![]() ![]() MRL co-founder David Galbraith, who instigated the local services project based on user reviews, came up with the name "Yelp". Max Levchin, the co-founders' former colleague as founding chief technology officer of PayPal and founder of MRL Ventures, provided $1 million in Angel financing. Stoppelman and Simmons conceived the initial idea for Yelp as an email-based referral network, after Stoppelman caught the flu and had a difficult time finding an online recommendation for a local doctor. Two former PayPal employees, Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons, founded Yelp at a business incubator, MRL Ventures, in 2004. The company's review system's reliability has also been affected by the submission of fake reviews by external users, such as false positive reviews submitted by a company to promote its own business or false negative reviews submitted about competing businesses – a practice sometimes known as " astroturfing", which the company has tried to combat in various ways.Ĭompany history (2004–present) Origins (2004–2009) Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder and CEO of Yelp ![]() There have also been complaints of aggressive and misleading tactics by some of its advertising sales representatives. The company has been accused of using unfair practices to raise revenue from the businesses that are reviewed on its site – e.g., by presenting more negative review information for companies that do not purchase its advertising services or by prominently featuring advertisements of the competitors of such non-paying companies or conversely by excluding negative reviews from companies' overall rating on the basis that the reviews "are not currently recommended". Over 50% of the company's audience has an annual household income of more than $100,000. In 2021, the company had 46 million unique visitors to its desktop webpages and 56.7 million unique visitors to its mobile sites. Īs of December 31, 2021, approximately 244.4 million reviews were available on its business listing pages. Yelp became a public company via an initial public offering in March 2012 and became profitable for the first time two years later. In 2009, it entered unsuccessful negotiations to be acquired by Google. From 2009 to 2012, Yelp expanded throughout Europe and Asia. By 2010, it had $30 million in revenue, and the website had published about 4.5 million crowd-sourced reviews. Yelp grew in usage and raised several rounds of funding in the following years. Yelp was founded in 2004 by former PayPal employees Russel Simmons and Jeremy Stoppelman. It is headquartered in San Francisco, California. It also operates Yelp Guest Manager, a table reservation service. is an American company that develops the website and the Yelp mobile app, which publish crowd-sourced reviews about businesses. If you're on the fence about having Kleinfeld help you with your block, do yourself a favor and reach out to them now! Angela L.Local search, business ratings and reviews, online food delivery, local homeowner services I couldn't be more thankful for Allyson and Kleinfeld. Allyson helped us reach out to several hotels, scheduling visits, making sure they had what we needed, and within a week we were able to sign a new contract. If it actually wasn't for Allyson, we might not have known our block was cancelled until this week since we didn't hear from the hotel. A week ago, 2 months before my wedding, the hotel we originally booked with had to cancel our reservation and thank God for Allyson! She reached out to us, offering help - and options - right away. The fact that I didn't have to contact any of the hotels myself to inquire was a HUGE plus, all I had to do was sign. I loved and appreciated how detailed the information was for each hotel option. I started working with Allyson a little over a year ago for my wedding in May. One of the best decisions I made as a bride was working with Kleinfeld Hotel Blocks. ![]()

My dad thought I'd grow out of it, but I still haven't," says Walsh, who fantasizes about parachuting in costume into a stadium on opening day. Walsh has just graduated from the University of Colorado, where he was a mascot, and he now dreams of reaching the NBA. In real life, the dragon is a special-education teacher, and the assorted other creatures include a professor, a mortgage broker, and a guy from Maine studying to be a funeral director. ![]() "Never walk around in public without your head on," a veteran mascot warns. It doesn't take long for me, the rookie, to earn my first demerit: going out in the hall half-dressed. All I have are a few faded spots and eyebrows drawn on with a magic marker. They bring signature moves like bouncing antlers and wormy head gyrations. Their muscles bulge and pot bellies roll. And looking down required scrunching up my shoulders like some sad hunchbacked puppy.īut my confidence really sinks as I suit up with my 15 fellow recruits, including Heater and Buddy, a purple bat from Louisville, Ky. Writing with four paws proved nearly impossible. Sure, the editor-in-chief stared at me oddly. Each season, fans spill an average of 35 beers on him and ask him to help with 16 marriage proposals.