INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you can shape the axe head, you will need to hit off a piece of the source rock that will become your axe head. Strike the upper edge of the source rock with the large hammer. Focus on striking off flakes and slabs of rock as you hit the source rock. Use short, swift hits against the source rock, lifting your arm a few feet from the source rock and coming down steadily with the hammering rock.  You can attempt to hit off a large slab that can be used as your axe head or hit down the source rock until it becomes the right size for the axe head. Be careful as you hit the source rock, as shards of rock will likely fly around. It is better to work slow and steady here so you do not have chunks of rock flying around you. For safety purposes, you may want to wear safety gloves and safety googles to protect yourself from flying rock shards. The goal is to have an axe head that is the size of your palm or a bit larger. Be patient, as it may take several hours to hit down the source rock until it is the ideal size for the axe head. If you are using a river rock, you will need to take your time when pecking it down with the hammering rock. The grains of the river rock must be removed slowly as you can damage or split the rock if you are not careful. Work on one small area of the rock at a time and use short, swift strokes to carefully peck away at the river rock.  It can take several hours to peck away at the river rock. You should work outdoors in a comfortable area. Be careful of small pieces of river rock flying toward you as you peck the rock. If you work slow and steady, they should not be a major hazard. Once you have hit or pecked down the rock until it is about the size of your palm, you will need to form the cutting edge of the axe head so it is sharp. The axe head should taper down toward the cutting edge. The cutting edge should be a similar thickness to a steel axe, with a narrow edge. Hold the axe head so it is vertical, resting on the wide side of the rock. Use the hammering rock to form a narrow end of the axe head by hitting the rock in small, short movements. You want this end to dip down so it forms a narrow edge. This edge will become the cutting edge of the axe head. Polishing the rock will help it to stay durable and sharp. You can use the leftover source rock if there is a slab that is thick enough and wide enough to rub the axe head against it. Alternatively, you can look for a large flat piece of rock that has an even surface, as this will act as your polishing rock.  Pour a handful of water on the stone and start to rub the wide, flat side of the axe head against the stone. Use both hands to rub the stone back and forth, making sure to keep the polish rock wet with water. Polish down all sides of the axe head so it appears even and smooth on all sides. This could take a couple of hours so be patient and take your time. You may also want to use a smaller rock to polish the cutting edge of the rock. Make sure the axe head is wet as you use the small rock along the cutting edge of the rock, rubbing until the cutting edge appears smooth and even. This will mean it is also sharp enough to chop through wood and other plant matter.

SUMMARY: Hit the source rock with the hammering rock. Peck the river rock with the hammering rock. Form the cutting edge of the axe head. Polish and sharpen the axe head on a stone with water.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: After a vaginal birth, it’s totally normal to be sore and uncomfortable. Additionally, you’ll experience a few weeks of bleeding as your body sheds your uterine lining. However, serious pain and bleeding could be a sign something is wrong. While you don’t need to worry, talk to your doctor to make sure everything is okay. Your vaginal bleeding is considered heavy if you soak through more than 1 pad in an hour. If your pain is accompanied by fever and abdominal tenderness, it’s possible you have an infection that needs medical treatment.
Summary: Call your doctor if you have excessive pain or bleeding after delivery.

Dandruff doesn’t usually require medical treatment, but sometimes it can be associated with more serious conditions. There’s no need to see your doctor if you have some flakes with no other symptoms. However, you should make an appointment if you have dandruff accompanied by symptoms such as redness, tenderness, or swelling in your scalp. Symptoms like these could also indicate that you have another skin condition, such as seborrheic dermatitis. If you have very heavy dandruff or if home treatments aren’t helping, it may be time to see a doctor. You should also call your doctor if you have severe itching and discomfort along with dandruff. They can identify the cause of your dandruff and prescribe an appropriate treatment.  For example, if your dandruff is caused by an inflammatory disease, a corticosteroid treatment or immune response inhibitor might help. For persistent fungal infections of the scalp, your doctor might prescribe a strong antifungal shampoo or medication. If you have a condition that weakens your immune system, such as an inherited immune deficiency disorder, HIV/AIDS, cancer, or diabetes, call your doctor if you develop dandruff. Your doctor can check if the dandruff is caused by an infection in your scalp, and treat it if it is.  Some medications, such as steroids and chemotherapy drugs, can also weaken your immune system. See your doctor if you develop dandruff while taking one of these medications. Untreated skin infections can lead to serious complications if you have a weakened immune system, so don’t hesitate to get it checked out.

One-sentence summary -- See your doctor if you notice signs of infection in your scalp. Get medical treatment if your dandruff is severe or doesn’t respond to home care. Seek medical attention if you have dandruff with a weakened immune system.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This should be the lowest setting your oven has, which is necessary to dry the figs at a low, even temperature. Drying them at a higher temperature would result in cooked figs. If your oven doesn't heat to such a low temperature, set it at the lowest possible temperature and keep the oven door partially open. Carefully trim away the stems as well as any damaged parts and pat them dry with a paper towel or dishcloth. Use a paring knife to slice the figs from stem to tip, lengthwise, on a cutting board. If they are particularly large, cut them in quarters. Be sure to use a rack with ventilation holes, so that the figs dry from below and above. Using a regular baking pan will result in figs that don't dry evenly. Prop the oven door open slightly to allow the moisture to escape and prevent the figs from getting too hot and cooking instead of drying. If you don't want to leave the oven on continuously, you can turn it off halfway through, then turn it back on if necessary. Be sure to turn the figs occasionally during the drying process. The figs are done drying when the outsides are leathery and no juice can be seen on the inside when you split one open. Remove them from the oven and let them cool completely before placing them in airtight containers, like Ziploc bags. You can freeze figs for up to 3 years. Or, you can keep them in the fridge for several months.

SUMMARY:
Preheat your oven to 140° F (60° C). Rinse the figs thoroughly with water. Cut the figs in half. Lay them cut-side-up on an oven-safe rack. Put the figs in the oven for up to 36 hours. Allow the figs to cool completely before storing them. Put airtight containers full of dried figs in the fridge or freezer.
