QuantConnect provides Morningstar® corporate fundamentals data for US Equities symbols. The available dataset includes about 5000 ticker with 900 fields starting from January 1998. It uses the $[FineFundamental] type.
For the $[FineFundamental] properties, please checkout our database.
Like coarse universes, fine universes allow you to select an unlimited universe of symbols to analyse. You are only limited by practical memory and speed limits and may quickly run out of memory if you backtest too many symbols in parallel. These limits can be increased with a subscription. Also you must use coarse fundamental universe to narrow down the universe as a "pre-filter".

Web Development broadly refers to the tasks associated with developing websites for hosting via the Internet. The web development process includes web design, web content development, client-side/server-side scripting and network security configuration, amongst others. At ThirtyEight Co, we provide a personal service, tailored to our client’s specific needs, ensuring their vision comes to life.
Although UI design and UX design are two separate services, they’re both extremely complementary of one another and even draw from each other.
User interface design (UI), or user interface engineering, is the design of user interfaces for machines and software, such as computers, home appliances, mobile devices, and other electronic devices, with deeper focus on maximizing usability and user experience. When crafting UI designs, we carefully think through the process in order to determine how certain decisions will affect the final product, with our ultimate goal to completely satisfy our own clients, and furthermore, our clients’ clients.
User experience design (UX), is the process of enhancing user satisfaction with a product by improving the usability, accessibility, and pleasure provided in the interaction with the product. By using UX design, our team are committed to transforming anything from initial ideas, to in-depth, detailed descriptions of a product in need of direction into the ultimate vision in your mind. We think critically about how your app/website will transport a user from screen to screen.
Branding is the marketing practice of creating a name, symbol or design that identifies and differentiates one product from another. Branding is a key element in putting across the benefits of your product or service to the customers. An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly competitive market.
Within business branding, we include Graphic Design services. This encompasses numerous services such as Logo Design, Posters, Social Media Artwork and Business Cards. We have provided many of these services for our clients upon request, some of which you can view on our online Portfolio.
We take on a lot of projects that don't fit directly into one of the categories above. If you have anything you would like us to take a look at please don't hesitate to contact us.

