The grandson of Irish immigrants, he was raised in a Pennsylvania farm house built in 1740 and this early American Yankee sensibility shows in much of his writing. Yet, his true love became the American west, and it is the west that is his greatest source of inspiration. He spent fifty years gathering stories and ideas from New England woodsman, Memphis blues musicians, Nevada cowboy poets and the free spirits of San Francisco. He now lives with his wife on The Snake River Plain in southern Idaho and spends as much time as he can with his two grown daughters and two grandchildren.

Mysuru: The Glass House at Kuppanna Park, which was to be ready early this year, will finally be ready for Dasara-2018. It has been under construction for almost over a year on the lines of the one at Lalbagh in Bengaluru. Once completed, the Glass House will be a landmark and there will be no opportunity for the people to complain that Mysuru has no Glass House like the State capital.
Workers are giving finishing touches to the landmark structure near the Hardinge Circle (now Jayachamaraja Wadiyar Statue Circle) and works are on the finer aspects to make the structure a people-friendly and a visually-appealing one. The entire structure has been built using high-quality and tempered glass and has been designed in such a way that it can stand the vagaries of nature.
Kuppanna Park is also called Nishad Bagh where the annual Dasara Flower Show is organised. In his 2015-16 Budget, the then Chief Minister Siddharamaiah, who also held the Finance portfolio, had allocated Rs. 6 crore for the Glass House. The foundation stone was laid on Jan. 22, 2017.
Spread over 12 acres, Kuppanna Park was handed over to the Horticulture Department by the Mysuru City Corporation for maintenance. The vast surroundings of the Park have enabled the Department to add more attractions to the park including the musical fountain and the Glass House.
The vast Glass House constructed 1.5 metre above the ground spans 2,419 square metres including corridor and is round in shape with a diameter of 36 meters and has four entry points. Its dome, based on the Indo-Saracenic style and Mysuru style, is 18 metres wide and has an outer wall of 6 metres.
The model of the Glass House that is shaping up at Kuppanna Park in city.
Solar-tempered 13.5 mm thick Saint-Gobain glass panes are being used to make the structure and the glass has lower thermal absorption so as to keep the inner ambience cool and comfortable. The colourful interior lights would provide a grand illumination as night attraction for visitors.
This project was initially under the care of the Horticulture Department and it was handed over to Public Works Department, who with assistance from Nikitha Build-Tech Pvt. Ltd., are constructing the huge structure that will house varieties of plants.
The steel structure supporting the glass spreads to about 25,000 sq. feet and the steel structure itself weighs (without the glass) about 100 tonnes. The structure has special solar-tempered glass panes to trap heat and provide suitable condition for plant growth. Argo Facades, a manufacturing company related to structural glazing, structural glazing systems, aluminium double glazing sound proof system and glazing service was taking care of the construction works.
Speaking to Star of Mysore, Thimmaraju, Assistant Director, Horticulture Department, Mysuru, said that the works will be completed within a month and the Glass House will be handed over to the Horticulture Department by the contractors. "Once the Glass House comes to us, the beautification works will begin and it will be a prime attraction for 2018 Dasara," he said.
Dismissing concerns about the safety of the glasses, he said that the glasses were brought to Mysuru in specific measurements and placed on pre-fixed framework. The panes are prepared by fusing two layers of toughened glasses which is of 6 mm thickness each, with a 1.52 mm fusion gap in between them. So, totally the thickness adds up to around 13.5 mm.
Picture shows the dome work in progress.
Special features of the Glass House include an exclusive platform for the physically challenged complete with a path for wheel chair. Electric and drainage pipelines inside the Glass House have been laid underground and have necessary outlets. Rain water harvesting facility is incorporated and water will be stored and reused. The solar facility at the park will be operational in the near future to provide source of energy to the lamps in the park.
Kuppanna Park, which was one of the tourist attracting spots for its Flower Shows and Musical Fountains, will reach a higher level once the Glass House is completed and will result in more tourist inflow and also ensure plant growth development and conservation of biodiversity.

Lunar: Eternal Blue Confirmed for PSX
Game Arts has confirmed they will release a PSX version of Lunar: Eternal Blue entitled "Lunar: Eternal Blue Remix" on May 27th, in Japan. The PlayStation version is said to be composed of three discs, as opposed to the Saturn version's two. Although unconfirmed, rumors are now circulating that the Working Designs' "mystery" RPG is in actuality, Lunar: Eternal Blue. A Working Designs spokesperson has told RPGamer that the mystery RPG will be most likely unveiled at E3 in May.
In other Japanese PlayStation news, more and more sources are stating that a demo of Seiken Densetsu (Secret of Mana) 4 will be included with SaGa Frontier 2, slated to be released later this spring, but there has not been any official word from Square at this time.

Why is the null hypothesis often sought to be rejected?
I hope I am making sense with the title. Often, the null hypothesis is formed with the intention of rejecting it. Is there a reason for this, or is it just a convention?

