Your cholesterol level will appear as 3 numbers: your high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides. If you do have a history of heart disease, your doctor will recommend that you get your cholesterol checked more frequently. To screen your cholesterol, you’ll need to get a blood sample that’s analyzed in a lab. Less than 100 md/dL: optimum 100 to 129 md/dL: fairly good 130 to 159 md/dL: borderline high 160 to 189 md/dL: high 190+ md/dL: very high...

Brushing and smoothing your hair before you put it into the ponytail will give your bun a sleek look. For a high bun, tie a loose ponytail at the crown of your head. It’s okay if some pieces of hair pop out while you continue the braid. Keep your fingers poking through; they are going to grab onto your braid. The sides of your hair should be twisted since the braid was pulled through the hole....

Complete the look by carrying around a log or piece of wood so you can pretend to gnaw on it. If someone asks you what your costume is, try saying something like, “How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?” People love a good play on words and you’re sure to get a good laugh. Add to your look with a headband and long socks. Make people guess what you are before you tell them if they ask to make it more fun....

Improper measurements will have a big effect on your cone’s result. It’s a good idea to put extra effort into making the circle as round as possible. For your disk shape, you can also use a compass, or trace a round object, such as a lid or container. Use a compass protractor to pinpoint the centre of your disc if you’re unsure where to place your dot. If you’re using a protractor tool to outline the disc to begin with, it can save you time to make the centre dot before you trace the disc around it....

The structure of an academic presentation should follow roughly the same structure as an academic paper, first introducing your main point, supporting it with evidence, and then a short conclusion. For business presentations, Guy Kawasaki (a notable business adviser and marketing guru) suggests this standard presentation structure[1] X Research source : The Problem Your solution Business model Underlying magic/technology Marketing and sales Competition Team Projections and milestones Status and timeline Summary and call to action...

For the quick and simple messy bun up-do, you will need about 5 minutes, your fingers, and a rubber-band. If you have more time, gather a soft brush, wide-tooth comb and an elastic ponytail holder. Preferably an elastic holder without a metal clasp to reduce the chance of hair damage. For the most natural look, choose a hair spray with a micro-fine mist for minimal build up that you can apply and reapply without washing your hair....

Note that if you use a pork shoulder cut of meat, the muscle bundle you are trying to obtain is the portion that would like just to the side of the shoulder blade. If using pork butt, opt for Berkshire rather than Heritage since the latter has more fat and less muscle fiber content. If you cannot find Berkshire, however, commodity pork will also work. You can save the trimmings to make sausage, if desired, or you could discard them....

Choose items based on the ages of the kids. For example, if you’re watching an infant, you’ll want stuffed animals instead of toys with tiny parts that they could choke on. A basic first-aid kit should include adhesive bandages, hand sanitizer, medical tape, wet wipes, and gloves. [1] X Research source There are babysitting apps that let parents pay you via their phone so you don’t have to carry a wad of cash home....

The element name is the word associated with the element. It usually appears in small letters under the symbol. Silver, for example, is the name of an element. The symbol is formed by one or two letters that represent the element. These are the big letters in the box. Ag is the symbol for silver. The atomic number is the number above the symbol. It tells you how many protons the element has....

To prepare the master part, first wipe down or wash the item. Once clean and dry, apply a release agent to the original item—this will ensure that the master part will pop free from the mold. Coat the item with a layer of bubble buster—this product prevents the formation of air bubbles around the master part. Place the master item into a heat safe container. The container must be slightly larger than the item....

Clear gel stampers are increasingly popular because they let you look straight down through the cylinder and see where you’re stamping on your fingernail! New stamper heads usually have an oily residue on them due to the manufacturing process. If you don’t clean off this residue, your stamps won’t transfer to your nails properly. Do not clean clear gel stamper heads with pure acetone. The clear gel will get cloudy and start to break down....

If you have stitches and the gum covers the extraction site completely, then you can start brushing your teeth gently after 12 hours. Just make sure that you avoid the extraction area. Rinse your mouth gently, without too much pressure, with saltwater every two hours and after every meal. [2] X Expert Source Alina Lane, DDSBoard Certified Dentist Expert Interview. 21 April 2020.

The next time you think you might be being manipulated, stop and ask yourself, “Am I doing this because I want to or because I feel guilty, ashamed, embarrassed, afraid, obligated, responsible etc. ?” If you are doing something for one of the latter reasons, then it is possible that you are being manipulated. Many people are motivated by this kind of manipulation at work (working late because they fear they won’t get their next promotion if they don’t), but it can be more damaging in personal relationships between people because these interactions involve more intimate emotions....

Automatic updates will keep your computer secure and won’t bug you with update reminders. Even if a hacker does have embarrassing videos of you, paying the ransom probably would not stop them from releasing the video....

Continue doing this until the skin has softened up and relaxed a little. Even if this doesn’t remove the callus or corn completely, it will certainly make it more comfortable. This is a great reason to take a break and crack open a good book. You can also do this in front of the TV and catch up on your favorite show. Don’t do this if the skin is punctured or you’re recovering from a wound—you’re better off letting the skin heal first before doing this....

For a deeper treatment consider using a sponge and only the tip of the cloth. [2] X Research source If the paste does not thicken, add another spoonful of baking soda until you get your desired consistency. For lighter stains a paste may not be necessary. Adding 2 spoonfuls of baking soda to a small cup of warm water and applying with a clean rag, will do the trick. [7] X Research source...

Rinse the baking soda/lemon juice mixture from the clothing with warm water. Allow the garment to soak for at least an hour, maybe more if the stain is very stubborn. Rinse the clothing with warm water after soaking. Treat the stain with dishwashing liquid once more, then wash as normal. Use a detergent that is formulated to remove stains. If the stain still remains, repeat the process. Use a liquid detergent if possible....

Do your best not to sand too much of the surrounding leather. A sanding block, rather than sand paper, will give you more control over the area. Otherwise, choose another piece of leather with a similar texture and dye it to match your upholstery. Test the product in an inconspicuous spot before applying it to the rest of the seat. Adjust the color with the provided toner or exchange it for a better match, if necessary....

Use a pencil that you don’t really need. Another student or staff member might find your locker rigged and take the pencil.
