Seriously- can your Honor Student scan lug characteristics, automatically configure themselves for the perfect crimp, then SAVE that data and send it to the cloud??
The ABB Smart Tool can- and it’s here. Now.
ABB has created a very clever tool that can be used with standard Color Keyed lugs; for best results you should pair it with the ABB RFID enabled Color Keyed lugs, allowing critical data to be saved and uploaded from the job and time saving for you.
“Data collection and analysis. When used with RFID lugs, the Smart® Tool+ registers a wealth of information on each crimp, including the lug size, its serial number[PJB1] , the crimp pressure and indentation level, and success or failure. Additional information, such as final connection torque and a photo of the connection, can be entered manually. Setup strategies can be used to register the location of groups of crimps so that each crimp in each enclosure on a floor, for example, can be accurately and automatically reported along with its location — a system that is faster, more complete and more efficient than hand-recording data.
Bluetooth connectivity. Smart® Tool+ data can be downloaded to any computing device by Bluetooth, then uploaded to a secure cloud for permanent storage and retrieval.
Analysis and reporting. Using software available in the Smart® Tool+ package, data can be analyzed and seamlessly reported to job supervisors, quality control engineers or any other entity that requires full reporting on crucial electrical connections.”
We think our IECC Associate Partners at Thomas & Betts/ABB are pretty smart too.

ABOUT THE TEA
This Yunnan black tea was harvested in early spring (2014) and carries a robust and delicious flavor profile! The first thing you taste is a the thick honey flavor giving way to creamy cocoa with a touch of malt. A heavy molasses-like sweetness lingers on your tongue while juicy morel plays with a hint of gardenia in the aftertaste. This tea is delicious hot as well as iced and holds up very well to three or more infusions!
Milk Chocolate, Molasses, Malt, Morel, Cream, Gardenias

backlog from yesterday – thanks again to dexter for letting me try this one. On the whole, this wasn’t a bad cup of tea, but i’m glad that this is one that i don’t feel the need to order from WP. There was a bitterness there that i didn’t love. still not a bad cup..just not one i need to keep around.
Final Count yesterday: 114
Thank you TeaTiff for the swap! It’s terrible it’s taking a while for me to try these teas. I’m trying! These leaves are little coils of gold with hints of black. There is a fragrance of tomato soup before I even take a sip. The flavor is lovely – very smooth, tomato soup, honey, hints of chocolate, sweet potato, bit of spice. A ridiculous combination if you think about it, but the flavors work perfectly together… only in tea! The second steep really melded together and deepened… more difficult to pick out the flavors like I did in the first cup but very delicious!
Steep #1 // 1 tsp // few min after boiling // 3 min
Steep #2 // just boiled // 5 min
I’ve been trying to post reviews for days now so I have a backlog of teas. Long story short, this one is malty with some bakery (think based bread, not pastries) notes. I am sure there is more complexity, but I have will do a more thorough review when I can actually post the day I am enjoying it. Happy Sunday!
Another WP sample from Cameron B.! Get used to seeing that line, because I have a bunch to go through. :)
This is quite delicious. A very nice golden yunnan tea. Nice and sweet potato-y, and with a hint of molasses as well, like a sweet potato with brown sugar. Mmmmm. A little bit of cocoa flirting around the edges, and overall the texture is thick and creamy. Thanks for the sample of this one Cameron, it was very enjoyable!
Flavors: Brown Sugar, Cocoa, Molasses, Sweet Potatoes
Cold brewing this one for the last days of summer. Clear honey sweetness, a touch of malt and baked-goods flavor, and a rich buttery finish that lingers on, clearing up to just a hint of something floral. The previous time I cold brewed this tea for a long time (8+ hours instead of 6 like this time), I also got a distinct note of fresh, fibrous stone fruit. As expected, this is a very wonderful iced tea, rich but crisp.
Thanks so much Cameron B for the sample!
This is a very cute tea and tasty too! I like it very much but it isn’t blowing me away like it has some of the other reviewers, perhaps because I’ve had quite a few other equally tasty Yunnan blacks :)
Good stuff though! Definitely my kind of thing. Glad I got to try it.
Thank you Cameron B for the Wee Snaily Yums! The dry leaf smells malty, but also a bit like bread. And they really do remind me of wee little golden snailys.
Mmm this tastes like warm malty bread drizzled with honey and molasses and a sprinkle of raisins. The next 2 steeps were pretty similar, although they became a bit more bread and malty, and less honeyed molasses. Delicious, definitely on my list for my next order.
Oh this was yummy!
I got this sample a few days ago from Cameron B. and it is even labeled Wee Snaily Yums!
Creamy, chocolaty, but not overly so. Just the right amount of malty. And I might even call that bit kind of sweet potato. Maybe. I’m not sure. It definitely has a hint of sweetness to it.
What has happened to me? When did I start liking black teas?
My first tea from the Pass the Stash 2.0 Box. This is one of the two teas Cameron B. sent just for me. Yay!
I’ve read several tasting notes on this tea, so when I took my first sip I was expecting malt, bread, and honey. What I got was honeysuckle and sweet potato. No complaints here – the flavor is amazing. I am surprised at how strong the floral note is, but the earthiness of the sweet potato note helps keep the tea from being too floral in character. As the tea cools the malty flavor appears. Oh, I’m really liking this. Such a beautiful tea!

Thermoelectric generation is a promising technology which converts waste heat into electricity in an efficient and clean way. Thermoelectric application could utilize the heat from a device to power a thermoelectric generator (TEG) which in turn produces power that could run a cooling system. Such systems would be critical in transportation, remote area or other applications where system reliability is of a paramount importance. Thus, in this paper a detailed parametrical analysis and optimization of the geometrical and system parameters are made so as to provide guidelines for the design of self-cooling devices. A simple and accurate 2D numerical model is developed which facilitates a quick analysis of design variables. Numerical data is within a good agreement (within 6%) with existing experimental data. The effect of extender height (Hext), fin base height (Hfbase), number of fins (Nfin) ranging from 10 mm to 50 mm, 2 mm to 12 mm, 24 to 64 respectively has been studied. In addition, the feasibility of using double and triple cascaded TEG system is investigated. An optimization algorithm to optimize system paramaters is implemented.

