This chapter describes assignments used to teach the History of the English Language (HEL) and its contemporary counterpart the English Language in the World. In both of these courses, linguistic concepts can be linked to literary analysis, which helps students learn how to analyze code-switching and/or style-shifting in the context of a literary argument. For discovering and interpreting issues about the status and use of English around the world, students have a number of options. For example, after reading specific articles about slang generally and analyzing examples chosen in class, some students choose to write a final essay on slang or jargon used within online newspapers or films that represent different World Englishes (e.g., in Nigerian "Nollywood" films). Thus, World Englishes become realer for students rather than exotic abstractions or curious variants of English or American English.Less

Focus on Private Equity
Digital event hosted by LFF
10:30-12:00 (CET)
Private Equity has seen a decade long rise, with assets and dry powder rising to record levels. While the Covid-19 pandemic might have slowed global deal-making, the outlook for the sector remains bright, especially as equity valuations skyrocket and investors look for longer-term diversification.
Our first FOCUS ON event for 2021 delves into the largest sector within alternative investments. As pension funds increasingly move into this space, Edmund Truell, Co-Founder and former CEO of the Pension SuperFund, kicks us off on the topic of "Opening up PE to defined contribution pension funds." He is followed by David Dana, Head of VC Investments at the European Investment Fund, who will shed some light on the EU's PE and VC investments.
Our keynote speakers are followed by a panel discussion and an interview, with experts from across the industry.
As always, interactive polls will provide the audience with the opportunity to engage with our experts.

Jermaine O'Neal thinks he can beat Mike Tyson
By Ian Cameron Feb 23, 2006, 1:35pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Jermaine O'Neal thinks he can beat Mike Tyson
So the last time I predicted the outcome of a Pistons/Pacers game, I came up with this bit of genious:
But alas the Pacers, sans Jermaine O'Neal, shouldn't be much of a match for the Pistons either. So expect Delfino, Maurice Evans, and Carlos Arroyo to get plenty of court time tonight (for that matter, let's hope the game is far enough out of reach that we see some Darko, Dale Davis, and Jason Maxiell, as well).
The end result was a 93-85 Pacers win and a ruined Saturday night for me (and, by association, my fiance). At the time, the Pistons were amidst the back end of a road/road back-to-back, and the Pacers had been laying in wait with a few days of rest. While I still don't think that completely excuses the loss--after all, the Pacer's active roster that night looked like a CBA team--it must have played some role, right?
Not according to Jermaine O'Neal, who is perfectly willing to use that game to project the outcome of a potential Pacers/Pistons playoff series. According to today's Detroit News and Free Press, during the All-Star coverage on TNT, O'Neal told told Charles Barkley 1) that the Pacers match up well with the Pistons, 2) that he was hoping to face the Pistons in the first round of the playoffs, and 3) that if the Pacers were able to beat the Pistons while he was injured, you could imagine the result with him in the lineup. Flip, for one, doubts O'Neal really wants a piece of the NBA's best team.
"I think everybody, when you're the top team, a lot of teams, everyone says they want you," Saunders said. "I always say that usually when you speak out like that, usually it's the opposite. When you're saying you want something, usually you really don't want it. That's how it usually goes. The people that when they really want something usually you keep your mouth shut and hope that it happens and then take care of business. That's how it usually goes."
I have to agree with Flip. O'Neal has to know that a date with the inconsistent Heat or the marshmallow soft Nets in the first round would be a much preferable matchup for his Pacers than getting stomped by the Conference Champs.
Oh yeah, the title of the post. The first thing that popped into my mind when I heard O'Neal's comments was the Fresh Prince song "I think I can beat Mike Tyson." The Fresh Prince, like JO, had skillz. But no one--especially Iron Mike--was taking his words too seriously. And at least Will Smith was trying to make you laugh.

Q: Fitting empirical distribution against a hyperbolic distribution using scipy.stats At the moment, I am fitting empirical distributions against theoretical ones as  explained in Fitting empirical distribution to theoretical ones with Scipy (Python)?
Using the scipy.stats distributions, the results show a good fit for the hyperbolic secant distribution.
Here's my current approach using some of scipys distributions:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import scipy.stats
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Sample data with random numbers of hypsecant distribution
data = scipy.stats.hypsecant.rvs(size=8760, loc=1.93, scale=7.19)

# Distributions to check
dist_names = ['gausshyper', 'norm', 'gamma', 'hypsecant']

for dist_name in dist_names:

    dist = getattr(scipy.stats, dist_name)

