Other than the obvious—PRIVACY—why in fact do we really need to have window treatments in our home or business interiors?
Window treatments are a beautiful and functional way to complete your room's interior design.
Simply put, window treatments can be the icing on the cake! (If we imagine your room is a cake…mmm.) Ahem, when we're not thinking about dessert, window treatments can actually be used to solve architectural or lighting dilemmas in the room. A room that is too bright or too dark at certain times of the day can benefit tremendously with the right type of window treatments. For instance, if your family room or media room have west-facing windows and get lots of direct sunlight in the early evening when you are watching television, window treatments can help you solve that problem. Conversely, if your room is too dark, light and airy window treatments that provide a little privacy while also allowing lots of light to enter the room can be just the right solution.
We can use window treatments to correct the echoes of a room.
Echo, echo! Yes, even rooms that aren't at the precipice of the Grand Canyon can project a harsh tone or even give off that cavernous feeling. Window treatments can be used not only to soften the volume of a space, but they can also soften the appearance of the space itself. This challenge often occurs in new homes where there are no existing window treatments or in homes that are more modern in design. We pride ourselves in being able to find just the right type of window treatments to maintain the design integrity of a room, and also to make a huge difference in creating an inviting space, called "your home".
Some examples of how window treatments can enhance a room.
This room was a little tricky due to the different sized windows. There is a small sitting area in this master bedroom that was flanked by a large three pane picture window and a tall narrow window. Next to the bed is a smaller window high up on the wall. Certainly, this is a challenge given their close proximity. We chose to unify the room using matching valence styles. These matching valances were paired with layered shades underneath to address light and privacy concerns. Panels were added to the larger windows for romance and drama. All of it was brought together elegantly with decorative hardware.
Another master bedroom that required beautiful and sophisticated window treatments, but this time they needed to be durable. This home belonged to a family with pets and children. The parents wanted a sophisticated look, with a solution that offered both privacy and a way to darken the room at nap time. We used these plantation shutters to add a hint of Southern charm with easy light and privacy control. Decorative treatments can always be added at a later date, which we find happens many times.
As interior designers, when we first saw this room we were both struck by the wall of beautiful windows and light. The last thing they and the home owners wanted to do was to cover those amazing windows with yards of fabric. The magnificent moldings, wood and stone fireplace screamed for something special. So "columns" of fabric were designed with custom-made cornices to add to and complement the dramatic architecture. We must say our clients were delighted!!!
If you need help deciding what the best options are for covering or enhancing the windows in your home or office, contact us today.

Q: What is CGinterpolationquality? I've implemented a camera into my app and I wanted to know what CGinterpolationquality is. There isn't much documentation on what it does.

A: From the CGContext Reference:

Returns the current level of interpolation quality for a graphics context.
Interpolation quality is a graphics state parameter that provides a hint for the level of quality to use for image interpolation (for example, when scaling the image). Not all contexts support all interpolation quality levels.

Furthermore...

CGInterpolationQuality
Levels of interpolation quality for rendering an image.

enum CGInterpolationQuality {
   kCGInterpolationDefault = 0,
   kCGInterpolationNone = 1,
   kCGInterpolationLow = 2,
   kCGInterpolationMedium = 4,
   kCGInterpolationHigh = 3
};
typedef enum CGInterpolationQuality CGInterpolationQuality;

kCGInterpolationDefault: The default level of quality.
kCGInterpolationNone: No interpolation.
kCGInterpolationLow: A low level of interpolation quality. This setting may speed up image rendering.
kCGInterpolationMedium: A medium level of interpolation quality. This setting is slower than the low setting but faster than the high setting.
kCGInterpolationHigh: A high level of interpolation quality. This setting may slow down image rendering.

Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey arrested in Alabama
Posted January 25, 2018 January 25, 2018 Kyle Andrews
The Baltimore Ravens and former Alabama Crimson Tide cornerback Marlon Humphrey was arrested on Thursday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on Thursday.
TUSCALOOSA — Humphrey was charged with 3rd-degree robbery, with a bond set for $2,500, according to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's booking information.
In Alabama, 3rd-degree robbery is a Class C felony. Robbery is state law is considered to be in the third degree when:
"He/she uses force against the person of the owner of the property or any person present with intent to overcome that person's physical resistance or physical power of resistance; or (2) he/she threatens the imminent use of force against the person of the owner of the property or any person present with intent to compel acquiescence to the taking of or escaping with the property."
Robbery on this level is extreme and incredibly dangerous. Some robbers hit homes when they are vacant because they want to get in and out as quickly as possible without being noticed but this one was aggressive and horrifying to the residents. Installing Verisure Smart Alarms or any other type of alarm can help deter robbers if they think that they can be caught on camera and identified, which can reduce the number of break-ins, however, in this case, it seems that Humphrey was still set on going in.
Humphrey was a member of the 2015 Alabama football team, which was an NCAA champion. As a member of the Crimson Tide, Humphrey started in 29 games during his career, being named a Freshman All-American in 2015 and was a first-team All-American in 2016. He finished his career making 61 solo tackles, 20 assists (81 total tackles), with 6.5 for a loss. He also had five career interceptions, returning them for 46 yards and one touchdown, with 13 passes defended.
Humphrey just finished his rookie season in the NFL with the Ravens, after being selected with the 16th pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. He played in all 16 games, starting in five of them, with two interceptions and 33 yards on returns. Humphrey finished as the 33rd ranked cornerback in PFF's rankings (82.7 rating).
UPDATE 12:17PM:
According to Tuscaloosa News' Stephanie Taylor, Humphrey stole a $15 phone charger.
"According to the incident report filed by University of Alabama Police, a 30-year-old told police that Humphrey stole a $15 charger at 3:19 a.m. on Jan. 13 while at Hotel Capstone on Bryant Drive," wrote Taylor.
According to a police report, Humphrey asked to borrow the phone charger from an Uber driver and refused to return it. He allegedly elbowed the Uber driver in the side and walked away with the charger. The charger did not fit Humphrey's phone.

