Yelping a Little More Personal
Yelp Inc. launched new personalization functionality that tailors the app to people's individual preferences and lifestyle. For the first time, when two users with different lifestyles open up the Yelp app from the same location, they'll see a completely different homescreen and search results based on their personal preferences. Yelp users will now find it easier to discover their favorite types of businesses, faster.
As part of the new update, users will be able to indicate their personal dietary and accessibility preferences, lifestyle attributes — like whether they're a parent or homeowner — and things they like to do. Yelp will do the heavy lifting by processing the information in real-time and transforming the user's homescreen and search results into a completely personalized experience represented by Yelp's newly created heart symbol — including search result rankings, shortcuts to filters, and personalized highlights that tell the user why they might like the business based on their preferences.
"As Yelp turns 15 this year, we're embarking on one of our most significant product updates with the introduction of a new personalized experience," said Vivek Patel, Yelp's chief product officer. "Yelp has always been a helpful discovery platform that surfaces great local businesses based on your search. By making it more personalized, we're saving people time and giving them an easy way to find the right business for them. Now, Yelp will help you discover businesses and activities based on who you are and what you like to do."
With its vast amount of rich content and data — which includes more than 192 million reviews, as well as millions of photos and attributes generated by an engaged community of users and business owners — Yelp is able to identify and surface business information that is deeply aligned with consumer needs. Rather than serving recommendations solely based on a user's search history, Yelp is starting an open conversation with consumers to better understand their preferences and interests in order to customize the app to show them what they want to see more of. The preferences a consumer shares with Yelp will only be visible to them, and the information will only be used to personalize their experience on Yelp.
Yelp is making it easier and faster than ever to find a business that's right "for you" based on personal preferences:
Dietary Preferences: 32 million Americans1 have food allergies and many more care about what they eat. Yelp is now surfacing information that helps people discover which restaurants have options for those who are gluten-free, halal, keto, kosher, pescatarian, vegan or vegetarian. Personalized highlights within their search results will identify if a restaurant has some or many food options based on their dietary preferences.
Food and Drink: People can choose from more than 30 food and drink categories — from brunch to happy hour, and Chinese to pizza — letting Yelp confidently recommend cuisines they'll enjoy most.
Interests: The new personalized Yelp experience will suggest more than just restaurants. People can also select their favorite things to do, so Yelp can recommend activities most relevant to them — including surfacing live music bars, farmers markets, date night spots, suggesting kids activities, hikes and more.
Lifestyle: Parents and pet owners can better plan their next outing with personalized shortcuts to filters. We're also helping people find their next go-to business, whether that's a new hair salon, massage spot or landscaper.
Accessibility: People who need wheelchair accessibility or gender neutral restrooms will benefit from greater visibility of relevant search filters and personalized highlights within their search results.
Personalizing Yelp is now an option for millions of app users, with all iOS users expected to have access this fall. The launch of a more personalized Yelp marks the beginning of major product changes the company is undertaking to significantly evolve and improve the consumer experience. In the next year, Yelp will unveil a new design of its app and website that better integrates all of Yelp's products that save consumers time and money, including Yelp Reservations, Waitlist and Request a Quote.
Long John Silver's Turns 50
Long John Silver's is celebrating its golden anniversary The first Long John Silver's opened in 1969 after an enterprising businessman and restaurateur named Jim Patterson experienced a truly exceptional Fish and Chips meal while vacationing on the coast.
"The idea of Long John Silver's was simple," Patterson said. "Take the unique seafood experience from the coast and make it accessible to all. It's what drives us to provide every guest who sails with us moments of sea-prise and delight, with ring-the-bell service and real fish sourced responsibly from real places."
In addition to making waves with its new grilled menu, Long John Silver's has also been making music and cranking out "fintastic" hits with its very own record label, Fish! Yeah Records. The seaworthy success of the record label this spring inspired a summer follow-up album celebrating Fishmas – the summer season of seafood. The brand has also been spreading Fishmas cheer with seafaring swagger and swag in an effort to sea-prise and delight its social media followers. These whimsical innovations have swept throughout the company's branding. Seen online, with their new website and in person with their redesigned packaging – both aimed to amplify the overall guest experience.
"We want to thank all the people who've joined us on this 50-year journey," said Stephanie Mattingly, CMO of Long John Silver's. "From the partnership of our franchisees and our restaurant crews to the guests they welcome aboard every day in our restaurants; the loyalty and continued support Long John Silver receives is what inspires us to seas every moment!"

