Article in English: Saltwater kills the bad bacteria on your teeth.  There is a rumor that saltwater is acidic and can erode teeth if used too often.  It's better not to use it too often, as, like anything, too much of anything is bad. For complete antibacterial protection rinse with a chlorhexidine mouthwash before going to bed, but do not use it for longer than two weeks in a row.

Article in English: Samsung phones are the only Androids that have an anonymous caller rejection setting. If you're using a non-Samsung Android phone, skip ahead to the Should I Answer app method instead. Tap the phone-shaped app on your Android's main screen. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. A drop-down menu will appear. You'll find this near the bottom of the drop-down menu. It's in the middle of the menu. This will open the call-blocking settings. It will turn blue. Your Samsung will now block any calls from unknown numbers.

Article in English: Sand fleas are most prominent in the early mornings and evenings when the temperature is slightly cooler. To prevent sand flea bites, head to the beach in the middle of the day. You may still get a few bites, but there will not be as many fleas out during this time. You should also avoid the beach when it is raining. Sand fleas are most active in cool and moist temperatures. Insect repellent may help to prevent sand fleas from biting. Prior to heading to the beach spray insect repellent on your feet, ankles, and legs. Follow the directions provided and look for a repellent that specifically mentions sand fleas. You may also want to have the repellent with you at the beach so that you can re-apply after swimming! A great way to prevent sand flea bites is by covering your legs, feet, and ankles. Sand fleas can only jump 20 to 40 cm (8-16 inches) so it is unlikely that you will get bit anywhere above the waist. While walking along the beach, wear light pants and sandals. If you are lying down on the sand, make sure to sit on a towel or blanket.

Не ходите на пляж на рассвете и на закате. Попробуйте опрыскать себя средством от насекомых. Закройте ноги, ступни и лодыжки.


Article in English: Sangria, which originates in Spain, is a classic wine punch that tastes delicious and will add a flair of the exotic at your next party. The classic combination consists of wine, chopped fruit, and brandy, but you can easily leave the brandy out for a quick combination to make at home. When pressed for time, you can leave out the sweetener and sugar and rely on the tart but fruity flavor of cranberry juice to give your drink sweetness and body. All you need to add to that is red wine and your favorite fruit. The best ratio consists of:  1 bottle of your favorite red wine. No need to splurge on expensive wine, because the flavors will be heavily masked by the juice and fruit. White wine can be used instead, in which case the result is often called sangria blanca. White wines tend to be sweeter and, therefore, you can adjust the mixer to taste. 1 - 2 cups fresh fruit pieces, such as orange, lemon, lime, apple, peach, melon, grapes. Cube the fruit into about half an inch pieces so it mixes well with the liquid while still keeping its substance. Experiment with different types of fruit and how they flavor the sangria. Fresh fruit will hold up best after long saturation in the liquid, maintaining a bit of crunch to keep the drink interesting. 2 cups of a mixer to dilute the wine. Any fruit juice or carbonated beverage can work, but be careful to consider the sweetness vs. the flavors of the fruit and wine. For an even more festive treat, add a carbonated beverage, such as 7 Up or Sprite, or seltzer water to give your drink a pleasant fizz. If you’re going to use a carbonated beverage, be sure to wait until just before serving to mix this in, as the bubbles will quickly dissipate. Immediately before serving, add ice to your carafe so the drink stays cool. Because of the fruit pieces, your choice of container is slightly more important than with other punches. A lid or other strainer will help you regulate the ratio of ice and fruit pieces in each glass. In Spain and other parts of Europe, sangria is often served...

Article in English: Sapphires come in blues, with the lightest being Sweden princess blue and the darkest being navy or black. The most prized color is royal blue, which is in the middle of the scale. As the most prized, however, it is also the most expensive. Camelot and commodore blues, which are one shade lighter and darker, respectively, are similar in hue but slightly more affordable. Blue sapphires can be pure blue, or they can be tinted by green or purple. By value, pure blue ranks highest with slight purple tints following shortly after. Strong purple hues and any green hue are generally considered undesirable. Transparency is often overlooked when buying sapphires, but the more transparent a stone is, the more brilliant it will look. Transparent stones can also be expensive, though. Fully transparent and semi-transparent stones allow the most light to pass through. Translucent sapphires allow light to pass through, but obscure objects, making it a good compromise between transparency quality and budget. Semi-opaque and opaque stones allow little to no light to pass through. While blue is the most common color for a sapphire, these gemstones also come in several other colors. Padparadscha sapphires, which are orange-pink, are rare and considered valuable. Pink sapphires are also popular.  Colorless, yellow, and green sapphires are significantly less prized. Where a sapphire was mined can have a huge impact on its overall cost. Sapphires mined in Kashmir, Mogok, Burma, and Ceylon are usually more prized than those mined elsewhere. Typically, that is because the quality of sapphires coming from these mines is higher than those coming from most other locations. This is not always true, though, and paying for origin is a little like paying for a brand name. You can save money by purchasing quality sapphires from "lesser" mines. Cut does not refer to the shape of the stone. Rather, it refers to the facets on a gem's surface, which allow light and color to shine through at their best.  A deep cut sapphire has better color,...

Article in English: Satire is meant to be read. In order for people to really get something out of your work, you need to choose a subject that people are familiar with, even if they do not necessarily know all the details about it.  For this reason, current events are often used as subject matter for satire. You could also draw from pop culture or point out societal flaws, however. Even though choosing a topic people care about is important, you also need to make sure that the topic you choose is one that you care about, too. Picking a moderately popular topic that you are very concerned with is generally better than choosing a very popular topic you barely even care about. Politicians and celebrities are the easiest targets for satire. You can usually get away with criticizing someone famous as long as you criticize that person's ideas or behaviors and not the actual, physical person. Typically, you should stay away from making fun of someone's race, religion, or family background. It's also advisable to stay away from disabilities or medical conditions. If that person is constantly drawing attention to one of those elements, however, you can probably still use it as long as you only make fun of it in the context used. This primarily refers to ethnicity and race, but on a larger scale, it could also refer to certain medical or psychological conditions. Pointing the finger of criticism at a group you do not belong to could make you look bigoted toward that group. For example, African-American comedians can usually get away with being satirical about African-American subculture, just like Asian-Americans can usually get away with joking about elements of Asian or Asian-American culture. A white person joking about either group would not get many laughs, though, and would only come across as being racist. Politicians are good targets, but so are political parties and overall events within the political realm. Most people who would pick up a work of satire have at least some basic familiarity with current events, especially major...