    # Fit a distribution to the data
    param = dist.fit(data)

    # Plot the histogram
    plt.hist(data, bins=100, normed=True, alpha=0.8, color='g')

    # Plot and save the PDF
    xmin, xmax = plt.xlim()
    x = np.linspace(xmin, xmax, 100)
    p = dist.pdf(x, *param[:-2], loc=param[-2], scale=param[-1])
    plt.plot(x, p, 'k', linewidth=2)
    title = 'Distribution: ' + dist_name
    plt.title(title)
    plt.savefig('fit_' + dist_name + '.png')
    plt.close()

which delivers plots like the following:

But I would like to test the fit against a (generalized) hyperbolic distribution as well since I have the assumptions that it might deliver an even better fit.
Is there a hyperbolic distribution in scipy.stats that I can use? Or is there any workaround?
Using other packages would also be an option.
Thanks in advance!

A: As your distribution is not in scipy.stats you can either add it to the package or try doing things "by hand".
For the former have a look at the source code of the scipy.stats package - it might not be all that much work to add a new distribution!
For the latter option you can use a maximum Likelihood approach. To do so define first a method giving you the pdf of the distribution. Based on the pdf construct a function calculating the log likelihood of the data given specific parameters of the distribution. Finally fit your model to the data by maximizing this log likelihood function using scipy.optimize.

Every parent wants to make her kids healthy, fit and strong. A parent must give their kid nutritious foods and teach him hygienic habits in order for him to stay healthy. But when he is experiencing pain, the parent would automatically and immediately give medications to soothe the pain even if it means checking through their medicine cabinets. The question is if the Tramadol in your shelf can lessen your kid's pain or worsen it.Tramadol is a highly known analgesic. It is used even during the 1970s and is one of the common names that you can think of when talking about pain management. This drug can relive pain disorders quickly and effectively like migraines, chronic pains and surgery pains.
Taking Tramadol is also safer than other drugs with different opioid compounds because it has less addictive effects in the brain. It also stops the reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine that trigger mood swings and depression, effects similar to the antidepressant venlafaxine. That means that you will have lesser risk of having prescription drug addiction even if you are taking it regularly.

Malaysian democracy flourishing, says Rudd
By Katharine Murphy, Putrajaya and Malaysia
PRIME Minister Kevin Rudd says Malaysia is a vibrant and flourishing democracy, although he avoided meeting a politician regarded as the country's de facto opposition leader.
Mr Rudd said yesterday that the strength of democracy in Malaysia was a "great testament to the political wisdom of the people of this country".

"Democracy is not just alive and well in Malaysia but flourishing," Mr Rudd said after meeting his Malaysian counterpart, Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi.
"What has been great for us all to see in the councils of the world is the strength of Malaysia's diplomatic processes," he said in response to a question about human rights in Malaysia.
Mr Abdullah said the leaders of the two countries could discuss any issue.
Mr Rudd chose not to meet high-profile Malaysian politician Anwar Ibrahim on this, his first state visit to Malaysia as Prime Minister.
Malaysia has been rocked by sensational claims in recent weeks, with Mr Anwar embroiled in controversy over fresh allegations of sodomy following 1998 claims that led to his imprisonment. Adding to the turmoil, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak has been accused of an affair with a woman who was subsequently killed.
Meeting Mr Anwar would have meant that Mr Rudd departed from the usual protocols, and would have created diplomatic tensions with his host.
Lowy Institute Asian affairs specialist Malcolm Cook said dramatic allegations of sodomy and counter-claims of a murder conspiracy showed the "colourful" state of Malaysian politics.
But "for the first time in modern Malaysian history, the potential for a change of government is quite strong", he said.
Mr Rudd has been keen to place Australia's relationship with Malaysia on a more even footing. He said Australia and Malaysia were entering a new phase in which the partnership would be built on working together in the region and the world.
The two leaders unveiled a number of initiatives, with education a central theme.
The measures include a joint program to encourage the training of teachers in Afghanistan, and a relaxation of holiday visa requirements to allow university students to visit each country and work.
The two leaders also discussed world and regional trade issues, and this week's Group of Eight summit in Hokkaido, which delivered a deadlock between rich and poorer nations on the measures required to combat climate change.
"I always have the view that developed countries could do more (than the developing world)," Mr Abdullah said.
But he had a message for the region as well. Such countries as Japan, China and India were expressing strong views on climate change, he said, but fixed and resolute positions were not helping to find a solution.
China and India have taken the stance, repeated at the G8 summit, that binding emissions reductions targets will destroy their legitimate aspirations for economic growth.
Mr Rudd addressed a business lunch and a state dinner in Kuala Lumpur last night, and had an audience with the King of Malaysia.
He is due to arrive in Canberra this morning.

