Q: Word Problem for Number of Seeds Required with Diminishing Returns So I've been trying to wrap my brain around this but it eludes me. The word problem would look something like this:
What is the minimum amount of seeds I need to buy to plant 850 seeds when only 60% of these planted seeds will produce a seed of their own. I can continue planting over and over until I reach my last seed.
I am looking for a formula I can use and plug into Excel - but a mathematical equation would be just great!
Thanks

A: You are just summing a geometric series.  If you start with $n$ the next generation gives you $0.6n$, the one after that gives $0.6^2n$, then $0.6^3n$ so you want $$850=n(1+0.6+0.6^2+0.6^3+\ldots )=\frac n{1-0.6}\cdot 850\\n=0.4\cdot 850=340 $$

A: 1 seed grows 2.5 seeds on average, so divide 850 by 2.5 and you have your answer.
You can use infinite geometric series formula to find expected number of seeds for 1 seed.

Der Naturforscher ( "The Naturalist") was a German scientific publication of the Enlightenment devoted to natural history. It was published yearly from 1774 to 1804, by J. J. Gebauers Witwe and Joh. Jac. Gebauer at Halle and edited first by Johann Ernst Immanuel Walch (from 1774 to 1778) and later by Johann Christian Daniel von Schreber (from 1779 to 1802). Both editors were also contributors. Most of the articles concern aspects of invertebrate zoology, mostly entomology and conchology. A few concern ornithology and other subjects, including mineralogy.

It is usually bound in fifteen volumes octavo. Indices and registers are given at ten year intervals enumerating 640 memoirs. Just over 150 plates accompany the text. Many of the illustrations are by Johann Stephan Capieux and are of a very high standard.  Armin Geus provides comprehensive indices.

Contributors
Most authors contributing to Der Naturforscher were German, but the journal also included some French authors. No natural history journal published in France existed at the time.
Amongst others, some notable naturalists contributing to Der Naturforscher were:
Johann August Ephraim Goeze
Theodor Gottlieb von Scheven
Josef Aloys Frölich
Nikolaus Joseph Brahm
Eugen Johann Christoph Esper
Johann Kaspar Füssli
Johann Friedrich Gmelin
Siegmund Adrian von Rottemburg
Jean Baptiste Louis d'Audibert de Férussac
Johann Matthäus Bechstein
Friedrich Christian Meuschen
Georg Wolfgang Franz Panzer
Johann Hermann
Franz von Paula Schrank
Johann Dominikus Schultze
Johann Beckmann
Justus Christian Loder
Charles De Geer
Johann Christoph Meineken (1722 -1790) Mineralogy
Christoph Gottlieb von Murr as C. G. von M

Impact
Claus Nissen described Der Naturforscher as "the most important 18th century German periodical for the descriptive natural sciences". Its taxonomic significance is considerable in entomology and conchology. Although many of the new species described here were subsequently considered junior synonyms, others remain valid.

Some of the valid species first described in Der Naturforscher are several well-known European Lepidoptera: Lysandra bellargus (Rottemburg, 1775), Polyommatus icarus (Rottemburg, 1775), Zygaena lonicerae (Scheven, 1777), Paranthrene tabaniformis (Rottemburg, 1775) and Hyles gallii (Rottemburg, 1775). Valid taxa in phylum Mollusca include Turbo canaliculatus Hermann, 1781, Spondylus americanus Hermann, 1781, Modiolarca impacta (Hermann, 1782) and Semilimax semilimax (J. Férussac, 1802).

Although most ornithology articles are general or faunal lists, an exception exists in the first description of the wood warbler, Phylloscopus sibilatrix (Bechstein, 1793).

Some exotic taxa were also first described in Der Naturforscher, including the fish species Sternoptyx diaphana Hermann, 1781 and the Indomalayan butterfly Euploea phaenareta (Schaller, 1785).

There are several key reasons to visit Kamakura Fushikian, with the first and most obvious one being that it's tucked away in a light, bright and calm warehouse-style food market in Akihabara, which means respite from the chaos outside. As you walk into the market, you'll find this vegan restaurant in a corner to your right (reason number two: it's vegan – not easy to find in Akihabara).
Before taking up a seat at one of the small wooden tables, step up to the counter and choose between two set meals (¥980 and ¥1,530) listed in English. Aside from size, the two meals are basically the same, both offering small portions of the different dishes available on the day, which are on display at the counter, along with rice and miso soup. Reason number three: the white rice can be 'upgraded' to brown rice for ¥150 and you can get a free top up of miso soup and rice if you're still hungry (but you probably won't be, the meal is very filling).
Reason number four: the food you'll be eating is called shojin-ryori, which is the cuisine traditionally eaten by Buddhist monks and eschews meat, onion, garlic and other root vegetables. It's very unusual to be able to find this kind of food other than at temples and the quality on offer here is superb. They also have vegetarian 'sweets', and when we asked what kind of tea they had, we were very surprised to hear they serve rooibos, a caffeine-free tea from South Africa.
The easiest way to find Kamakura Fushikian is to take the Electric City exit (Yamanote line) from the station and look for the UDX building. Walk towards this building next to the train tracks and you'll pass AKB48 and Gundam cafés. Spot the white signboard that says 'Chabara', the name of the food market, and you've arrived.

