In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You do not need to fill the flask. The less water you add, the faster you will be able to bring it to a boil. However, make sure that you do add enough water so that you don't boil it off too quickly. About 75 mL should do nicely. This will serve as a heat source for your water. Make sure you heat the water to the boiling point. This will force air to expand out of the top of the flask and also generate water vapor to fill the balloon. Remember that the flask is being heated. You should use gloves to avoid burning your hands as you secure the balloon over the opening of the flask. Make sure that the balloon is far enough down on the neck of the flask that it does not pop off easily. It may be easier and safer to put the balloon on the flask before heating the water. Securing the balloon over the top of the flask will create a seal and only allow the air to expand into the balloon. This expansion of air into the balloon will cause the balloon itself to expand. Do not let the balloon get so large that it pops. To prepare the ice bath just put water and ice into a container. This is a very easy and fast way to cool the contents of the flask. Use gloves to transfer the flask from the heat source to the ice bath. The rapid cooling of the gas inside of the flask and balloon will cause the volume of the gas to decrease. As the volume decreases, the volume of the balloon will also decrease, causing it to shrink. As the gas cools even more and contracts even more, the volume of the gas shrinks so much that the pressure outside the flask pushes the balloon completely inside the flask.
Summary: Add a small amount of water to an Erlenmeyer flask. Place the flask on a hot plate or burner. Put the open end of a balloon over the opening of the flask. Observe the expansion of the balloon. Move the flask to an ice bath. Observe the suction on the balloon.

The amount of donations you receive may vary throughout the year, so find a place large enough to accommodate the intake. If you're working with a local church or homeless shelter, they may have a spare pantry or other room that you can fill with food donations. If you are operating on your own, you may be able to start by storing things in your basement or garage. Working with churches, schools, and local government agencies can help bring in food donations. These organizations can also recommend people in need of food supplies to help you build up a client base in your community. If there are other food banks in your area, notify them of your operation. Some banks may have food surpluses that you may be able to purchase, or they may be able to share helpful professional tips. Clients are the individuals and families who will be coming to your food bank to receive food. Follow up with clients that were recommended to you by other nearby organizations. You can also post flyers or advertisements around town to reach out in your community. Then, ask people who would like food assistance to meet with you. This will help you better assess the food-based needs of your community. Figure out how many people (and families) you'll be providing food to, what kind of foods they need, and how often you should distribute. Ask individuals who use your service to write down their dietary needs, the size of their families, and any food allergies. These records can help you better assess what to prepare for them. You can also learn about what sort of food supplies you'll need to gather in general. It's okay to ask how long an individual or family will need food assistance for, or what lead to them needing food assistance in the first place. Often it's because of an injury or an illness. Remember to be respectful, though. Treat the talk more like a conversation than an interview.

One-sentence summary -- Find a place to store the food. Reach out to organizations in your area for food donations. Hold meetings with prospective clients. Gather necessary food-consumption information from clients.

Problem: Article: Finding the cause can help you keep them away from whatever is upsetting them. This is important in calming an autistic child. Observe your child and try to figure out the triggers for certain behaviors. If a parent or guardian is aware of the child's triggers, they may be able to avoid it. Keep a notebook to record the child's common triggers will help you to prevent triggering meltdowns. You might also consider using a smartphone app to log meltdowns and their causes. Some common triggers for meltdowns in autistic children are changes or disruptions in their normal routine, overstimulation, frustration and communication difficulties. Meltdowns are different from tantrums. Tantrums are thrown on purpose, as a power play, and will stop once you give in. Meltdowns occur when an autistic person becomes so stressed that they cannot control themselves, and they feel powerless and will not stop until it has run its course. When there is a routine to be followed, the child can predict what will happen next. This helps to keep the child calm. Illustrated schedules can help the child visually see the routine for the day or week. If you know that there will be changes to the routine on a given day, make sure you take the time to prepare your child. Talk to them beforehand and communicate these changes clearly and patiently. When introducing your child to a new environment, it best if you do it when there is less stimuli. This means bringing your child at a time when there is less noise or fewer people. Verbal communication is a source of frustration for many autistic children. Talk patiently, respectfully, and enunciate clearly. Avoid shouting or adopting an aggressive tone, as it may worsen the meltdown. If verbal communication is difficult for your child, try communicating through pictures or other forms of AAC. Remember that communication goes both ways. Always listen to your child, and make it clear that you value and respect what they have to say. Ask them questions if you need clarification to prevent frustration-related meltdowns. When your child is upset, you can sometimes calm them down by diverting their attention. Try playing enthusiastically with a favorite toy, watching a favorite video, or listening to a favorite song. If possible, involve their special interests. Distraction won't always work. For example, questions about your sister's rock collections might distract from her fears about getting a flu shot, but it won't fix things if her problem is that her dress seam feels like fire ants on her skin. Once the child is calm again, it is a good idea to talk to them about what made them angry or stimulated them in the first place. Ask them what happened and work together to find ways to prevent it from reoccurring. Your child may be upset because they are hypersensitive and overstimulated. When this happens, it's a good idea to simply bring the child to a different environment, or to change the environment (e.g. turning off loud music), to reduce overstimulation. For example, if your child experiences fluorescent lights as a trigger, it is better to take your child to a room with alternative lighting, rather than forcing the child to put up with it. If the child is in a location where the environment cannot easily be changed, take precautions. For example, you could give your child sunglasses (to prevent hypersensitivity to light) or earplugs (to drown out noise) to wear in public places. Brainstorm precautions with your child. Sometimes, children just need time before they feel ready to re-engage. Try letting them sit for a while to calm down, usually in any area with limited sensory stimuli. Consider safety. Never leave a young child alone and unsupervised, or lock someone in a room. Make sure the child is safe and able to leave if they want. Use a solution-based approach: instead of blaming or punishing your child, talk about ways to prevent meltdowns and better cope with stress. Try talking about: What the child believes caused the meltdown (Listen patiently). How similar situations can be avoided in the future. More effective coping strategies (taking a break, counting, using deep breaths, asking to leave, etc.). An escape plan to end future meltdowns.
Summary:
Figure out what triggered the meltdown. Stick to a routine. Communicate clearly with your child. Distract the child if you suspect the cause is emotional/psychological. Change the child's surroundings. Give your child some space. After the meltdown, discuss it with your child.
