In June of this year, Dead Beat Media and Slaughterhouse Records teamed up for the release of a split seven-inch EP featuring WARMASTER, along with Malaysian warlords HUMILIATION. A sampler of the split is now playing at this location.
Ordering info for the split and The End of Humanity can be found at the links below:
Formed in 2004, WARMASTER arose from the underground empowered by one demo and gained a rabid following. By 2006 the band extended to a full line up to play lots of gigs and festivals. WARMASTER debut album, First War was released on Dutch Metal Records in 2008. Many European live shows, followed and touring with bands like Grave, Jungle Rot, Sadistic Intent, Fleshcrawl, Zombie Inc. increased WARMASTER’s ever growing reputation. After some lineup changes and with newly found energy and creativity, WARMASTER recorded a new album and a split EP with Humiliation. The split EP is released in June 2013 on Deadbeat Media and Slaughterhouse Records. The 2nd full-length album, The End of Humanity will be out on October 30th, 2013.

Research on Countermeasures of Network Collaborative Filtering Based on Genetic Algorithm
Download as PDF
Xuechun Yang, Xing Ma, Shuai Zheng, Yongmei Bao
CF(Collaborative Filtering) also faces some problems. Such as cold start problem, scalability problem and data sparsity problem. The cold start problem is divided into system cold start, user cold start and project cold start. By using GA, the differentiation of user similarity is improved, which is beneficial for rating prediction and recommendation. Different from the classic CF algorithm, we use the constructed GA to predict the vacancy value in the scoring matrix before calculating the similarity. The crossover operation in GA selects the parent chromosome based on the crossover probability, and generates new chromosomes through crossover calculation. This paper attempts to study the countermeasures of network CF problem based on GA(Genetic Algorithm). The experimental results show that when the data is extremely sparse, the Mae of various algorithms will increase, but the algorithm in this paper has the minimum Mae value, which keeps around 0.79 on average, reflecting that the algorithm in this paper can better adapt to the data with different sparsity. Through the matrix filled with GA, the similarity of users is calculated, and the nearest neighbor set of the target user is found. In the process of crossover and mutation. The evolution of individuals is easy to produce infeasible individuals. After we get the nearest neighbor set of the target user, we can predict the user's score of unrated items according to the evaluation of the user's nearest neighbors.

title: Tone your midsection with emsculpt

text:
No matter how hard we may try it can be close to impossible to get the shape that we really want. That statement rings even more true when speaking upon the midsection.
You can find yourself in the gym for three hours straight and feel good about the progress you’ve made towards your abdomen area.
One bite of a burger can seemingly reverse all of those results in an instant. Not to mention old age, which affects everyone can leave your midsection sagging as well.
For those that just can’t seem to break through and get the stomach they have been dying for, there’s good news. A New You Aesthetics in Temecula, California are now offering the revolutionary Emsculpt treatment.
What Is Emsculpt?
Emsculpt is a completely non-surgical, non-invasive and pain free way to lift the buttocks, flatten the midsection and produce defined abs.
Fat is burned and muscle mass is built by contracting the muscles at a much higher rate than humanly possible when compared to simply working out.
The results of Emsculpt are in fact backed by several studies. These studies have shown that both fat loss and defined muscle tone to both the stomach and buttocks are achievable through Emsculpt after just four treatments.
How Does Emsculpt Work?
To say that Emsculpt works differently when compared to other procedures would be putting it mildly.
Other treatments place an emphasis on getting rid of the unwanted fat that you have, while Emsculpt focuses on both eliminating that fat and building muscle in its place.
Electromagnetic energy is sent to the targeted area and the process of eliminating fat and building muscle begins through contractions. These contractions cannot be achieved by simply working out no matter how devoted to a gym lifestyle you might be.
What Can I Expect With Treatment?
Before anything actually occurs, a consultation with Dr. Nalan Narine must take place in order to understand what exactly is the goals of the patient. Each plan that is developed is unique to that customer and their specific goals.
You can also expect to undergo several treatments. Ideally patients have benefited the most from taking place in at least four treatments that occur within several days of one another.
Once treatment has been fully completed you should see results in just a few short weeks, which can last up to six months or longer in certain cases.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsculpt?
Just about every and anyone can make a good candidate for Emsculpt. Remember this treatment is non-invasive and presents no physical harm to patients.
Upon your arrival, a consolation specialist will guide you along the way to see if Emsculpt is the right choice for you.