Life insurance profitability – how is it going?
LGL-8263B-C At Edward Jones, our approach to financial services is different. By living and working in your community, our financial advisors can meet with you personally to discuss investment strategies to help achieve your goals.
Overall, for financial years ended in 2015, the life insurance industry reported statutory profits of $3,036 million, a 51 percent increase compared to the profits reported in financial years ending in 2014.
• The internet remains an unattractive channel for consumers to buy life insurance, because consumers often do not ―seek‖ insurance and because of the low levels of understanding, and this has also limited the amount of competition in the direct channel.


The path to ensure you have the ultimate marketing tactic that is online is to review most of the methods that are available for your use. You may find that by introducing methods to your strategy, your results could be really boosted. A great deal of brands mistakenly overlook PPC, believing that searchengineoptimization may be the only way. But as qualified SEO companies have previously tested – employing both can actually boost your outcome significantly.
Creating the best online marketing technique is focused on currently pairing the proper elements together. You're planning to be left with something that is dull and boring should you abandon the wrong kinds. There comes a period when you really need to spice things up a bit, which in cases like this is the SEO technique. Spend-per- advertising can do wonders for the technique when integrated correctly. You can test working with a seo-company or carrying this out all on your own in La that provides PPC management solutions.
Why introducing PPC is this kind of good program meanwhile, let's review.
Search engine marketing is a superb long term expense. This is the reason PPC and SEO are oftentimes compared to letting and acquiring. SEO is much like purchasing realestate, within the impression while PPC is only booking for a while which you possess it permanently. You will no longer own the ad space, as soon as you cease paying.
With the addition of PPC for your method, you expand and can hasten your presence in a short span of period. The moment ads are purchased by you, it goes up immediately. SEO takes a bit longer, so it's an effective way to complement the lack of awareness initially.
Consider it like this – if you're able to rule both the research and settled advertisement benefits, then your traffic will increase greatly.
Selecting the keywords that are right is vital for both methods. By combining the various tools used for PPC and SEO, you'll have entry to more information, which can enable you preserve and to expel those that conduct badly. This can be a nice compromise that'll permit you to enhance your overall strategy, possibly generating a conversion rate that is higher to you.
Pay attention to the advertisements which are doing remarkably well. Make use of the keywords in those ads to improve your internet site and information. As an example, it is possible to place the very best changing keywords inside of page material subject labels and meta descriptions. PPC offers speedy outcomes, and that means you could learn of the finest keywords rather quickly. Use this to your benefit by utilizing that info to improve your SEO.
It's hard from discussing down about your model, to keep the naysayers. Nevertheless when this occurs, you must react easily. A proven way is by using PPC advertisements and SEO to fight the bad press. You should possess the SERPs, and this could be the only method you are able to. Guidebook the chat utilizing your ads and information, so that people will see your posts rather than the publicity that is damaging. This could take a short amount of time, but with all the help of SEO providers that are professional, you are able to guarantee it's completed appropriately.
You're previously submitting material on social-media, so why not improve media advertisements that are social being used by it? YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook all have ads you can purchase, so don't control yourself to search engines just. Infact, combining everything together could genuinely give your online marketing strategy a significant boost.
Putting everything together seamlessly is achievable with qualified SEO services, therefore consider finding a real pro on your own staff to streamline your efforts!


A buzz piece is simply a publication that will draw interest from possible buyers or clients from your target audience. It can be a worksheet, a template, a poster download, or even an e-book.
1. Landing Page Promotion: A landing page with a free download in exchange for their contact info. A few days later you contact them to thank them for downloading the book and ask if they have any questions. Or it can begin a subscription into an email newsletter.
2. Cold calls: Instead of advertising your product or service, offer to send them a free copy of your new publication. Gather contact info from the yes's, and followup a few days later to see if they have questions.
3. An email drip campaign: This tactic incorporates what every major brand does: It keeps reminding the prospect that you are there. these would be pieces that relate to the target audience. Followed by a reminder that you are there to answer questions. An automatic email drip campaign can be made easily to schedule the emails.
4. Kindle: it may be strange to offer a free book on kindle, but is there to lose when there is no monthly fee? You reach out to their huge customer base with no extra effort at all. Plus the freebie is a great funnel to upsell your paid publications on there as well.