Article in English: Save an empty cardboard tube from a roll of paper towels or toilet paper. Similar objects can be used as long as they’re big enough for the mouse to fit inside but also flimsy enough to not support the mouse’s weight. Stores may also carry humane traps. Check at your hardware store or online. Run your fingers along the length of the tube on one side, pressing in as you go. When finished, the tube should be able to rest flat-side-down on a counter or table. Place bait on one end of the tube. A small dollop of peanut butter, some cracker crumbs, or a sliver of bacon will be enough to attract the mouse. Peanut butter works well because it sticks to the inside of the tube. Choose an edge that is a few feet off the ground but also has some free floor space under it. Place the tube flat-side-down with the baited end off the counter, then push the tube until it is half off the edge.  If you’re having trouble getting the tube to stay still or balance, you can tape it lightly. Make sure the tape isn’t holding it tight enough that it won’t move when the mouse is inside. If you do not have a table or counter that will work, you can instead construct a ramp up to the top of the bucket. Numerous objects, including cardboard or stacked wood, can be used as long as the ramp is sturdy enough to support the mouse’s weight. Find an empty container that will catch the mouse. Make sure the container is at least two feet tall or else the mouse may escape the trap. Your catching container goes directly under the baited end of the tube hanging off the table. When the mouse moves in to get the bait, its weight causes the tube to fall off the table and into the bucket. Come back at least once a day to see if the tube is in place, the bait has been eaten, or a mouse is in the bucket. Make adjustments, such as rebalancing the tube. If a mouse is caught, it must be moved soon or else it will starve. Starving mice will also eat one another. The mouse needs to be moved at least a mile (1.6 km) away. This prevents the mouse from returning...

Article in English: Save the third scoop for later. You will be using it as a garnish. If you don't like the taste of honey, you can use another sweetener instead, such as agave nectar. Try to use smooth almond butter if you can; this will cut down on the blending time and give you a smoother milkshake. If you'd like to cut down on the sweetness of the smoothie, use salted almond butter instead. From time to time, use a spatula to push the mixture down the sides of the blender or food processor. This will ensure that everything mixes evenly. You don't want any large chunks of almonds by the time you are done. You will need that space for the final scoop of ice cream! For a smaller serving, pour the milkshake into two smaller glasses instead. If you are making two smaller servings, then add two smaller scoops of ice cream into each glass. If you'd like, you can add a drizzle of honey on top for a final touch and boost of flavor.

Article in English: Say “NO” in a strong and loud voice or another loud noise. Dogs often get into a trance as they hump, but a loud noise might be enough to startle your dog out of that trance.  Your tone should be assertive, but you need to keep anger out of it since anger can heighten a dog's energy instead of lowering it. Try using another source of noise, like a whistle or air horn. Make sure that these noise makers are far enough away from your dog to prevent damage to the ears. Make the noise when the dog is starting or in the middle of doing the behavior, not afterward. Dogs sometimes mount people to get attention. Push the dog away or turn away from the dog so they don't get attention. You may also sit down or move away from the dog so they can’t mount you.  To push the dog away, gently take the dog by its front legs and set those paws back on the ground. Move yourself. Turning away from the dog or walking a few paces in another direction can work well as long as you remain calm. " You may need to physically remove your dog from the area if they won’t stop humping. Say “No!” or “Nope!” when the dog humps. Then, lead the dog out of the room and into a quiet, closed room for a few minutes. Let the dog stay in that room alone for a few minutes until they calm down.  When you take your dog to a "time out" area, make sure that there are no toys to play with. Leave the dog for 30 seconds to three minutes. Make sure that your dog is calm before releasing them, and when you release them, stay calm and act as though nothing happened. When humping is a persistent behavior, you will likely need to work with your dog every time another person or dog visits your house. Put a short leash on your dog and let them wear it around the house. When the dog needs to go to time out or you have company, you can direct your dog as needed. The leash can also help you remove the dog from aggressive situations. You could either use a tab or a drag-line. A tab is a short piece of leash measuring 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15.25 cm). A drag-line is a 4...

Article in English: Say: "Father, God, I change my mind and turn from my sin, reject all my wrong doing; I want your will, and I truly thank you for everything you have done and that I am now freely forgiven and can be saved from the penalty for my sins -- as a free gift. I know that you place a new life in me. Thank you for your gift to me of receiving The Holy Spirit in Jesus' name." " "Follow Jesus Christ" includes going to Christian meetings with people of like faith and being Baptised. You must repent and be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit as a sign of accepting Him, for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the promised gift of the Holy Ghost. The five ways to grow your relationship with God are: praying to God, reading the Bible, praising, worshiping, and fasting. Also, through Jesus and the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit we show God's love by kindness, forgiving others, making peace, having a faithful, loving relationship with believers (Don't live by feelings; judge no one harshly, not even yourself; live and walk in Christ's Spirit, in The Spirit of God in faith, hope and charity. So, live in the Spirit and "And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man snatch them out of My hand", Jesus said; that is safety, secured.) But, when you (in your mind) are convicted of sin -- repent, asking God for, accepting forgiveness, expecting consequences for some wrongs -- and going on as a Child of God, all in Christ Jesus' name -- with God as the one, true Judge of all things both good and bad. God's love is perfect and casts out all fear.

Article in English: Scales can attack houseplants, even if they are never put outdoors. They often go unnoticed at the greenhouse or store where the houseplant is purchased and flourish on the plant after it is brought home. Remove scales from houseplants by rubbing them off with an old toothbrush, your thumbnail or a cotton swab dipped in Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Insecticidal soap can also be sprayed on houseplants to kill scales. Mix about 5 tablespoons of insecticidal soap or a very mild dish soap into 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water. Pour the soap into a spray bottle and spray the plant, including the undersides of the leaves and stems, until the soap solution begins to drip. Repeat the treatment every four to seven days until the scales are gone. Do not use laundry soap, automatic dishwasher soap or highly concentrated dish soap that has additives or antibacterial ingredients.   They can damage the plant leaves, causing discoloration and leaf tissue damage.

