In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Most spiders like to hide in dark places, and yard debris provides the perfect hiding spot for any arachnid wanting to set up camp in your yard.  Remove piles of dead leaves, grass clippings, piles of wood, boxes, tires, plywood, and empty containers from the yard. It is especially essential that you remove debris from around the perimeter of your home's foundation in order to keep spiders out of your house. If you want to keep spiders away from your yard as much as possible, though, you should remove these items from your yard altogether. If debris is not available, the next place spiders will look will be shrubs, tall grass, and tall weeds. Trimming your weeds and cutting your grass short will reduce the number of spiders in your yard by creating a less appealing habitat. You do not need to get rid of your shrubs and bushes completely, but you should at least avoid planting them next to the foundation of your house to limit the number of spiders wandering inside. Boxes and bags of items stored in outdoor sheds and garages are some other appealing spots for spiders. Reducing the number of items you store outdoors will also reduce the number of spiders you spot.  If you do plan to store something outside, put it into a sealed plastic container instead of a cardboard box. Sealed containers prevent most spiders from squeezing inside, so you will have fewer unpleasant surprises to deal with when you open the container later on. Check boxes stored outdoors before you bring them into the house. When you see a spider web on the side of a building or somewhere in your yard, physically remove the web to discourage the spider that built it from returning.  In most instances, you will need to remove the web with a broom, mop, or garden hose. If you are near enough to an electrical outlet, you can also use a vacuum to remove webs and egg sacs you spot outside. While outdoor lighting has nothing to do with spiders directly, outdoor lights will attract many insects, and the increased number of insects will also lead to a spike in your spider population.  Use your outdoor lights as little as possible. Direct the lights away from your house to draw the insects and spiders further away from your foundation. Switch to yellow bulbs. The softer light is less appealing to insects and may not draw as many as a bright white light does.
Summary: Remove debris from your yard. Keep tall grass and weeds out of your yard. Limit your outdoor storage. Remove webs when you spot them. Avoid using outdoor lighting.

If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, you should let your physician know how you have changed your diet to improve blood sugar control, lose weight, and reverse prediabetes. Get regular checkups, every three to six months, including blood and urine tests as advised by your physician. Keep track of your labs so you can see how well you are doing and celebrate your progress. Certain factors make people more at risk for prediabetes. People at risk for prediabetes are:  People who are overweight or obese. People who exercise infrequently. People who are older than 45 years old. People with a family history of diabetes. Women with a history of gestational diabetes. African Americans, Mexican Americans, American Indians, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders and Asian Americans Often, there are no symptoms of prediabetes. If you see a physician regularly and have your blood tested, your physician may notice that your blood sugars tend to be on the high side, but not high enough to diagnose T2D. You may display symptoms of diabetes or have diabetes related problems with prediabetes.  Fasting blood sugar levels between 100 to 125 mg/dL are suggestive of prediabetes. Your doctor may also measure Hemoglobin A1C to test for prediabetes. This is a three-month average of blood sugar levels. Normal is under 5.7. A diagnosis of diabetes mellitus is made if two consecutive A1C tests are over 6.5. Patients with A1C between 5.7 and 6.5 have prediabetes. One early sign that is a risk for T2D and that may signal prediabetes is a skin condition known as acanthosis nigricans. In acanthosis nigrican, the skin around the neck, armpits, elbows, knees, and knuckles get darker. You may also experience increased hunger, thirst, fatigue, weight gain, or increased urination. Just because you have prediabetes does not mean you will have type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can be reversed by losing weight. You can also reverse the effect by changing the way you eat and exercise. It is believed that almost all type 2 diabetes could be prevented with diet and nutrition.

Problem: Article: Arrange a small cup or dish for each color of acrylic paint. Use an eyedropper or paintbrush to transfer a drop of paint to the liquid starch (or a small, separate test dish of starch left until still). Most brands and colors will sink, in which case you should add marbling gall to that container of paint. Vegetable oil is a cheap substitute, but may leave your paper a little greasy. Stir in one drop at a time, testing in between, until a drop of paint float on the surface and spreads out slowly. Stir in more if the drop rapidly spreads to more than 3 inches (7.5 cm).  Old-fashioned ox gall will not work with acrylic paints. Use a detergent-based marbling gall that does not contain animal products. This is also sold as surfactant or dispersant. Test each color separately, and test before each marbling session. Changes in temperature and humidity can change the amount of gall required.
Summary:
Mix your paint with gall or oil.