title: Recipe 34 fruit crisp

text:
Until I started making this recipe several years back, I’d never realized how much people (myself included) like fruit crisp. Of any kind. Seriously, take any fruit, some sugar or other sweetener, and some crunchy, carby topping, and bake in the oven. It’s always a crowd-pleaser, especially when the nights turn slightly chilly and you can feel autumn in the air.
I call this recipe the Three-Quarter Fruit Crisp because it uses three-quarter measurements of most of the ingredients, and calling it that helps me remember how to make it. I adapted this from a recipe I found years ago in a magazine that was maybe called Organic Style, but I don’t think it’s in print anymore. You can use any fruit that you like — some recommended combos on the old recipe card are apple and cranberry, pear and quince, and peach and blueberry.
Supplies for blackberry-picking expedition; Arlo is ready for some serious berry picking!
I used blackberries, which we went out and picked as a family outing. I’m not sure if the kids look forward to doing this every year, but they don’t grumble too much and they both love the end result — return on their investment, as it were. Besides the hard-won blackberries, I threw in a cup of peaches, which were about to turn mushy on our kitchen counter. I’ve also made this with just apples, which I cooked in a pan for about 10 minutes beforehand for a sweeter, mushier, but still delicious experience.
Blackberries in their natural habitat; hard at work and thinking of the yummy prize at the end.
Three-Quarter Fruit Crisp
3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 stick of cold butter (6T)
4 cups chopped fruit I almost always use 3 cups of one kind of fruit and 1 cup of a second kind — 3/4, get it?
Fresh lemon juice for sprinkling on the fresh fruit
The 13-year-old can happily reach the highest berries; mission accomplished!
Step 1: Wash and chop up 4 cups of any fruit that you like. You can even use frozen fruit (no need to thaw it out). Sprinkle the fruit with lemon juice and then put the fruit into a medium-sized casserole dish or several smaller, individual baking dishes.
Step 2: Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into bits and add it to the flour mixture. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a fork until you get a crumbly consistency.
Step 3: Sprinkle the topping evenly over the fruit. Bake at 375° (300 + 3/4 of a hundred, are you with me?) for a little less than an hour. I’d love to tell you to bake it for three-quarters of an hour, but mine usually takes more like 50-55 minutes.
Step 4: The crisp is done when the fruit is bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm, either plain, with whipped cream, or with ice cream. Expect more than three-quarters of your revelers to ask for seconds, thirds, or fourths even!

