I’m supposed to write something about writing. Being an author this shouldn’t be a complicated task. Give some tremendous tips, talk about becoming a writer, encourage you never to give up on your dreams, write some witty prose. Yet, I can’t seem to find a topic I want to write about, or make the words form on the screen.
Why is it so hard to write? Is it because I don’t feel accomplished enough to give advice? I mean I’m still new to this life. Yes, I have three books out, and am editing my fourth novel, but I’m far from being a pro. Just like all writers, I’m still learning the whole process. So what pearls of wisdom can I pass to you?
I started to write about clichés. I spent three days searching the web for articles and opinions on the subject. Believe me, I have my own opinion on this subject, but somehow couldn’t finish the article. What about switching POV’s? Yep, I have very strong beliefs about that subject also. However, the topic wasn’t calling to me. So what is my advice to you?
Although I’d love to blame my writer’s block on personal issues like, struggling with back pain, family problems, kids, husband and daily life, yet that doesn’t wash. I have lots of friends that are in the same boat of juggling writing with family and still manage to write. Maybe it’s because I spend too much time on Facebook and Twitter. Could they be the culprits stealing my ideas and time? Is there any excuse to blame for my lack of writing?
So is my article really about nothing? If so you might as well stop reading right now because it won’t help you. Alas, my article is about something. It’s to show you – and myself – that we have absolutely no excuses for not writing.
Over the course of ten years I wrote five books. Well, technically, 3 full length novels, one novella, and one story is only half finished. But these stories came naturally. They flowed from my mind and heart through my arms and into my fingertips with such ease that my only problem was typing out the words fast enough.
In that same ten year period I had all the same problems of juggling family and writing – minus the back pain, that is a recent development in the last year or so. But I still wrote and I LOVED it. So, if I’m being honest, I can’t blame anyone or anything except myself!!
My problem now is that the stories aren’t flowing like they used to. I have the ideas and characters but I can’t seem to pull them from my mind and get them onto the paper or screen. I tug and pull but the ideas are stuck. I fight and struggle but no new ideas come. After a while I just gave up and stopped writing. It’s exhausting work wrestling with words all day. So am I done writing?
But in the last two years I’ve been busy getting my manuscripts ready to publish. I’ve edited and revised and edited again. Then there’s the covers, formatting and marketing. I do confess to hiring out some of this stuff. I pay for professional editors, and found a guy who formats my ebooks pretty cheap. Thankfully I have a good friend who is a graphic designer and does my beautiful covers. She also formats for my print books. I hire out this work because it’s areas that I’m not good at and I want a professional product to sell. But I’m still busy promoting my books.
And I have to confess that I really enjoy the promotional part of my job. I know, many of you hate the aspect of selling. But I love telling people about my books. I think that is some of my problem. I’ve switched gears and need to get into a new routine. As much as I enjoy my time marketing and promoting, I need to find time to write.
Although I’ve been on a break from writing, I need to find the discipline to start again. There is a balance between promoting, writing and even family. I had it once and I must find it again. So what is my point of this article?
I’m sure you’ve read lots of different articles on writer’s block. I have too. Not sure what will work, and everyone is different so what works for one person may not work for someone else. As for me, I think I’ve just lost my focus and discipline. I also need to stop forcing the ideas. In desperation I posted about not being able to write this blog post.
I was truly upset because Brian had emailed and asked if I’d be willing to write something for his blog. Being truly honored and grateful that he’d read my tweets and thought I had something to offer, I said yes. But as I thought about the article and tried different things, I couldn’t get any thoughts out. I was forcing subjects that weren’t compelling my mind to think. After a few Facebook friends gave suggestions, and one said I was overthinking it, therefore making myself panic, I knew she was right. So I took a deep breathe and started to write a new subject. This time the words flowed easily and my blog post was soon done.
So if you are feeling blocked or think that writing is getting too difficult, just relax and stop forcing it. Maybe writing something else will help. Or try a different angle in your story. But don’t give up. Keep trying!!
