Article: If you're trying to record in the room that has a problem with echoes, a shotgun microphone can help keep unwanted sounds out of your recording. Usually, they pick up echoes much less than standard microphones on laptops or phones do. Find shotgun microphones online or in a local electronics store. Generally, microphones pick up sound best when they're about 4 inches (10 cm) away from your mouth. If it is further away, it may start to pick up the room's echoes more. Before recording, use headphones to test how your microphone is picking up sounds. If it is picking up echoes, try moving your microphone closer to your mouth. If that doesn't work, try moving the microphone to the part of the room that echoes the least.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Purchase a shotgun microphone for recording. Place the microphone close to your mouth. Use headphones to troubleshoot.

Problem: Article: A toothbrush Toothpaste A medium sized pot for boiling water A slotted spoon A timer that shows minutes and seconds A clean towel A pair of scissors This will help you decide which mouthpiece settings to use   Typical bite: your top front teeth slightly overlap your bottom front teeth. Mild underbite: your top front teeth are even with or slightly behind your bottom front teeth. Severe underbite: your top front teeth are very far behind your bottom front teeth. Overbite: your top front teeth are very far in front of your bottom front teeth. It is important that your mouthpiece fits properly in your mouth while you sleep. This ensures safety, comfort and effectiveness. Molding of the mouthpiece typically only needs to be done once. Use your regular toothbrush and toothpaste. You can also use floss if you like. It’s important that little bits of food don’t get into the mouthpiece and alter the shape of it during fitting. Place enough clean water in the pot to cover the mouthpiece. Bring the water to a simmer or slightly above. Lower the mouthpiece into the water using the slotted spoon. This will help you avoid burning your fingers. You should typically leave the mouthpiece in the boiling water for exactly two minutes. Make sure you start timing immediately. Use the slotted spoon to remove the mouthpiece. Allow the mouthpiece to cool for fifteen seconds. Insert the warm mouthpiece into your mouth. Make sure you are holding your lower jaw forward for the best fit. Bite down on the mouthpiece hard enough to make a solid impression in the plastic. Hold your bite for thirty seconds. Make sure you don’t make an impression in the plastic or you might ruin the mold. Let the mouthpiece fully cool before handling it further. Sometimes the molding process creates jagged edges that might hurt your mouth. Trim these but be careful not to trim too much. A dentist with expertise in sleep-related breathing disorders can ensure your mouthpiece fits properly.
Summary: Compile the following equipment. Determine what type of bite you have. Give your mouthpiece a custom fit. Clean your teeth. Boil water. Place the mouthpiece in the water. Set a timer. Remove the mouthpiece. Make an impression in the mouthpiece. Carefully remove the mouthpiece from your mouth. Trim any excess plastic pieces using the scissors. See a dentist if you have difficulty.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The 20 minutes can be at any point during the day, but try not to split the 20 minutes up into smaller increments. Dedicating 20 minutes each day to reading (and sticking to it) will help turn reading into a habit.  Set a timer for 20 minutes—or 30 or 40 minutes, if desired—so that you know how long you've been reading. If you find yourself wanting to keep reading after the 20 minutes are up, keep going! Many times, you'll start reading before going to bed and will only get through a couple of pages before becoming too tired. By reading right after you wake up, you'll be much more alert and will be more interested in the book. Try reading both before bed and in the morning to take advantage of down time. There are lots of times you could be reading in your spare time, like when you're at the doctor's office, at a park, or waiting for a lunch date to show up. By keeping a book in your purse, car, briefcase, or backpack, you'll be able to read during any free moments you have. Reading during things like television commercial breaks will help you make use of even more reading time. If you take a bus, train, or other type of public transportation to work, bring a book with you to read during the commute. If someone else drives you to school, work, or other activities, use this time to get in some extra pages. While you can't read a book if you're driving, you can listen to the book on tape. Listening to an audiobook requires the same mental process as reading a book, so it's fine to do this. There are book apps that you can download on your phone, tablet, or computer, making it easy to read even if you don't have a physical book with you. Peruse the books available on these apps to find one that you're interested in.  There are many books you can download on apps that are completely free, while others will cost money. If you download the app on all of your devices and read it on different ones, most apps will sync together, making it easy to pick up your reading spot no matter which device you're using.

SUMMARY: Set aside at least 20 minutes of dedicated reading time each day. Read after you wake up as opposed to right before bed. Keep a book with you at all times. Take advantage of travel time. Use technology to fit in extra reading time.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can get electrocuted if you clean a dryer with water while it is still plugged in. Unplug the dryer before you begin to stay safe. Fill a small bowl or bucket with warm water and a few drops of dish soap. You can use any type of dish soap that you have on hand. Then, dip a clean dish rag into the soapy water and wring it out. Use the rag to wipe the inside of the dryer wherever it is stained. Apply medium to hard pressure to scrub the stains. Check after a few seconds to see if the stain is coming up. If it is, keep scrubbing. If not, you might need to try a different option. After you finish scrubbing the stains in the dryer, hold the rag under warm, running water. Then, wring it out and wipe out the inside of the dryer again to remove the soap residue. Your dryer is safe to use again after you finish wiping it out. Plug it back in after you finish cleaning it.
Summary: Unplug the dryer to protect yourself from electrical shock. Wipe out the inside of the dryer with a rag soaked in soapy water. Rinse the rag and wipe out the dryer again.

Remove the caps from the 2-way and 3-way valves and from the service port and connect a vacuum pump hose to the service port. Turn the vacuum on until it reaches an absolute vacuum of 10mm Hg. Close the low pressure knob and then turn off the vacuum. Test all of the valves and joints for leaks, then disconnect the vacuum. Replace the service port and caps. To ensure the pipes and cables don’t move around or become disconnected, attach them to the exterior wall of your home using the clamps that came with the kit. Follow the directions in the manual to ensure the clamps are spaced adequately. Spray expanding polyurethane foam into the hole you drilled to feed the cable and piping through the wall. Make sure the hole is completely sealed to prevent hot air or insects from getting through. Let the foam dry as per the instructions on the label before turning on your air conditioning. All that’s left to do is to start the A/C, which you can do from the indoor unit. It should only take a minute or 2 for cool air to start blowing into your home. Refer to the instruction manual if you have any trouble operating your new air conditioner.
