INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fold the granulated sugar into the eggs in three even amounts. This forms the meringue. Depending on the type of coloring you're using, use about 10 drops of liquid coloring or just the tip of a knife for solid food coloring. Mix through using a silicone spatula. Fold the combined mixture together well with a spatula, over and over until smooth. If you lift a bit of the mix out with the spatula, it should form a thick ribbon as it drips back in. Alternatively, test a bit on a plate; it's ready if it forms a smooth dome and not a peak. It will need to be folded again if it looks like a peak. Pour the macaron mixture out onto the prepared sheet in a circular shape (it helps to draw the shapes onto the sheet first using a lid or other suitable circle template). Tap the edge of the baking sheet when you've piped all of the macarons onto the sheet––this helps the macaron mixture to settle in place. During this time, the macarons form a light top that isn't sticky. Place the macarons in the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes, or until they appear firm and glossy.  Pour the cream into a heavy based saucepan. Bring to the boil. Add the white chocolate, cut into small pieces. Allow to melt Mix the melted chocolate through, then add the violet syrup. Mix to combine. Remove from the heat and allow to cool before using. Repeat with all remaining macarons. Arrange on a pretty cake stand or favorite plate lined with a doily. These meringue treats also look wonderful as gifts arranged in rows inside a cake box or wrapped in clear cellophane.

SUMMARY: Prepare the baking sheet by lining with parchment paper. Mix together the icing sugar and powdered almonds until well combined. Sift the granulated sugar into a mixing bowl. In another bowl - whisk the egg whites until firm. Add the food coloring to the meringue mix. Add the icing sugar and almond mix to the meringue mix. Pour the macaron mixture into a piping bag with a smooth piping end. Leave the macaron sheet to rest in a dry place for 15 to 30 minutes, minimum. Preheat the oven to 285ºF/140ºC . Remove from the heat and leave to cool before sticking them together. Make the ganache or filling while the macarons are cooling: Pipe the ganache onto a macaron and assemble another macaron on top, like a sandwich filling. Serve.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Do not wave your arms or hands around, as this can be seen as aggressive by the dog. Clench your fingers together into loose fists and keep your arms at your sides. Plant your feet hip width apart and stand still. Do not try to touch or pat the dog, as this can be interpreted as aggressive. Never reach out to touch a dog you do not know. Do not stare in the dog’s eyes or meet it at eye level. Instead, look at its feet or at your own feet. This will let the dog know that you are not a threat. Position your body so you are facing one side of the dog. Do not stand so you are positioned head on with it or behind it, as this can spook it. Avoid yelling or shouting around the dog, as this can scare it. Instead, speak in a low, calm voice. You may say “Hello there” or “Nice doggy” to let the dog know you are friendly. If you know the dog’s name, try saying its name a few times calmly and slowly. This will let it know you are not a threat. If the dog gets close to you and does not display signs of aggression like growling, crouching, or barking, allow it to sniff your legs or waist. Stay still as it sniffs you. Once it smells you, it may determine you are not a threat and move away from you. If you are not comfortable letting the dog sniff you, move away from the dog safely and slowly so neither of you are in danger.
Summary: Stand still with your arms relaxed at your sides. Avoid making direct eye contact with the dog. Move to the side of the dog. Speak slowly and calmly around it. Allow it to sniff you.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A leather-based shoe will own  with its own natural waterproofing abilities, but you're going to want to do everything you can to make sure water isn't able to get in. Getting a relatively inexpensive sealant spray and give your shoes a thorough going-over is a smart idea, especially if you live in a wetter part of the world. Let's face it; most of the time you're making something from home, it's because you want to put your own unique spin on it. You have plenty of chance to do so even after the shoe is made.   Taking a leather paint and adding an inventive design to the sides of the shoes is a fun and effective way to add style to your creation.   There are countless ways you can stylize your shoes. Look online for some ideas if you're in need of inspiration. Now that your spiffy creations are finally finished, it's time for the defining moment of trying them on and putting them to use. Try walking down the hallway or the street and get a hang for the way they feel. Are they comfortable? Do you think they could keep out water if you accidentally stepped in a puddle? If this is your first time making shoes, it's perfectly normal for there to be issues. If you're not satisfied with the end result, you can always put the expertise you've gained to good use and make another pair.  If it's just the insole that's uncomfortable, you can buy gel-based insoles (like Dr. Scholl's) to give your feet some much-welcomed cushion.

SUMMARY:
Waterproof your shoes with a sealant spray. Add decorative touches to your shoes. Take them for a test walk!