This coming year will be busy travelling from pole to pole with the first trip of the season in May. Beginning in Scotland we will be sailing on board the M/S Expedition owned by G Adventures through the Norwegian Fjords and then onward to Svalbard. I will be staying on for the next trip as we head to the far north and ail be photography instructor while on board.
Returning in September, I am excited to be sailing to Greenland and Iceland for the first time.
The year will close with my annual return to Antarctica in December.


Last night we performed for a roomful of young Lutherans on their annual youth retreat in Marshall, Michigan, for the second straight year. Last year we were very pleasantly surprised at the good reception we received at our first show for that age group, and this year was even better. Apparently our fame had preceded us...several of the young people identified themselves as "Issues, Etc." listeners when we were being introduced, and when we started singing our song "Hey, Preacher Man," which frequently appears as bumper music on that show, I couldn't believe the number of digital cameras and cell phones that suddenly got pointed at us! A number of the young people said later that they'd heard the song on the show and hadn't realized it was us. It was a great night, and we had a great time talking to the youth.

The VAL Awards 2021
VAL has taken the incredibly tough decision to move the VAL Awards from October this year to March 2022.
We have been blown away by the number of nominees and the amount of people who have stepped up throughout the pandemic and in order to give them all the recognition they deserve, we want to ensure that we have enough time to go through all the nominations in a timely manner, as well as meeting with as many of the nominees as possible.
Nominations have been put on hold until further notice
It's time for us to celebrate the truly amazing inspirational leaders, unsung heroes and those that have gone above and beyond over the last 18 months.
This auspicious awards evening will take place at the stunning Grove Suite at Marriott Hotel in Leicester In March 2022. (New date and more information to follow)
This year, there will be 11 Award Categories. Find out more about each award category.
City Charity of the Year
This award is to recognise those groups based in and delivering services in Leicester city, and the fantastic work they do to improve our inner-city communities.
Must be based within and deliver services within the City of Leicester
County Charity of the Year
This award is to recognise those groups based in and delivering services in Leicestershire, and the fantastic work they do to improve our rural and county communities.
Must be based within and deliver services within the Leicestershire area (Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley & Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire and Oadby & Wigston districts)
Social Enterprise of the Year
An organisation doesn't have to be a 'traditional' charity in order to give something back. A social enterprise is a business which invests the majority of its profits into social good within the community, but it can also be the trading arm of a charity. This award is to recognise those social enterprises based in and delivering services in Leicester City and/or Leicestershire, and the continued excellent work they provide supporting their local communities.
Organisation must meet the broad definition of a social enterprise
Must be based in Leicester or Leicestershire (Leicester city, Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley & Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire and Oadby & Wigston districts)
CSR Champion of the Year
Businesses who work with their local Communities are organisations who are dedicated to making the community, and the world, a better place; they deserve recognition for the continued work and support that they provide. They can also be a realistic force for good and social change.
They must be a Registered Business (https://www.gov.uk/get-information-about-a-company)
Volunteer-Led Organisation of the Year
Not all community groups are able to secure or generate enough funding to pay staff. Many rely heavily, or sometimes entirely, on volunteers to deliver services. This award is for those charities whose selfless work in our local communities often goes completely unrecognised.
Must have a minimal number of paid staff, with the majority of staff being volunteers
Must be based in, or deliver services in, the Leicester or Leicestershire areas (Leicester city, Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley & Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire and Oadby & Wigston districts)
Trustee of the Year
Trustees are volunteers who give up their own time to guide the administration and governance of charities. Even though they're not paid, Trustees take on a lot of personal and legal responsibility. We want to recognise those individuals who help to keep our voluntary sector running smoothly and responsibly.
Must be a trustee of a charity based in Leicester or Leicestershire (Leicester city, Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley & Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire and Oadby & Wigston districts)
Must have been a trustee Since 1 Jan 2020
Must be registered as a trustee on the Charity Commission database
COVID Hero
This award is dedicated to the individuals, community groups, charities, or businesses of all ages throughout Leicester and Leicestershire who have worked tirelessly to support those in need, and gone above and beyond to help others during this very difficult time.
Can be an individual or an organisation
Nominees must be based in Leicester or Leicestershire (Leicester city, Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley & Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire and Oadby & Wigston districts)
Young Volunteer of the Year
Young Volunteers are just exceptional. These outstanding individuals are the future of the Charity and Voluntary Sector and should be recognised for their continued hard work, especially over the last 12 to 18 months.
Must have volunteered in 2020/21
Must have volunteered for an organisation based in Leicester or Leicestershire (Leicester city, Blaby, Charnwood, Harborough, Hinckley & Bosworth, Melton, North West Leicestershire and Oadby & Wigston districts)
Volunteers selflessly give up their own time to help others. Though most volunteers offer their time with no expectations of rewards, we want to recognise those extra-special individuals who have gone above and beyond to help their local communities.
Overall Charity of the Year
The winner of this award will be chosen by our judges from the winners of the other Charity of the Year categories.
VAL has been around for over 50 years – this special award is chosen by us to recognise an organisation or individual that we feel has had a significant impact on our voluntary sector. It's a way for us to say a personal thanks to someone we feel has made a particularly important contribution to our local communities.
All of these awards will be available for sponsorship, and for the first time ever, there will be a 'buy an extra table' gifting option. All sponsorship details can be obtained from Jon Woodcock on: valawards@valonline.org.uk
VAL reserves the right to change this date.
You are only able to nominate an individual or an organisation twice, maximum. (For example you can only nominate for 2 awards).
Nominees will be sorted into the relevant categories by VAL based on the information provided on this page. VAL's decision on which category a nominee falls into will be final.
Nominated organisations will be asked to provide additional information, which will be given to judges in order to be scored against.
VAL may contact anyone who provides a nomination to ask for more information about the nominee.
VAL reserves the right to have the final say on which nominations will be passed forward to the judging panel and on the award winners.
Current VAL staff and volunteers will not be eligible to receive awards.
Nominees will be asked if they want to be a part of the awards. If nominees do not agree to participate, or do not return the information for the judging panel, they will not be progressed to the judging stage.

