Q: Before you begin singing you should warm up your vocal cords. This way you will not strain your voice. This will help ensure that your vocal cords and diaphragm are able to support and produce the sound that is required while singing. You could try humming or practicing tongue twisters before you start singing. You can strain your singing voice through overuse. Avoid talking too much in extremely loud environments. Similarly, you should never sing when you have a cold. This could put unnecessary strain on your voice. Make sure you give your vocal cords time to rest and repair. You can also protect your singing voice by drinking plenty of water. Make sure to drink between six and eight glasses of water daily. This will keep your vocal cords hydrated. A dry throat can strain and damage your singing voice. Smoking cigarettes can cause irreversible damage to your lungs and vocal cords. The smoke dries out and irritates the vocal cords causing them to swell. If smoking continues over a long period of time, your voice may begin to sound hoarse and raspy. Aerobic exercise, such as swimming, running, or cycling can help to expand your lungs and clear your airways. This will make it easier for you to sing and will improve the quality and control of your singing voice. For the best results, exercise for at least 30 minutes four to five times per week.
A: Warm up before singing. Give your vocal cords adequate rest. Drink water. Avoid smoking. Exercise regularly.

Article: Gently swirl the vinegar around in a circular motion to coat the inside of your flask. Allow the vinegar to sit for 5 minutes.  Alternatively, fill your Hydro Flask about ⅕ of the way with vinegar and the rest of the way with water. Allow the solution to sit overnight.  Using distilled white vinegar to clean your Hydro Flask is the best option for effective cleaning. Using other chemicals like bleach or chlorine can damage the outside of the bottle and cause the stainless steel to rust. A bottle brush will be the most effective in cleaning the inside of your bottle. It can reach the difficult places and it has a little more friction than a sponge or a dishcloth. Firmly press the bristles along the inside walls of the flask. Be sure to get all the way down to the bottom of the bottle, and underneath the ledge at the top of the flask. Run warm tap water into your flask. Swirl the water around a few times and then pour the water out. You may need to do this 2 or 3 times to make sure it completely rinsed. Use a dish drying rack, or prop the bottle up at an angle against the side of the sink. Air needs to be able to circulate in order to prevent bacteria from growing. Make sure your Hydro Flask is ready to use by washing it in the evening and allowing it to dry overnight.

Problem: Article: Different sizes of TV use different screws, so you may need to do some trial and error here. An adjustable electric screwdriver cuts out some of the hassle. You’ll have to contort your hand to get the screwdriver behind the TV. The fasteners will be under the mount or on its sides, depending on the model. Mounts that have strings also feature a spring lock in the mount. When you pull the strings, listen for the sound of the lock disengaging. You need to prevent the lock from activating. While you can reach both strings by yourself, get someone else’s help to make it easier. If you don’t have someone to hold the TV out from the wall, you’ll have to improvise with household objects. All you need is a small amount of separation to prevent the lock from engaging. Pull the string on one side and move the side away from the wall. Stuff the wedge objects behind the TV and let go. If done right, you won’t hear the lock engage again, so repeat this with the other side. Movie and video game cases make for great makeshift wedges, but you can use whatever you have on hand. The last restraint is the top part of the mount. Get someone else’s help to lift the TV. Have each person take up one of the ends. Count to three and raise the TV over the amount. It’ll come right off and you can rest it on the ground.
Summary: Unscrew the mount pieces. Pull on the mount strings. Lightly separate the TV from the wall. Lift the TV off the mount.

Article: The primary medications prescribed for tics are antipsychotics, including haloperidol, pimozide, and aripiprazole. In fact, these drugs are the only ones approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of tics.  Talk to your doctor to determine if these drugs are right for you. Discuss using these medications as short-term options while working on behavioral changes. These drugs may make you constipated, give you dry mouth, cause vision blurriness, and make you gain weight. Even though only antipsychotics are approved to treat tics, many doctors turn to other medications to help with tics. Ask your doctor if one of these medications would be right for you. Once your tics are under control, speak to your doctor about reducing the dosage then fully stopping the medication.  Two options are clonidine or guanfacine. These drugs are typically prescribed for high blood pressure, but they can help with both tics and ADHD.  Another option is clonazepam, which is also used to treat anxiety. Tetrabenazine may help if you have a disease like Huntington's, though it can cause depression.  Some people respond to topiramate, an epilepsy medication. With these injections, the doctor will inject botulinum (Botox) into the muscle. Sometimes, the botulinum will help relax the muscle, reducing the tic. However, this only targets small, specific areas, so it should be used a s a last resort. In very few cases, deep brain stimulation surgery may be an option. With this surgery, small electrodes are placed in your brain. The electrodes are then connected to a pulse generator in your chest. The generator sends out small electrical currents to help regulate your tics.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Ask about antipsychotics. Talk about other medications. Discuss botulinum injections. Consider deep brain stimulation surgery.
