Mystery surrounding car Apple founder Steve Jobs finally solved. There are plausible reasons why Jobs did not intentionally put the number of police in his luxury car.
As reported by autoevolution, Saturday (29/10/2011), there are two rumors about police numbers Mercedes-Benz SL 55 AMG belongs to Jobs.
First, Jobs paid a fine on a regular basis to the California police because the police did not put up numbers in his car. Secondly, Jobs has special permission to not install the license plate. Both rumors were apparently not true.
Is Jon Callas, CTO of Entrust and who are former Apple employees who disclose the reason Jobs did not put a number of police in the silver-colored car.
In an interview with ITWire, Callas revealed that Jobs used to replace the car every 6 months. California law requires that there is not a car has a license plate on a new car within 6 months.
Thus, the eccentric nature of Jobs does look, as how he kept changing his car every 6 months.
With his wealth, Jobs would be flipping car brands every 6 months. Just an interesting, why should always Mercy SL 55 AMG? If it will be sold now, it might be worth a fortune

During this heart disease is identical with men and rarely experienced by women. Now the researchers managed to find reasons that make women more immune to heart disease. What is it?
Researchers from Queen Mary, University of London revealed that the sex hormone estrogen helps protect women from heart disease by keeping the immune system.
Sex hormone estrogen in women will be working in white blood cells to prevent the plaques attached to the blood vessels, thus avoiding a dangerous blockage.
This new study shows that women have a protein annexin-A1 higher on the surface of white blood cells. These proteins are highly related and estrogen levels throughout the menstrual cycle.
Estrogen helps move the annexin-A1 from the surface into the white blood cells, thus preventing plaque attached to the walls of blood vessels that can cause damage to the vascular (blood vessel).
"From the beginning we already know that estrogen can protect pre-menopausal women from heart disease, and these results memjadi protection clue how it happened," said Dr. Suchita Nadkarni of the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary, University of London, as quoted from ScienceDaily , Saturday (09/10/2011).
Estrogen helps maintain a balance between protecting against infection and arteries from damage that leads to cardiovascular disease. The results of this study help explain why cardiovascular disease is higher in males than in females.
"In addition, understanding how the body against heart disease naturally be very important to develop new treatments," said Dr. Nadkarni.
Even so every woman still have to maintain healthy lifestyles, because when she entered menopause the risk of heart disease with men sudha due to declining estrogen levels in the body.

Is it true that AC makes people easy Colds?

When in a cold room and air-conditioning is usually a person's frequent colds. Then is it true the news that AC can make a person more susceptible to colds?
Some people believe that the decrease in temperature that occur suddenly can affect a person's immune system, making people more susceptible to illnesses such as colds.
"Colds and other respiratory diseases are always associated with cold air. But the cold air is not the cause, but a virus," said Dr. Ujwala Kaza, an allergist immunologist from New York University Langone Medical Center, as quoted by the NYTimes, Thursday (28 / 7 / 2011).
Yet researchers from Cardiff University in Wales said there may be a contribution from the AC against respiratory tract infections. This is because the AC extract moisture from the air which can dry out the protective mucus that lines the nose, thus providing an opportunity for a virus or bacteria to multiply in the nose.
In addition to the AC are not cleaned regularly can also be a cause, because the AC will be a gathering place for microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses or fungi that can later be released into the air.
Studies conducted in 2004 of 920 women found that people who work in offices with central air conditioning has a higher level to not miss work due to illness and doctor visits to ENT (ear nose throat) are more frequent.
While the 1998 study conducted on 800 office workers also found more disease symptoms appear in workers who have offices air-conditioned compared with workers in naturally ventilated offices.
While cold symptoms appear such as runny nose and watery eyes are one of the body's response to cold air. This response is useful to help prevent dryness of the mouth and nose lining.

Always Prevent Flu by pocketing Pen

The flu virus is very contagious, especially when the weather is uncertain because the immune system tends to weaken. Many ways to prevent transmission of flu, one of them by making sure there is always a pen in your pocket or in the bag.
At first glance sounds preposterous and somewhat difficult to imagine that a pen would be able to reduce the risk of transmission of influenza. Objects seremeh pen that costs do not how it usually is available everywhere, then why bother to bring your own?
But just imagine if it did not bring a pen, then all writing activities should be done with common pen. Writing orders to eat in a restaurant menu, receipt signature use of credit cards, up to fill in the attendance at the wedding, all wearing pens public property.
Within a day, generally pens are available in restaurants or supermarkets would have been used by dozens or possibly hundreds of people. If there are few that are flu and sneezes and droplets or patches of phlegm stuck in the pen, then the risk of transmission will be very large.
Always carry a personal pen would not be difficult to do, because these objects can be inserted in a pocket or small purse tenteng though. But from these simple steps sanat, the risk of contracting the flu can be prevented or at least be reduced.
"In flu season, the pen is very likely become a medium of transmission of the virus. By bringing your own pen, the risk of contracting will be reduced very significantly," said Prof. Neil Schachter, lung specialist at Mount Sinai School of Medicine as quoted from Liverightlivewell, Sunday (9 / 10 / 2011).
Prof. Schachter said, he always advised his patients to bring their own pens since inspired his father who is a doctor. When I was practicing in the era of the 1940s, his father never wanted to use public pens so rarely get the flu.
Besides advised to bring their own pens, Prof. Schachter also recommends diligent hand washing. After touching objects that hold a lot of people, such as door handles and elevator buttons, the hands should be washed with soap.