Article in English: Scalp massage promotes good circulation around your hair follicles, creating the right environment for hair growth. Use the tips of your fingers to gently massage your scalp in a circular motion. Take your time and massage every part of your scalp so that you stimulate blood flow to all the areas where you want to new hair to grow in.  Make massage a habit by doing it every time you wash your hair in the shower. Brush your hair daily with a soft or looped-bristle brush for a gentle scalp massage. This is especially effective if you have long hair. Getting a professional head massage could be educational, since you'll learn the best way to massage your scalp. Adding oil to the equation aids circulation even more than a standard head massage. The oil helps to unclog hair follicles and allow new growth to come in. Once or twice a week, plan to use oil to massage your head. It's easiest to do it in the shower, then rinse away the oil when you're finished. Here are a few popular oils you can try:  Argan oil. Hand-extracted from the Argan tree, this oil contains lots of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fatty acids that are great for restoring moisture and shine to your hair. Jojoba oil. It's very similar in texture to sebum, the natural oil produced by your scalp that lubricates your hair and keeps it healthy. Almond oil. This is traditionally used in India to foster healthy hair growth. A good hair mask performs the dual duty of keeping your hair moisturized and healthy while also stimulating growth. Household goods like honey, egg whites, avocados, aloe and apple cider vinegar are all quite beneficial to hair. Apply a mask for 15 minutes, making sure to cover your scalp as well, then shampoo your hair as normal. Make sure you do not use a shampoo with added sulfate. Try the following masks:  For extra dry hair, combine equal parts honey, egg white, and argan oil. For normal hair, combine equal parts honey, aloe, and olive oil. For oily hair, combine equal parts honey, apple cider vinegar, and castor oil....

Article in English: Scammers do not like to answer personal questions about themselves and will often misspell the cities they say they are from. If they are unfamiliar with any of the local landmarks and attractions, this is another sign. If they claim to be from a foreign country, steer clear immediately, no matter how charming they are. At the very least, it will show you that they are the person in the picture. Even better, video chat with them if they have a webcam. It does not, however, mean that everything they say is the truth. Services like Chatroulette can be manipulated to show a photo of, say, celebrities, instead of their real selves. Early on if the relationship is getting 'established' it is not strange to ask your "friend" for a phone number or address where you can call spontaneously. Marrieds have to worry about spouses or children intercepting the call/visit. This will put most marrieds off quickly. As well, phone numbers and addresses are easily reverse engineered. Modern people finding sites can tell you if a 50 year old John Doe has ever resided at that address in their lives! If someone lives in Denver, Colorado, why do you need a country code for an African nation?

Article in English: Scan the room and see if there is anyone else who appears approachable and/ or to be hanging out by herself. You can then slowly make your way towards her to start up a conversation.  Ask your host beforehand if there is anyone else there who isn’t normally part of the group. You can keep an eye out for this person and mention that your host suggested you talk. Look for cues that the other person doesn’t know anyone, too. This includes scanning the room or standing in the corner away from the crowd.  Even if you notice that another person approaches your intended conversation mate, you can also join the two of them and start a conversation. Remember that it’s important to take initiative in situations where you don’t know other people. Not only can it draw people to you, but also make you seem approachable. In some cases, you may be at a large event like a conference or wedding where people tend to congregate in groups. Gradually ease yourself into the crowd of people with whom you’d like to engage and then take the opportunity to make a statement and introduce yourself.  Stand by a member of the group until you make eye contact and can introduce yourself. Listen to the conversation for a few minutes as you try and join the group. You can start by standing a bit to the outside of the group and move in slowly by saying, “May I move in a bit? I’m really interested in what’s being said.” Once you’ve found a person or group with whom you want to socialize, you’ll need to relieve the tension of approaching someone you don’t know. Find a general or clever statement that can kick off a conversation.  Figure out things to say before you actually get to the person. For example, if you see an individual you’d like to talk to, notice something that the person is wearing or doing as a way to break the ice. For example, you could say “There are so many accountants in one space- this lawyer feels like a fish out of water.” Turn to the person standing next to you and make a funny comment or compliment. For example, if...

Article in English: Schedule an appointment if you have persistent joint pain or a history of joint issues. Your doctor can make an accurate diagnosis, help you come up with a treatment plan, or refer you to a joint specialist.  Decreased joint fluid occurs naturally with age and is associated with some forms of arthritis. However, joint pain can be related to a variety of medical issues, so work with your doctor to determine the cause. While there's no medication that makes your body produce more joint fluid, your doctor might recommend medication to manage pain or an underlying condition. Physical therapy could be beneficial if you’re injured or if your joint issues prevent you from exercising on your own. If you have an injury, physical therapy can help prevent future joint issues, including changes in synovial fluid. Ask your doctor to recommend a physical therapist or use the American Physical Therapy Association’s search tool: http://aptaapps.apta.org/findapt/default.aspx?navID=10737422525&UniqueKey=. If you have decreased or poor quality synovial fluid, your doctor could inject hyaluronic acid into the affected joint. Depending on the severity of your joint pain, they’ll administer 1 to 5 injections over the course of several weeks. It's a quick procedure, but you’ll need to avoid excessive activity for 48 hours after an injection.  You might feel pain, warmth, or minor swelling after an injection. An ice pack can help ease these symptoms, and they usually don't last long. Contact your doctor if these symptoms worsen or if you experience bleeding. Injections are usually recommended only after trying all other nonsurgical treatment methods. While many people report reduced pain and improved function, viscosupplementation doesn't work for everyone.

Article in English: Schedule in time to connect with your friends, even if you feel you are always busy. Make time for your friends so you can maintain an active social life. For example, you can try making regular coffee dates with a friend once a month on the same day so you can schedule around it. Or you may host game nights at your house with friends once a week so you all get to see each other. Do not shy away from spending quality time with your friends. Be open to trying new things and socializing with friends regularly. Opt for saying “yes” rather than “no” to invitations to hang out. You should also try to be on time and follow through if you agree to hang out with friends. Don’t be flaky or bail at the last minute unless you have a good reason. Friendship is all about give and take. Being a good friend, and keeping your friends, means listening to them when they need it. Try to listen to your friends if they need someone to talk to. Be there for them emotionally when they need it. You should also try not to judge your friends, as this can cause conflict in the relationship. Instead, listen and support them when they need it. Making good friends and maintaining a healthy social life takes time. Connecting to a lot of people may be challenging. Instead, focus on making one or two friends that you like and appreciate, or find a small group of people that you connect with on a deeper level.