Grubhub's marketplace will extend coverage to more than 3,000 locations between Applebee's and IHOP brands, giving diners even more opportunity to get their favorite dishes delivered. Grubhub and Dine Brands will be working towards a direct-to-POS integration for menu syncing and order submission across Applebee's and IHOP. Restaurants will receive orders directly to their existing in-house POS, creating a more efficient process in receiving and fulfilling orders. Additionally, Grubhub worked closely with Dine Brands to address the needs and requirements of its franchisees in the U.S. to give guests the best possible experience.

Through the Dine Brands partnership, franchisees who work with Grubhub as their preferred delivery marketplace will have access to additional marketing benefits, as well as advanced analytics capabilities made possible given the close nature of the partnership.
"We're excited about our expansion with Dine Brands, building out our relationship with two brands diners across the country know and love: Applebee's and IHOP," stated Seth Priebatsch, head of enterprise at Grubhub. "We worked closely to help Dine Brands build their online business while allowing them and their franchisees to 'own' their online diners. Now with our deeply-integrated partnership, even more guests have access to their favorites, whether that's pancakes for dinner or a classic cheeseburger for lunch."
Ordering through Grubhub for pickup and delivery will be available across more than 1,700 Applebee's and 1,300 IHOP locations across the U.S.

Domenech Named Executive Chef
L'Avenue at Saks, an upscale Parisian dining experience within the Saks Fifth Avenue flagship, has named Cedric Domenech Executive Chef of the American outpost, marking it L'Avenue's and the Costes Group's first endeavor outside of its critically-acclaimed landmark in Paris.
With more than 15 years of experience in the culinary industry, Chef Cedric Domenech is excited to be a part of the L'Avenue at Saks team, where he is bringing the beloved Parisian menu to the New York market. In his role, he will spearhead all matters pertaining to food and beverage, alongside a masterful team of 60 culinarians. The restaurant's menu, curated by Chef Didier Coly of the premier Costes Group, has been finessed by Chef Domenech to cater to American fare and local audiences, while maintaining a close resemblance to the dishes presented at L'Avenue in Paris.
Designed by renowned architect Philippe Starck, L'Avenue at Saks marks the first and only venture for L'Avenue outside Paris. The restaurant spans two floors with a French art deco-inspired dining room and Le Chalet — a bar and lounge that offers cozy après-ski style interiors, accompanied by a chic outdoor terrace. The main dining room features an all-day menu of traditional French, Asian and American cuisines, and desserts by world-renowned French pâtissier Pierre Hermé, plus an exclusive cocktail menu by mixologist Nico de Soto. Signature dishes include Avocado and Tuna Tartar, Morel Rigatoni, Tom Yam Chili Sea Bass, Spicy Thai Beef Tenderloin and more.
Chef Domenech shared, "I am truly humbled and honored to be a part of the L'Avenue at Saks culinary team here in America." Adding, "As I continue to discover new, regional ingredients and seasonality, I am excited to share my ideas for new dishes and memorable events with my counterparts abroad. Everyday, my amazing team and I work to bring a fresh and creative approach to the kitchen. From facilitating provisions with suppliers or putting the last touches on a plate before it is served to our guests, I ensure each dish is reflective of the Parisian and Asian-inspired cuisine that have become synonymous with the Paris restaurant scene."
Growing up in the South of France, Chef Domenech learned the basics of cooking at a young age from his grandmother, who taught him everything from how to cook with olive oil to picking out the best produce from their backyard. After five years of culinary school, where he learned from and worked alongside notable Chef Gilles Goujon at L'Auberge du Vieux Puits, Chef Domenech moved on to work under Alain Ducasse in London and Las Vegas. Prior to L'Avenue at Saks, Chef Domenech was the Chef de Cuisine for Sylvain Portay at Le Bilboquet in New York City.

