Calling all PDX writers – fabulous opportunity to hear the incomparable Susan Fletcher (whom I've interviewed here before) talk about her research and writing process tonight. She'll be speaking at the Hillsboro Main Library … I'm looking forward to it!
Susan Fletcher
In the Spotlight: Susan Fletcher
As many of you know, I've started a new occasional feature on my blog — a series of author interviews called In the Spotlight. I have so many friends who are writing so many amazing, wonderful, stellar books, books that you simply MUST know about and read, that I decided it's time I got busy and shared them with all of you!
Stepping into the spotlight today is my friend Susan Fletcher. Talented, warm, generous with her time and her wisdom, Susan is one of the loveliest people I know. She teaches in the MFA in Writing for Children & Young Adults program at Vermont College, and all I can say is, her students are incredibly lucky to have her. She's a gem.
I have to tell you a funny story about Susan. Years ago, when I published my first book, the writing community in Portland, Oregon, where I live–and in particular those who write for young readers–welcomed me so kindly. Susan was one of those who did, and I've always been grateful to her for it. I was a fan long before we were friends, so it's been doubly fun to get to know her over the years since. She's a member of my Soup & Solidarity group (which you can read about by clicking here), and I also get together regularly with her and with two other writer friends at a coffee shop, where we all work on our individual WIPs (that stands for "work in progress"). And OK, maybe we talk a little, too…
Writing is solitary work. It helps to have friends!
Back to the funny story. So all those years ago, when I first got to know Susan, I was bubbling over to my family at dinner one night about how nice she was, and how kind she'd been to newbie me. My son Ben, who was in about fifth grade at the time, looked at me in awe. "You know Susan Fletcher?" he said, his eyes widening. "I love her books!"
It's true, he had read and adored her DRAGON CHRONICLES series, and I was a rock star by association! So thank you, Susan, for helping me impress my son!
Pull up a chair as we settle in for a visit, and talk with Susan about writing, her book FALCON IN THE GLASS, which is now available in paperback, and what's next.
Renaissance Venice, the art of glassblowing, intrigue, and a hint of fantasy – FALCON IN THE GLASS is such a richly imagined world. Can you tell us a bit about the book's inception, and how the ideas developed as you shaped the book?
I guess you could say I owe FALCON IN THE GLASS to a nasty cold, but that would be flip, and I would never be flip—you know that, don't you, Heather? Well, in any case, about twenty years ago I had this cold, and it was bad, and I wrapped myself up in a blanket and turned on the TV, just to give my mind something do to, because it hurt too much to read or think. And there was Venice, Italy on the screen—a video documentary. Honestly, it was just pictures and music, but I forgot all about my cold and became obsessed. Venice!
Well, it wasn't a throw-it-all-away-and-join-the-circus kind of obsession, but ever since that documentary I wanted to find out whatever I could about Venice. I think it's partly that it's so stunningly beautiful, and when you wander through those old streets and canals you can almost imagine that the 21st century has dropped away and you're living in the Renaissance, except with tourists. It's partly that Venice is built on an archipelago of a hundred-some natural islands, connected by a network of canals and little bridges. And all of those ancient buildings are supported by wooden pilings driven deep in the mud hundreds of years ago. You don't find that in, like, Nebraska. And it's also partly that Venice is, you know, sinking, and you know it's not going to be around forever. And I think this sort of connects on a deep level to the sinkingness of everything beautiful in life.
Wait! I mean, I don't want to be maudlin but… Everything beautiful is temporary, yes? And that's part of what makes it precious. And Venice reminds me of this in a piercing way that has haunted me for years.
Here's something I found out in all the reading I was doing: During the Renaissance the authorities in Venice imposed fines, banishment or prison sentences on glass artisans who took the secrets of their craft outside of the Venetian lagoon. According to some historians it was even worse than that: If a glassmaker went to another country, professional assassins would seek him out, wherever he was, and kill him.
But wow. The makings of a story, I thought. And why couldn't I be the one to write it?
In your body of work, you've written from both female and male points of view. Can you talk about how you choose the protagonists that you do, and the challenges (if there are any) of writing from a male POV, such as Renzo in FALCON IN THE GLASS?
Each of my first eight novels was told from a girl's point of view. Well, in ANCIENT, STRANGE, AND LOVELY I sort of branched out and had chapters from the points of view of like a truckload of characters. But even in that book it's clear who the main character is, and she is a girl.
I mean, this is not difficult to explain, right? I am a woman; I was a girl. This is familiar territory. However, I love historical settings; I tend to have protagonists who travel, get into scrapes, and have adventures. There were times, in a number of my books, when I thought to myself: Realistically, in these historical times, it would be almost impossible for a girl to do this and get away with it. And so in some cases my girl protagonists disguise themselves as boys. At least for a while.
And, you know, readers have noticed that the girl-disguised-as-a-boy thing happens a lot in kid's books, and it does, but I'll bet that in some historical eras this was going on all the time. There are documented instances of girls passing themselves off as boys in the Civil War, for instance. I'll bet this happened throughout history way more than we'll ever know, either because the girls managed to keep their secrets, or because they were not considered historically important.
In any case, my first thought was that the glassblower would be a girl. But historically, though some girls painted glass vessels, it would have been almost unheard of to have a girl working side by side with men in a Murano glass factory during the Renaissance. So I took a deep breath and decided to inhabit a boy, for once.
I was kind of nervous about this, and it's probably good that Renzo isn't an older teenage boy, which might have been more challenging. But in my girl-protagonist novels, there were often absent mothers and substitute mother figures—a number of female characters who helped each protagonist define what kind of woman she wanted to become. And I found the same sort of thing happening with fathers and father figures when I was writing about Renzo. There are three father figures in this book—Renzo's absent father, the master glassblower who was Renzo's boss, and the woodworker who comes to court Renzo's mother. And so I was able to explore three different perspectives about what it is to be a man. I was imagining, yes? But that's what writers do!
Renzo's desire to create beauty, and his devotion to learning his craft – to "making" – with its pull toward perfection — I can't help but see parallels to the writer's own creative process here. Could you talk about that?
Well, there's the whole write-what-you-know advice, which I usually totally ignore (except when it comes to girl protagonists). Jane Resh Thomas once advised writers not to "write what you know," but to "write what haunts you." I like that much better. I write out of my own sense of what it is to be a human being, but I get these obsessions about different times and places, and I want to go exploring.
However, while noodling around in the early stages of writing FALCON IN THE GLASS it occurred to me that I spend the bulk of my days thinking about, teaching about, writing about, and in the act of attempting to create something original and harmonious—a novel. And I thought it might be interesting to write about creating things—something in my personal experience.
So, part of learning to create things well is just practice—putting in your time, keeping at it, refusing to give up when you make mistakes, which you are going to do a lot. Nowadays, people are calling the willingness to persist like this: grit. And yet there is another aspect to this business of creating things—call it joy, or inspiration, or magic, or whatever. And this part has very little to do with stiffening your spine and pushing past difficulties. So, in Falcon, I tried to evoke that delicate balancing act of grit and magic.
The bird kenners. You've returned to them repeatedly over the decades, most recently with Bryn in ANCIENT, STRANGE, AND LOVELY, and now Letta and her flock in FALCON IN THE GLASS. Where did they come from originally? And what draws you to revisit them in your stories?
The bird kenners came out of my Dragon Chronicles series; in those books, people who can speak telepathically with dragons can also "ken" with birds. In the last novel in the series, ANCIENT, STRANGE, AND LOVELY, I brought the bird kenners into an alternate 21st century. I began to wonder what they had been doing in all that time between the medieval world of the earlier books and the near-future of ANCIENT, STRANGE, AND LOVELY. It occurred to me that, because they are different, the bird kenners would likely have been persecuted at one time or another. That's just what happens historically to people who are perceived as different. Maybe they would have been forced to move from one place to another. Also, there's a kind of neither-here-nor-thereness to the magic of the bird kenners. I mean, there are horse whisperers in real life; why couldn't there be, like, bird whisperers, too? One of thing that makes me want to spend time in my imagination with the bird kenners is that I can almost believe they might exist for real.
Let's talk research! We're kindred spirits in this department – I know we both love this part of the process. Rumor has it that you have a couple of great stories to share, one involving a dungeon, and another the zoo?
Yeah, I tend to go crazy with research. I went to Iran to research ALPHABET OF DREAMS; I wanted to walk along the Silk Road, the path that my characters would have traveled 2000 years ago. Once there, I found all kinds of things I didn't even know I was looking for. With FALCON IN THE GLASS I spent days meandering through the streets and alleys of Venice and Murano. I soaked up so much from just being there…but when you're doing research, not everything works out as well as you might hope.
For instance, I toured the old dungeon in Venice, which is incredibly atmospheric—the ancient stone cells, the echoes, the chill… I loved having experienced the dungeon, and I thought this meant that my research on the dungeon was done. However, after I came home and got deeper into the story, I discovered that the dungeon I had visited wasn't yet built at the time of my story! Gah! So I was going to have to do book research, after all.
With the generous help of a historian (Patricia Fortini Brown of Princeton) and a librarian (Jim Nolte of Vermont College), I found pictures and descriptions of the earlier prisons, some of which were in "the leads," chambers just beneath the lead roof of the Doge's Palace. As it turns out, Casanova, the famous womanizer, escaped from "the leads" in one of his many misadventures. And, lucky for me, he described the entire complex of prisons in great detail when recounting the story in his memoir, The Story of My Life.
And I'm not ready to talk too much about my current project yet, but I will say that a couple of weeks ago, for research, I went "backstage" at the zoo and stood between two polar bears—about a foot from each of them—and watched a 1500-pound critter lip a grape from a keeper's open palm. Wow!
Anything else you'd like to share with us? How about tips and encouragement for young writers?
One of the questions I get most often from serious young writers has to do with finishing things. So often kids tell me that they begin a story, and it's just going along great, but partway through they lose steam, and then the story just seems to shrivel up and die on them.
I have two responses to this question. The first has to do with desire and with trouble. I think that a protagonist who really wants something will keep a story going strong—so long as she doesn't get what she wants—at least, not until the end of the book. So long as she keeps encountering obstacles and trouble. So sometimes I tell young readers to make sure their hero has some unfulfilled desire, and throw in some more trouble, and see if that doesn't get the story perking along.
But I also want to say that if you have tried this, and you're still just stuck… It's okay to let the story go. You don't have to feel that you have to finish everything you start, especially if you're writing just for fun—which you should be doing. It should be fun! But sometimes you outgrow a story, and that's fine. If you're still struggling with the same story you started two years ago, try something new. Maybe years later you will return to the story with a new perspective that shows you where to go. I would say that when you're young, follow your interest and your passion, and don't worry so much about finishing.
See? Didn't I tell you all she's amazing? Thanks so much, Susan, for visiting with us today. Now everybody go visit her website for more fun facts (click here), then buy her books and READ THEM!
Writing with friends
Greetings from deadline exile! I'm barely coming up for air at the moment, but I thought you might like to take a peek at one of the few fun things I'm allowing myself to do these days, other than write. Wait, what am I saying? This one actually involves writing!
But it's still fun.
Every week, I meet three of my author friends at a nearby coffee shop to write. From left to right, that's Susan Fletcher, Rosanne Parry, and Susan Blackaby.
And yes, we actually do write! Together. Well, separately, but together. You know what I mean. And yes, I'll admit it, we do chat a bit as well…
Writing can be very solitary work. It's good to have friends you can chat with.
This particular coffee shop happens to be in a lovely location, and on a glorious summer day, it's not exactly a hardship to sit and work on their lakeside patio!
Do I have a fun book and story to share with you today!
It all started about a year ago, when the four walls began closing in. People! I thought. I need people!
Cue Barbra Streisand.
Writing is a solitary occupation, and I spend my days largely by myself, four-legged friends notwithstanding. Much as I love my cozy office, increasingly I found myself missing the cameraderie of a "normal" work environment, and the company of other people.
Not one to mope, I decided to do something about it. And so I got in touch with a few writer friends, knowing they were in the same boat, and asked if they'd like to come over once a month and play. I'd provide the soup, they could all bring sides. We'd spend the morning writing, then relax and visit over lunch.
As quickly as that, Soup & Solidarity was born.
It was a huge hit, if I say so myself. My house is small, with a limited number of corners for everyone to curl up in and work, and a table that seats six. Half a dozen of us makes for an intimate, friendly group, prone to linger over lunch as we swap tips, talk shop, catch up on each other's books and families and yes, sometimes even kvetch about our jobs.
It also gives me a chance to let my inner Martha Stewart out. Once a month, my house is spotless. Once a month, I have an excuse to show off my mother's pink china and set a pretty table. And once a month, I get to whip up a pot of something warm and nourishing.
(OK, I want to make it clear that I really do clean my house and cook for my family more than once a month, but you get the idea.)
Here's where things get even more interesting. Coincidentally (was there something in the water last year?), I got an email from my friend Maggie Stuckey.
Here's Maggie. Isn't she adorable? She has the best smile!
Maggie sent an email letting me know that she was working on a cookbook about soup, and specifically soup groups. Did I know of any?
Did I ever!
I emailed her back right away to tell her about Soup & Solidarity. And that is how we ended up featured in Maggie's new hot-off-the-press cookbook, SOUP NIGHT!
I can't rave about this cookbook enough. Seriously, you need to go out and buy it right now. (In fact, you can click here to do just that.) It's that fabulous! The best thing about the book is that it's not just a collection of wonderful recipes, it's a collection of wonderful stories, including mine.
I'll get to that in a minute.
But first, let's talk about soup. I love soup. The simplicity of it, the earthiness of it, the purity of it. There's something almost magical about soup, isn't there? Soup brings people together. It speaks of hearth and home. Soup is humble; it doesn't put on airs. You don't need to dress up to eat soup.
What could be better than soup? Especially on a frosty night…
This is one of my family's favorite soups (and yes, the recipe is in SOUP NIGHT – and I'm sharing it with you below). The leaves on the trees can turn color and blow away, the nights can grow frosty and cold, but fall doesn't officially kick off at the Frederick house until I've made my first batch of Nana Mac's Canadian Beef Stew.
My grandmother, Eva MacDougall (aka "Nana Mac") was from Nova Scotia. I have no idea how long this recipe has been in the family, but she taught my mother how to make it, and my mother taught me.
My mother told me the story that goes with this stew, too. It's a wonderful story, about a young woman from Canada who boards a train in Halifax one day many years ago, bound for a job in the United States. The young woman doesn't know a soul where she's going. It's a big adventure, but a scary one, too. As she says a tearful goodbye to her parents, her mother presses something into her hands–a little piece of home to take with her.
The young woman was my mother, of course. What did my grandmother give her? A simple lunch: a thermos filled with homemade beef stew, some bread-and-butter sandwiches made with homemade Nova Scotia oatmeal bread, and a slice of homemade apple pie. A little piece of home indeed.
The story gets better. My mother was on her way to a job as a private duty nurse in Connecticut. My father, who was in the army, had worked as an orderly in a hospital where he cared for her patient. He came to Connecticut to visit him one day. When my mother opened the front door, my father took one look at her and fell head-over-heels in love. Within a month, they were engaged.
Who says soup isn't magical?
And once a month, it sprinkles some of its magic over my writer friends and me.
We were a smaller group than usual this week at Soup & Solidarity. That's Jane Kurtz on the left, author of many wonderful books for young readers, including her brand-new novel ANNA WAS HERE (click here to read a rave review in The New York Times). She'll be featured soon in one of my "In the Spotlight" blog posts. So will Trudy Ludwig, who's on the right. Trudy's a nationally-known expert on bullying and social justice (she's even been on the Today show alongside Big Bird, how cool is that?!), and her latest picture book THE INVISIBLE BOY was just named a School Library Journal Best Book of 2013. Huzzah!
Not able to join us this time around: Susan Hill Long, who was recently featured in one of my "In the Spotlight" blog posts (click here to read it), and whose new novel WHISTLE IN THE DARK was just named one of Publishers Weekly's Best Books of 2013; Susan Fletcher, whose fabulous FALCON IN THE GLASS will be featured soon in an upcoming "In the Spotlight"; and Chris Kurtz, who was also the subject of an "In the Spotlight" blog post (click here to read it), and whose hilariously wonderful THE ADVENTURES OF A SOUTH POLE PIG garnered raves and multiple starred reviews.
I have lot to be grateful for this Thanksgiving season, including these awesome friends!
Happy Thanksgiving to each one of you — now go eat some soup!
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into
2-inch cubes
2–3 cups water
1 teaspoon summer savory
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 pound fresh button mushrooms, stems removed, cleaned, and cut in half
4-5 medium onions, chopped into large dice
10–12 good-size carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
4–6 potatoes, peeled and chopped into large chunks
2-3 parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
1 medium turnip, peeled and chopped into large chunks
1. Heat the oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat; add the meat and sear on all sides. Depending on the size of your pot, you may have to work in batches. Don't crowd the meat; if you do, it will steam rather than sear. Each batch will take about 5 minutes to develop a good sear.
2. Add water to cover and the summer savory; season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
3. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the mushrooms until tender, about 8 minutes.
4. Add the mushrooms, onions, carrots, potatoes, parsnips, and turnip to the soup pot. Cover with water again and simmer for several hours (or all day in the slow cooker), until the meat is fork-tender.
Pie-of-the-month-club – Susan Fletcher
As part of an ongoing celebration for a pair of pie-related books that I have coming out this month and next ("Babyberry Pie" and "Pies & Prejudice" – learn more here), I started a pie-of-the-month club to showcase new books by friends and colleagues.
On the menu today — my good friend and fellow Oregonian Susan Fletcher, who stopped by to whet our appetites for her new book. Oh, and to dish about pie, too, of course!
What have you been cooking up for readers, Susan? Can you tell us a bit about your new book, and how it came about?
Um, it was actually lizard spit that got me going again with dragons. Perhaps this requires an explanation.
For years, I'd toyed with the idea of a near-future sequel for my Dragon Chronicles series. But nothing really popped until my daughter, Kelly, a microbiologist/environmental engineer, told me about a rare lizard whose saliva has microbes that might be able to degrade environmental toxins into compounds that are completely safe. Lizard spit! That was it, for me: a way to return to my Dragon Chronicles and re-explore, through dragons, what we may lose when a species disappears.
So Ancient, Strange, and Lovely (Atheneum) tales place in a near-future, slightly dystopian world. I have to say, I had so much fun writing this book! Partly because I got to hang out with those baby dragons again — draclings — inspired by our dear old cat Nimbus. (They thrum in their throats and knead you with their little talons.) And also partly because in Ancient, Strange, and Lovely the age-old folklore of dragons bumps right up against modern culture and technology: biopiracy, Elvis species, petrified dinosaur eggs, remote webcams, deformed crocodiles, solar-powered socks, invasive ladybugs, two CNN anchors, and a YouTube lawn dwarf vid gone viral
In anticipation of Ancient, Strange, and Lovely, Atheneum also rereleased the other Dragon Chronicles, giving them gorgeous new covers.
How about your favorite pie-in-the-sky moment as a writer? Have you had one of those "I never dreamed it would really happen to me" moments that was special to you?
My novel Shadow Spinner was translated into Farsi by a well-known Iranian translator. He invited me to a conference in Tehran. The visa arrived too late, so at the last minute I had to tell him I wouldn't be there. But I later found out that, after the translator spoke about my book, there was a run on copies of Shadow Spinner at the conference. They sold out all the copies at the event, and people went out to bookstores all over Tehran searching for the book. A group of children at the conference had already read Shadow Spinner and had been looking forward to meeting me and talking about the book.
I was astonished. Iranian kids reading my book! You just never know where your books are going to go and who they're going to touch.
Has there ever been a moment in your career when you had to eat humble pie? (I did, big-time, that time I showed up at a major chain bookstore for what I thought was just a signing and found to my chagrin was educator night – dozens of shining faces looking at me expectantly, and I hadn't prepared a talk…)
Maybe the silliest one was when a group of children's writers (including a three-time Newbery Honor winner) were invited to read from our work and answer questions at a large literary festival. Apparently there were more writers than space available; we children's writers were assigned to the ladies' lounge. It was a large and luxurious lounge to be sure, but every time someone emerged from the adjacent room, the sound of flushing toilets nearly drowned us out.
Now let's REALLY talk pie. What's your favorite kind? Do you have a favorite pie memory? How about the recipe you're sharing – can you give us a little background on it?
Unfortunately, my most vivid pie memories involve trauma and humiliation. I have spent many a day-before-Thanksgiving trying to wrestle a pie crust into submission. Just never got the hang of it. I know that some people can roll out a nice, flaky crust in the time it takes to say "Yum!"
I hate those people.
My crusts morph into weird, lopsided configurations; they crack in half; they spring leaks. Fortunately, I have discovered crisps, which are actually healthier and, in my opinion, just as tasty. I hope you will accept crisps as a subset of pies! This one is delicious. I found it in Cooking Light magazine, and it's never failed to please.
Blueberry Crisp a la Mode
6 cups blueberries
2 T. brown sugar
1 T. all-purpose flour
1 T. fresh lemon juice
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup regular oats
¾ tsp. ground cinnamon
4 ½ T. chilled butter, cut into small pieces
2 cups vanilla low-fat frozen yogurt
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl, spoon into an 11 x 7-inch baking dish. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife.
3. Combine 2/3 cup flour, ½ cup brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon, and cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle over the blueberry mixture. Bake at 375 for 30 minutes or until bubbly. Top each serving with ¼ cup frozen yogurt. Yield: 8 servings.
To read other selections on the "pie-of-the-month club" menu, check out my interviews with Jane Kurtz, Toni Buzzeo, Lisa Schroeder, Jennifer Ward, Susan Blackaby, Jennifer Jacobson, Frederic Hunter, Kimberley Griffiths Little, Stephanie Burgis, and Andrea Beaty. Be sure and drop by again soon, because throughout 2010 I'll be serving up more stellar books by some of my favorite authors and illustrators.
Oh, and pie is on the menu, too, of course. Pie is ALWAYS on the menu here on my blog. Enjoy!

