How would one write a possessive form for a proper noun that already has an apostrophe-s in it? For example, I want to use the possessive form of "McDonald's" maybe in the sentence "The Market Street McDonald's' employees are friendly."  I realize the possessive form may not be entirely necessary there, but in a case where it is, what is correct?
I don't think this has yet been covered in .  There was , however, it was not specifically talking about the case where the proper noun ends in a plural noun.  Feel free to vote to close if I am wrong.  What is the correct way to make a proper noun ending in a plural noun ending in an "s" possessive?  This frequently happens with corporations, e.g., "Dunkin' Donuts."  Should one work off of the fact that the entity is singular—suggesting Dunkin' Donuts's—or should one work off of the fact that "Donuts" is plural and ending in an "s"—suggesting Dunkin' Donuts'?  I expect that the answer might depend on dialect because some regions refer to corporations in the singular form ("Dunkin' Donuts is a company") while other regions refer to corporations in the plural form ("Dunkin' Donuts are a company").  I am specifically interested in American English, but would be interested in hearing answers for other dialects too.
I'm looking for mathematics books, courses + exercises for high school level. My daughter was high school certificated but she has stopped her studies for 5 years. She would like to be involved in new educational program but she needs to restore her mathematic capabilities.  Could you help me to identify which mathematics books can help her?

Topologist's sine curve is connected I just came across the example of the topologist's sine curve that is connected but not path-connected. The rigorous proof of the non-path-connectedness can be found .   But how can I prove that the curve is connected? To be honest, even intuitively I am not being able to see that the curve is connected. I am thinking if it is proved that the limit point of $\sin(1/x)$ as $x \to 0=0$, then it would be proved. But, why is this true? IMO, this limit doesn't exist. Intuitively also, it seems that the graph would behave crazily and not approach a particular value as a tends to $0.$  EDIT (Brett Frankel): There are a few different working definitions of the topologist's since curve. For the sake of clarity/consistency, I have copied below the definition used in the linked post: $$ y(x) = \begin{cases} \sin\left(\frac{1}{x}\right) &amp; \mbox{if $0\lt x \lt 1$,}\\\ 0 &amp; \mbox{if $x=0$,}\end{cases}$$ As I understand it, there are several models for what the universe could look like from the “outside”. I don’t know if any of these are outdated, so if they are please tell me if they are.   Expanding bubble. This model says the universe will never stop expanding, and the universe will die because the energy all turns to photons and gets spread out so much. Bubble that will eventually collapse. In this model the universe will stop expanding, and collapse. Everything merges into super-massive black holes, and the universe dies with fire. The universe is a torus. I'm not clear whether the size of the universe in this model is changing, but the central idea is that space is donut-shaped.   Those are the major ones that I have heard of. My question involves what I have heard to be the most popular of the three, #2. In this model, eventually something will "touch" the edge of the universe. Obviously, the first thing to "touch" it would be photons as they travel at, well, the speed of light. This involves all forms of energy in the universe, but I thought it might be easier to explain for something without mass.  What happens if some form of energy "touches" the edge of the universe? Logically, the energy cannot be lost without violating the law of conservation of energy. The only thing I can think of, is that it would "bounce" or be refracted off the edge.  I realize that it sounds silly, however if model #2 is correct then this situation will arise some number of billions of years from now.  I can only assume that there is either a new model that accounts for this, there is some complex explanation, or that model #2 is incorrect.

Should I start from the beginning and try a different method?  Source in Croatian: 2.kolokvij, matematička analiza Markdown code snippets don't allow trailing spaces How to download a file using Selenium's WebDriver? Basically I want to at least check that a download-able file exists / download link works and preferably get stuff like the file size too. Here's an example: link = self.browser.find_element_by_link_text('link text') href = link.get_attribute('href') download = self.browser.get(href) print download  That fourth line prints &quot;None&quot;, presumably because I haven't manually clicked the Save button, and even if I had, I doubt WebDriver would be able to &quot;see&quot; the file. Any ideas? I'm using Firefox as my browser-under-test, and I understand that the file handling for downloads is somewhat browser and/or OS-specific. Laravel 4.1 Run migrations and update configuration from package dependencies SharePoint Migration 2007 to 2013 We're planning to upgrade an existing farm from 2007 to 2013. I learned that the best way and maybe the only way to achieve this is by migrating in two steps. 2007 to 2010 and 2010 to 2013. The actual farm is a sql-server(2008r2 64 bit) and a sperate sharepoint-server(web-frontend, etc....) I want to keep the sql-server as it is, if possible and we want to install a new 64bit host for sharepoint 2013. We will design a new branding for 2013 afterwards, so we need to keep the content, but not the layout. There's so much about migration available on the web, but Can I find something like best practises? How can I customize the Ubuntu installer? I am using ArcMap 10.2 and want to represent a layer in a rotated dataframe with chart (graph) symbology. The problem is that the charts do not rotate with the dataframe:     I thought I could convert to graphics and rotate each chart individually, but   that is very tedious I don't find an option to convert a layer to graphics, works for the legend but not for the actual layer symbology What's the difference between package managers? What are the differences between apt-get, aptitude, and synaptic, and which one is the recommended choice for normal day-to-day package management?  This is a basic question, but I think it'd be good information to have on the site, and besides I am relatively new to Ubuntu so I could use an expert explanation.

Copy files excluding x,y,z causing error in shell script I'm not well versed in shell scripting but I imagine this to be a painfully easy fix but its eluding me.  I need to copy the contents of a directory excluding a number of files. I have a command that works when I enter it into the terminal, but when its run in a shell script it fails with a syntax error or just doesn't work.   The command in question is:  cp -r path/to/!(dir1|dir2|dir3) destination   Any help would be greatly appreciated! Command to italicize text with slanted numbers I often find myself adding a lot of \textsl{} around inside \emph{} or \textit{} blocks because I find italicized digits to look too "showoffy" and "baroque" and to hinder legibility (I'm using $$ when the number has a mathematical sense, but this situation occurs in less technical texts like CVs, and such.).  Could someone help me write a renewcommand to automate this, or better, a single low level command that makes \emph, \itshape, \textit and friends choose slanted over italic for numbers? I'm not too familiar with the low level latex font selection system nor with a way to detect digits from regular letters.  Edit: MWE of what I need and what I want to avoid  \documentclass{article} \begin{document} He thought: '\emph{Why 1234567890 apples?}' then he realized '\emph{ah yes, he has \textsl{1234567890} childs}' \end{document}   gives:   I find the italicized version (first one) of 2,3,4 and 7 to look especially bad.
