INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This is the most important skill you'll need in this mode. If you have not yet learned to recognize gem patterns quickly, you can do so by practicing in other modes such as Endless. Try to leave as little time gaps as possible by thinking of your moves in advance.

SUMMARY: Think fast. Look for other gem chains as soon as you make the move to swap one.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: (You can also place your thumb behind the first valve and this will give you the maximum function of your fingers to press the key down.) This thumb will support some of the weight of the trumpet. It should be placed beneath the lead pipe, or the pipe which attaches to the mouthpiece. Do not bend your thumb, as this can restrict the movement of your other fingers. Some instructors will recommend that you keep your thumb rested against the first valve casing rather than between the first and the second. This technique is designed to help you keep your thumb straight and should not affect the way the trumpet is supported. Pressing different combinations of valve keys is how you play different notes. Using the balls of your fingers, press down the keys that correspond to the notes you wish to play. Rest your fingers on the keys when you're not playing. Think of keeping them in the shape of a claw. Curving your fingers will give you the flexibility to play notes quickly. Even if you're just beginning, practicing this technique from the start will help you as you advance to more complex musical pieces. Your band director will instruct you on the different fingerings used to play notes, or you can use a music book or search for a fingering chart online. It may seem convenient to place your little finger in the finger hook, allowing it to hold some of the weight of the trumpet. However, this will affect your ability to move your fingers freely, especially your ring finger on the third valve. It's fine to use the finger hook temporarily if you need to use your left hand to turn a page of music or reach for a mute. Just try not to get in the habit of doing it all the time. Make sure that you are keeping your right wrist relaxed. Stiffness in your wrist will affect your ability to press down the valves, and it may lead to wrist pain after long periods of holding the trumpet.

SUMMARY: Rest your right thumb between the first and second valve casings. Strike the valve keys with your right index, middle, and ring fingers. Round the fingers of your right hand as you play. Avoid resting your right little finger in the finger hook. Relax your right wrist.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Each feather must be equal in length to each stave, and the feathers must be equal in length to one another. Use a yardstick to measure the staves and feathers. Make sure that the quill portion of each feather can extend all the way down the bottom set of double holes on the stave. If the quill is too long, trim it with heavy scissors until it reaches an appropriate length. Note that the feathers should be at least 4 inches (10 cm) wide and 18 inches (46 cm) long. Hold one stave together with one feather. The quill of the feather should be positioned on the back (undecorated) side of the stave. The feather should curl downward when held with the stave on top. Make sure that the feather plume hangs down over the squared end of the stave. The stave end marked by a single hole should fall below the quill of the feather and in the opposite direction of the feather plume. Locate the lowest set of double holes in the stave. Insert a small cable tie through one of these holes from the back, then loop it all the way around both the stave and the feather. Ideally, the color of the cable tie should match the color of the stave. Some staves have more than two sets of double holes. If the quill of the feather does not extend down to the lowest set of double holes, you can thread the cable tie through a higher set. Make sure that you can use at least two separate sets of double holes per feather and stave, however. Close the cable tie over the feather side. Make sure that you have closed it as tightly as possible so that the feather does not slip out. Thin wire or v-shaped wires can be used instead of cable ties, if desired. Use pliers to twist the wires closed at the feather side of the stave. Loop a second cable tie around the feather and stave inside the top set of double holes. As before, you should close the cable tie as tightly as possible over the feather side of the stave. Line up one feather with each stave and secure the two together with two cable ties. When finished, you should have 12 identical feathered staves. Use heavy scissors or side cutters to trim the end of each cable tie.

SUMMARY: Trim the feathers. Hold the feather and stave together. Tie the feather in place with a cable tie. Secure with a second cable tie. Repeat with the remaining staves.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You will find this bar on the upper left-hand corner of your home page. Facebook's search bar is designed to help you find a specific person, even if you don't know their last name. The search results are based on the information you have included in your profile. Once you begin typing, Facebook will start generating results for the most likely query based on your profile information. Facebook is more likely to suggest friends who are from your own city or country, or who share the same college or workplace. The more details Facebook has about you, the more fine-tuned their search will become. If you can't find your friend with just their name, include the name of their city, college, workplace, etc. This may narrow down your results. If you know your friend's email address, you can also type this information directly into the search bar. Their profile will only appear if the email address you typed is the one they have associated with their Facebook account. Once you have found the right profile, click on it and navigate their profile page to the "Add Friend" button toward the top to send them a friend request. If this person is a new or long-lost friend, or someone who you haven't seen in a while, it is considered polite to send them a message along with your request. Help them remember who you are, so they don't deny the request by mistake.

SUMMARY:
Navigate to the Facebook search bar. Type your friend's name into the search bar. Include a relevant detail. Type your friend's email address into the search bar. Add them.