In my last post I mentioned that I'm working on a show so here's a sneak peak... I just finished designing the promo materials and I'm doing my best to ignore the matting board and stack of frames that are waiting for me. Bleh.
Brought to you by the venerable University of St. Andrews: the face transformer (http://morph.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/Transformer/), an online thingy that lets you upload your photo and visualize your face aged, as painted by Modigliani, as someone of the opposite gender, etc. Here's a sampling of the results... I'd make one cute dude, if I do say so myself.
I don't think it shows too much, but I'm trying my hand at slightly different things... I wanted to try and paint faster and a bit more spontaneously than usual, so I drew this one directly on illustration board with acrylic, then did a bit of digital doodling. Usually I sketch and plan meticulously, and hardly do anything other than trim in Photoshop.I think I'll continue working on it, add more highlights on the face, and maybe redo the background to make the pattern stand out some more.
I made this for I.F.. I think I'll probably rework it, I'm not so happy about the contrasts; especially the stuffed animal's face, which blends too much in the background.
V.F.: Je viens de faire ça pour Illustration Friday, je suis à moitié contente du truc; les contrastes ne sont pas formidables, en particulier le visage de la peluche qui ne se détache pas bien du fond.
This is the kind of recipe that I like: quick, easy, full of buttery goodness, helps me pretend I'm a French culinary goddess.
VF: Voilà le genre de recette que j'aime... déjà y'a du beurre, ensuite c'est simple, c'est rapide et comme ça un peu de gueule, ça aide à perpétuer le mythe de la française qui sait ce qu'elle fait en cuisine.
Mix in the egg white with the dry ingredients.
VF: Pompé sur une recette de financiers de Elle A Table (si si, il a toujours 2-3 mois de retard mais je le trouve ici!). C'est délicieux pour un thé ou un brunch, et le parfum du matcha se marie bien avec plein de choses, en particulier groseilles, crème de marrons ou chocolat blanc.
Today E.K., purveyor of hope and ammunition for aspiring hipsters looking to fit in with the cool kids, compiled a list of sculptors worth checking out. So check it out! I'm adding a small selection of my own here.
VF: E.K. offre en général des cours de rattrapage de it trucs pour avoir l'air moins boulet avec vos copains qui sont trop haïpe. Aujourd'hui il a pondu un billet rien que pour moua ici (en anglais), avec des vrais morceaux de sculpteur dedans. Du coup j'en rajoute quelques-uns ici, des sculpteurs que j'aime bien, faudrait pas que je sois en reste.
Do-Ho Suh was born in Seoul, Korea in 1962. His sculptures continually question the identity of the individual in today's increasingly transnational, global society. I was lucky enough to see his work twice in Seattle - all I can say is that photos don't do justice to the scale and grace of his work.
VF: Do-Ho Suh est un artiste coréen. Ses sculptures remettent en question l'identité de l'individu dans la société actuelle, de plus en plus globalisée et transnationale. J'ai eu la chance de voir ses oeuvres à Seattle deux fois, et franchement les photos ont du mal à rendre l'échelle et l'allure du travail.
A self-taught American artist, Tricia Cline has been sculpting the female and animal form for over 20 years. Her small, highly detailed porcelain clay sculptures are complex metaphors describing our relationship to animals and to ourselves as…Animals.
VF: Tricia Cline est une artiste américaine autodidacte qui sculpte depuis plus de 20 ans formes féminines et animales. Ses sculptures de terre glaise, petites et riches en détails, sont de complexes métaphores qui décrivent nos relations envers les animaux et envers nous-mêmes, en tant qu'animaux.
A self taught American painter and ceramicist, Krafft is now best known for his notorious Disasterware™ plates, porcelain weaponry, and SPONE™ reliquaries made of human bone china.
VF: Charles Krafft est un peintre et céramiste américain autodidacte, connu pour ses porcelaines décalées: armes et munitions, lapinous à grenade etc dans un style classique facon Delft. Il fait aussi des reliquaires, c'est-à-dire des poteries faites avec les cendres de mémé. Un poil morbide quand même.
En VF: Z'avez compris, ça brille, c'est jouli, j'en veux, c'est des pendentifs en argent et pâte de verre, et ça s'achète sur un site Etatsunien qui ne fait pas dans l'international. Donc effectivement pourquoi traduire hein, on s'en fout un peu; ben bicose j'ai décidé de faire mes billets dans les 2 langues, et qu'il faut bien commencer quelque part. Alors autant que ce soit avec un truc court, des fois que je me foule un neurone.
Bon, ben ze end pour aujourd'hui, c'est pas tout ça mais j'ai caté.
Today I tried the chocolate "cake in a cup" recipe from the endlessly entertaining Papilles Et Pupilles blog. I was a little dubious because you cook it in a microwave, which I'm not a big fan of. Anyway, I tried it - and it was so easy and scrumptious that I'm shamelessly lifting her recipe and posting it here. The original recipe (in French, and much more humorous than mine!) is here.
I ran out of unsweetened cocoa powder and used an aztec chocolate mix (with chile and cinammon); that was a happy accident and turned out delicious.
I didn't have hazelnuts and replaced them with unsalted pistachios. I ground them with the sugar so that they wouldn't turn into a paste in the food processor. That turned out very well, too.
Put in the microwave for 2 minutes or so. It's a good idea to check the cake after 1 minute 1/2: if it's still soggy, put it back in for 30 more seconds. Don't overcook it as it will get dry.
Who cares about February 13 when the big fluffy day is tomorrow, right? Well I kinda do. You see, February 13th is my fête, aka the Feast of Saint Beatrice. That's right, Beatrice has a day named after her, like Patrick and Valentine. Henri, Robert and many others also do, for that matter; they just didn't have the right connections at Hallmark I guess.
The fête is a day that is supposed to honor the memory of a particular saint, whichever gruesome way they got to meet their maker; but like many French traditions, it is largely secular nowadays despite being rooted in religion. I've heard it described as a second birthday; it's a bit like that I guess.
Typically friends, family and coworkers will say "bonne fête!" to you; maybe you'll get a card, or flowers, or a little sumthinsumthin'. Florist web sites often have a fête reminder or let you look up fête dates; and after the evening news, the weather forecast guy typically announces whose fête it is tomorrow. Woe to who forgets!
Interestingly, I've noticed an anti-Valentine trend on French sites recently, and encouragements to boycott Valentine's Day and celebrate Saint Beatrice instead. I say bring it on!
Here's a French site that lists the names to celebrate each day of the year: http://www.saint-dicton.com/mois/fevrier.php . Makes me glad I wasn't named Adeltrude.
Mi-figue mi-raisin - literally "half-fig, half-grape", figuratively "ambiguous"
Couper la poire en deux - literally "to cut the pear in two", figuratively "to compromise"
S'occuper de ses oignons - literally "to look after one's onions", figuratively "to mind one's own business"
Beyond the translation, she's actually explaining the origin of these expressions; it's a fun read. I'm a bit of a language geek and love how idioms reflect a culture, history and way of thinking. Not surprising that food would be ubiquitous in French!
Seen in the NY Times: An illustrator, Christoph Niemann, recreated snippets of New York City with Lego. Very humorous and clever.
His regular portfolio is on http://www.christophniemann.com/; the gentleman has created a number of illustrations for the New Yorker.
For some reason, sculpture is usually not as interesting to me as much as 2D art forms (must be all the bronze leaping salmon you just can't escape in the Pacific Northwest...).
You can see more pictures here, and the artist statement here.
Seen downtown Seattle. Someone knows how to talk to the ladies.
Last night I made crêpes. Yup, yesterday might have been Groundhog Day in the US, but it was Chandeleur in France, aka Candlemas. Shame on me, it had slipped my mind until I read Anne's post (in French), just in the nick of time. Bad French girl, bad.
Like most French holidays, Chandeleur stems from an obscure religious origin and turned along the way into an occasion to eat something with butter in it.
"Chandeleur" comes from the Latin Festa Candelarum, meaning Feast of candles. Meaning that at some point, blessed candles charged with religious symbolism (Christ, light of the world etc) used to be involved.
The origin of crêpes and their association with the holiday is unclear; round and golden like the sun that starts coming back in February everywhere but in Seattle? Given out to pilgrims by a gourmet 5th century pope? Using flour to guarantee a bountiful wheat harvest?
Anyway, the tradition of making crêpes still holds today; when I was in Kindergarten we'd make them at school. Some people (like my great-aunt) still flip their crêpes with a gold coin in their hand, to ensure prosperity in the coming year. Looks like it's been working fine for my great-aunt, maybe I should start doing it.
There's no vegan version that I know of. If there is such a thing, I'd rather not find out, thank you.
Lightly grease a crêpe pan with an oiled paper towel. You can use a regular pan, but you'll be greatly increasing your odds of making fugly crêpes, especially if it's not non-stick.
When the edges look cooked and start lifting from the pan, slide a spatula under the crêpe and turn it over. You can also flip it, but this only works if there are no witnesses.
If there's a French person around, don't talk about Nutella unless you're prepared to spend the next hour listening to how Nutella in the US tastes different from Nutella in Europe, and how Costco hasn't carried it in almost 3 months.
Reginald almost looked like a regular little boy.
There was one small flaw, but the neighbors were far too polite to comment on it.
I envy people who keep a tidy desk when they work. At any given time, mine looks like some deranged muse threw up crayons all over it. Oh well.
Anyway, I'm back to being elbow-deep in muse puke; after a month's break, I've started plugging away at my next show. I've chosen to finally illustrate a short story that has been on my mind for a long, long time; I've never illustrated a story start to finish, so this is an interesting exercise.
I've read that story many times over the years, so I'm illustrating from memory rather than following the text. I started by trying to follow the text, but I found this method works better for me - helps me sift the key elements and focus on transcribing the atmosphere. But for all I know this is how illustrators work... so much for my big self-discovery!
This is another of the series I made for a show themed after the 7 deadly sins.

