Deadly bacteria in hot tubs at the Playboy Mansion



County health inspectors in Los Angeles confirmed that the potentially fatal bacteria detected at the Playboy Mansion was in the water of hot tubs. This could have been the cause of massive disease 170 guests who attended a party in February.
At first it was believed that the mass infection was due to a machine to create fog, placed near the pool, which was used during the party at the Playboy Mansion.

But after analyzing water samples in a laboratory in the county, health officials concluded that the bacterium Legionella, which causes a type of pneumonia known as Legionnaire's Disease, was the culprit.

And just so far able to determine that this dangerous bacteria was properly installed in the dozens of hot tubs that are in all the Playboy Mansion.

In the Tudor-style mansion of Hugh Hefner, located in the hills of Beverly Hills, was held on 3 February a fundraiser such as closure of the annual conference DOMAINfest Global. A party attended by hundreds of people who came from 30 countries.

Hefner, concerned about the bacteria because they home in June

One day after the event, dozens of guests reported having symptoms that included high fever, breathing problems and severe headaches. Most had symptoms of pneumonia, and three of them tested positive for the H1N1 flu tests.

Overall, health officials reported 170 cases of sick guests, all with similar symptoms.

Now, it is good time for the infamous Playboy Mansion copper since it Hugh Hefner, 84, owner of the Playboy empire, said that in June will marry the bunny Crystal Harris, 24, in the very mansion , at a party that will bring together more than 1,000 guests.

"This is the year of the rabbit in the Chinese calendar, so the party will have more bunnies than ever," Hefner joked.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, for its acronym in English), suggest that healthy people recover quickly from the type of pneumonia called Legionnaires' disease through treatment with antibiotics.

However, if you have preexisting health conditions can cause death. Between 8,000 and 18,000 people need to be hospitalized each year in the country infected with this bacteria.

Explains the Medical Center of the University of Maryland, is an acute respiratory infection caused by the bacterium Legionella.

This bacterium usually occurs in water supply systems and can survive in hot, humid and air conditioning large buildings such as hospitals ... or mansions.

Has not demonstrated that there is the spread of bacteria from one person to another.

Although the disease has been reported in children, most infections occur in middle age or elderly.

The disease took its name when a particular group of people attending a convention in Philadelphia in 1976 were infected with the bacteria.

Is Catherine Zeta-Jones crazy?

Tips for maintaining the air conditioning in your car



Before starting it is necessary to clarify that the maintenance of your air conditioning needs to be done by an expert as the operating system is complex and consists of several components that require some skill such as a condenser, a compressor, refrigerant gases among other things. The tips below will give you is to give better care and help to prolong life:
Depending on the application, so there is no universal rule, if the air conditioning is not working properly, that is not cool as it should, chances are that the thermostat is not working so I have to replace it.
After a day-long use in some occasions you will notice that the air conditioning on the floor can leave watermarks. Do not worry this is normal since due to vapor condensation is formed and it falls to the ground by a previously designated tube.
When starting your car for the first time in the day remember to take off the air conditioning. If you do the lighting system when you need more power which will affect battery life by decreasing their time.
If you're driving and want to use the air conditioner, do it always with the windows closed because if you do not consume more gasoline. Also never use to its full potential unless the outside temperature exceeds 40 ° C.
If you are not a regular user of the air conditioning is always recommended that you try at least once a year in order to check if proper cooling and avoid damaging other parts of it such as the compressor.
Performs preventive maintenance that the manufacturer tells you the user manual in order to maintain the warranty and have no surprises when you need to use air conditioning.
If you get to replace the coolant in your air conditioner uses the so-called R-134 is regulated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in USA and is used by automakers as it does not harm the ozone layer.

Newborns can learn fast!



A new European research reveals that infants are able to identify as early as four months, some foreign language grammar rules. The study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, greatly improves the understanding of language learning in infants.

Children pick up languages ​​at a speed and apparent ease with which a jaw-dropping both their parents and researchers. Studies with infants suggest that even infants are able to differentiate the various phonemes of the syllables. In addition, babies born to very young children seem able to recognize relationships between adjacent syllables tend to occur together.

However, often there are elements that are often linked grammatically but do not appear together in a phrase, for example, in the phrase "is singing", the word "is" is separated from the ending "-ing" the root "to sing ".

"Learning these nonadjacent dependencies is much more difficult than learning to adjacent units," write the researchers.

In fact, previous studies indicated the possibility that children do not understand this kind of rules until the age of 17 or 18 months.

"It seemed too late," said Professor Angela Friederici, Director, Department of Neuropsychology at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Germany.

ITALIAN AND GERMAN

In this study, Professor Friederici and colleagues sought to determine whether infants of four months could identify these units are not adjacent.

Chose the age of four months because studies suggest that babies of that age already had some phonological discrimination abilities and some degree of verbal memory.

The researchers began teaching German babies four months some basics of Italian.

In just over three minutes, the infants heard sentences in Italian containing two simple constructions. One type of sentence construction including "sta X-ing" '(as is X-ing "), an example of such a sentence is" [il fratello] his singing, "which means" [the brother] is singing ".

The second type of sentence construction including "può X-are" '(such as "may X"), in this case, we can mention the example "[The sorella] può cantare" which means "[the sister] can sing" .

After listening to Italian phrases of this kind, properly trained for three minutes, the children underwent a brief trial, during which he listened to both correct and incorrect sentences. Incorrect phrases mixed constructions, forming phrases like "the singing può sorella" ("The sister can sing") or "il fratello sta sing" ("the brother is singing").

In total, the children went through four phases of learning during which they heard a total of 256 correct sentences, the total learning time was just over 13 minutes.

During the experiment, we measured the brain activity of babies. In the early stages of testing, only perceived differences in the pattern of activity recorded when the babies heard Italian phrases wrong.

However, in the fourth phase of testing, there were different patterns of activity indicating that the children had learned that "sta" should go with "-ing" and "può" with "-are."

"Current data show that children of four months can identify dependencies between adjacent elements in sentences after a brief exposure to a native language is not natural," the researchers conclude.

"The emergence of sensitivity to the grammatical regularities indicates that children identified dependencies between the two pairs of adjacent elements (ie, auxiliary verbs and verb suffixes for) the correct sentences they had heard during the training phase ".

"Clearly, the children of this age do not detect errors related to the content," says Professor Friederici. "Long before they understand the meaning, and generalize regularities babies recognize the sound of language."

According to investigators, the patterns of brain activity of German babies four months when exposed to errors were more like the masters of Italian-speaking adults. Native German speakers who were studying Italian as a second language did not respond the same way.

According to the researchers, this "suggests that learning can natively limited to certain.

Happy Birthday Charles Chaplin!


One of my favorites funny actors was and is Charles Chaplin, I always laugh or lol when I see hes movies, I think I will never get tired of watching him getting in trouble :)

The most dangerous golf course there is


If you are someone who thinks golf is a sport too boring, then you should go to Australia, particularly at Carbrook Golf Club in Queensland. In this area the water trap is real sharks. No joke. Here's the proof. Sharks were a myth for years, but as you can see in the video are real, there are up to ten feet long and it seems they reached the field after a flood in the 90's.

The sharks are fed to chickens, which is good because at least they do not develop an appetite for meat player.

So it is proved that a golf course things can go worse than what happened to Rory McIlroy last weekend. Personally I like golf but not where there are sharks:)
