INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Some companies have begun making felt tip pens that can detect counterfeit bills. Draw a line or an "x" on suspicious bill to see if it leaves a mark, which can indicate a counterfeit bill. Be aware that detector pens are not foolproof, but work in many cases because their active ingredient, which is an iodine solution, reacts with wood-based paper. Realize that a detector pen may leave a pastel mark on an authentic bill and that it will fade within a day. This can help you identify which bills you've checked. Purchase counterfeit detector pens at most large retailers or office supply stores. They generally cost around $5 and can check up to 3,000 bills.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you can keep a calm demeanor, you'll help the autistic person feel calmer too. Keep a patient and understanding attitude. Show them the same kindness that you'd want other people to show you if you were at your wits' end. Never shout at, scold, or punish an autistic person for being upset. They aren't doing this on purpose, and being unkind will only make it worse. If you can't control yourself, it's better to leave than to make the situation worse. Sometimes, they may be overwhelmed, and need quiet time. Other times, they might be experiencing difficult emotions related to something in their life (like a bad grade at school or an argument with a friend). During severe sensory overload, people who are ordinarily verbal may suddenly lose the ability to speak. This is due to severe overstimulation, and will pass with relaxation time. If someone has lost the ability to speak, ask only yes/no questions that they can answer with thumbs up/thumbs down. If you cannot, encourage any people in the room to leave. Explain that unexpected noise and movement are hard for the autistic person right now, and she would be happy to hang out again sometime later. Sometimes, the person might want you there to keep them company and help them calm down. Other times, they might want to be alone for a while. Either way, don't take it personally. If they can't speak right now, let them answer with a thumbs up/thumbs down. Or you can say "Do you want me to stay or leave?" and point at the ground and at the door, and then let them point to where they want you to be. If a small child wants to be left alone, you can sit across the room and do something quiet (like playing on your phone or reading a book) so there is still an adult present. When they're distressed, they may be unable to think clearly, and they may have trouble doing simple tasks like taking off an uncomfortable sweater or getting a drink of water. Help them out, without infringing on their personal space. If they're tugging at uncomfortable clothing, offer to help them remove it. (Don't try to remove clothes without permission, as this can be startling and upsetting.) If they're trying to drink from the sink, get a cup for them. Move dangerous or breakable objects out of their way. Put a pillow or folded-up jacket under their head to protect it, or put their head on your lap if it's safe. If they are throwing things, it might be that the throwing motion calms them down. Try giving them something that can be thrown safely (like a throw pillow). Let them throw it, and then retrieve it so they can throw it again. This can calm them. If you don't feel safe getting close to them, then don't. Let them continue until they calm down and wear themselves out. Parents, teachers, and caregivers may know how to help. They may be able to offer specific insight about the autistic person's particular needs. Police are not usually trained to help with autistic meltdowns, and they may worsen the situation or hurt your autistic loved one. Instead, get someone who the autistic person knows and trusts.

SUMMARY: Take a moment to calm yourself. Ask what's wrong, if the person is able to speak. Take them to a quiet place. Ask if they want you to stay with them. Help them with any difficult tasks. Keep them safe if they are thrashing, flailing, or throwing things. Get help if you don't know what to do.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This position will stretch out your inner thighs.How to Do a Butterfly Stretch Begin by sitting on the floor with an upright, relaxed back. Your shoulders should be back, not rounded or hanging forward. Bend one leg at the knee and bring your foot toward your body. Repeat with the other leg. Don't force your legs farther than they will go comfortably. The soles of your feet should be facing each other. Gently press your knees toward the floor and lean forward over your feet. You should feel some stretching in your groin and lower back, but stop if you feel discomfort. Hold the stretch for three long, slow breaths, then return to sitting. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes slightly facing outward. Your knees should be relaxed, not locked. Slowly slide your legs apart until you can't go down any lower. Do not stretch any further than your body naturally allows you. Hold this position for 30 seconds. (To help yourself stay balanced, lean over on your hands and use them to support part of your weight.) From the standing straddle, slowly bend your knees and lower your hips to the ground. You can support yourself with your hands. Once sitting, stretch your arms in front of you and lean forward as far as you can. Your hands should touch the ground if possible. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds. You will feel the stretch in your lower back and your inner thighs, but you should stop if you feel pain. Return to the sitting straddle position. Lean forward and stretch your arms toward your toes. If you can reach your toes, hold onto them. Hold this stretch for 30 seconds.

SUMMARY:
Sit in the butterfly stretch position. Return to a standing position and perform a standing straddle. Sit back on the ground while maintaining the straddle position. Reach your arms out to your sides.
