Article: It is rare for an individual undergoing a psychotic episode to become violent, although it can happen. Psychotic individuals are at a greater risk of harming themselves. Any threats of violence, self-harm, or suicide should be taken seriously. A history of drug and alcohol abuse increases the likelihood of the person becoming violent. If at any point you suspect the person might be dangerous, either to themselves or to others, call for help immediately. Consider calling an ambulance or other medical experts specificallyif there's no time to look up phone numbers, just call emergency services. If you're in a room with an aggressive person, leave the room immediately. If police arrive on the scene, try to explain the situation before they interact directly with the person experiencing the psychotic episode. Without interfering and endangering yourself or others, encourage officers to remain calm and resolve the situation without the use of force. If the person is dangerous to themselves, remove any sharp objects and dangerous materials from the person and from the room, and lock any un-barred windows and balconies. Try to keep the person calm. Call the police or an ambulance if there's a chance the person will attempt suicide or cause themselves serious physical damage. If they ask why you are holding something dangerous (e.g. a knife), say "I'm putting it away." If someone is prone to psychotic episodes, it may be appropriate to keep sharps/potentially dangerous items locked. Speak to the individual calmly, and try to de-escalate the situation. If the psychotic individual is asking for things or making demands, comply with those that are safe and reasonable. If the psychotic individual is acting violent or threatening violence, don't take it on yourself to solve the problem. You could risk personal harm, especially if you try to engage in a physical struggle with the psychotic individual. Your main priority should be keeping yourself and others safe. If you can do things to protect the psychotic individual (e.g. removing a knife from a nearby table top), make sure to keep yourself safe while doing so.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Assess the situation for danger. Stay away if the situation becomes threatening or violent. Protect the psychotic individual from themselves. Avoid trying to restrain them, or put yourself in harm's way.
Article: Use a five-blade razor to decrease razor burn.. Check the blades for any nicks or dullness. Change the blades if needed to ensure a smoother shave. Rinse your razor under hot water to lubricate the blades and remove any dust, dirt, or leftover hair from previous shaves. For coarser hair, use a men's razor, which is designed specifically for tough hair. Avoid clogging your razor right from the start. Begin wherever your hair is thinnest. Save the thickest, coarsest areas for last, which will allow more time for your hair to absorb the conditioner. " Shave in the direction that your hair grows. Avoid the nicks, cuts, and ingrown hairs that are more likely to occur when shaving "against the grain." Shave only a short stretch at time to avoid clogging your razor. Rinse the blades after each stroke to remove hairs, conditioner, and gunk. Resist pushing the razor hard against your skin and hair, which will increase irritation and the likelihood of razor burn and bumps. Replace the blades if you're unable to shave without pressing hard, since this probably means the original blades are too dull. As you near the end, add more to thicker, coarser hair if the original application seems to have worn off. Give your hair a minute to absorb the new application.

Select the right razor. Start with the easiest part to shave. Go "with the grain. Keep your strokes short. Keep your pressure light. Apply more conditioner as needed.
Article: Roll a piece of paper into a cone. Tape or staple it together, then cut the bottom until it is the height you want it to be. Cut the cone along the side edge, then spread it flat. You'll have a shape similar to a semi-circle. Make the cone 8 inches (20cm) tall for a large luminary, 6 inches (15cm) for a medium one, and 4 inches (10cm) for a small luminary. Alternatively, you can find a template online for a cone, print it, then cut it out with a pair of scissors or a craft blade. Place a wad of clay on top of the parchment paper. Roll it into a thin sheet with a rolling pin, about 18 inch (0.32cm) thick. Make the sheet a little bigger than your template. Air-drying porcelain clay will work the best, but ceramic clay or paper clay will also work. You can find both in the clay aisle of a craft store. Avoid using wax paper. It may sound like a good idea, but it will stick to the clay. Keep a set of 18in (0.32cm) thick dowels to either side of the clay as you roll it. This will prevent you from rolling the clay too thin. Place your cardstock template on top of the clay sheet. Trace around the template with a craft blade, making sure to cut all the way through the clay. Leave an 18 to 14in (0.32 to 0.64cm) seam along one of the straight edges of your clay cone. This will make it easier to put it together. If you made your own template, wrap it so that the side edges touch, then secure them with a long strip of tape. If you printed out a template, there may be a flap for the overlap; assemble the cone according to the instructions. Your clay piece should have 2 straight edges and 1 curved edge. Choose 1 of the straight edges, then make a series of Xs along it. This is known as crosshatching, and it should be no wider than the 18 to 14in (0.32 to 0.64cm) seam you added earlier. Pick the clay piece up an wrap it around the cone, with the scored edge on the outside. Dampen the scored edge using a wet finger or sponge, then press the other edge down on top of it. For an even stronger hold, score the other straight edge just before you press it down. Leave the paper inside the cone. You won't be taking it out until the clay dries. Support the cone from the inside with 1 hand while you use your other hand to smooth the seam down. Run a wet paper towel or a wet finger back and forth across the seam until it disappears. Find a set of mini cookie cutters or clay cutters that are between the size of your pinkie nail and thumbnail. Support the cone from the inside as you press the cutters into the clay. Give the cutter a small wiggle before pulling it out of the clay. Don't worry about the paper template covering the hole. Cut as many holes into the clay as you want to. The more you cut, the more light will shine through! Set the cone down upright in a cool, dry area. Let it dry for 6 hours, then carefully pull the paper template out of the clay cone. Allow the cone to finish drying. This can take anywhere from 12 to 24 hours, depending on the type of clay that you used. If you are worried about the luminary collapsing as it dries, place a small jar inside of it. The jar needs to be tall enough to reach the top of the cone without distorting it. The clay will turn lighter in color as it dries. For example, if you used paper clay, it will go from gray to white. Do not use real tea lights inside these. While porcelain and ceramic clay do not burn, the heat generated by the tea lights can cause the clay to crack. The lack of air circulation could also cause real flames to extinguish after a few minutes. Paint your luminaries or glaze them for a nicer finish.

Create a cone-shaped template out of cardstock. Roll the clay into an 18in (0.32cm) thick sheet on parchment paper. Transfer your template onto the clay. Wrap the template back into a cone shape. Create a series of crosshatches along 1 of the straight side edges. Wrap the clay around the cone, then dampen and overlap the edges. Smooth down the seam. Cut designs into the cone using mini cutters. Wait 6 hours, remove the template, then let the clay finish drying. Use the clay luminary with LED or battery-operated tea lights.
