The only way to upload multiple pictures or videos at once is to snap and add them when your device is offline. The simplest way to keep your phone from connecting to the internet is to turn on airplane mode: iOS: Swipe up from the bottom of the home screen and tap the airplane icon. Android: Swipe down on the home screen to open your notifications, and then again to open the Quick Settings panel. Finally, tap the airplane icon. Opening Snapchat will automatically bring you to the camera. Tap the circle at the bottom center of the screen to take the picture, or hold it down to record a video. You can add stickers, text, drawings, or filters to your snap if you wish. This will add your snap to the storyalthough since you're in airplane mode, the picture or video won't upload just yet. It will, however, be queued and ready for when you get back online. Here's how to add the snap: Tap the "Add" icon, which looks like a square with a plus sign on its upper right corner. If you see a message that begins with "Adding a Snap to your Story allows your friends to view your snap" tap "Okay." Snapchat will redirect you to the Stories page, where you'll see a warning message that says "No internet connection." Tap the circle at the bottom of the Stories page to return to the camera and then take your next picture (or record your next video). As you did with the last snap, tap the Add (+) icon to add your new snap to the story. It will then be queued for upload right after the previous snap. Take your time perfecting each snapyour followers will get to view your story all at once instead of having to wait for you to snap the next part. Once you get back online, it'll be easy to post them all (quickly) in order.

Summary: Turn on Airplane Mode. Launch the Snapchat app. Take a new picture or video snap. Tap the Add icon (+). Take another snap. Add the new snap to your story. Continue adding new snaps to the story.

Look for a synthetic fiber that will allow your skin to breathe by wicking--drawing the sweat away from your body. This will help keep your body cool while you exercise. Polyester, Lycra and spandex work well. Look for clothing that is made from polypropylene. Some lines of workout clothing will contain COOLMAX or SUPPLEX fibers, which can help you manage your body temperature. Wear cotton if you do not anticipate sweating a lot. Cotton is a soft, comfortable fiber that works well for light workouts, such as walking or stretching. When cotton becomes sweaty, it can feel heavy and cling to your body, so it would not work well for more intense or aerobic activities. Reputable brand clothes such as Nike Dri-Fit are generally of a higher quality than a generic brand.

Summary: Choose a fabric that provides wicking. Choose good brand clothes with specific workout technology (not just a generic polyester).

Dried flowers, flower petals, and herbs can add texture, fragrance, and natural beauty to your bath salts. Add a few sprigs or up to c (25 g) of dried botanicals to your batch of bath salts and mix them in gently. Be sure to only use flowers and leaves that are safe for the skin. Stick with edible botanicals and make sure you or your recipient don't have allergies to the plants you're using. Keep in mind that the dried botanicals will re-saturate and float around in your bath. Try either dried lavendar and dried rosemary which are known for their soothing, stress-relieving properties. For a luxurious and mood-boosting bath, include dried rose petals. Sprinkle dried mint leaves into your bath salts for a bath that will leave you alert and energized.

Summary: Stir dried botanicals into your salt mixture for additional color and texture.

There are several resources available to help you prepare for both certification exams. The NCBDE certification exam handbook has an appendix with an extensive list of resources. The AADE handbook also offers a list of useful resources in its appendix. Appendix 3 in the NCBDE handbook offers a content outline. The content outline describes broadly what the diabetes education test will cover. Examine this content outline closely. Seek assistance from a mentor or consult diabetes education literature to answer questions you might have about the material. Appendix 5 in the NCBDE handbook offers a list of suggested references. Look over these references, taking notes as necessary, to sharpen your knowledge of specific content areas. Focus on areas that you are less familiar with in order to remedy any gaps in your understanding. For a $55 fee, you can take a practice NCBDE examination through Psi/Amp. A practice AADE test is available online for $95. A test tutorial to help you familiarize yourself with the computerized testing system is also available online. Visit the test center at the time and date you selected. Arrive early so that you have plenty of time to find a seat and settle in. The NCBDE test consists of 200 multiple-choice questions. You'll have four hours to complete the exam. The AADE test consists of 175 multiple-choice questions administered over three-and-a-half hours. Bring at least two types of valid, government-issued photo ID. You might bring a passport, driver's license, military identification card, or state identification card with photo. You should also bring a printout confirming your test site, date, and other relevant information. Do not bring your phone, hat, electronics, or other personal items into the test center with you. The AADE exam results are mailed six to eight weeks after taking the exam. NCBDE scores are reported in two ways: raw scores and scaled scores. The NCBDE exam's raw scores will give you your score as a percentage of the total number of questions you got correct out of 200. For instance, you might get a raw score of 150/200. Scaled scores are reported as a percentage of correct questions on a scale of 0 to 99. You must score at least a 70 on this scale in order to pass the exam. Using the above example 150/200 you would earn a 75, giving you a passing grade. You must recertify your NCBDE and/or AADE credentials every five years. Recertification for the NCBDE requires that you accrue at least another 1,000 hours of DSME and that you hold the same position in the same medical field that you held when you obtained certification originally. If you cannot meet the 1,000-hour practice requirement but wish to maintain your certification, you can substitute the practice requirement for 75 clock hours of continuing education. When your certification is close to expiration, the NCBDE, and/or AADE will send you a reminder notification along with directions outlining how to renew your certification. Renewal costs $250 for NCBDE certification and $500 for the AADE certification (or $800 if you are not an AADE member). With your new credentials, you'll have a legitimate claim to expertise in the field of DSME. With your certification, you should be eligible for a pay raise. Broach the subject discretely with your employer. You might ask, for instance, what kind of financial benefits you're eligible for as a certified diabetes educator. Many medical professionals find that they are more confident, respected, and financially secure as a result of earning their certification.
Summary: Prepare for the test. Take the test. Review your scores. Renew your certification. Use your certification.