The purpose of statistical hypothesis testing is largely to impose self-skepticism, making us cautious about promulgating our hypothesis unless there is reasonable evidence to support it. Thus in the usual form of hypothesis testing the null hypothesis provides a "devils advocate", arguing against us, and only promulgate our hypothesis if we can show that the observations mean that it is unlikely that the advocate's argument is sound. So we take $H_0$ to be the thing we don't want to be true and then see if we are able to reject it. If we can reject it, it doesn't mean that our hypothesis is likely to be correct, just that it has passed this basic hurdle and so is worthy of consideration. If we can't, it doesn't mean that our hypothesis is false, it may be that we just don't have enough data to provide suffcient evidence. As @Bahgat rightly suggests (+1) this is very much the idea of Popper's falsificationism idea.
However, it is possible to have a test where $H_0$ is the thing you want to be true, but in order for that to work, you need to show that the test has sufficiently high statistical power in order to be confident of rejecting the null if it actually is false. Computing statistical power is rather more difficult that performing the test, which is why this form of testing is rarely used and the alternative where $H_0$ is what you don't want to be true is normally used instead.
So you don't have to take $H_0$ to oppose your hypothesis, but it does make the testing procedure much easier.

Karl Popper says "We cannot conclusively affirm a hypothesis, but we can conclusively negate it". So when we do hypothesis testing in statistics, we try to negate (reject) the opposite hypothesis (the null hypothesis) of the hypothesis we are interested in (the alternative hypothesis) and which we can not affirm. Since we can specify the null hypothesis easily, but we don't know what exactly the alternative hypothesis is. We may hypothesize for example that there is a mean difference between the two populations, but we cannot point out how wide the gap would be.

$\begingroup$ If I understand your question correctly, standard frequentist hypothesis test are non-symmetric (the alternative hypothesis does not even appear in its formulation), so not being able to reject the null hypothesis does not mean that it is true and the alternate hypothesis is false. It could be that the null hypothesis is false, but there is not enough data to provide the evidence to show that it is false. The self-skepticism imposed by the test is due to assuming that $H_0$ is true until "proven" otherwise. $\endgroup$ – Dikran Marsupial Dec 4 '15 at 19:15
$\begingroup$ I am not quite sure whether Popper's logic of falsification can be 100% applied to statistical hypothesis testing after Fisher/Neyman. After all Popper says that "We cannot conclusively affirm a hypothesis, but we can conclusively negate it". If I recall correctly, Popper said that a hypothesis is to be framed clearly in order to make it accessible for falsification. As you point out we attempt to reject the null hypothesis. Not sure if Popper intended to falsify the null hypothesis.I think he rather would want to falsify the alternative hypothesis,or the one that actually has a meaning to us. $\endgroup$ – Stefan Dec 4 '15 at 19:18
$\begingroup$ @DikranMarsupial, yeah I know his works and also read "Conjectures and Refutations" and after spending some months contemplating what he wrote, I don't think that what he wants is being achieved with hypothesis testing as we do it. He also refuses inductive reasoning over deductive reasoning. Aren't we kind of making inferences all the time? His logic mostly applies to Physics, e.g. his prime example is how Einstein deduced by his calculation that gravity will distort space time and hence bent light. This was then tested on multiple occasions and could not be reject since then. $\endgroup$ – Stefan Dec 4 '15 at 19:30
$\begingroup$ @DikranMarsupial but I am open for falsification of my statements :) Great topic though. $\endgroup$ – Stefan Dec 4 '15 at 19:36
$\begingroup$ Hypothesis testing does achieve part of his scheme which is that we make our hypotheses explicity testable and falsifiable (at least in probability). In fact statisticans go further, and actually require the test to be performed before proceeding further. I suspect he might approve of Bayesian hypothesis testing rather more than the frequentist equivalent. I don't think falsificationism is fully satisfactory in isolation anyway, so I don't mind Popper not fully approving! ;o) $\endgroup$ – Dikran Marsupial Dec 4 '15 at 19:47
It is not taken for granted that the null is always to be rejected. In model fit testing, the null is usually that the model fits well, and that is something desirable that we would hate to reject. It is, however, usually true that the sampling distribution of the test statistic is easier to derive under the null, which is usually far more restrictive than the alternative. The null that the mean difference between two groups is zero leads to a $t$-test; the null that the two distributions are the same leading to Kolmogorov-Smirnov test; the null that the linear regression model does not need nonlinear terms via Ramsey RESET test; the null that a latent variable model describes the observed covariance matrix adequately leads to a parametric space of lower dimension than an unrestricted alternative, and an asymptotic chi-square test of the distance to the smooth parametric surface in the space of $p(p+1)/2$ covariances defined by the model. So my take on this is that, as @whuber put it in the comment below, the null is usually a crucial albeit convenient technical assumption. The null is either a point (potentially multivariate) in the parametric space, so that the sampling distribution is fully specified; or a restricted parametric space, with the alternative that can be formulated to be complementary in that space, and the test statistic is based on a distance from the richer set of parameters under the alternative to the set with restrictions under the null; or, in nonparametric rank/order statistics world, the distribution under the null can be derived by the complete enumeration of all possible samples and outcomes (often approximated by something normal in large samples though).
Taking the null as something different (e.g., that the means of the two groups differ by at most 0.01, with the alternative differ by more than 0.01) requires a more complicated set of derivations, e.g., looking at the worst possible situations, which in the above case would still boil down to the point null against a one-sided alternative. The worst case on the right is $H_0: \mu_2 = \mu_1 + 0.01$ vs. $H_1: \mu_2 > \mu_1 +1$, and on the left it is $H_0: \mu_2 = \mu_1 - 0.01$ vs. $H_1: \mu_2 < \mu_1 - 1$.

