Dear Diary: It's been six months and a few days since we sold our darling stone cottage in Galt, Ontario. Since, we have taken up residence at the storybook Caberneigh Farms with endless thanks to our friends Nicole and PJ who had a fancy barn with wi-fi and vacancy. We are in good company with Scotch mint-sucking horses and Olive the pig as neighbours. We even have our own resident barn cats, Lucy and Freddie. We've been spoiled by a steady supply of just-laid eggs and jars of Caberneigh Just Hitched honey. We've been privy to Nicole's custom velvety egg nog and crème brulee. And scotch-tasting sessions with PJ, but that's another story. And doesn't involve eggs, though a Scotch egg would be really good right about now.
Bonus: Kim has almost earned her 4-H badge, John Deere tractor license and chainsaw operator certification. In addition to pig hoof trimming, we've learned how to contend with preventing pig break-in and enters, and how to keep four cats and six dogs from becoming a circus act.
What we never dreamed is that we'd still be without a forwarding address six months later. (Or, learning the fine art of chicken wrangling).
We packed our storage pod strategically—but, without thinking that we might need to access such things as winter boots and hockey equipment. Oh well, winter is almost over, right?
In six months we have slept in so many beds and scoured Ontario's waterfront lots from Tobermory to Perth to Prince Edward County and over a dozen lakes in the Frontenac. Coinciding with this magical quest: finding hotels in parts unknown. Some have been dreamy and a complete refuge with Calgon-take-me-away bathtubs to sink into while others could have doubled for serial killer-type movie sets.
Normally I round up the best places we have slept each year. It's been an annual tradition that we have enormous fun 'researching.' However, this year it seemed that for every remarkable place we slept, there was a nightmare hotel to match it.
The 18% Cream of the Crop:
Langdon Hall Country House Hotel and Spa, Blair, Ontario $310 midweek, $405 weekends
We kind of ruined ourselves by staying here. Yes, this is the same hotel I worked at in my previous incarnation as a massage therapist. To be on the receiving end of all the luxury is a marvelous thing. The grounds are not only manicured, but pedicured too. It's like driving into a postcard. Deer tiptoe by, smoke curls out of the chimneys, and the brioche French toast with Earl Grey tea-infused maple syrup is like breakfast giving you a big hug. Langdon has its merits for all seasons, but staying on a deep freeze night in December makes the in-room fireplace the best balm.
Suggestion? Pack a bottle of bubbly, get that fire roaring and order in the sumptuous $25 Wilks' burger piled high with black pepper bacon and molasses compote and Smoked Majestic Henry Cheese. The crispy skin-on fries are served with an addictive mustard seed and thyme aioli.
Be sure to sink into that gorgeous bathtub and prepare yourself for a rejuvenating sleep on a cloud.
WHITNEY MANOR, Kingston, Ontario $179 HOT DEAL (reg. $275)
This was my birthday junket. A road trip around Wolfe Island, Stone City Ales and mac n' cheese-stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches from MLTDWN (get it? Meltdown). And, this. The Murphy Suite–which is exactly the kind of place and space we want to buy.
With exposed limestone, post and beam, a dreamy loft bedroom and soaker tub–this 1100-square foot suite is unforgettable. We wanted to lock the door and swallow the key.
Suggestion: There's a full kitchen, so bring all the fixings you need for the barbie and breakfast so you don't have to leave until check-out!
NEVIS ESTATES B&B, Perth, Ontario $175/night
After an extensive house hunting and gathering mission in the Frontenac, we were weary, soggy and starved. Our intrepid realtor, Barb Shepherd physically drove us to "Jenny's Place" and introduced us. She insisted we stay there and skip the only other available option—the $189 standard Queen at the Best Western. She assured us we'd love Jenny, everyone did. Barb was right.
As soon as we entered the Colonial heritage stone estate (c.1842), we wanted to curl up with cocoa and read Thoreau. Jenny is like your favourite blanket: warm, comforting, reassuring. She listened to our disenchantment with finding a house and rallied our spirits with her own story with a tap root deep in New Zealand. The house she has renovated with her husband is a true marvel, it really feels like a fun sleepover with a close friend. Breakfast is an elaborate affair and though Kim and I usually cringe at chirpy early morning convos with assorted guests at B&B's, the two twentysomething girls we sat with were colourful and engaging. Between frying bacon and flipping fluffy omelettes, Jenny joined in on the story telling, knowing both girls well from long-term stays.
The chatty equestrians were part of Ian Millar's (hello Big Ben!) Millar Brooke Farm and were hotly anticipating competition at the Royal Winter Fair. As a just-out-of-the-oven loaf of brown-sugar crusted banana bread was delivered to the table, the girls told us all about 'cribbing,' a phenomena that is akin to crack for horses. By biting and hooking their incisors on a stall door or fence, they flex their necks, contract their larynx and swallow air, creating a gasping or grunting sound that is addictive.
So, stay at Jenny's for the Jacuzzi and take-home slices of can't-get-enough banana bread. AND, ever-changing but illuminating breakfast conversation with other guests. Book the local lumber baron's room, The Senator McLaren.
PULLMAN G BANGKOK, Thailand $200/night
This place has sexy in spades. It's contemporary, it smells like warm vanilla pudding. It's whitewashed and just oozes cool with a low thumping soundtrack, zebra skins, faux safari trophy heads, Foosball and craft Thai beers at the adjoining bar (25 Degrees Burger, Wine & Liquor Bar). The Pullman G is like entering a Miami night club. The elevators pulse with non-stop video of seductive pouty-lipped Swedes and, in another, bike tires spinning with playing cards ticking in the spokes. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the suite are the perfect front row seat to Bangkok's sky-on-fire sunsets.
The breakfast bar here was an oasis after two weeks in China, eating starchy boxed breakfasts of white things: cakey muffins, stale croissants and white buns. At Pullman G, the detox juices beckon. There's a granola and yogurt bar with all the tiny fixings. Real muffins stuffed with good stuff. You feel like you've taken your body to the spa, just by eating breakfast.
EL SOL AZUL B&B, Las Galeras, Samana 50 Euros/night (dependent on season)
There's no reason to subject yourself to the oft-icky trappings of an all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic. Swiss owners, Esther and Pierre have been in the hospitality industry for 11 years. They have everything figured out and know exactly how to exceed guest expectations.
El Sol Azul is just 150m from the sea and minutes to the 'downtown' but tucked away in a pocket of serenity. The property is a showcase of tropical flowers and trees– crown of thorns, star fruit trees even! Pierre tends to them daily, usually with their lovely dog at his heels. There are two darling cats that live on the property too–and Caramel, loves to tease with her cute walk-by strut.
The thatched roof bungalow style suites are Robinson Crusoe-like, but, with all the amenities.
Breakfast is stellar. The spread is huge and European with fresh baguette, cheeses, local juices and punchy coffee. In addition to the continental fare, you can order eggs, any style and they come plated with ripe avocado and tomato.
The pinwheel of homemade jams really puts Esther's breakfast at the next level! I asked her for the coveted banana rum jam recipe–I don't even make jam, but, this will be the exception–it tastes exactly like banana bread in a jar.
2016's Nightmare Sleeps
Stone Church, Perth, ON $79/night (not incl. breakfast)
The historic Gothic stone church home advertised on Airbnb looked promising. However, if we could have smelled those photos, we would have avoided booking a night. We were the only guests, despite the odd presence of 18 toothbrushes in the cup in the bathroom. Kim's first comment was: "Ew. Keep your shoes on." Second comment, "We're definitely not showering here."
We arrived late after another house hunt in the area. (This was before we were aware of Jenny's place). The neighbours had Chubby Checker blasting as they sat in their yard just feet away. The house was a six feet away from Chubby Checker and five feet away from the major highway. We had already eaten, thank god—though the invite was there to make use of the 'shared kitchen.' I opened the cupboards looking for a beer glass and had a slight heave. I called Kim over—half the glasses had lipstick lips muddled around the lip of them.
The counter needed a good bleach and wipe. The fridge was so filthy and crumb-bound we didn't even want to put our beer inside.
We took seats at the kitchen table (avoiding any additional contact with any surface of the house) and looked at online real estate. There wasn't enough beer to inoculate us to sleep in such a dumpy cash grab Airbnb. We wondered if the sheets had even been laundered.
At 6am I awoked to Kim saying, "I'm ready to go when you are."
And so we did. I'm not sure if we even brushed our teeth on the way out. That might explain the abandoned toothbrush collection.
Sandbanks Lakefront Airbnb, Prince Edward County, ON $140/night
Since when did Airbnb mean you never had to clean your house? We were APPALLED upon arrival. The junk lying around the house alone (old speakers, gym equipment, tools, tarps—all in disarray and decomposing). In the back, we were invited to join the owners on their outdoor furniture that looked like old car seats. From those 'magical online photos' we expected an 'artist's retreat'—whimsical, with a cute cat and a tiny firepit right on the beach. Sunsets! And, breakfast even—which most Airbnb properties don't include. The room was small and a little dated with old-school paneling with a shared bathroom, but, we'd be taking advantage of the firepit and lake anyway.
Our house tour itinerary had us pulling in close to 8pm. We watched a couple carry their wailing newborn baby into the same house. We thought there was only one room in the entire home—not another greedy cash grab that had the owners bleeding money from offering ramshackle 70s shit hole rooms to unsuspecting guests—there were six of us jammed upstairs with walls as thin as a croissant flake. This was a cottage where NOTHING had ever been done in the form of upgrades. I might be making this up, but I'm pretty sure the toilet had one of those avocado green lid covers on it. With a matching pukey floor mat. The bathroom was straight out of 1962—the kind of place you want to put antibacterial gel on your hands and bum.
It was 100% gross, dark, mildewy and creepy. The couches sagged like tacos and looked like they were made out of cat litter. There were oil paintings and just weird things and weirder guests.
Kim and I retreated to the lakeshore after hosing our legs with Off! Spray. We avoided the communal kitchen and opted to heat up refried beans hobo style on our Coleman stove (handily packed in the back of the Rogue) and make sloppy burritos on the beach, in the dark. We graciously said no to offers to join the owners and their neighbours for drinks in the car seats. We waited patiently until they left so we could start a fire (only to be joined by two urbanites who had never built or seen a bonfire before).
The only saving grace was the sunset. The sunset cost $140, but, we'll take that.
You know, I really could go on in this scary segment from last minute middle-of-nowhere, we-have-no-other-choice Super 8's in Trenton (insert train blasting past every 40 minutes on the tracks just outside the door—oh, and the neighbour's AC unit that sounded like an elephant with asthma.
Belleville? Oh, there was a crappy one there. Popcorn ceilings, sink located outside the bathroom, squiggly hairs in the sheets and a carpet that was witness to someone's bender and barf.
And, so begins 2017. Though we love to sleep around, we can't wait to sleep in our very own bed (which is vertical in our storage pod in Ayr, Ontario), wherever and whenever that may be. Until then, home is where the barn is.