A Page from the Amazon Playbook: 3 Ways to Embrace the "Tech Company" Ethos as a Retailer

It is a constant and often repeated maxim – the key to Amazon's success lies in the fact that the online giant behaves more like a tech company than a retailer. This goes much beyond the fact that AWS contributes a tremendous amount of cash to their bottom line. It's a mindset and a ethos that drives every decision and strategy.

Social Selling No Longer for Just Social Media
By Radius8 on Aug 10, 2017 4:48:32 PM
There is no denying that Social Media dominates the digital attention of today's customers- 81% of Americans visit some form of social media daily. This captive audience presents a tremendous opportunity to turn 'like' moments into 'buy' moments. As a result, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter have all rolled out some form of buyable posts, pins, grams, and various other shopping opportunities directly in user's social feeds. While Facebook and Instagram appear to be having some success in this realm, Pinterest has struggled with their shopping platform and Twitter outright abandoned their efforts. Social shopping presents a unique challenge in striking the right balance of social and shopping to make the experience feel natural.

For Retail, March Comes in Like a Lion
By Radius8 on Mar 9, 2017 12:00:00 AM
The old adage that March "comes in like a lion, and out like a lamb" may not be holding true for the unseasonably warm weather we've been experienced so far this month, but for some retailers, the month of March has been unseasonably harsh.
Department Stores and Off-price: What it Means for Brick and Mortar Retail
Initially, seeing that JC Penny announced that it would be closing 140 stores this year, one might conclude that the same story as we've seen with the likes of Macy's and Sears — cut stores for temporary cost savings with no well-defined future strategy. In contrast, JC Penny made the announcement on the heels of strong sales following the holiday shopping season where investment in experiences like the "store within-store" Sephora and home sections drove sales growth. Per Penny's statement, closing these 140 stores will free up resources to double down on the brick and mortar experience in the remaining fleet.
What Does Omnichannel Mean in 2017?
By Radius8 on Feb 23, 2017 12:00:00 AM
Omnichannel…ask any retailer or solution provider and it must rank near the top of the list of retail's most overused buzzwords. What does omnichannel mean in the year 2017?
It has been declared dead by some. Others say that retail has moved on to bigger and better things. Still others have simply decided the name omnichannel no longer suits them instead, using "distributed commerce," "all-channel," or other just as vague but not quite as overused terms.
Pioneering Start-up Retailer Struggles, Aims to Cut Costs but Lacks Plan to Grow Sales
A start-up retailer, founded on selling just one product category, rapidly gains traction by delivering the product to your door faster and more efficiently than any of its contemporaries. They do all of this while providing better prices, a higher level of customer service, and greater convenience than your local brick and mortar stores.
Taking the Pulse: Retail 2017
By Radius8 on Feb 7, 2017 12:00:00 AM
We're just over a month into 2017, a year that many, including myself, have slated to be a transformative
year for retail. While many retailers are likely to prosper, many will struggle, with department stores identified as a segment facing adversity this year by Moody's. The shake up across retail has already started. We saw these major shake ups already in just the past month:

The Digital Portal which was launched by Colombia's President Santos on 16 March 2018 allows citizens to track implementation of the Global Goals at the national and subnational levels in Colombia. The project is being implemented together with Colombia's Department of National Planning (DNP) and its National Statistics Authority (DANE). The project is funded by Sida through the Swedish Embassy in Bogota.
Data Act Lab is developing together with the National Planning Department of Colombia, and Colombia's National Statistics Agency (DANE) a country owned electronic portal to track implementation of the Global Goals in Colombia.
The digital portal allows all actors to drill into the data at national and subnational levels in Colombia, access SDG data availability scorecards as well as learn about Colombia's Agenda 2030 process. The portal contains data on 156 indicators across all 17 Global Goals. Targets have been set for all indicators where Colombia wants to be by 2030. In the second phase we will actively work on its expansion, impact and richness to include deeper and richer data (if possible include non-traditional sources of data such as big data, satelite data, etc.). The project is supported by the Swedish Government (Sida).
The interactive Digital Portal presents the results of Colombia's Agenda 2030 process and reporting framework. It contains several interactive tools to explore the data, learn about data gaps and Colombia's Agenda 2030 process.
Allows you to tell stories with the data or include qualitative pages on challenges and opportunities around a specific goal/policy area. Visualize what policies are in place to address needs and what actions are being taken to meet goals and targets.
This tool allows you to get insights into the data via maps, bar charts and line graphs. Track performance at district or city level, broken down by gender and age. Is the country meeting its targets for 2030? Who is being left behind?
What data is available and not? The tool allows you to explore the availability of data and see where the data gaps are.
This section allows you to explore and learn about Agenda 2030 in Colombia. Navigate through Colombia's timeline and various resources about Agenda 2030.
Allows you to assess how your district compares to others. Which districts are advancing the fastest and who is left behind? Shows what policies are in place at district level to address the needs.