Little Buddha and Time Exchange
This LITTLE BUDDHA is a part of time exchange. My friend helped me install a furnace return this summer, and I am paying his labor with what I am good at. To be fair with him with the time spent for my home improvement project, I am helping him insulate his basement as well. In my opinion, time exchange is an excellent way to develop friendship.
Thank you Chuck and Marie. Hope your daughter will like this piece.
Ceramic Figure: BEING
During the summer, I was engaged in home improvement and gardening. Finally last month, I returned to creative work. You might remember I sculpted one similar to this at the beginning of this year. This time textures were added to the surface, and it will be hung on the wall in front of a painting. It will be interesting to incorporate different media into my ceramic work. Please look forward to it.

On August 19, the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice Antitrust Division (the “Agencies”) released new guidelines detailing their approach to assessing the competitive implications of horizontal mergers, and the circumstances in which such mergers will be challenged. The guidelines replace the 1997 Horizontal Merger Guidelines, which, over time, have ceased to reflect, at least in some respects, how the Agencies were actually assessing proposed transactions. Inconsistencies between the Agencies’ current approach and the old guidelines had also begun to serve as an impediment to Agency success when challenging proposed mergers in the courts. In announcing the new guidelines, Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust Christine Varney stated that the new guidelines would provide greater “transparency” regarding the Agencies’ current thinking in this area.
While many of the core principles of the earlier guidelines remain undisturbed, the heavy emphasis in the old guidelines on market definition and the increase in market share created by the merger have been replaced in the new guidelines by a more flexible, totality of the circumstances approach. Specifically, the new guidelines make clear that, at the end of the day, the Agencies’ principal focus is on whether the transaction has the potential to cause competitive harm to consumers, and the change in market share created by a merger will be viewed as only one indicator of the potential competitive significance of a transaction. The new guidelines also indicate that the Agencies will closely examine the parties’ views of the competitive effects of the transaction (gleaned from their internal documents), and customer views of the deal, in seeking to assess the likely competitive significance of a proposed deal and whether a challenge is warranted. The new guidelines take immediate effect.

My favourite case: protection for satire or parody upheld in famous ruling
The US right to free speech allowed a porn magazine to write a satirical piece about a televangelist’s sex life
What is your favourite case?
My favourite legal case is Hustler Magazine v Falwell, a United States Supreme Court decision from 1988.
The case is probably best known as the climax to the biopic The People v Larry Flynt.
Mr Falwell was a charismatic Christian and a televangelist. Mr Flynt was a self-made millionaire publisher mainly of pornographic magazines; the most famous being Hustler.
In the late 1970s Hustler magazine printed a satirical piece, which was a parody of an advertisement for the alcoholic drink Campari, in which various celebrities talk about their “first time” with the intentional double-entendre implying the article relates to their first sexual experience, when in fact it discussed their first time drinking Campari.
In the parody Hustler took a swipe at Falwell by indicating his first time was not just of an alcoholic nature but also incestuous with his mother who, they said, passed out drunk. Falwell sued for defamation.
A successful defamation case is notoriously difficult to achieve in the United States because of the constitutional protection of freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment. If the defendant can show an absence of malice, the plaintiff’s case will fall.
In the lower courts Falwell was able to convince the judge and jury that, because of the nature of the satire used in the Hustler magazine – that the publisher, ie Flynt, had taken a deliberate step to cause him (Falwell) both personal distress and harm – it showed malice in the publication of the satire.
Flynt was found liable in front of the jury and appealed, first to the Court of Appeal and then to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court held in favour of Flynt and Hustler magazine. The court stated that Falwell was a public figure and relied on his public characteristics, particularly his religious outlook, to further his business and, as such, was open to satire and ridicule, which should be protected by the constitutional guarantee on freedom of speech.
So, parodies of public figures, which could not reasonably be taken as true, are protected against civil liability by the First Amendment, and any intention to cause emotional distress was irrelevant.
The issue of malice did not arise. Hustler had a right to say whatever it liked, no matter how unpleasant, as long as it was clearly satirical and about a public figure.
In other words, the protection of freedom of speech extended to jokes about public figures.
Why is this your favourite case?
The reason this case is a favourite of mine is not really because of the business regarding freedom of expression, but it’s more because of the two major figures involved namely Falwell and Flynt.
Flynt, in particular, is extremely easy to admire but very difficult to like. He is a genuine self-made man (albeit in the world of pornography) and has always understood both his rights and the process.
Flynt has spent much of his life in a wheelchair after having been shot by a white supremacist serial killer who allegedly disliked some of the inter-racial nature of the pornography that was published by Flynt.
Occasionally acting as his own counsel, usually because his lawyers refused to act for him, Flynt would aggressively defend every action against him or his publications.
In later years Flynt and Falwell became close friends, both regarding what the other did for a living as being anathema to their own way of life but both having the respect of each other as men of faith and commitment albeit taking polar opposite positions.
Is the case still relevant?
For people in countries outside the US, the protection of the First Amendment’s right to free speech, applying to a parody, might seem strange, but this issue is why I like this case.
The fact that comedy, satire or parody is protected in law is a great boost for the entertainment industry.
If Falwell had won this case then the output of US comedians could have been much more guarded and we may not have had some of the brilliant routines that we’ve seen over the years on the likes of shows like Saturday Night Live, from talk-show hosts like Jay Leno, actors such as Will Ferrell or the many US comedies that are too numerous to name.
It’s ironic that the subject of a legal action by a televangelist against a pornographic magazine did not relate to pornographic content but instead related to a satirical advert.
We’ll probably never know if Falwell accidentally came across his parody while he was reading the magazine but, in the end, this was not a victory for the pornography industry, it was victory for comedy.

