Q: While it is perfectly normal for someone to occasionally become angry, and even raise their voice, frequent outbursts of sudden, explosive anger are not normal, especially when that anger manifests in violent or abusive behavior. It is important for you to understand that their rage, and the violence it brings with it, is not in their control. Explosive episodes, as opposed to normal expressions of anger, are characterized by being: Abrupt, seeming to come out of nowhere. Much more extreme in intensity than is warranted by the event or situation triggering it. Violent and aggressive, either physically (e.g. screaming, invading personal space, or hitting objects, oneself, or other people) or emotionally (e.g. name-calling, threatening, or use of hurtful, insulting language). Irrational, and seemingly impossible to calm with words. Remember: your loved one's issues with anger are not your fault. Violence and abuse is never acceptable, and you have every right to take steps to avoid being harmed. While you can certainly help a loved one dealing with impulsive aggression by supporting them and learning about their condition, it is crucial that they seek the additional, outside help of a trained mental health professional. Encourage them to consult an expert, and remind them that no one should have to deal with a serious medical issue like IED without the help of a doctor. Having a neighbor, friend, or family member close by who understands your loved one's rage issues, and the danger it poses to you, can be of great benefit to you should you ever need help. Let the person know that you'll be relying on them, and make sure they understand your plan of action, and what they may need to do in the event of a violent episode. Be honest with whomever you tell, and resist the urge to sugar-coat your description of the explosive episodes in an effort to save face. A trustworthy confidant will not judge you, and will understand that IED and its effects are complex. If you are responsible for children, coordinate with trusted friends or family to establish a plan for them, should you need help getting them to safety while you deal with an explosive episode. If you are experiencing domestic violence, contact a domestic violence hot line, a women's shelter, or emergency services right away. Decide where you will go should you need to escape an explosive episode. Remember that episodes can occur at any time, even very late at night, so the place you choose should be accessible to you at all times. If there are children or others living with you, discuss the plan with them, and consider practicing getting safely out of your home with them, so that you are all prepared should the need arise. It is a good idea to prepare a bag of essential items to take with you should you need to escape. Pack any important papers or documents you may wish to have with you, as well as extra clothes, house and car keys, money, and any medications you may need. Someone undergoing an episode of explosive anger will be unable to respond rationally to the situation they are in, and will behave unpredictably, and even violently. The best course of action for your safety is to remove yourself from the situation as quickly as possible. You should already have prepared a plan, and decided where you will go for safety. Don't worry about explaining yourself to your loved one: you'll have time to do that when they are calm. Removing yourself not only protects you from immediate danger, it also ensures that you won't be tempted to argue with, or retaliate against, your loved one. Retaliation can be a natural response, but can often lead to an escalation of the episode, resulting in increased danger for everyone involved. If you or anyone else is in immediate danger, or you are unable to escape a violent episode, contact the police immediately. If someone is hurt, go to the emergency room and explain your situation: the doctors and nurses there will treat your injuries, and help you find resources to keep you out of harms way. If you are frightened of being harmed by your loved one, and need a place to go, contact a domestic violence hotline, or a local women's shelter or crisis center. If you are in the U.S., you can reach the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233. The NDVH can connect you with local resources such as counselors, shelters and support groups.
A: Recognize when you are in danger. Encourage your loved one to seek help. Tell someone you can trust about your situation. Take precautions, and make a plan of action for emergencies. Remove yourself from explosive episodes. Contact emergency services for help.

Q: Place the entire plate and wrapping in a microwave. Heat the paste on a high heat setting for 45 seconds. The amount of time you need may vary depending on your microwave, but this approximates to 40-50 seconds for a 500 W microwave. Undo the plastic wrapping from the plate, leaving the wrap itself intact with the rice paper on it. You may instead hold the plate upside down, but the plate will be hot and wearing oven mitts can make removing the rice paper too difficult. Attempt to lift up the edges of the rice paper. As the paper cools, the edges may lift a little by themselves. Move slowly, continuing to lift one edge of the paper even if it starts to tear. Flip the rice paper upside down before you add filling.
A: Microwave the mixture. Hold the wrap upside down. Remove the rice paper.

Q: Only capitalize the first word, words that come after a colon, and proper nouns. Don't put quotation marks around the title. Put a period after the title. Let's say the name of the article you want to cite is "Ecuador: History and Culture." The beginning of your entry would look like this: "Ecuador: History and culture." If the article includes an organization name or an anonymous author, you'll use that instead of the title. for "no date" in parentheses after the title. This tells the reader that no date was included. Use lowercase letters and include a period after the "n" and "d." After the parentheses, put a period. Your entry would now look like this: "Ecuador: History and culture. (n.d.)." Capitalize each word of the name, except for "of," "and," and "to." Put a period after the name. This is what your entry should look like now: "Ecuador: History and culture. (n.d.). Select Latin America." Include the entire URL of the site where you found the information you're citing. Do not put any punctuation at the end of the citation, unless it appears in the URL. Here's how your final entry might look: "Ecuador: History and culture. (n.d.). Select Latin America. Retrieved from http://www.sla.com/ecuador.html/" Just as in your in-text citations, you can use the organization that published the article if one was provided. Write the organization name first in your entry on your References page, in the same place you'd put the author. If the website name is the same as the organization name, don't write it again after the page title. You can skip that part of the references entry and go straight to "Retrieved from." For example, let's say you're citing an article called "Relaxing with Deep Breathing," which was published by the American Psychological Foundation. No date is provided. Here's what your entry would look like: "American Psychological Foundation. (n.d.). Relaxing with deep breathing. Retrieved from http://www.apf.com/Relaxing_and_deep_breathing/" Write "Anonymous" in place of the author in your citation, then format the rest of your entry as a typical website reference. You might be citing a web page titled "Being Mindful During a Dog Walk," written by an anonymous author. It's posted on a website called Bark Bark Friends, but there isn't a date. Here how your entry would look: "Anonymous. (n.d.) Being Mindful During a Dog Walk. Bark Bark Friends. Retrieved from http://www.barkbarkfriends.com/mindful_dog_walks/"
A:
List the title of the article first if no author is listed. Write n.d. Include the name of the organization, publication, or website in italics.