As an adolescent Alberto Manguel had the privilege of reading aloud to Jorge Luis Borges, who was by now blind, on a weekly basis. Judging from this new novel, Borges not only imbued Manguel with a great love of reading, which has informed the latter's oeuvre, but also with a gift for mischief. In All Men Are Liars, the author has written a meticulously constructed and brilliantly executed discourse on the nature of truth and writing. Moreover, he has managed to create a work that is expertly weighted: at once Latin American in spirit and yet universal in its reach.

SCS Global Services Recognized by Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative as Approved Audit Firm for Conflict-Free Smelter Program
EMERYVILLE, Calif. , Aug 9, 2017
Leading third-party certifier SCS Global Services (SCS) announced today that it has been formally approved as a Conflict-Free Smelter Program (CFSP) audit firm by the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative (CFSI). As a result, SCS is now approved to audit smelters and refiners of tantalum, tin, tungsten and gold (3TG) against the CFSP Protocols.
The CFSP protocols provide the highest level of due diligence available today for assuring that refiners and smelters are not indirectly funding armed conflict when purchasing cassiterite for tin, wolframite for tungsten, coltan for tantalum, and gold. Today's approval confirms conformance with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas, and with Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The CFSI, founded in 2008, offers multiple programs and services to help companies and their suppliers address conflict mineral issues in their supply chains. CFSP, the organization's flagship program, relies on third-party auditors such as SCS to verify smelters and refiners as "conflict-free."
"We are pleased to be an approved auditing firm, and to be able to participate in this important industry-led responsible sourcing effort," said Neil Mendenhall, Director of Service Development for SCS' Environmental Certification Services division. "SCS is well positioned to bring our deep understanding of and experience in complex manufacturing supply chains to this collaboration and partnership with smelters and refiners." For instance, SCS is an established third-party auditor for the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) and Signet Responsible Sourcing Protocol (SRSP), assessing responsibly sourced minerals and jewelry, and an accredited third-party certifier for the Alliance for Responsible Mining and more than 80 other environmental and sustainability certification programs worldwide.
SCS earned CFSI approval after months of conducting audits to demonstrate its capacity to perform the assessments at the high level of quality required.
"We expect to see a growing demand for verification now that Europe and other countries around the world are following the US' lead on this issue," said Mendenhall ([email protected]; +1.510.452.8031.)
SCS Global Services (SCS) has been providing global leadership in third-party environmental and sustainability certification, auditing, testing, and standards development for more than three decades. Programs span a cross-section of industries, recognizing achievements in mineral extraction, green building, manufacturing, food and agriculture, forestry, jewelry and apparel, and much more. SCS is a benefit corporation, reflecting its commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business practices. For more information, visit www.scsglobalservices.com
About the Conflict-Free Sourcing Initiative
Founded in 2008 by members of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition and the Global e-Sustainability Initiative, CFSI has grown into one of the most utilized and respected resources for companies from a range of industries addressing conflict minerals issues in their supply chains. Over 350 companies and associations from seven different industries participate in the CFSI today. CFSI regularly collaborates with other complementary programs and initiatives in this arena.