$\begingroup$ +1 Although the references to the philosophy of science are appealing, Fisher and Neyman-Pearson preceded Popper and, I believe, were driven primarily by this crucial technical issue to create the asymmetry between the null and alternate hypothesis. $\endgroup$ – whuber♦ Dec 5 '15 at 0:40
$\begingroup$ That (using a simple model unless it is rejected) may be frequent practice, but I am not sure it is necessarily good practice... $\endgroup$ – Björn Dec 5 '15 at 10:48
$\begingroup$ @whuber, exactly, but for some reason null hypothesis testing is so often put in context with Popper's philosophy. But the concept of the null hypothesis goes back to Fisher and Neyman-Pearson (as you mentioned). The only thing they had in common though is that they both used/proposed hypotheses to acquire knowledge - and with respect to acquiring knowledge and the scientific method, Popper was clearly more influential. So I think that's the reason why the concept of hypothesis testing (including NHT) in general is linked to Popper... I might be wrong though. $\endgroup$ – Stefan Dec 6 '15 at 0:07
$\begingroup$ @whuber and StasK: Would you be able to expand a bit more regarding the "crucial technical issue" which I believe refers to StasK 's comment that the test statistic is easier to derive under the null? Maybe I should ask a new question where this could hopefully be addressed. $\endgroup$ – Stefan Dec 6 '15 at 0:17
This is a fair and good question. @Tim already gave you all you need to answer your question in a formal way, however if you are not familiar with statistical hypothesis testing you could conceptualize the null hypothesis by thinking about it in a more familiar setting.
Suppose you are being accused of having conducted a crime. Until proven guilty, you are innocent (null hypothesis). The attorney provides evidence that you are guilty (alternative hypothesis), your lawyers try to invalidate this evidence during the trial (the experiment) and in the end the judge rules whether you are innocent given the facts provided by the attorney and the lawyers. If the facts against you are overwhelming, i.e. the probability that you are innocent is very low, the judge (or jury) will conclude that your are guilty given the evidence.
Now with this in mind, you could also conceptualize features of statistical hypothesis testing, for instance why independent measurements (or evidence) are important, since after all your deserve a fair trial.
However, this is example has its limitations and eventually you have to formally understand the concept of the null hypothesis.
So to answer your questions:
Yes there is a reason for the null hypothesis (as described above).
No it's not just a convention, the null hypothesis is the core or statistical hypothesis testing or else it wouldn't work they way it is intended to.
The law of parsimony (also known as Occam's razor) is a general principle of science. Under that principle, we assume a simple world until it can be shown that the world is more complicated. So, we assume the simpler world of the null hypothesis until it can be falsified. For example:
We assume treatment A and treatment B work the same until we show differently. We assume the weather is the same in San Diego as in Halifax until we show differently, we assume men and women are paid the same until we show differently, etc.
For more, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor

If I can draw an analogy to logic, a general way to prove something is to assume the opposite and see if that leads to a contradiction. Here the null hypothesis is like the opposite, and rejecting it (i.e. showing that it is very unlikely) is like deriving the contradiction.
You do it that way because it's a way to make an unambiguous statement. Like in my field, it's much easier to say "The statement 'this drug has no benefit' has 5% chance of being right" than it is to say "The statement 'this drug has benefit' has 90% chance of being right". Of course, people want to know how much benefit is being claimed, but first they want to know it isn't zero.
Mike DunlaveyMike Dunlavey
The null hypothesis is always formed with the intention to reject it that is the basic idea of hypothesis testing. When you are trying to show that something is likely to be true (e.g. a treatment improves or worsens a disease), then the null hypothesis is the default position (e.g. the treatment does not make a difference to the disease). You generate evidence for your desired claim by accumulating data that is (hopefully) so far away from what should have happened under the null hypothesis (in the example patients that are randomized to receive the treatment or a placebo having the same expected outcome) that one concludes that is very unlikely to have arisen under the null hypothesis so that you can reject the null hypothesis. In contrast failure to reject the null hypothesis does not necessarily make it very likely that the null hypothesis is true (just because a clinical trial failed to show a drug works does not mean that the drug really does nothing).

