INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Small coins, such as pennies and dimes, are not recommended.  To get the hang of making a coin ring, it is recommended to practice with smaller coins, such as nickels, dimes, or pennies. Quarters and half-dollar coins are the most recommended coins due to their size. Be sure to find a coin that is made with 90% silver. Usually, these coins were made prior to 1965. Be sure to work in a space where you can use tools, such as a drill, as they can be loud and messy.  A silver coin A hammer A ring-sizing mandrel (This is a rod that is wider at one end and tapers down to a smaller point. It is used to size rings.) A drill and drill bit Calipers (Similar to a ruler, this is a measuring stick that has moveable arms. The arms are used to measure something, so you expand or narrow them to whatever the object is.) A blow torch (A blow torch is a canister with a long, thin nozzle coming out of the top of it. When it is turned on, a bright blue, very hot flame comes out of the nozzle.) A couple of scrap pieces of wood Metal tongs Protective gloves and goggles If you have a standing drill press, you can center the coin below the drill bit.  Then, put a second piece of scrap wood carefully on top of the ring. Secure it down with vise grips. Do not move the drill bit from its centered position above the coin. Push the drill all the way down through the secured top board and through the coin. Then, lift the drill bit back out. Recommended drill bit sizes are 1/8” and 3/16”. Calipers measure a distance or width, so hold them up to the ring and measure the sides around the hole. It is challenging to recover a coin ring if the hole is off-center. If this is the case, you may need to start over with a new coin. The purpose of this is to make the coin easier to mold and work with.  When you are done heating it, the coin may have blackened. It will likely now look like a black washer. Do not touch the coin with your bare hands until it cools. Wear your protective gloves and goggles while you use the blow torch. You will use the mandrel to hammer the sides of the coin down, so it will only slide so far onto the mandrel for now. Set the tip of the mandrel on a piece of scrap wood to hold it in place. This reduces the risk of the mandrel moving around or jumping while you hit it. Turn the mandrel periodically so that you hit all sides of the coin, flattening it against the mandrel.  The ring will be slightly warped from this, as the mandrel grows in size from one end to the other. Therefore, one side of the ring will be wider than the other. This will be fixed. This will be tedious and time-consuming. Take care while you hit the coin not to damage or scratch it. Make sure that the smaller side of the ring is down on the wood and the wider side it up. This will make it easier for you to shape that edge down to a normal ring shape. The band will thicken as you hammer the wide edge down so that it is flat and the same size as the other side of the ring.  This process will push the metal down, which will slightly alter the ring size. Wear the protective gloves and goggles as you heat the ring again. You can polish the ring with a soft cloth, or you can use a polishing compound and felt finishing tip on a rotary tool. If you use a rotary tool, secure the ring standing up in a vise. Apply the polishing compound to the available side of the ring and polish. Rotate the ring occasionally so that you polish all the way around it. You will have to continue to apply polishing compound as you reach new sections of the ring.

SUMMARY: Choose the coin that you want to use for the ring. Collect the tools that you need to complete the project. Center the coin on a piece of scrap wood. Drill your hole through the scrap wood and the coin. Verify that your hole is centered in the coin by using calipers. Hold the coin in a pair of metal tongs and heat it with a blow torch. Slide the coin onto the mandrel. Hammer down the sides of the coin around the mandrel. Slip the ring off of the mandrel and set it on a piece of scrap wood. Apply heat periodically and hammer the wide edge down until you achieve the shape you want. Polish the ring once it has reached the shape and size you desire.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Watermelons are typically refrigerated at a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius (55 F).  Storing your fruit at 21 Celsius (70 F) will increase its lycopene and beta-carotene content (both of which are important antioxidants). A resealable bag or container is the best place for watermelon.  This will preserve its flavor and freshness. In a pinch, wrap your watermelon tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap. Some people advise against freezing watermelon altogether, since thawing or cutting open a frozen watermelon piece could cause the juice to drip out.  If you decide to live on the wild side and want to freeze your watermelon, place it in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.  The watermelon will stay good for 10-12 months.
Summary: Refrigerate your whole or sliced watermelon. Store cut watermelon in an airtight container. Use caution when freezing watermelon.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A low-glycemic diet can help reduce inflammation, which may contribute to your acne. While eating greasy food won't cause acne, eating fresh fruits and vegetables containing lots vitamin A can improve your complexion. Some foods that are high in vitamin A include sweet potatoes, carrots, dark leafy greens, dried apricots, melons, and tuna. These make your blood sugar spike which triggers insulin production. Insulin production also leads to oil production which can clog up your pores. While stress itself does not actually cause acne, it can lead to a more noticeable breakout. Find relaxing things to do on a regular basis. Meditation, exercise, reading, or learning a new skill are great things to add to your schedule and might keep the breakouts at bay.  Stressing about acne can make it even worse. Not only will your mental state aggravate acne, but getting too aggressive about treating acne (such as scrubbing, harsh chemicals, or too frequent washing) can also aggravate the problem. Typically, you are the only person who notices your own acne. Other people will usually not scrutinize your skin as closely as you do. Use your acne regimen as an opportunity to relax and take care of yourself. The actions of washing the face, drying the face, and smoothing on moisturizer all massage and can help you feel good. It can be a calming ritual in your day. Slow down and enjoy. An approach like this can help you relax, feel good about taking care of your skin, and make you feel better about yourself. A typical acne breakout will generally resolve itself within a few days, even if untreated. If you take on a new sport or like to exercise, be sure to wear loose fitting clothing so that your skin doesn't come into prolonged contact with sweat. Also, shower immediately after so that the oil and bacteria doesn't sit on your skin.

SUMMARY:
Freshen up your diet. Cut out or reduce the sugar and simple carbohydrates in your diet. Reduce stress.