Keep on walking
News and blogs | 04 Oct 2011
Zulema Cardenas, MRG's Street Theatre Project Coordinator, is in the Dominican Republic to catch performances of an innovative new theatre piece designed to challenge racism in the Caribbean country
I'm in the Dominican Republic visiting MUDHA (Dominico-Haitian Women's Association, MRG's partner in the country) as they perform theatre around the streets of Santo Domingo to challenge discrimination against Haitians and Haitian descendants. I'm with a team of great artists and fantastic professional and non-professional actors from the majority and minority groups in the country.
"We will keep on walking no matter what!"
That's Baniris final statement after talking about the stateless situation of Haitian descendants in the Dominican Republic. Baniris is one of the young actresses taking part in MRG's Street Theatre Project. Today she is performing together with other Haitian descendants from the bateyes and some professional actors from Santo Domingo University. It's a somewhat sad and ironic moment since Baniris hasn't been admitted to university due to her lack of Dominican citizenship (despite having being born here and a having a brilliant student record). The authorities consider her a person "in transit" from Haiti, as well as her wider family, after 50 years of working and living in the Dominican Republic…
Baniris is finally at the university denouncing this situation and her father is watching her performance. An audience of around 300 people are with him, laughing and nodding in agreement with its sentiments. Afterwards the public is asked to debate the situation portrayed in the play. Many of them are eager to express their disagreement with the current situation and their experiences of discrimination within the country. They tell us that Haitian descendents, and even Dominicans with African ancestors, are discriminated against in daily life and are frequently denied basic rights such as education, access to the health system and participation in decision-making processes.
Back at MUDHA's headquarters the actors talk about what they've gained from participating in this project. The professional actors talk about a great learning and life experience because of meeting the youngsters and communities from the bateyes. On the other hand the young people from the bateyes express that they feel they now are worth listening to and are more able to speak up about their situation in front of thousands of people.
One of the young men says, "I now feel I can talk to everybody as an equal, even if this person is from the city or if they are white person. And I feel I really have the right to complain." Then Baniris says, "I think this project is helping us to keep on walking, we have learned a lot and developed our skills. All this might be an alternative to our lives in the bateyes. I feel we can succeed."

Tetsu and I went on an outing again yesterday. I didn't realize we were going to be outdoors nor that it was still going to be so hot! We ended up at a flower/amusement park.
"I want t0 ride the ferris wheel!"
It was air-conditioned! So nice. Around we went and had a bird's eye view of the park. No... I don't want to ride exciting rides. No... it's too hot to play miniature golf. But I DO want to rent bicycles!
Tetsu commented that it has been years and years since he's been on a bicycle.
We were near the ocean.
We went down to the shore and played around in the waves. Our prefecture is one of the few in Japan that doesn't have a coastline (a lot of mountains and hot springs) so this was a treat for me.


Our school is situated above the town and river of Waitara and adjacent to Owae Marae which makes our school a special place for learning.
You can be confident that your child's learning experiences will provide opportunities in academic, sporting, cultural and social activities that develop further their skills and abilities.
The caring nature, the service to others, the academic excellence, and the sporting and cultural interests of the staff will be available to ensure that the foundation for continued learning is paramount.

