Take your rabbit to the vet immediately if it has broken a bone. If your vet is not available, take the rabbit to an emergency clinic. Until the injury is attended to by a professional vet, try to keep your rabbit from moving around. Place food and water close to the rabbit in an enclosed space. This way it will not need to move to take care of itself. It is tempting to give your bunny an eye drop, but this can cause considerable damage. All that you can do before going to a veterinarian is wet a cotton ball with warm water and gently wipe your rabbit's eyes to remove build-up. Rabbits often bite each other.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Whistle register is not a singing style that you can easily learn on your own. In many cases it isn't safe to try it without proper instruction. If you have a singing coach already, tell them you want to work on your whistle register. Ask them how to improve your technique. If you don't have a vocal coach already, search one out who has worked with singers on their whistle register. If they have experience with it, they will be able to give you better advice. Crisp vowels are important in whistle register like they are in all other ranges. The vowel sounds that you need to master are Ah, as in father, Eh, as in met, Ee as in feet, Oh, as in dome, and Oo, as in shoe. Practice forming these vowel sounds in your whistle register. To practice this, look at the lyrics to one of your favorite songs. Make a list of the phrases that contain words with these vowel sounds. Sing those lines entering your whistle register on the words with strong vowel sounds. Always practice your whistle register safely. Because your vocal cords are tighter in whistle register than they are at other times, you may strain them as you work on the technique. If at any point your throat starts to feel uncomfortable, stop immediately. Take a break for a while and let your vocal cords rest. Never push past the point when you begin to hurt because you will end up damaging your vocal cords.

SUMMARY: Take lessons from a coach. Emphasize clear vowel sounds. Stop if you feel any discomfort, pain, or tickling in your throat.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Quite often a person in a bad mood will leave their mark on those around them. This is often in the form of putting them in a bad mood, as well. People who are close to each other often mimic each other's behaviors, which can leave you feeling cranky. Instead, do your best to stop them from affecting your mood. One of the easiest ways to avoid allowing someone to control your mood is to simply stay away. You may need to leave the room in order to do this, but it is likely your best method. It can be hard to get space if the person lives with you like a parent or a spouse. In such a case, you might identify a "safe zone" in your house or a nearby park where you can get space. You may also want to develop an activity to help you release any negativity, such as going for a long walk in nature or taking a yoga class. There's a good chance you are not the cause of the person's bad mood. There's an even higher chance, however, that the situation will become worse if you take how the person is acting personally. Don't assume that the mood is because of you. You can find out, however, if you ask in a non-accusatory way. Ask the person if they want to talk about why they are in a bad mood. Listen to them if they agree and try not to get upset if they do say it has to do with you. Let it go if they decline your invitation to discuss the matter. For example, your boss might snap at you because he's feeling pressure from his own superior. You might ask, "Is there anything I can do to help?" If not, just give him a wide berth until he calms down. Sometimes you just need to get some space from a situation. If you are constantly around a person, then it is easy to get sucked into their mental energy. You don't have to let someone take their bad mood out on you. Even if they are your partner, you don't have to take it. Remove yourself from the situation if the person's behavior is getting out of line or you can't handle it anymore. You can tell the person, "I see that you are really upset about something, and I'm sorry for that. However, I need to walk away for a minute." Keep in mind that you can choose your level of involvement and sometimes it is best to just ignore the person. Not only is your physical safety a concern, but you should protect your mental health, as well. Being around someone who is constantly in a bad mood can affect your emotional well-being. Consider changing your situation if you find the person's moods are taking a toll on you. If their bad mood is affecting you, then this can have an impact on your physical health. It may be best for you to remove yourself from the situation if this is the case.

SUMMARY:
Avoid allowing the mood to rub off on you. Try not to take it personally. Remove yourself from the situation if you need to. Make your safety a priority.
