Q: Your breathing affects your speech, so deep breathing can help you stop mumbling and speak clearly. Do breathing exercises every day to help you strengthen your voice. Here are some deep breathing exercises you can try: Exhale all of the air from your lungs, then inhale deeply until your lungs are totally full. Do this 3 or 4 times a day to help you breathe better. Exhale until your lungs are empty, then take 5 quick gasps of air to fill your lungs. Gasping engages your diaphragm, so it will help you learn to breathe more deeply. Do big "ha ha ha" laughs to help you inhale and exhale deeply. Press your lips together and laugh through your nose to help you control your breath. Lie down, place a book over your abdomen, and relax. Then, breathe in deeply so that the book rises. When you exhale, the book should fall. Talking too quickly makes it hard for people to understand you and may cause you to mumble. Fortunately, slowing down can help you fix this problem. To help you slow down, take more breaths as you speak. Additionally, make sure you're saying every syllable of each word. Try not to worry about speaking too slowly. It may feel like you're talking really slowly, but you're probably speaking at a normal speed. In addition to helping you feel more confident, good posture keeps your airways open so that you can speak more clearly. While standing or sitting, keep your back straight and your shoulders rolled back. Additionally, tilt your chin up so that you're looking straight forward. Try not to hunch forward, even when you're sitting down. It's okay to lean, but keep your back straight so that you can breathe easily.
A: Practice deep breathing to help you produce a strong voice. Talk slower so you can improve your clarity. Maintain good posture while you're speaking.

Article: COPD is present when there is an obstruction in your lungs that disrupts airflow. COPD is usually treated by monitoring and controlling symptoms through a combination of medical assistance and lifestyle changes. Hyperinflation of the lungs is frequently caused by COPD. If you've previously been diagnosed with COPD, this could increase your risk for lung hyperinflation. To treat COPD, your doctor will recommend a combination of lifestyle changes and prescription medications. If you are a smoker, it's important you quit. Making symptoms of COPD worse by neglecting medication or continuing to smoke can increase your risk of lung hyperinflation. Asthma is caused by inflammation of the airways. Depending on the severity of an asthma attack, swelling can disrupt air flow to the lungs. Over time, this can result in lung hyperinflation. Treatment of asthma usually involves building an action plan with your doctor about medication, lifestyle changes, and how to manage asthma attacks when they occur. Talk to your doctor about better managing your asthma as to avoid lung hyperinflation. Cystic fibrosis is a chronic disease that may affect several organs and systems in your body. It is an inherited disorder of the exocrine gland, characterized by an abnormal production of mucus that tends to be much thicker and stickier than usual, which can plug your airways. As with anything that blocks airways, cystic fibrosis can lead to lung hyperinflation. If you have cystic fibrosis, you are at an increased risk of lung hyperinflation.

Problem: Article: Every state is a little different, so make sure you know at what age you're legally allowed to quit school. Some states allow students to drop out at 16, while others will not allow you to make that decision until you're 18. Though you can drop out with a legal guardian's consent if you're younger than the established age in some states, other states will not allow you to drop out before the age of 18, even with your guardian's consent. Make sure you know this information before dropping out. You can find your state's legal age requirements here. Even though you're considered a drop-out if you just stop going to school altogether, the action of doing so without consulting the proper legal channels can have legal ramifications for you and your legal guardians. Simply no longer attending school is referred to as truancy in legal terms. It can lead to fines and community service for you and/or your legal guardians. Becoming truant may stand in your way of receiving a high school equivalency. In some states, you might be allowed to legally leave school early if your legal guardians agree and if you pass a High School equivalency test or get a GED. Make sure to research if your state adopts this policy. Each state and school district has different forms that you and your parents need to fill out. Make sure to consult with the appropriate person at your school to find out which documents need to be filed and when they have to be returned. Be aware that your guidance counselor may try to talk you out of your decision. Be prepared to offer your reasons for making your decision and be confident in your decision.
Summary: Determine the legal age for leaving school. Don't just stop going to school. Understand the testing requirements for drop-outs in your state. Talk to your guidance counselor or administrative advisor about the required paperwork.

Q: You need to practice lying on the ground. You will find that lining up your sights will be quite different and rapid fire become difficult to control. Your stance on the ground should be such: lay on your belly. Then roll slightly to the firing side. Place your support knee and elbow down on the ground. You will be a bit sideways, but your firing arm will be completely flush with the ground with your head resting on it looking down the sights. This allows burden-free breathing and a very stable platform. This can give you a very stable platform for shooting accurately. Put your firing leg behind you and essentially sit down on the heel of your foot. Your firing knee will be on the ground and your toe. Rest your support elbow on your support knee. You are in a tripod position (support foot, firing toe and firing knee), and you are in an arrangement where you can move quickly (practice moving periodically to and from the crouching position). Hiding behind cover in a gun fight seems like a smart idea, but don't think you are invincible behind most materials. There is a big difference between "cover" and "concealment". Objects like car doors and walls may only serve to keep you hidden from your opponents' view (concealment), but in most cases bullets can pierce through these objects. It is more advisable to look for something that can stop bullets as well as hide your whereabouts (cover). Shooting from behind cover should be done while exposing as little of your body as possible. If the cover allows it, do not expose your body from the same side.
