Problem: Article: Put the chopped celery into a colander. Hold it under running water and move the pieces around with your hand to wash any dirt and other substances off. This is especially important if you are using non-organic celery to make sure you remove any traces of pesticides or other chemicals. Try to use organic celery for making juice whenever possible. Pour the strained juice into a cup of your choice. Drink the juice immediately for the freshest taste. You can store leftover juice in a mason jar or other sealed container for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
Summary: Wash the celery pieces in a colander to clean them. Serve the juice right away.

Problem: Article: At school, many kids will stick to their different cliques or groups of friends. Skateboarders hang out together, cheerleaders hang out with other cheerleaders, athletes will hang out with their teammates. Don't restrict yourself to one group of friends. Make friends with anyone who you enjoy being around. Chew gum in class. Interrupt the teacher and challenge their lesson if you don't think it makes sense or see the point. You can even prank or joke around, just be aware of the consequences if you get caught pushing your freedoms too far. If you don't agree with a rule, argue it at a school meeting or see the principal. You can also start a petition and turn your rebellion into a movement. Most people think that being a rebel means that you have to misbehave or get into trouble. This can lead to behavior that is harmful to yourself or others. Being a rebel is about challenging the status quo, not fighting against the system. Act in a way that still benefits you and allows you to learn, without accepting whatever they tell you without question. Don't think you need to quit a team sport to be a rebel. If you like baseball, you can still play and be a rebel, too. Think about Charlie Sheen's character in the movie "Major League." He played baseball with a mohawk and geeky glasses and stood out from everyone else on the team. Stand up and help others that go against expectations. Don't tolerate or support bullying. Do not let any other students push you around. Usually, bullying is just a way that people reject someone for being different from the norm, which is what being a rebel is all about too.
Summary: Do your own thing. Break the rules. Demand change. Maintain your personal interests. Take a stand.

Problem: Article: It's important to understand the basics of the backgammon board before you begin to put your checkers on it. Here is what you need to know before you begin to set up your board: The board has 24 narrow triangles called points. The triangles alternate in color and are grouped into four quadrants of six triangles each. The board's four quadrants include player one's home board, player one's outer board, player two's home board, and player two's outer board. Each player's home board is in the right quadrant closest to the player. The home boards are opposite each other. The outer boards, located in the left quadrant, are also opposite each other. The triangles are numbered from 1-24. The 24-point is the point that is further from each player, on the leftmost side of the player's opponent's home board, and the 1-point is the rightmost triangle on the player's home court. Each player's points are numbered in an opposite way. One player's 24-point is the opponent's 1-point, one player's 23 point is another player's 2-point, and so on. It's easier to set up a backgammon board if each player sets up his or her own checkers. Each player should have a set of checkers that is all one color. Checkers are usually white and brown or black and red, but it really doesn't matter as long as there are two different colors of checkers. Since the game is played in a horseshoe fashion, this point will be the "furthest" away from the home board. The 24-point is the closest point to one player on the left side of his board and on the right side for the other player. Keep in mind that as the players set up their checkers, the checkers should always create mirror images of one another. The 13-point will be on the same side of the board as the 24-point, the rightmost point on each player's opponent's side. If you want to be sure that you are putting them in the right spot, count backwards from where you placed the 2 checkers on the 24-point until you reach the 13-point. The 8-point will be on the same side of the board as each player's home board, just two spaces away from the central bar. But again, if you want to be sure that you are placing the checkers in the right place, count backwards from where you placed the checkers on the 13-point until you reach the 8-point. The six point is right next to the bar for both players but on opposite sides of the board. Count back from the 8-point checkers to be sure that you are placing them in the right spot. These last five checkers will be the only ones that start out in your home board. You can use these checkers to create primes in your home board that may prevent the other player from reentering the board if you hit one of his blots.
Summary: Understand the backgammon board. Have each player take his or her 15 checkers. Take two checkers and put them on your 24-point. Position five checkers on your 13-point. Put three checkers on your 8-point. Place the five remaining checkers on your 6-point.

Problem: Article: Reverse psychology can work great in certain situations. However, keep in mind it is a subtle form of manipulation. Using reverse psychology habitually can be incredibly damaging to relationships. These kind of small situations can build up overtime, leading to resentment in a relationship. Your partner, for example, may get tired of not getting their way and begin to get mad at you. Reverse psychology can get frustrating, especially if you're using it on children. Headstrong children, and people in general, may take awhile to come around to your way of thinking. You want to keep calm and maintain your cool. If your child has an emotional outburst while you're using reverse psychology, remain calm. Allow the child to carry on. With patience, your child should calm down and behave. There are certain situations where reverse psychology is likely to backfire, and the consequences can be serious. You should always refrain from using reverse psychology when someone's health and wellbeing is at stake. For example, say your friend is chronically afraid of doctors. They have a suspicious mole growing on their right shoulder and is resistant to getting it checked out. Do not say, "You're right. Do not go to the doctor." Your friend's fear of doctors may greatly outweigh their need to resist, and you may reinforce a dangerous behavior.
Summary:
Do not overuse reverse psychology. Stay calm when using reverse psychology. Avoid using reverse psychology in serious situations.
