Tips on growing stevia

You need not be a South American planter to be a successful stevia grower. While the herb's native locale may make it appear somewhat exotic, it has proved to be quite adaptable and capable of being cultivated in climate zones as diverse as Florida and southern Canada.

True, home-grown stevia may lack the potency of refined white stevia extract; whole stevioside content generally ranges from 81 to 91 percent, as compared to a leaf level of approximately 12 percent. But it can provide you with a quantity of freshly harvested stevia 'tea leaves' to augment your supply of commercial stevia sweeteners.

Open Courseware: How You Can Take Classes at MIT, Stanford, or Johns Hopkins for Free - Distance Education.org

The year was 1999. The online education industry was still in its infancy, but MIT was ahead of the times. The school’s provost, Robert Brown, had just given the school an assignment: figure out how to position itself for the coming trend in online learning.

Many colleges at the time wanted to figure out how to make money with online education—and MIT was no different. But then a group of professors suggested a revolutionary idea: why not just post all class materials online, available to everyone? And why not make it free?

MIT attracted funding and publicity, and the rest was history. Their success sparked an OpenCourseWare movement among top universities all over the world. Today, you can pull up a virtual chair and sit in on classes at Carnegie Mellon, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, MIT, Utah State, the University of Notre Dame, and other top-tier universities—all without paying a dime.

Despite everything being in perpetual Beta, Google tools work well, and are quite reliable. 

Today I would like to take you through the process of setting up a blog, researching and creating content, to monetizing and monitoring your blog all within the Google universe of tools. Best of all, once you create one Google Login you are able to access all these tools without any additional registration.

Google Wave, Email on Steroids!

Ooops they did it again! No, not the Britney Spears fan club! Google did it again...stealing Microsoft's thunder by rolling out Wave, their new communications and collaborative tool during the same week Microsoft debuted Bing, its new search engine. Google Wave is what email would be like if it were on steroids! It is a little of everything all mashed up into one big giant framework. Wave is part email, IM, calendar, Twitter, wiki, spreadsheets/docs/presentation, picture sharing, social media, forums, maps and just about everything else on the web, but the kitchen sink!
