Article: Programs crash, and often at the worst time. Protect yourself from losing hours of work by saving your files regularly. If you are making changes to a file but don't want to overwrite the original, use the "Save as" function to create a copy with a new file name. Many programs have an autosave function that will automatically save your file after a set amount of time. This can save you in a pinch, but should not replace actively saving often. When you first save a new file, you will be asked to create a name for the file. Make sure that the file name allows you to easily recognize the file, and contains any important information such as the date or the author of the file. This will help you find what you need when you're searching for a specific file on your computer. When you save a file for the first time or use the "Save as" command to create a new copy, many programs will give you the ability to change the format of the file. This can usually be done by clicking the dropdown menu underneath the field for the file name. Checking for the file format is especially important when transferring files to someone who may not have the same version of the program that you do. Most operating systems will create a Documents folder that your saved files will be automatically placed in by default. While this can be good to have a general idea of where your files are, taking the time to create a system of folders can help keep you afloat in a sea of files.  Use folders to sort by file type, project, date, or any other criteria you want. Most modern versions of Windows use Libraries, which allow you to keep files of the same general type in one area. These libraries are not actually locations but are instead collections of files from across multiple locations. You can cut down a lot of time if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for saving files, especially if you find yourself saving a lot. Pressing Ctrl+S (⌘ Cmd+S on Mac) will save your file in most programs. Many programs have shortcuts for the "Save as" function as well. These shortcuts will vary from program to program. For example, F12 will open the "Save as" dialog in Word, while ⇧ Shift+Ctrl+S will open it in Photoshop. To prevent data loss in the even of a computer failure, make sure that you backup your saved files often. This means copying the saved files from your Documents folders onto an external hard drive or uploading them to a cloud storage service. See this guide for more details on backing up files.

Article: Cut the top off the pumpkin or cut an angled hole around the stem. Scrape out the seeds with a spoon, and transfer them to a strainer. Rinse the seeds under running water, picking out strings and bits of orange flesh. When the seeds are clean, shake the strainer to remove excess water. Transfer the seeds to a jar or bowl. Cover them with the water and sprinkle in the salt. Cover the bowl with a clean towel or sheet of a paper towel and set it aside on the counter.  Allow the seeds to soak for at least seven hours, or overnight if possible.  Soaking seeds is similar to sprouting, in that it makes the nutrients easier to digest. Pumpkin seeds, however, won’t sprout, so you have to soak them instead. Drain the seeds through a strainer to remove the water. Spread the seeds out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Transfer them to a warm oven that’s been preheated to 150ºF (66ºC). Let them dehydrate in the oven for between 12 and 24 hours.  Start checking the seeds after 12 hours. The seeds are done when they are completely dry and there's no water left in them. If your oven doesn’t go that low, either set your oven to its lowest temperature, or use a dehydrator.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Remove and clean the seeds. Soak the seeds. Dehydrate the seeds. Finished.
Article: Remind all employees of the rules and enforce whatever your policy dictates for disciplinary action. As a rule of thumb, give one or two reminders before writing him up. Be consistent in your enforcement. If you look the other way sometimes but not others, or show favoritism toward some employees, you will create a chaotic environment where employees feel resentful and take advantage of your inconsistency. With a plan of action for improving the employee's attendance, you will need to make sure he is following through. Regularly check the employee's attendance records each month. While the employee may adjust his behaviour initially, he may fall back into old habits if he feels he can get away with it. If the employee is able to improve his performance, be sure to take time to give him praise. This way, he knows that you are paying attention, and that you haven't failed to notice his efforts. On the other hand, if your employee fails to improve his attendance, consider taking disciplinary action. This might mean providing a written warning, it may mean suspending the employee without pay for a period of time, or it may mean termination of the employee.  Deciding on the right kind of disciplinary action should be done by considering the history of the employee, the reasons for his absence, as well as your company's policy.

Enforce attendance rules. Keep an eye on attendance. Praise your employee. Consider disciplinary action.