Solar PV technology trends: A comparative assessment of PERC, SHJ, and TOPCON technologies
Solar cell technology is constantly evolving, with manufacturers and researchers always seeking ways to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve reliability. In recent years, three cell technologies have emerged as leaders in the industry: PERC, SHJ, and TOPCon. In this article, we will compare and contrast these three technologies and explore their drivers, benefits, potential risks, and challenges.
PERC (Passivated Emitter and Rear Cell) PERC technology is an evolution of the conventional crystalline silicon solar cell. It incorporates a passivation layer on the rear side of the cell, which reduces surface recombination and improves carrier lifetime and cell voltage. PERC cells typically have a voltage of around 720 mV and can achieve efficiencies of up to 23%.
SHJ (Silicon Heterojunction) SHJ technology uses a combination of crystalline silicon and amorphous silicon layers to create a heterojunction. This allows for superior surface passivation quality, which improves carrier lifetime and increases cell voltage even further. SHJ cells typically have a voltage of around 750 mV and can achieve efficiencies of up to 24%.
TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) TOPCon technology is a newer technology that is fundamentally compatible with the conventional Si solar cell process. It uses a physical separation of rear metal from bulk Si, which reduces surface recombination and improves carrier lifetime and cell voltage. TOPCon cells are inherently bifacial and can achieve very high bifaciality. They have a voltage of around 730 mV and can achieve efficiencies of up to 25%.
Drivers & Benefits The main drivers of these technologies are increased efficiency, improved surface passivation, and reduced light-induced degradation. The benefits of these technologies include higher power output, improved temperature coefficient, and reduced sensitivity to metallic impurities. TOPCon and SHJ technologies are inherently bifacial, which means they can capture sunlight from both sides of the cell and increase power output. This also makes them ideal for building-integrated PV applications, where the panels can be used as both a facade and a power source.
Potential Risks & Challenges While these technologies offer many benefits, there are also some potential risks and challenges. One of the main challenges is that current production cells are close to practical efficiency limits, so further improvements will be difficult. TOPCon and SHJ technologies have higher tool costs and a substantially different manufacturing process, which may increase the cost of production. Additionally, there may be concerns about reliability and durability with these newer technologies, particularly as they have less production history than PERC cells.
Another challenge with TOPCon and SHJ technologies is that their bifaciality is lower compared to PERC cells. This means that they are less effective at capturing sunlight from both sides of the cell, which can limit their power output in certain applications.
Summary In summary, PERC, SHJ, and TOPCon cell technologies all offer significant benefits for solar cell efficiency and performance. Each technology has its unique strengths and weaknesses, and the choice of which to use will depend on the specific needs of the application. The table below summarizes the comparison between these technologies.
Technology | Efficiency | Bifaciality | Tool Cost | Production History |
PERC | Up to 23% | No | Low | Established |
SHJ | Up to 24% | Yes | High | Moderate |
TOPCon | Up to 25% | Very high | High | Newer |
As the solar industry continues to grow, we can expect to see further advancements in solar cell technology. With the ongoing demand for renewable energy, there is a growing need for more efficient and reliable solar cells.

Facebook Graph API Changes
As of August 1, 2018, Facebook has changed the Facebook Graph API permissions and fields that can be requested. Auth0 has updated Facebook Connections to reflect these changes and modified the connection interface for clarity. See Facebook Login Changelog: Recent Changes to Facebook Login for complete details and key dates.
The update may not require changes to your code or configuration, but your application might receive additional profile data if the existing permissions allow it. Keep in mind that:
If your Facebook connection is configured to request one of the removed permissions, your Access Token will not get them in scope.
If your Facebook application is marked as "development" then you may still see an error temporarily while trying the connection.
If you add new permissions to the connection, end users will be prompted for consent next time they log in. See the Facebook documentation for how to handle actions for users that don't have a specific permission.
Facebook login permissions
Facebook Login permissions are requested by your application when a user logs in using Facebook. If the user is logging in for the first time or if the permissions have changed, they will be shown a consent window in Facebook showing the new permissions requested. Once those permissions are granted, your application can then act on behalf of that user with a Facebook access token.
The Facebook Connection interface has been updated to show both the regular name as well as the machine name for all permissions displayed. This makes it easier to find the permissions you need and map that to any code you might be running using these permission names.
The following permissions were added to the Facebook connection interface:
The following permissions were removed from the Facebook connection interface:
Permissions moved to deprecated
The following permissions were moved to the Deprecated section and should not be used with the latest version of the Graph API:
Facebook Graph API fields
The Facebook Graph API is used after a user logs in to retrieve profile data for the Auth0 user. The user data permissions requested determine what information is retrieved from the Graph API. The fields that are returned depend on the permissions requested and the existence of those fields in the Facebook user profile.
This change upgraded the Graph API from v2.8 to v3.2 and will ask for the following user data fields on login:


title: Do not disturb pampering in progress

We just had our 13th year Wedding Anniversary a week ago and I couldn't be more happier with this guy who still gives me butterflies to my stomach everytime. I know that sounds cheesy but it's true and I am not shy to tell the world that. He makes me smile and laugh all the time and I love him very much for that!
So on the day of our anniversary, I was very happy that he took a day off, I thought that was very sweet. I have been bugging him to goo to the doctor and have his skin lump checked and he has been putting it off. I am glad he scheduled one on our anniversary so that's what he did in the morning. The doctor was worried about the lump growing on his skin so he was advised to go to a specialist. He had his blood work done but we have yet to get the result. I hope and pray that it's nothing serious.
I was gonna cook at home but he suggested that we check out this Thai and Japanese restaurant called Papaya out in Robinson Mall area. So after his doctor's appointment, we head out to the place and it was already 2:30 at that time. When we arrived, they just closed and won't be opened again till an hour after. Such a disappointment! We drove all the way there but only to find them close, ugh. We did not wait because our son had a football game later that day so we just went to another restaurant to eat.
These two kept us entertained while we waited for our food.
I was already stressed out because we didn't have much time to eat and drive back home for our son's game. I tend to mess my hair when I am stressed out and it is evident on the photo.
Watching the football game with our son's team relaxed us a bit. I am glad that I have this Beauty Box 5 to have a little me-time time after a long day. The August box contained Retinol spa treatment mask which was my favorite. It also includes hair ties which is perfect for my long hair, an olive natural beauty elixir that is perfect for my skin, a hot oil therapy treatment, and facial exfoliating brush. I don't exfoliate that often but glad to have this brush.
So that night, I put the sign Do Not Disturb: Pampering in Progress on my door and I had my 10-20 minutes me-time pampering my skin and hair.BeautyBox5 is really a good subscription if you want to try 5 different products every month. I love trying new product especially for my hair and skin. I hope they include some type of new perfume next month or lotion that I haven't tried yet.
Disclosure: The owner of this blog was NOT financially compensated to write this review. I was provided with the product/s mentioned to help me facilitate this review but opinions are my own.


title: Financing

The way you approach mortgage shopping can literally save thousands of dollars. Take time to understand the system and make educated decisions. Doing so may very well cost you less over a shorter period of time.
Get pre-approved. Don't skip this step. Getting pre-approved is fast, easy and free. A written pre-approval includes a completed credit application and a certificate guaranteeing you a mortgage to a specified amount. With one in your pocket, you won't waste time looking at homes you can't afford.
Instead, you can invest your time shopping for the home of your dreams.
Examine your finances. How much can you afford to spend? While a lender will tell you how much you qualify for, it's up to you to figure how big a payment fits into your budget. What monthly dollar amount do you feel comfortable committing to? Remember to consider related costs such as insurance and taxes, as well as interest and principle.
Consider what type of loan is best for you. Compare fixed-rate with adjustable rate mortgages. Look down the road. Where will you be in 15 years, 30 years? What obligations might you have? Take those things into consideration as you choose a loan.
Check your Credit Report. A lender will run a credit report on you (it only takes a few minutes), but you'll be ahead of the game if you acquire a copy first. You'll know exactly what's on it and be able to correct any inaccuracies.
Shop Around. When you're ready to get a loan, explore your options. You can choose either a direct lender or a mortgage broker.
A direct lender has money to lend and makes the final decision on your loan. Brokers are intermediaries who choose from many lenders. A broker may be able to help find you a loan if you have special financing needs, but he or she will also receive a percentage of what you borrow.
While you're shopping for a loan, also look for the best loan costs.
These may include:
Be aware. Don't let hidden costs sneak up on you. Ask your lender for a written estimate.
Apply for a loan. Gather all the documents you'll need to verify your loan application. Lenders will want to know your job tenure, employment stability, income, assets (property, cars, bank accounts and investments) and your liabilities (auto loans, mortgages, installment loans, credit-card debt, household expenses and others).
You'll need to provide documents such as paycheck stubs, bank account statements and tax returns. Check with your lender or broker for more information.
Lock it down. With interest rates changing daily, locking down your rate can prove a big money saver. A rate lock - in writing - guarantees you a certain rate and terms for a specified period of time. Lock in all the costs you can, including interest rates and points. And try to set the lock at the time of application, not at approval. This will protect you from rising rates.
Your lock-in period should be long enough to allow for all processing time. Most lock periods range from 15 to 60 days. Make sure to check with your lender or broker about the average time it takes them to process a loan.
Ask about Pre-payment. You can shave years off the length of your mortgage by restructuring the way you pay back your loan. Simply paying more frequently can save thousands in interest. So can making a lump payment toward the principle - or paying a little more each month. These methods are called pre-payment.
Not all loans allow for pre-payment. If you want the option, discuss it with your lender or broker.
Clear up any financial problems. Do you have credit problems or owe money to the IRS? Buying a new home may still be a possiblity. Contact a financial advisor or tax resolution service to find solutions.