GALA (Galleries at LynnArts) has installed two window shows that can be viewed from the sidewalk at 25 Exchange St, Lynn, MA 01901.
“Facts of Life” is an installation by Stefanie Timmermann. The middle window is filled with flowers and plants. “For me, photographing flowers is often an invitation to delve into abstraction, curves and lines. It’s very meditative, and I can get absorbed into photographing a small plant for an hour or more. Photography in general kept me sane and functioning in the first several weeks of COVID-19 related lockdown, because it is an escape into a world I have some control over. I leave the fear behind when I put a camera in front of my eye. I have searched out flowers much more than usual, because they are uncomplicated and freely give their beauty and serenity.”
The left window is “Signage & Symbols”. Timmermann states “I do think we will get back to normal at some point. Maybe it will take a vaccine, maybe some precautions will remain. But the new normal we are living right now should be remembered when we can return to freedoms that we took for granted before. So in a way, these photos are documentary in nature. Maybe one day I’ll show them to kids during storytelling hour in the library: look, this is what life was like during the pandemic…”
The final window explores the isolation and upheaval. “The pandemic has not only led to a lot of isolation, it has also led to a deepening of the disparities between poor and rich, people of color and white ones. We live in a time of immense social and political upheaval. I wanted to document this, too, and I had the chance to photograph both an alt-right demonstration (demanding to re-open the economy), and a rally for Black Lives Matter in my hometown of Swampscott. Unlike a news reporter, though, I can take sides openly, and my heart will always be with peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters and everyone fighting for equality, inclusion and social justice.”
The Main Gallery windows will focus on an ever changing show called “Say It/Hear It” where artists have created scrolls that will hang on a rotating basis. 2020 has offered many challenges to us as individuals and as artists. GALA wants artists to show their art and how they are processing their feelings. They give a visual voice to what they, their family, our nation, and our planet is feeling. The first works hanging in the windows are cyanotypes by Sally Jacobson. Cyanotypes are an alternative photographic process most people would understand as blueprints. It is a cameraless process that allows the artist a lot of leeway for experimentation without much equipment. Sally uses cyanotype to document what she calls “the delicate and the fierce”. Jacobson’s work is her testament to the strength and fragility of the world. As new scrolls come in they will be hung in the windows and previous ones will recede behind them or be moved to the gallery walls in anticipation of re-opening.

With Mother’s Day approaching, I decided to look at some of the portraits of mothers with their children that I have captured in recent years. What I found interesting was that there seems to be a discernible pattern in the way I take those portraits.
Most of the time they are candid, spontaneous moments- unposed tributes the tenderness of a mother’s bond with her child.
In fact, looking at some of my favourites and casting my memory back to the particular circumstances under which they were taken, it occurred to me that many of those portraits were happy accidents. Very often during family photo sessions, I am urged to focus primarily on the children, perhaps including a full-family group shot. Photographers however tend to be opportunists. It is so much in the nature of a photographer (especially one who really loves their work) to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, that they may sneak a few “off-menu” shots. These can be valuable additions to the final selection as adults tend to yield fewer unaffected images. All too often fathers escape the photo shoot after a few minutes while mothers coyly decline on the grounds of being ” unphotogenic “.
I completely empathise with parents shy away from the camera; I freeze at the mere thought of being photographed. However as an artist who is in the right place at the right time with the right people, it would seam a waste not to capitalise on the circumstances.
I wish I had more photographs of my daughter with me that are not out-of-focus or in which I do not look tense and haunted. She is already 11 and I am anxious that opportunities are running out. Instead there are lots of my husband with our daughter but that is a separate blog entry…
Back to my point, I am delighted that many of the mothers that didn’t want to be on the photograph ended up loving the pictures and are now having them in their house hopefully for generations to come.
I would like to believe that these images are timeless (which is why I tend to choose them in black and white).
Here are some of the portraits I would love to share of mothers with their children:

According to a Special Report appearing in the Feb. 15, 2008, edition of the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the strength of the owner-pet bond relates in part to the amount of time a pet spends with its owners. While dogs spent about 45 hours a week with their owners, cats only spent about 32 hours a week. Learn more.
Dogs spend about 45 hours a week with their owners. About how much time each week do cats spend with their owners?