Obama rose to the occasion. But history shows big speeches don't move the needle that much. Does Congress actually want reform?
Health-care reform stands on the edge of a dramatic precipice. Many times over the years, presidents have pushed for comprehensive health-care reform. And never has it come closer than it is today, with reform bills having past four of the five relevant committees and a version of reform poised to pass the fifth. At the same time, the president's approval rating has sunk from the post-election high to something around fifty-fifty and his specific approval and health care has sunk lower than that. Under the circumstances, it was a dramatic moment for a speech, and the president rose to the occasion with a dramatic address beginning with a broad historical narrative and ending with a touching invocation of the later Ted Kennedy.
Do key swing blocs like the House Blue Dog Caucus and senators such as Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) want reform? If so, we'll get it. If not, we won't.
It's tempting, therefore, to view the delivery of the speech itself as a watershed moment; an opportunity to reshape history through rhetoric. The reality is that this is unlikely. In his book "On Deaf Ears," political scientist George Edwards surveyed public reaction to every televised address between 1981 and 2001 and concluded that they don't really make a difference: "statistically significant changes in approval rarely follow a televised presidential address. Typically, the president's ratings hardly move at all."
Nevertheless, failure to move the dial of public opinion needn't doom reform. As the most recent Gallup Poll data shows, currently existing public opinion is easily flexible enough for reform to pass, with 37 percent saying they want their member of Congress to back reform and 24 percent saying they have no opinion. The only problem is that a majority for blocking reform also exists: 39 percent say they want a "no" vote and 24 percent have no opinion. The country, despite the polarized images on television, actually contains a large and decisive number of indifferent people.
Members of Congress can get away with casting a vote in favor of comprehensive health reform, and they can also get away with casting a vote against comprehensive health reform. And the fate of the country rests ultimately in their hands. Members tend to be uncomfortable with this reality and cast about for objective political constraints in which to take refuge, but the data doesn't support any such quest. And the press likes to focus on the president as the key agent of change, seeing the passage or failure of bills as his "success" or "failure." But the president's only real power would be to shift public opinion, and history's says that's unlikely. And the only thing that could force Congress's hand would be public opinion, but public opinion is indecisive. So does Congress want reform? Specifically, do key swing blocs like the House Blue Dog Caucus and senators such as Ben Nelson (D-NE) and Olympia Snowe (R-ME) want reform? If so, we'll get it. If not, we won't. And one way or another, the speech won't have been the difference-maker.

