​​How Do Foldable Smartphone Screens Work? Foldable smartphone screens are a new and innovative technology that allows for an extended screen size without sacrificing the portability of a smaller phone. They allow for a larger screen than any traditional phone while folding up into a more compact form. The idea of a foldable screen is hard to believe because smartphone screens are typically made of multiple layers of mostly inflexible glass. However, foldable screens are now possible because of a not-so-new technology, often referred to as Flexible Display technology, built around Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) screens. OLED screens are made of organic materials that emit light when electricity is passed through them. They do not require backlights to function, and as a result, can be made thin enough to the point where they become flexible, forming the basis of flexible screens. Flexible OLED displays have been around for a while. Older flagship phones like the iPhone X and the Samsung Galaxy Edge series have flexible displays, but the technology was only used to give the devices curved edges. Now, flexible display technology has improved beyond allowing screens have just curved edges into making screens that can actually be folded.

​​What Is the Difference Between Good and Bad Cholesterol? Cholesterol, a waxy substance that builds in the arteries is not completely harmful, despite its reputation for being bad for you. In fact, some of it can even improve your health when consumed in the right amounts. There are two types: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). As a general rule, HDL is considered “good” cholesterol, while LDL is considered “bad.” This is because HDL carries cholesterol to your liver, where it can be removed from your bloodstream before it builds up in your arteries. LDL, on the other hand, takes cholesterol directly to your arteries. This can result in atherosclerosis, a plaque buildup that can even cause heart attack and stroke. Triglycerides make up the third component of cholesterol and act as unused calories that are stored as fat in the blood. Eating more calories than you burn can cause triglycerides to build up in the bloodstream, increasing your risk for heart attacks. An LDL count of 100 or less is considered healthy. Your HDL count should be at least 40 (or 50 if you’re female) or greater. Healthy triglyceride counts are 150 or less. Your “numbers,” or total HDL and LDL cholesterol plus triglycerides, should add up to no more than 200. If your numbers are higher than 200, check with your physician, you may have a higher HDL count, which is not unhealthy. Maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol is manageable. Medication is key, along with eating a healthy diet with lots of vegetables and getting regular exercise.
