Article: The best sources for scrap aluminum are old machine parts. Car cylinder heads, transmission cases, water pump housings and pistons are all great examples. More common sources are things like beer and pop cans, furniture frames, home siding, window frames, and turkey and pie pans. However, these sources tend to be weaker alloys that have lots of impurities, which means that they create more slag and oxidize quickly. An easy way to melt aluminum cans and prevent oxidizing is to add them to a pool of already molten aluminum. When you are working around extremely high temperatures, it is important to wear proper safety gear. When handling molten metal, you should wear a thick and long-sleeved shirt, pants, an apron, a face shield or glasses, and leather gloves. These things will prevent molten metal from burning your skin. Because molten aluminum can give off noxious gasses, you should also wear a respirator. When working with molten aluminum, some alloys will give off noxious fumes. Because of this you will want to work in a well-ventilated space or outdoors. This will also help keep you cool while working around extreme heat and avoid dehydration or heat stroke. If you begin feeling sick, have a headache, or are dizzy, turn down the foundry and take a break. Go to a cool place and drink some water. Before you begin melting aluminum, make sure that you have the necessary tools for handling molten metal. You will need a pair of metal tongs, a metal strainer or stirring rod, a crucible, and a foundry. Things like the foundry and crucible can be made at home or bought at a store or online. Because of the relatively low temperature necessary to melt aluminum, it can be melted in a variety of unsafe methods outside of a foundry. Avoid melting aluminum in large bonfires or on BBQ grills. These methods are less controlled and can lead to a fire or injury. If you are new to working with molten metals, be sure to work with a more experienced person before attempting to melt aluminum.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find proper pieces of aluminum. Wear proper safety equipment. Find an open or well-ventilated space. Use proper tools. Be safe.
Article: " If the dog continues to behave aggressively, and ignoring or pacifying him is no longer working, face him and sternly command him to leave.  Use a strong, deep, and confident commanding voice. Continue to avoid making eye contact. The dog may become discouraged or intimidated and leave. If the dog starts biting you, you've got to defend yourself. Hit or kick the dog in the throat, nose, and the back of the head. This will stun the dog and give you time to get away.  It's okay to raise your voice at this point. Yell for help as you're fighting back. Hopefully others will hear and come to your aid. However, avoid screaming as this may lead the dog to strengthen his attack. If you have a stick or another weapon, you can (and should) use it to hit the dog. Don't hit him over the top of the head, though; most dogs have very thick skulls, so this will only serve to make the dog angrier. If available, mace or pepper spray also work as a good defense against an attacking dog. Fight as though your life depends on it, because it does.  Dog attacks can be fatal.  While you certainly don't want to hurt a dog unnecessarily, you should use force as necessary if you are being seriously attacked. Bring your entire body weight to bear on the animal, specifically pushing down with the hard points of your knees or elbows. Dogs are vicious biters but cannot wrestle, so try to get an advantageous position and break their bones fairly quickly. Get on top of the animal and concentrate force on areas such as the throat or ribs while minding to keep your face out of clawing/biting range. If you are looking for a more humane solution and can manage it, straddle the back of the dog with your partial body weight and apply forward pressure to the back of the neck to immobilize the dog until help comes. If you fall to the ground during the attack, not only is it more difficult to fight off the angry dog, but vital areas on your torso, head, and neck become more vulnerable to attack. These are the most important spots on your body to protect because bites in these places will inflict the most damage and will have the greatest chance of killing you.  Protect your vitals by rolling onto your stomach, tucking your knees in, and bringing your hands (balled in fists) up to your ears. Resist the urge to scream or roll away, as these actions may further encourage the dog. Once the dog loses interest in you, leave the scene of the attack slowly by backing away without sudden movements.Staying calm and stationary can be a real test of your nerves in such a stressful situation, but it's the best thing to do as long as the dog isn't actually biting you.

Face the dog and command, "back away. Fight back against an attacking dog. Use your weight to your advantage. Protect your face, chest, and throat. Leave the area slowly and carefully.
