Cholesterol Statin thoughts
This was sent into me and it appears useful. It is a refresher on the complexities of statins and high and low cholesterol. As a statin user, i am rather familiar with the issues. All aspects of this therapy can be deemed controversial except it seems to suppress disease progress. Yet it is hardly dramatic either. what suppresses disease progress is high doses of vitimin C. I use low doses because i do not tolerate higher doses. Yet is appears generally stable and my risk is minimal. *
LDL is better called bad cholesterol. High amounts of HDL c...

New to Vinyl Records? Here’s What You Need to Know
Again it is the unique nature of vinyl records as analog sound recordings, rather than digital based recording that gives it a unique litening experience. Digital ultimately can get too cleaned up. THe cost of playing your collection comes down to a simple turntable and that means no special hardware as we used to tolerate back in the day. Vinyl is now rebuilding its market and surely we are getting new pressings from the old masters of especially popular discs. All this makes it easier and easier to distribute product. We certainly retain ample content, although i do not e... read more

Offshore green hydrogen production: the partnership between Lhyfe and Centrale Nantes on track for a world first.
THe problem i have with all this is that money is driving the ultimate intent. The goal is easy to describe as green hydrogen. we knew how using all the apparent technology in view around 150 years ago. Thus money is in fact able to hire engineeres to build what you see. The reasons why this has not happened during the past 150 years is that the systems are inefficient and tech improvements will likely take for ever if ever. Yet today we will have a massive build producing some hydrogen likely unsalable or even unusable while generating heavy expenses. In twenty years it w... read more

How the Soviet Union 'Defeated' the Best Navy Submarine Ever*Kyle Mizokami* *Submarines, * The Seawolf-class submarines were envisioned as the best submarines ever built. But when the USSR died, so did the need for this expensive weapon of war. No Soviets, no Seawolf. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *The Seawolf-class submarines are outstanding submarines, but the Cold War mindset at the time of development accepted high performance and consequently high costs to meet a high-level threat.
