Problem: Article: To make an 8.5-inch bracelet, you'll need 13 feet of paracord (preferably 550 weight), scissors, a match or lighter, and an unbuckled plastic release buckle. Pull the loop through one side of the buckle. Pull the ends through the loop of cord. Pull it tight to make a knot, holding the cord in place. Pull the ends of the cord through the other side of the buckle. Wrap it around your wrist. Adjust the second buckle so that the bracelet fits properly. Fold the ends back around towards the first buckle. Take it off your wrist. Rotate the bracelet so you're holding the first buckle. Straighten out the ends. The left end loops back around towards the left side, and the right end loops towards the right side. Hold on to the left loose strand up near the buckle. Pull the left strand around the right side and then around the back. It should come back towards itself. Using the strand you just pulled around, pull it over the loop you are holding on to with your left hand. Weave it over the two left strands and under the two right strands. Weave it over the right loose cord. You now have two "core" strands on the left and two "core" strands on the right. The loose cords are separate from these core strands. Take the right strand, and weave it over the right core strands. Weave it under the left core strands. You had made a loop with the left strand. Pull the right strand up through that loop. Pull the stand to make it tighter. Starting with the right strand, repeat the process. At the other end, cut off the ends of the paracord even with the bracelet. Use a match or lighter to seal the ends.
Summary: Gather your supplies. Fold your cord in half. Tie a knot. Measure the bracelet. Turn the bracelet. Pull the left strand around the right side. Weave the same strand in. Weave the loose right strand in. Pull it up through the left loop. Tighten it up. Repeat the knot. Go all the way to the other end.

Problem: Article: If you have worms, you may feel an itching in your abdomen that is not normal. This itchiness occurs because the worms release toxins in your body that your immune system responds to like an allergic reaction. Like the itchiness you feel, another reaction that your immune system will produce is a rash. This is again caused by the toxic fluids that the worms leak into our system that causes a hypersensitive reaction in the form of a rash. The rash will most likely show up as red bumps that might itch. Some worms can create an obstruction (or blockage) in your intestines. A few worms will cause ulcers, which in turn can cause severe pain in your abdomen. Worms that can cause obstructions in the intestine include  Round worms. Tapeworms. Hookworms. If you have a worm (or worms) in your body, you may experience sudden weight loss without trying to lose weight. This is because worms extract the nutrients from the food that you eat, which means that you don't get any of the good nutrients that you normally get when you eat food. These symptoms are most commonly associated with roundworms. This type of worm has a tendency to travel from the stomach, up into the chest area. When they move, they can cause you to gag because they are a foreign body moving through your system. Some types of worms, particularly hookworms, actually hook themselves into the lining of your intestine, which can cause a wound to form. Whether or not the worm moves, the wound will continue to bleed. This blood can make its way through your intestine and into your stool. The blood can show up as a reddish color in your stool, or your stools may look black, signifying older blood.
Summary: Monitor any itching in the abdomen that you feel. Look for any rashes on your body. Pay attention to any pain you feel in your abdomen. Monitor any sudden and unexplained weight loss. Watch out for gagging or coughing that you experience. Look for any blood in your stool.

Problem: Article: Lots, and lots of water. Staying hydrated is key to staying vocally healthy.  Stay away from cold water. It tenses your vocal folds up when they need to be relaxed to hit those notes. Tepid water is best.  Milk coats your vocal folds. It may feel good to drink, but its not good for your voice. If you are feeling a strain, don't drink liquids that are too hot. Warm tea (with a bit of honey is fine); thin, room temperature liquids are best. You know those girls you see in Victorian pieces in the movies and on television? That's not a bad place to start.  If there's a back to your chair, don't use it. Keep your back straight and your arms loose. Don't suck in your stomach. You're breathing from it, remember?! Keep your body as relaxed as possible. Relaxing your voluntary muscles makes it easier to relax your less-than-voluntary ones. When you start feeling yourself reach vocally, do it physically. You'd be surprised how the physicality helps.  Start with your arm by your side at the beginning of your siren and make a circle as you go, reaching as high as you can vocally and physically simultaneously. Think of throwing a frisbee when you do trills and high warm ups. Some coaches advocate literally pressing down when you're warming up with arpeggios and hitting your vocal breaks. The idea is that pressing down with your hands reminds you to keep your larynx low. Simply enough, a professional's guidance will be the quickest way to seeing the results you want. However, keep in mind that every vocal coach is different and you'll obtain different results with each one. Ask your potential coach questions about their own training, what techniques they employ, and what genres of music they'll be teaching you to start. Some coaches might give you a very poppy sound and others very classical; yet others a happy medium.
Summary:
Drink water. Practice good posture. Use your arms. Get a vocal coach.