Article in English: Schedule vet appointments for the proper vaccinations starting at 6-8 weeks of age. Your veterinarian will advise you about specific disease risks in your area and which diseases to vaccinate puppy against. Also discuss desexing with your vet so you can decide on what's best for your dog. It's important to take your puppy to the vet regularly so that any problems can be spotted early. Caring for your puppy also means giving regular preventative healthcare treatments, such as heartworm, flea, and tick medications. Bring treats with you so you can give them to the puppy while you are there. If you take your puppy to the vet from an early age, it will get more used to the situation. This is a quick injection that inserts a small microchip into the skin. Each chip has a unique ID number which is registered against your details and is proof of ownership. This is especially appropriate for a beagle because if he escapes and goes walkabout, when he is handed into a dog pound they can scan the chip, find out who he belongs to and reunite you.

Article in English: Scoop out about 3-4 scoops of ice cream from the carton, and add them to the blender.  The more ice cream you add, the bigger your shake will be. Vanilla ice cream is usually used as a base to add candy flavors to, but any type of ice cream flavor works just fine. Measure out 1/3 of a cup of milk and add it to the blender. Depending on how think you want you shake, you can add more milk to make your shake thinner (1/2 cup of milk), or less milk to make it thicker (1/4 cup of milk). Measure out how much candy you want to add to your ShakeAway, and pour it into a plastic bag, bowl, or mortar. If you add your candy to a bag, you can smash the candy with a hammer or rolling pin. If you add your candy to a bowl, you can smash the candy using a pestle, or smash in the candy in the mortar using the pestle. Once all your candy is smashed, add it to the blender.  It doesn't matter what kind of bag you use, but the main point is that you want your candy to be confined somewhere where you can smash it collectively and keep the candy together. The more translucent the bag material is, the better you can see portions of the candy that are already smashed, or still need to be smashed. Be sure to keep a lookout for holes in the bag created by smashing the candy. Smashing the candy helps with blending the candy into the ShakeAway, and also helps reduce damage to the blender’s blades.

Article in English: Scoop out poop and wet, stinky bedding every day. This includes in the pasture and in the goat’s shelter. Replace the bedding with fresh hay.  This will prevent your goat from becoming ill since you’re removing the parasites that live in the manure. Once or twice a year, you should do a deep cleaning of your goat’s shelter. Remove the bedding and scrub down all surfaces. Then replace the bedding with fresh hay. Goats are active animals, so make sure your goat gets lots of exercise. Encourage your goat to climb by placing things to climb on in their pasture, such as large rocks, wooden structures, and bushes. You can also run and play with your goat.  If your pasture is on the smaller side, take the goat on a walk. Goats also enjoy items like a seesaw, which allows them to run up and down it to try to balance it. The BoSe shot contains Selenium and Vitamin E, which your goat needs to stay healthy. They’re especially important for muscle, bone, and reproductive health. Since many goats are deficient in these important minerals, the shot is usually administered to goats once yearly.  Since it’s only available through the vet, you’ll need a prescription for the shot. If you’re breeding your goat(s), it’s a good idea to give them the shot before breeding season. It helps the kid develop properly and protects the dam from complications. Goats should be given the CDT vaccine, which protects against Clostridium perfringens type C and D, as well as tetanus. The vaccine’s effect wanes over time, so you must administer a booster yearly.  If the goats are breeding, bucks should be given their booster 30 days before breeding season, while dams should get their shot 30 days before kidding. Baby goats should be first vaccinated at 5-6 weeks and then again 3-4 weeks later.  You can also vaccinate the goat against rabies if your vet recommends it. Rabies vaccinations are not standard in goats. Goats can get internal parasites, such as worms, so deworming is helpful. Since there are few dewormers formulated for goats, you’ll...

Article in English: Scoop out the seeds and pulp as you would a pumpkin and discard, then place the squash on a baking sheet, flesh-side up. Brush each squash half with melted butter, mopping the cavity of each squash liberally. You can also use olive oil instead of butter, or a mixture of both. The beauty of butternut squash is how adaptable it is to various spices and seasonings. Here are a few suggestions:  Brown sugar and cinnamon: add from one teaspoon to one tablespoon (to taste) brown sugar to each squash section, then sprinkle ground cinnamon over all. Salt and pepper: Add fresh-ground pepper and salt to each squash, to taste. This is very simple, and very delicious, enhancing the natural sweetness of the squash. Ras el hanout. Visit your local spice market, and pick up some of this versatile Moroccan blend of up to 30 herbs and spices.

Article in English: Scorpios are curious and like solving puzzles. The more you hold back about yourself, the more she will want to find out about you. If you divulge too much information about yourself too quickly she will lose interest fast. Instead of talking too much, let her chase you, and the more she’s able to uncover the more she will want to learn.   Withhold something that you’re talented at. When it comes up in conversation, you can talk about your experiences and she will be impressed. Be genuine. Lying to a Scorpio woman is a betrayal of her trust, and she will have a hard time forgetting about it. Scorpios are highly private and do not like to be poked and prodded about their past. In fact, pushing her too hard to reveal details about her past will turn her off. When talking to a Scorpio, let the conversation flow organically, and allow the Scorpio to open up when they are ready.   Acting accusatory about the past of a Scorpio could ruin any relationship you’d have with her. Try to keep conversation on what you are currently doing, and your aspirations for the future, not what you’ve done in the past. It can infuriate a Scorpio woman when someone else tells them what to do. Try to limit how much you are trying to take control, and let them be independent. Similarly, they don’t like to be rushed or hurried, especially when it comes to intimacy or a romantic relationship, so let them get comfortable on their own terms.   Don’t let them take control over you. While they like to maintain control they also hate weakness in other people. Some Scorpios will withhold intimacy at first to see how hard you’re willing to work for it. Scorpios are sexual beings and will look for that in someone else. Don’t be afraid to try new things as Scorpios love sex. Being too conservative will turn a Scorpio woman off, as intimacy is often of paramount importance to them. Start off with light touching like trying to touch or hold her hand. You can also try putting your arm around her. If she doesn’t like it, back off, and let her control...