text: Courtesy of Moon Golf Club Sunday's Best: Swirling Scherzer By Matt Sunday Posted on August 25, 2019 Share Tweet Email The hardest part about covering semi-late season Pirates has nothing to do with the team's record, slump or anything having to do with the owners. It does have everything to do with the fact that I've photographed most of the of the National League and nearly all of the Pirates who will touch the diamond this year. Covering double-digit loss after double-digit loss, sometimes you're left with exploring different types of photography as the most exciting offering each game can give. The problem with that is actually executing the exploratory ideas you have. We talk about this stuff in the photo well all of the time. Looking at photographers you admire around the league, seeing some of what people are able to create, wanting to recreate some of those images in your own way. I can't say how many times I, along with others, have tried to make the pretty "swirly" photos with Pirates pitchers. No matter how many guys are trotted to the mound, though, no Pirates pitcher I've tried it with has had the right delivery to make it work. For the type of image you want from that, it's ideal for a pitcher's face to move along a flat plane so you can pan with his motion and keep as much of a visible face as possible while letting the arms, hat and ball leave streaks of motion around his body. With the example up top, one I shot of Max Scherzer during his start here Thursday, I got lucky choosing a 1/5 second shutter speed and moved with his face well enough to freeze it enough to tell who he was while his jersey swirled behind it. (Shooting at that speed also gave me a realllly good look at how dusty my camera's sensor is. Those are the dots you see.) After sharing that image during the game, a couple readers asked for more like it, but of Pirates players. So, I spent some time, again, trying to do just that. I got a couple that are ok, but nothing like Scherzer. I included one of Richard Rodriguez in the selection up there to show the difference. He doesn't move in a motion where you can get a still head since he turns it in his delivery. Besides those, I've included several from the pair of Pirates games I was at this week, a sad Steven Brault / happy Steven Brault combo and a few from Steelers practice.