Keep your eye on the ball
Sharp increase in FOCS options activity yesterday
The stock has been consolidating for the past month
Next earnings release scheduled for May 20
Trading ranges are sort of like extra-inning baseball games: They can seem to go on forever, but they often end suddenly with one swing of the bat.
Financial services firm Focus Financial Partners (FOCS) may not be in the 17th inning of its current consolidation, but it's nonetheless in its lengthiest congestion since last September, just weeks after it began trading publicly. After bouncing off its March low around $31.50, FOCS has been trading mostly between $35.50–$38 since early April, around $11–$14 below its record highs above $49:
That type of price action, along with relatively low daily volume of around 220,000 shares, would probably cause most active traders to yawn and move on to another ticker, but those who were keeping an eye on options activity yesterday would have spied something out of the ordinary.
The Power E*TRADE LiveAction scan below shows open interest (OI) in FOCS options was more than six times its average yesterday:
Because open interest represents the number of unclosed options trades, the bump in OI meant more traders were taking positions in FOCS. Although it's impossible to decipher the intentions of those traders from just one number, increasing options activity in a range-bound stock can be a signal that some traders expect a stock to bust out of that range.
In terms of when that may happen, traders may be considering a few factors.
First, in terms of catalysts that could jumpstart price action, one should always consider earnings. FOCS has only one quarterly report under its belt—February 21, which topped estimates1—with another one currently scheduled for May 20. There's no reason something unexpected couldn't pop up between now and then, but the upcoming earnings release will likely loom large in the eyes of many traders watching the stock.
Waiting is an unavoidable part of trading, but traders who keep their eye on the ball during quiet periods may be rewarded when price action ramps up.
Then there's the broader market context—FOCS isn't trading in a vacuum, after all. It's a small-cap financial stock, and the financial sector has trailed only tech among S&P 500 (SPX) sectors over the past month. Another potential source of momentum may come from the recent uptick in small cap stocks: After lagging the other US indexes in March and much of April, the Russell 2000 (RUT) has shown renewed signs of life over the past week or so.
Waiting is often an unavoidable part of trading—a fact of life illustrated by a recent situation with parallels to FOCS. Yelp (YELP), which has rallied more than 12% since breaking out of a tight consolidation on April 22, made its real move a week after a potential breakout was noted in "Two sides of the breakout."
Traders who fall asleep when the game is boring run the risk of missing what could turn out to be the play of the week.
Market Mover Update: Alphabet (GOOGL) traded below Monday's low yesterday, per the pattern outlined in "Trading beyond the headlines."
Today's numbers (all times ET): Productivity and Costs (8:30 a.m.), Factory Orders (10 a.m.), EIA Natural Gas Report (10:30 a.m.), Motor Vehicle Sales.
Today's earnings include: Abiomed (ABMD), DowDuPont (DWDP), Dunkin (DNKN), Kellogg (K), Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A), SAGE Therapeutics (SAGE), Worldpay (WP), Activision Blizzard (ATVI), Arista Networks (ANET), Gilead Sciences (GILD), GoDaddy (GDDY), Motorola Solutions (MSI), ResMed (RMD), U.S. Steel (X), Intel (INTC), iQIYI (IQ), Juniper Networks (JNPR), Mattel (MAT), Starbucks (SBUX).

Alphabet by the numbers: Volatility may yield opportunities for short-term traders.
A bull in bear's clothing?

Q: Clarification regarding the Archimedean Property This is kind of a general question concerning the Archimedean property in the context of real analysis. I understand that for every real number, there exists a natural number that is greater than or equal to it.
Specifically in this example, I am trying to understand what it means when the book states that $\frac{1}{K} \lt \epsilon$. Then it says $n \ge K $. $1/n \le 1/K \lt \epsilon$.

*

*Is this saying that you can always find a number $n$ greater than or
equal to any natural number $K$?

*How is $1/n \le 1/K \lt \epsilon$ to be interpreted?

*What number system is $n$ from? Is it the naturals?

*What does the book mean when it states that $1/K \lt \epsilon$? What is epsilon representing in this case?
I am using this to do some proofs on sequences of functions and uniform continuity and this seems to be a big part of it. I need some help interpreting what is actually going in this statement. Any help is appreciated.

A: What this is trying to prove is that $\frac 1n \rightarrow 0$ as $n\rightarrow \infty $.  What that means is intuitively easy to comprehend but hard to put into words.  When considering all the $1/n$ as $n $ gets larger and larger, there comes a point where all the $1/n $ are really close to $0$.
Obviously that language is not good math.  What does "really close to zero" mean.  It means for any really small number the absolute value of all these $1/n $ at this point are even smaller.  We use $\epsilon $ to indicate any arbitrarily small value.  $\epsilon$'s only purpose in life is to be as small as we can imagine, simply so that we can show all $1/n $ at some point are even smaller.
What do I mean "at some point"?  That means there is some natural number $K $ (which might need to be very large) that for all the $n \ge K $, then all the $1/n $ are smaller than the really small $\epsilon$ we picked.
So in techical math language: $\frac 1n\rightarrow 0$ means for any $\epsilon >0$ (no matter how small) there is some $K $ ( maybe very large) so that for all $n$ that are larger than $K $, we have $|\frac 1n|<\epsilon $.
So that is what the proof is trying to show.
So to your questions.
1) is this saying for any natural $K $ we can find an $n $ larger?  Not really.  Since we can find $n =K+1$ that would be trivial.
What it is saying is that for any $\epsilon $ (no matter how small) we can find a $K $ so that $0 <1/K<\epsilon$.
The archemidean principal says: for any real number $x >0$ (no matter how small) and any real value $M $ (no matter how big) there is an integer $n $ so that $nx > M $.
So for any $\epsilon >0$ (no matter how small) we can find a natural number $K$ so that $K\epsilon >1$.
Which means $0  < 1/K < \epsilon $.
But that's only one natural number where $1/K <\epsilon $.
We need to prove that from now on out (i.e. for all $n \ge K $) we will also have $|1/n|<\epsilon $.
2) how is $\frac 1n \le \frac 1K  < \epsilon $ to be interpreted?  Well,... $1/n $ is a number.  It happens to be smaller or equal to  $1/K $ which is another number.  $1/K $ is smaller than a third number $\epsilon $.  So $1/n < \epsilon $.
(The proof doesn't state it, but since $n>0$, $1/n >0$ and $0 < 1/n \le 1/K <\epsilon $.)
3) what is $n $? $n $ is an arbitrary natural number that is equal or larger than $K $.
4) What does $\epsilon $ represent?  It is a very small number, as small as we like, but no matter how small we choose it to be, there'll come a point that all the $1/n $ are smaller.
Okay, let's do an example.  I want to show if I take a really small number, say the small number $\epsilon = 17/5,698,394$, there comes a point where all the $1/n $ are less than that.
If $n=2$, $1/2$ isn't smaller than $17/5,698,394$ so we haven't gotten that point yet.  If $n=5,678$, $1/5,678$ isn't either so we still haven't gotten to the point yet.  But if we get to the point $K = 4,000,000$ then for all $n\ge K $ we have $1/n < 17/5,698,394$ and we have gotten to the point.
So for that really small value there is a number $K $ where for all the $n \ge K $ we know $1/n $ is smaller.
If we took an even smaller number, say $\epsilon = 8.9 \times 10^{-567} $ we could still find a point, $K= 10^{568} $ where for all $n \ge K =10^{568} $ we have $1/n < \epsilon = 8.9\times 10^{-567} $.

