Problem: Article: For this project, look for a double necklace (one that has two rows of chains attached near the clasp). Make sure there's at least one to two inches (2.5 to 5 cm) of space between the upper and lower chain. The type of metal, such as silver or gold, is a matter of preference. Choose something that will complement your shell selection. For this project, you will need 10 small shells of roughly the same shape, three medium shells of your choosing, and one medium conical shell. The color choices and shell styles are a matter of personal taste.  This necklace will have two focal points: a cluster of three medium shells in the center of the upper chain, and the conical shell at the center of the lower chain. The 10 smaller shells will be distributed evenly around the focal point shells. Along with the chain and the shells, you'll also need 24-gauge jewelry wire (in a color of your choice), pliers, wire cutters, a drill, and 12 jump rings. Set aside your conical shell. For the other 13 shells, drill holes in them in the location where you want them to attach to the necklace. Use a marker or pencil to mark the spot on each shell where you want it to attach to the cord, then hold the shell against a flat surface and use light pressure to drill a small hole in the shell. Finish preparing the shells by doing the following:  Use the pliers to attach a jump ring to each of the 10 smaller shells. Do not close the jump rings yet. With the three medium shells, arrange them all on a single jump ring, but don’t close the ring. To create an added point of interest, wire-wrap the conical shell and attach it to the necklace with wire, rather than a jump ring. To start, cut a piece of 24-gauge wire six times the length of the conical shell.  Hold the wire in the center by pinching it with your index finger and thumb. Wrap the wire around the tip of your index finger and twist the two pieces together three times to form a small loop at the center of the wire. Spread the two wire ends out and position the middle of the fat top (not the pointed end) of the conical shell where the twist is. Begin wrapping the two wires around the shell at an angle, forming stripes like on a candy cane. When you’ve wrapped the entire shell right down to the tip, twist the wires around each other three times to secure them in place. Separate the remaining wire ends. With the pliers, grab the tip of one wire and fold it back on itself. Then grab the folded end and roll it back on itself again. Continue doing this until you reach the twist and there's no more wire to roll. The excess wire should look like a spiral. Repeat with the other wire end. Start with the conical shell. Attach a jump ring to the wire loop you created, and attach this to a single link at the center of the necklace’s lower chain. Close the jump ring with pliers. Then take the three medium shells and position them in the center of the necklace’s upper chain. Insert the jump ring into a single link and close it. Repeat with the 10 small shells. On the lower chain, attach three small shells to the chain on either side of the conical shell. On both sides, place the first shell two inches from the center, then the next shell another two inches from that shell, and the third shell another two inches away. Repeat with the upper chain, using only two shells on either side of the center shells.
Summary: Choose a metal chain. Choose your shells. Gather your supplies. Prepare the shells. Wire-wrap the conical shell. String the shells.

Problem: Article: Before they can be rolled, your leaves must be moistened or "cased."  You can use a fine mist of water or a humidifier to moisten the leaves.  Placing the leaves in a large plastic bag with a bit of water will also do the trick. The amount of water you need, and the length of time your leaves should be moistened, depends on the type of leaf you are working with.  Very dry leaves will need to be exposed to more moisture than less dry leaves.  Experiment with different volumes of water and periods of absorption to find out how you can get the most pliable leaf. Wrappers are thinner, larger, and more malleable than the other leaves used in the cigar.  They will be used to hold the other leaves together and form the outer "skin" of the cigar. This vein is identified by tracing the stem up through the leaf to its tip.  By cutting the leaf vertically along each side of this central vein, you will ensure the wrapper will be as smooth as possible.  If you wish, you can make your wrapper even smoother by pressing it briefly with a warm iron or a rolling pin.    The most intact and aesthetically pleasing leaves should be used as wrappers. The binder will hold the filler leaves before being covered by the wrapper.  Midgrade leaves -- those which are intact enough to contain filler leaves but not acceptable as wrappers -- make good binders. Like the wrapper, the binder will need to be deveined.  Cut the leaf along either side of the stem so that you end up with two roughly symmetrical halves. Fillers are placed in the innermost core of the cigar, and are surrounded by the binder leaf.  You can shred your filler into smaller, finer pieces if you wish.  Choose the most aesthetically problematic leaves for filler.  Leaves with holes or uneven coloring are the best options for filler leaves. Keep your filler leaves a bit drier than the binder or wrapper leaves, but ensure they remain flexible. Since filler comprises the bulk of the cigar, flavor is an important factor when choosing filler leaves as well.  Sample different varieties of tobacco to find one you like.
Summary: Moisten your tobacco leaves. Select your wrappers. Cut the central vein out of the wrapper leaves. Select your binder. Select your filler.

Problem: Article: As you work to return shoulder mobility, take an extra 5-10 minutes to warm up before engaging in any major exercising. Low impact activities such as walking or riding a stationary bike are ideal. This will help gradually increase blood flow to the muscles and prevent further injuries. As you feel able, start stretching and doing basic exercises to return strength and mobility to your shoulder. You may feel resistance when you first begin, but you should stop or reduce the difficulty of any activities that cause you pain. Some basic stretches and exercises include:  Pendulum swings: Bend over at your hips and use your non-injured arm to support yourself on a table or chair. Allow your injured arm to hang down, and slowly perform easy movements in all directions for 1-2 minutes. Prone rowing: Lie on your stomach and bend your injured arm at the elbow. Squeeze your shoulder blade and lift your hand toward your armpit before returning to neutral. Repeat this for 10 repetitions. You can add a light hand weight for added resistance as you build strength. In addition to exercising your shoulder, it should be stretched daily to help maintain mobility as it heals. Stretches may be done during exercise sessions, or you may choose to do one or two stretches at different points throughout the day to help keep your shoulder limber. Some stretches may include:  Flexion stretch: lie down on your back with your knees bent. Clasp your hands together and stretch your arms directly up then back over your head. Hold the stretch briefly before returning to neutral. Repeat this exercise 10 times. Posterior capsule stretch: Grab the elbow of your injured arm using your non-injured arm. Pull the elbow gently across the chest as far as possible. Hold for 10-30 seconds before letting go. Repeat this stretch at least 3 times. This will help stretch the back side of the shoulder.
Summary: Warm up with low impact cardio activity before exercising. Gently exercise your shoulder as it heals. Stretch your shoulder on a regular basis.

Problem: Article: It's the green and white chat bubble icon with a phone receiver inside. You'll find it on the home screen or in the app drawer. This method will help you disable the feature that allows your contacts to see when you've viewed their messages. It's at the top-right corner of the screen.    ” It's in the “Messaging” section. Once the box is blank, your contacts will stop seeing blue check marks when you've read their messages. You also won't see blue check marks when they've read yours.