Sometimes I don’t know what I’m writing. I was asked to write a column for Will Roberts Weekly Telegram. I’m starting to put my Fourth book together in my head, it will be a lot different than the first three, yet there will be similarities. Great interview Brian!
I know what you mean about writing the book in your head. Don’t worry about it being different. I have written in several different genres. Write the book that is in your heart. That is the story that needs told. Worry about promoting and marketing later.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a frequently occuring, brain-based, neurodevelopmental disorder with substantial negative consequences for individual and public health. Once viewed as a childhood condition, it is now recognized that a majority of cases persist throughout adolescence and adulthood. The lifelong impact of ADHD often extends beyond the disorder’s defining features of developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity.
Misinformation about ADHD abounds. Some assert that ADHD is not real. Critics variably maintain that childhood inattention and hyperactivity are normal, the diagnosis is subjective, behaviors attributed to ADHD arise when parents and teachers fail to maintain appropriate discipline, older students fake symptoms to obtain academic advantages or performance-enhancing drugs, adults are similarly drug-seeking or looking to excuse various life failures, or that the condition represents a conspiracy by pharmaceutical companies and organized psychiatry to increase medication sales.
This could not be further from the truth. Indeed, ADHD is among the most scientifically validated psychiatric disorders. Its diagnostic reliability is well demonstrated and on par with many conditions in general medicine. Medications for ADHD have been used for over 70 years in millions of individuals annually, creating an indisputable record of real-world safety and positive result.
Having ADHD is associated with significant added risk for developing other mental health disorders, as well as functional impairments, across a range of life domains. These domains include educational attainment, social skills, occupational success, personal relationships, parenting, personal safety, and general health. ADHD is associated with increased lifetime risk for anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and impulse control disorders. Children with ADHD have increased rates of learning disabilities, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, depression, anxiety, and other conditions, compared with unaffected children.
ADHD occurs in all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups and is not a function of intellectual ability.
Like many psychiatric conditions, the causes of ADHD are multifactorial, involving an interaction of multiple genes and environmental factors. The biological basis of ADHD is strongly evidenced in genetic and brain imaging studies.
There is growing appreciation of the extent to which interactions between genetic and environmental factors increase disease risk. Although both genetic and environmental ADHD risk factors (maternal smoking, increased maternal age, prematurity,parenting style, parenting conflict, family stress,…) are identified, none is causal and many individuals with them do not develop the disorder. Evidence suggests that underlying ADHD genetic risks have greater expression in the context of high environmental adversity and are attenuated with increased psychosocial stability.
Neuropsychological models emphasize deficits in cognitive function that are consistent with brain imaging abnormalities. One popular neuropsychological model suggests that ADHD arises from primary deficits in executive functions (EFs), generally defined as cognitive processes that support appropriate problem-solving skills aimed towards achieving future goals. Specifically, EFs maintain information about possible choices in working memory and facilitate integration with other relevant information from the current environmental context in order to make optimal choices in a given situation. EF deficits in ADHD include working memory, response inhibition, and general weaknesses in executive control. Executive function (EF) processes are largely function of the prefrontal lobes, which are implicated further with behavioral hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. Impaired EF appears to play an important role in the complex neuropsychology of ADHD, but it does not adequately explain all cases of the condition.
what is the diagnostic criteria for adhd?
Despite demonstrated biological difference in groups with and without ADHD, the condition remains a behaviorally defined syndrome diagnosed by careful assessment of symptoms and clinical history, not by laboratory tests or brain imaging.
ADHD is diagnosed on the basis of persistent difficulties from symptoms of inattention and/or hyperactivity-impulsivity that occur to a greater degree than expected for an individual’s developmental level.
DSM-5 retains the same set of 18 ADHD symptoms used in DSM-IV, nine inattentive and nine hyperactive/impulsive.