Another common mistake that she sees is that people focus too much on macronutrients: "Micronutrients are really important too as ketosis is metabolically demanding and the diet is not nutritionally adequate most of the time." She says that most of her clients take multivitamins, carnitine supplements, calcium supplements and sometimes selenium or zinc.
This is fantastic! I don’t feel like I’m on a “diet” at all. There’s plenty of food, plenty of protein- (I’m an omnivore- a clean one tho), the juices and snacks are tasty. It’s even surprisingly easy to swallow a spoonful of MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides), it tastes like buttery coconut cream! If that seems strange, one could simply mix it in with the salad or shake it up in the juices. No problem.
Now, Week 1’s shopping list is going to be long. I have to make the assumption you have nothing in your house. Many of the items are common items that most people will have already. These are all staples in my everyday cooking for keto, and should be considered an investment for your health. Once you have all of the items from week 1, there won’t be too much else to buy.
I get asked this question a lot. Generally speaking, the answer is no. As long as you avoid vegetables like corn, beets, and carrots, which are high in starch and sugar, especially carrot JUICE, which is packed with sugar, for example, you don't have to worry about the vegetable family. In fact, you want to eat lots of green leafy vegetables, cruciferous vegetables, Brussel sprouts—make big kale salads with bacon bits and a full fat dressing. Or make a big beet green sauté in coconut oil with some bacon, garlic, and onion stirred in. These will be dishes PACKED with potassium which will quiet food cravings much like fat does. Often, food cravings are nothing more than your body crying out for NUTRIENTS and MINERALS you’re not giving it. Your body doesn’t really want chips and sugar—it wants more potassium, magnesium, vitamin A, K2, and B vitamins.
What's more, studies that have examined the efficacy of the ketogenic diet for weight loss have a few questionable similarities. First, they use the keto diet in conjunction with an extremely low-calorie plan (under 1,000 per day!), which makes it difficult to determine what caused the actual weight loss. Second, they all question the long-term impact on your heart of eating mostly saturated fat, not to mention how hard (and boring) it is to eat mainly coconut oil and butter for months on end.
Just this week, a 25,000-person study presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Munich suggested that people on the lowest-carb diets had the highest risk of dying from cancer, cardiovascular conditions, and all other causes. Another study, published this month in the Lancet, also found that people who followed diets that were low in carbs and high in animal proteins had a higher risk of early death compared to those who consumed carbs in moderation. (The opposite was true, however, for low-carb dieters who opted for plant-based proteins over meat and dairy.)
This shopping list and meal plan can be heavily substituted to meet your needs. The first thing you’ll want to do is scan it over and make sure you like eating all of the foods listed here. Eating delicious foods is a big part of adhering to a diet long term! If there is a particular item you can’t stand just do a bit of research and find a substitution. Just make sure the item you decide to substitute in is similar in nutrition to the one you’re eliminating. This can be done with a quick google search or by using a website like My Fitness Pal.
The ketogenic diet is a medical nutrition therapy that involves participants from various disciplines. Team members include a registered paediatric dietitian who coordinates the diet programme; a paediatric neurologist who is experienced in offering the ketogenic diet; and a registered nurse who is familiar with childhood epilepsy. Additional help may come from a medical social worker who works with the family and a pharmacist who can advise on the carbohydrate content of medicines. Lastly, the parents and other caregivers must be educated in many aspects of the diet for it to be safely implemented.
First, I want to thank you for all of your dedication and work in providing this site. The difficulty of maintaining a healthy weight is a big problem for so many people. My personal question & issue in staying on Keto is my craving for fresh fruit. This a.m I had a large fresh peach along with my “Bullet Proof” coffee. Have I now sabotaged today’s Keto eating?
The most science-backed performance-boosting supplements, such as creatine monohydrate, beta-alanine, and caffeine, are all A-OK on the ketogenic diet. So, if you take a pre-workout, you should be able to continue without issue. I would also recommend gulping down some bouillon before your session to ensure your sodium and magnesium levels are on point.
A ketogenic diet, or keto diet, is a very low carbohydrate eating plan that forces the body to use fat rather than glucose as a primary energy source. When you follow the plan, you build meals around fatty foods and significantly restrict your intake of carbohydrates and protein. As a result of that macronutrient balance, acids called ketones are produced in the body. When ketone levels are high enough, the dieter is in a state of ketosis.
Take a 2 – 3 cups of lettuce, crumble in some bacon and dice a medium tomato. Mix that with two or three tablespoons of mayo, and toss after adding some splashes of hot sauce. Delicious, filling, full of fiber and healthy fats, and absolutely easy. I know the mayo sounds weird as a dressing, but trust us; it’s amazing! Add in some avocado chunks to boost potassium too!
One cup sliced cucumbers and 10 large olives makes for a great keto-friendly snack, with added benefits: “This is a great snack to help people in ketosis supplement their sodium levels." says Desiree Nielsen, R.D., author of Un-Junk Your Diet. When you're in ketosis, your body needs more sodium, and “without adequate sodium, people are at risk for dehydration, constipation, and more dangerous electrolyte imbalances," she adds.
You’re very welcome, Judy! I’m glad it’s helpful. If you are keto (as opposed to low carb), unfortunately peaches would not allow you to stay in ketosis. You can check my keto food list to help determine what is keto friendly. Of course, there are worse things than fresh fruit 🙂 but in the end our bodies still see the sugar. That being said, it doesn’t mean you sabotaged the whole day. Just pick up again – you got this!! (And for next time, try some fresh berries in moderation when you’re craving fruit.)
There are many scenarios that can cause constipation with the ketogenic diet. Most people assume it’s a fiber issue; but it’s not that simple. You want to compare what you were doing before ketosis and after. Look at the change in vegetable fiber consumption; if you don’t have enough gut bacteria to digest all these vegetables, they will cause bloating, constipation, gas and all kinds of digestive issues. Some people can digest vegetables and others can’t. Some people can’t digest cabbage or cruciferous veggies. So, you might have to switch to less fibrous vegetables, such as various kinds of lettuce, and especially kale and beet greens, for your potassium. Electrolytes greatly help with constipation, too. If you need more support getting electrolytes, try my electrolyte powder. It helps supply the 4,700 mg a day of potassium you need, which is hard to manage without eating loads of vegetables.
The ketogenic diet is calculated by a dietitian for each child. Age, weight, activity levels, culture and food preferences all affect the meal plan. First, the energy requirements are set at 80–90% of the recommended daily amounts (RDA) for the child's age (the high-fat diet requires less energy to process than a typical high-carbohydrate diet). Highly active children or those with muscle spasticity require more calories than this; immobile children require less. The ketogenic ratio of the diet compares the weight of fat to the combined weight of carbohydrate and protein. This is typically 4:1, but children who are younger than 18 months, older than 12 years, or who are obese may be started on a 3:1 ratio. Fat is energy-rich, with 9 kcal/g (38 kJ/g) compared to 4 kcal/g (17 kJ/g) for carbohydrate or protein, so portions on the ketogenic diet are smaller than normal. The quantity of fat in the diet can be calculated from the overall energy requirements and the chosen ketogenic ratio. Next, the protein levels are set to allow for growth and body maintenance, and are around 1 g protein for each kg of body weight. Lastly, the amount of carbohydrate is set according to what allowance is left while maintaining the chosen ratio. Any carbohydrate in medications or supplements must be subtracted from this allowance. The total daily amount of fat, protein and carbohydrate is then evenly divided across the meals.