īefore arriving at boot camp, I rented a dog costume and practiced a few dance steps set to "Funkytown" in the newsroom. Victor Thomas, the dragon, says he'll hug 1,000 people and give 560 high-fives at a typical minor-league baseball game in Dayton, Ohio. "They don't realize how hot it is, how much it can weigh, how. "People think you're just running around," says Michael Walsh, who portrays Rapidman for the Colorado Rapids soccer team. Mascots say they can lose 10 pounds in a single game. Aptly, his character's name is Heater.Įven in my lightweight costume, I'm sweating. A fellow trainee's dragon costume weighs 45 pounds. The job is a mix of cheerleader, clown, cartoon character, and comedian. But for someone with the dance moves of a wooden board, the thought of performing at a halftime show seems as daunting as a 96-mile-an-hour fastball. ![]() Instead of push-ups and batting practice, I'm playing charades with large stuffed animals. ![]() This is my chance to prove I, too, can make it in the big leagues. I'm a big baseball fan with a photo album full of pictures of me posing with mascots at stadiums nationwide. No, I'm not looking for a bathroom - though it wouldn't be out of character, given that I am dressed as a dalmatian.Īs Scoop, the Monitor newshound, I'd reported for training at Mascot Boot Camp at the University of Delaware two days earlier, my tail wagging and paws held high. Scampering down the street, I lower my snout to the ground and sniff a fire hydrant. ![]() ![]() The primary muscles worked during the leg extension are the quadriceps, the muscles on the front of the thigh. Some people would benefit greatly from this exercise, especially bodybuilders, while others, due to orthopedic issues, would be prudent to take a pass. The same thing is true for the leg extension. But for some people, due to pre-existing injuries and or unfavorable biomechanics, barbell squats are actually not a good choice at all. The squat is widely considered the king of lower body exercises, much favored over the leg extension. "Bad" or "dangerous" exercises make good headlines and clickbait, but the best coaches today will tell you that no exercise is completely good or completely bad, there is only poor application and poor performance of any movement. No exercise should either be put on a pedestal or condemned without considering the context, including each individual's goals, needs and orthopedic condition. The truth is, almost every exercise has pros and cons, risks and benefits and should be evaluated and prescribed on that basis. This exercise has ended up on lists of "machines that hurt you," it has been called "non-functional," and has even been criticized as utterly ineffective.Īll of these statements are false. Leg extensions have gotten a bad rap in recent years. Recommended training gear for Smith machine hack squats 1.Skip to bottom of page for leg extension video demos This way, you maximise the blood flow to your quadriceps.Īnd if you're really hardcore, you can try my high-rep technique while wearing occlusion cuffs. ![]() The key is to only come 80% of the way back up on each rep. Naturally, this built-in safety gives you the confidence to train to failure, which in turn results in faster and more substantial quad development. And unlike a clumsy spotter, the safety catches will always have your back. You can re-rack the bar at any point in the rep with an effortless turn of the wrist. The beauty of hack squatting on the Smith machine is that you don't need a spotter. Then, on the last set, train to absolute failure (by which I mean finishing the final rep is impossible). Perform about 3 sets, leaving 1-2 reps in the tank on the first and second sets. But the gains are worth it.Įssentially, you want to pick a weight that you can do for at least 20-30 reps. It sets my quads on fire, and I have to hobble out of the gym (or these days, my home gym) like an old man. I love doing hack squats on Smith machine stations as a finisher. A feet-together stance makes you significantly weaker and does nothing extra for your legs besides make your knees work harder. However, modern-day exercise science proves their belief greatly wrong. Some old school bodybuilders think that this type of squatting decreases quad activation. This positioning opens up your hips which in turn enables you to flare your knees out. Secondly, make sure that your stance is at least hip-width, and if you have knee issues, shoulder width. ![]() As mentioned, this foot position makes you stronger because you're using more of your powerful gluteus maximus to lift the weight. But, with a few modifications, you can somewhat mitigate this stress (especially if you also invest in a reliable pair of knee sleeves).įirstly, take a step away from the Smith machine. However, this position also places the most stress on your patella. Keeping your feet close to your centre of gravity will indeed maximise quad recruitment because it allows for the most ROM at the knee joint. ![]() You must strike the right balance between quadriceps activation and knee health. When you're learning how to hack squat on Smith machine systems, your foot position can mean the difference between building kick-ass quads and stunting your leg gains-or worse, causing yourself permanent knee damage.