Ant-Man (2015)
**½/****
starring Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Corey Stoll, Michael Douglas
screenplay by Edgar Wright & Joe Cornish and Adam McKay & Paul Rudd
directed by Peyton Reed
by Walter Chaw You've got to feel for director Peyton Reed, the Tobe Hooper to Edgar Wright's Steven Spielberg in a film, Ant-Man, that will forever be discussed in terms of lingering evidence of Wright's contribution following his very public divorce from the production. Reed's like the guy dating the supermodel: everyone's looking around him to see the main attraction. Indeed, multiple moments are clearly the product of Wright's sensibility--the flashbacks, in particular, where characters speak in the exact cadence and rhythm of narrator/sidekick Luis (Michael Pena). There are multiple moments, too, where it could be speculated that the movie would have played a lot looser had Wright been allowed to see his vision through to the end. But what's there is still a pretty good palate cleanser. It's silly and aware of that without being snarky about it, only once or twice lowering itself to broad slapstick that, here we go again, I don't believe Wright would have let pass without some kind of edged stinger. At the end of the day, frankly, any film that references The Incredible Shrinking Man so beautifully deserves its moment on the stage.
That scene--where the infinite is discussed--places Ant-Man in the odd company of Big Hero 6 and Interstellar, pulling the father/daughter dynamic between hero Scott (Paul Rudd) and his adorable moppet (Abby Ryder Fortson) into focus for a moment and underscoring the idea that movies like this only ever work when they're grounded in recognizable relationships. Scott and his kid mirror mentor Hank Pym's (Michael Douglas) fractured relationship with his own daughter, Hope (Evangeline Lilly, still smirking); and there's just enough here about men and their little girls to offset the intense, prefab crappiness of a villain plot concerning an industrialist (Corey Stoll) who wants to use Pym's shrinking technology for evil. It's so conventional that, again, speculation runs to either the satirical ends that Wright, best known for his smart satires of the zombie and buddy-action genres, had planned or, worse, whether the reason Wright was jettisoned in the first place had to do with an unwillingness to play Marvel Cinematic Universe ball. The usual cadence of origin, training, minor showdown, major showdown, and table-setting is honoured, in any case, with a pair of closing-credits sequences that set up a sequel to Ant-Man and tease Captain America: Civil War. The novelty, safe to say, has worn off, and the practice is less Easter egg now than just something to be tolerated.
The film works whenever the inherent silliness of superheroes and the superhero genre are pinioned by clever visual jokes (the best a train derailment spoiled by the trailers), and it's elevated, too, by the pathologically-likable Rudd, the ridiculous slo-mo elegy for a noble flying ant, and an entire performance by a crotchety Douglas that recalls his Grady Tripp from Wonder Boys. He was born to do too-long-for-this-world shtick and Ant-Man benefits from his grey-haired Han Solo act. Douglas plays it straight, but he knows what kind of movie he's in. I also liked the idea that Ant-Man can control ants, and the Phase IV scenes of the little guys swarming around are both delightful and lamentably underutilized. The central geek-joke in the film is its most telling, as Ant-Man pays homage, twice, to Return of the Jedi: the first in a planning sequence and the second in a delightful "Death Star" run. It's telling because it's not just the type of thing Wright would do--it's the type of thing Wright would do because he knows that Return of the Jedi is a piece of shit that people of a certain age love anyway.
The best joke in the film, though, is what Scott gives to his daughter at her birthday party. It suggests the kind of sprung sensibility that Ant-Man would have done well to ride in lieu of its standard corporate shenanigans, references to Hydra, and an embarrassing battle with Falcon (Anthony Mackie) that plays like the worst sort of tokenism. I appreciate Ant-Man talking the talk about the lack of women in the MCU, the toll of mass destruction, and so on, but the pangs of conscience would've been easier to take were they not delivered in so vanilla-on-Wonder-bread a package. When Ant-Man squares off against Falcon, it speaks mainly to the idea that Falcon was the only one available, given that all the other Avengers are too important to hang around, guarding a warehouse. I don't want to complain too much, considering that any black superhero is a step in the right direction; I do want to note that a black superhero who is a custodian and embarrassed by a one-millimetre-tall white superhero isn't necessarily progress. Ant-Man ultimately is harmless, late-summer product. It's that thing you buy at a circus and throw away a couple of weeks later.

Our coaches will help you establish a new awareness of movement and teach you how slight shifts can create exponential improvements in stability, mobility, and strength. We'll also teach you to use pain as your guide and create adjustments accordingly—pushing yourself to create performance improvements should not result in injury.
The best part of our group strength classes is variation—we mix it up each week, which won't give your body or your brain time to get too "comfortable" with simple patterns. Most importantly, you won't get bored and you'll have fun…as long as ending a workout drenched in sweat is your kind of fun.
Workouts include a highly active warm up with a focus on running drills, ground work, and exercise matrices to ensure your body is learning to move in all 3 planes.
a variety of different workout programs in the past. I never found one program that offered me everything I was looking for: cardio, strength, mobility, and stability. Energy Lab was introduced to me as a training program that provides a well-rounded fitness experience, and it truly has changed my views on exercise. Trevor is as knowledgable as he is charismatic and motivating. He provides students with tailored workouts that meet their unique fitness goals and needs. I have attended his strength, running, and mobility/stability classes and continue to see marked improvements in my health and fitness. I never thought I could be as strong or fit as I have become and it is thanks to the education, workouts, and leadership of Trevor King and Energy Lab.