According to the criteria in the DSM-5, persistent impaired behavior for a minimum of 6 months that exceeds what is expected for an individual’s developmental level and is characterized by at least 6 or 9 inattentive and/or 6 or 9 hyperactive-impulsive symptoms is required to make an ADHD diagnosis. If the individual is 17 years of age or older, only 5 of 9 symptoms are required.
The person also must show some history of symptoms before age 12 and at least several symptoms must occur in more than one setting (e.g., home, school, social relations, work, recreational activities, etc.). The symptoms also must result in clinically meaningful impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning (for example the individual had a negative job performance review).
what is the treatment of adhd?
Treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents usually requires a team approach that coordinates various interventions in office, family, and school settings. This includes services by physicians, psychologists, teachers, and other mental or behavioral health professionals.
The multi-modal approaches to ADHD treatment in children and adolescents have proven successful in maximizing improved global functioning. These domains include Psycho-education, Family-Focused interventions, School-Focused interventions (section 504 plans, standardized testing accommodations, behavioral classroom management), and Patient-Focused interventions (pharmacotherapy, social skills training, individual psychotherapy).
Pharmacotherapy is the only intervention to yield large treatment effects on core ADHD symptoms. Optimal ADHD management usually combines medication treatment with psycho-social interventions that target patient-specific difficulties.
For adults, preliminary evidence supports a potential role for psycho-social interventions, including psycho-education, cognitive behavioral (CBT) and other therapies, school and workplace accommodations, coaching, and support groups. Optimal treatment generally combines medication management with problem-specific interventions selected for individual patients. The most useful interventions tend to be brief, well-structured, skill-oriented, and specific to ADHD.
Treatment algorithms for medication selection in adults are less established than those for younger individuals. The FDA has approved both stimulant and non-stimulant medications for adults. As with children, adult clinical trials consistently show larger treatment effect sizes for stimulants versus non-stimulants. Potential benefits of any stimulant are easily assessed with short-term titration. Larger effect sizes, safety, and ease of titration support the recommendation to use stimulants as first-line adult treatments, similar to pediatric ADHD. Atomoxetine (Strattera) is also indicated for adults and provide a second-line alternative if stimulants prove unsatisfactory.
The FDA-Approved Medications for ADHD include the 1) stimulants: Methylphenidates, D-Methylphenidates, D-Amphetamines, Mixed Amphetamine Salts (Adderall) and Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse); and the 2) nonstimulants: Atomoxetine and Extended-release alpha-2 agonists. The FDA-Approved Methylphenidate (MPH) and Amphetamine (AMPH) formulations are produced in immediate release, sustained release and extended release.

In honor of St. Patrick’s day this week, we thought we would do an Irish-influenced dish. I’m fairly certain this recipe doesn’t qualify as authentic Irish cuisine. But it is pretty darn melt-in-your-mouth delicious! Plus this is a very “hands- off” meal idea, your slow cooker and a can of Guinness do all the work for you!
-Serve with Irish Soda Bread, Between Pretzel Buns or with Potatoes!
Happy (early) St. Patricks Day!

By now, most of us – techies or not – have heard something about ‘heartbleed’. If you haven’t yet, then now is a good time to start brushing up on your knowledge.
Heartbleed is arguably the biggest online security flaw to be discovered in the last few years, as it affects just about every internet user on the planet. The list of affected websites is long indeed, and includes the likes of Facebook, Yahoo and Gmail (now we’ve got your attention).
Basically, the flaw allows someone to gain access to your once secure passwords, and I would bet a fair amount that the National Security Agency in the United States has been using such a flaw in their global spying campaign.
I don’t have enough space to go into detail, but suffice to say that Heartbleed affects the very core of the internet security protocols that many sites rely on.
Unfortunately there was not much that a regular user could have done about it, but now that we know about the flaw we can take some proactive steps towards protecting ourselves in the future.
At this point, most of the major sites have updated their security and are no longer susceptible to Heartbleed, but that does not mean your data is safe.
It is very possible that emails and passwords were compromised before the fix took place, so one needs to change the passwords of any site that you feel holds personal or sensitive information. A huge pain for those of us with accounts across the web, but better safe than sorry.