National Science Foundation is funding new research to better secure the nation's health information technology, simplify and improve control of security for cloud computing, and clarify an individual's privacy on the Web. The awards, made under the agency's Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace program, total $20 million and are supporting three initiatives, each shared among multiple universities.
The Trustworthy Health and Wellness project is a collaboration of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, and University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. The project aims to develop trusted information systems with the ability to support the sensitive and vital data transacted increasingly through cloud-based services and mobile devices.
These teams plan to study authentication and privacy tools, controls over medical devices, and methods to detect malware. The research is also expected to devise metrics to calculate trustworthiness in health information technology, as well as tools for auditing medical information systems and networks.
The cloud computing initiative combines the efforts of five universities — University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University in North Carolina, North Carolina State University, Stony Brook University in New York, and University of Wisconsin at Madison — with RSA Labs, a division of the cloud computing company EMC. The research expects to build better tools to deal with the intensified threats inherent in cloud computing and create new opportunities for cloud computing from improved security of its data and services.
The researchers in this project will investigate improving the unified authentication and authorization of cloud services, as well as better monitoring and auditing across various services. In addition, the project expects to devise better tools to diagnose security issues in the management of services, networks, data centers, and users. Another objective is to develop solutions for pervasive encryption for transactions with services outside as well as within the cloud.
A third initiative plans to devise a more meaningful Web privacy notice for individual users that combines the efforts of participants from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Fordham University in New York, and Stanford University in California. Most privacy policy notices on today's Web sites, say the researchers, are largely ignored by users, and many of those who try to read the notices do not understand them.
In this project, the researchers expect to develop systems that extract privacy policy elements from the largely boilerplate text and present the policies in more understandable language, so Web site visitors can make more informed privacy decisions when interacting with those sites. The teams aim to systematically collect and analyze Web site policy statements to identify trends and deficiencies in their wording.
NSF's Secure and Trustworthy Cyberspace program, now in its third year, came about as a result of a government-wide strategic plan in 2011 calling for more and better research and development to improve the security of U.S. information technology assets.