I don't want a "normal" job because nothing about normalcy appeals to me. Well, except for drinking hot tea on a comfy couch in my pj's while the sun wakes up, rubbing the sleepies out of the warming sky. That appeals to me. But other than that and the occasional steakhouse steak, I don't want normal. What I do want is a life that lets me be active and productive while exploring fresh places and encountering new people, cultures, lifestyles and ideas.
That's right. I could workout all day, thus giving me all the endorphins I will need to get through my cold, sleepless nights living out of my beautiful blue tent. It would start out slow and painful, of course, gradually becoming fast and painful, but potentially shifting into sponsorship (Peter Pan peanut butter should probably be my first), some nice prize winnings, and races all over the world calling me night and day asking me to make an appearance. I would have to choose carefully so as not to build too great of a name for myself too quickly, but I think all in all it could be quite the endeavor, yeah?
but i hear a song.
I'm feeling compelled to write a bit so I figured why not share it with a few people.
My soul is overwhelmed; I am full and empty at the very same time. There's a beauty I believe in, a beauty I cannot shake, and I want more than anything to get lost in it.. all day, every day. I want it to be my life.
I'm not my "successful" brother. I'm not my overachieving sister. I'm not my practical, set-for-life best friend. I'm not my endlessly working dad. I'm not.. a lot of things.
but I hear a song. It's inside of me.. deep, deep inside of me. And it wants to come out. It wants to flow out of me and be my life, not just a part of my life. It wants to carry me away with every progression and every note, be them right or wrong..
I'm not afraid to fail. I'm not afraid to take a chance. What I'm afraid of is not taking any chances; of living a reasonable, safe, typical life. It seems to work for a lot of people, a whole lot of people, actually, and there's a lot I have yet to figure out about myself..
but I know enough to know that's not the life I want. I know enough to know that life will never fullfill me, satisfy me, bring me life, "work" for me. And I really don't want it to.
With the very life of Christ pulsing through my veins, I refuse to settle for anything less than LIFE, and that to the very fullest. To settle for anything less is to forfeit the truly incredible capacity of what I believe in more than I believe in anything else.. and that's something my insides won't let me do.

Car Wash Business: Learn How to Start a Car Wash Business?
In today's times, a car is no longer just a vehicle to help you travel from one place to another. It is a symbol of style, success, and luxury. If you are a car enthusiast, and want to make your career with them, one simple option is to start a car detailing business.
Unlike automobile engineering, which requires a good amount of technical education, a car detailing business can be started by anyone who has a love for cars, has an eye for business, and passion to succeed. The truth is, if you have sufficient resources, you can easily start a car detailing business within a few weeks. Read on to know more.
There are a couple of steps that need to be taken before you start your business.
Dig into Research: These days, everybody knows that you cannot, or rather should not just jump into starting a business. Take the time to do extensive research. This will help you understand the industry in general, and allow you to find a niche where your strength and talents will be put to good use. Learn about fixed and mobile auto detailing. Find out about the general and extra services that detailing businesses usually offer. Make a list of the tools and products you will need such as steam cleaners, upholstery cleaning machines, carpet cleaners, polishing equipment, etc. You can visit a few successful detailing businesses in the city; observe and learn their unique selling points.
Get Certified: The best way to do this is to join an auto detailing school. They will provide knowledge on how to run the technical aspects of the business, and certify you as an official auto detailer. They can also help you to create your marketing plan and increase your clientele.
Legalize It! Many states and countries require you to get an official permit to start your business. This will also make a difference in terms of insurance, so make sure that this is taken care of at the earliest.
How to Start Your Car Detailing Business?
Once these preliminary steps are completed, you are ready to take the next steps to starting your auto detailing business.
Invest in Auto Detailing Machines: The right detailing machines can make a world of difference to your car washing services. It is imperative that you purchase a pressure washer, car steam cleaner, and carpet cleaner. Choose the equipment with the appropriate water and steam temperatures and pressures to effectively get rid of grime, dust, bugs, grease, and oil stains.
Insure It! This is an extremely important point. Insure your shop and equipment before you begin as this will safeguard your business in case of any break-ins, equipment failure, or natural disasters.
Work out a Marketing Plan: Create a strategy that will highlight the unique advantages of your business. Make sure to create a comprehensive payment plan that will allow your customers to get the best out of each service. Create posters, business cards, and fliers that you can distribute around the city.
Start your Business: Get an ad published in local newspapers. Distribute posters and business cards to local businesses associated with the auto detailing industry. If possible, put up ads on social networking sites and link them to your business website. Put up a decal on the window of your car. Another unique way to market your business is to start a referral system. You can give discounts to clients who bring in new customers.
With little patience, hard work, and lots of passion, you can soon turn your startup into a successful auto detailing business.

Given the above array structure, I am trying to sort the keys ["boat"], ["sled"], ["car"] by the first date key in their respective sub-arrays. So the correct key order would now be car, boat, sled. Is there an elegant or easy way to do this with PHP?