In light of this, it is now the perfect time to invest in a ‘password manager’ for your device. These nifty programmes make the managing of multiple passwords much easier, as well as helping make them more secure. I would highly recommend taking the time to try out ‘LastPass’ or ‘RoboForm’. They can be a little bit of a mission to set up, but the security and convenience they provide is well worth it.
As online fraud gets worse we need to rely more and more on ourselves, and less on the companies we use, to protect ourselves. This lesson will be particularly hard on those are not particularly tech savvy, but if my 64-year-old mother can learn, then so can you!

The two days will be a grand celebration of Indian cinema and all the artists who have contributed in taking Hindi cinema beyond the realm of our own nation. The awards will be held at the MetLife stadium, in the heart of New York.
There will be a live telecast of the celebration on Colors TV.
IIFA rocks will be held on the first day, in which artists from all over the world will come together to mark music composer AR Rahman's 25 glorious years in the industry. Actors Manish Paul and Riteish Deshmukh will be the hosts for the evening.
AR Rahman will be joined by Diljit Dosanjh, Benny Dayal, Javed Ali, Neeti Mohan, Jonita Gandhi and Haricharan Seshadri for a never-seen-before musical medley.
The IIFA awards will be a star-studded event with some epic performances by Bollywood celebrities. This year there will be some performances by Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Alia Bhatt, Shahid Kapoor, Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon, among others.

Since IIFA awards are known to be a mixed bag of dance, drama and comedy, this year Varun Dhawan, Karan Johar and Saif Ali Khan have been roped to host the main awards. It will be a joy to watch Dhawan, with his impeccable comic timing, match up to Saif's eloquence and Johar's spot-on sarcasm.

During a press conference, Johar said that he and Saif have started working on the script already. "The script is never final till the last day, therefore there is going to be a lot of improvisation," he added.
Apart from hosting the night, Dhawan will also be performing to some of his father, filmmaker David Dhawan's songs. Varun had earlier mentioned that his performance will be a tribute to his father, who has been making films for the past 28 years. Varun is currently shooting for Judwaa 2 with Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu. He revealed that one of the songs from his film titiled 'Oonchi Hai Building' will be launched on the IIFA stage. The song is a remake of the 1997 original starring Karishma Kapoor and Salman Khan.
The front-runner films in the race this year are Neerja, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Pink and Kapoor and Sons. Firstpost had earlier done an extensive nomination round-up. Here's a quick guide of who's nominated for which award at IIFA 2017.
With just eight days to go, the excitement around IIFA 2017 is palpable.

Im sorry but I am actually drinking the red arrow root been as i write this and Iabsolutely love it. I thinkit has the perfect amout of licorice and carbonation. Other brands have itmore bubbly. But if you want something smoother, go to Bisbee, Arizona and their local brewery makes the best root beer i have ever had.
It does seem to be popular with the licorice loving crowd, as I stated it would be. I really didn’t like it that much though.
It tastes better than the current flock to me, even A & W,, to me. As the big Mafias have all watered down their products.
I’m in the “I disagree” crowd. We tried this last night and absolutely loved it. I like the stonger tastes – have had a few that are too mild lately. I’m looking to trying the Hires I found recently and comparing to that to my memory banks.
I can’t be as specific on the wintergreen & licorice flavors, but I suspect that’s why i like it. And unlike some of the other stronger-flavored, this has a nicer finish with no unusual after taste. I recommend giving it a try and deciding for yourself! I’m glad I discoverd it.
It does seem to be the most popular root beer that I don’t like.
I’ve seen this site before while on my quest for the best root beer, and so when I found red arrow this weekend, I had to come back. As a die hard “licorice lover,” this is my new favorite root beer. It used to be a toss up between Hank’s and Henry Weinhardt’s, but Red Arrow has thrown them aside. I am drinking a Hank’s as I write this, longing for another Arrow.