Polish Olympic Team – Rio de Janeiro 2016
Poland debuted at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 1924. The debut was successful and brought Poland two medals – a silver for the track cycling team and bronze for the horse rider Adam Królikiewicz in the show jumping competition. Since then, representatives of Poland have participated in every Summer Olympic Games (except for the games held in Los Angeles in 1984, when Poland's absence was due to political reasons). The first gold for Poland was won in Amsterdam in 1928 by the discus thrower Halina Konopacka.
Poland's athletes have won a total of 271 medals at the Summer Olympics (including 64 gold, 82 silver and 125 bronze medals). The most medals were won by track and field athletes, boxers, wrestlers and fencers. Poland won the largest haul of medals – 32 – in Moscow (1980), and the most gold medals – 7 – in Tokyo (1964), Munich (1972), Montreal (1976) and Atlanta (1996). Starting from Athens (2004), successive Olympic Games have added only 10 Olympic medals to Poland's achievements, and Poland's position in the world rankings has weakened. One of the reasons for this is the change in the "geography" of sport – many new, independent countries have been created. Sport has developed rapidly in Asia and Africa, which means it is more difficult to win a medal. The road to participation in the Olympics, leading through a complex system of qualifications, is also longer, especially for athletes from Europe. However, we are counting on the success of the Polish Olympic Team and the breaking of the 10-medal barrier.
The Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games (5–21 August 2016) will be the first such event in South America and – despite the 5-hour time difference – will certainly attract great interest in Poland, not only from sports fans. The WOMEN'S HAMMER THROW was included into the Olympic programme in Sydney in 2000. The inaugural competition was won by Kamila Skolimowska, who was just under 18 at the time.
She participated in two more Olympic Games (in Athens and Beijing). She broke the national record 15 times and was the Polish Champion 12 times. She died suddenly at a training camp in Portugal in February 2009. Her hammer-throwing friend, Anita Włodarczyk, is a worthy continuator of her achievements. She already has under her belt an Olympic silver medal (London 2012), two World Championship titles and the current world record. She is Poland's great hope for an Olympic medal in Rio de Janeiro.
MOUNTAIN BIKING (MTB) has only been a fully-fledged sports discipline for a quarter of a century and first appeared at the Olympic Games in Atlanta (1996). The sport gained a foothold in Poland relatively quickly and in the following years Poland began to achieve considerable success in this discipline. It is the women who have achieved the most success: Anna Szafraniec, Aleksandra Dawidowicz and super champion Maja Włoszczowska. Maja Włoszczowska was the vice Olympic Champion in Beijing (2008) and the winner of 20 (!) medals (including 4 gold) in the World and European Championships in various MTB competitions. She won a bronze medal at the First European Games (Baku 2015). She should also be a strong link in Poland's team in Rio.

Turkish (Türkçe), the westernmost of the Turkic languages, belongs to the Turkic branch of the Altaic language family. Turkey, by land mass, is positioned 95% in Asia and 5% in Europe. Thus, this article "Turkish Language in India" is part of Asian languages and not European languages in India.
The oldest written records are found upon stone monuments in Central Asia, in the Orhon, Yenisey and Talas regions within the boundaries of present-day Mongolia. They are the eighth century AD Orkhon inscriptions by the Göktürks, recording the Old Turkic language, which were discovered in 1889 in the Orkhon Valley in Mongolia.
It has a number of dialects such as Danubian, Dinler, Edirne, Eskisehir, Gaziantep, Karamanli, Razgrad, Rumelian, Urfa. Modern Standard Turkish is based on the variety spoken in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city.

This is a tip from my friend and former colleague Lynne, who is now greatly enjoying this herself as she's roaming the country retired!
From Lynne: Did you know that anyone age 62 or older can go to a U.S. Forest Service or National Park Service office and for $10 get a lifetime pass to all national parks, forests, national monuments, whatever? We went down to the NFS office in Rancho Bernardo (the other one around here is in Corona) and got one for Blair.
Now we get into all national parks for free, and we get roughly half-price at USFS campgrounds, which means we sometimes pay only about $6 per night to camp there. The only hassle is you have to go in person and show proof of age; you can't do it by mail.
It's really an outrageous giveaway, probably left over from when people didn't live so long or something. But think of how many RVers there are in their 60s and 70s and 80s who never have to pay an admission fee to get into a national park!
I went online and found the National Park Service Web site, which also includes information on other types of passes.
Here's the info on the senior pass, and note that if you are permanently disabled, you can get a pass for free!
This is a lifetime pass for U.S. citizens or permanent residents age 62 or over. The pass provides access to, and use of, Federal recreation sites that charge an Entrance or Standard Amenity fee. The pass admits the pass holder and passengers in a non-commercial vehicle at per vehicle fee areas and pass holder + 3 adults, not to exceed 4 adults, at per-person fee areas (children under 16 are admitted free). The pass can only be obtained in person at the park. The Senior Pass provides a 50 percent discount on some Expanded Amenity Fees charged for facilities and services such as camping, swimming, boat launch, and specialized interpretive services. In some cases where Expanded Amenity Fees are charged, only the pass holder will be given the 50 percent price reduction. The pass is non-transferable and generally does NOT cover or reduce special recreation permit fees or fees charged by concessionaires.

