Problem: Article: Remaining calm is one of the first rules to follow when in an emergency situation. If someone is extremely angry, you need to treat the situation as if it is an emergency. Being calm will help you make on-the-spot decisions. This can be difficult, so remember to breathe. Your body will be telling you it's an emergency, but you need to tell yourself you are going to be okay. The person is angry, so you need to show him the opposite emotion: calm. If you match his anger with your anger, then negative emotions will escalate. Don't allow him to antagonize you into a negative reaction. Take a step back to get some space. Hold both hands up in a peaceful way in front of you to gesture that you do not want any trouble. Determine if the situation is safe. There is no reason why you should put yourself in harm's way. Many lives have been changed forever due to mistakenly participating in volatile situations. Self-preservation is a primal instinct. Pay attention to it. At the first sign of a threat to your safety, leave the area as quickly as you can. If you are forced to stay, or sense that you can handle the situation, you will need to shift into problem solving mode. Clarify what situation has triggered the person's outburst. Every situation is going to be different. Anger runs on a spectrum, from irritation to rage. If you are more familiar with the angry person, then you may be more aware of what triggers this person's outbursts. Clarifying what the person is angry about will allow you to make the next decision on how to handle the situation. Listen to what the person has to say and do not interrupt him. Interrupting or talking over the person will only escalate the situation. It is time to take action to resolve the problem. You need to address four things: define what went wrong; generate alternatives for how it can be fixed; select an alternative; and implement your plan. This is the type of discussion that can take place immediately, or you can make plans to discuss it at a later time. Be clear and tell the person that you are not going to fight with him. Assure the person that whatever the problem is, it can be resolved. You may need to suggest that the person take a break or a walk. Or, you may want to do the same and come back later to discuss the problem. Cooler heads prevail. The goal is to create some distance from the negative emotions. Apologize if and when appropriate. You will need to use your judgement as to when to say this. If you say it too soon, it may make the person angry. Enlist the support of others. If the situation escalates and you have tried unsuccessfully to calm the situation, then you will need to call for reinforcements. It takes courage and strength to admit that help is needed, but it is necessary. Call the police to restore order or report a crime if one has occurred. It is their job to protect and serve. You need to be willing to ask for their help. Family members or friends may be able to help resolve the matter at hand. If you are dealing with this type of behavior in your home, then contact a domestic violence hotline in your area for advice and assistance. If this situation occurs in the workplace, contact your Human Resource Representative to discuss your options.
Summary: Exercise self-control. Establish safety. Clarify triggers. Resolve the problem. Get help.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Add the ingredients and stir them thoroughly until the mixture appears to be all one color. Pour the sauce into another bowl through a fine sieve to strain out any large chunks. Use a wooden spoon to gently force the liquid through. If any chunks remain in the sieve, throw them out. This will give the ingredients a chance to meld and create a single flavor. Pour the sauce into an airtight container and leave it in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving. If you are using the sauce for a glaze or marinade, there's no need to bring it to room temperature, since it will be heated in the process of cooking or grilling. However, if you're using it for a dipping sauce, take it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving to bring it to room temperature. Since this sauce is made with preserved fruit instead of fresh, it will last at least 1 month if refrigerated. Store it in an airtight container in your fridge.

SUMMARY: Put all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir them with a whisk. Strain the mixture through a sieve. Refrigerate the sauce for at least 2 hours to let the flavors combine. Bring the sauce to room temperature 30 minutes before serving it. Store any unused sauce in the fridge for up to 1 month.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: The serious symptoms listed earlier may be signs that you have a ruptured eardrum, caused by pressure from the infection. The following treatments are unsafe with this condition, since the fluids can drain past the eardrum and into your inner ear. Always visit a doctor if you have one of these symptoms along with swimmer's ear. If you have ever had a damaged eardrum or ear surgery in the past, consult a doctor before using the treatments below, even if you do not have these symptoms. Create an equal mix of white vinegar and 70% rubbing alcohol, heated until warm but not hot. Alternatively, purchase a non-aqueous acetic acid eardrop at a drugstore. Putting cold or hot liquids in your ear may lead to dizziness. Try to warm the solution to roughly your body temperature. Some earwax is fine, but if the ear canal is blocked or if dirt or debris is in the ear, it may need cleaning first. Fill a bulb syringe with the vinegar and alcohol mixture and squirt a trickle into your ear canal, letting it drain out. Warm water rinsing is not recommended for swimmer's ear. If your ear still feels blocked, visit an otolaryngologist or ask a general practice doctor for a referral. The otolaryngologist can clean your ear more effectively using suction. Never perform this step on a person with diabetes, not even at a doctor's office. The alcohol will help remaining moisture evaporate, while the vinegar will make your ear canal more acidic. Both of these make your ear a less welcoming place for bacteria. Apply with the following method: Warm the solution by rubbing the container in your hands or placing it in a cup of warm water without mixing the two liquids together. Lie down with your ear facing upward. Have an assistant place two or three drops on the wall of the ear canal, allowing air to escape so drops can get into the ear. Gently wiggling your ears will aid in this process. Remain lying down for a few minutes. If there are no signs of improvement, a doctor should be able to examine your ear and recommend one or more of the following treatments: An antibacterial eardrop (or more rarely, an antifungal eardrop) Insertion of a wick into a swollen ear canal, to allow eardrops to penetrate Oral or injected antibiotics if the infection has spread Surgical cleaning of the ear canal Incision and drainage of an abscess Let your doctor know if you are diabetic, immune-compromised, or if you have had ear surgery or a punctured eardrum in the past.
Summary:
Do not use these if you have serious symptoms. Warm a mix of rubbing alcohol and vinegar. Rinse your ear if it feels blocked. Use the solution as eardrops. Ask a doctor about further treatment.
