote them.  Even though I consider myself a Democrat (and a liberal one, at that) I'd gladly vote for a Republican if I thought he'd do a better job than the other candidates.\n\nThe thing that really gets to me here on Answers, though, is "liberal bashing."  People take the polarization of the poltical arena to the extreme.  When people vote along party lines that's one thing, but when they take that out of the voting booth and make their day-to-day life a war against the opposing political party it threatens to destroy the very foundations of our democracy.  When elections are determined by a desire to vote against the liberals or against the conservatives rather than genuine consideration of the issues, we risk making some really bad choices.  It sounds too much like the backdrop for a red state, blue state civil war.


What did Bill Oreily mean when he called the "Far Left" "Kool-Aid drinkers"???

He is alluding to the sheeplike followers of Rev. Jim Jones who drank poisoned Kool-Aid and died in the jungles of Guyana way back in the 70's.  The leftist will blindly follow the lead of their "phrophets", even to their demise.

I wish it were true. There are several theories that could work.

who would you pick Vin Desel or Ben Affleck?

Vin Diesel. No Doubt. Have you seen him without his shirt on? There is no competition between these two. One has bulging biceps, an incredible smile, nice voice, great skin tone, a body that is unbelievable, and well, Ben Affleck has a nice smile, a beautiful wife and a new baby girl. So they are two different categories. You should ask a question like Vin Diesel, or Keith Hamilton Cobb? If you don't know who he is, take a moment to look him up. He is yummy.


my son and husband are dead againest. how do I compramise them?

If your husband and son are in constant conflict with each other, you must take it upon yourself to mediate their conflict.  If they cannot stay in one room without wanting to strangle each other, then separate them when you are talking about an issue that is on the table.  You must try as much as possible to speak using neutral language - remember, you are not currying favors or siding with any one of them, you are being a medium for more effective communication between the two. Find out what are the underlying issues (emotional and otherwise) are for each other and convey that to them.  Surely, you will be able to reach a compromise.

i havent heard that example, but its possible. that would possibly fall into the category of microevolution...like when birds beaks get bigger or smaller to crack different nuts. its still a bird, with slightly different attributes. that would be an example of artificial rather than natural selection though, since it would be people choosing what they think is attractive, rather than nature killing off people who were less well equipped to deal with the environment.


I've got a cold. How can I unblock my nose without using a decongestant? I've tried steaming, it didn't work

Well you can unblock your nose by using saline drops. All that is normal salt water. It can be bought  but you can make it yourself by boiling salt,but let it cool first of course! Decongestants causes high blood pressure so salt water is the safe alternative.

I believe that ADHD is both misdiagnosed frequently and that ADHD is missed, and not diagnosed when it should be.  To diagnose ADHD properly several criteria need to be met and a comprehensive evaluation needs to occur.  Comprehensive does not mean visiting the pediatrician for a half hour, saying the kid has a bunch of these behaviors and walking out with a prescription.\n\nI believe that second opinions should be mandatory on an ADHD diagnosis.\n\nBelow I have pasted some information from a report by the University of Maryland Medical Center:\nhttp://www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/how_attention-deficit_hyperactivity_disorder_diagnosed_000030_4.htm\n\nArguments that ADHD is Overdiagnosed in Some Children:\n\nThe popularity methylphenidate (Ritalin) has encouraged some parents and teachers to pressure physicians into prescribing this standard ADHD drug for children, usually Caucasian boys, who are simply aggressive or who have poor grades. In one study of fifth graders in two different cities, 18% and 20% of Caucasian boys were being treated with medications. In one center, after careful testing, ADHD was the actual diagnosis in only 11% of children referred for ADHD and 18% had no disability. Others were simply poorer learners or had no problems at all. \n\nIn one study, children more likely to receive medication were young for their grade, indicating they may have been socially and intellectually immature, rather than behaviorally impaired. \n\nBeing poor and growing up in a single parent household contribute to emotional and behavioral problems. The significant increase in these problems has also paralleled an increase in the diagnosis of ADHD children, who may simply be responding to social and economic problems. \n\nArguments that ADHD is Underdiagnosed in Some Children:\nSome evidence suggests that many girls with ADHD may go underdiagnosed. Research indicates that girls with ADHD are often inattentive but not hyperactive or impulsive. In fact, older girls with ADHD tend to have social problems due to withdrawal and internalized emotions, showing symptoms of anxiety and depression. The inattentive subtype, in any case, may first show up in older children and adolescents. However, according to the criteria, ADHD is not diagnosed in people whose symptoms appear after age seven. \n\nPhysicians may fail to diagnose children with ADHD because they often behave normally in the quiet physician's office where there are no distractions to trigger symptoms. \n\nIn spite of the fact that there seems to be no difference in the disorder among population groups, African-American, Hispanic, and Asian children with ADHD are half as likely to be diagnosed and treated as Caucasian children. By high school, the racial disparity increases to the level that the medication rate for blacks is one-fifth of that for whites. \n\nADHD may also be underdiagnosed in adults. Some experts, in fact, believe that ADHD may be the most common chronic undiagnosed psychiatric disorder in adults.

what do bon jovi, bruce springsteen, and save the day have in common?


Prescription steroid creams are the safest and simplest initial treatment, especially for recently diagnosed or spreading vitiligo. They are usually applied twice daily, and results require three to six months. If over-dosed or over-used then side effects include local skin damage, and glaucoma or cataracts when used around the eyes. Regular monitoring, and adjusting the potency of the creams to be appropriate for the location can avoid these side effects. For extensive vitiligo, oral medications for repigmentation can be tried. The treatment most commonly used is PUVA (Psoralen & Ultra-Violet A light). PUVA is partially successful in over half of those treated, but complete repigmentation occurs in only 15-20%. Treatments are given in the office in a special booth 2 or 3 times weekly. It takes at least 2-3 months to begin having an effect and 200 treatment sessions are not unusual. Older people, those with pigment loss for more than 5 years and the hands and feet areas usually respond poorly.\nAnother method of psoralen treatment, used occasionally for children or patients with small, scattered vitiligo patches, involves the application of a very dilute solution of the drug directly to the affected skin area. This is then exposed to sunlight. Such topical treatment makes a person very susceptible to severe burn and blisters following too much sun exposure. It has the advantages of being done at home, and does not damage the entire skin surface, as PUVA does. Recently, some experts have claimed that another form of light treatment, UVB, is just as effective and safer.\nIf a person doesn't respond to PUVA treatment, and the vitiligo has not changed in the last year one may consider surgical treatment of vitiligo. Avoid surgical treatment if one scars abnormally or sometimes have lost pigment after a small cut or scrape. All surgical therapies must be viewed as experimental because their effectiveness and side effects remain to be fully defined. Sunless tanning preparations may be used to darken the vitiligo a more acceptable color. These will cover small areas of vitiligo well. Micropigmentation (tattooing) is rarely recommended. It works best for the lip area, particularly in people with dark skin; however, it is difficult to perfectly match the skin, and tends to look worse over time. For loss of pigment over more than half of the exposed areas of the body, depigmentation therapy can be considered. This is the permanent (or nearly permanent) bleaching out of all pigmentation. The remaining skin will be an even white color, which can then be covered with the cosmetics.\n Please see your doctor.
