Go and ask several photographers. If they say "I don't sell negatives," offer $10,000. He will probably say OK. Then tell him you will be asking other photographers, and so, what is the least he would accept? You could also mention that if you can't get the negative, you will scan the photo into your computer. The quality won't be as good as with a negative, and folks might think it is the fault of the photographer. Fred Foldvary = [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!?

Some immigrants live like the country of origin and presumably they would have life expectancies similar to said country. Some immigrants live like the host country and should have similar life expectancies. 2 caveats 1- genes matter 2- what happens in the womb is enormously important and must be taken into consideration.
Re: Life Expectancy and Immigration
I'd suggest getting some life expectancy tables out. You can readily calculate these things one you have a life. fabio On Fri, 25 Jan 2002, Bryan Caplan wrote: > Gray, Lynn wrote: > > > > It would seem to depend on the age of the person at the time of the move. > > Maybe so, maybe not.

RE: Life Expectancy and Immigration
Country of destination would be the answer. Life expectancy has a lot to do with access to a myriad of services primary available in developed countries (where life expectancy is greater) such as: -medical services and treatment (Proper diagnosis and so on) -presence (or lack thereof) of highly and deadly contagious diseases -proper nutrition -proper mental health care (anxiety and stress due to environment, i.e. political unrest) Lifespan is also related to: -better information -and overall better quality of life The reverse would also true. A person going from a country with high life expectancy to one with a shorter lifespan and adopting the locals way of life, i.e. exposure to diseases, malnutrition, etc, would have their lifespan considerably shortened.