A: It might help if I write out the definition of convergence for a sequence in $\mathbb{R}$ using logical symbols.
DEFINITION. Let $L \in \mathbb{R}$. A sequence $(s_n)$ in $\mathbb{R}$ converges to $L$ if: $$\forall \varepsilon > 0 \, \exists K \in \mathbb{N} \, \forall n \in \mathbb{N} \, (n \geq K \longrightarrow |s_n - L| < \varepsilon).$$ Notice the "$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$"! This universal quantifier is known to the authors of textbooks on real analysis, but the authors almost never mention this universal quantifier.
Now to your questions.

*

*It is true that if you have a natural number $K$, you can always find a natural number $n$ such that $n \geq K$. (Obviously, there are infinitely many such $n$.) The part of the definition of convergence mentioning $n \geq K$ simply means that if you take any natural $n$ that satisfies $n \geq K$, then the statement $|s_n - L| < \varepsilon$ must be true.

*For your example, $(s_n)$ is given by $s_n = 1/n$. Now, once you have said, "Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and suppose $n \geq K$," then you try to show that $|s_n - L| < \varepsilon$ must be true, i.e., $|1/n - 0| < \varepsilon$ must be true. That's exactly what is being shown by writing $1/n \leq 1/K < \varepsilon$.

*Again, the "$\forall n \in \mathbb{N}$" is rarely (if at all) emphasized in real analysis textbooks, but it should be (omitting it causes students/readers to raise your very question). So $n$ is taken from $\mathbb{N}$.

*The statement $1/K < \varepsilon$ was used to help show that $1/n < \varepsilon$ is true.

One more comment. Look at the definition of convergence as I've written it above. To prove the convergence of a sequence with your bare hands using only this definition, you must look at the quantifiers, the logical connectives, and their ordering that is given in the definition. Therefore, the structure of your proof should be like so:

"Let $\varepsilon > 0$."
        [A choice for $K$ goes here.]
              "Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$."
                    "Suppose $n \geq K$."
                    [Proof that $|s_n - L| < \varepsilon$ goes here.]
  "Thus, $(s_n)$ converges to $L$."

The proof for your example:
"Let $\varepsilon > 0$. Choose a $K \in \mathbb{N}$ such that $K > 1/\varepsilon$. (Such a $K$ exists by the Archimedean property.) Let $n \in \mathbb{N}$, and suppose $n \geq K$. Then $1/n \leq 1/K$, so $$|s_n - 0| = \biggl| \dfrac{1}{n} \biggr| = \dfrac{1}{n} \leq \dfrac{1}{K} < \varepsilon.$$ Therefore, $\lim 1/n = 0$."

A: The Archimedean proprty is that for every positive $x, y$ there exists $n\in \mathbb N$ such that $nx>y$. In particular if $x=1$ and $y=1/\epsilon>0$ there exists $n\in \mathbb N$ such that $n=nx>y=1/\epsilon,$ that is $1/n<\epsilon.$ And hence,also,  $1/n'<\epsilon$ whenever  $n<n'\in \mathbb N.$

A: 1: By the Archimedean property, there is some natural number $K$ such that $K>{1\over \epsilon}$. The rest of this part is just algebra: $\epsilon>0$ by assumption, so ${1\over\epsilon}>0$ as well (exercise), and so $K>0$ as well since $K>{1\over \epsilon}$. But this means that when we take the reciprocal of each side of the inequality "$K>{1\over\epsilon}$," we get "${1\over K}<\epsilon$."
2: Exactly as written: ${1\over n}$ is less than or equal to ${1\over K}$, which in turn is strictly less than $\epsilon$. I'm not sure what your confusion is here?
3: Yes, $n$ is a natural number here. Remember you're computing the limit of the sequence $({1\over n})_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$.
4: Look at the beginning where it says "If $\epsilon>0$ is given ..." So $\epsilon$ is an arbitrary positive real number. Remember that you're trying to prove a statement of the form "For every $\epsilon>0$, ..." - the way you do this is show how, for any such $\epsilon$, you can prove the desired result.

A: *

*It is true that for any natural number $K$ you can find a larger natural number, but for that you don't need the Archimedean property; it's part of the very definition of the natural numbers.
Indeed for the formulation of the Archimedean property you used, it could not be derived from it, as it only states that there exists a natural number that is greater or equal to a given number; since $K$ already is a natural number, the existence of a natural number $K'\ge K$ is already satisfied by $K'=K$ as $K\ge K$ and $K$ is by definition natural.
The reason why you consider numbers $n>K$ is because of the definition of limits: A sequence $a_n$ converges to the limit $a$ if for every $\epsilon>0$ there exists a natural number $K$ so that for each natural number $n>K$, $\left|a_n-a\right|<\epsilon$. The Archimedean property is used to argue that $K$ exists.

*$1/n < 1/K \le \epsilon$ means $1/n < 1/K \land 1/K \le \epsilon$. The first inequality is equivalent to $n>K$ which you need from the definition of limits. The second inequality is equivalent to $K>1/\epsilon$ which is what you get by using the Archimedean property.

*Yes, $n\in\mathbb N$. It is the index to the sequence $(1/n)_{n\in\mathbb N}$.

*$\epsilon$ is an arbitrary positive real number, as required by the definition of the limit of a sequence.