Where Have All The Protests Gone?
By David Segal
NEW YORK - A brief survey of current events:
The stock market has gone nuts, and the federal government is treating Wall Street with experimental cures that will cost nearly $1 trillion. An unpopular foreign war, now in its sixth year, has resulted in more than 4,100 American deaths. For the first time in history, the presidential campaign includes an African American candidate for president and a Republican female candidate for vice president.
Taken together, these data points give this moment in American history a once-in-a-great-while feel of Something Large. But if this is truly a pivot in time, its most peculiar feature may be how un-peculiar it feels. For all the social and political upheaval, for all the 60-point headlines and for all the bipartisan calls for change, there is plenty of unease -- but a very notable lack of unrest.
It's as though the gods of turmoil threw a party and nobody came. When was the last time you saw a street protest? Or a burning effigy? Or a teach-in? Or a boycott? It's kind of odd: We have the sense that this is an emergency, but open the window and give a listen. There aren't any sirens.
How come?
Washington Square Park, near Greenwich Village, seemed like a good place to pose that question. Forty years ago, this was one of the city's counterculture epicenters, a frequent site of protests and rallies and as close to an open-air drug market as one could find downtown. If you had been near the south entrance at 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 4, 1968, you would have witnessed a spectacle: New York University students shouting obscenities at Ambassador Nguyen Huu Chi, South Vietnam's permanent observer to the United Nations, who had come to lecture at the nearby Loeb Center. A Nazi flag was tossed around his neck, and then someone poured a pitcher of water over his head.
Last Sunday, by contrast, the park looked serene. A jazz band played, a street juggler performed, and the only sign of politics was the "Bakin' for Barack" sale in the northeast corner. "Make a donation, take a treat," read the sign next to the slices of banana bread and chocolate chip cookies.
"My sense is that nobody feels they can make a difference in the same way that students did in 1968," said Sachin Makani, 29, a graduate student in neuroscience and one of a handful of people collecting money here. "A lot of us don't see the point in rallying in the streets."
As a historical reference point, 1968 is useful not just because it was an election year that unfolded in the midst of a grim and protracted foreign war. It was also the high-water mark for exactly the kind of radical activism that seems largely absent today, apart from the occasional horde that shows up whenever the World Bank and International Monetary Fund meet. The differences go well beyond the occasional attack on visiting dignitaries. The culture back then was suffused in the atmospherics of insurrection. There were celebrity radicals, such as Abbie Hoffman and Timothy Leary. The Beatles, who only a few years earlier wanted to hold your hand, were singing "Revolution." There was a lot of talk about "the system" and how to avoid it, destroy it or drop out of it.
That's gone now.
"I've been to meetings for political clubs and they never seem to have any momentum," said Robert Hoyer, an NYU junior who was standing outside the library, wearing a pair of headphones. "I know people who really care about what's happening in the world and are trying to get something off the ground, but it's hard for me -- and a lot of students -- to see a way of making a contribution that means anything."
What happen to the street-fighting man? The answer has to start with the draft, or the lack of it.
Because it was personal and nearly unavoidable, the draft lent the same urgency to activism then as hunger and homelessness did during the Great Depression, when unemployed workers marched on the Ford Motor Co. and thousands of World War I vets camped in Washington demanding bonus pay. The draft felt as immediate and potentially deadly as racial discrimination did to those who suffered it and took to the streets to fight it. It was the thing that drove masses of angry kids to Chicago, where they made a shambles of the Democratic National Convention in 1968 -- a far cry from the relative handfuls of Iraq war protesters who were kept on the periphery of the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn., this summer. But the draft didn't just terrify and galvanize students. It forced them to be curious about the world and serious in a way that isn't required today.
"Our friends were getting killed in Vietnam, and any day you could get a letter from the government saying 'Time to go,' " said author and anthropologist David Givens, who teaches at Gonzaga University. "So for survival, we read and we talked. And the people who got up to speak at demonstrations, they were highly literate, they were great orators, they were writers. They had to be articulate. Everyone did." That's missing today, Givens said. "It's not that kids are stupider. They're just not as interested in the world. They don't read as widely. They don't have to. You'd be amazed at how many college students on their MySpace page say that X-Men comics are their favorite books."
Some students sound every bit as underwhelmed by the level of intellectual curiosity on campus. Rachael McMillan, a senior at Columbia University, worked for two years with the Columbia College Democrats and found the experience pretty unsatisfying. But at least she tried. "Most college students just don't feel like they have a vested interest in what is happening today," she said. "I hate to say it, but a lot of my peers calculate the opportunity cost of coordinating with others -- or planning a sit-in or a walkout or just some protest -- against the urge to write a paper, get an A and go to Harvard Law School."