Just tried Red Arrow. I like it, but its almost not a root beer. Maybe something in the category of the Virgil’s Bavarian Nutmeg brew. Very good, but not a root beer.
Brigham’s Brew is my all time favorite, but I have yet to try Hank’s as I’ve not found it anywhere in Utah. Henry’s were good before they dropped the honey and went HFCS instead.

My scenario is JMS to Proxy .
Third party which is sending the messages in JMS queue has said that PI is not picking the messages as a result few messages are getting timed out .
But on PI side I don't see any error or failed messages at communication channel level .
I don't see any issue at JMS sender communication channel .
We are accessing JMS provider over JNDI .
If you stop and start the adapter do the messages get picked up?
If so, one solution that we implemented was to put a scheduling on the adapter to start and stop every X min/hours.
This is kind of a known issue when it comes to JNDI based connections.
I am facing same problem and posted my query in below link in details with screenshot of issue .Could you please check and suggest how this can be resolved.
Normally they placed their message in their queue and if MQ set up is correct it will come to MQ in sap side and from there PI adapter picks it up.
1. check the connection is working between 3rd party MQ and SAP MQ. You can work with MQ team for that.
2. You can install Hermes or MQ visual edit and configure your sap side MQ, so that you can goes to queue and check whether messages stuck there or not.
During such instances, i would also suggest to enable xpi_inspector to trace the JMS channel.Very usefull tool.

These healthy Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies make a nutritious and grab-and-go breakfast that tastes like fall! This gluten-free and clean eating breakfast treat is made with wholegrain oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds and honey.
In the 2 years since posting this wonderful recipe for the first time, it has quickly become the most popular recipe on this site! Mainly thanks to Pinterest! There is not much to be improved or updated on this post. The recipe in ON SPOT! I’ve remade them many times since without changing anything.
Even 2 years later, I still love the images – the lighting was awesome that day. These were some of my first food photos that I truly loved. Maybe I could take slightly better ones now, but the difference would be minimal. And I want to hold on to these almost for nostalgic reasons.
The only one thing this post was missing was a video! Which is hereby remedied. I am leaving the rest of the post and the recipe unadulterated for you below. I have never been a fan of cooking first thing in the morning or making any breakfast that involves a lot of prep.
And some days I am especially happy to have my breakfast already waiting in the fridge. I am not a morning person, still some mornings are harder than others. Like the morning after a night of my baby Olivia randomly deciding to wake up no less than 6(!) times for no obvious reasons.
Or when I went to bed waayy later than I should have either because I was working, binge-watching Netflix, or finishing just one more chapter of a book. It’s on those super-rough mornings that I could hug myself for having prepared some make-ahead breakfast like these breakfast cookies (or awesome overnight oats).
They are like having a bowl of yummy oatmeal with lots of mix-ins only without the bowl. The convenient cookie shape offers itself for breakfast on-the-go.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet.
In a small bowl warm Spectrum® coconut oil and honey (either microwave, inside preheating oven or on the stove top).
In a large bowl combine both kinds of oats, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ground flax, pumpkin pie spice and salt.
Add pumpkin puree, eggs and warmed coconut oil and honey.
Drop about ¼ cup sized scoops of the mixture onto a cookie sheet and flatten (cookies won’t spread while baking).
Bake for about 15-20 minutes until edges are lightly browned.
Let cookies cool on baking sheet before moving to an airtight storage container.
Ahh you guys, there is seriously nothing I love more than delicious sizzling chicken fajitas! I could eat them pretty much on any given weeknight, I mean not only are they packed with tons of flavor, but with just a few simple ingredients you can easily make a healthy filling dinner! Being that fajitas are literally one of our favorite go-to meals, I thought it’d be fun to do a little spin on the traditional fajita dish and simply roll the chicken up around the veggies to make one perfect little serving.
My hubby absolutely RAVED about these and has already requested that we add them into our weekly meal rotation. As you know we love to meal prep and these chicken roll-ups make perfect leftovers for lunches or dinner. The chicken is super moist, the peppers are cooked just perfectly inside the roll-ups and the whole dish literally only takes about 30 minutes to throw together (after the chicken has marinated).