Effects of Thumbsucking to Your Child's Dental Health and How Can We Prevent Them
There are some habits children are usually born with, thumbsucking being one of them. It is a habit that leads them to suck their thumbs all the time. Stopping it may take while because it usually goes on for 3 to 4 years while for some it may persist. Thumbsucking in babies is usually as a result of natural reflexes which makes them put thumbs in their mouth. For some, they feel secure or normal when putting them in their mouth.
Most people usually mistake this trait for the lack of nutrients in a baby's body, which is not the case. It is not a bad habit but you must stop your child from it after a while as it may pose some effects to their dental health. The best way to restore the condition of their dental health is by using oral care products available at Wonderful Dental for your treatments. You may ask from your wonderful dental office to request prophy paste samples and fluoride varnish samples from Wonderful Dental Team.
The right time to stop them is when their permanent teeth start appearing. This is because it may affect their teeth alignment and mouth to a certain extent. Many parents have tried so many alternatives to stop their kids from sucking their thumbs. Some even opt for crude procedures like applying chili on their thumbs which is very dangerous. You should be aware of the different effects thumbsucking may pose on the dental health of your young one.
Effects of Thumbsucking to the Dental Health of Your Child
Here are ways sucking thumb can affect the general well-being of your toddler.
Poor Dental Alignment
This is about how well the teeth of your young one become aligned as they grow. Dental alignment plays a crucial role in determining your overall appearance as you grow. Persistent thumbsucking leads to poor alignment on your child's teeth. They will not all be arranged as required, and they may be forced to undergo several procedures like putting on braces or surgeries that help get their teeth back in shape.
Dental Illnesses
Your child is also at high risk of contracting several dental illnesses as a result of thumb sucking. This is because germs on their thumb may be deposited on their teeth. Gum disease is one condition they might experience at a tender age. Bacteria on their teeth exposes them to other illnesses that leave them weak. It may be sad exposing your young to treatments such as fluoride varnish that help strengthen and improve the condition of their teeth at an early age. Moving in fast to stop this trait keeps their teeth in good shape.
Weak Teeth Development
The chances of your young one developing more vulnerable teeth are usually high if their thumbsucking trait persists for a long time. This also depends on the level of aggressiveness they use in sucking their thumbs. Apart from their teeth not being aligned correctly, they will be a little bit shaky, making it difficult for them to consume certain types of food. You should move in fast to stop this habit in your kids.
Some of the parts that are usually affected a lot as a result of thumbsucking in kids include their gums and their palate, which is the roof of their mouth. They will become a little bit sensitive and bring about some pain when they take in cold or hot meals. Tooth sensitivity also leaves your kid in pain all the time. You need to take the right measures to stop your toddler from this trait.
How to Prevent Thumbsucking in Children
Here are some of the measures you should take to prevent thumbsucking in your young one.
Know Their Triggers
Several things may force your kids to start sucking their thumbs. You should identify them immediately and take the right measures to help them stop. One thing that brings about this condition in kids is the stress they are going through. You should create a perfect environment for them to ensure they are comfortable all the time and eliminate stress, which brings about thumbsucking.
It is another tactic you can use to stop your child from thumbsucking. There are different practices you should try to keep that finger out of child's mouth. One of them is storytelling. Narrate something that will keep them engaged and smiling all the time. It should also capture all their attention to make them forget about putting a finger in their mouth. The ideal time to try this out is before they get to sleep. You should also take them out so that they can get other things that will keep them distracted from this activity. They will stop getting used after some time and stop the habit at last.
Talk to Them
This method applies to parents who have children who have started talking or communicating. You should speak to them convincingly to help them stop the habit. Some parents usually scold their kids and this may create bad blood between them. It will be difficult for your young one to stop this trait if you use undiplomatic means. Talking to them gently will make them stop the habit. Keep reminding your child anytime they forget ad try to put their thumb in the mouth.
Use Presents
Kids love receiving presents a lot. You should find out what your child likes and promise to get them if they stop the habit. Such promises have made many kids loyal and also improve their performances in school. Do not forget to fulfill their promise if they stop the habit as agreed. Your young one will stop the trait completely after some time.
Praising Them
Heaping praises on your child when you find them not sucking their thumb helps them stop the habit completely. It is a strategy that works well in kids because they love being pampered and praised all the time. You can tell them how bright they have become since they stopped the habit and why they should maintain the same energy. This will keep thumbs out of their mouth for good.

