Article: Dread locks should dry with the braids in place to help the crinkles set. Start by washing your hair as you normally would. When blow drying your hair, only get it about 80% dry. Go into the process with your hair just slightly damp. Take an elastic hair tie big enough to fit around your head. Something like a sweatband or hair band works well. Pull the hair tie over your head so it rests around your neck. Then, push all of your dreads stuck under the hair tie out. Pull your hair tie upward, pushing all your dreads back as you go. When you're done, the hair tie should be loosely wrapped around your dreads, securing them away from your face. The hair tie does not need to be secured tightly. You're going to be removing three dreads from the tie at a time, so it's important it remains loose enough to easily remove your hair. One by one, carefully pull out three of your dreads from your hair tie. If you accidentally dislodged more than three dreads, simply push the unneeded dreads back into your hair tie. Take the three dreads you pulled out of your hair. Braid them together into a tight braid. When you're done, push the braid back under the hair tie. If you want, you can secure the braid with a hair tie. This may not be necessary for all dreads, as some hair tends to stay together on its own when braided.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Start with damp hair. Secure your hair with a large hair tie. Pull three dreads loose. Braid the dreads together.

Problem: Article: Drape the tubing over your dish rack or drying rack so it can air dry. Make sure the tubing is not touching any other items and the ends are open to allow air to flow through the tubing. Another option is to lay the tubing flat on a clean dishtowel so it can dry overnight. The tubing will take longer to dry, perhaps between 8-12 hours. To ensure the tubing is completely dry inside, attach it to the pump on one side and turn on the pump. Run the pump for several minutes to help dry any water or condensation in the tube. You can also leave the pump running for a few minutes after you are done using it to help remove condensation. This will make cleaning the tubing easier. Do not store the tubing while it is still wet, as this can allow bacteria and mold to form. Let it dry completely and then keep it with the other parts of the breast pump so the pump is easy to put together as needed.
Summary: Hang the tubing to let it air dry. Let the tubing dry flat on a dishtowel if you have more time. Attach the tubing to the pump and run it for 3-4 minutes to dry it quickly. Store the tubing with the other pump parts once it has dried completely.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A functional resume is any that emphasizes skills and abilities and de-emphasizes the chronology. This shift in focus may be helpful in the following situations: You are changing careers or focus and you wish to feature skills and accomplishments that weren't central to recent jobs, such as older experience, volunteer experience, or skills developed outside of work. You have an interruption in your work or your career has recently taken a detour You can better customize your resume to the job you are seeking by de-emphasizing the chronology. Write down skills and accomplishments. Don't worry at this stage which ones are relevant. You can sort and edit later. Don't forget anything that might help, including: Volunteer experience. Experience working in another country, industry, or job function. Education, academic background, and on-the-job training. Skills, especially computers and language skills. Clubs and community affiliations. Hobby, craft, and do-it-yourself know-how. What is the very best, most relevant selling point on your resume? Are you a computer whiz? Do you have an impressive degree? Do you have years of experience doing something related to the jobs you want? Give your strongest asset top billing. You might also subdivide your experience into groups; for instance general people skills and more concrete accomplishments. Rather than a section for each job, have a section for each sort of experience or skill you can offer. Computer skills, education, and experience are the obvious divisions. When listing experience, begin each line with an active verb. It adds punch to the writing and gives the list a consistent tone and structure. If you can, focus on problems you've solved and specific results you've achieved. Did you save somebody money? Did you accomplish something more than your job description? The usual rules of resume writing still apply, only the result is shaped differently. This is not the well-worn "Objective" bit about obtaining a full-time job. Instead, it is the best condensed version of your offerings you can write. Ideally, a busy recruiter or hiring manager should be able to tell whether it's worth reading more of your resume within about 20-40 seconds. They can be one-line descriptions, including simply the company, your title, and the year in which you worked there.

SUMMARY: Consider whether a functional resume will improve your chances of getting an interview, and thereby a job. Brainstorm. Organize. Arrange the resume by category, not by time. Add a summary at the beginning. Add a brief chronology of your work history at the end.

Include your name (what you would like them to address you by), your academic background, and your interests. You could say something like, "Good morning class, my name is John Smith, you can call me John or Professor Smith. I received my degree in Communications from XYZ College and my masters from ABC University. I just moved to the area recently and enjoy exploring downtown and going hiking with my dog, Bruce." It's helpful to share details that students can identify with, but be wary of sharing overly personal information. This is also a time you could share any awards you have won, areas of study you are interested in or involved in, publications, or boards you serve on. You want to establish as much credibility as possible. Be welcoming and warm, making sure to look around the room as you introduce yourself. If you are nervous, try looking above the heads of the students instead of making direct eye contact. Move your body and walk around the room if you feel comfortable. Remember that your students see you as the person of authority in the room. Chances are, they won't notice if you are nervous or forget something you had planned to say. Be confident and know that there is always time to cover anything you may have forgotten. While you are giving your introduction, pass out the class syllabus so the students can begin looking it over. You can then refer to it after your personal introduction to share your expectations for the class (attendance, participation, structure, projects). Setting the tone for the class on the first day is an important part of teaching a successful, engaging course. Practice several times before you actually are in front of your students.
