Q: Take a handful of hair from the crown, just as you would when starting a regular  French braid. Split it into two equal parts, and hold one half in each hand. Just as you would for a regular French braid, choose a small strand to start the plait. Hold it in your right hand so it becomes part of the right section. It should be the same size as the strand you took from the other side. Hold it in your left hand so it becomes part of the left section. Keep taking strands from the sides of your head and weaving them into the fishtail. You'll see an intricate, beautiful braid begin to form. Use an elastic, a ribbon or a hair bobble.
A: Separate a section of hair from the crown of your head. Divide it in half. Take a strand of hair from the left side of your hairline. Weave it over the left section and under the right section. Take a strand from the right side of your hairline. Weave it over the right section and under the left section. Alternate sides until you run out of hair. Tie off the end to keep the plait in place.

Article: If you have recently started using a new skin product such as a lotion, soap, or facial treatment, stop immediately. If the rash goes away, you may want to consider discontinuing the use that product permanently. The skin on your neck is delicate under ordinary circumstances, but you want to take special care when that skin is inflamed by a rash. Use lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser, and don't rub or scrub the skin.  If your rash was caused by contact with an item or substance you're allergic to, the rash may start to calm or disappear the moment that item or substance is removed from your skin. For example, if you wore a new necklace and developed a rash, taking off the necklace and cleaning your neck may be all you need to do to treat the rash. After washing your neck, dry your skin well by patting it down with an absorbent towel. Avoid rubbing your skin to dry it – you could spread the rash. To make a compress, use one part baking soda to three parts lukewarm water. Dip a clean washcloth into this mixture and press it gently to your neck. You can also use coconut oil instead of water. After 10 to 15 minutes, remove the compress and wash your skin gently. Leaving baking soda on your skin for too long may cause further irritation. If you've been out in the sun and have a heat rash, cool the skin with an ice pack (or a bag of frozen vegetables) wrapped in a soft towel or an old t-shirt. Leave the ice pack on your skin for no longer than 20 minutes. Avoid placing an ice pack (or ice cubes) directly on your skin. It could burn your skin and irritate it even more. There are several nutritional supplements available that can treat and help heal an inflammatory rash. If your rash was likely caused by inflammation or an allergic reaction, these supplements may provide you some relief.  Vitamin C has antihistamine properties that can reduce inflammation, and is also a powerful antioxidant that boosts your immune system. Take up to 2,000 mg daily. Nettle leaf extract has antihistamine properties as well, and can be effective in treating hives. Take up to 300 mg three times a day. Quercetin is the anti-inflammatory flavonoid present in green tea, red wine, and onions. In supplement form, it can reduce inflammation and calm allergic reactions. Take up to 1,000 mg three times a day. If you have access to essential oils, mix 2 or 3 drops of geranium, rose, or lavender oil with about a half a teaspoon (2 to 3 ml) of coconut oil and apply it directly to the affected area. Chamomile oil also has anti-inflammatory properties and can be used to treat a rash.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Stop using any new skin products. Wash the area well with gentle soap and warm water. Make a baking soda compress. Use an ice pack to calm heat rash. Add a nutritional supplement to your diet. Try essential oils.

Q: A crowdfunding campaign showcases an entrepreneur’s idea to the public, asking for contributions to make the entrepreneur’s vision into reality. In order to do that effectively, the crowd needs to be convinced the entrepreneur’s vision is something to be pursued.  You have to do more than just tell your story.  The crowd needs to identify with the story you’re telling. Your good idea gets them to listen to you and give you their time, but it’s your story that gets them to give to you at the exclusion of everyone else. So, if you started selling prosthetic limbs because you lost your leg in Iraq, tell the story of how you lost your leg and how it lead you to want to create better products. A crowdfunding campaign isn’t promising a return on investment. It offers the chance to help fund the development of a project—for the donor to feel like they are part of the story you told so well. But they don’t want to be a part of a tragedy or a farce, so they can’t feel like they’re wasting their money. To avoid that, you need to appear knowledgeable and competent. Even if you don’t realize it, you’re already the world’s foremost authority on your project. Still, you need to organize your thinking about it. Learn it cold. You’ll know you’re ready when you know it so well you can immediately and fluently explain to anyone what your goals and projections are at six months, one year, eighteen months and two years from startup. Turn yourself into a walking infomercial/business plan. You want to create buzz around your campaign, because campaigns with buzz make the most money. One way to create buzz is by setting and meeting funding goals. Set goals at intervals like 10%, 25%, 50%, and so on. In order to meet your milestones, lean heavily on your personal network (especially in the beginning). Hit up the usual suspects, like your immediate family and your regular circle of friends, but don’t stop there. That Facebook friend from high school you haven’t spoken to in six years? There’s never been a better time to catch up. Do something special for your donors when you reach each milestone. The quicker you hit milestones, the more momentum you’ll have, and the more funding you’ll get. For example, if your crowdfunding goal is to open a restaurant, you could send each of your donors a sweet treat from your kitchen when you hit each milestone. Even if your donors are mostly friends and family in the beginning, that’s ok. Treating them like customers makes you seem more professional. Most people’s personal networks aren’t large enough to get them all the way to their funding goal. So once you’ve tapped your personal networks, kick it up a notch. Begin your social media campaign in earnest after you’ve hit a milestone or two. There’s nothing sadder than going to the landing page of a crowdfunding appeal and seeing that no one’s donated anything yet. You can try engineering a social media campaign yourself or you can pay a social media marketer to do it for you. If you’re the type with 3,000 Facebook friends, you’ll probably get a lot of mileage from a do it yourself effort. If you’re the type with 300 (which is an average number, don’t feel bad), you might want to bring in some help by paying someone. The closer you are to getting funded, the more professional and poised for success you need to seem. So, while you might have been able to skimp on production values in the beginning, leave some money in reserve to add polish  and increase production values as you go. For example, the longer your campaign goes on, the more important it is for you to attend to things like integrating logos into your landing page and emails and paying for professional video editing for your funding pitches.
A:
Craft a compelling story. Develop your idea thoroughly. Leverage your network to hit milestones quickly. Grow your audience. Create more polished appeals as you get closer to your goal.