McMillan isn't exempting herself from this charge. She quit the CCD last year after spending five hours squabbling with the Socialist Club about what to put in a news release. It all seemed tragically disorganized to her. But she knows what's happening in the world beyond Columbia, which is more than she can say for a lot of her classmates. "No one was really curious about Iran until the president of the country came to speak at our campus," she said. "Then it was like, 'Oh, yeah. Iran.' A lot of my friends get all their political news from 'The Daily Show,' or from Perez Hilton, who does more political commentary than you'd think. We spend more time padding our résumés than trying to stay informed." The draft, McMillan believes, would transform Columbia. But to explain the relative calm of college life today by focusing solely on the draft would be a mistake. It runs deeper than that, said Todd Gitlin, a Columbia professor of journalism. "There was a culture of confrontation back then," he said. "You were either on the side of the authorities -- not just the president, but the police and the suits -- or you were an outlaw. You took psychedelic drugs and you protested and you drew a line between yourself and the prevailing culture."
That line is getting harder to draw, Gitlin said, in part because the counterculture has been mainstreamed. Rebellion is no longer a clarion call; it's a marketing pitch. "Where is the Frank Sinatra of today? Where is the Tony Bennett? Who represents easy-listening normality? Popular culture is now a rebel industry. There is no inside to it. It's all outside now." Look at rap. Gangsta rappers such as Jay-Z and Rick Ross are self-professed outlaws all right, but they don't want to opt out. They want to buy in. Their aspirations are hard to distinguish from those of a hedge-fund cowboy -- luxury cars, Cristal, yachts. They are unabashed fans of success just as it is defined by the latest crop of MBAs.
"430 Lex with the convertible top," Big Tymers rap on "Still Fly," a song that also name-checks Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Prada and Gucci. Luxury product placement in a song from the mid- or late '60s? No way. Music was ominous (Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower"), sometimes sardonic (Creedence Clearwater's "Fortunate Son") and occasionally satiric (the Beatles' "Piggies"). It reflected the gravity of the times or it looked forward to a utopian future that seemed distant but possible. There wasn't a lot of rhapsodizing about money. If anything, the almighty dollar was scorned. So was Wall Street, at a time when it was rolling along without incident. Abbie Hoffman and 20 friends visited the New York Stock Exchange in August 1967 and gleefully tossed dollar bills from the gallery above the traders. The group was quickly tossed out of the building, but photos of the episode firmed Hoffman's reputation as the nation's greatest yippie prankster.
And now, after a $700 billion bailout? No street theater, no demonstrations. Wall Street has been bloodied and embarrassed, but on-site, public displays of rejection have yet to materialize. "It might happen," said Steven Fraser, author of "Every Man a Speculator," a history of Wall Street's place in American culture, "because what we've seen is so bad and so serious, and its ramifications are so scary." But, he said, we're a long way from the kind of anti-Wall Street rhetoric that was particularly common after the Depression.
"It's partly a function of Americans becoming familiar with the market," Fraser said. "Half of all American families are, at least in a passive way, invested in the market. We've become accustomed to looking toward it to finance homes, vacations, college, whatever." That wasn't true in 1968. But back then, long before the age of the mutual fund, life on the margins was surprisingly affordable. If you decided to move to a hippie hothouse such as Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, you could live decently on $100 a month. Today, without a law degree or an MBA, you can't afford the rent. And the whole firebrand lifestyle is tricky when you live in the suburbs with your mom and dad, as a record number of college graduates now do. But what if we're just looking for dissent in the wrong places? What if there's just as much rage against the machine as ever, but it's vented in ways and in places that aren't as loud and unmissable as a street march. Web sites, for instance. "I think the Internet has become a channel for all kinds of countercultural expression, including discontent and critique," said Miles Orvell, a professor of American studies at Temple University. "But it might have this paradoxical effect. It enlarges the conversation, but it can also produce a kind of passivity. It's like, 'I've said it and that's all I need to do.' A lot of young people seem to use the Internet as a surrogate community, and to that extent, it might diminish participation in the visible sphere."
But there are those who say that most political agitation today isn't on the Web or on campuses. The action now, according to Daniel May, who once worked for the Service Employees International Union, is all door to door. They're raising money, they're getting out the vote. "The organizers of my generation were shaped by 1968," said May, who is working toward a master's degree from Harvard. "But one lesson is that 1968 marked the first year of 40 years of conservative rule. Why would we want to replicate that? There's a real limit to protest politics. It's politics as catharsis and that eventually leads to cynicism."
It would be a mistake, in May's estimation, to confuse the lack of effigies with a lack of passion. The kids who once marched are now trying a different approach, he said, using techniques that were dismissed by their parents as too establishment. May's mother, Elaine Tyler May, a historian at the University of Minnesota, says she used to think that the youth of today just couldn't be bothered. But she has changed her mind. "My son tells me it's politics that's more interested in power than in protest, and on a good day, that's how I see it," she said. "I still have this impulse to go yelling in the street, but what I see my kids doing is far more effective. I think we're just old and we don't realize -- there's a groundswell of political engagement that we just don't see."