Hi Tammy, I still have to try the muffin tin method to ive you a better response. Why don’t you make the recipe using exact ingredients for one bread multiplied x 9-10 and divide between 12 muffin tin slots? I think this will work better. This way we are not changing the amount of eggs. If you use less eggs, the bread will be more dry, since it is gluten-free.
This recipe is from our e-book, 20 Low-Carb Instant Pot Pressure Cooker Recipes. In the e-book we call it “Better Than Crack Chicken”, which it really is! We switched up the seasoning a little (omitted the Ranch mix and added our own keto-friendly seasonings), and this takes it over the top in terms of deliciousness. Our e-book is now on sale on Amazon for just $4.99!
I have PCOS as well. Research a PCOS-specific diet. It often overlaps with Keto or Paleo recipes. But you have to also avoid holstein cow produced dairy products, red meat, pork, soy products (which are in almost every processed food) in addition to carbs and sugar. And absolutely avoid anything you can’t be sure doesn’t have extra hormones injected into it (like many mass-farmed meats). Vigorous exercise is also necessary to lose weight when you have PCOS (It’s much, much more difficult for us to lose weight than people with normal hormonal balances).
Low carb diets focus on keto recipes (also known as ketogenic recipes) like the ones below to keep your blood sugar stable, helping your body regain insulin sensitivity and keeping your mood and energy levels stable. Also, since processed food has so many additives – usually sugar included – low carb diets encourage you to cook for yourself. This leads to eating more whole foods and improving your diet in that way as well.
Keto recipes that include nachos?! Oh yes. You’ll begin by making the fat head tortilla chips first. Did I mention you’ll use two types of cheese for this step? Delicious. Next, you’ll load them up with a meaty sauce and finish them off with your favorite toppings, like guac, salsa or sour cream. While these make a delicious snack, they’re frankly filling enough to share as a meal.
In contrast, multivitamins aren’t a good solution as they are synthetic and lack a lot of nutrients like polyphenols, antioxidants and fiber that green powders and whole food sources provide. And the lack of fats and enzymes make the nutrients they do contain very difficult to process properly. Just because you’re putting something in your body doesn’t mean your body can use it.
In many developing countries, the ketogenic diet is expensive because dairy fats and meat are more expensive than grain, fruit and vegetables. The modified Atkins diet has been proposed as a lower-cost alternative for those countries; the slightly more expensive food bill can be offset by a reduction in pharmaceutical costs if the diet is successful. The modified Atkins diet is less complex to explain and prepare and requires less support from a dietitian.
Low carb dinners can be a daunting task. We’re making it easy with our collection of mouth-watering, low carb dinners. They’ll have you itching to get in the kitchen and start cooking. We’ve got all the low carb dinner ideas you’re craving and more. Whether you’re in the mood for a keto dinner like a casserole or a steak, you can find all the low carb dinner recipes you need to keep you and your family happy!
“I really believe that the more informed you are about the benefits of a healthy bite versus the chain reaction that you’re going to put into effect in your body when you take that bite — you just suddenly don’t want to make that choice for yourself anymore. It’s beyond willpower at that point; it’s become a desire to do something good for yourself.” — Christie Brinkley
When you get to one meal a day, just make sure the meal is a robust one, containing all the needed nutrients to fortify your body with vitamins, minerals, amino acids, those important fatty acids, trace minerals—all of it. (This can be aided with green drink powders and high-quality electrolyte supplements that will help you get your daily requirements for potassium.)
Some people on a keto or low carb diet choose to count total carbs instead of net carbs. This makes it more difficult to fit in more leafy greens and low carb vegetables (which are filled with fiber), so you should only try that if you don’t get results with a net carb method. And, start with reducing sugar alcohols and low carb treats before deciding to do a “total carbs” method.
When you eat tons of carbs, your blood sugar is consistently elevated, and then so is insulin. Insulin is a hormone that keeps your blood sugar in check by shuttling the glucose into cells, but when there’s a consistently high amount of insulin, your cells become resistant. This insulin resistance makes it easier to store fat, and chronically high levels of insulin also cause excessive inflammation in the body, which contributes to heart disease, high blood pressure, and potentially type 2 diabetes.
Rethink the heavily-promoted idea that vegetables and whole grains are the healthiest foods to eat. They are not. Animal foods offer greater amounts of more easily-absorbed nutrients and vegetables and grains contain many natural toxins. I'm not saying don't eat vegetables, they do provide some benefit. I am saying give up the grains, the negative effect of these foods outweighs any nutritive value they have.
After initiation, the child regularly visits the hospital outpatient clinic where he or she is seen by the dietitian and neurologist, and various tests and examinations are performed. These are held every three months for the first year and then every six months thereafter. Infants under one year old are seen more frequently, with the initial visit held after just two to four weeks. A period of minor adjustments is necessary to ensure consistent ketosis is maintained and to better adapt the meal plans to the patient. This fine-tuning is typically done over the telephone with the hospital dietitian and includes changing the number of calories, altering the ketogenic ratio, or adding some MCT or coconut oils to a classic diet. Urinary ketone levels are checked daily to detect whether ketosis has been achieved and to confirm that the patient is following the diet, though the level of ketones does not correlate with an anticonvulsant effect. This is performed using ketone test strips containing nitroprusside, which change colour from buff-pink to maroon in the presence of acetoacetate (one of the three ketone bodies).
Beef Pemmican — Pemmican is a delicious paste of dried and pounded meat mixed with melted fat and other ingredients, originally made by North American Indians and later adapted by Arctic explorers. It is an undeniably delicious keto snack if you want something that is filling with beefy flavor. I recommend getting your pemmican from U.S. Wellness Meats. Opt for the Honey & Cherry-Free Beef Pemmican.
Please note that I am not a medical or nutritional professional. I am simply recounting and sharing my own experiences on this blog. Nothing I express here should be taken as medical advice and you should consult with your doctor before starting any diet or exercise program. I provide nutritional information for my recipes simply as a courtesy to my readers. It is calculated using MacGourmet software and I remove erythritol from the final carb count and net carb count, as it does not affect my own blood glucose levels. I do my best to be as accurate as possible but you should independently calculate nutritional information on your own before relying on them. I expressly disclaim any and all liability of any kind with respect to any act or omission wholly or in part in reliance on anything contained in this website.
Protein is the other type that can also prevent you from getting into ketosis IF it’s too high. It is generally recommended that you keep your protein intake between 3-6 ounces per meal. High-protein diets, as in the Atkins Diet, can keep you from getting into ketosis. This is because your liver can only process a certain amount of protein. Anything more than around 30 grams per meal will then be converted into glucose (sugar). So, ketosis is NOT a high protein diet. It is a moderate protein diet. We need some protein for supporting our structural body parts and their replacement. This includes muscle, joints, hair, nails, skin, and organs.
Hi Maya. I LOVE your site!! Interesting, informative with fab recipes and ideas. Hubby and I have just started eating low carb and I have to say, we are not finding it too difficult and I already feel sooo much better!! I find the hardest part is choosing low carb veg, I feel as if we are not eating enough. Any suggestions on how to get more veggies into our diet?
You’ll quickly find that salads are your friend when in ketosis, and for a good reason: they provide lots of food to fill you up, but they’re not going to bog you down. A bed of spinach with some red onion, bacon, a little tomato, and a hot sauce vinaigrette is quick and delicious. Add in some protein – perhaps that leftover salmon from day 1 – and you’ve got a complete, healthy lunch.
For the purpose of this keto meal plan, you will be making food for Monday morning through Sunday night. This should provide a full, 7 day comprehensive meal plan for you to follow. On Sunday you will make breakfast and lunch for the 5 day work week as well as the first dinner. Then mid week you will make a second dinner. The weekend is more of a free for all with less set parameters. This is the time to experiment and try new things. I am going under the assumption that you have more time to cook and prepare on the weekend and also that you might have leftover food from the week. If your weekends are totally slammed, consider just premaking all 7 days of food by tweaking the quantities in the recipes.
Everyone wants to save money right? Well, this blog post will lay out a comprehensive plan for saving money while eating a healthy keto diet. Low carb on a budget is simple, it just takes some planning and flexibility to use whatever is on sale. Before we get too far into it I’d like to lay out the whole suite we have put together for anyone looking for more info on the specifics of this plan:
But when you look at long-term results, there is very little difference between the two. 'Part of this is because adherence is very poor for low-carb diets in the long term – that is, people find it difficult to maintain a very low-carb diet, which suggests it's probably not sustainable to continue eating this way in the long-term,' says Dr Barclay.
After about two to seven days of following this eating routine, you go into something called ketosis, or the state your body enters when it doesn't have enough carbs for your cells to use for energy. Then it starts making ketones, or organic compounds that your bod then uses in place of those missing carbs—and oh, it also burns fat for more energy, says Beth Warren, R.D., founder of Beth Warren Nutrition and author of Living A Real Life With Real Food.