VANCOUVER, B.C.– BioteQ Environmental Technologies, Inc. (TSX: BQE), a leader in the treatment of industrial waste water, reports its financial and operating results for the year ended December 31, 2010. All figures are in Canadian dollars and are in accordance with Canadian GAAP, unless otherwise noted.
BioteQ treated approximately 8 billion litres of water and removed over 1 million kilograms (2.2 million pounds) of metal contaminants from the environment in 2010.
Significant achievements for the year included establishing three strategic alliances to expand BioteQ's market presence, the commercial-scale launch of BioteQ's Sulf-IX™ technologies for sulphate removal, and expansion of BioteQ's operations portfolio of projects. Projects included new permanent operations at the Minto Mine in the Yukon, construction of a third plant at the Dexing Mine in China, a new ChemSulphide® plant in the US, three new engineering projects, and three pilot operations to introduce new technologies and secure new customers.
Revenue increased by 37%, or $2.3 million over 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to higher copper prices, new operations, and an increase in fee-based projects.
Operating margin increased from $1.4 million in 2009 to $3.8 million in 2010.
The company encountered unexpected events in the fourth quarter that have impacted the overall financial results. First, the Bisbee operation experienced an unexpected shut-down which reduced copper production at the site. Second, NWM Mining defaulted on its lease obligations for the Lluvia de Oro site. Third, the company was unable to finalize an agreement with Birla Mt. Gordon to resume water treatment operations at the Mt. Gordon site.
The 2010 results include impairment charges of $7.5 million related to the Mt. Gordon operation and $8.3 million related to the Lluvia de Oro project, totaling $15.8 million.
The Company ended the year with working capital of $13.8 million, an increase of $6.1 million over 2009. The company carries no debt.
BioteQ has new projects for 2011 with Barrick Gold, EcoMetales, and Newalta, as well as a growing pipeline of projects for 2012 and beyond.
A web-based audio conference call to discuss the financial results is scheduled for Tuesday March 29 at 11:00 am Eastern. Participants can register for the conference call and access the presentation through the following link: http://bellwebcasting.ca/audience/index.asp?eventid=69030397.
The audio portion of the call may be accessed by dialing 416-340-2217, or 1-866-696-5910, reference number 3277435. A recording will be available on the BioteQ website within two days of the call.


Start Date: I can't remember. I think I started this last December and stopped sometime in January because I kept making too many mistakes. I restarted it again a couple of weeks ago.
I wanted to make this cardigan with the same yarn the book calls for, Jaeger Baby Matchmaker DK, but found it impossible to find the yarn in the colors the pattern calls for. The colors are either wrong or they were discontinued. I also tried finding errata for Jaeger pattern books to no avail. Really frustrating.

When Schools Resist Evaluating & Addressing Learning Disabilities
The repercussions of a missed diagnosis can last a lifetime. So why do some schools fail to identify learning differences in students with ADHD, causing them to fall behind?
By Nicole Kear Verified Updated on August 4, 2022
Almost two-thirds of children with ADHD have at least one other condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; 45 percent are affected by learning disorders, 32 percent by anxiety, 17 percent by a mood disorder, and 14 percent by autism spectrum disorder. Yet despite the prevalence of co-occurring conditions, experts in the field — advocates, learning specialists, and psychologists — report that many students with ADHD do not receive assessments for common comorbidities, at least initially.
Jackson's Story: Learning Differences Dismissed
Third grade was not going well for Jackson* of Brooklyn, New York. Diagnosed with ADHD at age 5, Jackson was in an integrated co-teaching class with an IEP in place, but his school aversion intensified with each passing day. "He would have these giant anxiety fits about going to school, saying, 'I hate it! It's boring!'" remembers his mother, Sarah.*
Before a parent-teacher conference, Sarah saw the other students' writings hanging on the classroom walls and began to understand Jackson's fears. "The other kids were writing full paragraphs and punctuating and spacing their words," she says. "My jaw dropped. I thought, 'Oh my God, what is going on? He is so far behind his classmates. How did I not know this?'"
When Sarah raised her concerns at Jackson's IEP meeting and asked for a learning disorder evaluation, she got pushback. "They were convinced that he couldn't spell or write [because of] hard-headedness," she explains. "The school was acting as though it was a behavior issue."
Eventually, Jackson received a school evaluation as well as private neuropsychological testing. It revealed that, in addition to ADHD, Jackson had dysgraphia and was cognitively gifted. Now in sixth grade, he is thriving, thanks to an understanding of his learning needs and appropriate technologies and supports. But getting that game-changing set of diagnoses was an exhausting six-year process.

