That part of the vision that is perceived by the cones of the eye. Rods detect black and white.
How does a blind man know when he is done wiping his butt?
He knows, It takes a bit of effort, but he ends up being pretty sure. If you need to look to be certain, then you're worse off than he is.
Does anyone know the blind monk and sect leader Idji Xuan?
If you're talking about this french guru af Algrange and his sect - what is definetely a CULT not a sect - I know him.

Hello,
I see you are asking "What are the causes for degos syndrome?"
Many theories have been proposed as to what is the underlying cause of Degos disease. Three main theories include (1) viral infection, (2) defects in the body's blood clotting ability (primary disorder of coagulation), and (3) autoimmunity, whereby the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.

What causes a ball-cock type toilet valve to release water in a short spurt sporadically?
either you have something caught in your angle valve or your float isn't adjusted properly. try turning off the angle valve, disconnecting it and turn it on and off a couple of times with a bucket to catch the water. If that doesn't work try adjusting the screw on top of your float. or you can just bend the rod.
AnswerThe gasket on the flapper may also be damaged or corroded, causing the toilet to leak slowly until it reaches the point that the ball drops enough to release more water into the tank.This is especially likely if you use a chlorene tablet or other cleaning agent in your tank, which can easily corrode the soft gasket that plugs the hole in the bottom of the tank.
To fix, simply replace the gasket, or the entire flapper.
AnswerIt can happen if someone in the house uses another fixture (let someone else use the water in another room and or same room, take tank lid off stool and look at the float ball and see if it does it when you use another fixture, you might have to try all fixtures (one at a time) even washer and dishwasher. Ans 4 - the flapper valve is leaking slightly, enough to slowly reduce water level then fill valve fills it again - and again - and again - Save yourself a lot of grief, go get a new flapper and a Fluidmaster A400 fill valve, -about $20 for all parts and you can fix in less than an hour. - Is it really worth fooling around ?What causes blindness milky or cloudy eyes in a week old lamb?
Two conditions are commonly
seen in lambs eyes. The first is apparent
from birth and usually affects both
eyes. It is called entropion and is where
the bottom eyelid folds into the eye irritating
it. This can usually be fixed by
simply folding the eyelid out and stretching
it.
The other condition we see is conjunctivitis,
again most common when insufficient
colostrum has been fed. The eye
appears red and there is usually a discharge.
Clean the crust away and wipe
with slightly salty water and keep clean.
Antibiotics may be necessary if the
problem persists.
The human eyes contains liquid that protects it from ultraviolet and infrared rays as well as particles that may enter it.
The blinking allows for the spreading of this liquid so that the eyes do not dry out.
At the same time, it may allow for disposal of particles that may have entered the eye.
Do blind people use cellphones?
Not all blind people use cell phones but I bet at least 40% of blind people use cell phones.
What can you learn from blind people?
You learn that all of your neglected senses come into play when you don't have the luxury of having all of them. Notice how a blind person has a keen sense of hearing and touch and taste. They must use all of their other sense exclusively to compensate for their lack of sight. It's beautiful.
What can cause blindness in one eye?
Despite the previous version of the answer, there is no credible evidence at all for radiation from television, cellphones or computers causing either temporary or permanent blindness.
Looking at the sun can overwhelm the retinal cells and cause temporary blindness, but may also very easily cause permanent damage.
There are a number of causes of temporary blindness, but most temporary blindness results from sudden temporary changes in blood pressure, such as aortic dissection, basilar artery or retinal migraine, cardiac or carotid emboli, choroidal or retinal vascular spasm, hyperviscosity, severe occlusive carotid disease. Stress responses (temporary blindness is sometimes seen in soldiers in conflict) or mild strokes may also have the same effect.
Other causes of temporary blindness may result from chemical or biochemical poisons such as Pepper Spray, or plants such as daphne or spurge.
yes they can. they have a watch that they can feel and some blind people have a watch that says outloud the time.
"have long hair they were necklaces and were head bands."
this is a horribly incomplete notion of what a hippie "was" and "was doing".
TRUE hippies, and i won't sugar coat this so as to not mislead people.
TRUE hippies were a new take on the beat generation. Wikipedia generally defines the beat generation, stating "Central elements of "Beat" culture included experimentation with drugs and alternative forms of sexuality, an interest in Eastern religion, a rejection of materialism, and the idealizing of exuberant, unexpurgated means of expression and being."
The "hippie" was the new social vehicle for this aging wisdom. Hippies had beards, long hair, strange fashion, headbands, necklaces, and other questionable hygiene decisions because it was all meant to REFLECT a knowing that society's social and fashion norms were neither here nor there; ENTIRELY subjective. The hippies meant to highlight this fact by demonstrating their unwillingness to comply, which was only strengthened by the numbers doing it. This was effectively rebelling against fashion, rather than a fashion revolution. It was not about the superficial ideas of fashion as they are sold to people today. A true hippie first believes a series of self evident wisdoms which manifest in their individual image and style, RATHER than picking up a style to try and sell your inner self as is popular today. Hippies were the real rebels. They knew why, instead of just knowing they wanted to.
Hippies did drugs. Although they tried many, the class of psychedelics is most acredited and most responsible for the spiritual influences upon the subculture. Back then psychedelics like LSD and psylocybin (the active compound in shrooms) were widely known. Both enhance one's awareness and appreciation for the natural world, and allows us to view this world from a lens of perspective different from our own, while also allowing oneself to regain control over the ego, making it work for the soul, rather than seeking it's own pleasure at the expense of a greater satisfaction, a greater good.
The hippies were responsible for such forward thinking as clean energy, anti dogmatic spirituality (spirituality without the politics of religion), new forms of sexuality including non monagomy, new forms of governance revising the faults of capitalism, organic farming, sustainability (support yourself, do not depend), and anti materialism ie technology is a tool to humanity, not it's savior.
Romanticized recounts of the hippies of the sixties are often void of ANY of the wisdoms that hippies understood intuitively. If you want good content on the ideals, read The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley, Be Here Now by Ram Dass, and watch Easy Rider.
To put current times into perspective, the baby boomers are Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. Today's twenty year olds give or take are the Luke Skywalker. We must remind the now middle aged, largely middle class that THEY found the solution, but we can refine it, and together restore peace to the world.
Please let me know if i should delve deeper into any one of these issues.

If you are blind what do you see?
By definition you don't see anything when you are blind (or at least not completely blind; many people have limited vision). The question is like asking "what do you hear when you are deaf?" The answer is nothing.
