INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Coconut flour works well as a binder in recipes where you'd normally use ingredients like cracker or bread crumbs, such as meatloaf. However, you will need to double the liquid in the recipe because the coconut flour will absorb so much of it. Some people have good luck using it to thicken sauces, while others do not. In fact, some cooks recommend not trying it at all. However, you should experiment and see what works for you. You may find it works well as a thickener for your purposes. Don't forget that coconut flour will absorb more liquid than wheat flour, though, so only try a little bit at a time. If you want to make coconut chicken or shrimp, coconut flour makes a good base. Simply dip the meat into an egg wash first (whisked egg), then dip it into the coconut flour. You can also season it with salt and pepper. Next, dip it back into the egg, then roll it in coconut flakes. Finally, fry the meat as normal in oil.

SUMMARY: Add it as a binder for meatloaf and meatballs. Experiment with using it in sauces. Use it as a base for coconut shrimp or chicken.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You'll be able to tell early in your packing if you need a different sized bag, or if you need to remove some clothes from what you planned on bringing. Rolled clothes and shoes should go on the bottom. Place the folded items on top of the rolled items. Alternate hem-lines to avoid uneven packing. Socks, jewelry, and accessories are perfect items to fill spots between clothes. Stuff the cups of your bra with rolled up socks to help them keep shape. Belts can easily line the perimeter of your bag. Stuff your shoes with small items to save space. Stick your underwear and socks in the sneakers, then put the shoes in a plastic bag, so that the rest of the luggage doesn't get dirty. Stick your pillow in a compression bag. Squeeze the air out of the compression bag, then pack that between the two ridges in the middle. Pack your solid toiletries in the front pouch, then stuff your quart-size bag of liquids into the little remaining space in your bag. It is good if you have a little extra space, it is good for souvenirs, and if you are bringing a pet, you can put their food in. Just in case anything happens to your suitcase, keep all your expensive and important things in your purse.

SUMMARY: Pack the large items first. Fill the nooks and crannies with smaller items. Have the important things on you.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Recording behaviors as they occur can help you see a pattern. You can see when a student is most likely to misbehave. You can identify any triggers that may be causing the difficult behavior. Keep a notebook to record difficult behaviors. Note all the details of the behavior, when it occurred, and any circumstances surrounding the incident. Look for patterns. Does the student seem to act out at a particular time during the day? Maybe a student acts out just before recess. This could be because the student is anxious to get out of the classroom. This student may need help regulating his or her energy. Once you know when problem behaviors occur, increase supervision during this time. This can help you eliminate behavior issues. You can monitor your class more closely during certain times of the day. Group work just before recess, for example, may require additional supervision. If you have any classroom assistants, ask for their help here. Have them monitor students closely when they're likely to act out. Students often respond better to positive reinforcement than negative reinforcement. Instead of always scolding students for poor behavior, work on praising students for positive behavior. Always praise students for following rules. Do so immediately after the good behaviors occur. A lot of students crave praise and approval from their teacher. Students with behavior issues may be more likely to change if they see they gain favor by following rules. For example, you can say something like, "Harper, I really like how you waited for me to finish explaining before asking a question. It makes the classroom run smoother when everyone takes turns talking." More often than not, students are acting out for a reason. You want to make sure you identify underlying problems so they can be dealt with appropriately. A student who is behaving poorly may have a health problem, an issue at home, a mental health issue, or may be acting out due to academic difficulties. If a student's behavior does not improve with regular intervention, there may be something else going on. You may have to have a sit down talk with a student whose behavior is not improving. Ask him or her open-ended questions, like, "Is there a reason you're having trouble concentrating." This gives the student the opportunity to open up on what is preventing him or her from achieving academic success.

SUMMARY: Record problem behaviors. Supervise students more closely when they're likely to lash out. Reinforce positive behaviors. Identify any underlying problems.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Using a sifter, sift 300 grams (10 ounces) of icing sugar into a large bowl. This is to break apart any chunks that might have formed in the container, and prevent the icing from getting clumpy when you add water to it. You will need to dissolve your icing sugar with some water so that you can spread it over the fairy cakes. Start by adding two tablespoons of water and mixing it quickly with a fork. You want to end up with a somewhat runny consistency so that you can drizzle it over the fairy cakes. Add more water to make the icing thinner, and more icing sugar to make it thicker. You can make the icing flavoured by adding some lemon juice. Use one part lemon juice and one part water. If the icing becomes too thin, then add more of the sugar. You can leave the white icing as it is, or you can add colour to it to match the theme of your party. Add a few drops of food colouring to the icing and stir. For darker icing, use more food colouring. If the icing becomes too thin, then add a little bit more of the sugar.

SUMMARY:
Sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Add two to three tablespoons of warm water. Consider adding some flavouring. Consider adding some colouring.
