Article: There is a long-standing myth in the music industry that the old-fashioned fix of recording a song, placing it in an envelope and mailing it to oneself guaranteed copyright. The post date on the stamp was supposed to serve as proof of the date of origin of the song, provided the envelope remained sealed. However, this method didn't stand up in various court cases and has since been discredited. Moreover, given that your copyright exists on creation, and that an envelope's seal can be carefully unsealed and resealed, this method does seem rather fallible. If your country is a member of the Berne Convention, copyright in a song comes into existence when you create it. It does become more complicated when there are several creators who have contributed to the song, but there are rules governing these "layers." It's best to seek legal advice in that situation. The U.S. copyright office is the only one among the Berne Convention's member countries offering a method to register content of the song (lyrics, melody, chord, etc.). Unfortunately in all other countries, only the title of the song is recorded. The value of the protection afforded is significantly reduced. However, your possession of a dated original is all the proof of authorship that you need in most countries, assuming there is any dispute.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Avoid poor man's copyright. Be aware of the Berne Convention.

Problem: Article: A vital part of studying is repetition. Test yourself on difficult material during each study session. Make flashcards with vocabulary words, dates, and other facts. Use these to test your knowledge. If you have a math exam, do practice tests in your math book. If your teacher or professor provides practice exams, take as many as possible. Try to make your own practice tests. Review the types of question your teacher asked on quizzes and try to replicate them in your own words. Make a test for yourself, containing 10 to 20 questions, and then complete the test. If your teacher provides practice tests to help you study, take them home and do them on your own time. Start well ahead of time and bring in your practice test to show your teacher. Ask her something like, "I've gone through my notes and made this practice exam to help me study for the test next week. Could you tell me if it's on the right track?" Your teacher isn't likely to tell you whether or not specific things will be on the test, but she will probably be happy to tell you whether you're studying the right areas. And your hard work and preparation are sure to impress! The most difficult subjects require the most mental energy. Start with this work first. After completing harder materials, studying easier subjects will feel a lot less stressful. Study groups can be a great way to maximize your studying experience. However, keep in mind that you need to use study groups effectively in order for them to have the best effect. You should structure study groups as you would an individual study session. Choose which materials to focus on and have set timeframes and breaks. It's easy to get distracted if you're working with groups of people. A schedule can help you stay on task. Work with people who you know are hard workers. Even the best planned study groups can fall apart if you choose to work with people who are distracting and procrastinate. Remember, there's no shame in asking for help if you need it. If you are continually struggling with a particular subject despite diligent studying, seek out help from another student, a tutor, a teacher, or a parent. If you're a college student, there might be free tutoring centers on campus dedicated to helping students with a particular subject like writing, language, or math. As studying is seen as a chore, allowing yourself breaks and rewards can help motivate you to study harder. Take breaks every hour or so to stretch your legs, watch television, surf the internet, or do some light reading. Provide rewards at the end of study sessions to motivate yourself to work harder. For example, if you study 3 days in a row treat yourself by ordering take out.
Summary: Test yourself. Start with the hardest subjects. Use study groups effectively. Seek out help when you need it. Take breaks and give yourself rewards.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The standard parting method taught in cosmetology schools requires diving the scalp into 7 sections: top, right side, left side, right crown, left crown, right nape and left nape. You'll also pull out a .5 inches (1.3cm) band of hair around the perimeter of the hair line. Use a comb or pick to part your hair beginning at the point on top of 1 ear, and part across the top of your head to the same point above the other ear. Comb the section forward to separate it from the rest of your hair. Separate the top third of the hair you just combed forward. Fasten the section by twisting it up into a knot and securing it with a medium-sized butterfly clip. Clip the remaining right and left thirds of the hair you combed forward. Start at the point just behind your ear on 1 side and part across to the same point behind the opposite ear. The top layer of hair will be used for your crown sections. Part the crown section straight down the middle of your head. Clip each half separately. Extend the crown part down the middle of your head to divide the nape into right and left sections. Clip each section separately. Using your comb or pick, release the strip of hair from one section at a time, around the perimeter of your head. Be sure to follow the perimeter around the front, the sides and under your hair. Cut the hair. The order you will cut the sections will vary based on the style you are trying to achieve. Some require you to cut from the back up, while others may dictate you cut from the front to the back.

SUMMARY: Part hair into 7 sections for better-controlled cutting. Section the front of your hair. Isolate a section of hair at the top of the head. Create the right side and left side sections. Make a clean part across the back of your head. Divide the crown section into the right crown and left crown. Use the remaining hair across the back of your head for the nape sections. Let out a .5 inches (1.3cm) strip along your hairline.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Saturate the affected area with water. Let it sit until it's dry. Repeat the treatment if the ink stain is still visible on your concrete.
Summary: Mix 1 tablespoonful of ammonia with 1 cup of water in a large bowl to make ammonia water. Thoroughly wet the surface to be treated with clean, clear water. Saturate a piece of cotton batting in the ammonia water. Apply the cotton batting to the stained area. Pour scouring powder on the affected area. Use a stiff bristle brush to scrub the surface. Thoroughly clean and rinse the area with clean water to remove any residual staining. Dry the area with clean towels.

This will balance the basket, ensuring that it doesn't topple over. Only proceed to the next step when the glue has dried. (It helps to press down on the circle, placing your finger into the base of the carton cup.) Pierce two holes either side of the cup, just down a little from the top of the cup, at even heights. Push one pipe cleaner end through one hole and loop around to keep in place. Push the other end into the other hole, again making a loop to keep it in place. The handle should now form an arc over the top of the carton cup, serving as the basket's handle. It's now a miniature basket.