I went ahead and purchased thin sliced chicken cutlets just to make life a little easier, but you could of course use regular chicken breasts, slice them in half or into thirds (depending on the size) and pound them out until they are about a 1/4-inch thick. Either way will work just fine!
Then comes the fun part – marinating!! Please do not skip this part to save time, the longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor they will have so this is really important. The marinade is super easy to make and is a basic recipe that I use for all my fajita recipes which includes a little olive oil, lime juice and garlic along with a combination of chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and fresh chopped cilantro.
I also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce because I like a little heat with my fajitas, but you can leave this out if you don’t like things too spicy. I promise the flavor will still be there!
Oh and don’t let the fact that this recipe requires chicken being rolled up around veggies be a deterrent to you – this couldn’t be easier. Seriously. Any novice home cook (or even your kiddos) could do this! All you need are toothpicks or some kitchen twine, but I personally find that toothpicks are much easier to use annnd I’m sure you already have those lying around your kitchen somewhere. Just roll the chicken up around the slices of bell pepper and secure both sides with a toothpick.
Easy and done! Once the chicken bakes and you’re ready to eat you can remove the toothpicks and the chicken will still remain wrapped around the veggies.
Such an easy dish that takes so little time!
For the chicken breasts, if you purchased pre-sliced chicken cutlets then skip to the next step.
If using chicken breasts, slice them longways into 2 even slices and firmly pound the chicken using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about ¼ inch.
making sure they are completely coated.
Allow chicken to marinate for a minimum of one hour to overnight.
Repeat this step until all the cutlets have been rolled up and place seam side down in a prepared baking dish.
uncovered, at 375 for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the juices run clear.
Is anyone else completely freaked out by the monster-sized chicken breasts you seen in the stores these days? Pick up a pack of those guys from the store, and three ( because there’s always three in a pack for some reason ) manage to weigh a pound and a half to two pounds. It’s nuts!
Even when I get the fancy $9-per-pound hormone-free cage-free massaged-since-birth ocean-front free-roaming Prius-driving chicken breasts, they are STILL pretty huge. Oh, and still three to a pack.
Which is funny, because every recipe ever written for boneless skinless chicken breasts seems to call for four. I’m fighting back! My Easy, Basic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts recipe calls for three, because I’m not in cahoots with the chicken people, and I know how chicken comes packed.
I’m going to do my best to make sure that all of my future chicken recipes ( including this one ) is in a multiple of 3 as well — it just makes things easier for everyone, and is how I tend to really cook. So here, we have another chicken recipe using the ubiquitous boneless, skinless chicken breast, and it calls for only three pieces of chicken! Usually, half of one of these guys is more than enough to fill me up, particularly when crammed full of delicious, tangy feta and cooked spinach.
8 oz chopped frozen spinach, cooked according to package directions and squeezed dry.
Mix the chopped frozen spinach, feta, cream cheese, garlic and half of the salt in a medium sized bowl.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast.
flat on top of the breast.
Make sure that you are pressing the spatula down hard enough to hold the chicken in place.
You may need to actually dig the edge of the spatula into the meat just a little bit to accomplish this.
Insert the knife ⅔ of the way into the side of the thickest part of the chicken, and slice down to the thinnest part, stopping before you cut through; you want a pocket not a flap.
Separate the spinach and cheese mixture into three parts, and roll into thick logs.
Stuff each log into the pocket you made in the chicken breasts.

These healthy Pumpkin Breakfast Cookies make a nutritious and grab - and - go breakfast that tastes like fall ! This gluten - free and clean eating breakfast treat is made with wholegrain oats , cranberries , pumpkin seeds and honey .
 In the 2 years since posting this wonderful recipe for the first time , it has quickly become the most popular recipe on this site ! Mainly thanks to Pinterest ! There is not much to be improved or updated on this post . The recipe in ON SPOT ! I ’ve remade them many times since without changing anything .