How Do I Plan For 5G In My Building?
On June 12, 2019, I participated in a panel discussion at the DASpedia 5G Congress. The conversation included consideration of current and future CRE wireless network needs. At that panel some key points were discussed:
Key Issues for CRE owners and managers include:
- When it comes to 5G wireless connectivity, it's important to distinguish between what is possible today and what you'll need tomorrow. Ongoing improvements in LTE technology will maintain its relevance for years to come. Keep in mind that it's possible for LTE 4G and 5G to coexist during any transition.
- To prepare for the future, create a 5G roadmap with clearly defined goals. Understand the expectations of your current and future tenants. You'll want to be clear about your enterprise's 5G timing. I'd recommend that you create a strategic plan. This should include short-term (next 18 months), mid-term (18-36 months) and long-term (4-5 years) goals. Your goals should reflect the fact that widespread private 5G deployments lie years into the future. Still, if you want to offer prospective tenants a competitive mix of amenities, you need a progressive plan.
- For the short-term, consider that Private LTE already delivers data usage savings, enhanced security and better traffic flow. Long-term, the allure of 5G is undeniable. First, it is anywhere from 10 to 100 times faster than LTE 4G. Second, it dramatically increases connection density.
Increasing needs will drive the evolution of private LTE and 5G wireless networks. Consider the many demands on private wireless networks in the future:
- More mobile devices on-premises
- Increased HD video streaming
- IoT requirements
- Security needs, including wireless access cards
- Changing shopper behavior
For example, retail shoppers increasingly use their smartphones while in the store. Eventually, 5G will deliver the low-latency, speed and coverage consumers and workers will come to expect.
Private LTE & CBRS: New Opportunities
As we discuss private wireless networks deployed in commercial real estate buildings, it's important to define terms:
- Private LTE networks serve individual enterprises, educational institutions and government entities. Regular mobile carriers operate some, while third-party operators (3PO) run others. Some use licensed spectrum; others use unlicensed spectrum.
- Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) occupies a 150 MHz-wide band of the spectrum. For many years, it was mostly used by the U.S. Navy's radar systems. Although this will continue, unused portions are now available for commercial use.
CBRS offers CRE owners/managers a new path to effective wireless coverage. For many, CBRS is the next big thing that they haven't really heard about yet. It provides a way to deploy private 5G networks without costly spectrum licenses. Since a CBRS-based network is not aligned with any single carrier, third-party installation and operation is an option.
For more about CBRS and 5G, check out the video, "Commercial Real Estate is Changing, Are You Still A Rated." It includes a discussion I had with Rich Berliner, founder of Connected/RE magazine.
Berliner observes that "amenities are everything" in today's commercial real estate market. Building owners must deliver the kind of connectivity that tenants and their employees expect. When it comes to wireless network upgrades, he says, "Don't wait, that's the important message in commercial real estate." Still, Berliner believes that widespread private 5G is a few years out yet. Availability of 5G phones is one key factor.
Case Study: The Farley Building
How does a CRE owner/manager transition existing wireless services to Private LTE and 5G? Let's look at one case study. New York City's Farley Building is an iconic civic structure constructed in 1912 and expanded in 1934. The massive structure is across the street from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. The updated building will include 740,000 square feet of office space, 120,000 square feet of curated retail and a "majestic train hall."
Developers are transforming it into "New York City's best-in-class creative office hub." To this end, they are providing a distributed antenna system (DAS), along "with space allocation for multiple carriers."
About SOLiD
If your tenants aren't already asking about 5G, they will be soon. You'll want to respond with a well-conceived 5G roadmap. Using CBRS for upgraded private LTE may be part of that plan.
SOLiD connects people, places and things with innovative telecom tech. We've been at the forefront of multi-carrier DAS. Now, we're excited about the potential for CBRS-based systems.

