We are no smarter than the next person.  By keeping our minds stimulated, this should be us sharp into our ripe old age.  Besides, there are researches out there that says these types of silly games can ward off Alzheimer Disease.

As the the most numerous clan, (as of 10 years ago) it was Vang follow very closely by Yang. There is a huge gap from the top two and the rest.  The Vang's gain in great number during the reign of GVP; i.e. preferential treatment and bias.

Right on the meds but....

I believe the best tx is.... Incision and drain. 


I believe you are correct for treating an abscess or wound.  The bug is called Staphylococcus aureus, and in the case of MRSA, it spreads hematogenously .  Unfortunately, once a patient is given this label, there will always be total isolation for all consequent visits.  So one cannot be rid of MRSA, that is why I said death is the best Tx.  Anyhow, we are both right!

Given:
an object falls down at 9.8m/s2 (meter per second squared)

If a penny is dropped from the top of the Empire State Building (1,454 feet or 443 meters) and an average penny weighs 3.1g.  What is the speed when it strikes the ground? 

1) Is the speed when it hits the ground?
2) Faster than a bullet?
3) Can it kill?

Agree! It might not ward off, but it will delay the onset of Alzheimer's. People are encouraged to take on increasingly difficult brain challenges to improve cognitive function, diet changes and maintaining a social life to try to slow cognitive decline and lower the risk for Alzheimer's. I, myself is not a specialist, but have worked in this field for a long time. As a Life Enrichment Coordinator, my job is to supervise and provide meaningful and richful activity program that appropriately meet the physical, social, cultural, spiritual, emotional, and recreational needs and interests of my residents. So, I do appreciate that we are exercising our brain, mentally and physically. Its going to be worth it on the long run....

Speaking of ways to keep your brain functioning well, I was reading an article about eating healthy.

It's been said time and time before eat healthy blah blah because it's good for your health...but there is proof now, although the experiment was done on lab rats...the test cannot be overlooked!

Rats was fed junk food vs healthy food.

The rats that was fed junk food forgot how to navigate a maze they had previously been able to with regular healthy food.  The rats that was on the regular food still remembered how to navigate the maze.

So all you folks probably want to lessen your junk food intake if you want to keep your cognitive functions.

AS far as the penny goes, yes it will kill, it's been to long since physic's and can't remember the formula anymore, I'm not going to look it up.  But it's not hard to figure out the speed.

I went through all 15k posts and those 2 quotes I found were the only ones so I guess that would make it "everytime".  Feel free to go through all 15k posts and verify by quoting them all.  You need to quote them all to verifying prove "everytime".   Please verify that Im wrong.

The penny from the Empire State Building:

In theory, it should travel faster than a bullet.  Emptying your pockets should make you a serial killer on top of the building.  I won't bore you with the equation.  Even if a penny was fired with a gun from the top of the building, it cannot kill anyone.  WHY? 

All objects have a terminal velocity.  The terminal velocity of a penny is about 65 mile/hour.  Try this: tape a penny from an over-pass bridge and drive 65MPH, stick your head out, WHAM,...That's all.

*With the internet, you can just google it, or watch it on Myth Buster(Season 3 episode 4).

Give two examples of "mob taw vwm".  There are numerous conditions that fits this vague Hmong term.  Name the top two (or more if you want).

We have a winner!

Gout and Diabetes are the most common cause for Hmong 'Taw vwm'.  Other causes include; cellulitis, infections (parasitic, fungal, and bacterial), puncture wound, etc...

Health Field huh?

I got a question, how does one stop an carotid bleed?  Right there on the neck?

I don't know that's why I'm asking.  I'm gonna have to google it myself!  REally all you can do is direct pressure?

Yup, just apply pressure to stop  the blood flow.  BUT then, no blood to the brain!!!  Not really...colla teral circulation from the other carotid is enough to keep you alive. Most likely the surgeon will anastamose the severed vessel.

*That's why sometimes after cutting the chicken's neck, and it is still able to run away.  Someone did not cut both the carotid!

my  guess:

strongest bone  (almost wrote boner, but deleted the r) is that one in your leg.  But then, that means there are two of them so maybe that's not the correct answer unless you consider them as one bone which would be incorrect on your part.  Hmm.. that means it would have to be the only bone that's one bone and not duplicated.  That's gonna be hard to guess..

Strongest muscle?  Heart because it keeps on working and working without a need to take a rest and works from the day it was created to the day you die.