"There was so much drama," says Sarah. "The teachers were frustrated, and it was a miserable thing for my son to be constantly told to do something he was not in a position to do."
When ADHD is Blamed
Jackson's story, or some version of it, is familiar to most special education advocates. The repercussions of a missed diagnosis can be enormous to a child. Without the proper supports in place, kids will struggle and fall behind in school, losing invaluable opportunities for remediation during critical windows of growth. And this will have dramatic ripple effects emotionally, socially, and behaviorally, says Cheryl Chase, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and founder of ChasingYourPotential.com.
The problem begins with a lack of testing, says Susan Yellin, a lawyer and director of advocacy and transition services at the Yellin Center for Mind, Brain, and Education in New York City. "A good evaluation has to be the starting place," she says.
"If you don't know what you're dealing with, how can you fix it?" says Matt Cohen, a lawyer and past president of CHADD. "There are so many different areas where ADHD may overlap with, or may mask, other problems that a more in-depth evaluation is good practice. I would even argue it's legally mandated… and a proactive responsibility."
[Read: How to Request a Special Education Evaluation]
Under a mandate covered in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) called Child Find, public schools are required to "identify and evaluate all students who are reasonably suspected of having a disability." This includes vision and hearing, social and emotional status, academic performance, and everything in between. In many cases, however, schools are not pursuing additional testing for kids with ADHD, despite requests from parents. The reasons for this include:
Symptoms of co-occurring conditions are often mistakenly attributed to ADHD or are conflated with behavioral issues
School budget constraints limit testing and support services that might be required
"When I see kids who are diagnosed with learning disabilities in sixth or seventh grade, they've had years of a script in their head that they're stupid and not good enough," says Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D., clinical psychologist and a clinical instructor of psychology at Harvard Medical School. "Kids deal with that differently: Some get anxious, some get depressed, and some become the class clown."
When LD Red Flags Go Unnoticed
The threads of multiple diagnoses can be difficult to untangle in a child with ADHD. "Co-existing conditions are often missed because the focal point, especially with hyperactive or impulsive kids, is on behavior that is perceived to be disruptive or problematic," Cohen says. "And that's as far as the initial investigation goes."
This was the case for Bradley April of Milton, Washington. He was diagnosed with ADHD at age 4. It took five years, and several evaluations paid for by his family, before he was diagnosed with dyslexia. His mother, Kim April, recalls that Bradley's explosive behavior began in first grade and steadily intensified until, by third grade, he was being removed from the classroom almost daily. "He was incredibly frustrated, and it was often expressed as avoidance, ripping up papers, flipping desks, and running from the classroom when he could not meet the expectations."
April says it was obvious to her that reading "had not clicked" for Bradley, but no one suggested additional testing, despite the red flags and discrepancies. "I feel that the school saw his struggles as related to ADHD, and they didn't look any further due to a lack of training, resources, or both," says April.
Chase adds that the executive function challenges posed by ADHD make uncovering learning disabilities especially challenging. If a child is inattentive or impulsive, how does an educator, therapist, parent, or even diagnostician know if the learning challenge stems from their executive functioning or another underlying issue? "You might not know," Chase says. "But if you've got at least a couple of data points, including teacher and parent reports that he's not reading well or that writing is a painful experience, for example, we can't ignore that." The next step, she says, should be further testing.
Cutting Corners on LD Evaluations
If experts agree that the best way to identify and address challenges is to evaluate a child fully and comprehensively, then why would schools ever resist additional assessments? "Unfortunately, sometimes, administrators are cutting corners on evaluations," says Beverley Holden Johns, president of the Learning Disabilities Association of Illinois. "If you don't do an evaluation that can determine a disability, you don't have to provide additional services. It's a way to save money."
There's an additional challenge, adds Olivardia: The evaluations that schools are equipped to offer may not be extensive enough to catch all co-occurring conditions. While a full neuropsychological evaluation isn't usually necessary to diagnose ADHD, he says, it is the standard for assessing learning disabilities. And schools simply aren't equipped to conduct these highly specialized, and expensive, evaluations.
Making education accessible for a child with ADHD tends to require accommodations — preferential seating, reminders, building in breaks — that largely can be offered in a general education classroom at little additional cost to schools. But for other conditions, particularly learning disabilities, far more expensive interventions are necessary, including instruction by specialists.
Even so, Yellin reminds parents that every child is entitled to an appropriate, free education that meets their needs. "This is not a present from the school," she says. "This is a right under federal law."
Taking a Closer Look
Each of the comorbid conditions commonly found in kids with ADHD has a different set of red flags. That said, the following signs should compel further investigation, according to Kathy Kuhl, a Virginia-based education consultant and founder of LearnDifferently.com.
Take additional steps if your child…
Continues to feel frustrated even though his ADHD is being managed
Avoids specific subjects at school
Refuses to go to school
Seems angry much of the time
Talks negatively about himself
If you suspect a learning difference. . .
Request an evaluation from the school in writing, Yellin says. A simple email stating, "I suspect my child has a disability and I am requesting an evaluation" will do. Under the IDEA, schools must investigate and evaluate all areas of suspected disability.
If the school refuses to evaluate: You have two choices, Cohen explains:
Seek a due process hearing to request that the school evaluate the child
Get your child evaluated privately if you can afford it or if you can find low or no-cost options. The school district is obligated to consider those findings, but it is not bound by them.
How SEPTA can help
A Special Education PTA, or SEPTA, is a parent-teacher organization in which parents of children with special needs, often from different schools within one district, come together to share resources, build community, plan workshops on topics of interest, and serve as a united voice to advocate for special needs students.
If SEPTA is not in your district, you can form one. Reach out to your state's PTA office and ask about how to get started. Members can include parents, guardians, teachers, aides, school therapists and administrators—anyone who wants to help support students with special needs.