Repair Sink Indianapolis IN
Plumber Leak
How Are Plumbing Contractors In Pennsylvania Licensed? Computer terminology can be utilised to describe the tools the plumbing fraternity utilises to promote conservation of water and to lessen pollution of our current water sources - Hardware and Computer software. A drop of water doesn't look like much, but here's how it can add up: At a single drip per second, which is the price the faucet in this report was dripping, we have been losing 86,400 drips a day, which adds up to just more than five.7 gallons. Cautious preparation and the proper tools, can make the distinction among a plumbing repair and a plumbing nightmare, but even the very best planned jobs can hit snags, so give oneself lots of time. Alternatively, if you require a way to restore corroded pipes and protect them against leaks and corrosion for years to come, our Redline technique can help.If you can not take away the old one before repairing, get a single of these packs and it will most probably include the right sized washer. If the faucet is leaking from the opening of the spout (exactly where your tap water typically flows from, into your sink) or from the bottom of the manage, (exactly where your deal with meets the counter leading or sink bowl) then you are going to want to work only with the handles. Position the open end of the spanner underneath the tap head and the block of wood under the shaft of the spanner (maintaining it as close to the tap as attainable). Oakland home owners need to have a specialist plumber assess the difficulty in order to get some sort of idea about what it will entail to fix it. In this example, the leaking bathroom sink dilemma will be a bad cartridge situated in the faucet manage. Members are appointed as experts in matters related to plumbing occupations and to represent customer interests. According to a study performed by the University of Cincinnati, absolutely everyone in the US has at least some level of contaminants in their tap water and would advantage from a property purifier. Failed washers or seals generally result in drips to replace them, you need to disassemble the faucet. Eliminate the old flapper valve by either functioning it off of the supporting overflow tube or just cutting it off (it will cut very easily with scissors) and replace it with a new a single. Soon after the burst pipe leak has been stopped and repaired, rely upon United Services to manage your water harm restoration wants. In an work to not make you valve vexed, I'm going to address the most common faucet valve we see these days - the cartridge. Our plumbers can replace interior lead pipes, as nicely as exterior and underground lead imply and lead pipes. There are 3 general styles of an additional variety — washerless faucets: ball , ceramic disc and cartridge These all function on the very same principle: aligning two holes inside the faucet to allow water by way of and moving the holes out of alignment to quit the flow of water. If it is a plumbing emergency, most plumbers listed in our directory will dispatch a plumbing technician to your property or business instantly! Not all plumbing organizations have 24-hour service, so it really is a excellent idea to study and decide on one in advance so you're not scrambling right after water floods your residence. If needed, unscrew the nut that holds the washer in spot with an adjustable spanner. What tends to make copper appealing is its durability and its corrosion and high temperature resistance nevertheless, copper is also much more expensive than most other sorts of plumbing materials and copper pipes can split in extreme low temperatures. That is the only connection between the toilet and the rest of the water I can consider of. If that is what's taking place a new city water connection, which consists of the check valve, is a entire lot cheaper than a new toilet. Shut off water supply - Prior to performing the process of toilet removal, make sure the water provide is shut off. It is optimal to have a check up program prepared so that you can see an problem whilst it is nonetheless tiny rather than waiting for the toilet to need to have a replacement or pay for overpriced repairs. Verify to see regardless of whether the water leaks out of it. If there is no leakage, it really is fine but you might want to seek advice from a plumber for prevention from future troubles. If the seal is chipped or cracked, you might need to replace it to solve the issue of constantly running water in your toilet.

