Oh yes and I also used the word mean when I meant median, which makes quite a difference!

What always bothered me about the use of a single numerical IQ, is that a real IQ test will give you several numbers. I suppose that you can average them out, or pick the higher number if you're feeling a bit egotistical that day, but that's hardly fair.

Off hand, I'd say that most here have never submitted to a 'real' IQ test. One-to-one testing with direct interaction with the tester.

The paper Mensa quizzes are cute, but hardly accurate.
 
Well the W.H.O caved and are now calling it the "H1N1 A Influenza strain
Linked article also contains some idiotic things some countries have done based solely on the name-reference...including the slaughter of millions of pigs. :rolleyes:

Egypt began slaughtering its roughly 300,000 pigs Wednesday even though experts said swine flu is not linked to pigs and not spread by eating pork. Angry farmers protested the government degree.

In Paris, the World Organization for Animal Health said Thursday “there is no evidence of infection in pigs, nor of humans acquiring infection directly from pigs.” Killing pigs “will not help to guard against public or animal health risks” presented by the virus and “is inappropriate,” the group said in a statement.



China, Russia, Ukraine and other nations have banned pork exports from Mexico and parts of the United States, blaming swine flu fears.



Most in the Muslim world consider pigs unclean animals and do not eat pork because of religious restrictions. The farmers in Egypt raise the pigs for consumption by the country’s Christian minority.

Which one?
1. Number Intelligence which Is the ability to add, subtract, multiply and divide. This ability is not the same as mathematical reasoning ability, because it involves only the four fundamental mathematical processes.

2. Word Fluency is the ability to write and speak with ease. This ability is not the same as verbal meaning because a person who knows very few words may be able to use them fluently, whereas a person who knows many words may be halting in his or her speech.

3. Verbal Meaning or Verbal Intelligence is the understanding of ideas in word form.


4. Memory is the ability to retain and revive impressions or to recall and recognize past experiences.


5. Reasoning is the ability to solve complex problems and profit from experience and plan new activities based on experience.


6. Spatial Perception is the ability to perceive size and spatial relationships correctly.


7. Perceptual Speed is the ability to identify stimulus objects quickly. In developing reading skills for example, it is necessary to identify entire words without carefully examining each letter in the word.

H1N1 is racest!
They will have to choose something else.

They need to not use flu either, it might make people apprehense more about flying.

Then there's the whole virus thing.
That discriminates and offends viruses....

No no, this is a misunderstood entity that doesn't co-exist well with some other species.

none for me, thanks
 
If you're normally the type of person to get the flu shot...get the H1N1 shot instead. If you choose not to get this shot and you get sick...have the common decency to stay away from work and other densely populated ares (theatres for one) so that you don't spread it around unnecessarily.

That is all.

We got our first school confirmed cases this past Monday. Another school than the one our kids go to, but it's just the beginning of the flu season. Estimates run from 25-35% of the population will get this varietal.
 
Swine flu vaccinations began Monday in Indiana, Illinois and Tennessee, and recipients of the H1N1 vaccination are being given CDC "vaccination record" tracking cards to help keep a record of who has received the swine flu vaccine. This news is causing concern among privacy advocates who are worried that the U.S. government could use these CDC swine flu vaccination cards to track down those who have not had the vaccine if the government decides to make the swine flu vaccine mandatory.

News about these swine flu vaccination cards was dropped in the middle of an AP story about the beginning of swine flu vaccinations in the United States. When this was discovered, many concerned citizens started asking questions about these swine flu vaccination cards.

Fortunately there is a little bit more information out there about them. The following is from the CDC's official website:

Recipients of the 2009 H1N1 vaccine will be provided with a hand-held card to serve as a record of vaccination and a source of information should a report to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) be needed. Vaccine recipients will be encouraged to bring the hand-held card at their next visit to their primary care provider so that vaccination information can be transcribed into the patient’s permanent medical record.

So there it is.

Health authorities are going to have a record of exactly who has received the swine flu vaccine.

But another disturbing aspect of the paragraph above is that it sounds like they are expecting adverse side effects

Why would that be?

Well, as we have documented in other articles there are a lot of reasons, but one certainly is that all of the early batches of the H1N1 swine flu vaccine are all of the nasal spray variety that contain live swine flu.

In case you missed that, we are going to say that last part again.

All of the early batches of the swine flu vaccine contain live swine flu.

The product is called FluMist, and you have probably already seen video on the news of it being injected into the nasal passages of people getting the swine flu vaccine.

According to Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, somewhere between 10 million and 100 million swine flu viral particles are forcefully injected into the nostrils when FluMist is administered to a patient.

Are you ready to have millions upon millions of swine flu virus particles injected into your nasal passages?

Don't you think that injecting live swine flu into the nasal passages of millions of Americans might just be a little dangerous?

Meanwhile, ABC's Dr. Oz has been out rabidly promoting the swine flu vaccine all over national television, but now he has revealed that he is NOT going to give it to his own kids.

It is this kind of blatant hypocrisy that is making people turn off the mainstream news. How can he recommend it to other people's kids and not inject his own kids with it?

As they say, actions speak louder than words.

Don't just make a blind decision about these vaccines. Do your own research on these vaccines and make the decision that is right for you and your family. These mainstream media idiots certainly are not going to shed a tear if something bad happens to you or your family.

As with all internet information, take as you will
 
Two differnt moshed arguments.
1) Paranoia - ZOMG - the GVT will have records of us all!!!! ZOMG!!! - pst..they already do through your SIN card. Chill.
1a) Adverse effects - like allergic reactions. A good thing to keep track of.
2) The H1N1a vaccine is a shot...not a nasal spray. This company uses the 'live virus' as their selling point...the inhaler bit?...it's less painful for the kids, ya see. The majority of vaccines are dead viruses used to illicit a response from the natural immune system.
 
Speaking of flu-related idiocy


69NN presents the worlds first Dynamic second by second updated Swine Flu Death Counter:

Swine Flu Deaths in India: 23.6.

Swine Flu Deaths in the World: 1563

GO INDIA GO.

The counter even displays number of people who are almost dead updated every second.
(Yes some people have a tendency to go to brink and not die :( )
 
Here's the real deal...how to tell that you've got the worst-case type of swine flu
In children emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

Fast breathing or trouble breathing
Bluish skin color
Not drinking enough fluids
Not waking up or not interacting
Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held
Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
Fever with a rash

In adults, emergency warning signs that need urgent medical attention include:

Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen
Sudden dizziness
Confusion
Severe or persistent vomiting

What is the best way to keep from spreading the virus through coughing or sneezing?
If you are sick, limit your contact with other people as much as possible. Do not go to work or school if ill. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick. Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a tissue. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.

What is the best technique for washing my hands to avoid getting the flu?
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Wash with soap and water. or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner. we recommend that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.

now wait a minute...
does one that has it have All the symptoms, or just one,
'cause right now I got a little "Confusion".:p
 
(was making a semi-funny, but do think we need accurate info)
I didn't see fever under the adult section.
Do the symptoms under the children section also apply alone with the others,
under the adult section?
