Q: Try an exercise called elevator slides as a great way to warm up your voice and reduce vocal cord injury. Make a noise that sounds like a long, slow siren while making an “ah” sound. Start out as low as you can go, ascend to as high as you can, and go back down.  Repeat this several times, experimenting with different vowel sounds, such as “ee” and “ooh.” Keep your throat relaxed, especially as you get to the high notes, to help the notes not catch in your throat. Fill your lungs with air just like you normally would, except keep going to allow your lungs to really expand. Try to inhale through your nose, and take your time to get a good solid breath.  Try not to make any sound when breathing in. Inhaling slowly will help you avoid making a sound. If you can hear yourself taking your breath in, there is tension in your breath. This tension will be audible in your out-breath while you're singing. To find out where your diaphragm is, put your hands firmly around your waist and cough. The muscle that pushed your hands out is your diaphragm. When you take a deep breath, your diaphragm expands; it should stay expanded throughout the duration of the phrase you're singing until it's time to draw a new breath in. Try keeping your hands around your waist when you're starting out, to be sure that you're supporting your voice with your diaphragm. Soprano is the highest range of the female voice. To see if you fall into this range, play a middle C on a piano or keyboard and match the note with your voice. Do the same thing for all notes up to the C two octaves above middle C.  Coloratura sopranos, a subset of the soprano category, are actually able to sing the third F above middle C and sometimes higher. If you are unable to strongly hit the highest C, you may be a mezzo-soprano. Mezzo-soprano is the mid-range female voice. They are often supporting or villainous roles in operas, though some French operas have lead role mezzos. Use a piano or keyboard to try and match the mezzo notes to determine if this is your voice range. Contralto is the lowest female voice range, and countertenor is the highest male range; these ranges consist of almost the exact same notes. The only difference is that countertenors generally cannot hit the lowest F, so that range actually starts from the G below middle C and goes up an octave to F.  True contralto voices are so rare that contralto roles are often given to mezzo sopranos. Countertenors often use a falsetto, or head voice, technique to reach their high notes. If you're a female with a low voice, or a male with a high voice, you may fall into these voice ranges. Use a piano or keyboard and try to match the notes to find out. Tenors usually have the male lead roles in opera. Like the other voice ranges, there are subset categories within the tenor range that are more particular for different types of roles. Lyric tenors are able to easily hit the highest notes in the range, and generally get roles of charming young men, whereas dramatic tenors generally are most comfortable in the middle of the range and get robust, muscular characters for roles. This is the mid-range male voice. Play the notes on a piano or keyboard and try to sing along with them to see if this is your range. Baritone roles are often comic or villainous in nature. Bass voices, the lowest of the male range, often get older, comic, or supporting roles in operas. If you're a male and have a pretty low singing voice, try to match the low notes on a piano or keyboard to find out if this is your range.
A: Warm up your voice. Take a slow, deep breath in. Keep your diaphragm expanded to support your voice throughout each note. Sing from middle C and up two octaves to see if you have a soprano voice. Try the G below middle C and up two octaves to A for a mezzo-soprano voice. Sing the F below middle C to the F one octave above it for contralto and countertenor voices. Try the C below middle C to the C above it to see if you have a tenor voice. Sing the second G below middle C to the G above it if you have a baritone voice. Try the E above middle C to the E two octaves below if you have a bass voice.

Article: The bowline knot also has a loop at the end that you can put around a cleat or post if you need to moor your boat temporarily. The knot tightens under pressure, so it won't untie as long as it is bearing a load. Although this knot is secure, do not use it in emergency situations. Drape the rope across your palm. Wrap the end of the rope to make an O-shaped loop. Make sure that the end of the rope is crossing in front of the rest of the rope. Take the end of the rope and bring it behind the loop. Pass the end through the loop so that you have a second loop right next to it. The second loop should be big enough for your hand to pass through. Bring the tail behind the rope, then pull it back down through the first loop that you made. Keep the tail end under the second loop. Hold onto the rest of the rope and tug on the tail end. You can slide the knot up and down the rope to make the second loop larger or smaller.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Use the bowline if you need a strong hold that is easy to untie. Form the end of the rope into a loop. Feed the tail end of the rope through the loop. Bring the tail around the rope, then pull it back through the hole. Pull on the rope to tighten the knot.

Problem: Article: Lightly grease a loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.  together the brown sugar and butter in a separate large bowl until you achieve a creamy texture.  Stir just to moisten. Remember to leave room in the pan for the bread to rise as it bakes.
Summary: Preheat oven to 350ºF/175ºC. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Mix Stir the eggs and mashed bananas into the butter/sugar mixture until well blended. Add the banana mixture, vanilla extract, and banana flavoring into the flour mixture. Pour batter into loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes (depending on your oven type time may vary), or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Let the bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack or plate. Serve by itself or with any topping you like.

Q: This method uses long, thin cuts and slices to give your shirt a drastic "destroyed" look. For this method, you'll want a t-shirt that you don't mind ruining. Preferably, the shirt should be solid-colored and bear no screen-printed design (screen prints can be tough and somewhat tricky to make clean cuts through). Congratulations - your shirt is ready to wear! Don't forget that this shirt exposes your midriff - if you're worried about breaking the dress code at your work or school, be sure to wear an undershirt!
A:
Grab a suitable shirt. Wear your shirt with pride (and an undershirt).
