Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Create cross-ventilation. Protect the floor. Protect yourself. Choose your paint stripper.

Answer: Generally, you need chemicals to remove polyurethane. Because these chemicals are often harsh, you need good ventilation to protect yourself. If you can, go outside to work. If you're working on floors, create cross-ventilation to help keep you safer. To create cross-ventilation, open the doors and windows in the room. Also, it's a good idea to set up one fan blowing inward and one fan blowing towards the outside to get the air moving. If you're working on a piece of furniture inside, you should put something down to shield the floor from drips. A plastic tarp underneath the piece of furniture should work well to provide protection. You can tape down the edges if you're worried about tripping. Paint stripper can do a number on you if you're not careful. You'll need rubber gloves to protect your hands. Wear goggles to protect your eyes. Finally, you'll need a vapor ventilator mask, also known as a respirator, available at hardware stores, so you don't inhale the fumes. You should also wear closed-toed shoes, long sleeves, and pants if possible. Chemical-based paint strippers, such as those with methylene chloride, are very effective. However, they're also more harsh on your skin and can cause respiratory problems if you're not careful. If you're worried about the effects, you can use water-based strippers instead, though they do take much longer to work.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Let go of fear. Try something new once a week. Learn everything you can. Follow your plan! Change the part of your life that brings you down the most. Surround yourself with supportive and inspiring people.

Answer: Stop worrying about whether or not you can do something and just do it.  The number one regret of the terminally ill, as reported by a palliative nurse, was not being courageous enough to ignore others' expectations and live their own lives.  Focus on being curious rather than anxious.  You don't always know where life will take you. Erase any expectations you have about pulling it off. The journey itself is a big part of discovering what fulfills you. Big or small, keep trying out new things.  Most people find their passions in their free time by doing things they are interested in and sometimes discover something else they want to do more.  At least once a month, do something significant you've never done before to broaden your perspective.  Go on a trip to a place you've never visited. Try out a different type of cuisine. Pick up a new hobby to see if you like it. Look into careers that interest you.  Read as much as you can about them.  Study those you admire that live their lives with passion.  Take a class—in person or online—in that field. Interview current professionals to find out what their real-world jobs are like and how they got there. Did it require a special degree or years of training? Make as many mistakes as you possibly can. You learn from them. In developing your passion, you created a plan for action.  Make sure you are following it consistently.    Check that your plan had a series of smaller goals that are achievable in short time-frames. Keep track of your progress and achievements in your journal. Write down how each step went, what you learned, and what, if anything, you need to change about future actions. Update your plan with new information as necessary. What is most frustrating about your life right now? Is it your job, your personal relationships, where you live?  Isolate the primary cause of your lackluster outlook on life so that you can address it effectively.  Be specific about why you are unhappy with this situation.  Was there a time when you were happy with these things?  If so, you may have forgotten why you made these choices in the first place. If the main problem is that the wonder and awe has worn off, look for something new and exciting that wasn't there before instead of scrapping a good part of your life. Keep in touch with those you love.   Don't get too busy to connect with people that are most important to you.  Pick 3 or 4 people to be on your board of supporters.'  Maybe an expert in the field, a close friend, others pursuing similar interests, and yourself, of course!  Don't just think about what these people can do to help you; ask yourself how you can give back, as well.  Part of our self-esteem comes from feeling valuable to others.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Change replaceable air filters twice a year. Clean reusable air filters twice a year. Clean the drain.

Answer: To change the filter, remove the metal grate which covers the filter. Then pull out the air filter, and set in a replacement unit. The air filter is located indoors, and will typically be close to the evaporator unit. It’s about two feet (0.6 meters) wide and 1 foot (0.3 meters) high. Over time, the air filter will become clogged and dirty with all of the dust and dirt particles that it has filtered out of the air. A dirty filter will obstruct airflow within the AC system, and will cause the system to function with much less efficiency. If your AC unit’s air filter can be washed and reused, you can simply clean it and place it back in the unit rather than disposing it and purchasing a new one. To clean your reusable filter, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Most reusable filters are cleaned by running them under lukewarm tap water, and a gentle application of dish soap. To quickly tell a disposable from a reusable air filter, inspect the material it’s made from. Disposable filters will be made of thick, papery material, while reusable filters are made of a rubbery frame and metal mesh. As the evaporator unit cools and de-humidifies air from outside, it produces runoff liquid. In most air conditioner units, this air runs down from the top of the evaporator in a thin, plastic pipe, and runs through a drain in the floor. To make sure that the drain hasn’t gotten clogged, you can run a stiff wire through the drain.  If the plastic pipe is flexible, poke the wire into the bottom of the pipe as well, to make sure that it’s not clogged. In some more modern units, the pipe which drains water runs directly into the floor, and does not have a drain. In this case, you do not need to clean the setup. Call a AC professional cleaner—or your landlord—if you notice water pooling around the base of the evaporator unit, or see water-damaged flooring nearby.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get immediate help if you experience symptoms. Start treatment for the underlying cause. Make kidney-friendly dietary changes. Ask your doctor if you need dialysis.

Answer:
Acute kidney failure is usually diagnosed in people who are already hospitalized. However, if you’re not in the hospital, have a common underlying cause of kidney failure, and experience symptoms, you’ll need to see a doctor immediately.  Common causes of acute kidney failure include injury, blood clots, urethral blockages, severe dehydration, drug overdose, alcohol abuse, and infection. Symptoms of kidney failure include urination changes (such as producing little or no urine), fatigue or sluggish movements, metallic taste in your mouth, pain between your ribs and hips, seizures, and swelling due to water retention, especially in your legs, ankles and feet. Your doctor will need to perform tests to diagnose the underlying cause. They’ll then clear a blockage or clot, administer antibiotics, or take other steps to treat the underlying condition. While treating the underlying cause, you’ll receive medication to help control your fluid levels and blood potassium. During and after treatment, you’ll need to eat more healthy carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables. You’ll also need to limit the amounts of protein, salt, and potassium in your diet.  High protein foods include red meat, poultry, and eggs. Instead of these, you’d need to eat more fruits, vegetables, and foods that are high in fiber, like brown rice, lentils, and raspberries.   You’ll also need to swap high potassium foods, such as bananas, oranges, and potatoes, for low potassium options, such as apples, cabbage, grapes, green beans, and strawberries.  Always read the label on prepackaged and processed foods to make sure you’re not eating things with high amounts of sodium. Some people who experience acute kidney failure require dialysis, which is a procedure that filters blood when your kidneys can’t function. It’s often only temporary, but cases of severe kidney damage might require long-term dialysis.