(Lanka-e-News - 19.March.2018, 9.00PM) The currently embattled president Maithripala Sirisena who has even forgotten country ' s history and his own and therefore best known as an epitome of ingratitude and also dubbed Sillysena once again proved he is in a flat spin by issuing a gazette notification that the emergency regulation which was brought into force by him on March 6 th on account of the Kandy racial turmoil , and was to last for ten days is invalid after 16 th midnight .
While it is common knowledge the state of emergency declared by him for ten days from March 6 th automatically ceases to be valid on the 16 th if it is not extended by parliament after the 16 th midnight , and a gazette notification additionally is not necessary to withdraw it , yet the president who is surrounded by buffoons calling themselves secretaries best known for tomfooleries had also not advised him duly. May we recall on the independence day celebrations too he committed an egregious blunder . He did not know how many years ago Sri Lanka received its independence.
The parliament adjourned sittings on the 9 th , and was to meet again on the 20 th. If the emergency regulations imposed on the 06 th by the president was in fact to be extended , that should have been done on the 9 th when the parliament met last . That was by a resolution brought in parliament by the ministry of defense under the president himself , and getting it passed. However nothing of that sort took place.
Though it was the motive of the president by withdrawing the emergency regulation by an unnecessary gazette notification to demonstrate that he is a 'great Democrat ' and score cheap political plus points as usual , in truth his hidden sinister motive was to pave the way for the release of the racists who were arrested in Kandy when the emergency regulations were in force.
From the very outset Lanka e news which frankly, fearlessly and forthrightly stands by and espouses the truth come what may pointed out that the president, his cronies and lackeys are behind this communal violence . This was amply borne testimony to when the president during the unrest took three notorious racist monks Ithekande Sadhatissa , Elle Gunawansa and Medagoda Abeyatissa along with him on the helicopter journey to Kandy, which too was revealed by us.
Any doubts harbored by anybody in regard to our reports were cleared when the president took Ulapone Sumangala the robed racist scoundrel together with Gnanassara the rascally monk who is behind all the racial violence to Japan . Sumangala is the same infamous monk who rescued another robed racist hooligan Gnanassara a dipsomaniac when he was produced in court for his criminalities . Sumangala arranged for Gnanassara to be released on bail in all three cases against Gnanassara on the same day . It is while these racial monks are openly disgracing pristine Buddhism, Lord Buddha and insulting the other true monks following the true teachings of Lord Buddha , the president who claims and proclaims he is a true Buddhist without any qualms enjoys the company of the rascally, rowdy racist monks even on his tour of Japan.
Now with the lifting of the emergency regulations (president issuing a redundant gazette notification), those who were held in custody under it and against whom investigations are being conducted will get the opportunity to get released .Therefore before the true masterminds and leaders behind this racial violence which has always proved dangerous and detrimental to the whole country are known the accused will get released since the subsequent investigations will have to be conducted under the ordinary laws.
President Sirisena who did not comply with the request of the United National Front during the cabinet reshuffle to entrust the law and order ministry to Sarath Fonseka (which the whole country earnestly anticipated) , instead handed it over to the prime minister temporarily , and stoked this racial violence in order to fasten the blame on the P.M. and vilify him. The diabolic design is very manifest in the backdrop of the desperate efforts made again to bring forth a no confidence motion against the P.M. by the president's UPFA faction enlisting the support of Rajapakse's alliance even before the flames of communal violence had died down.

ìThe girls showed marked improve-ment over the season and played well against some tough competition,î Coach Jackie Campbell said. ìThe girls worked hard at developing their skills and played well together as a team.î
One of the highlights of the season was the Minnewaska tournament. The team played six games and won four of the six. The two they lost were only by one point. This was with a group of only 10 players that day.
Coach Campbell thanks the team for their dedication and positive attitudes throughout the season. She also thanks the parents and fans for helping cheer on the team.
Team members were: Laura Haagenson, Peggy Thompson, Bridgette Johnson, Heather Hammond, Jessica Paul, Amy Roberg, Amanda Glenz, Stephanie Nosbush, Trisha Wendlandt, Alisa Schmidt, RaeAnn Knisley, Jessica Virant, and Julie Stockholm.
The girlís season ended with a banquet at Jimmyís where awards and certificates were presented.

We hope you weren't planning a big Dropbox sync this evening. The cloud storage service reports that it's having problems with its site following an issue with "routine internal maintenance." Just what that means isn't yet clear, although it's not believed to be an intrusion attempt. While Anonymous Korea and 1775 Sec claim to have hacked Dropbox, the company tells Engadget that the outage isn't the result of "external factors." That news won't be much consolation to those who still can't reach their online data, but it at least suggests that users won't have to worry about changing their passwords.
Update: Dropbox says that its site is back -- as expected, it adds that claims of a leak are a "hoax."
Update 2: A few days later, Dropbox has explained what happened. It was attempting to upgrade operating systems when a scripting bug reinstalled a number of active machines, bringing down Dropbox's service in the process. The company restored its core functionality within about three hours of the failure, but it took until Monday to get all its databases running smoothly. If this ever happens again, though, Dropbox will be prepared -- it built a tool that will let it recover much more quickly.