These are the businesses in New Orleans that have had to close their doors permanently in 2020, not just because of the stay-at-home order and restrictions to restaurants. If you know a bar, a restaurant, or a café that has closed for good, we are so sorry you’ll have to miss this place you love.
List of Businesses that Closed in New Orleans in 2020
On Instagram, Namese publicly announced that they had to close their doors. It was opened by a team of siblings, named Hieu and Denise Doan, in 2014. This was part of a wave of new generation Vietnamese restaurants, which started in New Orleans. It honored a tradition as it broke new ground of flavor. Namese was liked for how it renovated space in Mid City for its pho, rice, and banh mi.
This is the popularly known Freret Street music venue and bar. Gasa Gasa, which is for sale at the moment, housed the latest New Orleans music. Now it’s the latest venue that had to be closed as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. It was placed on sale by its owners in April. Its co-owner, Dane Peterson, stated that he chose to put Gasa Gasa for sale, because there wasn’t a timeline where he saw music venues reopening. It started its business in 2013 on a stretch of the Freret corridor, which was later changed to a district of the arts in the year 2008. It was also known for an eclectic lineup of artists that were independent and bands which hosted pop up art shows and screenings for films.
K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen
In the French Quarter, there’s an institution meant for dining called the K-Paul’s Louisiana Kitchen that was founded by the late but famous Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme, and it was announced that it would be closed after being a business for more than 40 years. Brenda Prudhomme, Paul’s niece, and Paul Miller, Brenda’s husband and the chef of the restaurant, talked about closing up at different times of the year because of restrictions for business because of the pandemic.
Polly’s Bywater Café
Polly’s Bywater Café is a dining scene in the neighborhood. It replaced St. Claude Avenue’s The Cheezy Cajun. It had dinner classics that were of high quality for all three meals of the day. The prices were reasonable, and it was in a space that was filled with art and it was funky with a warm friendly vibe. It is going to be a great loss to the neighborhood. Luckily, there seems to be an exciting potential replacement.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the people of New Orleans have had to suffer the closure of some of their best places to visit because of one reason to another. We wish all the small business owners and their employees the best in their future endeavors.

As employers continue to address the COVID-19 pandemic, they now face a new set of workforce challenges related to extreme weather and wildfires. Both are creating a challenging remote work environment due to: (1) recent evacuations; and (2) heat exposure risks linked to employees now forced to work in their homes with closed windows (and lack of proper air ventilation). Employers should consider preparing themselves for a further reduced workforce caused by such complications.
The CDC has cautioned that wildfire smoke can irritate a person’s lungs, cause inflammation, affect the immune system, and make a person more vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19.1 According to the CDC, those who may be most at-risk of fire-related complications include people who currently have or are recovering from COVID-19, children under the age of 18, adults age 65 or older, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions, such as heart or lung disease, asthma, and diabetes, outdoor workers, people who are immunocompromised or taking drugs that suppress the immune system, and people who have a lower socioeconomic status, including those who have limited access to medical care. As a result, employers should be mindful that a growing number of workers may be taking time off work or making other accommodation requests related to their own health or the health of a family member. Even where an employee provides limited information, employers should evaluate whether the request for time off work may be protected under the ADA/FEHA, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act, or some other applicable state and local paid sick and leave laws.
Employers should be aware that outdoor workers are at increased health risk and require additional protections. The wildfires have caused serious issues with air quality and local public health authority and CDC guidelines are recommending that individuals avoid unnecessary outdoor exposure and exertion. Last year, Cal/OSHA enacted an emergency regulation to protect outdoor workers from wildfire smoke exposure.2 This regulation requires employers to take steps to reduce employee exposure to poor air quality, whenever feasible, including by putting administrative and engineering controls in place, such as providing enclosed buildings/structures, relocating work locations, changing work schedules, reducing work intensity, providing additional rest periods, and providing appropriate respiratory protective equipment.
Wildfires may also make it more difficult for employers to identify whether their workers’ “symptoms” are related to COVID-19 versus smoke inhalation from the wildfires. As noted by the CDC, some symptoms, like dry cough, sore throat, and difficulty breathing, can be caused by both wildfire smoke exposure and COVID-19. In contrast, symptoms like fever or chills, muscle or body aches, and diarrhea are typically not related to smoke exposure, according to the CDC. Therefore, employers should consider training and educating their workforce on the similarities and, more importantly, differences between these two conditions. Employers may consider asking the employee to seek medical advice if there is any question as to which category the symptom falls under so the employer may continue to exclude COVID-19-related hazards from the workplace.
Finally, employers should be aware that California grants additional unpaid leave and protections for employees who serve as volunteer emergency responders (volunteer firefighter, reserve peace officer, or emergency rescue personnel) and need to take time off to perform emergency duties. . The law does not require an employee to provide advance notice of the need for leave, except in the case of a healthcare worker, who must notify his/her employer at the time the employee becomes designated as an emergency rescue worker and when the employee is notified that he or she will be called to action. Employers may not discharge or otherwise discriminate against any employee who takes time off for this reason. Employers that violate this law may be guilty of a misdemeanor, so employers should carefully evaluate whether a time off request is related to volunteer first responder obligations and determine leave and reinstatement rights.3 Employers may also wish to consider whether their attendance policies penalize employees for taking protected time off.
As the challenges facing California employers in 2020 continue to mount, it is increasingly important for employers to have the appropriate tools in place to monitor developments and create strategies for responding appropriately.