I am a fruit lover, I mean I seriously love fruit. It makes me happy and it makes up about 2/3 of my diet. I have it in many different forms; fruit in juice, dried fruit, frozen fruit, and regular fruit. So it was only a matter of time before I tried the Marks & Spencer's dried Apple crisps. These are thinly sliced apples baked in an oven with just a little bit of lemon juice on them to stop them from browning (I think). They are totally healthy, full of goodness and most importantly, they taste great! The flavour is strongly of apple, just as it should be. There is nothing artificial about this and the crunch is fantastic, they are so crisp, far superior than when I attempted to make my own which some how managed to be simultaneously burnt and uncooked... As you can guess they were pretty awful and went straight in the bin.
Anyway, overall I really enjoyed these as an addition to my lunch, it was a nice variation on my normal popcorn, they are quite pricey but to be honest you are paying for quality so they are worth the price tag.

Tape Removed for 50/50 Shot
Passenger Side
Zoomed in showing the Metallic Flake popping out
The notorious windscreen frame/pillars which mar very easily as most Mini owners know!
It has been a while since we have posted any of our detailing work so we thought we would share this sporty little MCS Convertible.
The car was delivered not far from the state shown below to the customer from BMW - now given that it was an ex demo this is completely understandable due to the amount of times this car was likely washed in a rush, or wiped down in the showroom whilst dust or dirt particles were over the paint.
The car was booked for;
- Full Paint Correction Detail
- Protection of the Paintwork with Nanolex Nano One & Nanolex Premium Spray Sealant
- Convertible Roof Clean & Treatment/Protection
- Full Interior Clean (inclusive)
Some pictures of the car on arrival;

The notorious windscreen frame/pillars which mar very easily as most Mini owners know!
Vinyl Correction is possible to an extend and what is more important is to protect those surfaces afterwards to prevent further marring and oxidation to any vinyl areas (inclusive of vinyl wrapped vehicles*).
The Results
Reflection Shot with Nanolex Nano One & Nanolex Premium Spray Sealant.
The Paint Correction; After the Roof was protected and taped up we used Menzerna FG500 with the RUPES Rotary Buffer and Menzerna Yellow Pad was used, the DAS6 Pro and Surbuf Pads for those harder to reach & delicate areas - Finishing and refining with the new RUPES LHR15mm (15mm Orbit) and 1Z Einszett PF2500 and SF4000 to bring maximum gloss, depth and clarity to the Mini (BMW) Paintwork.
The Roof was cleaned thoroughly with 1Z Einszett Blitz All Purpose Cleaner, air dried and allowed to dry further to ensure all water and moisture was out of the fabric. Followed with protection from Nanolex Convertible Top Sealant for 12+ Months against UV rays, dirt, oil, and of course add water repellency – to avoid any chances of that soft top becoming a convertible sponge top.
Paintwork Protect with Nanolex Nano One & Nanolex Premium Spray Sealant leaving the paint with a nice deep wet finish. This was also applied to the vinyl striping.
Wheel Cleaning: Our favourite Wheel Woolies in combination with 1Z Einszett ColourTec Wheel Cleaner and also 1Z Einszett Felgen (Wheel) Cleaner for the more stubborn areas inside the wheels were used.
Any questions or comments are always welcome.
For any Paint Protection, Paint Correction Detailing we are more than happy to advise and quote you*. All our work is carried out in house with Car Care Products.

KANSAS CITY,Mo. — 24 hours after a fire that killed one-year-old twins, investigators still have not said what caused the fire.
"Its awful, the family had a good idea of what the situation was because we didn't pull the kids out, its heart wrenching and its something I wouldn't ask someone to see or do," said KCFD Deputy Chief, Jimmy Walker.
There was an update from investigators. The smoke detectors were working inside.
The investigation continues into how two 1yr old twins died in a KC house fire. Investigators say there were WORKING smoke detectors inside. The door to the room where the twins was closed. The 23 year old sister was watching the twins and four other children. @41actionnews pic.twitter.com/pySV3EFuuy— Steven Dial (@StevenDialTV) December 28, 2018
"We did find smoke detectors in the house, we think that due to where the fire started and the door being shut, we believe the smoke alarms didn't notify the rest of the family until later on. But our crews on the scene said they heard smoke alarms when they were going upstairs," said Walker. "We are ruling things out as we go. We are checking off boxes but not coming to any conclusion yet."
Investigators said the twins 23-year-old sister was watching them and other children when the fire started.
ATF and KCPD are assisting in the investigation. Police said that does not mean a crime happened.
Members of World Harvest Ministries said the family goes to their church. Investigators said the church was helping the family prior to the fire.
"Its terrible any time of the year, the family was being helped by the local church. Its an unfortunate situation, they are dealing with it," said Walker.
KCFD is providing counselors on hand for the crews that were at the scene.

The Air Jordan 14 Transforms Into the New Jumpman Jordan Z
For your time off the hardwood.
Jordan Brand has tweaked another one of its signature models. Today the Jumpman Jordan Z surfaced looking rather similar to the Air Jordan 14. The new lifestyle model shares the same silhouette as the model many associate with MJ's "Last Shot." Its arched upper returns and swaps out the traditional lacing system for a shroud that's secured by an infrared zipper. The upper sees olive suede with an argyle pattern added to each heel to complement its signature 23 logo. Lastly, a small Jumpman insignia is placed on the tongue to match the bright zipper pull.
The Jumpman Jordan Z is currently available at select Jordan Brand stockists such as Shoe Palace for $160 USD. In related Jordan Brand news, you can take a closer look at the Air Jordan 1 "Pine Green."

