INPUT ARTICLE: Article: It's obvious to any employer that if you're working a side business, you're a self-starter. So simply by founding your side business, you will appear more attractive to employers. You can prove just how driven you truly are by making your side business successful. Grow your side business by adding employees, increasing revenues, placing advertisements, and securing grants. This experience will help you when you decide to switch to a better-paying job or seek a raise. If your main employer sees your side business as a distraction from your main career, redouble your efforts in your main career and limit conversation regarding the side business. If possible, find another employer who correctly perceives that your side business indicates that you are possessed of dynamism and creativity. If you have a side business especially a side business that you could scale you will be less tied down by your main career. This allows you to take bigger risks in your main career that could pay off down the line. For instance, if you did not have a side business, you might feel disinclined to propose a daring idea at work, or to offer criticism of a certain individual or company policy. But if you have a side business, you should feel that you have more leeway at work. As the proud proprietor of a side business, you will then be able to free yourself of the strictures that previously limited your ability to express yourself or "think outside the box." Being less tied to your main career might also mean that your risks lead to recklessness. Second-guess yourself and run your plans and projects by others if you think that your side business is starting to undermine your ability to make rational decisions in your main career. Ask a superior or coworker, "What do you think I need to work on?" or "Do you mind looking over this project? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on what I'm doing." The newfound freedom you have in your main career, coupled with the financial rewards that come from running a side business, will boost your confidence. The confidence boost you gain by running a side business can help you handle criticism well and work without constant praise. Employers appreciate these qualities. A confident attitude, therefore, can help you advance your main career. Plus, with increased confidence, you might feel more willing to apply for a promotion or change jobs to advance your career. To operate with greater confidence in your main career, remind yourself regularly how great your side business is. Reflect on how, despite the sacrifices of time and energy it requires, your role as leader of your side business energizes you and gives you greater confidence in yourself.

SUMMARY: Prove that you're driven. Adjust your relationship with management. Act with great freedom in your main career. Get the feedback you need. Operate with greater confidence.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Copper tubing used for plumbing piping is available sized nominally, meaning that the outside diameter of the tubing is 1/8" (0.125 inches) larger than its stated size. In other words, 1" nominal copper tubing measures 1.125" inches in diameter. If you need to cut the pipe for your project, make sure that you use a tube cutter, clamping the pipe firmly and rotating the cutter around the pipe. It should take about 8 turns. Most nominally-sized copper tubing is available in four weights, or wall thicknesses, which is color-coded. Typically, though, residential projects will involve copper tubing of either Type L or M. Type L tubing is marked with a blue tag and is typically the most commonly used in commercial/residential installations. Type M is marked red and has the lightest wall that can be used for a pressurized system. Depending on your project, you'll probably need some combination of the following: Male/Female adapters, which are used to join a solder pipe to a threaded pipe. Reducing adapters, which are used to go from a larger size pipe to a smaller size. Elbow joints, which are used to turn corners, typically 90 degree bends, but also available in 45 degree bends. Tees and crosses, which are used to join a branch tubing to the main tubing, using a tee, or two branches in the case of a "cross." For potable water systems, lead-free solid core solder must be used. It is typically 95/5 (95% tin and 5% antimony), or an alloy of tin and a small amount of copper and/or silver, commonly sold in one pound rolls of 1/8" diameter wire. Solder with lead must not be used for potable water systems. This is typically a jelly with a zinc chloride or rosin cleaning component used to cover the cleaned surfaces of the copper to be soldered before assembly and heating. It is the function of the flux, upon heating, to facilitate further cleaning, exclude atmospheric oxygen, prevent re-oxidation, and to aide in wetting out the solder. Typically, a traditional electric soldering iron won't be hot enough to work with copper tubing. You'll need a heat source of sufficient output capacity to heat the assembled fittings and tubing to a temperature above that required to melt the filler solder, typically 400 to 500F (204 to 260C). For this reason, a propane/air, or acetylene/air torch fitted with a tip of appropriate size is most often used. Clean, dry cotton rags and a spray bottle full of water will complete the necessary soldering materials.
Summary: Get copper tubing of appropriate diameter. Make sure the tubing is of the proper wall thickness for your project. Get the proper connectors and joints for the system you are building. Select solder. Obtain the appropriate solder flux. Get a heat source.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This briefly describes the content of your report and answers the question "What did you do, why did you do it, and what did you learn?" It should not be longer than a half page. You may find it easier to write the abstract after you've finished the body of the paper. However, the abstract will come before the body in the final report. This section will provide some background information about the topic of your report. If you need to include a literature review, it will go here as well. In the introduction, describe the problem or topic your report investigated. This could be a scientific issue, such as the rate of growth of mealworms, or a current affairs topic, such as increased security in airports. Summarize relevant research, but don't let it take over the introduction. The bulk of your report should be your work, not discussion of others'. If you performed an experiment and are writing the report about it, describe your experiment in the introduction. In scientific writing, this is often presented in a section called "Methods." In this section, explain what procedures, materials, etc. you used. You can order your methods chronologically, starting with what you did first. Alternately, you can group them by type, which may work better for humanities research. Use past tense to describe the actions you took. In this section, you present your observations, or the results of your methods. You'll need to describe the experiment or procedure briefly (use less detail than you did in the Methods section) and report the main results. You can present the results in several different ways. You can organize them from most to least important, from simplest to more complex, or by type. Don't interpret your results here. You will do that in the next section. This is the meat of your report. It's where you analyze your results and tell the reader what they mean. Summarize the most important findings at the beginning of the discussion. You can go into further detail in subsequent paragraphs. Explain the relationship between your results and the previous scholarly literature. Note what additional research would help fill in gaps in your research or resolve any problems. Explain the broader relevance of your results. This is called answering the "So what?" question. What do your discoveries mean? Why are they useful and important? In some reports, you may be asked to wrap up with a separate conclusion that reminds the reader of the most important points. For many reports, however, you can conclude your report at the end of the Discussion section.

SUMMARY:
Start with the abstract. Write the introduction. Present your methods or the focus of your analysis. Present your results. Discuss your data.
