Summarize the following:
You will need to be able to stack these stones so that they will provide a sturdy base for your bath. Look for stones that are large and relatively flat. Take the stones you have found and stack them, one on top of the other. Try to arrange them so that they are level. It will be a bit like a puzzle, as you try to match the jutting edges in some rocks with the gaps in others. Birds sometimes use bowls lying directly on the ground as birdbaths. They prefer, however, for their birdbaths to be at least a few inches off the ground, but it is not absolutely necessary that they be very high up. Once the stones are relatively level, place a trashcan lid on top of them. You do need to pile the stones very high. Your priority should be creating a level surface for the lid. The lid should be deep enough for you to fill it with 1-2 inches (2-5 cm) of water and wide enough that there is enough room for you to put a large stone in the center and still have space for birds to get inside. It is counterproductive to have more than 2 inches of water in a birdbath. Place a heavy stone in the center of the trashcan lid to hold it in place on top of the other stones. Be sure the stone is centered or it will throw the lid off balance. Once the lid is secure, fill it with water. The birds should show up in no time!

summary: Find large level stones. Stack stones. Build the stone pillar at least a few inches off the ground. Place a trashcan lid on top. Secure the lid with a large stone. Fill the lid with water.

Summarize the following:
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.

You can do this by contacting your local social service department or religious/charity organization. Find out what you can do to help locally and what is needed. Support local homeless shelters.Give time and/or money to your local shelters to make sure they survive. A lot of shelters have been moved out of the city areas where they are most needed because they are "unsightly." Volunteer at local shelters and soup kitchens. This will give you a chance to meet the people who use them, thus giving poverty a face and a voice and discuss with them what they need. Pay attention to the laws and bills being enacted in your local area, or country. Weigh in against laws that seek to punish the poor, simply for being poor. Support a living wage and basic labor protections for workers so that people can afford to live off their earnings, rather than being forced to two-three minimum wage jobs that barely feed them and their families. Contact your local Senator or Representative by phone or mail and tell them you want increased spending on anti-poverty measures (there is a wikiHow for how to contact your Senators and Representatives. You can find their public address and phone numbers by typing in your area code on www.Congress.org). A phone call will only take 15 seconds and you won't be asked any questions. Elected leaders want to give what people in their constituency want, so if enough people call wanting more spending on anti-poverty measures, then Congressmen will endorse bills that accomplish that. Donations, especially monetary donations, to certain local organizations will make a huge difference in fighting poverty in your community. Most organizations that work to alleviate poverty have tight budgets and little funding and they need all the help they can get from community members. Give your time to your charity organizations. Help in a soup kitchen or food bank particularly during holidays. Donate toys and clothes to a food bank. Make sure that the clothes and toys are in decent condition and aren't stained or ripped. Donate food. Food banks need nutritious, non-perishable foods like meals in a can, peanut butter, canned meats, canned fruit and veggies. Also donate unopened spices. Spices are too expensive for most people who are homeless or poverty-stricken, but they can make all the difference in making a meal taste better.
summary: Locate where the need is in your community. Support laws and bills help alleviate poverty. Donate.