A: Use uasort() to sort the array with a user-supplied comparison function, keeping the keys of the associative array.
function compare_first_key_date($a, $b) {
    $a_keys = array_keys($a);
    $a_date = strtotime($a_keys[0]);
    $b_keys = array_keys($b);
    $b_date = strtotime($b_keys[0]);
    return $a_date - $b_date;
}
uasort($array, 'compare_first_key_date');

A: You'll need to use uasort and compare the first key value of each array. Cast to a timestring using strtotime to simplify date comparisons:
<?php

$array = array(
  "car" => array(
     "12/11/1989" => "first element",
     "6/14/2011" => "second element",
     "5/2/2012" => "third element",
  ),
  "sled" => array(
    "1/15/2001" => "first element",
    "4/14/2004" => "second element",
    "5/23/2005" => "third element",
  ),
  "boat" => array(
    "12/1/1999" => "first element",
    "6/14/2000" => "second element",
    "8/23/2000" => "third element",
  ),
);

uasort($array, function($a, $b) {
    $ts1 = strtotime(reset(array_keys($a)));
    $ts2 = strtotime(reset(array_keys($b)));
    if ($ts1 === $ts2) {
        return 0;
    }
    return ($ts1 < $ts2) ? -1 : 1;
});

var_export($array);

Which will output:
array (
  'car' =>
  array (
    '12/11/1989' => 'first element',
    '6/14/2011' => 'second element',
    '5/2/2012' => 'third element',
  ),
  'boat' =>
  array (
    '12/1/1999' => 'first element',
    '6/14/2000' => 'second element',
    '8/23/2000' => 'third element',
  ),
  'sled' =>
  array (
    '1/15/2001' => 'first element',
    '4/14/2004' => 'second element',
    '5/23/2005' => 'third element',
  ),
)

Horse Swap Goes Unpunished by FEI
December 2, 2014 | Comments
by: FEI
The FEI has announced that, following completion of an in-depth investigation into allegations of a switch of horses by Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum during the 2012 FEI World Endurance Championships in Euston Park (GBR), no legal action can be taken for procedural reasons and due to a lack of conclusive evidence.
The FEI's statement reads:
Following receipt of the findings of the investigation last month, the FEI has now evaluated the legal and procedural aspects of the case and it has become clear that, under the rules applicable at the time of the incident in 2012, essential deadlines were missed. Without legal proceedings being initiated within the specified timelines and through the correct channels, the FEI is unable to proceed with the case.
"It is very disappointing that it took such a long time to come to this conclusion", FEI Secretary General Ingmar De Vos said, "but this thorough investigation has allowed us to identify some loopholes in our own procedures with regard to the identification of horses through microchips and documents such as FEI passports, recognition cards and duplicates. I have asked our Legal Department to look at our procedures to identify how we can avoid similar issues occurring in the future."
Prior to receiving the final report, the FEI had already initiated a detailed review of its administrative processes, putting mechanisms in place that now provide much greater control over the registration and identification of horses. Further proposed changes to the Veterinary Regulations to improve traceability and accurate verification of horses' identity will be voted on at next month's FEI General Assembly.
The FEI is to conduct a full review of its legal system in 2015, including its rules and sanctions. Proposals for change will go to the FEI Bureau for consideration prior to being voted on by the National Federations at the 2015 FEI General Assembly.

A smooth, round ball of leaves that turn sweeter with cooking.
Round in shape, with tightly packed layers of leaves, white cabbage is the most common of the cabbages. They can vary in colour from very white to mid green, although the inner leaves are usually pale. This vegetable is a member of the brassica—or cabbage—family, also known as a cruciferous vegetable.
Eat white or green cabbage raw in coleslaws, or steam or stir-fry for a maximum of 3 minutes to preserve health benefits.

The simultaneous merging of giant galaxies
Research team discovers three supermassive black holes at the core of one galaxy
An international research team led by scientists from Göttingen and Potsdam proved for the first time that the galaxy NGC 6240 contains three supermassive black holes.
The irregular galaxy NGC 6240. New observations show that it harbours not two but three supermassive black holes at its core. The northern black hole (N) is active and was known before. The zoomed-in new high-spatial resolution image shows that the southern component consists of two supermassive black holes (S1 and S2). The green colour indicates the distribution of gas ionized by radiation surrounding the black holes. The red lines show the contours of the starlight from the galaxy and the length of the white bar corresponds to 1000 light years.

The unique observations, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, show the black holes close to each other in the core of the galaxy. The study points to simultaneous merging processes during the formation of the largest galaxies in the universe.
Massive Galaxies like the Milky Way typically consist of hundreds of billions of stars and host a black hole with a mass of several million up to several 100 million solar masses at their centres. The galaxy known as NGC 6240 is known as an irregular galaxy due to its particular shape.