Article in English: Scotchgard can cause colors to fade in some fabrics. To check this, spray a small spot inside the shoes and rub the spot with a white rag. If the color comes off the shoes, it’s best not to use Scotchgard on them.  Most fabrics that can be washed can be protected with Scotchgard. If the shoes have the “X” symbol, like some clothing, don’t use Scotchgard. For suede shoes, be sure you are using Scotchgard Suede & Nubuck Protector. Don’t use Scotchgard on leather shoes. Spray the shoes with a light mist that covers them completely. If you hold the can too close, it will saturate the shoes and not cover them well. Holding the can beyond 12 inches (30.5cm) will make the spray miss the shoes too much. Press the button that releases the spray. As you mist the shoes with the Scotchgard, move the can in a sweeping motion. Make sure that you cover the shoes completely, except for the rubber soles. After spraying the shoes, let them sit right side up for a few minutes. This gives the Scotchgard time to soak into the shoes and dry completely. Set a fan blowing on the shoes to speed the drying time. One coat of Scotchgard may be enough to give your shoes plenty of protection. On the other hand, if you really want total waterproofing, apply one or two more coats of Scotchgard. You don’t want to totally saturate the shoes, but spray them again as you did the first time. To make sure that the protectant has fully set into the shoes, leave them to dry for a full day. Since fumes from the Scotchgard may linger, leave the shoes outside or in your garage. Make sure they won’t get wet, though.

Article in English: Scout ants (the ants you see around your kitchen) are the ants that bring back food to the rest of the colony. Set out a pre-bait in the areas of your house where you have seen the most amount of ant activity. Arrange a small plate with some sugar based food (like honey, syrup, jam, etc.), and some fried food (like french fries or fried chicken). See which flavoring of food attracts more ants. You don't have to leave this pre-bait out for long to see which type of food the ants prefer.  Ants’ taste preferences can change depending on the time of year, so that’s why it’s a good idea to do a pre-bait; so you can successfully identify the ants' preferred flavoring, and buy a poisonous ant bait targeted to their particular taste. This pre-bait step isn't necessary for all ant problems in the kitchen, but it does help to narrow down and the type of bait you should use. When in doubt, purchase bait that caters to ants that want both sweet and savory foods. These toxic ant baits come in both solid and liquid form, but when ants prefer sweet foods, liquid bait seems to work best. Right after you have set out poisonous bait targeted to the ants’ taste, you will probably see an increase in the number of ants around your house. That is because the bait is drawing them in. This is what you want, because the more ants around the bait, the more ants are taking it back to the nest to kill the rest of the colony.  Keep in mind that this baiting extermination process might take some time. That is because you aren’t just killing the ants walking around your house, you have to kill multiple ‘’’generations’’’ of ants, including the adult ants, their pupae, (which are the ants still in their cocoon stage), the larvae, and the eggs. This process can take anywhere from a few days to weeks.  When using this bait system, all other foods need to be eliminated. The bait can’t have other foods sources tempting the ants. You want the ants to take the toxic bait, and the toxic bait only. Also, do not disturb the ants or bait once the ants...

Article in English: Scout out an area in your yard that gets at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight every day. This is the minimum amount of sunlight needed for hops to thrive. Hop bines can grow 25 feet (7.6 m) or higher into the air and weigh more than 20 pounds. You can choose a planting spot near your house, so you'll be able to lean a tall trellis against it. The trellis can also be propped up against a sturdy pole, fence or other structure close to the garden, if preferred. Hops need a lot of nutrients to thrive, especially potassium, phosphates, and nitrogen. You can use manure compost or commercial fertilizer to enrich the soil. Fertilize the ground to a depth of at least 1 foot (30 cm). Hops like to be slightly elevated and planted in mounds. Create one mound for each rhizome you plan to plant. The mounds need to be spaced about 3 feet (0.9 m) apart, so the hops have plenty of room to grow.

Article in English: Scraping, acetone, and washing may work for most fabrics, but it can destroy delicate fabrics. Luckily, dry cleaners own products that can safely remove the glue from your fabric.  Check the care label on your fabric. If it says that it must be dry cleaned, then take it to a dry cleaner. Delicate fabrics include sheers, lace, and silk. Be patient and let the glue dry. If you try to tackle the glue while it is still wet, you'll only make things worse. Do not attempt to speed the process up with a dryer, or you will permanently set the stain into your garment. The glue should only take 15 to 20 minutes to dry. If you can't wait that long, fill a bowl with water, then add enough ice cubes to make it cold. Dip the stained area into the water for a few seconds, then pull it out. The iced water will have caused the glue to harden. Place the garment on a hard surface, then scrape the glue off with your fingernail or the edge of a spoon. You won't be able to get all of the super glue off, but you should be able to get most of the larger chunks off. Skip this step if the fabric is loosely-woven, such as knits or delicate muslin, or you'll risk tearing it. Sometimes, all you need to do is scrape the glue off. If large pieces of glue are still stick to the garment, you will need to move onto the next step: acetone.

Article in English: Scratching posts come in different sizes and shapes and are made of different materials. Look at what your cat normally scratches on for clues as to what your cat prefers. Then try to find a scratching post that is similar.  For example, if your cat enjoys scratching your couch and it is covered in a soft fabric, this can be a clue that a carpeted scratching post would be preferable to one covered in a hard or scratchy material, such as sisal. Watch your cat’s scratching behaviors and determine whether it prefers to scratch vertical or horizontal surfaces. If your cat likes to scratch carpets, get a horizontal scratching post. If it likes to sharpen its claws on doorframes or furniture, get an upright post. Keep in mind that you and your cat may have very different ideas of the ideal scratching post. You may prefer something neat, inconspicuous, and out of the way, while your cat may not be satisfied unless it can produce a mound of shredded cardboard. If the scratching post is wobbly, your cat probably won't use it. A vertical post with an insecure base could also topple over onto your cat. Even if your cat escapes uninjured, it will likely never return to that scratching post. Try to find a post with a heavy, double-thick base. If you're going to place the post on a carpeted floor, find a base with feet that will anchor the base into the carpet. The scratching post should be at least 28 inches (71 cm) tall or long. This gives your cat enough room to stretch out to its full length. Cats sometimes hunker down when they're scratching. This is a normal position that works to stretch other muscles. It doesn't mean you don't need a taller or longer post. When you take your scratching post home, put it in a place where your cat frequents. Since the problem is scratching the couch, you might want to start by placing the scratching post next to the part of the couch your cat typically scratches.  Keep in mind that cats scratch to mark their territory. Even if you would prefer the scratching post to be out of the...