I have so, many, magical images to share from our trip. So many. But I think this comes away as my favorite. No, not think, it is. The photos + words that fill my brain and computer from our three weeks there, could go on for eternity. Truth is I am still trying to process it all, a few months later.
For now I'll leave with this one, of my Dannyboy searching for lightening bugs. John Muir said it right when he said, "The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness."


Our meat is the very best you can buy. Trust us. USDA Prime, aged to perfection, hard-to-find cuts… every one of these selections comes with a memorable wow factor.
This is our favorite. No kidding. Bone-in, dry-aged for 36 days, and USDA Prime, these divine steaks are just short of heaven: perfectly marbled, but less fatty than rib steaks, the texture and body of the meat are simply the best with the kind of unique flavor found only in fine restaurants.
Want an at-home dinner to equal the taste and style of the finest five-star restaurant? A frenched, bone-in ribeye is a beautiful eating experience. All Augie & Son ribeyes are center-cut, hand-crafted, USDA Prime and wet-aged. You can hardly get better than this. Trust us.
These Augie & Son tenderloin steaks are always USDA Prime and family ranch-raised to guarantee perfect marbling, texture and color but especially exquisite flavor and wet-aged juiciness. For decades, we've been partnering with small Midwestern-American producers, not huge meat conglomerates, to give our customers consistency and quality.
A good dose of passion goes into any family business and this burger, a secret blend of specific meat cuts, says it all for Augie & Son. It belongs to my grandfather, John Passanante, Sr., my namesake. I grew up eating and making his burger. Our restaurant customers ask all the time, "What's in it?" I'll never tell but you'll taste the proprietary difference on the very first bite.
This is the sirloin strip you've been looking for online: USDA Prime, hand-cut from the middle where the meat is not too lean but not too fatty, our New York strips are mouth-watering, boneless, and wet-aged by Augie & Son for an ultimate at-home, dining experience.
Order steak for two at any great steakhouse and you'll get Porterhouse. This is the best of both worlds with strip on one side (guys love!), T-bone down the middle, and filet mignon (girls prefer!) on the other side. All in one! Create this elegant, "his and hers" meal with our USDA Prime, wet-aged steak.
All USDA Prime, wet-aged, ground beef goes into our burger. We've been grinding our own beef here at Augie & Son here in Pennsylvania and using our butcher's art to make this perfectly pure burger for generations.
For the best of times at home, we start with the whole rib, take off the bone and then tie it back with butcher's twine. This Augie & Son roast is USDA Prime and wet-aged. Grind some garlic, oil, rosemary, and thyme together, then rub the paste inside and out for an unforgettable holiday meal. After roasting, cut the twine, ribs fall right off, and voila: Your masterpiece!
Perfect for steak lovers who treasure that tender, tasty "rib cap," our hand-carved boneless ribeyes are USDA Prime and wet-aged for 28 days, making every bite the best. A peak dining experience delivered to your door.
USDA Prime, these gorgeous tenderloin steaks are one-of-a-kind, hard-to-find, authentic cuts that stay tender and full of flavor because they are bone-sweetened. We promise! Augie & Son's very own wet aging process guarantees a perfect eating experience.
Hard-to-find and dinner-party perfect on the plate, this gigantic steak with the huge bone handle is USDA Prime and wet-aged by Augie & Son. A really fun piece of mouth-watering meat…finger-licking good…grill two and your guests will go wild.

Testing the efficacy of healing plants from Nigeria, Romania and Egypt
28 June 2016 By MyPortElizabeth
NMMU's Prof Maryna van de Venter (right), an associate professor in Biochemistry, has partnered with NMMU horticulturalist Elana Storm to set up a medicinal garden for traditional healers at the University's Missionvale Campus.
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University's Maryna van de Venter is testing the medicinal properties of plants from around the world, including Romania, Egypt and Nigeria, screening mainly for anti-diabetic, anti-cancer and anti-HIV/Aids activity – and yielding a number of positive results.
The Associate Professor in Biochemistry has spent the last 15 years helping to take NMMU to the forefront of medicinal plant research in South Africa, particular in the complex field of anti-diabetic research, leading to her expertise being sought by universities across the globe. She has published 73 peer-reviewed journal articles.
"We have very good screening in vitro [in test tubes] for anti-diabetic activity. Diabetes is so complicated – but we've been optimising our system for 15 years. It's a good system." All her research is conducted in-vitro, and uses laser-based instruments to monitor the "mechanism of action" occurring in samples. She collaborates with a number of different researchers and departments, including pharmacy, microbiology and chemistry.
Lately, she has also been testing for "neuro protection activity" in plants, which could potentially be used in the fight against Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS [the acronym for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or motor neuron disease] and other diseases affecting the brain. She is pioneering South African research into the medicinal qualities of mushrooms, which has been widely investigated in Europe and Asia and some countries in Africa, but not at all in South Africa.
Van de Venter also works closely with the country's traditional healers – and has been testing the medicinal properties of a number of plants used in traditional medicine. Partnering with Elana Storm, the horticulturalist responsible for NMMU's gardens, she has been instrumental in setting up a medicinal garden at NMMU's Missionvale Campus, where traditional healers can grow their own plants – and participate in regular workshops run by Van de Venter and her postgrad students (arranged via three national traditional healers' associations), to facilitate the sharing of information between researchers and healers.
"We work on plants that have been published in books already, as traditional healers won't tell you what they use. They have a belief that if they give their secrets away, they lose power.
"We have done a lot of work on the African potato, including testing the different species, as this is most commonly used in traditional medicine … We have found that there are quite significant differences between the different species. People use the plant to treat cancer, but one species actually stimulated cancer cell growth … The African potato's most well-known use is to boost the immune system – and it can definitely do the job." She shares her results at the workshops with healers.
"We also try to explain our view of certain diseases, and the Western way of diagnosing and treating. Sometimes they will tell you how they diagnose and treat. It's a voluntary exchange of information."
Regarding her work on the plants of other countries, Van de Venter said: "We work a lot on Nigerian plants, in collaboration with the University of Lagos … We have been looking at anti-cancer and anti-inflammation activities … We have had quite a few plants that show good anti-cancer activity."
She has also tested a number of Romanian plants for anti-cancer activity, while the plants from Egypt have been tested for anti-diabetic activities. The research on the Egyptian and Nigerian plants has been funded by the African Laser Centre.

