  • Wash your face everyday with soap, drink lots of water, execise, or use treatments such as proactiv, or my personal recommendation that works very well, Thursday Plantation Soothing Camomile Wash For Acne and the Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Blemish Stick.
  • There are various home remedies for acne scars and many are going for these methods of dealing with the condition rather than the traditional one of using creams and gel. The convenience it gives the person makes it something that any one would naturally go for. Taking home remedies for acne scars should go with a few things.
  • Take lots of water, exercise and take supplementary vitamins with the home remedies for acne scars. They will add to making the condition go away quickly. As for the home remedies for acne scars, one of the most surprising one is your everyday toothpaste. Applying the paste on the affected area like a pimple will see it fading away within 24 hours.
  • A dairy-free diet (no dairy products whatsoever). Read the 'Dietary Cure For Acne' by Professor Loren Cordain (you can buy it or borrow it from your local library). Plus read about the scientific research by Dr. Cordain and his colleagues, which gives a new understanding of how acne is influenced by diet. The 'Dietary Cure for Acne' works by preventing the four immediate causes of acne.

What is the strongest narcotic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The strongest opiate currently prescribed for humans is the Fentanyl Transdermal Patch, in 100mcg (microgram) dosages, which can be increased as necessary. Fentanyl (brand name Duragesic) is 30 times stronger than morphine. Like Oxycodone, Morphine and others in its class, it is a DEA Schedule 2 opiate, requiring monthly new prescriptions as refills aren't permitted and only a 30 day supply can be dispensed. It really puts a damper on your life, having been Duragesic user for many years.

Duragesic is typically prescribed for long-term chronic pain patients who are in constant extreme pain. The most common patients who use them are terminally ill cancer patients. I know of one such person who had up to 6 100mcg patches applied - I myself have only required 2.

The difference between Fentanyl (which is used as an anesthetic normally) and drugs like Diluadid, Demerol or Oxycodone, is that it is a timed release drug - it lasts up to 72 hours for most, 48 hours for some like me. It also comes in 25, 50, 75 and 100mcg doses that can be combined to achieve the proper dose. It also requires the patient to be highly opiate tolerant, since it is in the body continually for days, weeks, months, or for some like me, even years.

Asked by Herb123

Norðurturninn (The north tower), is an office and retail building in Iceland, which is currently under construction. The building is located in downtown Kópavogur next to Smáratorg tower. The building is connected to the shopping mall Smáralind and is also a part of it. Norðurturninn is said to be 15 floors or 62 metres (205 ft) when construction will be completed,[1]but is proposed to be 110 metres high with 28 floors, which will surpass the current tallest building, Smáratorg tower. Construction of the tower has been stopped since the 2008-2011 Icelandic financial crisis, and uncertainty is when/if the tower will be completed.

Smáratorg 3 (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈsmauːraˌtʰɔrk]) is an office and retail building in Iceland. It is the tallest building in Iceland, surpassing the Hallgrímskirkja in height, and is the fifth tallest architectural structure in the country after the Eiðar longwave transmitter, the masts of Naval Radio Transmitter Facility Grindavik and longwave radio mast Hellissandur.

The building is located in Smárahverfi, Kópavogur, where the shopping mall Smáralind is also located. The building has 20 floors and is 77.6 metres (256 ft)[1] high. The tower was designed by Arkís architects.

The global accounting and consulting firm Deloitte is located in the tower.

The building was opened on February 11, 2008.

What is fastest MTA subway line?

Asked by Wiki User

From time to time, New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority has claimed that the Lexington Avenue line in Manhattan, where 4, 5 and 6 IRT division trains run on parallel tracks from their starting points in various parts of Manhattan, the Bronx and Brooklyn is "the busiest subway line in the world".

The only direct reference to this claim that I could find in a search was an article in the New York Times about the fatal train derailment in August, 1991 near the 14th. Street Union Square station that closed the line in Manhattan for 6 days. A link to the article is posted below. It says that, at the time of the accident, the Lexington Avenue Line was moving 500,000 passengers every workday. You may have to "join" the NYT website to read it, but it's free.

