However, the longest word ever to appear in literature is about 171 letters long in Greek, but translates to 183 in English. It had appeared in a play by Aristophanes, Assemblywomen, published in 391 BC. The word is- Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon.
 
I have a two headed British penny. It does not have a year because of the two headed problem. Does anybody know why this would be stamped lik this? Is it a proof of some sort? Any information about such an item would be greatly appreciated.
I have a two headed Victoria bunhead halfpence, but it is actually two halfpennies that have been either sanded down or cut and then joined at together. It is only slightly over weight but you can faintly see the join mark around the edge. You do sometimes get genuine two headed or two tailed coins which happen as a minting error. I would weigh your coin or check round the outside to see if you can see any join marks.

Why Should You Take Statins at Night?​

Statins and cholesterol​

Statins are prescription medications that help to lower cholesterol. They specifically target low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. That’s the bad kind.
When you have too much LDL cholesterol, it can build up in the walls of your arteries. This can lead to decreased blood flow. High LDL cholesterol is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease.
Statins work in two ways:
  • They inhibit an enzyme that your body needs to produce cholesterol.
  • They may also help reduce plaque that has built up in your arteries. This plaque is made up of cholesterol.
As a result, statins can help lower your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.
 
Antiplatelet drugs prevent platelets from sticking together and decrease your body’s ability to form blood clots. These medications are used to treat, and may help prevent, heart attack and stroke. Aspirin is the most commonly used antiplatelet drug. The main risk associated with antiplatelet therapy is excessive bleeding.

The most commonly used antiplatelet is aspirin, but other kinds include:

  • Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitors (clopidogrel, ticagrelor, ticlopidine, prasugrel) make platelets less sticky.
  • Adenosine reuptake inhibitors (dipyridamole) block enzymes involved in clotting.
  • Glycoprotein platelet inhibitors (abciximab, eptifibatide, tirofiban) block substances that help clots stick together.
  • Phosphodiesterase inhibitors (cilostazol) widen blood vessels and stop platelets from sticking together.
  • Protease-activated receptor (PAR-1) antagonist (vorapaxar) blocks a substance on platelets that helps them clot.

Did you know that on average, one in five adults suffer from chronic pain. In older people, the number rises to three in five. Most of these people don't realise they don't have to settle for a survival-based coexistence with their partner or bury their hopes for success and joy under a mountain of heat packs or duvets.
 


Tally Money.
We are not talking about the tally sticks that King Henry I issued as England’s legal tender nine centuries ago. We’re talking about gold in an easily useable as day-to-day money.

[ Gives some warnings which are usually hidden about holding gold , silver or any other commodities on credit or debit cards.]

The English term slave derives from the ethnonym Slav. In medieval wars many Slavs were captured and enslaved, which led to the word slav becoming synonym to "enslaved person".