Hillary Clinton responds to 'would you shut up, man' moment at presidential debate
FILE – In this Oct. 9, 2016, file photo Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton speak during the second presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis. The second 2016 presidential debate was two days after the release of the 2005 "Access Hollywood" tape of Trump boasting about grabbing women by the genitals, and Trump was determined to change the narrative. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
(NEXSTAR) – The notion of "looking presidential" went out the window early in Tuesday's debate in Cleveland between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.
Within minutes of taking the stage the candidates began speaking over each other, muddling their messages to the American public and devolving the supposed debate into an exchange largely divorced from real solutions to the economic and health crises facing the country.
Mr. Trump seemed intent on disrupting his opponent, even forcing host Chris Wallace to stop the proceedings and ask him to adhere to the debate rules and allow his opponent to speak. At one point, after being badgered by Trump during a segment on the Supreme Court, Biden asked of the president "will you shut up, man?"
Who won? Six moments that defined the first debate
Author Jill Filipovic called it the moment of the night, before referencing Hillary Clinton's restraint under similar circumstances in 2016. Her comment drew a response from Clinton herself.
You have no idea.
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 30, 2020
In many ways, the focus on racism, Trumps credibility and competence mirrored the first debate of 2016, however Clinton avoided the same level of back and forth bickering that Biden and Trump undertook Tuesday.
Like Clinton, Biden has a clear polling lead just over a month out from the election. Though Biden enjoys a slightly larger margin in battleground states that swung the 2016 campaign. There are also fewer remaining undecided voters than in 2016, and it remains to be seen how those few voters were swayed by what they saw on stage in Cleveland Tuesday night.

Bulgarian Parliament votes to make minimum 4mm tread depth on tyres compulsory from November 15 to March 1
Written by The Sofia Globe staff on November 24, 2016 in Bulgaria - Comments Off on Bulgarian Parliament votes to make minimum 4mm tread depth on tyres compulsory from November 15 to March 1
Bulgaria's National Assembly voted on November 24 to require motorists to use tyres with a minimum tread depth of four mm every year from November 15 to March 1, a compromise on an initial proposal that the use of winter tyres should be compulsory during that time.
The tyres must have a tread equal to or greater than four mm. Up to now, the tread requirement was 1.6mm.
The compromise on the amendment means that motorists would be able to use summer tyres during winter if the tyres are in good condition and meet the tread requirements. The idea is that in some parts of Bulgaria, winters are relatively mild and snow tyres are not essential.
The compromise, proposed by GERB MP Tsvetomir Mihov, was backed by 76 MPs and three abstained.
The amendments to Bulgaria's Road Traffic Act, among a number of changes to the law voted on at second reading on November 24, caused disputes within the parliamentary group of Boiko Borissov's GERB party, Parliament's largest.
GERB MP Delyan Dobrev said that the use of winter tyres was not compulsory in countries in the northern hemisphere. There was not even a European directive requiring them, Dobrev said.
"Suddenly we are burdening millions Bulgarian households with an obligation to buy winter tyres," Delyan Dobrev said.
GERB MP Kiril Dobrev said that it was not necessary to have a European directive to accept a reasonable solution, while GERB's Krassimir Velchev said that requiring winter tyres would not be a burden.
Backing the compromise, Patriotic Front MP Dimitar Bayraktarov said that the point was important one, so that the clause in the law would be in favour of the public and their safety but also not to their detriment.
The National Assembly also outlawed the controversial practice in Bulgaria of illicit high-speed road races (not to be confused with everyday driving in Bulgaria – actual informally organised events, customarily held at night).
Participants in such road races would be banned from driving for 12 months, fined 3000 leva (about 1532 euro) for a first offence and 5000 leva for second and further offences.
MPs also voted stricter measures regarding motorists who recently got their driving licences.
Newly-qualified drivers are to be forbidden from driving faster than 120km/h on motorways (the speed limit on Bulgarian motorways is 140km/h) and if driving between midnight and 6am, must be accompanied by a driver with at least three years' experience.
Motorists who recently acquired a licence also must display on the car's front or read window a sign that the driver is newly-qualified.
The amendments also ban motorists from driving in the emergency lane.
In Bulgaria, when there are serious traffic jams or slowdowns on motorways, it is common practice for some motorists to evade the traffic by driving along the right-hand lane meant to be reserved for emergency vehicles or emergency stopping.
Drivers of animal-drawn vehicles must wear reflective vests at night, MPs voted.