Article in English: Screenplays are written on 8 ½” x 11” paper, typically 3-hole punched. Top and bottom margins are set between .5” and 1”. The left margin is set to 1.2”-1.6” and the right margin is set between .5” and 1”. Screenplays are written in Courier 12 point font. This is mainly because of timing. One script page in Courier 12 is roughly one minute of screen time. There are several different parts of the script that require specific formatting so that they conform to industry standards:   Scene Heading: This is also called a “slug line.” It sets the stage for the reader by describing the location. The scene heading is written in all caps. First, denote whether it is an interior or exterior scene by writing “INT.” or “EXT.” Then, follow that with the location, then the time of day. Never end a page with a scene heading, push it down to the next page.  Action: This is the descriptive text of the screenplay. Write in the present tense and an active voice. Keep the paragraphs short to hold the reader’s attention. A good paragraph size is 3-5 lines.  Character Name: Before dialogue starts, the character speaking is typed out in all caps and indented 3.5” from the left margin. The name can either be the character’s actual name, a description if the character is not named in the movie, or by occupation. If the character is speaking off screen, then “(O.S.)” is written next to the character name. If the character is narrating, “(V.O.)” for voice-over is written next to the name.  Dialogue: When a character is speaking, the dialogue is indented 2.5” from the left margin, and between 2-2.5” from the right. The dialogue goes directly beneath the character’s name.

Article in English: Seam ironing is an alternative to seam adhesive. You will still need to follow the same preparation and positioning steps, however. In other words, follow the steps listed in the "Positioning the Seam" section but skip the steps mentioned in the "Applying Seam Adhesive" section. Carefully lift back both edges of the carpet and apply a thin bead of seam sealer along the cut edge of one piece.  Make sure that the sealer stays on the bottom portion of the carpet and does not work its way into the fibers on top. The sealer will help prevent the carpet from unraveling. Work quickly. The sealer needs to remain wet throughout the rest of the process. Lay a piece of seaming tape down the chalk line on your floor. The tape should be 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide and extend the entire length of the seam. Since seaming tape is not double sided, you may need to hold the edges down with a weight or board to prevent the tape from moving as you work. Unroll both edges, starting with the sealed edge and ending with the unsealed edge. Firmly press the edges together on the floor.  Note that the seam between the two pieces should be centered over the seaming tape. The seam sealer you applied to the first edge should get on the second edge during this step, thereby preventing the second piece from unraveling, as well. Use a special seaming iron and press the carpet into the seaming tape. Work your way down the entire seam.  The adhesive on the tape melts and becomes stickier as you heat it. Make sure that you push both edges into this hot adhesive as you work. After working your way down the carpet, gently tug on the pieces. If the seam appears loose at any point down the shared edge, go back over that point with your seaming iron. Clean up any residual sealer you see using the cleaner recommended on the sealer label. Once the adhesive dries, you should also brush the carpet with a carpet brush to help mask the seam. This step completes the process if you are using a seaming iron.

Article in English: Search for the artist's name online, as well as the name of the tattoo parlor she works at. Avoid the place if you find reviews or reports of infections or sub-par health and safety practices. Don't believe the parlor's personal website when it comes to customer testimony. The artist you feel most comfortable with generally gives you the best result. Make sure he pays attention and understands what you're going for. He should also be experienced with the style of tattoo you're paying him to do. Many artists specialize either in color or line work, and may have further specialization within those categories. Always ask to see a blood-borne pathogen course certificate, as well as some sort of license. Check the expiration dates to make sure they're still valid. These are usually displayed in the artist's work area. The following practices provide the highest assurance that the parlor knows what it's doing. Quality artists should never act rude or insulted if you ask them to do the following:  The artist should show you the date on the package containing the needles, and open it in front of you. (Even reusable needles are kept in a pouch during the autoclave sterilization process.) Reusable needles and grips should be fresh from the autoclave, which should be visible on request. The shop and artists should be free of dirt and obvious sanitation issues. If anything makes you feel uneasy or unsure, leave the parlor. "It's probably nothing" could lead to a nasty skin infection, or even a blood-borne illness such as hepatitis or HIV.

For a more dramatic statement, consider painting stripes or other geometric designs on the cover to match patterns in the draperies, pillows or other elements within the room. Once the paint or stain is dry, use a clear lacquer or sealant to protect the finish of the piece. Allow the sealant to dry before moving the finished radiator cover into position. This will help minimize scratching and wear and tear on the cover from one year to the next, making it possible to get several years of use before needing to repaint the accessory.

Article in English: See if the students have any ideas about what happened to the can. Do not affirm or deny any of the answers at this stage. Acknowledge each idea, and ask the students to explain their thought process. Ask the students to come up with new experiments to test their ideas, and ask them what they think will happen before they conduct the new experiment. If they have trouble coming up with a new experiment, help them out. Here are a couple variations that may be helpful:  If a student thinks the water (not the water vapor) inside the can was responsible for it getting crushed, have the students fill an entire can with water, and see if it is crushed. Try the same experiment with a sturdier container. The heavier material should take longer to be crushed, which will give the ice water more time to fill it. Try letting the can cool for a short time before putting it in the ice bath. This will result in more air being present in the can, and thus less severe crushing. Use the information in the How it Works section to teach the students why the can was crushed. Ask them whether that matches what they came up with in their experiments.

Article in English: See the "Things You'll Need" list below for specific details. The goal is to build a frame that will fit a queen-size mattress (60" wide x 80" long). Beyond that, you'll need to visit your local home improvement warehouse to acquire three basic things:  Bed rail hangers Wood Wood screws This hardware is essential in forming a rigid connection between all the bed rails in the frame.  Secure the bed rail hangers to the end of the side-rail and head post. Double check that each placement is consistent. Repeat the process for all corners.  These hangers can sometimes be hard to find in hardware stores. If so, check online retailers. Bed rail hangers are usually sold 4 sets to a package. In the place of bed rail hangers, you can use 8 long lag bolts. When tightened, the lag bolts make the bed very solid. Lag bolts are also much easier to find than bed rail hangers. Screw the support rail to each side rail. Make sure to space the screws about 12" (30.5 cm) apart. This provides maximum weight support. Cut a groove into the support block and support beam, as shown. This groove should be a centered 1.5"x 3.5" slot, with the wider measurement following the wider part of the block. Attach each support block to the center of the head rail and foot rail with screws as shown in the image. Connect each rail to the post using the bedrail hangers. Insert the support beam between the two support blocks. Rest the plywood on the support rails and support beam. It should fit into the inner part of the bed frame. Once this is done, the mattress can be placed in the frame. Enjoy your new bed!