Maintain medical equipment
A caregiver may need to maintain various types of medical equipment in the home. This article lists some main categories of home medical equipment, and then offers basic techniques for cleaning, disinfecting, and maintaining them.
Types of home medical equipment
A caregiver may need to maintain various types of medical equipment in the home, particularly if the person they are caring for has significant medical or mobility problems. These include equipment for the following1:
- Testing: These are kits and devices that measure blood, saliva, or urine for things such as blood glucose or COVID-19.
- Assisting: Assistive devices can aid a person’s senses (for instance, hearing aids and speech readers) or help with their mobility (for instance, wheelchairs and scooters).
- Metering and monitoring: This category includes devices that assess or track conditions, such as digital blood-pressure monitors, pulse oximeters (blood-oxygen monitors), and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs).
- Helping the person breathe: Portable oxygen devices and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machines are two of the most common pieces of equipment in this category.
- Treating conditions: Equipment that delivers treatment includes insulin infusion pumps, nebulizers, IVs, and home dialysis machines.
- Voiding: Common voiding equipment includes catheters and colostomy bags.
Cleaning and disinfecting medical equipment
Medical equipment should be kept clean and disinfected. “Clean” means that dirt, dust, and grime are absent; however, germs are still present. “Disinfected” means that germs have been killed; however, dirt, dust, and grime may still be present. The caregiver needs to make sure that, where applicable, medical equipment is both clean and disinfected.
- Clean hands. Caregivers should wash their hands with soap and warm water frequently and dry them on a clean, dry towel.
- Clean and disinfect surfaces on which equipment and supplies are placed. Use soap and water, an antibacterial wipe, and/or a solution of bleach and water (depending on the surface). However, do not use wipes or any other cleaner on the medical equipment itself except as instructed in the instructional material that comes with the equipment.
- Clean any rags or cloth. If possible, bleach materials during laundering. Avoid using sponges, as these have the most bacteria of any item in a house.2 If a sponge is used, it should be a new one and should be thrown away after one use.
- Clean according to instructions of the manufacturer, supplier, or medical professional. Commonly recommended cleaning fluids include a mixture of 1 part white vinegar to 3 parts water, a solution of bleach and water (always dilute bleach: undiluted bleach can be harmful and is no more effective at killing germs), or isopropyl alcohol (concentrated rubbing alcohol).3 Equipment that disperses substances through the air, such as humidifiers and nebulizers, can be cleaned with dish soap and hot water and disinfected with a solution of water and white vinegar.
Looking after durable medical equipment (DME)
Durable medical equipment (DME) is anything that is:
- Used repeatedly (as opposed to equipment and supplies that are disposable)
- Designed for home use
- Used (in general) by someone who is sick or injured.4
DME includes a wide range of equipment, from grab bars and commode chairs to oxygen tanks and infusion pumps. It can be either bought or rented. In addition, many communities have equipment-loan programs.
Before taking any piece of equipment home, read the Home Healthcare Medical Devices Checklist of the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) to make sure you have received all the information.
Since durable medical equipment varies widely in type and complexity, there is no single way to maintain it. Some DME, such as a grab bar or commode seat, is small enough and simple enough for the caregiver to bring home themselves and maintain with minimal instruction. However, suppliers of larger or more complex home medical equipment, such as a dialysis machine or hospital bed, are required to deliver, set up, and instruct the person receiving care and their caregivers in how to use and maintain it.5 The technician who delivers the equipment will also leave an instruction manual and phone number that the caregiver can call with questions or problems.
Take the time to read all instructional material received and to ask questions. If the person receiving care has just come home from the hospital, ask for a nurse to come to the home to teach caregivers about using and maintaining the DME. The person’s physical therapist can provide instructions on use and maintenance of a wheelchair or walker.6
General tips for keeping medical equipment at home
- Know what resources are needed to operate the equipment. These can include electricity, running water, and a computer or internet connection.
- If the equipment runs on electricity, check with an electrician to make sure that the home’s electrical wiring system is updated and grounded, to prevent equipment failure or electrical shock. Also make plans for what happens if the power goes out; a generator or other back-up source will be needed.
- If the equipment runs on batteries, ensure there are extras on hand.
- Keep the supplier’s emergency number handy in case equipment malfunctions or fails.
- Make sure all caregivers are trained in operating and maintaining the equipment.
- Make sure all caregivers are familiar with what any alarms and error messages mean and what steps to take if they occur.
- When not in use, find a place to store medical equipment away from heat, humidity, direct sunlight, children, and pets.
- Store oxygen tanks and tubing in a well-ventilated place, as oxygen can build up in the air and concentrate in soft materials in the area, such as clothes and bedding.7
- Never smoke in a house where there is an oxygen machine, as even a spark can ignite the oxygen and cause a flash explosion or a fire.8

Project supported by Training4Changes
According to a 2019 poll carried out by Training4Changes in South Africa, 100 % of the people surveyed declared being affected by negative childhood experiences, including domestic violence and negligence. For the South African Depression and Anxiety Group, 1 out of every 6 South Africans suffers from anxiety, depression or drug or substance abuse. Nearly 75 % of the sick get no health care or support. The mental health resources and infrastructures are totally insufficient for coping with the heavy burden. For this reason, the South African government has admitted the pressing need to equip community workers, including coaches, so they can provide a first line of support.
In this context, CAC and T4C have joined forces in view of consolidating the works they have doing since 2015.
- Providing the coaches and the young with emotional literacy skills so that they can help one another and understand how to make emotions work for rather than against them
- Equipping the coaches so they can form the first line of support in mental health care and creating safety areas for the treatment of trauma
- Sensitising youngsters on the best practices for evolving in a context of pandemics and providing them with new skills to build their mental resilience
- Selecting coaches and training them on CAC methods and programmes that lay the emphasis on mental health care, psychological first aid, the response to COVID-19, hygiene education, etc.
- Building safety areas for social inclusion and holistic care thanks to daily sporting, educational and fun sessions
- # againstALLodds campaign giving girls opportunities to play futsal, promoting gender equality and the empowerment of girls and young women
- 2,500 youths shall be enjoying support and an outreach programme on physical and psychological traumas, on hygiene and transmissible infections
- 100 coaches trained according to “Coaches Across Continents” methods and programmes
- Over 10 communities, beginning with the Cape’s big province and far beyond in South Africa
- Over 8,580 indirect beneficiaries indirect including nearly 800 elderly people shall be impacted by the project’s young participants and coaches