See What Great Things Chapters Are Doing:
NEA Support for SVEA Students and Chapters: ODU SVEA's "Ask a Future Educator" General Meeting
By Danielle Whitmire, ODU SVEA Secretary
On February 25th, 2016 the Old Dominion University Student Virginia Education Association (ODU SVEA) held a general meeting for their 292 members at the ODU Darden College of Education. However, this was no ordinary general meeting. Working with the Organizational Specialist for the National Education Association (NEA) Student Program, Michelle Foisy, the ODU SVEA organized and moderated an interactive discussion for its members during this innovative "Ask a Future Educator" themed general meeting. With this discussion, education students were able to address concerns they have about entering the teaching profession. Additionally, the ODU SVEA assisted the NEA in discovering more ways in which they can help support SVEA students and chapter development.
Students were asked, "What worries do you have about entering the education field?" and three different concerns were soon discovered. First, students shared how they are concerned about politics within the classroom and their role as political action advocates. When asked why they think this issue is so important, students offered the fact that they are aware of the extensive reach and authority politics have over everything they, as educators, aim to achieve within their classroom every day. Since they agreed that politicians, and their political decisions, directly influence schools and classrooms, students discussed ways in which they can continually educate themselves and become more involved in civic engagements.
The discussion evolved further as more members shared their specific concerns. One student and SVEA Member, Cat Slate, shared her interest in what happens after the initial first year of teaching is completed. So, members discussed ways in which they can be better prepared and find support for, not only the vital first year, but also for their subsequent years in the education profession. Another issue education students have is how to discover the right city, school, and job position for their future career. They explained how important it is for teachers to find the best fit for them since each school and district are distinct. Once these worries were voiced, students were posed with the question, "What can the NEA Student Program do for you?" Members replied with several suggestions. They asked for more professional development opportunities offered at differing times, and from that conversation, the possible institution of national webinars, or podcasts, was recommended. The ODU SVEA decided to create online polls to survey the best days and times suited for their members to engage in these and more professional development seminars. Another suggestion was given for an increase in statewide connections with other education associations. Utilizing technology and organizing mini regional conferences were discussed as potential ways to help satisfy this need for better communication between associations.
Coming to an agreement on the benefits of taking advantage of available technological resources led the discussion to consider how the NEA can use digital engagement. This type of engagement could aid in forming more connections with other student chapters and associations. In concluding the meeting, ODU SVEA members participated in completing a survey to help define, and institute more ways in which the NEA can further assist the student program, and the transition from student to educator. By communicating and collaborating with NEA Headquarters Staff, the ODU SVEA has created a sense of teamwork and improved communication on campus and within the NEA student program.
Advancing the Successes of Students & Future Educators: ODU SVEA S.T.E.M. Day '16
By Danielle Whitmire, ODU SVEA Secretary
On Saturday, February 20th, 2016 the Old Dominion University Student Virginia Education Association (ODU SVEA) brought 86 fourth and fifth graders from surrounding Norfolk public schools to campus to engage in hands-on activities involving science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for an educational S.T.E.M. Day. The goal of the day is to widen students' interests and help them gain a better understanding of S.T.E.M. content in a fun, interactive manner. Other goals include improving communication skills, building self-esteem through achievement, and instilling motivation for future college or trade school attendance.As a chapter of the National Education Association's (NEA) student program, the ODU SVEA works to improve the transition from students to educators by supporting student teachers with teacher quality, community outreach, and political action opportunities. The conception of S.T.E.M. Day began four years ago in conjunction with the NEA's "Communities Redefining Education Advocacy Through Empowerment" Grant. Every year since, the ODU SVEA has worked to enhance this event and its successful effects.
This year, the students participate in five sessions, including four S.T.E.M. activities and one campus tour, with university professors and assisting SVEA members. Students discovered the world's wonders through an interactive google maps lesson utilizing technology. By creating their own catapult, they also learned how to throw a perfect snowball by way of a fun, engineering project. For this project, pairs of students brainstormed and collaborated to create blueprints for their catapult, and they even had to stick to a budget! Another session named, "Leaping Frogs," allowed students to learn about the scientific force of motion and the aspects of potential, kinetic energy through the art of origami. Art was also included in a physical science lesson about the Additive Color Spectrum. Students used the famous artist, Andy Warhol's, technique to create their own masterpieces depicting celebrities like LeBron James, Taylor Swift, Barack Obama, Daniel Radcliffe, and Beyoncé. Through these lessons, the fourth and fifth graders discovered ways in which they are interested and skilled in S.T.E.M., and with the addition of art, S.T.E.A.M. fields. On the campus tour, students obtained a first-hand look at the life of a college student as they visited places like the student union building, the Webb Center, and the Perry Library. They even received the opportunity to talk with the ODU Engineering Department and interact with their competition vehicles. With this 2016 S.T.E.M. Day, the ODU SVEA achieved its goals and anticipated outcomes for student engagement, learning, and motivation. Each of these achievements will ultimately create a brighter future for the children in the community of Norfolk, Virginia.