We received so many compliments on our balloon garland from our Toy Story post that I knew it was essential for us to write a step-by-step guide that illustrated how to assemble a balloon garland. You will not believe how easy and inexpensive this project is! Your guests will gasp when then see it!
What is the ultimate theatre and art experience? The experience you can eat!! On our recent trip to Barcelona, we splurged by partaking in a 23 course sensory dining experience. Ok, I know what you're thinking… how on earth can you eat 23 courses in one setting? Some courses were one or two bites, and each course was paced in a comfortable manner. Our three hour meal flew by just as if we were watching a highly-trained Broadway play. If you're a real food nerd like me, you have heard of place called El Bulli. The chefs at Disfrutar used to work at El Bulli (once ranked #1 restaurant in the world). El Bulli has now closed its doors, but lucky for us, some of its chefs opened Disfrutar! In a city filled with top-notch restaurants, Disfrutar has been ranked #18 in the world!
Each year we strive to create a unique and elegant Christmas card. We were pleased with our cards but a little embarrassed about how the envelopes looked (confession- my handwriting is not that stellar). We would admire those rare envelopes that displayed handwritten calligraphy. How could we get those stunning envelopes without hiring a calligrapher? Recently, I figured out a way to replicate the look of handwritten calligraphy with my Cricut Explore Air 2!! You do not have to stop with your envelopes; I will show you how to make lovely Christmas cards too.
We grow a serious amount of citrus in the Lam household. During both lemon and lime season, we're continually scratching our heads to determine how we can use up all our citrus. My son is a budding entrepreneur; we thought it would be fitting to squeeze all the lemon juice and build a lemonade stand for him!


The global sharing economy continues to transform the online payments landscape, as we know it. In a time when virtually anyone can sell goods or services on the internet, real-time merchant onboarding and risk and fraud monitoring capabilities have become imperative.
At YapStone, we know this very keenly because the bulk of our users are not simply selling products to strangers they will never meet – they are inviting consumers into their homes.
Twenty years ago, we couldn't have imagined we'd be comfortable inviting complete strangers to stay in our home for extra income, but thanks to vacation rental marketplaces like HomeAway and Kigo, "living like a local" has become the preferred way to travel. As a result of this undeniable trend, YapStone now processes about $18 billion (and growing) in electronic peer-to-peer transactions every year.
Further challenges to marketplaces are emerging with the rise of Alternative Payment Methods (APMs). Consumers in different countries or regions have their APMs of choice, using them to pay securely with their local currency. As the payment partner, we have to ensure that these customers can securely pay using their preferred payment methods in their local currency and that sellers can receive the funds seamlessly in their local currency.
YapStone has been able to capitalize on the growth of apartment and vacation rentals, where the average ticket size is large and risk high, by developing proprietary technology focused on reducing the risk of fraud and loss to our marketplace partners. YapStone's trust and safety solutions are highly flexible and designed to service all marketplace types, allowing us to diversify our portfolio and grow our business beyond apartment and vacation rental marketplaces.
YapStone is unique in that we offer a full service, end-to-end payments acceptance, customer service, and risk management solution, including instant and advanced payments, to our marketplace partners. Therefore, it is a necessity for YapStone to verify the traveler and authorize their payment method, as well as verify the vacation property's existence and ownership, as well. Our goal is to deliver trust and safety to our marketplace partners, allowing them to spend more time focused on growing their business, while leaving risk management to the expert team at YapStone.
YapStone uses a layered, risk-based approach focused on the persona of any particular client interaction. Within the persona, we are continuously monitoring the purchaser of the good or service, the payment instrument being presented, and the asset or property they are renting. To accomplish this, YapStone utilizes proprietary data science and predictive analytics augmented with 3rd party data to achieve the most accurate risk scoring.
Given our scale, and the risk associated with high average tickets and the speed at which fraud can happen, it was critical for us to choose a tool that allows a risk analyst to react quickly to an escalating threat.
In 2017, we selected Provenir as a key strategic partner in the development of YapStone's next generation risk management platform. The tool provides the ability to house our proprietary underwriting and fraud models, serve as the hub for our 3rd party risk vendor integrations delivering powerful adapters to augment our proprietary risk methodologies and data, and conduct A/B and regression testing for new or proposed model changes, all delivered through a simplified user interface that doesn't require a PhD in computer science to use.
We maintain a highly competitive edge over other payment facilitators because of the way we mitigate risk for our marketplace partners and assume the liability for each transaction. Using our proprietary technology in partnership with Provenir, YapStone is able to provide marketplaces high levels of automation for merchant onboarding and risk management aimed at improving speed to revenue and reducing losses for our clients.
We have a very exciting future ahead of us, made particularly bright by having partners like Provenir who help us deliver innovative solutions to our customers. As we expand into new territories, the demand for innovation in risk decisioning will be high. The team at YapStone looks forward to staying on the forefront of this new wave of marketplace payments.

