Problem: Article: Locate the main supply line at the side of your house, or in the basement if you live in a cold climate. If your supply pipe is silver and magnetic, with threaded fittings, it's galvanized steel. Old galvanized pipes often clog with mineral buildup or corrosion, slowing water flow. Replacing these with copper or plastic pipes may solve your problem. A small pipe can cause problems if it can't meet your water needs. As a rule of thumb, the supply pipe diameter should be at least ¾" (19mm), or 1" (25mm) if it serves a 3+ bathroom home, while ½" (13 mm) pipes should only serve one or two fixtures. A plumber can give you a more specific recommendation based on your water use. If you've always had this problem, phone your water supply company and ask for your neighborhood's "static water pressure." If the answer is below 30 psi (2.1 bar / 21 meters of head), the city supply could be the problem. Purchase and install a water pressure booster to address this, or continue tot he next step.   Warning: If you have corroded or clogged pipes, boosting water pressure could damage or break them. Higher supply pressures may still be inadequate for a multi-story house or a house on a hill. 60 psi (4.1 bar / 42 meters of head) should be plenty even in these situations.  If your water supply comes from a well or gravity flow system, leave pressure adjustments to a professional. Find a pressure gauge that attaches to a hose bib from a hardware store. Make sure nothing in your home is using the water supply, including ice makers and running toilets. Attach the gauge to the hose bib to read the pressure.  If the pressure is lower than the water service claimed, it may be an issue with the water main. Talk to your water service and/or the local water municipality to find out whether you can get them to repair it. If you can't get the service to repair it, install a water pressure booster. Water pressure fluctuates along with demand. Try again at a different time of day to get a more accurate sense of the range.
Summary: Replace old supply pipes. Check pipe size. Address poor city supply with a water pressure booster. Test the supply pressure yourself.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: While the spying side of the CIA might be the seeming glamor filled side you're hankering after, the Directorate of Operations (or "clandestine service" where the spies are located), is but one part of the CIA and a small part at that. The majority of CIA employees work in analytical positions, language positions and science, engineering, and technology positions. Matching your skills and aptitude to what you're best suited for may not see you working in the clandestine service positions at all, so be ready for this possibility. In addition, be prepared to become part of a family when joining the CIA, with expectations to uphold deep loyalty to others, and with possible ramifications on your outside-work socializing and relationships.  Whatever your position, a role in the CIA means that you're part of the first line of defense in a warning and protecting your fellow citizens. You will be working with people possessing high integrity, perception, analytical ability, and intellectual curiosity. You'll be expected to work in teams on many occasions, so you will have to have strong team skills. You'll be able to pursue career goals within the CIA and it's hoped that you'll remain with the CIA for the duration of your career. The Agency has its own community. The reason for this stems from the academic environment, as well as the nature of the work performed and the mission of the CIA. The CIA's George Bush Center has its own food court, fitness facilities, formal gardens and walking paths, company store, recreational and activity clubs, and artwork on display. In addition, there is a museum, a library, and the usual offices. The Agency considers its community a family, employing people from nearly all fields of study, united in their work and their service to the country. Before even embarking on the process of becoming a CIA officer,  do some thorough background reading on what the CIA is about, what CIA officers do (not just spying.), as well as finding out about how much of the spying isn't what you'd gleaned from movies and TV shows.

SUMMARY: Understand what is involved in a CIA career before seeking to join the CIA.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: People will need to do your work while you're gone; you should make this as easy as possible for them, without overburdening any one person. The Harvard Business Review suggests you “prepare a list of your core responsibilities, dividing them into tasks that can be assumed by other and those that aren't so easy to delegate, such as client relationships.” Think about who in your organization might fill each role, and consider hiring someone to cover for you if necessary. This involves more than just telling the good news that you're pregnant. You'll also need to let them know the additional responsibilities they'll be taking on. This does not have to be a burden for them. Especially for subordinates, it can be an opportunity to take on new, higher-level responsibilities and to progress their career. You'll need to let your clients know that you will be stepping away, and also introduce them to the person who will be taking over for you in your absence. If you serve as the primary contact for anyone else – suppliers if you're a restaurant manager, for instance – you'll need to let them know your plans, too. The more you can tie-up before you leave, the less you will have to stress about while gone, and the easier the transition will be for your coworkers. It can be very hard to step right in after 3 months away if you have not kept in touch. Your company should know that you will not always be available, but do plan to check in regularly by email or via a short, weekly scheduled call. If you are going to be heading back to full-time work, there is a good chance you will need to enroll your child in daycare or to find a nanny. You don't have to wait until your child is born to start looking.  Daycare – Ask for friend's recommendations. Look for a daycare that is near your home or work, and which offers flexible pick-up and drop-off times. Visit and talk to the staff about their philosophies on childcare and discipline. Nanny – Nannies are more expensive, but they also offer more flexibility for working parents. To cut the cost, consider a nanny-share. These work best if the children are about the same age and the parents have similar child-raising philosophies, so choose people you know, or be sure to interview both the nanny and the parents you will be sharing with. Partner - Your partner's company may have better leave policies than your own. If your partner can get paid leave, then consider having him or her stay home with the baby while you transition back to work. Knowing your partner is home with the baby can make for a much less stressful transition than sending your child to daycare. Don't forget the little things. It's best to take any personal belongings you treasure home, as you can't be certain they won't be disturbed. In some cases, another worker might even be using your desk when you're gone, so be sure to also remove personal files like performance reviews. And don't forget to set out-of-office messages that tell the caller or emailer who they can contact in your absence.
Summary:
Plan out how you will divide up your current responsibilities. Inform your coworkers. Talk with clients and other outside contacts. Bring as many projects to a close as possible. Make plans to stay in touch. Consider your reentry strategy in advance. Remove personal property from your desk and set your out-of-office voice and email.