Extraordinary Service: R-MC's SVEA Students Give Back
Shannon Mendonca '16, Rebecca Waldman '16, Hannah Pencook '16, Kylie Wash '15
Click here to check out the article posted on the Randolph-Macon College Website or read the article below!
The Randolph-Macon College chapter of the Student Virginia Education Association (SVEA) has been working hard this academic year to raise its profile on campus and to contribute in positive ways to the community.
The SVEA, an organization for future teachers, is the student branch of the National Education Association. At R-MC, the SVEA hopes to give future teachers opportunities to engage with and give back to the community as part of teacher preparation.
Commenting on the motivation behind the increased activity of SVEA, chapter President Rebecca Waldman '16 says, "Our hope is that people will know what we mean when we say 'SVEA' and that we will be better known on campus and in Ashland." Waldman is a psychology major and educationminor.
A Multi-faceted DriveTo that end, during the fall semester the SVEA led a multi-month, multi-faceted drive to collect donations for Ashland Christian Emergency Services (ACES), which provides relief to local Ashland families in need. The drive lasted from mid-October to early December in its different phases. "It was great to give back to the local community," says Vice President Sam Davis '16, an art history major and education minor.
This drive was three-pronged. First, the SVEA put out collection boxes on campus and accepted donations of toiletries. Second, the SVEA held a change drive in freshmen housing to raise money for more toiletry items.
SVEA Public Relations Coordinator Alyssa Bradley '17 says, "The change drive was very beneficial not only to our service project, but also in letting the campus know that we are an active organization."
The third part of the drive was done in partnership with John Gandy Elementary School (JGES). The Student Council Association at JGES, in partnership with R-MC's SVEA, led a jacket drive to collect coats for donation at ACES.
"We were very excited to partner with a local elementary school, and we are grateful for the help they gave us in reaching our goal," says psychology major and education minor Rachel Monkouski '16, SVEA treasurer.
Community PartnershipThe donation drives were very successful. The SVEA was able to donate 45 coats and jackets collected by JGES students, nearly $100 worth of toiletries with money collected from the change drive, and a large number of toiletry items. All of these items were donated to ACES. The SVEA is very grateful to John Gandy Elementary School for its partnership, and to the Randolph-Macon community for its support.
"SVEA has had an array of successful activities in the past year," says Education Professor Brenda Davis, chair of the Education Department. "The fall donation drive highlighted SVEA's commitment to the larger community and its mission of supporting teaching as a profession."
The R-MC Education DepartmentWith a strong tradition of preparing outstanding teachers, R-MC's education minor is a Virginia Department of Education approved educator preparation program and is accredited by the Teacher Education Accreditation Council. The teacher preparation program at R-MC creates reflective, passionate educators who are highly qualified in their content areas and in 21st-century teaching skills. Inspired by R-MC's own dedicated teaching faculty, our graduates bring to their own classrooms a commitment to children, youth, families and diversity.
With the first course in R-MC's teacher preparation program, students are in the community, working with real students and teachers in local school classrooms. R-MC education courses fully integrate classroom and experiential learning, opportunities for collaborative research, civic and global engagement, personalized guidance, and leadership development.
Randolph-Macon College SVEA Fall Semester Donation Drive
By: Hannah Pencook
Randolph-Macon College's chapter of the Student Virginia Education Association (SVEA) has been working hard this academic year to raise its profile on campus and to do good in the community, beginning in the holiday season of 2014.
On one of the motivating factors for the increased activity of SVEA, club President Rebecca Waldman said, "Our hope is that people will know what we mean when we say SVEA; that we will be better known on campus."
To that end, in the fall semester the SVEA led a multi-month, multi-faceted drive to collect donations for Ashland Christian Emergency Services (ACES), which provides relief to local Ashland families in need. The drive lasted from mid-October to early December in its different phases.
"It was great to give back to the local community," said Vice President Sam Davis.
This drive was three-pronged. Firstly, the SVEA put out collection boxes and accepted donations of toiletries on the R-MC campus. Secondly, the SVEA held a change drive in freshman housing to raise money for more toiletry items.
SVEA Public Relations coordinator Alyssa Bradley said, "I feel like the change drive was very beneficial not only to our service project, but also to letting the campus know that we are an active organization."
The third part of the drive was done in partnership with John Gandy Elementary School (JGES). The SCA at JGES, in partnership with RMC SVEA, led a jacket drive to collect coats for donation at ACES.
"We were very excited to be partnering with a local elementary school, and we are grateful for all the help they gave us in reaching our goal," said Rachel Monkouski, SVEA treasurer.
These donation drives were very successful. The SVEA was able to donate 45 coats and jackets collected by JGES students, nearly $100 worth of toiletries with money collected from the change drive, and a large number of toiletry items including soap, hair care products, razors, deodorant, and feminine hygiene products. All of these products were donated to ACES in early December.
The SVEA is very grateful to John Gandy Elementary School for its partnership, and to the Randolph-Macon community for its support.
The SVEA is an organization for future teachers, the student branch of the National Education Association. Here at R-MC, the SVEA hopes to give future teachers opportunities to engage with and give back to the local community as part of teacher preparation.
ODU Holiday Service Committee
SVEA members from Old Dominion University conducted a community service event at Elephant's Fork Elementary where they read a story to each of the first grade classrooms, donated the book to each first grader, and also raised money to donate hats, coats and gloves to five students. Way to go ODU! Check out this video that explains their project in further detail:

But one thing puzzles me.
Here's a map I saw today of all the Science Marches announced to date:
|Science Marches (map by Doug Duffy)
I made a mental comparison with a different version of the world map that I've been studying intently in recent months:
|Vote on resolution to negotiate a ban on nuclear weapons in 2017 (L-41)
Green - Yes (123, 76%)
Red - No (38, 24%)
Beige - Abstained
(see Who would possibly vote "NO" to banning nuclear weapons???)
What I notice when I compare these two maps is that the key countries who voted NO to negotiations at the UN to ban nuclear weapons in 2017 are the same countries exhibiting great enthusiasm about April 22 Science Marches -- the US, Canada, Australia, and the EU countries.
Now, there is no doubt in my mind that the people who have the most insight about the devastating consequences of nuclear weapons -- and can best grasp the nature of the risk involved -- are trained scientists.
How can it be that the countries that are so rich in scientific spirit are the same ones obstructing the effort to get rid of nuclear weapons?
So here's my question to all the scientists: will you cause your governments to hear and heed your voices in time for them to come out from under the nuclear shadow and into the light of a world free from the danger of nuclear catastrophe?
. . . on the scientists at the Chicago Metallurgical Laboratory (the "Met Lab") who spoke up too late.
. . . how International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) put influenced Gorbachev on nuclear disarmament.
How to get involved in the nuclear ban campaign.

Oh what a lovely view.
Oh what a lovely view.
That's another of my pet niggles. :)
But probably still not as much as the average supermarket throws away on a daily basis. ;)
I bet it's back to normal the next day. I can't help but think what a waste of tomatoes. :D
OMG MD ... that festival is so crazy! I wonder how long the cleanup takes afterwards?
This is a beautiful view.
Looks a bit cloudy but there will be plenty of colour, mainly red. Today is the annual tomato throwing festival:

Flappy Bird, which took the world by storm and caused most to rejoice when it was eventually pulled from circulation, is coming back. The game's creator has vowed it will return at some point in the near future, replete with a multiplayer mode.
The creator of Flappy Bird initially pulled the game because he felt it was too addictive. At one point, it was said he raked in over $50,000 weekly from the title, which — like everything else about Flappy Bird — caused him consternation. Now he's not only giving it to us one more time, but it's version 2.0.
Several memes and GIFs depicted a multiplayer mode for the game, so I'll go ahead and blame those people for sparking this return. I'll also blame the people that liked those various mediums, or anyone that played the game at all (I played it once to write this, I admit it. I'm not proud of myself.). I'm just going to go ahead and blame everyone, everywhere. Shame on
you us.
The game, which drove people nuts with its simple graphics and intensely difficult gameplay, is coming back to us in August. Check your Mayan calendars, because this likely signals something drastic. We've only a few months to prepare ourselves.
One question remains, though: how do those people who bought phones at a premium price because Flappy Bird was installed feel now?