Torquay Girls Grammar School
Torquay Girls' Grammar School in Devon required a cost-effective ventilation system that fully satisfied recent Government legislation on heating and ventilation within school buildings.
Linea Plus: A slimline design classic from 115mm deep
Jaga Linea Plus: A slimline design classic from 115mm deep
Oxygen - Ventilation intelligently controlled and perfectly measured
Oxygen. Jaga ventilation solutions are intelligently controlled and perfectly measured
In most cases, the capital and lifetime costs of air conditioning systems make them an unlikely specification for education establishments, so specifier Paul Walters, from Scott Wilson Consulting, chose Jaga Heating's oXygen system for the School.
"Firstly we needed a system that was fit for purpose and one that would comply with both Building Bulletins 101 and 93. The oXygen system met this challenge with ease, but there were also other far reaching benefits to be had for the school in the form of a healthier indoor climate for all and significant energy and cost savings."
25 Linea Plus low water content Jaga radiators incorporating the oXygen units were installed around the new sixth-form building. A sensor in each room continuously measures CO2 levels and reacts when they become too high by removing stale air through an exhaust built into the roof. This is then replaced by precisely the right quantity of clean, fresh air from outside. The system engages the fans only when there is a need for fresh air, so over-ventilating is avoided and money is not wasted.
During the hot summer period, the oXygen can efficiently pull through cool air from outside to lower the internal temperature. The effectiveness of this cooling is almost on par with costly air conditioning units, but using a fraction of the energy.

Home > Railroads > Subways > SEPTA Broad Street Line > Trip Report
We rode the Broad Street Line on two trips, the first on 5 November 2011 when we rode the main line and the second on 23 November 2012 when we rode the Broad-Ridge Spur. We began our first trip in Fern Rock and took the local train to the AT&T station. From there we decided to take a trolley ride so took the train back to City Hall where we switched to a trolley to the end of the line at 13th Street. After moving to the boarding area, we hopped on the first trolley to arrive at 13th Street, a Route 13 trolley, and rode it through the trolley tunnel. Unfortunately when we arrived at 40th Street we learned that our line had a bus substitution for the rest of the route. Since we had no desire to ride a bus, we waited at 40th Street for a return trolley and took that back to 15th Street. Not paying attention to the stops, we missed 15th Street and ended up back at 13th Street. We decided to take the Market-Frankford Line from there back to 15th Street where we could catch the Broad Street Line. We rode back up to Olney where they announced that the train was being held indefinitely and we should go outside to catch a bus back to Fern Rock. We went outside and waited for about 15 minutes for a bus, but none arrived. Returning to the station, we learned the trains were running again and caught the next train to Fern Rock, ending our trip.
For our ride on the Broad-Ridge Spur we decided to drive to New Jersey rather than make our way through northern Philadelphia. We parked in Camden and took PATCO to 8th & Market where we transferred to the Broad-Ridge Spur. We took the train up to Girard, where we caught a Broad Street train to Walnut-Locust, and from there boarded another PATCO train back to Camden.

When we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn't find it.' Then last night as we slept in the farmers bed,the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren't always what they seem.
I think this is special...live and savor every moment.. This is not a dress rehearsal!

Google is also launching a new Hotel Center to simplify the management of the hotel price feeds, similar to Google Merchant Center.
The new Hotel Center will allow price feed management, simplifying feed troubleshooting, optimize the feed's health with actionable opportunities and one-click fixes, and to power other price feed-based hotel features in the future, like dynamic remarketing creatives.
Google Hotel Ads on Google Ads platform will allow hotel groups to organize hotels by important attributes like brand and class; bidding controls that allow optimization for bidding dimensions unique to hotels like a traveler's length of stay or check-in day and audience bidding; Smart bidding powered by machine learning to maximize bookings at your ROI goal; Rich reporting and familiar responsive interface available with the newly redesigned Google Ads.
In the first six months of 2018, the number of leads to partners grew 65 percent year over year, and "hotel ad partners are happy with the volume of leads and booking," said Michael Trauttmansdorff, Senior Product Manager, Hotels, at Google.

3:5 | stripes 1+1+12+1+1
by Stefan Schwoon
Flag and coat-of-arms adopted 10th July 1972
See also:
There is an official coat of arms for the Landeskreis of North Frisia, created in 1970. This is blue, three golden, three-masted ships in 16th-century style [arranged] 2:1 with golden sails and red pennants. The flag has a broad central stripe with the arms as described, and with narrower stripes at the top and bottom, the inner ones golden, the outer ones red. Source: Thomas Steensen, The Frisians in Schleswig-Holstein, Braeist/Bredstedt: Nordfriisk Instituut, 1994.
Jan Oskar Engene, 7 December 1995
The Hauptsatzung (statutes) of the district at the Nordfriesland official website:
Hauptsatzung des Kreises Nordfrieslandstates that the red and gold stripes should be thin, so the choice of 1:1:12:1:1 is mine. The ships should be shifted slightly to the hoist. The ships are taken from the arms; more on their meaning at Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website, where I copied them from (Reissmann 1997). Adopted 10.07.1972, according to Dirk Schönberger's Administrative Divisions of the World website.
§ 1
Wappen, Flagge, Siegel
(§ 12 KrO) [...]
(3) Die Kreisflagge zeigt in der Mitte eines blauen, oben und unten von je zwei schmalen Streifen, einem äußeren roten und einem inneren goldenen, eingefaßten Feldes die drei Schiffe des Wappens (2 : 1), etwas zur Stange hin verschoben.
(Erläuterung: Das Verhältnis des blauen Feldes zu den vier Streifen ist 3 : 1).
Note that this flag does not collide with the North Frisian flags below. The latter have no official status and are popularly used to show adherence to (the historical region of) North Frisia whereas this is the official flag of the district authorities.
Stefan Schwoon, 1 February 2001
From Ralf Hartemink's International Civic Arms website:
The arms were granted on July 10, 1972. The arms are based on the arms of the former county Eiderstedt. The symbols of the ships differ from the old arms, in that the plough is the symbol of the former county Husum, the fish is slightly changed and represents the typical herring of the island of Sylt in the former county Südtondern. The ox-head is still the symbol for Eiderstedt.
The arms [of Eiderstedt] were based on a seal dating from 1613, after the area was reclaimed from the sea. The ships represented the three areas (Harden) in the new territory: Eiderstedt, Everschop and Utholm. (...) On the original seal the ships were placed 1:2 instead of 2:1 and the symbols were placed on the hulk of the ship, not the sails.
Literature: Stadler 1964-1971 and Reissmann 1997.

The flag shown here with the coat of arms is sometimes shown with a smaller shield above a white scroll on which is written Lever düd as Slav. Source: Walther Stephan, Das Wappen der Landschaft Nordfriesland, in Zeitschrift der Gesellschaft für Schleswig-Holsteinische Geschichte, 16er Band, Neumünster in Holstein, 1931. According to this source, the North Frisian flag originated at the same time as the flag Schleswig-Holstein, also during feasts, and with the coat of arms and the motto in the middle.
Pascal Vagnat, 17 May 1999
Lever düd as Slav means 'Rather dead than slave'. It is another rendering of the motto Leaver dea as slaef, which can still be found on a monument on the Rode Klif (Gaasterland, Friesland, Netherlands), remembering the victory of the Frisians over the Hollanders in 1345.