Article in English: Seeing their latest posts will only bring up old feelings and remind you of your ex’s existence. You may need to unfollow them, or even block them, if necessary.  Even if you think that seeing them on social media is no big deal, consider how you’ll feel if they begin posting photos of them with their new date. Some people find it useful to get off of social media completely following a breakup. You may choose to do a “social media fast” for a week, a month, or more. This can help you focus on your own life and accomplishments without worrying about seeing pictures or mentions of your ex. Now that the relationship is over, you likely have more time to do things that you enjoy on your own or with friends. Get back to hobbies that you haven’t had time for recently. Call up a friend you haven’t seen in a while and do something fun together.  Exercise, time outdoors, and time spent doing something you love are great ways to reconnect with yourself. It can feel lonely at first to spend time by yourself, but it’s important to get back to feeling good being on your own. Spend time with loved ones and close friends. When we spend time with people who care about us, it helps us reconnect with who we are separate from a previous relationship. This might take a long time, depending on how long and how serious the relationship was. Make sure to wait until you’re really ready, but when you are, it’s good to take steps toward finding a new relationship that’s right for you.  Online dating apps can help you find other people who are looking for something similar. For example, if your last relationship was a long and serious one, you may just be looking for short-term, casual dating right now. Many apps can help you find others looking for that, too. If your last relationship ended because you were looking for marriage and a family and your partner wasn’t ready, online apps can help you identify other people who are also looking for something serious. Be honest with people you date about what you’re going through. You don’t...

Article in English: Seeing things that remind you of your ex will keep you locked in the cycle of craving their affection. Go through your living space and remove anything that makes you think of them. Take down photos, remove gifts, and collect mementos. Donate or throw away the items so they won’t remind you of the past. If you don’t want to throw the stuff away, put the items in a box that you can give to a friend. When you’re ready, your friend can either discard the box or return it to you. Your digital world is likely full of reminders about your relationship, and seeing them will be painful. Don’t scroll through photos of you and your ex during good times because it will make it take longer for you to get over them. Here’s what you need to do to detox digitally:  Unfollow all of their social media pages. Delete all of your ex’s text or email messages. Save your relationship photos to a folder you can access later, then delete them. Block their phone number. Stay off social media in the days after the breakup. You might be wondering about who your ex is seeing, what they’re doing, or if they feel bad about what happened. Don’t give them one more second of your time! Instead of worrying about them, keep your mind on your own needs and wants. When you catch yourself thinking about your ex, turn your attention to a hobby or interest. It’s normal to feel tempted to hook up with your ex, but doing so will only make the pain worse. Your brain is hardwired to form an emotional connection during sex, and it’ll be an even stronger connection if you’re doing it with someone you used to love. Don’t be alone with your ex after the breakup so you won’t be tempted. If you have to see them, ask someone to go with you so that you won’t be alone with them.

The moment you get serious, the fun stops and the worries start. These sorts of actions might cause him to not like you or to find you silly.

Article in English: Seek medical treatment right away if you have diarrhea, vomiting, blood in your vomit or stool, or intestinal cramping after ingesting unidentified mushrooms. Your local emergency room can replace lost fluids and address any mushrooms toxicity causing your symptoms.  In some cases, gastrointestinal symptoms can progress to impaired kidney function if you don’t seek treatment right away. Even if you feel embarrassed at having eaten a potentially dangerous mushroom, do not be shy about seeking treatment. Medical practitioners are only concerned about your health. Call emergency services right away if you notice an involuntary nervous system response, such as profuse and uncontrolled sweating or crying. These symptoms can occur as quickly as 15-30 minutes after ingesting a potentially harmful mushroom. Act quickly, as these symptoms can progress to visual disturbances, decreased blood pressure, or difficulty breathing.  Due to the potential for a rapid escalation in involuntary-nervous-system symptoms, it’s best to call for help rather than attempt to drive yourself to the emergency room. In emergency care, doctors can administer Atropine, an antidote that resolves most of these symptoms. Most people make a full recovery in 24 hours, but respiratory failure is possible without treatment. Seek emergency medical services for any central nervous-system disturbances, such as sleepiness or hallucinations. Ingesting certain mushrooms can cause severe central-nervous reactions, such as convulsions or even a coma.  Medical teams can provide supportive care for any anxiety and fluid-loss you experience. Typically these symptoms pass on their own without causing long-term damage. Notice any trouble symptoms, either mental or physical, that recur after you have seemingly “recovered” from your mushroom episode. Certain deadly mushrooms, such as those in the Amanita family, can cause a 24-hour period in which patients appear to improve before relapsing and experiencing organ failure.

Article in English: Select a clean, dry area (such as a space on your kitchen counter) to lay out a linen or cotton napkin. Make sure that it is flat for optimum use of space. Place your peaches stem-end down on the linen towel. Spread them out so that they are equidistant from each other, and so none of them are touching (even if you are ripening many peaches). Place a second linen or cotton towel over the top of the peaches. Cover them completely, and if possible tuck the sides so that the edges are closed off to fresh air. Ripening your peaches with a linen towel may take several days, but will provide juicier fruit. Check your peaches 2-3 days later, paying attention to their softness and looking for that classic peachy smell. If they aren't quite ready, replace the towel and check back a day later. When your peaches are soft to the touch and have a great aroma, they are ready to be eaten! Have them fresh or store them in your fridge if you have a surplus you want to extend the life of.

Article in English: Select a latex-based interior paint designed specifically for use on trim. The slight sheen provided by a glossier paint will better showcase the updated frame by helping it stand out from the walls.  If the door frame you're painting opens to the outside, go with an exterior trim paint instead.  Latex-based paints are also easier to maintain than matte and eggshell paints. A quick wipedown with a damp cloth every 2-3 months will ordinarily be enough to keep them clean. You'll be able to paint with greater precision and efficiency with a brush than with a roller, which is best reserved for broad, flat surfaces. Many home improvement experts recommend using a brush with an angled tip to make it easier to work the new color into tight spaces.  In order to achieve the cleanest finish, a good rule of thumb is to use a brush no wider than the surface you're painting. Holding your brush by the metal band just beneath the bristles rather than lower down on the handle will give you even more control over your paint placement. Angle the tip of your brush so that it's aligned with the corner and begin moving down the frame with long, sweeping strokes. Continue painting until you reach the bottom of the interior surface, then repeat on the opposite side.  To prevent excess paint from globbing in the corners, work the paint in using the tip of your brush, then gently feather it back out again.  Painting with a linear up-and-down motion makes it possible to cover more surface area and use less paint than brushing back and forth widthwise. After coating the inside of the frame, move outward and paint the jambs, or the outer face that's visible when the door is closed. Once again, go from top to bottom, aiming for full coverage. Don't forget to do both sides.  Overlap your strokes by 0.5–1 inch (1.3–2.5 cm) to avoid leaving seams or thin patches. Keep an eye out for missed spots, as these may be noticeable to those passing through the door frame. Drag your brush from one end of the frame to the other overhead. Be careful...

