Article: Many students think that it isn't important to start doing your best until your first year in high school, but this is far from the truth. If you want to start off your freshman year with Honors classes, you have to make As (or high Bs) in your 8th grade year; otherwise you likely won't get accepted into these competitive, impressive, and highly sought after Honors classes. Every school is a bit different. Some schools require tests to be admitted to Honors classes, some take students based on teacher recommendation, while others will put you in whatever classes you feel like taking. To make sure you can start out high school ahead of the curve, it's best to be impressive during your years in junior high, too. If you want to excel in extracurriculars in high school – which is a great way to get scholarships, attract attention to colleges in general, and show you're well-rounded – you need to start now. There will be some really good athletes and performers in your high school, so keep up with them by starting early.  Experiment with a few activities while you're still young enough to drop them if you don't like them and pick another. And don't just stick to one area – if you're big into sports, branch out to dancing or a musical instrument. If you're more artistic, find something athletic to give a try. You could be great at it! Read the class descriptions and talk to other students who have taken the classes you're interested in. Taking a class just because a friend is taking it too won't help you and, what's more, your friend will probably just be a distraction. Instead, look for classes with students and material that is slightly above your level as the best motivator is competition.  If you're looking to be valedictorian, one of the ways to cinch that is to take loads of Honors classes (provided you can still get As). Straight As in Honors classes are even more impressive than straight As in regular classes, so take as many difficult classes as you can handle – without compromising your GPA, of course. A great GPA in normal classes is better than a poor GPA in Honors. Keep in mind the subjects necessary to pursue your intended career. If you're considering becoming a psychologist, for example, take psychology and sociology over Metal Shop and Ceramics. If you can, look at the textbooks for the various classes. Oftentimes the rigor of the textbook will reflect that of the class. Ask your teacher or office staff if you can get the textbooks during the summer – most schools have last year's textbooks in a closet somewhere just waiting to be read. Unless the books are new and they're being shipped, there's no reason you shouldn't be able to get yours to read for the summer.  Ask your teachers, older students or consult the Internet to find the best sources for supplemental readings. Use several reference books that will augment your understanding of the material. This way you'll be able to truly wrap your brain around any concept your teacher presents you. Don't be afraid of seemingly difficult material. Think of it as a challenge and face it head on. It may be confusing now, but when your class is covering it, it will all click into place and you'll be that much further ahead.

Problem: Article: Ad hominem attacks happen by placing doubt on someone's character or attributes to discredit their arguments. When someone does this, they are undermining someone's case without providing logical evidence as to why. It is important to listen to information and disconnect it from feelings you may have for that person. This will allow you to pull out the facts and stay logical. Emotional appeals are often used in order to get a reader or listener to respond out of sympathy and it can lead someone to act against their better judgment. Be sure to watch out for these types of manipulations and to keep a clear head. " It is very common for someone to agree with an idea or opinion merely because it is a popular one. When deciding your own thoughts, views, or opinions on a particular issue, be sure you know why you feel a certain way. Do not just agree to something because everyone else is going along. Always back your opinions up with your own personal logic and research. This is a pragmatic defect in an argument in which the end result ends up being the starting point. Basically, the proposition for something is supported by the premises, and the premises are supported by the proposition. The argument fails to have valid evidence because the foundation for proof does not have real evidence.Here is a common example:  Person A, "Go to bed." Person B, "Why?" Person A, "Because I said to go to bed."
Summary: Don't practice ad hominem. Avoid appealing to emotion. Don't always hop on the "bandwagon. Beware of circular reasoning.

If the vehicle is extremely low on fuel or out of gas, add some using a red plastic gas container designed to carry and pour gas into a vehicle’s fuel tank.  Gasoline eats through many kinds of plastic, so it is very important you use a container intended to transport it.  Screw the nozzle onto the large opening on the can, then open the breather cap on the other side before pouring the gas into your vehicle.  The breather cap allows air to travel into the can, permitting the gas to pour out into the vehicle’s fuel tank. Be careful not to spill gasoline on yourself or the paint. A common sign of trouble with your vehicle’s fuel system is jerking or inconsistent power while you are driving at a consistent speed, such as on the highway.  If you begin to feel the engine delivering intermittent power despite your foot staying in the same place on the throttle, it may be because of an issue with fuel delivery.  If the RPMs also drop with the engine’s power delivery, that indicates a fuel problem. If the RPMs climb as the power fails to reach the wheels, that is usually a transmission problem instead. If the engine stalls as you are driving and struggles to start or run again immediately after, try letting it sit for a few minutes and trying again.  If the engine starts up and runs properly after sitting for twenty minutes or so, it could be due to a clogged fuel filter.  As sediment builds up in a fuel filter, it can block the passage of fuel into the engine. Once the filter sits for a few minutes, the sediment may settle, allowing fuel to pass through once again. Your vehicle may not be getting fuel because the fuel filter is completely clogged.  Replace your fuel filter by locating it beneath the vehicle and disconnecting the fuel lines going in and out of it.  Remove the filter from the bracket and install a new one to allow fuel to flow to the engine once again.  You can purchase replacement fuel filters at your local auto parts store. A severely clogged fuel filter can lead to burning out your fuel pump. There are a few methods you can use to test your fuel pump to see if it is functioning properly.  Be sure to check that it is receiving electrical current, then you may want to do a flow test to check the volume of fuel it is sending to the engine.  If the fuel pump is not functioning properly, it will need to be replaced. Refer to the service manual for your specific vehicle for instructions on replacing the fuel pump.
