To put on compression stockings, first, ensure your feet and legs are clean and dry. Start by turning the stocking inside out up to the heel, then gently place your foot into the stocking and pull it up over your ankle.

If you were to take a lump of coal and squeeze for a long time at very high temperatures what would you end up with?

It is possible that you could end up with a diamond. But the temperatures and pressures involved would be extraordinarily great and unreproduceable in a unspecialised environment. Also, the diamond created will be much smaller than the lump of coal use to produce it.