How can the energy consumption of existing buildings at the University of Notre Dame be reduced by applying heat recovery technologies and are these energy efficiency retrofits economically feasible?
Retrofitting current buildings to install heat recovery may offer significant environmental benefits but can be prevented by feasibility and costs. The purpose of this capstone project was to explore the process of analyzing retrofits of heat recovery. I was able to perform site visits, discuss options with contractors and suppliers, and analyze the payback and impacts with assistance mainly from Bob Werner, from the Utilities Department at the University of Notre Dame. We studied Jordan Hall and St. Michael's Laundry facility.
I also prepared website content for the Office of Sustainability that will be used to inform the public of the Energy Conservation Measures that have been completed on campus and the current applications of heat recovery that contribute to the overall energy efficiency of the University of Notre Dame.
I would like to thank my collaborator Bob Werner, Sr. Mechanical Engineer at Notre Dame Facilities, without whom this project would not have been possible.

Hello everyone, The third workshop on the topic of "Writing Pywikibot scripts" is coming up - it will take place on Friday, April 29th at 16:00 UTC. You can find more details on the workshop and a link to join here: < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Small_wiki_toolkits/Workshops#How_to_write_…> [1]. This workshop will introduce participants to writing basic scripts via the Pywikibot framework. We will be focusing on examples of scripts that participants have requested to cover in the workshop (e.g., finding and replacing content, archiving discussions, etc.). You can add your ideas to the ongoing discussion in the etherpad doc linked from the workshops page. If you missed attending the previous two workshops, going through the workshop materials beforehand would be beneficial. We look forward to your participation!

Invitation to Wikimedia Research Office Hours May 3, 2022
by Emily Lescak
Hi all, Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly Office hours Tuesday, 2022-05-03. Find your local time here <https://zonestamp.toolforge.org/1651593600>. To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad [3]. You are welcome to add questions / items to the etherpad in advance, or when you arrive at the session. Even if you are unable to attend the session, you can leave a question that we can address asynchronously. If you do not have a specific agenda item, you are welcome to hang out and enjoy the conversation. More detailed information (e.g., about how to attend) can be found here [4]. Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves available to answer research related questions that you as Wikimedia volunteer editors, organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in your projects and initiatives. Here are some example cases we hope to be able to support you with: - You have a specific research related question that you suspect you should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don't know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it. For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors in my wiki? - You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be harder to find an answer for during an office hour. However, discussing them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future. - You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates: if you are interested in building relationships with the academic institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those of you interested more closely in this space. - You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5]. Hope to see many of you, Emily, on behalf of the WMF Research Team [1] https://research.wikimedia.org [2] https://meet.jit.si/WMF-Research-Office-Hours [3] https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Research-Analytics-Office-hours [4] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Research/Office_hours [5] https://research.wikimedia.org/projects.html -- Emily Lescak (she / her) Senior Research Community Officer The Wikimedia Foundation
New "mul" term language code available on Test Wikidata
by Mohammed Sadat Abdulai
(This change is relevant for all Wikidata users working with labels, descriptions, and aliases.) Based on a long-standing community request we have enabled a new language code for labels, descriptions, and aliases on Test Wikidata: "mul", a special language code meaning "multiple languages". It is intended to replace the current duplication of certain labels and aliases in many languages: instead of the given name Douglas (Q463035) <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q463035> having the label "Douglas" in hundreds of Latin-script languages, it should be enough to add it once as the "mul" label and have all other languages falling back to that (before, as usual, falling back to "en" as a last resort). This should reduce the amount of redundant data in Wikidata, and relieve some pressure from the query service. A big thank you goes to all people involved in the discussions! The purpose of the Test Wikidata version of this feature is to determine whether the current functionality is already sufficient, or whether the feature needs more work before it can be enabled on Wikidata proper. Current implementation: - You can interact with the new language code using the API. - The new language code appears in the table of labels at the top of an item page for users whose Babel information includes "mul" (or who use ? uselang=mul in the URL). If there is already a "mul" label, it will be available for everyone under the usual "all entered languages" option. - The page heading will fall back to the "mul" label if necessary. Fallbacks to "mul" have the usual "indicator" that shows a fallback took place (CSS class wb-language-fallback-mul). For more details, see T285156 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T285156> (or T297393 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T297393> for the Test Wikidata implementation). You are welcome to leave any feedback about the technical implementation of the new language code on these tickets. The new language code will very likely need adjustment of Wikidata policies and guidelines. In case you would like to contribute to drafting preliminary new guidelines, a good starting point is: Help talk:Label#Drafting of guidelines for new language code mul <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help_talk:Label#Drafting_of_guidelines_for_ne…> .

Q: Почему assertEquals fails?
Я сравниваю 2 объекта (элементы списка), они одинаковые по своим полям, но тест все равно проваливается. Но если я не буду создавать новый список и не буду создавать в нем этот элемент, а просто буду сравнивать уже с существующим объектом из списка cars, то тогда тест проходит успешно. Почему? Ощущение, что он сравнивает не поля, а ссылки в памяти. Если нужен код, я скину.

A: Указанные Вами объекты не равны, т.к. являются разными экземплярами и по-умолчанию будут сравниваться по ссылке. Вам необходимо в классе Car переопределить метод equals() таким образом, чтобы проверка производилась по необходимым Вам полям. Подробнее почитать про метод equals() можно в документации по классу Object:
package com.somepackage;

import java.util.Objects;

public class Car {

    enum BodyType { CROSSOVER_SUV }

    private String name;
    private Double price;
    private Integer fuelConsumption;
    private Integer maxSpeed;
    private BodyType bodyType;

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;

        Car car = (Car) o;

        if (!Objects.equals(name, car.name)) return false;
        if (!Objects.equals(price, car.price)) return false;
        if (!Objects.equals(fuelConsumption, car.fuelConsumption)) return false;
        if (!Objects.equals(maxSpeed, car.maxSpeed)) return false;
        return bodyType == car.bodyType;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        int result = name != null ? name.hashCode() : 0;
        result = 31 * result + (price != null ? price.hashCode() : 0);
        result = 31 * result + (fuelConsumption != null ? fuelConsumption.hashCode() : 0);
        result = 31 * result + (maxSpeed != null ? maxSpeed.hashCode() : 0);
        result = 31 * result + (bodyType != null ? bodyType.hashCode() : 0);
        return result;
    }
}