DVD/NAPA: Anthropologists at Work: Careers Making a Difference © 1993
What does an anthropologist do? Popular images contribute to our understanding of anthropologists excavating ancient ruins and studying small, remote tribes in foreign lands. Yet these images are but a glimpse of the type of careers that now range across the spectrum of humanity -- exploring the physical and cultural realities of all human populations. In fact, nearly one third of new Ph.D. anthropologists and the majority of new M.A. graduates find employment outside of academia.
Anthropologists at Work captures anthropologists working at home and abroad in diverse settings: from government and human services to manufacturing and retail industries; conducting research; implementing policy; teaching and providing expertise in the areas of health, development, education and the corporate world! Running Time: 40 minutes

Ashtanga Yoga is a systematic practice of yoga that follows fixed series of asanas, or postures, and is characterised by 'vinyasa'. This is a sequence of asanas, practiced in time with the breath which support the main asana. Students develop great awareness and control over the breath, body and mind through regular focussed practice.
Mysore-style classes are suitable for everyone, from complete beginner to experienced practitioner, as each student goes at their own pace according to experience and ability. The teacher will assist each person individually, and the focus is on developing the student's own practice.
Practice combines movement and breathing with asana to promote mindfulness and good health in the practitioner.
Regular practice, through the physical exercise and breathing control reduces stress and positively effects heart rate and blood pressure.
Yoga is tied with the traditional beliefs and spirituality of India. A student may choose to delve deeply into this aspect or simply enjoy feeling and effects of a good practice.

Why the Bakken Boomed
A Williston Basin Primer
In my previous article Addressing the World's Flare Gas Problem, I discussed my current project, which recently took me to the Williston Basin in North Dakota and Montana. Today, I will discuss the region's shale oil boom in greater detail. In Part 3 of this series, I will conclude by delving into the economics of shale oil production.
The Williston Basin underlies parts of North and South Dakota, Montana, southern Saskatchewan, and southwestern Manitoba. Within the Williston Basin is the Bakken Formation, which first produced oil over 60 years ago. It was on North Dakota farmer Henry Bakken's farm in 1953 that Amerada Petroleum — later acquired by Hess (NYSE: HES) — discovered oil at a depth of about 10,000 feet. The Bakken Formation is to date the source of most of North Dakota's rapid oil production growth, but underneath the Bakken Formation is the Three Forks Formation, which has also begun to produce oil:

Addressing the World's Flare Gas Problem
Status Update
I don't generally use this column to discuss the projects that I am working on. In fact, it's been more than 2 years since I did. But I often get inquiries about where I am and what I am doing, so in today's column I thought I would update readers who may be interested.
Since I graduated from Texas A&M in 1995 with my master's degree in chemical engineering, I have worked for 5 companies in 10 different locations — including 3 foreign countries. Most of my work has been on energy projects. I am not going to run through my entire career here, but I will explain what brought me to my current job. If you want a full accounting, please refer to my CV.
From 2009 to 2014, I worked for a company in Hawaii called Merica International. Merica was essentially a holding company for a German entrepreneur who lived in Hawaii and invested in energy companies and technologies. Most of the published biographies for me still list Merica as my employer. In my role as Chief Technology Officer for Merica, I had the responsibility for conducting due diligence and making investment recommendations. When I joined the company, one of the major holdings was the German company Choren, which produced diesel from biomass. I first wrote about Choren back in 2008 before joining Merica. Long story short, as is often the case with new technology, startup issues dragged on and on and we finally made the decision to shut the plant down. I documented the timeline for these events in What Happened at Choren? CONTINUE»
Revival in Oil and Gas Production and the Spaces In Between
Favorable Economics, the Permian, and Choices
In July, I wrote about the ramped up activity in the Permian Basin. The point of that story was to merely observe and document that period of time in the Basin. In the data offered over the course of several articles, the conclusion was clear: the U.S. is in the early period of another boom from U.S. production of oil, and Texas is largely the zone for the majority of the production capacity. While the Bakken Shale and the Eagle Ford receive numerous well-deserved headlines, exploration and production (E&P) firms were busy making new history in the Permian Basin.
The largest producer in the Permian Basin is Occidental Petroleum, also known as Oxy. This also makes the firm the largest producer in Texas. Pioneer Natural Resources, Apache and Kinder Morgan Production follow behind Oxy in Permian Basin production for 2012. According to the Energy Information Agency, in 2012 the U.S. imported approximately 10.6 million barrels of crude oil per day. The ratings agency Moody's recently made an announcement about the impact of the "Permian revival" on exploration and production (E&P) firms. In their communication, they mention producers speculate that the full development of the Wolfcamp Shale could result in 2 million barrels a day — more than the 1970s peak for the entire basin. That is nearly 20% of U.S. daily imports. When might that happen? Hard to say.
Protecting a Drowning Man from Sunburn
Later this week I intend to start a series covering the recently released BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2013. However, first I want to follow up on last week's post The Increasing Irrelevance of the Keystone XL Debate. With few exceptions, the post was well-received by people on both sides of the debate. There was some reasonable debate on the post on my Twitter feed, and much less rancor. I think only one person accused me of being an "enemy combatant" while most recognized that I am sincerely trying to shine a light on a problem that I see as orders of magnitude worse than Keystone XL.
The primary objection to my argument over the irrelevancy of Keystone XL is the same one that has been voiced in the past. It is that the Keystone XL project itself may be relatively insignificant, but add up many Keystone XL projects and you get a big effect. The only problem is that this really isn't even true.
In last week's article I referenced a 2012 paper by Neil C. Swart and Andrew J. Weaver from the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences, University of Victoria published in Nature Climate Change. That paper contained a graphic that I shared on Twitter, and it got quite a bit of commentary. The graphic shows the relative potential warming contributions of various fossil fuel resources:
The Increasing Irrelevance of the Keystone XL Debate
Keystone XL's Insignificant Contribution to Climate
Last week President Obama unveiled a new plan to combat climate change in a speech at Georgetown University. While there is generally broad consensus that his comments further threaten the already battered US coal industry, his comments on TransCanada's (TSX: TRP, NYSE: TRP) Keystone XL pipeline project had pundits guessing at his meaning. Here is what the President said in his speech about Keystone XL:
Now, I know there's been, for example, a lot of controversy surrounding the proposal to build a pipeline, the Keystone pipeline, that would carry oil from Canadian tar sands down to refineries in the Gulf. And the State Department is going through the final stages of evaluating the proposal. That's how it's always been done. But I do want to be clear: Allowing the Keystone pipeline to be built requires a finding that doing so would be in our nation's interest. And our national interest will be served only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution. The net effects of the pipeline's impact on our climate will be absolutely critical to determining whether this project is allowed to go forward. It's relevant.
The reason that there have been widely differing views on the President's intentions boils down to his use of the phrase "only if this project does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution." The State Department's Draft Supplementary Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) for the Keystone XL Pipeline project already concluded that approval of the project would have little impact on global carbon dioxide emissions or on the development of the oil sands because of their view that the oil will get to market one way or another. More on that below. CONTINUE»
Estimate for Williston Basin Oil Resources is Doubled
Last week the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provided an update of oil and gas resources in the Bakken region. This was their first update since a 2008 report that estimated mean undiscovered volumes of 3.65 billion barrels of oil and 1.85 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the region. The new estimate includes the Three Forks formation which largely lies underneath the Bakken in the Williston Basin that sprawls across North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and southern Saskatchewan.
(Related: The Energy Industry's Production Challenge: 100 Million Barrels Per Day)
The new USGS assessment stated that the Three Forks formation had not been previously assessed, but that an assessment was warranted based on a rise in drilling and production in the formation. Inclusion of the Three Forks formation added an estimated mean resource of 3.73 billion barrels of oil to the estimated 3.65 billion barrels of oil in the Bakken formation for a total estimated resource of 7.4 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil in the two formations. The two formations were also estimated to contain a mean of 6.7 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas and 0.53 billion barrels of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas liquids (NGLs). CONTINUE»
The Effect of New Production Methods on U.S Oil Output
Since 2005, the "total oil supply" for the United States as reported by the Energy Information Administration increased by 2.2 million barrels per day. Of this, 1.3 mb/d, or 60%, has come from natural gas liquids and biofuels, which really shouldn't be added to conventional crude production for purposes of calculating the available supply. Of the 800,000 b/d increase in actual field production of crude oil, almost all of the gain has come from shale and other tight formations that horizontal fracturing methods have only recently opened up. Here I offer some thoughts on how these new production methods change the overall outlook for U.S. oil production.
Let me begin by clarifying that "shale oil" and "oil shale" refer to two completely different resources. "Oil shale" is in fact not shale and does not contain oil, but is instead a rock that at great monetary and environmental cost can yield organic compounds that could eventually be made into oil. Although some people have long been optimistic about the potential amount of energy available in U.S. oil-shale deposits, I personally am pessimistic that oil shale will ever be a significant energy source.
Setting the Record Straight on U.S. Oil Reserves
The Difference Between Oil Shale and Oil from Shale Formations
There has been some confusion lately about the overall extent of U.S. oil reserves. Some claim that the U.S. has hundreds of billions or even trillions of barrels of oil waiting to be produced if the Obama Administration will simply stop blocking development. So, I thought it might be a good idea to elaborate somewhat on the issue.
Oil production has been increasing in the U.S., primarily driven by expanding production from the Bakken Shale Formation in North Dakota and the Eagle Ford Shale in Texas. The oil that is being produced from these shale formations is sometimes improperly referred to as shale oil. When politicians speak of hundreds of billions or trillions of barrels of U.S. oil, they are most likely talking about the oil shale in the Green River Formation in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Some have assumed that since we are accessing the shale in North Dakota and Texas, the Green River Formation and its roughly 2 trillion barrels of oil resources will be developed next. But these are very different types of resources. CONTINUE»
Wealth Creation: Playing the Crude Oil Spreads
Here's my suggestion for how to become rich: buy low and sell high.
It's a strategy that works for individuals, and can work for the entire nation as well. If you can figure out a way to find resources whose value in their current use is not very great– in other words, if you buy low– and redeploy them somewhere else where their value is much greater– in other words, sell high– then you will not only add to your personal wealth, you will be creating new wealth for society as a whole. The process of allocating resources to their most efficient use is the heart of what drives economic growth. The fact that individuals have a strong personal incentive always to be looking for better ways to do that is the primary factor responsible for the standard of living that we enjoy today.
Let me give a concrete example of what I'm talking about. On Friday, you could buy a barrel of light, sweet crude oil produced in North Dakota for less than $81. On that same day, oil refiners in Port Arthur on the coast of Texas were paying around $110 to import a similar grade of oil produced in Nigeria. That's $30 worth of incentive to you to try to figure out a way to transport oil from North Dakota to Port Arthur in order to replace a barrel of imported Nigerian oil with Williston sweet. As a nation, if we could divert some of the resources we are currently devoting to pay for oil imported from Nigeria, and use them instead to enable the Port Arthur refinery to get its oil from North Dakota, we will become richer.
Buy low, sell high.
So there's a very concrete mission. How can you go about implementing it?

