Q: Add 34 ounces (1 liter) of tap water that’s been filtered to a large bowl or measuring cup that you can easily stir a spoon in. You can use a basic water filter pitcher to filter the tap water, but it’s important to remove any heavy metals, such as lead, from it. If you prefer, you can use bottled water in place of the filtered tap water. Add ⅛ teaspoon (.6 g) of baking soda to the water, and stir well to ensure that it’s fully incorporated. Stirring the baking soda into the water adds the mineral sodium to the water. Mix ⅛ teaspoon (.6 g) of epsom salts into the water, stirring until it’s fully incorporated. The epsom salts, also known as magnesium sulfate, help purify the water.  You can find epsom salts at most grocery and drug stores. In the United States, be sure to use epsom salts that are marked as “USP” grade. They have tested by the FDA and are considered safe for human consumption. Add ⅛ teaspoon (.6 g) of potassium bicarbonate to the water, and mix well to ensure that it’s fully blended in. It makes the water alkaline, so it can help to keep your bodily fluids from becoming too acidic. Potassium bicarbonate is often used to keep wine from being too acidic so they aren’t too tart. You can usually purchase it from stores and online retailers that sell winemaking supplies. After you’ve mixed all of the minerals into the water, slowly pour it into a seltzer bottle. When you squeeze the handle of the bottle to dispense the water into a glass, the bottle will carbonate the water with a carbon dioxide cartridge for refreshing, fizzy mineral water. Not all mineral waters are carbonated. If you prefer flat mineral water, pour it into any airtight container that you like.
A: Pour the filtered water into an open container. Mix the baking soda into the water. Add the epsom salt to the water. Stir the potassium bicarbonate into the water. Transfer the mixture to a seltzer bottle and enjoy.

Q: The vestibular system contributes to balance and sense of spatial orientation. Vestibular exercises help to calm the child down using swinging or rocking motions. Repetitive motions sooth and refocus the child's attention on their physical sensation. Place the child in a swing and gently push them. Adjust the swinging speed, slowing down or speeding up, until your child is calm. If swinging seems to make things worse, stop.  It may be a good idea to install an indoor swing to best incorporate technique. This can be accessed no matter what the weather is. Some children can swing themselves. In this case, gently suggest they go to their swing. Spinning is a stimulating vestibular exercise. This activity will likely stop a meltdown by diverting attention from the trigger and redirecting it to physical sensation.  Office chairs tend to work best because they swivel easily. Make sure the child is firmly seated and spin the chair slowly to avoid injury. Some children will prefer to leave their eyes open, while others may close them.
A: Understand how vestibular stimulation exercises work. Swing back and forth. Twirl the child in a chair.

Q: Singing a song entirely in vibrato can become overpowering. Try to use vibrato as a way to emphasize certain lines rather than the way you sing the entire song to help your singing voice sound more versatile. A music instructor can help coach you to figure out which lines would or wouldn't sound good with vibrato. Although many pop, musical theater, and classical songs benefit from vibrato, some songs sound better without it. If you're not sure whether a song sounds good with vibrato, look up live recordings and see which lines professional singers emphasize with vibrato. One common mistake people make while using vibrato is tensing their jaw, which can cause your jaw to wobble. If you feel your jaw tensing up, relax the muscles as much as possible and avoid moving them up and down with your voice. This mistake is called "jaw vibrato" or "Gospel Jaw" because it's more common among Gospel singers.
A: Keep your vibrato subtle. Use vibrato selectively. Relax your jaw while singing vibrato.

Q: Wipe up any excess glue with a rag. Vacuum up any sawdust that’s been left behind. Store or discard any pieces of wood that you didn’t use. Put away nails and tools. Glue can expand after it dries, which can lift the replacement boards and make them uneven with the original ones. To prevent the new boards from rising, cover them with heavy objects like books, potted plants, or tools. After 24 hours, remove the objects and enjoy your level floor. Store several pieces of spare flooring somewhere safe and climate controlled. That way, if you need to repair or replace a board in the future, you'll have the hardwood ready and waiting.
A:
Clean and vacuum the area thoroughly. Weigh down the new boards for 24 hours if you used glue. Keep spare boards on hand for future repairs.
