Problem: Article: Once your contractions are 3-5 minutes apart, or once your water breaks, head to the hospital or to your birthing center. Bring a bag with light, loose clothing, a robe, thick socks, maternity bras, non-perishable snacks, and a full water bottle. You should also pack photo identification and your healthcare information so you have it on hand. Pack the bag a few weeks before your due date so it is ready to go. Let your partner know where it is so they can bring it for you to the hospital or birthing center, as needed. Let your doctor or midwife know you are at the hospital or birthing center. The staff at the hospital or center will give you a hospital gown to put on and set you up in a room or area. The doctor or midwife will then check in on your regularly to see how your labor is progressing. If you have a doula, let them know you are in full labor so they can be there to support you. Start with slow breathing when your contractions become close together and more intense. Inhale slowly through your nose and exhale through your mouth, letting air out with a sigh. Keep your body limp and release any tension as you exhale. Do light accelerated breathing as your labor becomes more active. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, breathing in and out rapidly. Keep your breathing shallow and follow a breath pattern of one breath per second. When you start to feel overwhelmed or exhausted during labor, do "pant-pant-blow" or "hee-hee-who" breathing. Inhale quickly through your nose or mouth and let out a longer exhalation through your mouth. Make a "who" or "puh" sound as you exhale to release stress and tension. Change positions to find a comfortable one for you as you push during late-stage labor. Lean on your doctor, midwife, doula, or partner to support you as you push. Consider taking medication to help reduce the pain and keep you relaxed. Your doctor or midwife can discuss this option with you and offer it to you as you push during the final stages of labor.
Summary: Bring an overnight bag with you. Check in with your doctor or midwife. Do breathing exercises to reduce pain and stress. Communicate with your doctor or midwife once it comes time to push.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Social media can play a large role in the hiring processes of many agencies and organizations, who will look not only at your LinkedIn profile, but also at your Facebook and Twitter accounts, as applicable. Describe your online presence on your resume, and provide links to the social-media pages that you would like your potential employers to access. When job hunting, these sitesespecially LinkedInshould be regularly updated and maintained just as careful as your paper-copy resume. Include a statement to the effect of: "I have stayed current with hiring practices and job-search procedures, and list relevant information about my past work experience at my LinkedIn profile [include URL]. I am also active on Facebook and Twitter." Alternately, if you prefer not to have an online social media presence, note this clearly on your resume. It's better to acknowledge the fact that you choose not to market yourself online than to risk appearing out of touch with modern technology and hiring practices. You can simply include a statement such as: "While I realize that some parts of the job-search process can take part online, I have chosen not to use a site such as LinkedIn because I would prefer my professional experience be summarized only on my resume." Modern resumes are brief: they typically comprise no more than two pages. If your resume follows outdated resume-writing conventionsespecially if the style of your resume is decades oldyou will appear professionally out-of-touch and a poor choice to fill the position. Remove excess verbiage from your paragraphs, and focus on using active verbs that highlight professional skills. Only include a couple of concise bullet points describing your responsibilities at each prior job. Use verbs and active language, for example: "Developed material for cooling semi-truck radiators that saved $200,000 per year." While conventional chronological resumes present employment information from most recent to oldest and span an individual's entire working career, this can be detrimental to older job seekers. Your decades of experience may make you appear too old or over-qualified for the job. Either a functional or combination resume will let you present your workplace proficiencies without relying on dates. Plan to format your resume in one of these two styles: A functional resume highlights the skills that you've acquired over your career, regardless of chronology, and is a good choice for people with gaps in their work history. A combination resume balances professional skills with your work history by first listing your relevant skills and experiences, and then giving a brief chronology of your work experiences. This is an outdated resume-composition technique which would appear out of place on a contemporary resume. The assumption here is that the prospective employer will contact you if they'd like to move forward in the hiring process and contact your references, so you don't need to provide the names of references prior to (or in) the interview. Of course, you will need to have the names and contact information (at least email and phone) of 24 individuals who will be able to vouch for your professional and personal excellence. You can include a brief sentence at the bottom of your resume: "Professional references available upon request."

SUMMARY: Mention your online presence. Mention in brief your reason for not having an online presence. Reformat and streamline your resume. Select a functional or combination resume format. Don't list "references available" at the bottom of your resume.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Figure out the length of your braid. Add on an extra 1/3 of that measurement to get your cutting length. This is how long you'll need to cut your string. For example: Desired length: 24 inches (61cm) 24 divided by 3 = 8 inches (20cm) 24 + 8 = 32 inches (81cm) 32 inches (81cm) = cutting length Use the same color for each strand of string, or use different colors. For a fancier braid, cut 6 or 9 strings instead, then divide them into 3 groups. For example, you can do 3 pink strings, 3 purple strings, and 3 magenta strings. Embroidery floss is a popular choice, but you can use other types of string, such as yarn or leather cording. Gather the ends of your strings together. Treating them as a single strand, coil them into a loop, then pull the ends through the loop. This will make the knot. Keep the knot 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6cm) from the string end. Tape the string above the knot to a flat surface, such as a table. 1 strand to the left, 1 in the middle, and 1 on the right. With multiple strands of color, group the strands by color instead. For example, place the pink strings to the left, the purple strings in the middle, and all the magenta strings to the right. Take the left string and cross it over the middle string. Take the right string and cross it over the new middle string. Again, if you have multiple strings of each color, treat that color group as a single string. For example, if you have 3 pink, 3 purple, and 3 magenta strings, cross all of the pink strings over all of the purple strings. Give the strings a gentle tug to tighten the strings as you braid. Repeat the process until you reach the length you want, or until you have 2 to 3 inches (5.1 to 7.6cm) left. Coil the braid end into a loop, then pull the tails through the loop. Tug on the tails to tighten the knot, then trim off the left over strands, You can now use the braid for the craft project you created it for. If this is a bracelet, wrap the braid around your wrist and tie the ends together into a double-knot.
Summary:
Decide your braid's length. Cut 3 pieces of string based on your measurements. Knot your strings together. Separate your string into 3 strands or groups. Start the braid. Maintain a consistent tension. Fasten the braid end into a knot. Remove the tape from the start of the braid.