Q: server.mappath null
Possible Duplicate:
HttpContext.Current.Server null

I have three projects in my ASP .NET solution:

*

*a class library

*a web application

*a windows service

I have a folder in my web application with an XML file. An XMLreader from class library function needs to be populated with this XML file. I have added this:
var reader = XmlReader.Create(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/TestDevice/Data.xml"), settings);

When this function is called from we application, It works.
When this function of class library is called from windows application, I get null reference at HttpContext.Current.Server because it is not available in windows application. I don't want to give hardcode path although that works for both windows and web application. Can I use some don't function to access files from different projects or any alternate of server.mappath. Please suggest solution
Thanks

A: System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory should do the trick.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.appdomain.basedirectory.aspx

Gets the base directory that the
  assembly resolver uses to probe for
  assemblies.

A: HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath alternative in windows application
file path using C#
HttpContext.Current.Server null
Asking the same basic question four different times isn't going to change the fact that you cannot use a Windows Service to access the web application path and the web app isn't going to know where your service is.
Use a configuration file to define where your data will be stored and provide the same info to both - or use some other storage for your data like a database which has a published location.

A: The simplest solution is probably to pass the path to the xml file into that function, rather than making the function itself clever enough to figure it out- then your web app could use the HttpContext method, and the Winforms app would use a regular path.  There is no equivalent of the MapPath method for WinForms or windows services.

There are many different reasons why we maintain our exercise and nutrition programs. Some more serious than others. Resistance or weight training has often been associated with appearance only. Many times the benefit of improving our health is forgotten, and becomes secondary, instead of primary, like it should.
There are many different reasons why we maintain our exercise and nutrition programs. Some more serious than others. Resistance or weight training has often been associated with appearance only. Many times the benefit of improving our health is forgotten, and becomes secondary, instead of primary, like it should. Everyone should really try to remember, that taking care of ourselves physically and mentally are two of the most important tasks each of us face every day. Please think about adopting this concept as your own. I would be willing to bet, that later in life you will be very glad you did.
If you have not done so, I challenge you to take a serious look at your fitness status and develop a passion that will drive you to remain active for life. It may be a poor doctors' visit, you may be overweight and sedentary, or maybe you are just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. For whatever purpose you come up with, just remember that your reason matters because it is important to you! And I have got to tell you that If it motivates you to eat right, exercise, get proper rest, take your vitamins, and drink plenty of water, it is worth it, and I am all for it.
I think everyone understands that as we age, the muscle on our bodies tends to decrease. More times than not our weight also increases as we age, but even if our weight stays the same, that lost muscle is usually being replaced by fat, which negatively impacts our composition. I challenge you to look at strength training as an effective way to counter this effect. Staying fit can also increase your life span. The odds of staying healthy and vibrant to the end of life is in the favor of those who are mentally and physically fit.
Please see the importance in staying fit for the rest of your life. All it takes is fulfilling the weekly required amount of proper exercise. Trust me, the bar is set low enough that everyone can succeed. Performing thirty minutes of physical activity most days of the week is a great goal to strive for. It is also important to remember that we do not want to over do it either. Always plan to Incorporate at least two rest days rest every week, and more if your body tells you too. Of course for most people, the problem isn't doing too much. It is doing too little, or nothing at all.
I think alongside exercising to stay healthy, there is great benefit for striving towards age specific improvement. For someone in their fifties, it may be more appropriate to increase strength exercises only 10 pounds this month versus 50 pounds like they might have twenty years earlier. I cannot emphasize the importance of setting realistic goals. Challenging yourself safely adds both spice and fulfillment to your program. When you are reaching your goals and having fun, chances are very high you will continue your program. Do it for all the many good reasons that support your health, fitness, and nutritional needs!.
We all know that consistency is the key, so plan your workouts weekly, and hold true to them, just like any important appointment on your calendar. Achieving and maintaining normal body weight and good fitness takes not only consistent workouts, but also healthy nutrition and portion control. It has been my experience that most people have more trouble adjusting to healthy eating than regular exercise. But I have also noticed that with time, focus, and effort the worst eaters can become very good ones. I see people making great results all the time simply by giving themselves a chance to attain fitness success everyday through goal commitment, and their active participation!
Great improvements to your health and fitness can be made with consistent workouts, solid nutrition, good vitamins, and great portion control. Strength training is so good for your mind, muscles, and bones. I encourage you to find a way to safely include it into your health improvement plan as a way of life. Weight lifting and fitness is not a cure all, but it is amazing how many people find that mental and chronic physical problems subside, or even disappear as they become fit.
Until next week stay active and please make it a healthy and nutritious day! To get started on healthy weight loss and nutrition products call Reggies Personal Training and Nutrition, 104 E. Main, Downtown Shawnee, (405) 613-0237, or message Reggie on Face Book at Reggies Personal Training and Nutrition.