I have been an opiate user for at least 2 years - and my tolerance is quite high. Having read about the potential benefits of kratom, I decided to try some. My first experience which was recorded tonight was a good one, however, my next dosage will be more. =) My husband said there's no time like the present, however, as much as I would like to ride the bus again, I don't know exactly how long it will take for my system to be clean, so I shall re-dose tomorrow morning.
6:45- Measured out about 2 teaspoons of the ‘super kratom’ powder (3 grams) from a reputable Shamanistic online source. Mixed up the herbal powder with about ½ C Spicy Cider from Trader Joe’s. Excellent masking ability - the taste was slightly herbal, not unpleasant - but the texture was still like drinking thick pesto sauce. Starting mindset, hopeful, happy, talking to a good friend on the phone, who just makes me grin. Withdrawing slightly from hydrocodone (last taken 7 hours and 45 minutes beforehand), clammy hands, and a slight sweat are manifesting.
7:04- Slight warming on the back of my head, feeling good, hoping for stronger effects. Understand the desire to take more, however, I am withholding.
7:11- Heart rate, normal, pondering a cigarette, however, since I took the powder on an empty stomach, have no desire to encourage nausea. The sweat of withdrawal seems to be lessening.
7:15- Perception definitely slightly altered. Vague fogging or ‘shimmering’ effect around edges of my vision. I definitely feel as though I am altered, however, can’t compare it to any one thing…..most like a combination of MDMA/oxycontin if one were to combine them - but without the joyous feeling - just happy mellowness...and it's not as strong. I definitely feel the need to be productive. I ask my husband to drive me to the store, and he does. The store seemed more enjoyable than usual, however, according to him, I was only behaving slightly 'more goofy than usual'.
7:51- Feeling slightly high, my heart feels as though it’s beating faster, however, when I time it, it is not. My opiate withdrawal symptoms are nearly gone! I’m considering a second, small dose. The pain in my side is gone! (I have a chronic pain condition for which I take hydrocodone) Nice!
8:07- Feeling the stimulant effects, but want the opiate-like ones, so I have decided to take an extra 1 tsp. And 5 mg valium. This will make for a total of 3 teaspoons, and total 4 ½ grams of kratom 'super' grade. I decided to make a tea out of this one, so nuked about ¼ C water in the microwave, soaked the teaspoon of kratom in it for a few minutes, then mixed in some apple juice and sugar. =) Now I wait.
8:13- I have no withdrawal effects at all from the opiates now…..this is a very promising thing! Yeah! One thing I was not anticipating was being hungry. I feel starving but am afraid that if I eat anything I will throw up, as I have read other reports of people experiencing stomach problems. This seems to be a very mental drug - think happy thoughts, and all is good. =) Then, isn’t everything like that?
8:18, I read that the ‘speedy’ effects last for about 90 minutes….good - then they should be over soon and I can get on with the good stuff. I am currently munching slowly on jelly beans as I still want to see where I go on an empty stomach...but just can't contain myself. I hope the little batch of sugar doesn’t come back to bite me. I know I always read these reports and say, ‘Oh God, no, you didn’t just do ______ (take a double dose after 10 minutes, drink liquor to calm an upset stomach, etc.). Lets hope my jellybeans don’t fall under that category.
8:22- Feeling slightly warm and sweaty… then, that could just be the withdrawal symptoms coming back.
8:27- When I’m coming up on MDMA, I feel hot yet cold at the same time, and vaguely sweaty. I’m experiencing the exact same feeling now, but with a calmer edge to it. I think I’ll go inside and read a book.
8:29- My heart rate is slightly increased. =) Time to lay down and enjoy the upping.
8:44 (I had my husband write this for me from the other room) Eye lids heavy but still mentally alert, I'd like to sleep, yet dont. It feels good to lie down.
8:55- Feeling much more mellow. My heart seems to speed up and slow down occasionally, but nothing that a cup of coffee wouldn’t do. I really want to lie down and listen to some music…..but first, some food =).
10:45- Felt very sleepy, so turned off the light and listened to some music. The experience was definitely enhanced. I fell asleep.
11:20- I have since woken up. I would have liked some stronger effects as far as the ‘calming’ effects went, however, it’s always important to try something slowly, IMOHO, than hop in the deep end. One really good thing about the kratom was the pain relief I experienced, and the fact that I felt NO need to take hydrocodone- something I normally take 40-50mg of, 4 or 5 times a day- and for the first time in a long time, I missed a dose and felt fine! I've actually only taken 30mg now and feel fine. I believe I’ll be doing this again....alot - experimenting with doses and helping myself taper from the opiates. I have noticed slight irritablity on coming down, so have taken 2 5-HTP as well as 10 mg of valium for sleeping purposes. A final note: the jelly beans, and subsequent chips and salsa and pasta stayed down just fine!
Happy trips, everyone!

--- title: Cosme city: New York, USA date: 2018-07-15 mapleft: -270 maptop: -204 listdata: Cosme was the 2nd restaurant on the quest. It was ranked 40th in 2017 and jumped to 25th in 2018. idx: 2 tags: - post layout: layouts/post.njk ---
Cosme serves up “fresh Mexican cuisine from one of the hottest young chefs in the US”, Daniela Soto-Innes.
I’m a big fan of tasting menus where everything is decided for you—including the drink pairing. Cosme only does a la carte small plates, making it difficult to choose for just the two of us without ordering too much food. If you can go as a group of four, I think that’d be ideal. That way, everybody can order a couple different things and share.
Even still, Cosme was wonderful. The place was busy but you can still carry on a conversation without yelling. The food was wonderful. I highly recommend the mole with the flat iron steak.
The cocktails were fantastic, too. I kept with the Mexican theme and had a margarita and followed that up with a paloma. The paloma was perfection.
Anthony Bourdain said, “I would like people really to pay more for top-quality Mexican food. I think it's the most undervalued, underappreciated world cuisine with tremendous, tremendous potential.”
I think he’d be pleased with Cosme.
Verdict: If you find yourself in NYC with a group of friends, go here.