A favorite at our house is tapioca pudding, but a unique twist to that recipe is How to Make Lavender Tapioca Pudding.
The lavender plants in my kitchen garden have matured beautifully this year, and I love to scent my lingerie drawers and linen closets with lavender, so adding lavender to food recipes is another exciting way to enjoy lavender.
I infuse the milk in this recipe with a fresh lavender stalk and leaves, as well as adding some beautiful dried lavender buds to the pudding mixture, so you get little bursts of lavender throughout the pudding.
Lavender Tapioca Pudding:
I use Minute Tapioca, but any other kind of tapioca can be used.
Type: Dessert Recipe
Prep Time: 30 min
Yield: 3 – 4 servings
The ingredients & instructions are listed below the video for measurements & directions. Please enjoy this webisode of Cooking with Kimberly:
- 3 tbsp Minute Tapioca
- 2 3/4 cups milk
- 1 egg – slightly beaten
- 1/4 cup + 1 tsp sugar
- 1 fresh lavender stalk with leaves
- 1/2 tsp dried lavender buds – I used Neob Culinary Lavender.
- dash of salt
- 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Into a medium sized sauce pan, add egg & milk and whisk together.
- Whisk in until well combined, salt, sugar, Minute Tapioca and float lavender stalk with leaves on top. Give it a good stir.
- Allow to stand for at least 5 min.
- With heat on medium, bring pudding mixture up to a full bubbling boil, stirring constantly, so it doesn’t burn.
- Remove from heat immediately.
- Stir in vanilla and remove lavender stalk.
- Fold in lavender buds.
- Allow pudding to cool for about 10 min and give it a good stir. In another 10 min, give pudding another thorough stir.
- Fill parfait dessert glasses with pudding and garnish each glass with a few lavender buds and a little leaf of fresh lavender, if you have it.
- Note: Pudding can be served warm or cold.
- Option: If desired, the pudding can be served with a dollop of whipped cream, then garnished with lavender buds.

Hello Queens and Kings,
The update to 1.130 will take place on Monday 9th July. There will be a short period of downtime during the update, we apologize for any inconvenience caused during this time.
For the detailed description of the changes, please see the list below:
- We have added a "Self-Aid"-Mode to the game, which will allow you to more easily apply your self-aid kits to multiple buildings. Simply use a kit from your inventory and you can conveniently motivate and polish any building or decoration of your choice! A counter at the top of the screen will show you how many kits you still have left.
- We have decided to re-balance the Hover Tank unit from the Future Era of the game. It was always our goal to create a powerful and future-themed unit with the Hover Tank but with time, we came to realize that the combination of the stealth and reactive armor skills is so powerful, that it in many cases renders using units from Arctic Future, Oceanic Future and, soon, Virtual Future less viable. As Forge of Empires is a game with the core idea of going through the ages, we want to provide incentive to our players to do so.
As a result, the Hover Tank's reactive armor has been replaced with Force Field (value of 2). Additionally, we have reduced the movement to 15 and increased its defense to 120.
We believe that this will let the Hover Tank remain a very useful unit in its own age, but will no longer influence units from later ages in a negative way.
We hope that you will enjoy the new units coming with Virtual Future in a few weeks!
- We have fixed a few instances where icons on the campaign map could be displayed in the wrong positions.
- After closing a window using the "Esc"-Key, tooltips and context menus remained open. This has now been corrected.
- We have changed the behavior of windows in the game so that they can darken the background only once. This will make sure the background is always visible even if a lot of windows are opened.
- In some instances, the game's images could be corrupted when switching to a different part of the game while a tooltip was being displayed. This has been fixed now.
- In HTML5, text input fields could sometimes be unresponsive in Fullscreen. This should now have been corrected.
- The new Daily Challenges standalone quest battles did not count toward battle objectives in quests. They now are counted correctly.
- We have fixed some cases in which players were unable to remove an existing friend from their friend list.
- The Arc bonus display calculation was sometimes dismissing part of the bonus for the calculation, even though the correct amounts were always granted upon leveling the building. This has been corrected.
- When searching for an non-existing item in the inventory, an untranslated error message was displayed. The translation should now show up instead.
- We have fixed an issue that could cause the tutorial to get stuck when playing on a slow connection.
- We have fixed an issue that could break the keyboard shortcuts after an incident in the city has been collected.
- The Guild forum button was visible for players who aren't in a guild - this has been corrected now.
- Having pending friend request sometimes prevented the player who sent the request to also invite the player into their guild. This should now work as expected again.
In the meantime, our development team is working on the upcoming summer event. Check our Beta server to be always up to date!
Thank you for playing Forge of Empires!

Apparently glancing over the boxscore from Friday’s 11-point loss at Oregon, more than one reader was confused at why center Regina Rogers was played. She saw five minutes before being pulled by Washington coach Tia Jackson.
I’m not going the extreme of some e-mails and passing comments saying Rogers shouldn’t be played at all. If you watch her game, you can tell there’s something special there. She has a nice shooting touch and can grab rebounds.
But as Jackson admitted after practice today, Rogers’ conditioning is a problem.
So, when the Huskies faced the Ducks’ noted run-and-gun game, Rogers couldn’t guard or make enough quick moves to be effective on offense. Sophomore Mollie Williams played instead, leaving Rogers on the bench with one rebound, one foul, and one turnover.
“I’m not a fan of exposing any weakness of my players,” Jackson said. “The game was really too fast for her, to be honest with you.”
Jackson said she spoke in-game with Rogers about the benching and they mutually agreed it was the best solution to give UW (5-6 overall, 0-1 Pac-10) a chance to win. Teammate Mackenzie Argens was in the midst of a career night with 21 points and nine rebounds while Williams finished with nine points and six boards.
Too bad Oregon senior guard Taylor Lilley hit eight three-pointers in her career-high 33-point night to guide the Ducks to victory.
Rogers (pictured right by Jim Bates of The Seattle Times) is expected to play in Sunday’s matchup against Oregon State (9-2, 1-0), which will be a defensive battle. The Beavers held opponents to 49 points or fewer in their past four games — a school record.
“She took one for the team,” said Jackson of Rogers. “We will get her to where she needs to be. A year from now, we’re looking for a [Dexter] Pittman I.D. And that’s ideal – the same reciprocation.”
Pittman lost 93-pounds in transition from high school play to college at Texas.
I’ll have more on Rogers in the newspaper soon, but for now, if an opponent plays a fast-paced game like Oregon, don’t expect to see Rogers on the court. But watch her play before questioning why she starts — that should be clear against any other style of basketball.
