Problem: Article: Repairs to materials that contain asbestos usually involved either sealing or covering the area to prevent fibers from being released into the air. With such a dangerous carcinogen present, it might seem strange to repair it instead of removing it, but repair is actually the safest option. Removing the materials tends to disturb them more, posing a greater health risk, while repairing the materials to contain the asbestos allows you to live with the materials safely. Repairs should be conducted by a certified professional to ensure they are done properly. In most cases, a special sealant or covering is applied to the area to keep it from breaking down. Floors containing asbestos might be covered with new flooring to keep fibers from entering the air. Repairs are less expensive than removal, and usually the best all-around option. However, if the materials are already quite damaged, and they'll eventually need to be removed, it's better to spring for removal right away. Applying a sealant or covering can make it more difficult to remove the materials later. After repairs have been conducted, it's still important to be careful around the materials that contain asbestos. Be cautious around the materials in question so you don't end up disturbing them and releasing the asbestos fibers. Take the following measures to live safely with asbestos: Keep activities to a minimum in the areas that have asbestos. For example, if the walls in your basement contain asbestos, don't spend more time than necessary there. Don't saw, sand, scrape, drill, or otherwise damage materials that contain asbestos, even after sealant has been applied. Don't use abrasive cleaning materials on materials that have asbestos. Don't vacuum or sweep debris on the floor that might contain asbestos. If further damage occurs, have it repaired by a professional. If you'd simply prefer not to have asbestos-containing materials in the building, you can opt for removal instead of repair. Hire a contractor who has been trained by the EPA. The removal process is more dangerous than the repair process, and if done improperly it can pose a serious health risk to individuals using the building.
Summary: Have the disturbed material repaired. Live safely with materials that contain asbestos. Consider asbestos removal.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The entire team needs to be on track toward the same set of goals. Create a clear objective that the team can agree on and actively work toward. Explain in clear terms how the team's degree of success will be evaluated. Make sure that your objectives are challenging yet realistic. If your expectations are too high to meet, the morale of the team will drop. You will need to refer to the objectives you set throughout the lifespan of the team. When the team must make a decision, evaluate the options by determining which are most closely aligned to your overall goal. Work with your team to plan out the steps you will need to follow to achieve your group objective. Make sure that these steps are described in clear, precise terms so that everyone is on the same page. Each stepping stone in your plan should be necessary. Do not create a bloated plan filled with nonsensical steps simply for the sake of having an impressively large plan. Be in constant communication with your team and never allow them to feel uncomfortable about approaching you. Try to answer questions before or as soon as they arise. Keep your teammates informed about each new development and change as it happens. Leaving someone in the dark is a sure-fire way to make that individual confused and unproductive. Your team members should have a clear, precise understanding of how you think, make decisions, and measure performance. They also need to know how you expect them to work. Without knowledge on all these points, they would be unable to meet your expectations even if they wanted to do so. Your team needs to see that you are open to good advice and eager for their active involvement. Before making any major decision, talk it over with the team as a group and ask for their thoughts. When teammates feel listened to, they are more likely to lend their support to the final plan. Make sure that everyone has a chance to share ideas, concerns, and suggestions before taking any major step. Every team of people will have its own group dynamic unlike that of any other team. Watch for the patterns and habits of your team before making decisions that will affect the team as a whole. You should also look for patterns within the broader realm your team must work in, regardless of whether it is an industry, organization, or league. Only by having all of the facts can you make the wisest decisions. Quick action can demonstrate your ability to lead, but if those actions make matters worse, you will lose your team members' trust and confidence. Even though you should involve your team as much as possible in the decision-making process, ultimately, you are the leader. That means you'll need to make the final decision when all else is said and done. Aside from establishing your authority, there is an even greater practical reason for being the final decision-maker: you will probably have a greater idea of what is and isn't achievable with respect to the team's resources. Your team members can dream of the possibilities, but you need to be more grounded in reality.

SUMMARY: Establish an objective. Construct a plan. Clear confusion before it develops. Ask for input. Look for patterns before making decisions. Make the final decision.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. When the mixture boils and the sugar is dissolved, remove the pan from the heat. Set it aside and let the syrup cool for about an hour. As the syrup cools, remove the lid from the juice and orange peel mixture. Prepare a fine-mesh strainer by lining it with cheesecloth and placing it over a clean bowl. Strain the juice through the cheesecloth to remove the orange peels and spices. Discard the peels and cloves. You can also use a disposable coffee filter to strain the mixture if you don't have cheesecloth. When the syrup has cooled to room temperature, pour it into the bowl with the strained orange-infused juice mixture. Add blue food coloring in five-drop increments, stirring with a long spoon after each addition. Continue adding color until your blue curacao reaches the desired shade of blue. Clean the mason jar that you used to infuse your orange base. Once all the ingredients have been combined, return the blue mixture to the mason jar. Cover the jar and return the mixture to its cool and dry spot. Leave the mixture to settle for another 24 hours. This final rest will allow all of the ingredients and flavors to properly marry and combine. After 24 hours, you can transfer the mixture to a pourable bottle. Clean an old glass bottle with soap and water to remove any residue. Rinse the bottle and let it air dry. Fit a funnel into the neck of the bottle and pour the blue curacao from the mason jar into the bottle. Once the blue curacao is in a pourable bottle with a tight-fitting lid, it's ready to enjoy. You can drink it on its own, on ice, or in your favorite drinks and cocktails. Screw on the lid tightly and store leftovers in the refrigerator for about two months.
Summary:
Make a simple syrup. Strain the juice. Combine the juice, syrup, and food coloring. Let the mixture rest for a day. Transfer to a bottle. Serve and enjoy!
