Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine if all locations within your home or office have low water pressure. Check the faucet if you only have low water pressure in a particular location. Look for other sources of low water pressure.

Answer: Check various locations that have faucets.  The kitchen, the bathroom, basement and outdoor faucets, and hose hookups are common areas where fixture specific low water pressure can occur. Run water in all faucets and showers in  your home to identify if there is are one or multiple problem problem areas or to determine that all locations have low water pressure. Run both hot and cold water through all faucets. If your water pressure is low only with hot water, the issue is likely your water heater. Your problem might only affect one or two locations. In this case, the source of the low water pressure is likely a clogged faucet or aerator.   Remove the end of the faucet. Examine your aerator. Check to make sure there are no debris or buildup. If the aerator needs to be cleaned, soak it in a water-vinegar solution. If that doesn't work, buy a replacement. These are very inexpensive. Aerators are sold with different rates of water flow, so you can also try buying one with a higher rate of flow. Turn the water on before you replace the aerator. If the water flow is not restored to normal, the source of low water pressure is likely not the specific faucet but an overall problem. If you can't pinpoint the cause of your low water pressure to just one or two faucets in the house, its probably an overall problem.  Check the PRV and water shut off valves in your home. This is often the cause of low water pressure.  Look for water leaks.  A leaking toilet or water main can cause low water pressure. Check your water heater. If you only have low water pressure when you are running hot water, it is likely due to your hot water shut-off valve on your water heater.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Grab a few paper tubes. Get your crafting gear ready. Trim your tubes to the perfect size. Add some flair to your tubes. Join the tubes together. Finish off your holder by adding a base.

Answer: If you know you want to make a pencil holder, start stock piling tubes from paper towels, toilet paper, aluminum foil, etc. You’ll need at least a few. The sturdier, the better -- choose thicker tubes, if you have them. This pencil holder project won’t require any unusual tools or supplies. If you’re used to crafting, you’ll probably already have most of the necessities. If not, you can easily get them from any hobby or craft store. In addition to your tubes, you’ll need:  Decorative supplies (paint, ribbon, paper, or whatever else you want to use) Scissors An X-acto knife A flat sheet of thin cardboard (such as from a cereal box) Mod Podge or glue If you are using longer tubes, you’ll need to cut them so that they’re not taller than your pencils. Stand a full-size pencil next to your tubes, and use scissors to cut the tube so that it’s at least an inch or two shorter than the pencil.  Cut as many tubes as you think you’ll need to hold the number of pencils you have. If you want some variation in your design, cut the tubes to slightly different lengths. While you’re at it, you can also designate some tubes to hold other supplies, like pens, scissors, or a ruler. If you want to keep small items (like paperclips) in any of the tubes, however, make sure to cut the tube fairly short so you’ll be able to reach the items. Plain cardboard tubes will be functional, but not very pretty. Adding some decorative touches is easy and will make your pencil holder instantly more classy. For instance, you could:  Paint the outside of the tubes Brush them with Mod Podge then wrap them in paper, ribbon, yarn, etc. Wrap the tubes in washi tape or decorative duct tape. Once you have your individual tubes decorated to your liking, stand them all up on their ends. Place them next to each other in various arrangements until you find one that looks good to you. Then apply a thin line of glue or Mod Podge just where each tube touches another. Hold the tubes together for a few seconds to set the glue, then add another line of glue to attach the next tube. For best results, arrange your tubes in some sort of cluster shape. This will keep the pencil holder sturdy. The paper tubes are open on both ends, and adding a base will keep them from accidentally falling out if you move or lift up your pencil holder. Luckily, this is quick and easy. Grab your sheet of thin cardboard. Apply glue or Mod Podge to the bottom of your tubes, then set the tube cluster on top of the cardboard.  Let the glue dry. Take an X-acto knife and trace around the edges of your tube cluster. This will remove the excess cardboard and give your pencil holder a clean look.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Decide  whether misconduct has really occurred. Schedule a meeting with the agent’s managing broker. Gather supporting documents. Meet with the broker. Request resolution. Ask to see a supervisor.

Answer: Difficulties in the relationship with a real estate agent often stem from a simple breakdown in communication.  Re-establishing communication may clear up any misunderstandings.  However, if you feel that your agent has deliberately lied or misled you about anything you consider material (e.g., the condition of a piece of property, the willingness of a seller or buyer, or the costs of services), you should pursue a complaint. Sometimes what strikes a seller as unprofessional conduct may seem minor to real estate professionals. Discuss your issue with an unbiased third party to gain another perspective. The broker is the party who owes you a fiduciary duty; the agent is merely the broker’s employee. You should therefore set up a meeting and make your complaints known. The agent may or may not be invited to attend.  Write out your complaints and all of the details that you remember. Take down the name of any witnesses as well as their telephone numbers. Practice explaining your complaint. You want to be precise and clear. Be firm but not angry. If you believe the broker violated the contract, take out your copy of the contract and highlight the section you believe has been violated. Although the agent’s manager has access to the contract, the meeting will go more smoothly if you bring as much supporting documentation as possible.  Other important documents include lease contracts, sales receipts, and communications between you and the agent. If you do not want the agent to attend, ask for him or her not to be present.  If possible, you should willingly agree to have the agent at the meeting. Problems can be resolved more quickly if the supervisor or manager has both sides of the story. You can also gently correct any errors the agent makes in describing his side of the story. Apart from merely lodging a complaint against an agent, you can ask the managing broker to resolve your problem. For example, if the agent did not disclose a defect in the house, you could ask for an offsetting reduction in agent fees. Be open to settlement. Accepting less than you want does not mean that you cannot still file a complaint with your state’s licensing board. If you feel the meeting did not go well, ask if there is anyone else you can meet with. In large real estate offices you probably will not meet with the president initially, so there should be someone else to talk to. Ask to move up the chain of command.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get a palette of grease paint or sweat-resistant costume paint. Use a makeup sponge. Get out something to blot with.

Answer:
If you want to make a really real looking bruise, costume paint is the way to go. When you buy a simple palette of colors, you'll have lots of options for making bruises that look so real everyone will believe you. Most costume makeup palettes will come with makeup sponges, instead of applicators or other brushes. These are the best ways for applying makeup to look like a bruise. If you don't have one, you can use part of a large, soft, yellow sponge that you might use for washing the car or some other purpose. Ask your parents if one is available. When you have your palette, put it on some newspaper and have some paper towels or other rags that you can use to blot the makeup with while you're working. It's important to be really light with costume makeup so that your bruise doesn't look fake.
