Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use an HVLP sprayer for surfaces where it is important to avoid streaks. Test sprayer on piece of wood or cardboard to practice sweeping motion and determine most effective tip. Paint surface with sweeping motions that overlap last sweep by 50%. Clean sprayer by flushing with lightly soaped water.

Answer: The HVLP, like the Airless Spray Gun, consists of a paint reservoir, a hose, compressor, and gun with a variety of tips.. The high volume (HV) in the sprayer applies more paint, and it does so at low pressure (LP), thereby, reducing overspray.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Spend some time self-indulgently thinking about who you really are. Let go of what society says is acceptable. Make a list of truths about yourself. Think about your own family history and culture. Fire your toxic friends. Quit the games now.

Answer: Not the façade you put on before you walk into any given group of people, not even the image you give your family, or your closest friends. Get alone and meditate on you.  Who are you when you're alone? If it sparks your interest, try meditating. It can reduce your stress levels to enable better mental clarity. This may enable you to see yourself in a clearer manner. Everyday we see images of what is "okay." It changes constantly (which proves it doesn't really exist). To be you, you must give up trying to live up to some non-existent standard. There's no more being a prep or a jock or a hipster and there's just being. Labels are the way society defines us. There's no more carrying that Coach purse because it says "Coach" on it. You need a better reason than that! Throw away your aspirations of fitting into any select group, clique, or social class. If the genuine you is what they are looking for, they will come calling later, when you have established your true identity. Unfortunately, in today's world we're so bombarded with what society expects of us that sometimes we don't even know who we are. We spend years (sometimes decades, sometimes entire lifetimes) molding ourselves to fit someone else's idea of who we should be, burying who we really are under layers of fluff and masks. Take a minute to write down what actually feels like you. It can be things you do, things you are, or things you think -- it could be anything, so long as it's true. When you have a list of a dozen or so things (as simple as "I am happier in flip flops" or "I seek adventure above all else"), post it somewhere you'll run into it often. Then, when you go to make a comment or when you're reviewing your day, you can see if your behavior is in line with you who really are. Odds are you'll come up with some things you do/say/think that aren't true to you. We may not always like where we come from, but there is no escaping the influence our history has on who and what we are. Many people spend a lot of time and effort escaping their past, such as changing the spelling of their names to sound more politically correct, or giving other people too much power to reshape them culturally. Where do you come from? After all, your parents shaped you greatly and your grandparents shaped them. Think about the following:  Your upbringing. What do you remember most vividly about it? How was it different than most people's? Your location. How did that shape you? What hobbies and personality traits do you have because of it? Your likes and dislikes. How many of them are shared with your family? How many do you have because of your family? It's a natural human inclination to strive to be surrounded by people...even when those people drain us. But to really be genuine, to rediscover a you that is happy and natural, those people that leave you exhausted after interacting with them have to be cut out. That's all there is to it. Give yourself thirty seconds to think about it and you'll know exactly who they are.  There are people in the world that just aren't good for us. It's hard to cut them out, especially when we feel like we're being cruel. But it's important not to view this behavior as selfish. Sure, it's in your best interest -- but if you don't act in your best interest, no one will. You're not being selfish, you're being logical. Forget all the hyped up latest trends unless they fit the genuine you. They last a matter of months -- why would you want to cycle through identities that quickly? Look at your own style and preferences. If a T-shirt and jeans are you, fanfrickin'tastic. It's easy to think we're honest and sincere -- but in order to function tactfully and appropriately with others, it seems like we've inserted mind games into everyday interactions. That little white lie we tell Gina about how people actually like her, how we hint at asking for something from a friend because we think it's bad manners to ask for too many favors, etc. We're not being us -- we're being who people think we should be. Gotta cut that out. The two main sticklers are people-pleasing and avoidance. If you find yourself sacrificing your happiness to please others, that first one describes you. And if you avoid saying or doing things simply because they'd be frowned upon or they might be potentially embarrassing, that's the second. Those little voices inside our heads stopping us aren't us -- they're a part of us that's very much so taught and inorganic.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Understand why he's angry. Create structure. Ensure he gets lots of sleep. Make him feel like part of the family. Communicate with him effectively. Help him understand responsibility. Pick your battles. Realize friends have more influence than you. Enforce the rules. Recognize the warning signs.

