Problem: Article: Knowing that everyone is working toward something can help boost team unity. Have your team set goals together and talk about how you can meet these goals. Write down the goals and put them somewhere where everyone can see them easily. For example, a sports team might make a goal to win a tournament or title. Committing to the goal can help the team feel united in reaching this goal. Have each person write down how they are willing or able to contribute to achieving the goal. This can help them recognize how they contribute to the team and will aid in achieving the goal. Team building can bring members together in a fun way. Do a ropes course, create a painting, or take a cooking class together. You can also encourage members to teach or experience something they're knowledgeable about to others. For example, if one person loves hiking, have them take everyone on a short hiking trip. The activities should encourage team members to feel empowered and engaged as a group. Choose activities that most people will view as positive and not scary or too challenging. Doing team-building activities also provides a social setting to help people to get to know each other better. People should feel happy about meeting with their teammates and not dread their time together. Start practice or meetings with a fun activity or some brief socializing. Feeling connected and positive about the group can help teammates enjoy themselves and look forward to coming together. If meetings or practice get too serious, take a break. Take turns telling jokes or funny stories. When a teammate is facing something difficult, show them that the team cares by sending flowers or a card. Encourage the team members to acknowledge each other's strengths. Giving and receiving positive praise will make each person feel valued and appreciated. Set aside some time to volunteer as a group. This might mean going to a soup kitchen or an animal shelter. Whatever activity you choose, encourage all team members to attend to help your local community. Not only will they be doing something helpful, they can also bond as a team. Conflicts inevitably arise when people work together. When conflict occurs, work through it as a team. Ask for solutions and feedback from everyone and ensure that everyone feels heard and understood. While conflict can be difficult to move through, feeling understood can help team members know they are important and considered. Conflicts should be addressed as quickly as possible to prevent anger or resentment from building up. It can be helpful to address the conflict first with the people involved, then with the entire team once the matter has been resolved. This fosters open communication and problem-solving skills.
Summary: Set team goals. Engage in team building. Create a positive atmosphere around the team. Volunteer together. Work through conflicts.

Problem: Article: If you have adopted a child from outside of the United States, you will need to get him a social security number by applying to the Social Security Office. Download and print Form SS-5 from the Social Security Administration's website. To fill out this application, you will be required to provide information about the parents of the child (social security number, address, and phone number). You will need to show some proof of the child's identity when applying for a Social Security Number. You can use one of the following documents for this purpose: An adoption record A United States Department of Homeland Security immigration document Hospital or doctor records Daycare or school records Religious records (such as a baptismal record) For an adopted child, you will also need an original copy of your child's foreign or U.S. birth certificate and adoption decree. This will attest to the child's age. The most common documents used to prove identity are a U.S. driver's license, a state-issued identification card or a U.S. passport. If these documents are not available, you may use an employee identification card, a school identification card, a marriage document, adoption decree, life insurance policy or a U.S. military identification card. The identification document needs to have a recent photograph of the parent. You must submit your application in person. Find your local Social Security Office by visiting the Social Security Administration website or calling 1-800-772-1213. Be sure to check the hours for the office. They may have limited hours on certain days of the week. Take the SS-5 form and all necessary documents to the proper Social Security office. If you are in the middle of an international adoption, you do not need to have your child's Certificate of Citizenship in order to obtain a Social Security Number. You must, however, provide this document to the Social Security Administration when you receive it. It may be more convenient to wait to apply for a Social Security Number until you receive your child's Certificate of Citizenship. If your taxes are due, however, it might make sense to apply immediately for the Social Security Number. Remember to show the Certificate of Citizenship to the Social Security Office when you receive it. Once the Social Security Administration processes your application, you will be issued a new card. It will be sent to your house in the mail.
Summary: Download and print the SS-5 application form. Fill out the form. Provide an identity document for the child. Provide proof of age for the child. Bring picture identification for the child's adoptive parent or parents. Find your local Social Security Office. Submit your application to the Social Security Office. Be sure to follow up with a Certificate of Citizenship. Wait for your card to arrive by mail.

Problem: Article: These are the two types of water filters available for home use. POE systems treat all of the water that enters your home and connects to the water meter or pressurized storage tank. POU systems, however, treat water at the point where it is being consumed, such as a shower head or sink. POU filters can be attached externally or can be installed inline. POU filters that are installed inline filter all the water passing through a pipe. These types of filters are very common and come in many different formats. POU filters include pitcher filters, personal water bottles with built-in filters, and refrigerator filters. They can be mounted to a faucet, under the sink, or the countertop. Smaller carafe-style pitcher filters are good for single people or couples since they only filter a small amount of drinking water at a time. Some people do not like filters attached to their countertop or faucet; see which style of POU filter suits you best. This will help you decide if you need to target any specific contaminants when choosing a filtering system. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires water companies to provide a consumer confidence report (CCR) every year, which analyzes the water quality in your area. The information is available on your local government website or newspaper. If you want to test the water yourself, call the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791) for the names of state-certified testing labs, which may offer low-cost or free test kits. You can also go to www.epa.gov/safewater/labs to find out more information. Visible particles in your water can be rust or sediment, and houses that rely on wells often have bacteria in the water. The contaminates your water has will depend on your home. You may discover you do not need a water filter at all because your water contains no contaminants. If you have a family that drinks several gallons of water a day, a single carafe-style filter would need to constantly be refilled, but a smaller family or couple's water needs would be met by a simple filter. If the contaminates in your water are very toxic, you probably want a POE filter to clean all the coming into your house water. On the other hand, if you are only filtering the water for taste, a POU filter on the faucet will suffice. Research the different options. Consider talking to a Certified Water Treatment Professional.
Summary:
Learn about the POE and POU systems. Learn about the different types of POU systems available. Find out what's contaminating your water. Evaluate your specific water filtration needs based on the contaminants in your water and the POE and POU systems.
