Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Dip celery into any number of sauces. Try dipping your celery sticks in hummus. Consider dipping celery in peanut butter. Dip celery in salad dressing. Try dipping celery in yogurt or cream cheese. Try dipping celery in cheese sauce. Dip celery in soup.

Answer: Celery has a mild, watery flavor that blends well with most things. Experiment with your favorite soups, dips, sauces, and butters, and see what keeps you coming back for more. If you aren't sure whether a particular sauce will go well with the flavor of celery, dip a small chunk of celery in and see how you like it. It never hurts to try. This thick, garbanzo-bean based dip has been used in Mediterranean and Middle-Eastern cuisine for centuries, and it's the perfect compliment to the Mediterranean-grown celery.  You should be able to find pre-packaged hummus in most grocery stores. Plain hummus is great, but it can also come mixed with garlic, eggplant, red peppers, avocado, and other ingredients. Experiment with other Middle Eastern sauces, such as tahini (a sesame seed dip) and toum (a garlic paste). Be aware that these dips tend to taste stronger and saltier than standard hummus. This is a classic move, and it's a great way to add protein to your snack. Most peanut butter is thick enough that you can spread it directly onto the celery stick.  Choose chunky or smooth peanut butter, to your preference. You can find peanut butter in most U.S. grocery stores, and some some stores allow you to grind your own from fresh nuts. Spice up this classic choice by using other types of nut butter: almond butter, cashew butter, or walnut butter, for instance. These are more difficult to find in stores, but many upscale healthy-food retailers may offer them. Make "Ants on a Log": Pimp out your peanut-butter celery stick with raisins, seeds, or even M&Ms. This is a great way to make celery exciting for kids. Ranch is a popular choice, but any creamy dressing will do: thousand island, blue cheese, Italian, Caesar, etc. Serve the dressing in a small bowl or tray for easy access. Be judicious; you can always pour more! Greek or plain yogurt may blend most smoothly with the flavor of the celery, but feel free to experiment with other flavors. Plain cream cheese is fine, but consider trying any number of herbed or flavored cream cheese dips. Fondue, nacho cheese, or any melted cheese sauce will do. You may be able to find cheese sauce in some grocery stores; but consider making your own fondue. This works best with creamy soups: clam chowder, potato leek soup, or even celery soup itself.  You can use celery as a low-calorie replacement for saltine soup crackers or oyster crackers. Celery will not absorb soup in the same that crackers do, but the grooved channel in the stalk will provide a scooping mechanism. Keep 3-4 inch long chunks alongside your soup for scooping, or chop the celery directly into the soup.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Remove or adjust anything the prevents the coil from spinning. Adjust the balance by moving the paperclips to make the motor spin freely. Give the coil a little spin if it doesn’t start on its own. Try the opposite direction if it still doesn’t spin.

Answer: If the coil will run into the magnet as it spins, remove the tape holding the paper clips to either side of the battery and move them up until the coil can clear the battery.  The coil needs to be able to spin freely in order for the motor to work. If you used the battery to create your coil, it should be small enough to skip this step. You may need to experiment a bit with the placement and positioning of the paper clips to hold the coil in place. Squeeze them in close if the ends of the wire keep popping out or bend them out further if the clips are coming into contact with the loop of the coil itself. Make sure both paperclips are even with one another. If they’re crooked, it could impede the coil from spinning. If the coil doesn’t begin to spin on its own, nudge it with your finger to get it started. If it doesn’t spin, press on the tape holding the paper clips to the battery to ensure they’re secure.  The coil will likely begin to spin freely. If it does, the motor is complete. The coil will continue to spin until the battery is depleted or you stop it. If the motor doesn’t start spinning when you nudge it in one direction, try nudging it in the opposite direction to see if that works. This motor should only spin one way, so you may just need to try both directions to find the right one.  Once it starts spinning, it won’t stop unless you stop it. If it doesn’t start spinning, check to make sure your connections are all strong and then try again.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Make a copy of your image file. Open the image in the Preview application. Click the Tools menu and select "Adjust Size." Click the drop-down menu to select the units you want to use. Enter the new width or height that you want the image to be. Check out the new file size. Click "OK" to apply the changes. Save your file.

Answer: It's always a good idea to create a backup of your original image file before making changes to its size. This will allow you to revert to the original in case something goes wrong or you don't like the end result. Select the image file, press ⌘ Command+C, and then press ⌘ Command+V to make a copy in the same location. Usually this will open by default when you double-click the file. If the image opens in something else, you can right-click the file and select "Open With" and then "Preview." This will open a new window that will allow you to resize the image. You can select "Pixels," "Percentage," and several other units to scale the image by. Selecting "Pixels" will allow you to determine the exact size of the resized image. The two fields are linked, and changing one will change the other to keep the image proportions correct. This will prevent stretching or squishing of the image. If you want to freely resize both fields, uncheck "Scale proportionally" to unlink the two. You'll be able to see what the new file size will be at the bottom of the window before you apply your changes. This is useful if you're resizing the image to fit the file size limitations of email or other online services. The image will be resized according to the settings you entered. If you aren't happy with the results, press ⌘ Command+Z to undo the changes and revert to the original size. If you are happy with the new size, you can save your changes to the file. Click the "File" menu and select "save" to save your changes.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Say hello to your teacher. Ask questions outside of class. Get the teacher a gift. Tell your teacher you like the class.

Answer:
This seems pretty easy, and it is. Still, a little politeness can go a long way, and your teacher will probably enjoy the interaction. This can work either in the classroom, or if you see your teacher somewhere else in the school, or even out in public. Make sure you are aware of time and place when you meet. If your teacher looks very busy, or in a hurry to get somewhere, don’t stop for a long conversation. A quick hello is all you will need. Anything more will just be annoying, and won’t help you. If you’re interested in the material, go ahead and talk to your teacher about it, or related topics that interest you. Your teacher wants to create enthusiasm for the subject, so anything you can do to show you are interested will make his day.  When you go talk to your teacher, make sure you have something in mind to discuss. Teachers are busy people, and won’t want to sit around if you have nothing to talk about. A specific question like “I still don’t understand this topic” can help keep you focused and give the teacher something to respond to. A non-specific or blanket statement like “I’m confused” doesn’t help either of you. You can also mention something interesting that is related to the class, maybe something else you’ve seen or read that seems familiar. For example, if your teacher was explaining a scientific principle, mention that you saw something similar in a movie, or the news, and ask if it is the same thing. It shouldn’t be big or special, just a way to suggest you appreciate their effort and like the way they are teaching. Just be careful not to do this too often, or it will look really obvious that you are trying to suck up.  The gift should be something small. Consider getting a gift card or even something you make yourself. A small handmade card or crafty item is more personal, and will help the teacher remember you. Something that reminds you of the lesson you just had can be good, as it tells the teacher you were paying attention. Avoid stuff like mugs or candles. Teachers will get lots of stuff like that, meaning your gift won’t stand out and be memorable. Remember to get gifts for holidays, especially Christmas. Other students will probably be getting your teacher a gift then too, so it won’t look too obvious that you are sucking up. Plus, you’ll definitely look better than those kids that didn’t get the teacher anything. This is a way to tell the teacher he is doing a good job, so if you are enjoying it, let him know. You want to make sure you have been paying attention to the class. If you haven't been, and the teacher has noticed, he won't take your compliment seriously. This doesn’t have to be a long conversation. As you leave, start by telling the teacher “I really liked it when we…” and mention something that you found interesting. Close by saying something like “That was fun” or “I really get that idea now,” which tells the teacher he did a good job.