Until now, astronomers have assumed that it was formed by the collision of two smaller galaxies and therefore contains two black holes in its core. These galactic ancestors moved towards each other at velocities of several 100 km/s and are still in the process of merging.
The galaxy system which is around 300 million light years away from us - close by cosmic standards - has been studied in detail at all wavelengths, and has so far been regarded as a prototype for the interaction of galaxies.
"Through our observations with extremely high spatial resolution we were able to show that the interacting galaxy system NGC 6240 hosts not two - as previously assumed - but three supermassive black holes in its centre," reports Professor Wolfram Kollatschny from the University of Göttingen, the lead author of the study.
Each of the three heavyweights has a mass of more than 90 million Suns. They are located in a region of space less than 3000 light-years across, i.e. in less than one hundredth of the total size of the galaxy. "Up until now, such a concentration of three supermassive black holes had never been discovered in the universe," adds Dr Peter Weilbacher of the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP). "The present case provides evidence of a simultaneous merging process of three galaxies along with their central black holes."
The discovery of this triple system is of fundamental importance for understanding the evolution of galaxies over time. Until now it has not been possible to explain how the largest and most massive galaxies, which we know from our cosmic environment in the "present time", were formed just by normal galaxy interaction and merging processes over the course of the previous 14 billion years approximately, ie the age of our universe.
"If, however, simultaneous merging processes of several galaxies took place, then the largest galaxies with their central supermassive black holes were able to evolve much faster," Peter Weilbacher summarizes. "Our observations provide the first indication of this scenario."
For the unique high-precision observations of the galaxy NGC 6240 using the 8 metre VLT, a telescope operated by the European Southern Observatory in Chile, the 3D MUSE spectrograph was used in spatial high-resolution mode together with four artificially generated laser stars and an adaptive optics system. Thanks to the sophisticated technology, images are obtained with a sharpness similar to that of the Hubble Space Telescope but additionally contain a spectrum for each image pixel. These spectra were decisive in determining the motion and masses of the supermassive black holes in NGC 6240.
The scientists assume that the observed, imminent merging of the supermassive black holes in a few million years will also generate very strong gravitational waves. In the foreseeable future, signals of similar objects can be measured with the planned satellite-based gravitational wave detector LISA and further merging systems can be discovered.

Looks the like the latest big ice 'n' snow event slid by northeastern Illinois. It seems a little soon for winter stasis, but maybe it's here -- that flat period of constant cold, snow cover without meltage and gray skies, but not much in the way of blizzard or ice-storm drama. Usually these conditions settle in here sometime in early to mid-February.
Over the weekend I did a spot of parental duty by taking both girls to see Hotel for Dogs, a movie that flitted from one implausibility to another, all the way to an embarrassingly implausible happy ending. There was a moment, about 20 minutes before said embarrassingly implausible happy ending, when the main human characters -- an older sister and a younger brother, both orphaned by their back-story -- were separated by Social Services and condemned to live in group homes, the modern equivalent of orphanages. The dogs of the title, following their temporarily happy lives in the hotel of the title, had all been rounded up by Animal Control and were slated for death. That's where I wanted the movie to end.
It would have tested well with me, but probably not the target audience. Ann, on the verge of turning six, proclaimed the movie "great," so she's definitely in the target audience. Lilly, now 11, said it was "pretty good," so I figure she's edging away from kiddie movies, as she should. After all, she's busy reading Twilight right now.
I'll say Hotel for Dogs was "tolerable." Fortunately, the large number of dogs in the movie, of various breeds, did not talk in voiceovers or read or write or drive cars. They occasionally did funny things, and occasionally veered toward the anthropomorphic, but not too much. At the very beginning of the movie, a dog is depicted as seeking out food by his sense of smell, which was a moderately artful and certainly unusual bit of moviemaking -- and which the director didn't much use again.
I was also able to entertain myself guessing exactly where the movie was supposed to be set. The kids and their dogs lived in a distinctly urban environment that I took for Manhattan for a short while, though occasionally California license plates were visible.
Turns out the movie was set in that all-purpose place, "Center City," a hoary movie convention that could well go back to Mack Sennett. Maybe the real reason it isn't any particular place is to avoid insulting the animal control authorities of that jurisdiction, because Center City's animal control men were goons who seemed to relish the prospect of offing the dogs. Maybe the movie should have been called Hotel Rwanda for Dogs.