In case, you have any doubts regarding any aspects of the Online Teacher Training education programme such as the course material, assignments etc., our online education co-ordinators will be glad to assist you. For any other issues, you can get in touch with our online education support team and they will help you with all sincerity.
After the successful completion of the teacher training programme, the marksheet and certificate of Teacher Training Diploma will be couriered to your postal address.
Online Education Teaching practice works a little differently for Online Teacher Training Diploma Programme, i.e. it is optional, but we would highly recommend it, especially for candidates who do not have any teaching experience as no teacher training course is complete without sufficient amount of practical training. No amount of theory will work unless one is in the classroom, interacting with students. Therefore teacher training internship or teaching practice sessions are an important part of our teacher training online course curriculum.
During teacher training internship, trainee teachers are exposed to various practical aspects of pre-school education teaching and management. During pre-school internship they observe and become aware of the needs and behaviour of pre school children; they understand the classroom set-up, and are able to plan and prepare their lessons better. This, in turn, will make their teaching more effective in the future.
Interested teacher training candidates will be provided with a letter of reference from VES, recommending them for internship. Candidates can select any pre school of their choice, near their vicinity and gain teaching experience.
The marksheet and certificate of Teachers' Training Diploma Course will be available after successful completion of the teacher training online course.
Shipment of the marksheet and certificate of the Teacher Training Diploma Course within India and outside India will be done free of cost. It takes a maximum of 30 days for the marksheet and certificate to reach the trainee's address.
The best part of this Online Teacher Training is that the term "online" will not be mentioned anywhere on the marksheet and certificate. This will help the online candidates to become certified teachers without having to travel to a different place to take up the online education teacher training course.
This Online Teacher Training Diploma Programme is as valuable as other full-time or part-time in- class programmes as the curriculum has been designed in such a way that it equips our teacher training online candidates with both theoretical and practical knowledge.
This teacher training certification provides our candidates with an entry point into schools of State / CBSE / ICSE / IGCSE / IB board in India and abroad.
Kindergartens, pre-schools, creches, activity clubs, toy libraries are the places where job prospects are very high for teacher training diploma - certified candidates.

Q: Netbeans: Add color to Java syntax in JEditorPane i have a project that has a JEditorPane in netbeans, at the moment i have this being populated with a chosen .java file. what i would like to happen do is when the java file is loaded the syntax is colored appropriately so that it is easy to read other then the current plain text it is now.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this as i am unable to find any good examples of this online?
EDIT: ANSWER
I got this to finally work, i added the JSyntaxPane jar file to my classpath (jsyntaxpane-0.9.5-b29.jar to be exact) then i added the following two lines of code to get it working for my JEditorPane.
jsyntaxpane.DefaultSyntaxKit.initKit();
JEditorPane.setContentType("text/java");

This can also be used on the following languages: JavaScript, Properties, Groovy, C, C++, XML, SQL, Ruby and Python... just by simply changing text/java to text/LANGUAGE_YOU_WANT in the above code

A: I would suggest to use RSyntaxTextArea (see http://fifesoft.com/rsyntaxtextarea/).
It's very easy to integrate and works great. The documentation contains an example, which shows how to integrate a RSyntaxtTextArea for Java-Syntax-Hightlighting:

