Examples of HANDS in a Sentence

1. Amesh Adalja:

   Some of the resource-poor countries where these diseases are endemic sometimes have a clearer path to getting these tests in people's hands than in the United States, where there's so much regulation and it's so hard to do a point-of-care test, i do think there's an advantage to having these tests in endemic countries so that people can get diagnoses quickly.

2. Simon Hanson:

   Drummers can have the effect of two bass drums by having a pedal which is double where you only have one and the mechanism will play as if it's a double bass drum. It's similar to that in a way, i think because the drummer's not directly controlling it from his brain - although it looks like might be able to do that in the future, which has its own complications - it would for me be an add-on to a kit so I could trigger a sample or a different instrument. The basic drum kit is great. Two hands are okay and when I'm producing and there's other drummers playing I get them to play with one hand because I think drums with one hand sounds better in many ways.

3. African Proverb:

   Indecision is like a stepchild: if he does not wash his hands, he is called dirty, if he does, he is wasting water.

4. Arabic Proverb:

   A friend is one to whom one can pour out all the contents of one's heart, chaff and grain together, knowing that the gentlest of hands will take and sift it, keeping what is worth keeping, and, with the breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

5. Domantas Sabonis:

   We were trying to get the ball out of his hands, i feel like he didn't know how much time was left. He looked up and just shot that shot. Sometimes that shot goes in, sometimes it doesn't.