But I have also read that transit officials in Tokyo claim that city's Toei Mita line carries the most passengers in the world.

I realize this doesn't fully answer the question, but I hope it's a start. Compl. answer : RER A subway / interregional train line in Paris transports more than 1 000 000 people every work day, and 286 millions of people per year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RER_A

Who has the most powerful roundhouse kick in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are currently no world records pertaining to the power of a punch (only one record exists for speed of a left jab). Every alleged scientific study reported on the internet has used flawed methods of measurement not acceptable to genuine scientific standards, and the number of individuals measured is not large enough to qualify as a thorough study. Most (if not all) quoted statistics have no verifiable sources cited to substantiate the claim.

If any contributors find an authentic world record, or peer reviewed, genuine scientific study, feel free to add the information here. Be sure to include citations for verification.

What is the largest amount of horsepower ever made by a motor?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Wartsila-Sulzer RTA96-C turbocharged two-stroke diesel engine is the most powerful and most efficient prime-mover in the world today. The Aioi Works of Japan's Diesel United, Ltd built the first engines.

It is available in 6 through 14 cylinder versions, all are inline engines. These engines were designed primarily for very large container ships. Ship owners like a single engine/single propeller design and the new generation of larger container ships needed a bigger engine to propel them.

The cylinder bore is just under 38" and the stroke is just over 98". Each cylinder displaces 111,143 cubic inches (1820 liters) and produces 7780 horsepower. Total displacement comes out to 1,556,002 cubic inches (25,480 liters) for the fourteen cylinder version.

Some facts on the 14 cylinder version:
Total engine weight: 2300 tons (The crankshaft alone weighs 300 tons.)
Length: 89 feet
Height: 44 feet
Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm
Maximum torque: 5,608,312 lb/ft at 102rpm

What is the most expensive cymbal brand?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Zildjian-

all zildjians made before about 1966 are likely to be better than most modern cymbals. this is due to what is known as the Ringo Effect. before they were made extra world famous by Ringo on the beatles American tour, zildjian were almost completely hand crafted. that is lathed and often hammered. the huge rise in demand resulting from the Ringo Effect led to zildjian automating parts of the process that contribute to the sound.

if you really want cymbals that feel and sound like musical instruments you are best off buying vintage zildjians and early sabians (made by Robert zildjian) from the internet. Surprisingly it will probably cost you less than buying new mass produced clangers from the shops.

this is a well researched opinion.

Normally, It would be Mega, but apperantly, there is a stronger stage: "Super Ultimate: a level even higher than Mega. Shown in manga V-Tamer and some NDS games, it has appeared in the anime series on certain occasions. Only a few Digimon are at this level, and sometimes they are just classified as Mega for convenience. However, in Digimon World DS, Daemon's Super Ultimate is referred to as a Super Mega Level. An example of Super Mega Digimon are Omnimon, Imperialdramon PM, Malomyotismon and Gallantmon Crimson Mode, CV Angemon, Holy Lord Angemon"

What is the smallest active volcano in the world?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Taal Volcano

Taal Volcano is an active strato volcano on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is situated between the towns of Talisay and San Nicolas in Batangas. It consists of an island in Lake Taal, which is situated within a caldera formed by an earlier, very powerful eruption. It is located about 50 km (31 Miles) from the capital, Manila. It also has the distinction of being home to the "Largest island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island". This is referring to Vulcan point, an island in crater lake.

The volcano has erupted violently several times, causing loss of life in the populated areas surrounding the lake, the current death toll standing at around 5,000 - 6,000. Because of its proximity to populated areas and eruptive history, the volcano has been designated a Decade Volcano worthy of close study to prevent future natural disasters. It was thought to be named as "a volcano inside a volcano" because many believed that the lake that circles the volcano was once a crater or mouth of a volcano.