![]() Now, we define the method for the game steps. We choose the location for the food randomly. With this method, we place a new food at the beginning and after the snake eats the food. Y = random.randint(0, (self.h - BLOCK_SIZE) / BLOCK_SIZE) * BLOCK_SIZE X = random.randint(0, (self.w - BLOCK_SIZE) / BLOCK_SIZE) * BLOCK_SIZE As we start the game, the score is set to 0, the iteration of the frames is set to 0, and we place a new food. The initial direction is set to Right, the axis of the head is calculated, and the snake is created as a list. The reset function starts or restarts the game. Self.head = Point(self.w / 2, self.h / 2) The reset function will restart the game after each collision. Three dots at the end shows where the next part of code will be. Now we begin to create our game with the SnakeGameAI class. We set the colors, the size of the blocks or the spaces this window will contain, and the speed which can be changed as preferred. Using namedtuple, we create the dictionary to define x and y axis of an object. We initialize the pygame, set the font varibale and the directions. The font file is a separate file, it can be downloaded from the GitHub link in the reference. We are using Pygame library for this project. First, we import some necessary libraries and define some constants. ![]() We are also adding functions for placing the food, detecting collisions, taking the next step, and moving into that direction. In this file, we are using one class to define all the functions needed for the graphics. Run the agent.py file to run the whole project. Finally, we present the progress in a chart with the plotResult file. The model file contains the Q-learning model we are using for this project. The agent file trains the snake to perform and connects the functions of other files. It includes the snake, the food, the window, and the boundaries. The main file contains the creation of th graphics. The project is divided into four scripts. That is how the snake learns to play the game on its own using RL. The snake gets punished every time it hits any boundaries or itself, which means if any collision occurs. The reward is received every time the snake eats the food. Our snake will get a +10 as a reward and a -10 as a punishment. The goal is to receive the maximum reward. This equation calculates the next maximum reward based on a certain action at each state. ![]() This algorithm is a value based algorithm and it updates the value based on the Bellman equation. Using different algorithms, an agent is trained to complete a task without any human interaction.įor this project, we are using Q-learning algorithm. Reinforcement learning is a machine learning method where an agent learns to act in an environment depending on the rewards and punishments it gets. It means the agent/snake learns to move on it's own, avoid the collisions, and eat the food. In this article, we will explain a codebase where the classic Snake Game is developed using Reinforcement Learning. ![]() ![]() ![]() Either in terms of their behaviour or their beliefs and values about themselves and their lives. The examples above are all disturbing to people in one way or another, and what they all have in common is that these thoughts go against what the person knows themselves to be. Self-doubt thoughts: thoughts that you are not good enough or have made a mistake.Harm-related thoughts: getting sick or being in a dangerous situation.Blasphemous thoughts: going against religious or moral beliefs.Sexual thoughts: engaging in unwanted or inappropriate sexual activities.Violent thoughts: hurting oneself or others or causing harm.Intrusive thoughts categorize into five different categories: Shouting out unpleasant comments in public.Pushing someone in front of a train or jumping in front of a train yourself.Examples of unwanted, distressing intrusive thoughts: But so often, there is not it’s merely our immediate reaction to the thought (increased heart rate, questioning the validity, digging for answers) and not a reflection of our life or values that fuels the anxious cycle. This, in turn, makes the thought more threatening and can spiral into a confusing and scary place, showing the brain that there is something to worry about. This reaction then makes the individual think that because they have had the thought, that they may act on it. This reaction often occurs if the theme of the thought targets something very important in that person’s life. How some can let them come and go and how others latch onto them.