Article: Many recent models, especially those designed for use with computers or home theater systems, come with built-in shields. Large speaker cabinets such as guitar amps often do not have shielded magnets.  Consult the user's manual for information specific to your speakers. There may also be a panel on the back of your speaker or sub woofer with a bunch of fine print. Sometimes this will mention whether or not the device will cause harmful interference. Try using an electromagnetic field detector if you are not sure. These are reasonably inexpensive and can be used to determine if the existing shield has been damaged. In case you are curious, there is no need to shield your speaker wires. This should be considered a safe distance for magnetic interference. Keep in mind that vibrations from loud sound may cause other kinds of damage to delicate components such as hard drives. Electromagnetic interference is also increased when speakers are used at high volumes. Extra distance may be necessary if you will be blasting your speakers regularly.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Check that your speakers are not already shielded. Place each of your speakers at least two or three feet away from any vulnerable devices.

Problem: Article: Drinking too fast is one way to ruin a night. If you have too many drinks in a short period of time, you may not realize how much alcohol you’ve had and end up sick or worse. Drinking no more than one drink an hour gives your body some time to metabolize the alcohol so that you don’t become too drunk too fast.  Remember that all drinks aren’t the same. 12 ounces of beer, 8 or 9 ounces of malt liquor, 5 ounces of wine, and 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor generally have roughly the same amount of alcohol. When keeping track of the number of drinks you’ve had, however, remember that the alcohol content of individual drinks can vary widely. A high-gravity ale, for instance, could have nearly twice as much alcohol as the same amount of a light beer. If you are having mixed drinks, make sure that someone you trust is doing the mixing, and not making them too strong. Drinking water in between alcoholic drinks helps you to stay hydrated and from getting to drunk too fast. Just remember “Spacers, not chasers!” Going out drinking with friends can be a way of having fun if everyone is safe. It might even seem funny if someone winds up passed out on a stranger’s lawn wearing someone else’s clothes. It’s important to realize, however, that drinking too much can be dangerous and even deadly.  Females are recommended to drink no more than four drinks at a time, and males no more than five. If you are drinking at high altitudes, remember that your body’s tolerance for alcohol may be lower.  Avoid binge drinking, keg stands, and drinking games. These activities can cause you to drink too fast, lose control, become sick, or even experience alcohol poisoning, which can be deadly. If you are worried about drinking too much, or drinking too quickly, you can try showing up late to the bar, party, club, etc. That way, you’ll have less time to drink. You can also try starting with or switching to a soft drink at some point so that you drink less alcohol. Drink plenty of water before, during, and after a night of drinking alcohol. This helps to space out your alcohol consumption so that you don’t drink too quickly. Alcohol dehydrates you as it is absorbed and metabolized, and this can cause a hangover. Replacing that water as you drink and when you wake up will help to ward off the dreaded hung-over feeling.  Many bars have pitchers or containers of water out so you can help yourself. Make sure you locate this early in the night and visit often. If you are at home or at a house party, keep a bottle of water with you so you can hydrate throughout the night.
Summary: Pace yourself. Don’t drink too much. Stay hydrated.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You don't have to tell your friends all the details about why you're grounded. This is, after all, between you and your parents. You can give your friends a generic reason to explain why you can't go to a movie or why you're not texting back. You can say something as simple as, “We had a misunderstanding.” You can be honest with friends about why you're grounded, but don't use this as a time to gripe too much about your parents. Talk about how good it has been to get some “me” time. Talk about being grounded in a positive way by telling your friends that you got to do enjoyable solo activities that you don't normally have time for. Your friends may have done something fun without you, but this won't be your only chance to do something fun. Make plans to do a similar activity. Be sure to get your parents' permission for this activity. Some friends may try to encourage you to sneak out or use the phone when you're not allowed. Don't give in to this type of peer pressure. Good friends will help you respect the rules so that you can finish your punishment and regain your parents' trust.

SUMMARY: Give a generic reason for being grounded. Put a positive spin on your grounding. Try not to get envious. Don't break the rules.

If you are continuing to have difficulty with managing your anxiety and triggers, therapy may be a beneficial option to help you better handle your symptoms. Professional counselors and therapists are trained specifically to help with coping skills such as anxiety triggers.  Find therapists in your area by getting a list of providers through your health insurance. Consider contacting your school counselor, university counseling center, or your work’s Employee Assistance Program for referrals to counseling. Find out about if the therapist has expertise in your anxiety triggers. You can even ask the therapist what kind of evidence-based practices they use. Different types of therapy techniques include CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, Strengths Based, and Prolonged Exposure Therapy. Research the techniques the therapist uses to learn more about them. There may be other treatment options to help with your anxiety if it continues to impair your daily life.  Unavoidable anxiety triggers mean that you may have to encounter certain people or situations regularly and feel overwhelmed often.  Talk with your health care provider or a mental health specialist about medication options if other strategies are not working for you.  A doctor or psychiatrist can prescribe medications to help with your symptoms.  Talk with your primary care provider about options or a referral to a specialist for advice. Talk with a mental health specialist about your medication treatment, and whether it has been beneficial.  Often a combination of medication and therapy are best for severe anxiety. Many people face anxiety that is overwhelming and unavoidable.  Depending on the type of anxiety that you’re facing, talk with a counselor or therapist about support groups in your area.  Support groups are often less expensive than individual therapy. Working as a group on your anxiety symptoms can help you feel less isolated or judged.  A support group is a safe space to engage with others about your concerns. Many support groups are led by trained mental health professionals or peer support specialists who have been through the same anxious feelings as you. Avoid isolating yourself when anxiety hits.  Often this action will in turn make you feel less willing to handle anxiety the next time.  After an anxiety-provoking situation has occurred, instead focus on turning to friends or family that support and reassure you.  Have two or three friends or family that you can call when you’re feeling anxious or overwhelmed.  Talk with them in advance about them acting as your “calling buddies.” Do activities with your friends or family.  If you are hesitant to do things in groups, then find activities to do with just one friend or family member. Trust and confide in them.  The people that love and care about you often want to be helpful and supportive as you learn to handle your anxiety.
