In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Humidity can cause your icing to dry 3 times slower than if they are placed in an area with dry air. Place the dehumidifier in the same room as your baked goods, turn it on, and place it on the highest setting. Leave it turned on until the icing is completely dry. If you don't have a dehumidifier, turn on the cool air-conditioning instead. This also helps to prevent the icing from losing its shape. It is important to ensure that the heat is turned off so that the baking doesn't get burnt. Simply turn the oven on and then wait for the light to turn on. If a light doesn't come on automatically, select the light icon on your oven or turn the dial to the correct setting. If you don't want to use an oven, use a heat lamp instead. Place the tray into the middle of the oven to allow for maximum airflow. Position the fan on the middle setting and place it at least 1 metre (3.3ft) away from the baked goods so that the airflow doesn't cause the icing to bleed or change shape. If you notice the icing losing its shape, simply move the fan further away or turn down the wind speed. This works best on cakes or cookies with a single layer of icing, as multiple levels of icing are more fragile and tend to be affected by the strong wind from a fan. A heat gun is a rather specialist piece of equipment, but it is incredibly effective and may be a useful purchase if you do a lot of baking. Hold the heat gun about 1 inch (2.5cm) away from the icing and wait for it to dry. This normally only takes a few minutes. Purchase a heat gun online or from a speciality baking store.
Summary: Turn on a dehumidifier if the baked goods are in a humid environment. Put the baked goods in the oven with only the light on to speed up the process. Place a fan near the baked goods to increase the airflow that it receives. Hold a heat gun over the icing to flash-dry it.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you see a dog that you think might be a German Shepherd and are curious about the breed, approach the owner and ask. For example, you could say something like "Is that a German Shepherd? It is such a cute dog." Alternatively, you could say "What kind of dog do you have? I am considering getting one." Most dog owners will be happy to tell you about their dog and the breed. If you are unsure of your dog's breed or lineage, ask your veterinarian to help you identify the breed. Veterinarians will be familiar with the breed standard of most dog breeds. They will be able to easily examine the physical characteristics of the dog to help with identifying the breed. If you are purchasing a German Shepherd from a breeder, you should talk with the breeder about the puppy's parentage and lineage to make sure that you are getting a purebred dog. A licensed breeder will be able to provide you with paperwork that proves both parents are recognized as German Shepherds by the American Kennel Club. Make sure that you always use a breeder that is licensed by the American Kennel Club. This will also help to ensure that you are purchasing a purebred dog. There are a number of applications available that can help to identify different dog breeds. In order to use the app, simply upload a photo of a dog and the app will identify the breed. For example, try using the Microsoft app called Fetch! These apps are not always 100% accurate, but a German Shepherd has fairly unique characteristics.
Summary: Ask the owner. Talk with your veterinarian. Ask the breeder. Download a dog breed identification app.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: They would much prefer to avoid a human and, if given the chance, will escape rather than attack you. The problems humans face with snakes usually arise due to accidental encounters or human actions towards the snakeboth of these problems can be managed from the human side, as this article will explain. Snakes like to be hidden most of the time but warmer weather or surfaces can entice them out to sun themselves too. For the most part, snakes like such places as under rocks, on ledges, in trees, inside hollow logs, under wood piles and in shrubbery. They can also be found in waterboth land and water-based snakes can swim. Things to note include: Snakes are masters of camouflage. They can easily be overlooked for leaf litter, sticks and plant materials. This is why you are at greater risk of encountering a snake when going off-path and into thick vegetation. The human defensive skill when walking amid potentially dangerous wildlife is vision and whenever human sight is reduced, the risk increases. However, they can hear through their inner ear via their jawbone, and what they hear are vibrations. Thus, having a heavy footfall as you walk will help to alert a snake you're coming, allowing it to slither off in the opposite direction. This inability to hear in the same way that we do can be used to your advantage, as you can alert your fellow humans that you have come across a snake without any concern that your talking will aggravate it. As already explained, snakes don't want to attack humans but there is one guaranteed reason a snake will seek to bite a human and that is when the snake feels threatened. A snakebite is a defensive reaction, not a deliberate attack. After all, it wants to live as much as you do. A snake will most likely feel threatened when: You tread on it. While this may seem unfair, it's a case of the snake not knowing what has suddenly landed on it and you being surprised at its presence. Surprise is something you can control and prevent. The snake is cornered. A snake, like any animal, will react unkindly to feeling it has no escape from a potential predator (yes, you look like a predator to a snake, as you're much larger and you're moving). Some snakes are more fiercely defensive than others, so always presume a snake will fight its utmost to stay alive. You hassle the snake in any way, such as chasing it, throwing rocks at it, trying to pick it up, or worse still, trying to kill it. Knowing when a snake is turning defensive can help you to take fast evasive action. Things to watch for include: The snake curls itself up; in some snake species, this can be a sign it is getting ready to strike. The snake raises its head. When done in reaction to an encounter, it is a fairly good indicator that the snake is getting ready to strike. Striking distance of a snake is generally about half the snake's body length but you should give the snake at least double that length of space between you and it. Moreover, this is dependent on the snake type, hence the need for learning more about the snakes in your walking area, before you go walking. A lazy-looking snake is as capable of attacking as an active one. A snake is able to attack from any position, so assume that any snake needs to be avoided. Baby snakes are harder to see and likely to be more easily frightened than an adult snake and are just as dangerous if threatened. Dead snakes can still bite, due to biting reflexes and venom lasts a long time post death. Hence, obey the best rule of all in relation to snakesdon't touch. While we may (or may not) have the same fear reactions to snakes as other primates, we have the advantage of learning to help us to manage such fear. We have many things to fear in our daily lives, but we manage these things through learning and better understanding. For example, we know not to step out in front of a moving car because we have learned what the outcome will be if we do. Snakes are no differentthe more we learn and adjust our behaviour accordingly, the better we can stay safe and avoid snakes. Moreover, if we cannot avoid a snake encounter, we can at least know how to react to increase the chances that both human and snake depart each other's company unscathed. The remaining steps will help you to better understand how to avoid snakes and how to cope should you come across one.
Summary:
Realize that the majority of snakes do not seek an encounter with humans. Know where snakes hang out. Be aware that snakes hear differently from humans, as they lack external ears. Understand what causes a snake to attack a human. Know what to be wary of in the snake's body language. Assume nothing about a snake's willingness or otherwise to attack. Learn more about snakes.