įor example, an individual with a naturally overactive brain, or anxious tendencies could react to an intrusive thought from a feeling of fear. But why do they stick with some people when others can let them flow in and out? There is no clear answer to this, but a good analysis would be that it’s down to the response to the initial thought, which can form the path in how the thoughts grow or dissolve. Our brains have a negativity bias and favour negative thinking, and with that, some intrusive thoughts are inevitable. We feel like we have to find out more about the origin of the thought and what it means about us as a person. It’s our anxious response to them that fuels the intrusive thought cycle and therefore, we are not capable of brushing them aside and labelling them as meaningless. These thoughts that can stick with us, often disturbing thoughts that cause us deep anxiety and distress. Sometimes though, these thoughts can alarm us so much that they stick around for longer, which can result in conditions such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, but that is not to say if you have intrusive thoughts that, you have OCD. The content of these thoughts, although they may seem alien, scary, or confusing, can pass after a few moments. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bed bugs can survive and remain active at temperatures as low as 7☌ (46☏), but they die when their body temperatures reaches 45☌ (113☏).Egg-to-egg life cycle may take four to five weeks under favorable conditions.Each female may lay 1 to 3 eggs per day and 200-500 eggs per her lifetime (6-12 months but could be longer).To continue to mate and produce eggs, both males and females must feed at least once every 14 days.Each stage also requires the molting of skin.Bed bugs need at least one blood meal before the individual bug can develop to the next of the six life stages.The rusty or tarry spots found on bed sheets or in bug hiding places are because 20% of the time adults and large nymphs will void remains of earlier blood meals while still feeding.Even though they are primarily active at night, if hungry they will seek hosts in full daylight.Will readily travel 5-20 feet from established hiding places (called harborage) to feed on a host.Appear to prefer to feed on humans, but will feed on other mammals and birds as well.Understanding the behavior of bed bugs (how they eat, live, and reproduce) will help you to find an infestation before it becomes established and to monitor for the presence of bed bugs after your home has been treated.

Learn about identifying bed bugs.īites on the skin are a poor indicator of a bed bug infestation. If you misidentify a bed bug infestation, it gives the bugs more time to spread to other areas of the house or hitchhike a ride to someone else's house to start a new infestation. Other insects, such as carpet beetles, can be easily mistaken for bed bugs. However, low-level infestations are also much more challenging to find and correctly identify. Treating a minor infestation, while an inconvenience, is far less costly and easier than treating the same infestation after it becomes more widespread. If you have a bed bug infestation, it is best to find it early, before the infestation becomes established or spreads.

Storing eggs in the refrigerator door could lead to temperature fluctuations that can lead to bacteria growth. Keep the eggs in their carton and place them in the coldest part of the refrigerator, not in the door. Refrigeration - After the shell eggs reach home, it is very important to refrigerate them at a temperature of 45 ☏ or below. Although egg products have been processed, it is important to follow all cooking instructions on the packaging to ensure maximum safety. When purchasing egg products, look for containers that are tightly sealed and packages that are unopened. Specialty egg products can include pre-peeled hard-cooked eggs, egg salad, pre-cooked omelets, egg patties, quiches, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, and others. Egg products you see at the store may include whole eggs, egg whites, and egg yolks in frozen, refrigerated liquid, and dried forms available in a number of different product formulations like cake and cookie mixes, as well as specialty egg products. The term “egg products” refers to processed or ready-to-use forms of eggs obtained by breaking and processing shell eggs. Always purchase eggs before the sell-by or expiration date on the carton. The “sell-by” or “expiration” date is not required by the federal government, but may be required by the egg laws in the state where the eggs are marketed. This number, called the Julian Date, is a three-digit code that represents the consecutive day of the year starting with January 1 as 001 and ending with December 31 as 365. Egg cartons with the USDA grade shield on them must display the “pack date” or the day that the eggs were washed, graded, and placed in the carton. Many eggs reach stores only a few days after the hen lays them. Choosing a safe carton is just as important as proper handling and cooking your eggs. Don’t buy out-of-date eggs and look for the USDA grade shield or mark. Cracks and leakage can lead to contamination of the egg and could potentially cause illness. Open the carton and make sure there are no visible cracks or leaking eggs. Always purchase eggs from a refrigerated case. No matter what kind you decide to buy, making sure you choose a safe carton of eggs is extremely important. There are many choices for fresh or raw shell eggs available at stores today-brown or white, cage, cage-free, organic, free-range, or specialty eggs like omega 3.