Friday Happy Hour: Cockspur 130, The Sweet Overproof Rum
Sweet is not an S-word commonly associated with overproof rum. More often it's something like stings, as in "Damn, that stings!," or sh!t, as in "That's some strong sh!t right there!"
Cockspur 130 Overproof Rum, however, like everything else bearing the Cockspur name, is not typical.
The brand dates all the way back to 1884, when a Danish seaman named Valdemar Hanschell came ashore in Barbados and decided to start making rum. Even in its earliest days, Cockspur was a cut above the rest, distinguished as one of the few rums of its age distilled to such degree that it was free of impurities.
Cockspur was also the first to introduce a continuous column still to Barbados, achieving greater consistency in the same signature dry, crisp, and clean blends the brand is known for today.
All-New Cockspur 130 Overproof Rum | SBPR
The latest and greatest from the famed Cockspur Distillery, the new Overproof 130 upholds the celebrated company legacy in fine fashion, even while treading into the nefarious realm of extra-strong rum.
This is no place for the meek or faint of heart, of course, but in the tried and true uber-macho West Indian tradition of "tekkin' booze," it's where most men want to be. It's little wonder, then, that such powerfully potent powder kegs as Trinidad's Puncheon (75% alcohol by volume), Jamaica's Wray & Nephew (63%), and St. Vincent's Sunset Very Strong Rum (84.5%) are top-sellers in their respective countries.
At 65% alcohol by volume, Cockspur 130 occupies the middle-ground among the region's Titanic tipples, which is not such a bad thing since you'll likely want to consume more of it than you probably should any overproof rum.
That's right, this overproof is actually tasty. Sweet, even, with less of the rubbing alcohol/ethanol character of your run of the mill overproof rum.
The burn is there, of course, but it doesn't crush you. Rather, it lingers firmly at the back of the throat as subtle tropical fruit and spice flavors settle on your tongue.
Atypical in the grand tradition of its forebears, Cockspur 130 may just be the best overproof rum around.
The Cane Mill Rum, Barbados: Friday Happy Hour
Cheap doesn't always mean poor quality when it comes to rum, though. Among the best quality blends I've discovered recently in the budget bin at my local liquor store: The Cane Mill Rum.
Friday Happy Hour: Rum Fire Overproof from Jamaica
Rum Fire is true to its name in the obvious overproof way, but there's a lot more to this potent potable than burns the tongue.
Friday Happy Hour: Doorly's XO, The Best Rum Bargain Around
There are fine rums and there are bargain rums, though never the twain have ever met, in my experience, quite as perfectly as they do in Doorly's X.O.

Lauren Hashian Wiki – Age, Height and All About Dwayne Johnson's Wife
By Ose
Instagram - laurenhashianofficial
Born to a musician, Lauren Hashian toed the same career path as her father and is now an accomplished singer and songwriter. Though she has made a name in the music industry with her songs Memory (2014) and Go Hard released in 2016, Lauren's love life with world-famous semi-retired professional wrestler, actor, and producer Dwayne Johnson pushed her further into the limelight. She has been in a long-term relationship with the Hollywood hunk and there is a lot to know about them. Find out more about this mother of two, her bio, age, and how tall she is, among other facts.
Lauren Hashian's Age and Family Background
The beauty was born to John Thomas Sib Hashian and Suzanne Jipp Hashian in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, the US. She has Armenian and Italian bloodline which she inherited from her father.
Her dad was a renowned drummer in a rock band while her mother worked in Dallas Playboy club before she began operating her own massage parlour. Sib Hashian, as he was popularly known, died in active service; he experienced cardiac arrest which led to his untimely death while he was playing on board a cruise tour in March 2017.
She was not born as an only child as she has other siblings; a sister named Aja and a brother who goes by the name Adam. Interestingly, Aja equally writes songs and even makes music with Lauren. She had her high school education at Lynnfield High School before she moved to Boston where she enrolled to study Public Relations at Emerson College, graduating in 2006.
Career Progress
As a young child from a musical family, Lauren Hashian soon toed that career path, having her proactive musically inclined dad, guide and spur her on. In a bid to make way for herself in the world of music, she featured in the American reality talent show R U The Girl which aired in 2005 on United Paramount Network television channel, featuring the remaining members of pop and R&B group TLC. Her wonderful father was in the finals to show his support for his daughter with the hope that she would clinch the opportunity of performing with the TLC members; howbeit, she lost out to co-contestant Krispie Tiffany Baker.

That did not deter her from pursuing her dreams as she later had her stint at a creative licensing section of the Warner Brothers Music outfit. She later picked up a two-year appointment with the Paramount Picture Motion Music where she resumed duties in November 2010 until she exited in 2012.
So far, she has to her credit, songs written by her, such as the 2011 Ya Boi Shad song Only You, which she featured in. Most of her works have over time been uploaded to SoundCloud, the online audio distribution platform. One of Hashian's most successful songs is Go Hard (2016), a song she co-wrote with sister Aja. Besides, she has also graced quite a number of stages alongside her famous father and his band where she put up wonderful performances. Her hard work has seen her earn an estimated net worth pegged at a six-digit figure which is still under review but her partner's current net worth is far higher at the tune of $280 million.

They have been in a live-in love affair over a decade and counting, although they are yet to legalize their union, they have produced two adorable daughters namely Jasmine Lia, born in December 2015 and Tiana Gia Johnson who was delivered on the 23rd of April 2018. The lovebirds are making the best of their moments together and perhaps, we will soon hear the chiming of wedding bells heralding their solemnization.

