Summarize the following:
In general, people buy certain SUP lengths dependent on how much weight the board will carry. The lighter you are, the safer a shorter board will be for you. If you will be sharing your SUP with anyone on the water, like your kids or other family members, go with a longer board to make sure it can hold the extra weight. If you’re very light, or 50–125 pounds (23–57 kg), and will be riding alone, you can also opt for the shortest all-around boards, which are 9–10.5 feet (2.7–3.2 m). The medium weight class will need a medium length board in most cases. Many all-around boards come in this size. This size is often the easiest to find for multipurpose use. These longest boards are often wider as well, making them safer to balance more weight. If your weight or your combined family weight is 200–275 pounds (91–125 kg), plan on going with the largest available board. The surfing SUP sizing often goes by volume recommendations instead of length, since they are all shorter boards. This system has you multiply your body weight by a certain decimal depending on your experience level, to get a volume recommendation number.  For example, beginners would multiply their body weight in pounds by 1 to 1.4. Intermediates would multiply their body weight by 0.8 to 1. Advanced surfers would multiply theirs by 0.6 to 0.8. The resulting number gives you a board volume recommendation in liters.

summary: Get a 10.5–11.5 feet (3.2–3.5 m) board if you weigh under 175 pounds (79 kg). Use a 11.5–12.5 feet (3.5–3.8 m) board if you weigh 150–225 pounds (68–102 kg). Choose a board that’s longer than 12.5 feet (3.8 m) if you weigh 200–275 pounds (91–125 kg). Follow a volume recommendation if you plan to surf.


Summarize the following:
For the best results, wash and rinse the hair before you begin to cut it. While the hair is still wet, comb through it to release tangles and remove loose hair. Textured or tightly coiled hair should be dried and straightened before being point cut. Hold the scissors in your dominant hand and the styling comb in your non-dominant hand. Comb the hair upward away from the head. When there is about 2 inches (5 cm) of hair in the comb, pinch the hair between your forefinger and middle finger.  Start at the crown of the head, then work around the head in a circle. If you hold a section of hair that is longer than 2 inches (5 cm) in your fingers, it will begin to flop over and you can’t point cut it effectively. If there is less than that much, you won’t be creating the desired texture. For a traditional cut, you’d hold the scissors parallel to your fingers. For a point cut, angle the scissors downward, perpendicular to your fingers. For the basic point cut, the scissors should be pointing straight down toward your fingers. The idea behind the point cut is to create texture and remove bulk, rather than removing length. This is why the scissors are held straight up and down. Begin point cutting at the nape of the neck, then work your way up to the sides. From there, move to the crown then the top of the head.

summary: Wet the hair and comb out any tangles. Comb thin, 2 inch (5 cm) long sections of hair into your fingers. Angle the scissors straight down. Work from the bottom to the top.


Summarize the following:
Remember that this is a formal business letter. You should address the recipient as Mr. or Mrs. Also use "Dear" as a greeting; "Hi" or "Hello" are not appropriate for a business letter. If you're unaware of the recipient's gender, then use the person's full name after "Dear." Cover letters are "cut to the chase" kinds of letters. A long greeting is unnecessary. The first paragraph is for announcing your purpose, so you should state right from the top why you're writing this letter. The opening sentence should read something like: "I am writing with interest in being matched with a job in sales and customer service." After the first sentence, within the first paragraph, you should give a very brief introduction of yourself. This shouldn't go longer than two sentences; just give the recipient an idea of who you are. A good introduction would be: "I am a recent graduate of Rutgers University, where I majored in management." Since the recruitment consultant will match you with a job based on your cover letter and resume, you should state if there is a specific job or company you're interested in being matched with. That way, the recruiter will know what you're looking for and be better equipped to help you find a job. Recruiters may or may not advertise the companies that they work with. If the recruiter you're writing to has made this information public, mention the specific companies you're interested in working for. This demonstrates that you're a serious candidate who has done research into the job you want. After letting the recruiter know what kind of job you're looking for, you have to demonstrate why you would be qualified for that particular job. In a new paragraph mention all of your relevant experience, and why that would make you good at the job you're seeking.  Remember that this section shouldn't just restate your resume; the recruiter already has your resume. What it should do is elaborate on some points that don't get fully covered on your resume. For example, you may have done an internship for a semester. This is only one line on your resume, but you can elaborate on how it gave you invaluable skills and experience for the job you're seeking. You can also bring up experience that isn't on your resume. For example, tutoring your neighbor might not be suitable for a resume, but you can mention how this experience gave you a sense of responsibility, which will help you in the job you're seeking. Remember, the point of this letter is to show the recruiter that you're a good fit for the job you want. Therefore it's not enough to just state your skills. You also have to show why these skills and experiences will make you a good job candidate.  Look at the transferable skills you've attained. For example, if you're looking for a job in sales, you might not think your stock worker position at a retail store gave you much experience. But if you dealt with customers, that means you've gained customer service experience. These skills easily transfer over to dealing with potential clients for your company. If you've never had a job, things you've done in school can also be applicable. You might have given a classroom presentation. That means you have public speaking experience. Other classroom experience that gives you job skills are the ability to meet deadlines, multitask, and work under pressure. After stating all of your relevant experience, start a concluding paragraph. In this paragraph, you should reiterate your job preference and that you are a qualified candidate. Also thank the recipient for his or her time in considering your application. Your closing should sound something like this: "As you can see from my qualifications, I am an ideal candidate for a position in sales and marketing. I greatly look forward to hearing from you and speaking further. Thank you very much for your time and consideration." Never send in a cover letter without proofreading it first. Any spelling or grammar mistakes will hurt your application and make you look unprofessional. Always go through your letter at least 2 more times before sending it in. If possible, have someone else read it as well. A fresh set of eyes could catch mistakes that you missed. Don't forget to attach your resume when you send your cover letter. If you don't send your resume, it's almost certain that the recruiter won't answer your cover letter or refer you for a position.
summary: Address the recipient properly. State why you're writing the letter. Introduce yourself to the recipient. State the job you're interested in. State your skills and interests. State how your skills and interests are related to the job you want. Restate your enthusiasm in the conclusion. Proofread your letter. Send your resume with your cover letter.
