INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Being the best student in a class is about more than just getting good grades. You should also work on being a good person. You don't want to be a bully or a class clown; that will not make you the best student in the class. Focus on making people feel good by giving them compliments and telling them when they do a good job. Don't be mean to people and tease them or say hurtful things. Be a good person by helping people when you can. If you know how to do something or you have an easier way of doing it, show them how. Don't make yourself seem smarter or better, just be nice and friendly. You can also do small nice things, like holding a door open for them or helping them carry something heavy. For example, if someone was gone for a few days, offer to help them get caught up and share your notes with them. Even when people are mean to you, you should still be respectful. Don't shout at them or physically hurt them. Don't call them names or cut in front of them in line, just to spite them. Simply ignore them and treat them like you would treat anyone else. Be respectful to people by not talking over them and definitely giving them a chance to talk if they want to. Respect their opinions and don't worry if they think a little bit differently than you. You should also let people be themselves and don't make them feel bad for being unique or different. When you're in class, stay as calm as you can. Don't run around and disrupt people. You should also try not to get stressed when school gets tough. This is bad for you and it might also cause you to lash out at other people.  Help yourself calm down by breathing slowly. Remind yourself that everything will be okay. You're strong enough to do this! Avoid worrying about perfect grades. Perfect grades really only matter your last year and a half of high school and then when you're in college (if you plan on going to graduate school later). Otherwise, just focus on learning the material as well as you can and don't worry about the numbers or letters that your teacher assigns. Knowing the material is more important than getting a grade. Try to help everyone have fun. Be enthusiastic and positive when you're in class. This excitement to learn will make everyone feel more okay about learning. It might even get some people to show excitement when they wouldn't normally let other people see that they care. For example, you might start learning about the planets in your science class. Find a cool picture of your favorite planet and show it to other people, then challenge them to find a cool picture of their favorite planet. Most importantly, be yourself. You can't be the best person you can possibly be if you're pretending to be someone else. Do the things that make you happy. Share the things that you love. Be friends with the people that get you and make you feel good about yourself. Don't worry about what other people think. The truth is that years from now, you won't even remember half of their names. If they don't think you're the coolest person now, you're not going to care in five or six years. What you will care about is how unhappy you are that you didn't do things that made you happy.

SUMMARY: Make people feel good, not bad. Be helpful to everyone. Be respectful to people, even when they're being mean. Stay calm. Make things fun for everyone. Be yourself!


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Fades require a barber who knows how to do it. Ideally, this short-cropped hair will gradually fade into nothing as it goes down the neck. You'll need to get it touched up fairly often, at least once a week to keep the look. Again, the common theme here is to suggest wealth: you can afford to get your hair cut every week. Wearing these tight braids in a variety of patterns is a common and iconic gangsta look. Basketball players and suburbanites alike have embraced this method of braiding tight controlled rows of hair close to the scalp. Worn long or short, the cornrow is a classic look. The do-rag originated as a style when African-American men would "conk" their hair in the early 20th century. Conking involved essentially killing the hair with chemicals to straighten out its curls, sometimes resulting in a specifically reddish bleached tint. Malcolm X, for instance, was known as "Detroit Red" as a young man for his usually-conked hair. After the process was completed, which involved a painful process of combing lye into the scalp, the "do" needed to be protected by wearing a "do-rag" around for a couple of days. In this way the rag became popular. Wearing a do-rag generally has no connection to the conk do anymore, though the rag is still common.

SUMMARY: Get a fade. Try cornrows. Wear do-rag.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If your vehicle was built prior to 1996, you will need an OBD I scanner.  Vehicles made after 1996 will need an OBD II scanner.  Connect the code scanner to the port beneath the dashboard and turn it on.  Once connected, use the scanner to bring up the error codes making the check engine light come on.  In some code scanners, it will provide the English description of the error code on the read out. If your code scanner does not, you will need to look up the code the scanner shows you to find out what it is. Insert the key into the ignition and start the engine.  Wait a minute for the engine idle to level off, then use a pen and paper to write down the RPMs that your engine settles and idles at.  You may need to let the engine run for a few minutes in order for it to come down to its normal idle speed. Keep the paper you write the RPMs on handy so you can compare it to the engine’s idle as you continue the test. With the idle RPMs noted, shut the vehicle back off and remove the key from the ignition.  Open the hood and locate the Idle Control Motor.  Once you locate it, disconnect it.  The way to disconnect your Idle Control Motor will vary from application to application; refer to your vehicle’s service manual for more specific instruction as to how to disconnect it. You can usually disconnect the idle control motor by unplugging the wiring clip going into it. With the Idle Control Motor disconnected, get back into the vehicle and start the engine again.  The engine should still start and run without any issue despite the idle control motor being disconnected. Be sure to tuck the wiring you disconnected up in the engine bay so it doesn’t get caught in any moving parts. Allow the engine to run for a minute so it settles to a consistent idle, then take note of any difference in the idle RPMs versus the idle you observed earlier.  If the idle has not changed at all, it’s likely because your idle control motor has not been functioning.  If the idle control motor was working, disconnecting it should have created a difference in the engine’s idle. This test confirms there’s an issue with the idle control motor, but not what the issue may be. If you identified a difference in engine idle RPMs with the Idle control motor connected and disconnected, confirm your hypothesis by reconnecting it and starting the engine again.  The idle should go back to what it was when the idle control motor was last connected. Refer to the note you took about idle RPMs to compare it to your first reading.

SUMMARY:
Use a code scanner to check error codes. Start the engine and take note of the idle RPMs. Shut the car off and disconnect the Idle Control Motor. Restart the engine. Look for a difference in idle speed. Shut off the engine and reconnect the Idle Control Motor.