 Even 2 years later , I still love the images – the lighting was awesome that day . These were some of my first food photos that I truly loved . Maybe I could take slightly better ones now , but the difference would be minimal . And I want to hold on to these almost for nostalgic reasons .
 The only one thing this post was missing was a video ! Which is hereby remedied . I am leaving the rest of the post and the recipe unadulterated for you below . I have never been a fan of cooking first thing in the morning or making any breakfast that involves a lot of prep .
 And some days I am especially happy to have my breakfast already waiting in the fridge . I am not a morning person , still some mornings are harder than others . Like the morning after a night of my baby Olivia randomly deciding to wake up no less than 6 ( ! ) times for no obvious reasons .
 Or when I went to bed waayy later than I should have either because I was working , binge - watching Netflix , or finishing just one more chapter of a book . It ’s on those super - rough mornings that I could hug myself for having prepared some make - ahead breakfast like these breakfast cookies ( or awesome overnight oats ) .
 They are like having a bowl of yummy oatmeal with lots of mix - ins only without the bowl . The convenient cookie shape offers itself for breakfast on - the - go .
 Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet .
 In a small bowl warm Spectrum ® coconut oil and honey ( either microwave , inside preheating oven or on the stove top ) .
 In a large bowl combine both kinds of oats , cranberries , pumpkin seeds , ground flax , pumpkin pie spice and salt .
 Add pumpkin puree , eggs and warmed coconut oil and honey .
 Drop about ¼ cup sized scoops of the mixture onto a cookie sheet and flatten ( cookies wo n’t spread while baking ) .
 Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes until edges are lightly browned .
 Let cookies cool on baking sheet before moving to an airtight storage container .
 Ahh you guys , there is seriously nothing I love more than delicious sizzling chicken fajitas ! I could eat them pretty much on any given weeknight , I mean not only are they packed with tons of flavor , but with just a few simple ingredients you can easily make a healthy filling dinner ! Being that fajitas are literally one of our favorite go - to meals , I thought it ’d be fun to do a little spin on the traditional fajita dish and simply roll the chicken up around the veggies to make one perfect little serving .
 My hubby absolutely RAVED about these and has already requested that we add them into our weekly meal rotation . As you know we love to meal prep and these chicken roll - ups make perfect leftovers for lunches or dinner . The chicken is super moist , the peppers are cooked just perfectly inside the roll - ups and the whole dish literally only takes about 30 minutes to throw together ( after the chicken has marinated ) .
 I went ahead and purchased thin sliced chicken cutlets just to make life a little easier , but you could of course use regular chicken breasts , slice them in half or into thirds ( depending on the size ) and pound them out until they are about a 1/4 - inch thick . Either way will work just fine !
 Then comes the fun part – marinating ! ! Please do not skip this part to save time , the longer the chicken marinates , the more flavor they will have so this is really important . The marinade is super easy to make and is a basic recipe that I use for all my fajita recipes which includes a little olive oil , lime juice and garlic along with a combination of chili powder , cumin , oregano , salt and fresh chopped cilantro .
 I also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce because I like a little heat with my fajitas , but you can leave this out if you do n’t like things too spicy . I promise the flavor will still be there !
 Oh and do n’t let the fact that this recipe requires chicken being rolled up around veggies be a deterrent to you – this could n’t be easier . Seriously . Any novice home cook ( or even your kiddos ) could do this ! All you need are toothpicks or some kitchen twine , but I personally find that toothpicks are much easier to use annnd I ’m sure you already have those lying around your kitchen somewhere . Just roll the chicken up around the slices of bell pepper and secure both sides with a toothpick .
 Easy and done ! Once the chicken bakes and you ’re ready to eat you can remove the toothpicks and the chicken will still remain wrapped around the veggies .
 Such an easy dish that takes so little time !
 For the chicken breasts , if you purchased pre - sliced chicken cutlets then skip to the next step .