HTC Evo View 4G to Feature Android 3.0 Honeycomb; Sprint Lists Device
Hope you remember, you had earlier been told that the HTC Evo View 4G tablet will be an Android 2.3 -powered device. It's time to think again. The new list of products now displayed on Sprint's website shows that the tablet will be running Android 3.0 Honeycomb.
As we all know, Android 2.3 is that kind of version which is not really optimized for tablets. We know you were a bit disappointed when you were earlier told that the tablet would be carrying this version – as it was announced at CTIA earlier this year.
Evo View 4G, the sibling of HTC Flyer, but with 4G bands add-on don't have an area to hold the Scribe stylus but has a dedicated Pen button that enables to open up a note-taking application in just one hit.
Though no official word on the change in OS version has been made public as yet, we assume that the manufacturer actually has listened to customer feedback and understood the general resentment. This, it seems, has led to the change in the Android version.
Accommodating the Honeycomb will definitely add to the remarkable specs of the tablet, where running the Android 2.3 has been its only known drawback. We really wish the news to be true. Follow this link to go to the Sprint page.

Come spring the whole of the Indian sub-continent is drowned in beautiful colors whether it is color spread by the beautiful flowers blooming in the fields or the enthusiastic festival of rainbow colors' H oli'.
Holi marks the end of the winter season in India. It is celebrated with great zest in the month of 'Phalgun' on full moon day as per the Hindu calendar.
The New Year has arrived with its kitty full of festivals and events. Holi 2019 is here as the first major Hindu festival. This year, the festival falls on Thursday, March 21. It is one of the most awaited fetes of India. From children to adults all enjoy this occasion of colors. Holi is the festival of color and inspirations. It talks about the victory of good over evil by the customary event of Holika burning.
The festive spirits are high during the festival of colors. Markets overflow with various hues of 'Gulal' and water color used in the water balloons. Water guns also known as 'Pichkari' , of unique and innovative designs can be found in the market ready to lure the children . Women do early preparations for the Holi by cooking scrumptious gujiya, mathri, paparis, etc. for family and friends.
Holi is associated with several mythologies from all parts of India. The most widespread legend is of the demon King Hiranyakashyap and his son Prahalad. According to the legend Hiranyakashyap , who considered himself as God, wanted everybody to worship him. However, His own son, much against the king's wishes, worshipped Lord Vishnu. Holika, Hiranyakashyap's sister, was then asked by the demon king to kill prahlad As she had a blessing that she could enter fire unharmed, she plan ned to sit on the pyre with prahlad in her lap and get rid of the boy. When she executed her plan, prahlad came out unscathed from fire and Holika died paying a price for her evil connievance with her brother. Since then on the eve of holi ,people light bonfire and celebrate this festival as a symbol of victory of good over evil.
Another legend associated with Holi is about an ogress, Dhundi, who used to bother kids. She was banished by children on the day of holi , hence, kids play a lot of gags on 'holi'.

