INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Getting all of the electronics off of the circuit will prevent it from surging. If you have labels on your breaker box for what each switch controls, take the time to check what needs to be unplugged. If you're not sure what each breaker controls, unplug the electronics in the area where the breaker tripped before working on it. Use either a flathead or Phillips-head screwdriver depending on what screws are on the panel. There will at least be 2 screws, but there may be more. Set the screws aside in a safe place so you know where they are when you need to put the panel back on. As you remove the last screw, hold the panel up with your non-dominant hand and slowly remove the panel cover. A multimeter is a machine that tests the voltage or current through electric components. Plug the black wire into the port labeled "COM" or "Common," and plug the red wire into the port labeled with the letter V and the horseshoe symbol (). This will ensure you're measuring the voltage of the breaker. Multimeters can be purchased at your local hardware store or online. Check the casing on the wires to make sure they have no cracks or damage. Electricity will travel through the cracks and possibly cause electrocution. If you see any damage, use a different multimeter. Hold the probe, the exposed metal end of the wire, so you aren't touching the exposed metal. Touch the end of the probe to the screw on the left or right side of the breaker. Look for where the white wires leading from your breakers attach. Place the end of the black probe anywhere on the neutral bar to complete the circuit on your multimeter. Do not touch the neutral bar with bare skin since it could cause electrocution. If you have a double pole breaker, place the end of the black probe onto the second terminal screw of your breaker to get the correct reading. If you have a single pole breaker, check to see if the reading is around 120 V. It may be slightly above or below, but this is fine. If the breaker reads 0, it needs to be replaced. If you have a double pole breaker, make sure the reading is between 220-250 V. A faulty double pole breaker will read at 120 V, meaning it's only operating at half power.

SUMMARY: Unplug or turn off all devices connected to the breaker. Unscrew the panel from the breaker box and set it aside. Turn on your digital multimeter. Hold the red probe against the screw on the breaker you're testing. Put the black probe against the neutral bar. Compare the reading on the meter to the breaker requirements.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: There are a few companies that offer web free hosting services and make it easy to quickly set up a simple website with your own personalized content. The tradeoff for this is typically a custom subdomain (containing the company's name) and significantly limited options for the look and feel of the site. Yola, Google Sites, Freehostia, and Biz.nf all offer some basic website design and hosting options for free. If you plan to post continuously or wish to have a site with a greater number of distinct pages (e.g. a blog), options like Tumblr, Blogger, or Wordpress may be a better fit. They offer more limitations on the look of your free web site but little to no restriction on the overall size. Shop around before you choose. Different web hosts offer different features and all will limit the options in their free packages. Consider the features that matter most to you before signing up. Free web hosting usually lacks a data backup plan so be extra careful about backing up your files. Most services will require an email address and other verifiable identity information to get started. Some may require credit card information as well if payment is to be invoked automatically based on your specific usage, but this should be rare. If you have a Google account already, signing up for Google Sites or Blogger will be as easy as signing in and then navigating to the correct page. Many (but not all) free web hosts also supply free domain names or subdomain names (URLs containing the company's name). Typically you will be prompted to determine a URL shortly after signing up and will first have to check for its availability. Choose your domain name carefully. While some hosts may allow for changes to your custom domain name in the future (subject to availability and typically adjustable through your profile settings) others may not. Free website hosts may not let you use fully customize the look and feel of your website but instead offer pre-made themes with customizable options. For many this can be a blessing, as these templates and tools allow for the easy creation of an attractive and professional-looking website. You should be able to browse available templates and sample websites before signing up for a given service.

SUMMARY: Search for the free web host that fits your needs. Sign up with your new web host. Choose your domain name. Build your website.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: to quell anxiety. If fear has you temporarily paralyzed, activate your body's natural stress response with deep breathing. Draw in air from your nose for about 4 counts. Hold the breath briefly. Then, exhale from your mouth for about 8 counts. Repeat this deep breathing exercise for as many cycles as you need to feel calm. Fear can make you feel out of touch with the here and now. Ground yourself in the present by reconnecting with your 5 senses. Look around you and find 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste. Reach out to your loved ones when you are afraid. Talk to them about what you are thinking or feeling. Ask them to help distract you from your fear. Or, make a practical request. You might say something like, "I'm afraid to sleep here alone. Will you stay with me?" Use a positive affirmation to empower yourself when fear happens. You might repeat statements like, "You're perfectly safe at home" or "This, too, shall pass" to remind yourself you can get through anything. If you're afraid of something like asking someone out on a date or speaking in front of a crowd, embolden yourself by saying, "Feel the fear and do it anyway." Fear can cloud your perspective and make you feel like there's nothing but negativity in your life. Override that by purposely seeking out the good. When you feel fearful, try to identify whatever's going right. For instance, if you feel afraid of public speaking, you might list "good" things like, "I'm dressed well. I prepared all last night for this. My friends are in the audience, so I can look to them for courage." Go outdoors and get some fresh air to help you calm down when you are afraid. Take your dog for a walk, plan a hike with friends, or take a book to a nearby lake.

SUMMARY:
Breathe deeply Ground yourself if you lose touch with reality. Ask friends and family for support. Repeat a mantra to remind yourself you're safe and capable. Focus on the good things in your life to boost positivity. Spend time in nature to help you feel calm.