 If using chicken breasts , slice them longways into 2 even slices and firmly pound the chicken using the smooth side of a meat tenderizer to an even thickness of about ¼ inch .
 making sure they are completely coated .
 Allow chicken to marinate for a minimum of one hour to overnight .
 Repeat this step until all the cutlets have been rolled up and place seam side down in a prepared baking dish .
 uncovered , at 375 for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the juices run clear .
 Is anyone else completely freaked out by the monster - sized chicken breasts you seen in the stores these days ? Pick up a pack of those guys from the store , and three ( because there ’s always three in a pack for some reason ) manage to weigh a pound and a half to two pounds . It ’s nuts !
 Even when I get the fancy $ 9 - per - pound hormone - free cage - free massaged - since - birth ocean - front free - roaming Prius - driving chicken breasts , they are STILL pretty huge . Oh , and still three to a pack .
 Which is funny , because every recipe ever written for boneless skinless chicken breasts seems to call for four . I ’m fighting back ! My Easy , Basic Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts recipe calls for three , because I ’m not in cahoots with the chicken people , and I know how chicken comes packed .
 I ’m going to do my best to make sure that all of my future chicken recipes ( including this one ) is in a multiple of 3 as well — it just makes things easier for everyone , and is how I tend to really cook . So here , we have another chicken recipe using the ubiquitous boneless , skinless chicken breast , and it calls for only three pieces of chicken ! Usually , half of one of these guys is more than enough to fill me up , particularly when crammed full of delicious , tangy feta and cooked spinach .
 8 oz chopped frozen spinach , cooked according to package directions and squeezed dry .
 Mix the chopped frozen spinach , feta , cream cheese , garlic and half of the salt in a medium sized bowl .
 Cut a pocket into each chicken breast .
 flat on top of the breast .
 Make sure that you are pressing the spatula down hard enough to hold the chicken in place .
 You may need to actually dig the edge of the spatula into the meat just a little bit to accomplish this .
 Insert the knife ⅔ of the way into the side of the thickest part of the chicken , and slice down to the thinnest part , stopping before you cut through ; you want a pocket not a flap .
 Separate the spinach and cheese mixture into three parts , and roll into thick logs .
 Stuff each log into the pocket you made in the chicken breasts .

Globalization is our current reality.
Globalization is our current reality. Most successful companies have established themselves internationally. Foreign policy is becoming as much of a concern as domestic policy. The environment, global warming, and lack of resources are international problems requiring international brainstorming and problem-solving. As English language teachers we have an incredible position to prepare our young learners to be global citizens! We are preparing the next generation of bilingual, trilingual, and multilingual speakers who know about various cultures and are able to collaborate with peers worldwide. It is an exciting time to be an English language teacher, isn't it?!
Primarily, I teach 2 to 10 year-olds in Germany and when I see their faces I get so excited because I know one of them will be a diplomat, international leader, company leader, and so forth. They will be the ones out there problem-solving on world decisions. How do I, as their guide, ensure I prepare them for this hefty task?
To begin with I think we have to find ways to extend learning outside our classroom walls. We need our children to realize learning takes place around them and that they only have to chase their curiosities! We are surrounded by various technologies that allow us to extend learning beyond the classroom walls. When we begin to integrate these technologies effectively we motivate our students to continue their learning journey well after they leave our classrooms.
I will briefly cover Skype, Wikis, and some free mobile apps in this post, but for further exploration please visit my wiki, Technology4Kids, with student examples and several more resources added weekly.

Ultimately, you want to limit the time you have to keep maintaining the wiki. After creating an initial template and look for the students, then have them each create a page and teach them how to update it! By having parents join your wiki they automatically get updates in their emails when changes have been made to the wiki so everytime a student updates the parents will visit the wiki page. You can also give different permissions to kids. Choose 2 or 3 students a week to be the editors and be in charge of the wiki page. Keep the rest as just writers. Have a list of duties prepared for the students who will be the editors for the week.