The proud father of three daughters was born on the 2nd of May 1972 into a family of wrestlers. He grew up and also followed their footsteps, making a great name for himself in sports and leaving the ring as a ten-time heavyweight world champion of WWE/WWF/WCW. He migrated into Hollywood with the help of his then-wife Dany Garcia, who was and still his business manager, carving a powerful niche for himself in the movie industry. He has made appearances as an actor, and producer in many box office hit movies and series such as the Fast and Furious film series, Hercules, Skyscraper, The Scorpion King, The Mummy Returns, The Ballers and The Titan Games, among many others.
Details of Dwayne Johnson's Ex-wife – Dany Garcia
Dwayne Johnson was previously married for a decade to Dany Garcia. They became man and wife in May 1997, four years after, in 2001, they had their first child, a daughter who they named Simone Alexandra Johnson. For unknown reasons, the couple broke up amicably in June 2007. Dany has continued to work for her ex-husband as his manager – a job she took up since his days in the ring as a wrestler. Their daughter has grown up into a lovely adult, who has taken to modelling. Dwayne Johnson has long moved on with his love life as he has been smitten with the Lynnfield-born songstress Lauren Hashian since 2007.
Lauren Hashian's Height
The beautiful songwriter has a good height advantage with a slender build, standing at the height of 5 feet 8 inches (1.78m) with her frame neatly complemented by a weight estimated to be 57 kilograms (125.6 lb). Her height is a far cry from Dwayne Johnson's 6 feet 5 inches (1.96m).


Here we are, the end of the year. Am I any wiser?
Hard as it may be at times, I owe it to myself to practice what I preach, to do what I ask of my clients.
So in that vein, here are the top three lessons I've learned.
Never expect someone else to protect myself better than I do.
It happened to me recently, and while it will be problematic for the person who forwarded the message, it reminded me others do not view integrity and confidentiality the same way that I do. I must be aware and pick and choose my words and behavior appropriately at all times! No one will protect me better than I will myself.
There is great value and growth in making the tough decisions.
To move any organization to the next level is rarely easy. Tough decisions must be made and as a result, relationships may change and feelings may be hurt. Heck, sometimes those feelings may be your own! Yet for me, stagnation is not an option.
There is a big difference between making a rash decision and a well thought-out one. I'm not advocating you rush out, sell your worldly possessions, and take a job on the Horn of Africa! (That being said, I'm writing this blog from a tiny beach resort on the coast of Ghana.) However, recognize forward movement in life does not come on its own. It takes vulnerability to sit in that uncomfortable space while you learn more about the new reality and leave your old one behind.
Never underestimate the value of friendships – both new and those with more history.
While I may travel a lot and lament that I don't see my own bed enough, I am grateful for the people in my life – both near and far. I am thankful for those who take the time to reach out and say hello – and those who take the time to respond to my texts along the way. I'm grateful for those who open their homes to me for a glass of wine on the way to the airport or who meet me for an early breakfast as I'm passing through their town or country! I'm blessed my work in November took me to two new countries and grateful it allowed for a night in Dubai with close friends. There's something to be said for that feeling of a familiar hug and smile when you walk into someone's home.
And as much as we whinge and whine about social media, it allows me to stay connected with those whose lives have intersected with mine. What has it given me?
The chance to have dinner with a recent student in her home in Alabama – what a wonderful evening and opportunity to enjoy the kindness of others.
The opportunity to connect with recently-made friends at a cookout in Detroit and then show them Southern Ontario!
An entire collection of friends in my local area that I met through an on-line site, some of whom I count amongst my closest confidantes!
What have I learned this year? That while times may be tough, there is goodness all around us. My family is healthy – some having come through substantial health challenges. My friends are in my corner. My business continues to grow.
I wish the same for you – both now and always.

Guillermo del Toro on his scrapped plans for Justice League Dark
We all love Guillermo del Toro, but we also know that Guillermo del Toro isn't always able to follow through on some of the projects he's so passionate about. One of those projects was Justice League Dark, which Guillermo del Toro was reported to have been working on nearly a decade ago.
Nightmare Alley: Guillermo del Toro included a Mimic Easter egg
Guillermo del Toro spoke about the Justice League Dark movie several times over the years before he stepped down from the project and was replaced by Doug Liman (Chaos Walking). Although he's no longer involved, del Toro recently spoke with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast to spill a few details on what his Justice League Dark movie would have been.
I took a little bit of the opening of the Alan Moore Constantine. And I took the dynamics between [Abby Arcane] and Swamp Thing, and I took the sort of revelatory moments when Deadman gets into a body, how he would experience the consciousness of that being. And one of my all-time favourites is the demon Etrigan. I love that character.
Guillermo del Toro continued, "Zatanna is really, for me, another character that is really effortlessly powerful and interesting. So trying to mix that with Klarion the Witch Boy…I was [always] a DC guy." After replacing Guillermo del Toro on Justice League Dark, Doug Liman wound up departing as well and the project will now take the form of a movie and TV franchise developed by J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company.
Nightmare Alley: black and white version to get very limited theatrical release
Guillermo del Toro's latest film is Nightmare Alley, a psychological thriller starring Bradley Cooper as an ambitious carny with a talent for manipulating people with a few well-chosen words, but he's given a run for his money when he hooks up with a female psychiatrist played by Cate Blanchett who is even more dangerous than he is. The film debuted in theaters earlier this month and you can check out a review from our own JimmyO right here.
