Article: Lean on a table using the arm that doesn’t feel stiff and relax your shoulders. Dangle the stiff arm at your side about 45 degrees in front of your body with your fingers pointing to the floor. Then, swing the arm in a circle about 1 foot (0.30 m) in diameter, repeating the motion 10 times to loosen the joint and allow it to crack.  If this doesn’t release the tension in the joint, try holding a 3–5 pounds (1.4–2.3 kg) weight in your hand as you swing the arm in a circle to make the stretch more effective. This is the easiest and safest way to stretch your shoulder muscle and has a very low chance of straining or injuring the joint. Stand with your legs shoulder-width apart and let your arms dangle to the sides of your body. Then, bring them to the front of your body and interlock your fingers with your palms facing down. Slowly raise your arms in front of you until they’re above your head, and hold the stretch for 20 seconds.  If performed correctly, your palms will be facing the ceiling as you hold the stretch and your shoulder may crack as you raise your arms. For particularly tense muscles, raise your arms very slowly and pause as necessary when your muscle begins to feel sore. If you can’t interlock your fingers, hold a broomstick parallel to the ground in front of you with both of your palms facing down. Then, slowly raise the broomstick until you’re holding it over your head, and hold the stretch for 20 seconds. With your legs shoulder-width apart, raise the arm of the shoulder that needs to be popped until it is parallel with the floor. Then, move your arm in front of your body so that your upper arm is across your chest, and hold your elbow with the opposite hand, pulling the shoulder. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds or until you feel the shoulder crack. If you don’t feel any improvement, repeat the stretch 3 times before switching to the other shoulder. Stand with your feet apart and hold a towel in the uninjured arm. Drape the towel behind your back over the uninjured shoulder, and grasp the other end of the towel with your other hand. Gently and gradually pull upward with the uninjured arm to stretch and crack the opposite shoulder, holding the stretch for 20 seconds. If you feel pain at any point, stop the stretch and rest. If you don’t have a long enough towel, use an exercise band or another long piece of fabric that won’t tear when you tug on it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Complete a pendulum stretch if your shoulder is feeling stiff or frozen. Do overhead stretches with interlocked fingers to relieve tension. Cross your arm over your body to crack one shoulder at a time. Perform a towel stretch to crack and stretch your shoulder if you had an injury.
Article: Apply silicone caulk to any cracks around your windows and doors or along the foundation of your home.  Most spiders will sneak into a building through these various cracks and unintended openings. Sealing the cracks will prevent the spiders from coming in. You can purchase caulk from a hardware store. Follow the instructions provided on the label to prepare and apply the caulk correctly. When you apply the caulk, make sure that the cracks are completely filled and covered. These are the other types of passageways spiders use to invade your home.  Weather stripping and door sweeps will seal the gaps left at the bottom and sides of your doors and windows. Door sweeps are especially important because you cannot use caulk to cover the crack at the bottom of the doorway, making a properly fit door sweep your only means of cutting that path off from spiders.  A tight-fitting screen is also an essential tool. Spiders can slip in through the gaps left by loose screens, and so can many insects spiders like to feed on. Install screens over your windows and vents. Repair any holes in your screens as soon as you spot them. If you spot a hole in your screen, repair it or replace the screen. Otherwise, spiders and insects may find their way into your home through that hole. Spiders gravitated toward clutter inside a building as readily as they do outside a building.  Do not let piles of clothing, papers, towels, linens, or shoes sit on the floor. If you do leave a pile of clutter on the floor, shake out each piece of material as you clean the clutter up to shake off any unwelcome spiders. Spare clothing, holiday decorations, extra linens, and other objects that belong in long-term storage should be stored in sealed containers to prevent spiders from sneaking in.  Do not use cardboard boxes. If you must rely on cardboard boxes, however, cover all exposed openings with packing tape. Good storage methods are especially important for items stored in a dark basement or attic. Consider storing outdoor tools and sports equipment in sealed storage containers, as well. This includes roller skates, gardening tools and clothing, ski boots, and team uniforms. If you do not want to store these items in plastic bins, store them in a large plastic bag with a tight seal and no holes.  Cover all sources of pet and human food. Spiders are not interested in human and pet food, but insects that spiders feed on are very interested in these food sources. As a result, keeping food hidden away in sealed bags and containers will attract fewer insects, thereby attracting fewer spiders. You should regularly clean your general living area, but every couple of weeks, you should also clean around the areas where spiders like to dwell.  Vacuuming and dusting removes both full-grown spiders and egg sacs, preventing the latter from hatching and producing a vast quantity of baby spiders. Vacuum under furniture, inside closets, under heaters, and around all baseboards. Dust high wall corners and other areas prone to little human or pet activity.
