Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Test yourself for tone deafness before you begin training. Record yourself singing and compare it to other singers. Sing along with an instrument to precisely define your vocal range. Consult a trained musician for help finding your range.

Answer: True tone deafness is a rare biological condition called amusia. Most people are not tone deaf, they just need to train their ears to recognize pitch. To determine whether or not you're tone deaf, you can take a tone deafness test on one of several websites and apps, or you can visit an audiologist to be professionally evaluated.  Being tone deaf doesn’t mean you will never be able to sing–it just means that you will have to seek out special training from an audiologist or vocal coach to identify pitches through vibrations. Check out one of these sites to test yourself: http://tonedeaftest.com/ or https://beta.themusiclab.org/quizzes/td. To begin to identify your own pitch and range, record yourself singing a song that you know well and play it back, noting where you think you sound very good and where you think you need to improve. Doing this will help you start to notice the different notes you can reach and those you struggle with.  Listen to yourself over and over again and also listen to the song as sung by a professional. The more you listen, the more your ear will recognize the differences. Print out the sheet music or the lyrics and circle or highlight the areas you think you need to work on. This will help you keep track of your problem areas and your progress. Use a piano or an app that generates notes to help you identify your vocal range. Sing back the sounds you hear to determine how low and how high you can go before your voice either strains or cracks. Basically, your range extends from the lowest note you can comfortably sing to the highest.  It's important to know your range because if you try to sing notes outside your comfortable range, they are more likely to sound pitchy and not pleasing to the ear. There are several apps available, such as PitchPro, Voice Tuner, and Harmonize that can help you find your range by playing sounds for you to emulate. If you are not sure of your vocal range after trying to discover it yourself, seek out an expert to help you figure it out. Ask a friend who is a trained singer or find a local, reputable vocal coach to get feedback on your vocal abilities. If you are in the U.S., you can find registered vocal coaches from the online directory of the National Association of Teachers of Singing. If you are outside the U.S., look for a similar type of organization in your country.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Try some simple commands. Play tug of war. Play fetch. Use a leash. Be calm and patient. Be positive.

Answer: You can start teaching your puppy some simple commands even at this young age. Simple commands are crucial for your long-term relationship, and basic obedience training will make your life together easier and more fun. "Sit" is a good place to start. You will just need a few soft treats to help him along. Hold the treat in front of his nose and then slowly tilt his head up and back towards his tail. He will move back into a sitting position, and as he does this, say "sit". Praise him and give him the treat.  You can teach him "down" by starting from a sitting position and holding the treat in front of his nose. Lower the treat down and he will lower down. Say "down" as he moves and then give him and treat and praise him. You may need to keep one hand above his back to discourage him from standing up. You can teach him "come", just by moving away from him, holding out a treat, and saying "come". Puppies love to play tug of war, and it can be a great way to teach them to drop things on command. After playing for a while say "drop" to instruct him to release the object. If he doesn't let you take it, you can gently blow on his face. This will normally prompt him to drop the object and take a step backwards. Be sure to use the command "drop".  If blowing doesn't work, gently squeeze one of his front paws. When he feels that his paw is stuck, he will open his mouth, dropping the object, and look down at his paw. Always use a gentle voice and remember that at this age it is all about learning while having fun together. Keep the sessions short and be sure to reward good behaviour. Another great game you can play with a puppy this young is fetch. Playing this will help him learn to retrieve things and bring them back to you. Get two toys that look identical and throw one of them down the hallway. Hopefully the puppy will chase after the object and bring it back to you. If he picks it up and walks towards you but doesn't stop, the trick is to grab him not the toy. If you show that you want the toy too soon, he won't come near you next time.  Take hold of him as he goes past and praise him for returning. Then you can begin to get him interested in the second toy you are holding. He will learn that if he brings something back to you, you will throw something else for him to chase. In the future he will be happy to give up the first toy because he knows there is going to be another one. If you playing outside with a puppy this young you need to be very attentive. It's a good idea to put him on a long-leash even if you are playing in your garden and there are no escape routes. This will help him get used to being on a leash, but will also enable you to control where he can go. Use a leash of 10-15 feet, but make sure it is light and not too much of a physical burden for such a young puppy. Remember that a puppy of ten weeks old is still very young and his comprehension is limited. Don't try to go too fast too soon, and be patient if he seems not to be picking things up. Puppies can be very easily distracted, so don't allow yourself to be frustrated. Be consistent, stay calm, and have fun. Accidents will happen in these first weeks. Don't have unfair expectations of a ten week old puppy. With a young puppy it's important to reinforce the positive, and ignore the negative where possible. For example, if he chews your shoe that's your fault for leaving it out. When the dog does something wrong remove the dog from the situation, and distract them with an appropriate chew toy. Puppies this young are infants and will not understand you trying to discipline them.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn the different number scales on the thimbles. Read the whole number on the sleeve first. Read how many lines come after the whole number. Find the number and corresponding marking on the thimble scale closest to but underneath the measurement line on the stock. Add those three numbers together. Flip the micrometer over to read to the 10 thousandths marking.

Answer:
On the sleeve is a scale that measures by the one-hundred thousands or 1/10 of an inch; in decimal form it would be .100. In between those whole numbers are three lines that represent twenty-five thousandths of an inch; in decimal form, it would look like .025. The thimble has evenly spaced lines that represent one-thousandth of an inch; in decimal form it would be .001. Above the whole number scale on the sleeve are lines that measure to ten-thousandths of an inch; in decimal form it looks like .0001. The last visible number will read as the thousandths. For example, if the last number you can see on the sleeve is 5, then it would read 500 thousandths, or .00005. Look at the individual markings exposed next to the 100 thousandths and multiply each marking by .25.. In this case 1 x .025 would be .025. If it's closest to 1, then it would be .001. In this case it would be .500 + .025 + .001 = .526. Read that line that lines closest with the sleeve. If, for example, it lines with 1, then the measurement will will read .5261