But the UK had no lack of foreign currency. And Ireland was a net exporter of food.
Great Famine (Ireland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cecil Woodham-Smith, an authority on the Irish Famine, wrote in The Great Hunger: Ireland 1845-1849 that no issue has provoked so much anger and embittered relations between England and Ireland as "the indisputable fact that huge quantities of food were exported from Ireland to England throughout the period when the people of Ireland were dying of starvation." Ireland remained a net exporter of food throughout most of the five-year famine.[fn 4]
Christine Kinealy writes that Irish exports of calves, livestock (except pigs), bacon and ham actually increased during the famine. The food was shipped under guard from the most famine-stricken parts of Ireland. However, the poor had no money to buy food and the government then did not ban exports.[66]
Ireland in that period is an example of what happens to a subordinate region that suffers a shock where the general population is denied the money to buy the basics, even the basics produced in their own region.
by A swedish kind of death on Wed Feb 13th, 2013 at 02:29:56 PM EST
But this is essentially the Spanish dynamic (and to some extent the Greek): Cash crops replace food crops. That the cash crops happened to be food meant that the Irish, had they had an independent government acting in the national interest, could have readily converted cash crop to food crop. Spain is not so fortunate.

Q: The global variable from a function() within a different .py file isnt being found within Python script? The 'myName' variable isn't found when I use the following function from my func.py file. However, if I use the code directly into wordguess.py (rather than using a function version of it) the variable is found and it works.
def enter_name():
  global myName
    # Ask the a player for their username
  print("What is your username:")
  myName = input()[0:6]
  print("\n")
  while len(myName)==0:
    print("Please enter your username (Max 6 characters in length):")
    myName = input()
  print("Hi, " + str(myName) + ", welcome to the Word Guessing Game!")
  print("\n")

I then call func.enter_name() within the main script. I am using import func to include the func.py file. However i get the below error:
  File "wordguess.py", line 116, in main
    outputWriter.writerow({'Name' : myName, 'Date' : dtFullDate, 'Attempts' : attempts, 'Word Chosen' : wordChosen})
NameError: name 'myName' is not defined

If I instead paste the code within enter_name() directly into the main script it seems to work (I've looked at Using global variables in a function but can't figure out the issue). This is the code which raises the error:
with open('scoreboard.csv', 'a', newline='') as outputFile:
        outputWriter = csv.DictWriter(outputFile, ['Name', 'Date', 'Attempts', 'Word Chosen'])
        outputWriter.writerow({'Name' : myName, 'Date' : dtFullDate, 'Attempts' : attempts, 'Word Chosen' : wordChosen})
        outputFile.close()

Not sure if the csv module has anything to do with the problem.

A: As per the advice from the comments:

*

*I wrote the function call as func.enter_name()

*Set 'global myName' within the enter_name() function

*Used 'func.myName' when importing the variable

They treat woman to fully respect the man or the parents of their family a lot. They are submissive and value gender roles. They Are Great Mothers Asian women make excellent mothers.
They Are Loyal Family is the most important to Asian woman. While not every girl is the same, they all do share some special traits that are unique to Thai ladies.
There are nothing more that they will concern about how happy of their family. They have so much love, appreciation, care, companionship and loyalty to offer, and it's no wonder that men from countries around the world wish to marry them. They take relationships and marriage seriously. These mothers center their lives around their families, often putting their own needs and desires aside in order to do the best by their loved ones. Most of them still breastfeed their infants in order to provide the best start for their lives.
They do come across as shy, but that's really only because they know when it is appropriate to display their affection - usually in private when they are alone with their men. And Thai woman, if you marry her, you will find that she is house-proud, devoted to her family and a wonderful housekeeper.
Specially Thai women never forget their heritage and family values. And there you will see how they want to impress you. All women are, and in starting a relationship with one, you must be prepared to communicate.
If you're looking for a woman with high family standards and cultural values, you should consider dating Asian singles. They Are Affectionate Sweet, Sincere, affectionate and loving, Asian women offer a kind of affection that men today are not accustomed to. While Asian women are a treasure for any man, they are usually under-appreciated in their own countries. Asian woman cares a lot about learning new things, languages and they care about issues that matter, and they love to discuss world news, bathmate hydro pump yahoo dating scientific advancements and more. They Are Polite We can see in Asian culture.
But Thai women are steeped in a culture which dates back centuries. Specially Thai women are generally polite, most of them have good relationship with mothers-in-law or your family easily. They Are Good Conversationalists The education is important, and open mind is important too. She will cherish your family and remain faithful until death do you part. Somewhere along the line, traditional values of many cultures have slipped to become a universal culture, and the mystical romance of tradition has been lost along the way.
They are not too concerned about celebrity gossip and other frivolous topics.
