Elwood Alfred Towner (1897-1954), famously known as 'Chief Red Cloud', was a native American supporter of Adolf Hitler and Nazism. He was also a staunch fighter for Native American rights and an ally of the German American Bund during the 1930s/40s.

Is fire an electrical conductor?

A flame arises from a gaseous substance with hydrogen content, and therefore conducts electricity.

As the temperature rises further, the gas changes to another aggregate state - plasma. Plasma consists of charged particles and conducts electricity magnificently. So the flame conducts current, and the higher the temperature of the flame, the better.

The veins in the lower extremities have one amazing feature

Do you see these little moving things?
These are valves inside the vessel — you cannot find these in arteries or in veins elsewhere.

They are located in the lower extremities in order to prevent the backflow of blood under the force of gravity. In this, the valves are helped by the muscles as they push the blood up when contracting ☝🏻

Moreover, the method that managed to capture these "things" is called ultrasound (USG).
