In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: While this approach maybe isn't as proactive as you'd like, it may be your only option if local laws aren't on your side. You may just need to close your curtains when you notice the exhibitionism is happening, and look away when you're outside. As an added bonus, if your neighbor gets a thrill out of you looking, maybe they'll be less thrilled if nobody is watching. Another option is to go inside when you notice the person is exposing themselves while you're outdoors. This step is especially effective if you're outside with your kids. You can keep them from seeing what's going on next door by removing them from the area. Another option is to build a fence tall enough so that you can't see your neighbor's house. Of course, that's more difficult if your neighbor has a two-story house, but it can be effective for one-story houses. Also, a high fence around your backyard can keep your kids from seeing what's going on nearby. If your kids are exposed to your neighbor, you need to have a talk with them. Explain that what the person is doing is seen as something that should be kept private, and it's best not to look, as that will only encourage the person more. You could say, "That person has a problem. They are showing something publicly that we know should be kept private. We can't change what that person is doing, but we can control how we react. The best reaction is to ignore the person and try not to look."
Summary: Close your curtains. Go inside. Consider building a fence. Talk to your kids.

Sizing glue is a liquid adhesive that artists apply to canvas to prevent oil paints from seeping into the fibers. Apply the glue to your canvas with a small brush using short strokes. Then, leave it to dry for about 12 hours.  If you’re using an oil paint, you’ll definitely need to size your canvas before you apply your primer. If you’re painting with acrylic, sizing the canvas is optional. You can buy sizing glue at any art supply store that also sells gesso. Simply put, you should use acrylic gessos if you’re painting with acrylic paint, oil gessos if you’re painting with oils, and so on. Many acrylic gessos can be used with both acrylic and oil paints, so you’re probably safe to stick with an acrylic primer for your project. You can buy the different types of gesso at any art supply store. Read the product label to find out what types of paint each gesso works with. The white gesso background will subtly show through the colors of your painting, making them appear lighter and softer. You can make the colors of your painting even lighter by starting to paint while the gesso is still wet. White gesso is also the most common color variety of primer for canvas painting, since white is an easy background to paint on. This is especially useful if you’re painting a portrait or a still-life image. The colors that you use will look more brilliant against a dark background.  The color of gesso that you use should depend on the mood you’re trying to strike. For instance, if you’re painting a landscape, consider using an earthy color like umber or dark blue. Note that colored gessos tend to be more expensive and are sometimes harder to find than traditional white gessos. You can also choose to make your own colored gesso by mixing acrylic paint with a standard white primer. Vary the amount of paint that you add to the gesso to change the final color. Student grade gesso is more watery than artist grade, but it will get the job done if you’re just trying to paint a simple painting. Student grade primers are usually only available in white, so they may be your best bet if you want a white background for your painting. Student grade gesso is cheaper than artist grade because it contains more filler and less pigment. Artist grade gesso will give your painting a “toothier” finish, meaning that it will look more textured and a bit rough. Most colored gessos are also artist grade, so if you want to use a colored gesso, you’ll probably have to go with artist grade (unless you want to mix it yourself).

Use white gesso if you want the colors of your painting to appear lighter. Choose colored gesso if you want your colors to look sharper. Opt for student grade gesso if you just want cheap, white primer. Choose artist grade gesso if you want a higher quality primer.

Problem: Article: Once you have provided adequate support, psychoeducation of the compulsion of hoarding may be the best first step in helping your loved one. Understand that hoarding is associated with excessive clutter, difficulty discarding items, and excessive acquisition of new items. Due to the emergence of hoarding behaviors, a new diagnosis of Hoarding Disorder (HD) was added to the most recent and updated version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is the basis for diagnosing mental health concerns.  First and foremost, hoarding can cause health and safety risks. Explain to your loved one that hoarding is dangerous because: it may prevent you from being able to escape in an emergency, does not adhere to fire codes, and can lead to mold and other harmful buildup in the home. It can also cause complications in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as walking, moving around, finding objects, eating, sleeping, and using the sink or bathroom.  Hoarding can lead to social isolation, disruption of relationships, legal and financial issues, debt, and property damage.  Some issues that may coincide with hoarding behaviors include negative and unhelpful thoughts such as perfectionism and fear of regretting removal of information or objects, over-attachment to material items, reduced attention abilities, and lowered capacity to make decisions. Being assertive means saying how you think and feel while being respectful and appropriate. Discuss how you feel about your loved one’s hoarding, and the specific concerns that you have about your loved one’s health and safety. Explain your concerns and set boundaries. Explain that you will not continue to live or be in the house if it is unsafe or unsanitary (if this is feasible). Tell your loved one that you are willing to help her if she is open to assistance. Be aware that people who hoard can have very strong emotional reactions when asked to give away their belongings. Assess the level of openness to your assistance. You could say something like, "I know you've been concerned about your hoarding and I am also. I am here to help if you want it. What do you think?" If the individual responds negatively and says something like, "Absolutely not, I don't want you forcing me to throw away my prized possessions," you may want to back off for a while. If the individual says something like, "I might be open to that," give your loved one some space to decide if she is willing to let you help. You can revisit the conversation at a later time. Individuals who hoard need specific goals to work toward in order to be successful in reducing hoarding behaviors. This helps them to organize their thinking and plans associated with reducing their hoarding. People who hoard may need help with motivation, organizing, avoiding acquiring items and removing clutter. Write down the specific goals you have developed with your loved one. This list might look like: reduce clutter, be able to move through the living room with ease, stop buying new items, and organize the attic.
Summary:
Educate the individual who hoards. Use assertive communication. Offer your help. Help set goals.