Article in English: Select a shoot with a semi-ripe stem that is mostly green with hints of light brown, snipping it off with sharp scissors directly above the node. Do this in the early morning, when the plant is full of moisture. Use scissors to snip away all the large leaves, but you can leave the small, fresh leaves growing at the tip of the cutting alone. Regardless of the cutting or the conditions it grows in, rooting hormone can give your plant a helpful boost. While helpful, though, this step is not always necessary.  If you have had luck growing other plants without using rooting hormone, or if the clipping you took came from a notably strong confederate jasmine plant, the cutting will likely take root even without the use of rooting hormone. Make sure to keep the soil, moisture, and temperature conditions ideal to give your cutting the most opportunity to grow. If you have never grown a plant from a cutting before, or if you have had difficulty doing so, you should seriously consider using rooting hormone. Rooting hormone is also beneficial in cases where your cutting may not have the chance to sit in ideal conditions. The container should be no more than 4 inches (10 centimeters) deep. Use a potting mix that consists of soil and organic material, like peat. Selecting a mix that includes perlite can improve drainage. Make a hole with your finger or the blunt end of a pencil before inserting the stem to avoid putting unnecessary strain on the stem itself. Pack the soil around the stem to hold it firmly in place. Use a spray bottle, since a watering can is likely to moisten the soil too much. Do not drench the growing medium. As your cuttings develop into seedlings, you should avoid allowing the medium to dry out, but you must also prevent it from becoming soggy. Direct sunlight can dry the soil out too quickly, thwarting its development. Resistance indicates the development of roots, which means that it is ready to be planted in a more permanent spot. Check your cutting after each week. If you do not feel any...

Article in English: Select an area that is well-ventilated. Make sure the area isn't close to a car or anything that could get spray paint on it. An ideal location to spray paint is a place that is outdoors and protected from the wind. Avoid humid conditions. Humidity can affect how your paint dries and adheres. Choose locations and times of day that are less humid. Make sure to protect surface that you wouldn't want the spray paint to get on. Position a drop cloth, cardboard, wood pieces or garbage bag to catch any loose particles that fly off while you paint. Furniture or other items that are several feet (or meters) away should be fine. You can go ahead and grab your personal safety gear (goggles, mask, etc.) at this point. Inhaling fumes from the paint can be dangerous, so make sure to wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth as you paint. You will also need to protect your eyes with goggles. Along with goggles and a mask, wear gloves to protect your hands from excess paint and an apron to protect your clothes.

Article in English: Select an inking tool that will let you trace, fill, shade and employ other techniques as you please. Most artists prefer pens for conventional line work, as it goes on bold and straight. An inking brush might also be used, especially for filling large areas and when you want to taper the width of a line mid-stroke. You should pick the pen or brush that will let you achieve the effect you’re trying to create.  Test out different pen nibs so that you’ll have a several available to you when you need them. The nib is the interchangeable tip of the pen that comes into contact with the paper and deploys ink.  Pens can work as all-purpose inking tools, but a brush can save you time when it comes to shading tasks. It’s usually best to experiment with several kinds of ink to find one that you can work well with. If you’re using a traditional fountain pen for inking, you’ll be able to dip it in an ink of your choice. Inks come in different shades and thickness, and some are better suited for certain drawing tasks than others. For some projects, you might even use more than one type of ink on the same drawing.  India ink is a reliable standard choice for artists, as it is dark, waterproof and permanent. If you’re using prepackaged or commercial grade pens that contain their own ink, switch them out when you need to change how thick or dark your lines are. Before you start inking, examine and feel the paper you’re using. Is it thick or thin? Smooth or rough? Ink will settle into different papers in a unique way. Get in the habit of thinking about paper and ink together. Make sure you’re not using a rough, soft paper with a thin ink, for example, or the ink may bleed.  Browse your local arts supply store for high-quality papers that are designed specifically for inking. You should also be sure to draw on a flat, solid surface and work at an angle that’s most comfortable for you Don’t forget that you have the option of playing around with all sorts of pens, brushes, papers, and ink.

Article in English: Select blooms without moisture. The rose needs to be dry to the touch but should not be too dry that it loses its brilliance. The drying process magnifies and flaws of your rose especially if it has moisture. Pour 2 inches of silica gel (available at craft stores) into an airtight container. Cut the stems to about 2 inches and place the rose in the Silica Gel stem down. Using a circular motion, gently pour the Silica Gel over the roses. Fill the container and make sure the container remains airtight by using masking tape to seal the lid shut.  Keep in mind that the deeper the colour, the longer it will last once preserved. Use a small container to pour the Silica Gel to give you more control. Make sure you get Silica Gel between each petal but don’t squish or damage the petals. Use a stick to keep the petals upright and separated as you pour in the Silica Gel.  Keep at least one inch of Silica Gel to separate multiple roses in the same container. Be sure to record the name of the flower and the date on which you sealed it. Keep the container sealed for at least 2 weeks for standard roses and 1 week for mini roses. Alternatively, you can microwave the gel and flower in a microwave safe dish for 2 to 5 minutes on a low setting. Leave it out to sit for 24 hours before cleaning off the gel. Put on protective gear including rubber gloves, face mask, and protective goggles. Mix 2 ounces of pro-seal 2000 and 3 ounces of denatured alcohol in a bucket.  Prior to an ARS rose show, Pro-seal 2000 should not be used. Pro-seal is a clear, glossy varnish typically used in construction. While it will preserve your rose, make sure that you are careful using it. Always wear gloves and protective goggles. Denatured alcohol is often used as a house cleaner but is toxic when ingested so be sure to wear protective gear and wash your hands thoroughly after handling.