Answer:
Teenage boys experience surges in their hormones (testosterone), which can have an effect on their ability to feel fear and causes them to loose their inhibitions.  In turn, this can cause them to engage in dangerous activities simply because they aren’t able to process how dangerous it is.  And, they tend to allow their emotions, especially anger, to rule their reactions. Teenage boys need structure in their lives, overseen and directed by their parents.  This structure is not due to a lack of trust, but rather the biological fact that teenage boys haven’t yet developed the brain function to make safe choices based on the possible consequences.  As the parent, work with your teenage son to develop a daily routine for them.  Make sure he’s involved in the process, but ensure the end result is what he needs. Sleep is vital at any age, but teenagers need between 8 and 10 hours of sleep every night in order to be functional.  Ideally, they should develop a regular sleep pattern.  A sleep pattern can help increase the quality of the sleep they get.  Not getting enough sleep can slow down many of his abilities - such as the ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems.  It can also cause him to forget very simple items like someone’s phone number, or when homework is due. A lack of sleep can cause health problems, including acne.  And can cause him to consume more unhealthy items like coffee or soda. Not getting enough sleep can also affect his behaviour, causing him to become irritable or angry faster than he would normally.  He may end up being mean or rude to someone that he'll regret later. The anger felt by a teenage boy may make him feel as if you (their parents) don’t trust him.  You need to make him feel that he's trusted, and loved, while teaching him the importance of family and community.  Encourage him to participate in family events and volunteer in the community. Teach him about responsible financial management. Show him how to be respectful of other people, their rights and their property. Rather than telling him what you want him to do, ask him.  When making rules, allow him to be a part of the process. Teen boys need more than simple verbal reminders or instructions in order to comprehend what is needed or required of them.  In addition to verbally providing him with instructions, also do the following:  Make eye contact when providing instructions. Ask him to repeat what you’ve told them. Use short and simple sentences. Allow him to respond and ask questions. Don’t turn instructions into a lecture. Responsibility can be learned in multiple ways.  Many teenagers can learn responsibility from example - by watching and mimicking responsible people.  But it can also be learned by making mistakes and incurring the consequences of irresponsible behaviour.  As corny as it sounds, the statement “with power comes great responsibility” is very true.  Teenagers need to learn that power, privilege and responsibility are all connected.  The best place for them to learn this is from their parents. Teens, in general, change often.  For example, their fashion changes with the trends.  As a parent, you might not be able to keep up, and you might be shocked by some of the clothes your teen decides to wear.  While you may be tempted to make rules regarding clothes, keep in mind that you may also want to save your battle for something much more important (like drinking, drugs, curfew, etc.). Another change teens experience often is related to their mood.  Many of their mood swings are driven by the hormonal and developmental changes.  In some cases, they may not have complete control over their emotions, or their reactions. In the teenage years, your son’s friends will most likely have more influence over his actions and behaviours than you do.  It’s not because he doesn't love or respect you, he's just trying to find his way in the world.  Try not to take this personally, and try not to get angry.  Your anger towards him may cause him to withdraw further from you, and in turn, cause you to withdraw from him.  He may not act like it, but he still need your support. Teens are known for trying to push the limits, with you and with others.  One way he may do this is by trying to get away with breaking the rules (e.g. how much later can he come home after curfew before you say something).  It’s important that your enforce the rules you’ve made, or those limits will continue to be tested.  It may also influence how your teen reacts to rules outside the home.  You want to set a good example of how important rules are, and that they need to be followed. ‘Normal’ teenage behaviour is one thing, but some teenage behaviour can indicate a much more serious problem.  Watch for signs of more serious problems, and seek professional help as soon as possible.  Extreme amounts of weight loss or weight gain. Ongoing sleep problems. Rapid, drastic and long-lasting changes in personality. Sudden change in close friends. Skipping school and falling grades. Any form of talk about suicide. Signs of smoking, or alcohol and drug abuse. Constantly getting in trouble at school, or with the police.