1. If there's a no-deal Brexit, will it be harder to travel to Europe with my pet?
2. What is a third country in the EU Pet Travel Scheme?
3. Does my pet insurance policy cover my pet abroad?
5. Is a no-deal Brexit still unlikely?
The EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier has said "the ability... of dogs and cats to cross the Channel" will be affected if the UK leaves the EU without a deal - a scenario both sides say they are keen to avoid.
Bought By Many conducted a survey of 250 cat and dog owners on the impact Brexit might have for pet owners travelling to Europe with their pets. We found 57% did not feel they had enough information about how Brexit could affect their travel plans. Here's what you need to know.
Or check our guide to the best pet insurance for dogs.
If there's a no-deal Brexit, will it be harder to travel to Europe with my pet?
Yes. Under the current rules of the EU Pet Travel Scheme, UK pet owners of dogs and cats can travel with their animals to and from EU countries without the need for a quarantine period, provided they are microchipped and hold a valid EU pet passport.
When we leave the EU, pets can still travel from the UK to the EU, but the need for documents and health checks will change depending on what category of 'third country' the UK becomes on the day we leave.
If we leave without a deal the UK will be classed as an unlisted third country which means UK pets travelling to Europe will need certain vaccinations and there will be waiting period after those vaccinations before they can travel.
What is a third country in the EU Pet Travel Scheme?
Within the Pet Travel Scheme, countries outside the EU are divided into three categories of 'third country'. This is based on each country's animal health status and the administrative systems they have in place to report, control and manage diseases such as rabies.
Third countries can apply to the European Commission to be listed under Part 1 or Part 2.
Part 1 listed countries can operate under the same EU Pet Travel Scheme rules as EU member states. If the UK was a Part 1 country there would be some minor changes needed to documentation for travel and no changes for pet owners from what they currently need to do in terms of health preparations.
Most countries are Part 2 listed. It means some additional documents and conditions are needed. Pet owners would need to visit their vet to discuss health preparations at least four months before they intend to travel with their pet and they would still need to ensure rabies vaccinations are kept up to date.
Before travelling from the UK to an EU country with their pet for the first time, it would need to be taken to an Official Veterinarian (OV) at least 21 days in advance. The OV would ensure the animal has a microchip and rabies vaccination.
Will my local vet be an Official Veterinarian?
You should speak with your local veterinary practice to find out whether it holds Official Veterinary status. An OV will be a fully qualified vet and member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, but they will hold additional qualifications known as OCO(V)s.
This will allow them to complete the required documents and certification needed for you to travel with your pet under the Pet Travel Scheme.
What happens to pet travel if there is a no-deal Brexit?
If the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 with no deal, and we have not been accepted as a Part 1 or Part 2 listed country we would become an unlisted third country for the purposes of the EU Pet Travel Scheme.
This means that pet owners must take some specific actions several months before they wish to travel.
What should I do if I'm travelling to Europe with my pet in 2019?
To plan ahead in case there is a no-deal Brexit, you may want to speak to a certified Official Veterinarian at least four months in advance of travelling.
You will need to demonstrate that your pets are free of rabies, this could involve a vaccination followed by at least a 30-day wait before a subsequent blood test, which itself is then followed by a three-month waiting period before travel.
Our survey of pet owners found that 36.4% of people would take fewer trips to Europe with their pet if Brexit creates more admin around taking an animal abroad.
34% said they will leave their pet at home more often when they travel to Europe.
Does my pet insurance policy cover my pet abroad?
Many pet insurance companies will offer cover for your pet while you are abroad, although it is often an optional extra that costs more.
At Bought By Many we offer travel insurance that provides cover for your pet as part of our Complete policy. You can add it to many more of our policies.
Travelling abroad with a pet?
Find out whether your pet needs travel insurance when you go on holiday?
The government is seeking to become a 'listed' third country when the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 and this will help minimise any disruption. With time rapidly running out, the government has already begun issuing warnings and contingency plans for members of the public and different business sectors on the potential impact of a no-deal Brexit.
Is a no-deal Brexit still unlikely?
Yes. Despite some of the media news coverage you may have seen or heard, a no-deal Brexit remains unlikely given that it's in the best interests of both the UK and the EU to negotiate a Brexit outcome. However, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, it's important to remember this will have a significant impact on the medical requirements and documents needed to visit any EU country with your pet.
To learn more about how a no-deal Brexit may affect your pet travel arrangements you can visit the government's website at The Department for Environment, Food, & Rural Affairs.
With less than 6 months to go before the UK leaves the EU, how Brexit will affect pet owners visiting EU countries with their pets remains an unresolved issue.
If you're planning on visiting an EU country after Brexit, your future travel arrangements could significantly be affected, and you may need to begin making preparations now. The impact of any new arrangements introduced will depend upon the UK's current negotiations with the EU and the terms of the final Brexit deal.

In hot conditions, Meyer conquered the tricky course in 48 minutes 13.04 seconds to chase down the morning's previous-best time set by New Zealand's two-time Olympic rowing gold medallist Hamish Bond.
Speaking after his gold medal ride, Meyer said, "It's been a while since I've done a time trial and I broke my collarbone in the last one I did, so luckily I stayed upright this time and I couldn't be more thrilled than I am today.
Garfoot, the heavy hometown favourite, was a class above in the women's event, which was 13km shorter than the men's, coming in at a distance of 25.5km, and included an 800m steep section known as "the beast" en route to the finish line.
Leading at every checkpoint, Garfoot eventually stopped the clock at 35:08.09, almost one minute ahead of silver medallist and defending champion Linda Villumsen of New Zealand, while Scotland's Katie Archibald was fourth.