The Easter Bunny is gearing up for another great season. How tired he must be. I wondered how far back this Easter Basket tradition went. Easter basket to kids dates back to 1682 in Georg Franck von Frankenau's De ovis paschal bus (About Easter Eggs). That is a long time but I thought it would have been even longer.
For me, I love this tradition and nothing is more fun than watching my kids hunt for Easter eggs Easter morning. One thing that is a little crazy is the Easter baskets for sale at your local supermarket and such. One of my children received one and the amount of tape on it made it a challenge to free the candy and cheap plastic gifts.
Easter baskets are fun to give and make for friends and family. Everything is so colorful. Just search for favorite candy items and a small meaningful gift to add and they will love it!
If you are pressed for time or just don't like to put things together we have an abundance of gifts and Easter baskets that will be perfect. We can also customize to include that favorite Easter candy item.
Hop on over and check us out!
Wishing you Many Gifts & Blessings,

You can make this two ways, depending on the ingredients you have.
* Elmers Glue
* liquid starch
Just mix equal parts of each and mix it together, it will quickly start forming the gak.
* Elmers Glue
*Borax (detergent)
I think you only need a couple TBSP of Borax for this, but just add about 1 TBSP at a time into the glue until it starts to form. Kids love to play with it - stretch it, snap it, let it hang and slide between your fingers, it's just so much fun!

Total Go Whey Protein Review | The Best Protein Powders
Total Go Whey Protein is one of the few organic, cage free, grass fed protein powders on the market, and trust us, all those premiums come at a price. While the nutrition facts are pretty impressive, there are many other protein powders that can offer you the quality amino acids you need to grow strong, without breaking your bank. You can find the best whey protein powders, on this list of Top 10 Best Protein Powder Supplements.
Benefits of Total Go Whey Protein
Here are the primary benefits you might be able to experience taking Total Go Whey Protein:
- Completely organic
- Lean muscle growth
- Reduced fat
- Quicker recovery time
What is Total Go Whey Protein?
Total Go Whey Protein is one of the few whey protein powders that states they are all natural, gluten free, gmo free organic, and has no added sugars or carbs. It also makes the claim that it can act as a meal replacement shake as well. Total Go Whey Protein comes in many different flavors like, Vanilla Cream, Chocolate Cream, Strawberry, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Mint Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, Banana, Orange, Coconut, Exotic Cinnamon and Fresh Brewed Coffee.
How Does Total Go Whey Protein Work?
Total Go Whey Protein works by utilizing organic and all natural ingredients, combined with a whey protein blend that can help your muscles get the amino acids they need, when they need them. The protein sources that all protein powders use are easy for your body to digest, in order for you to see quick results from your endless hours in the gym.
Total Go Whey Protein Ingredients
Protein Blend: The protein blend can make or make a protein supplement. Since you're obviously looking for the best protein powders, it's important to know the differences between the many sources of protein out there. The most important thing to remember is that whey protein powders are the best out there. The reason behind this fact is because they are the easiest for your body to digest and the most abundant in amino acids that can help your muscles grow effectively.
Now, whey protein powder is still kind of a general term. There are three different types of whey protein. From best to worst, it goes whey protein hydrolysate, whey protein isolate, and whey protein concentrate. The reason whey protein hydrolysate is the best option out of the three is because it undergoes a process known as hydrolysis. This process makes it much easier for your body to digest. Whey protein concentrate isn't a bad option when comparing it to the other non-whey protein sources on the market, but is the worst and cheapest option out of the three.
Branched Chained Amino Acids: Protein shakes are a great thing to take before or after a workout, but branched chained amino acids are a great thing to take during your workout. Branched chained amino acids occur naturally incomplete proteins, and can help heavily reduce your recovery time. In addition to that, they can also help provide you with more energy to get you through a difficult set.
Some protein powders utilize additional BCAA's, but this is often unnecessary when they are using a high-quality protein source. Protein companies that utilize cheaper sources of protein often add them to compensate. Unfortunately, some companies use branched chained amino acids in order to trick customers into thinking that their protein powders are better.
In order to determine how much protein there is in a protein powder, the company puts it through something known as a nitrogen test. The nitrogen test is responsible for determining how much protein there is per serving, by counting the amount of nitrogen in the blend. Now, sketchy protein companies utilize something known as nitrogen spiking. Nitrogen spiking is when they add branched chained amino acids before they conduct the nitrogen test. This causes the test to read that there is much more protein then what was originally stated. While branched chained amino acids do contain nitrogen, they don't contain all the same benefits as a complete protein.
Nutritional Information: In one serving of Total Go Whey Protein, you can expect to see:
- Calories: 117
- Total Fats: 1.7 g
- Cholesterol: 45.0 mg
- Sodium: 48.0 mg
- Total Carbohydrates: 2.1 g
- Protein: 24 g
- Calcium: 117.0 mg
- Phosphorous: 96.0 mg
- Magnesium: 18.0 mg
These are pretty standard nutrition facts, the calories are on the lower side which is a good thing, but overall, pretty average.
The Pros
- Zero colors
- Zero added sugars
- Organic
The Cons
- Could use a better protein blend
- There could be more protein per serving
- Kind of misleading label
Total Go Whey Protein Conclusion
The bottom line is, while Total Go Whey Protein claims to have zero added sugars, carbs, and fats, it does not actually have zero quantities of all these things. This can be kind of misleading for some consumers. In addition to that, they use whey protein concentrate, which is not the best protein sources you can use. For the best whey protein powders, check out this list of Top 10 Best Protein Powder Supplements of 2018.

We say this because it's one of the most basic things that many record labels and artist fail to do. If you consistently release music, that is 1-2 releases of 2-3+ tracks a month, then you will progressively build a fan base and potentially get a DSP's attention. With this attention you are in much easier position to get featured.