Some time ago I got a different flag from the North Frisian Institute in Braeist (Bredstedt). It is a simple yellow-red-blue flag, the gölj-rüüdj-ween as it is called in the North Frisian language (also the title of the unofficial gold, red and blue) have been the North Frisian colours since the beginning of this century. The colours are taken from the fields of the coat of arms. Source: Thomas Steensen, The Frisians in Schleswig-Holstein, Braeist/Bredstedt: Nordfriisk Instituut, 1994.

Kannik 1958a shows a Frisian (Germany) flag which has a blue Scandinavian cross, fimbriated red, on a yellow field. Horizontal proportions 6+1+2+1+12.
Pascal Vagnat, 6 December 1995
I noticed the same in Kannik 1956a. In the notes it is explained that the Scandinavian cross pattern was chosen to symbolise the relationship of the Frisians to the Nordic countries (whatever that may have been except for the fact that the North Frisians once were ruled by Denmark).
Jan Oskar Engene, 6 December 1995
In the Flags of Aspirant Peoples chart appears "75. North Frisians (Helgoland & Schleswig-Holstein) - North Germany". Identical to the Scandinavian cross variant in FOTW.
Ivan Sache, 14 September 1999
by Jaume Ollé
Five diagonally striped flag yellow-red-white-red-yellow, with 3 heart-shaped leaves. This flag design is clearly inspired by the traditional flag of the Dutch province of Friesland. Note that Sagelterland is traditionally Frisian. In use since 1970.

If you've decided to set your organization on the path to Lean, that decision will likely be one of many that will bring measurable benefits in terms of profitability, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement. Leaders who have taken this journey before have told us that getting started with Lean can be somewhat overwhelming. We thought it might be helpful to share, step-by-step, how some of the most successful organizations have launched their Lean programs. Hopefully, you'll see that it isn't as daunting as you might think.
We should note that every organization and every Lean program is different. Organizations can go all in or take an incremental approach. There's no one "right" way to do Lean, so you'll have to find the path that works best for your team. But whatever route you take, these elements are vital to success and should be included in your Lean deployment plan.
Set Goals and Objectives
The first step is to define what success looks like. The more specific you can be about what you are trying to achieve with Lean, the more likely you are to do so. You might have goals related to:
- Employee engagement with Lean
- Cost reduction
- Number of improvements implemented
- Customer satisfaction
- Employee retention
- Revenue
- Safety
- Time to market
Your goals should be ambitious, but attainable. They should be relevant to the core business strategy, and they should have
Commit and Communicate
Lean management is not a project or a program. It is a different way of thinking and working. It is vital that everyone in the organization understand the philosophy behind it and its potential to transform the organization. Employees tend to be wary of new business paradigms, so it is necessary to offer frequent and clear communications about the reasons for the shift. Employees also need to see that leaders are genuinely committed and ready to make changes that will last over the long term.
Recruit Advocates
Lean will become part of everyone's job description. However, enlisting the early help of a few influential employees within the organization is a smart way to gain momentum. These team members can be the first to suggest opportunities for improvement and show by example that the rewards of engagement outweigh any perceived risk. They will become your Lean ambassadors and help spread the improvement mindset.
Assemble Your Lean Toolkit
There are numerous tools and techniques associated with Lean. Your organization might use a bunch of them or focus on a few. The essentials include:
Standard Work – Standard work is the documentation of the current best practice for every task or process. It sets the baseline for improvement.
PDSA or DMAIC – PDSA (Plan, Do, Study, Act) and DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) are data-driven improvement cycles that organize Lean improvement projects and help achieve consistency.
Value Stream Mapping – The ultimate goal of Lean is to eliminate any activity or resource that does not add value from the customer's point of view. A value stream map looks at the current state and helps identify opportunities for improvement.
Digital Huddle Boards – Visualization is an integral part of the Lean experience. Digital huddle boards show the current state of improvement projects and help manage the flow of work in progress.
Implement Technology
To make Lean as effective as possible,
Map Out First Projects
It's a good idea to plan for a few quick wins to get everyone excited about the possibilities that Lean unleashes. Focus on a few small improvements that can have a swift and noticeable impact, rather than tackling a huge challenge right off the bat. Early successes will give staff confidence in the Lean method.
Embracing Lean is a big deal, but with a good Lean deployment plan and the right tools, you'll be on your way to improvement and waste reduction in short order.

The kinematic models of the screw-based plastifying system — a comparison in the helical coordinate system
Polimery 2000, No 3, 141
DOI: dx.doi.org/10.14314/polimery.2000.141
SummaryFollowing the rectangular coordinate system (cf. Polimery, 1999, 44, 600), the helical coordinate system is now used to compare two kinematic models of the screw-based plastifying system (Fig. 1). In spite of the identical formal description of some equations, the two models were found to differ essentially (Figs. 4–8) for reasons principally the same as those occurring in the Cartesian system. The highest drag (and redrag) flow and pressure flow velocities are identical in either of the coordinate systems. Therefore, differences between the models compared under maximum velocity conditions are identical in either system of coordinates. In the helical system, which allows for the real geometrical elements of the helical channel, polymer flow velocity distributions are different. Rather than linear as is the case in the Cartesian system, the drag (redrag) flow velocity distribution is not linear and the pressure flow distribution is unsymmetric.

This Sunday (September 15th) marks our return to our three-Service Schedule. This year, we're experimenting with something new: three services, each with a distinct style, and yet all connecting us as one Foothills community.
For our 8:30, we imagine it'll feel a little more familiar, more traditional, an experience that engages us first through the world of our minds.
Our hope for the 10:00 is that it feels energetic, emotive, embodied. The experience of a big service moving together, that starts in the heart and moves through the body with a celebratory and hopeful spirit.
And for 11:30, we will build on what we explored last church year, with a service that we hope feels personal, authentic, unbuttoned, unplugged, no pretense, honest, real, less performative, conversational, participatory, dialogical, communal….engaging a common practice.
Our goal in these three styles is that you can find a service that speaks in a "vocabulary" that allows you to connect in community, and to the mystery and beauty of life in a bigger way.
After about a month, we'll begin inviting feedback. Until then, we invite you to try out different service times, and to notice how and if you experience these services differently.
Especially in these times, I feel like it's such a privilege to serve this congregation, and to be a part of a community that embraces human diversity rather than tries to squelch it.
I'm excited to be offering my first sermon since returning from sabbatical a few weeks ago – and about what it means to "go small." I hope to see you at one, two, or all three services!
In partnership,
Rev. Gretchen
P.S. If you'll be traveling this Sunday, don't worry, you can still catch all three of our services on our livestream.
