INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Ask an employee for help if you are not sure what to choose. Do not use chemicals from other sources. The chemicals sold at the pool supply store are at a specific concentration intended for pools. Sodium thiosulfate is probably the most common chlorine neutralizer, but requires care when handling. Hydrogen peroxide is often the cheapest option, and breaks down into harmless substances. However, this is much less effective if your pool's pH is below 7.0. Never add chemicals to a pool while swimmers are using it. If other people have access to the pool, put up clear warning signs. Many pool chemicals can cause injury if they come into contact with lungs, eyes, or skin. Review this safety checklist before you continue: Read the product label carefully for safe handling instructions. Follow all recommendations for safety equipment, and review emergency protocols. Store pool chemicals in a well-ventilated storage area, away from sunlight, heat, and moisture. Do not store acids and chlorine near each other. Do not store dry chemicals next to or underneath liquids. Only have one chemical container open at a time. Close the container and return it to storage before opening another. Always follow product instructions to determine how to add it to the pool, and how much to use. Many chemicals are available in different forms and in different concentrations, so a general guide cannot cover every option. Generally, when adding sodium thiosulfate, allow for about 0.5 ounces (15mL) per 1,000 gallons (3,800L) water. If you're treating a public pool, go with a more accurate measurement. 2.6 ounces (77mL) sodium thiosulfate will lower chlorine by 1 ppm in 10,000 gallons (37,900L) of water. A pool store employee or an online pool chlorine lowering calculator can help you with this formula. Adding too much of the neutralizer can cause major problems: your chlorine can drop to zero, and the unused neutralizer will remain in the pool to destroy the next batch of chlorine as well. Use or as much as you calculated. Give the pool time to adjust according to label instructions. Test frequently and do not enter the pool until parameters are back to normal. If your measurements stabilize but chlorine is still too high, add another small dose of neutralizer. If your circulation system is slower than average, you may have to wait longer for the neutralizer to take effect. . These chemicals usually lower the pH of the pool. Be prepared to raise the pH once chlorine is back to normal. The pH value should be between 7.2 and 7.8, and ideally as close to 7.5 as you can get.

SUMMARY: Purchase a chlorine neutralizer from a pool supply store. Close the pool. Follow safety precautions. Calculate how much you need. Add the neutralizer in small doses. Wait while testing frequently. Raise the pH if necessary

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Wait 5-10 seconds for the saliva to dry. Try to do this discreetlywhen you're aloneand not in a public place, or you may get strange looks from those around you. Avoid trying this test just after you've brushed your teeth, used mouthwash, or eaten something minty, as a freshly-cleaned mouth may give you inaccurate results. This is, more or less, what your breath smells like. If it smells unsavory, then you may need to improve your dental hygiene and overall health. If it doesn't smell like anything, then your breath probably isn't too bad--but you might need to try another self-test to be sure. Bear in mind that this method primarily pulls saliva from the tip (anterior portion) of your tongue, which is fairly self-cleansing. Thus, smelling your licked wrist will only tell you how the best-smelling part of your tongue smells--and most bad breath tends to originate from the back of the mouth where it meets the throat. You can wash the saliva off of your wrist, but don't worry if you don't have access to water or sanitizer since the smell will dissipate quickly as the skin dries. If your breath problems are relatively minor, you may not be able to smell much. If you're still worried, consider trying another self-testing method to give yourself a "second opinion". Use a finger or a piece of cotton gauze to reach deep into your mouthbut not so far back as to trigger your gag reflexand wipe the surface of your tongue at the back of your mouth. Any bad-breath bacteria lurking back there will come off onto the swabbing tool. Sniff the swab (your finger or the cotton) for an accurate sense of how the back of your mouth smells. This method may reveal bad breath more precisely than merely licking your arm. Chronic halitosis is caused by bacteria that breed on your tongue and between your teeth and most of these bacteria congregate near the back of your mouth. The tip of your tongue is fairly self-cleaning, and you may clean the front of your mouth more regularly than the back of your mouth. Try swishing with antibacterial mouthwashin the front and the back of your mouthto keep bacteria from hiding out on the back of your tongue. Gargle with mouthwash, if you can, to keep bad-breath bacteria from congregating in your throat opening. When you brush your teeth, make sure to brush your furthest back teeth, and be sure to brush your tongue and gums.
Summary: Lick the inside of your wrist. Smell the inside of your wrist where the saliva has dried. Try swabbing the back of your tongue.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A plain white-cotton blouse is an essential piece to a modern vintage wardrobe. It is basic enough to be dressed up or dressed down, depending on your mood and environment. Conversely, blouses with loud prints make great vintage statement pieces, but only if you have enough plain modern clothing to tone the prints down. Layer simple white vintage blouses with colorful modern cardigans, or take that bold vintage print and tone it down with a solid-colored jacket. High-waist bottoms add a vintage signature to any outfit. The cut is often very flattering on any body type because it elongates the hips and waist, and can be paired with just about any modern or vintage top. Pair high-waist shorts or pants with a simple white collared blouse to create an effortless day-look. When picking out dresses and skirts, try and find ones that will fall around your ankle or calf, and that sit high on your waist. This style was very popular in the 1940s and 1950s, and will be easy to dress up or dress down with modern accessories. Swing skirts can easily be paired with a printed T-shirt, and shirt-waist dresses look great when layered with a modern cardigan or leather jacket. Many modern shoes have little vintage-inspired accents. Heels with rounded toes and shoes with white laces are reminiscent of vintage looks. Putting on a pair of these, or even leather loafers, will add both modern and vintage touches to an outfit. Colorful heels with a rounded toe can easily modernize a vintage dress or skirt. Pair it with accessories that match the heels to further tie together the look. Strap on some sandals with your high-waist shorts and a printed T-shirt for a great summertime look. Pearls and golden or rustic-looking lockets are great vintage accessories to have. Most likely, however, you are going to need more modern accessories than vintage to help bring modern accents into an outfit. Your modern jewelry should help accentuate a specific color within the vintage piece you are wearing. Edgy geometric necklaces, earrings, or bracelets will add modern touches to any vintage outfit.

SUMMARY:
Gravitate toward plain white or colorful printed blouses. Choose high-waist pants and shorts over low-rise bottoms. Look for high-waist swing skirts and shirt-waist dresses for a more feminine feel. Slip on heels with rounded toes or basic laced shoes. Get a mixture of vintage and modern jewelry.