title: Rugged refined contemporary farmhouse chicago suburbs

text:
This stunning contemporary farmhouse was designed by Northworks Architects, nestled along Chicago’s Northshore, in Lake Forest, Illinois. Though the entire home is new, it was designed to appear as if several older structures were combined over the years to form a modernized farmhouse.
With the focus on creating a property that feels as if it’s been connected over time, the interior and exterior blend perfectly—as each is an integral part of the other. That seamlessness is further reinforced by the home’s subtle and extremely textural palette and blending of stone, wood, iron, and glass—both in the interior architecture as well as the décor. These simple elements create a rugged yet refined aesthetic.
What We Love: This gorgeous contemporary farmhouse in the Chicago suburbs is light, airy, and rustic. The wood, the stone, and the pops of black tie the concept so beautifully together. The well-appointed layout shows off an effortless fluidity between indoor and outdoor living while the textural palette captivates. Overall, we love the rugged yet refined look of this dwelling.
Tell Us: What elements in the design of this home do you find most inspiring and what would you change if this were your residence? Please share your thoughts in the Comments, we enjoy reading your feedback!

Recognized for her work in the Baroque repertoire, Canadian soprano Karina Gauvin sings Bach, Mahler, Britten and the music of the 20th and 21st centuries with equal success.
Mrs Gauvin has sung with the world’s leading symphony orchestras, including the Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal, the San Francisco Symphony, the Chicago Symphony, the New York Philharmonic and the Rotterdam Philharmonic, as well as Baroque orchestras such as Les Talens Lyriques, the Venice Baroque Orchestra, Accademia Bizantina, Il Complesso Barocco, the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Les Violons du Roy.
She has worked with conductors such as Michael Tilson Thomas, Yannick Nézet-Séguin, Michel Plasson, Mikko Frank, Teodor Currentzis, Charles Dutoit, Bernard Labadie, Christophe Rousset, Sir Roger Norrington, Kent Nagano, Jérémie Rhorer and the late Alan Curtis among others.
On the operatic stage, she has performed Vitellia in Mozart’s Clemenza di Tito (J. Rohrer/D. Podalydès) at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées, Armida in Handel’s Rinaldo (O. Dantone/R. Carsen) at the Glyndebourne Festival, Merab in Saul (L. Cummings/B. Kosky) at Paris Théâtre du Châtelet, the title role in Gluck’s Armide (I. Bolton/B. Kosky) at the Netherlands Opera and Giunone in Cavalli’s Calisto (I. Bolton + C. Moulds/D. Alden) for both the Bayerische Staatsoper and Madrid Teatro Real.
Karina was Bellezza in Il Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno at the Innsbruck Festival with Alessandro De Marchi and sang both Agrippina (Poppea) and Giulio Cesare (Cleopatra) with Christophe Rousset at the Bucharest George Enescu Festival, Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and Ambronay Festival.
In 2021/2022, she reprised her signature role of Handel’s Alcina alongside Harry Bicket and The English Concert in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and in a new Václav Luks/Jiří Heřman production in Brno, Versailles and Caen.
In 2022/2023, Karina returned to the Boston Early Music Festival for the title role in Demarest’s Circé and reunited with Christophe Rousset for the rarity Fausto by Louise Bertin at Théâtre des Champs-Elysées (issued on CD).
Other past projects include a European tour and a recording of Handel’s Ariodante for EMI Virgin Classics, along with a European tour and a recording of Giulio Cesare, both with Alan Curtis and Il Complesso Barocco. Karina Gauvin was Lia in Debussy’s Enfant prodigue with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France and Mikko Frank released on the Erato label.
Karina Gauvin’s extensive discography – more than 50 titles – has won her numerous awards, including a “Chamber Music America Award” for her “Fête Galante” disc with pianist Marc-André Hamelin, 3 Grammy nominations for her recordings with the Boston Early Music Orchestra and several Opus Prizes. During the pandemic, Ms. Gauvin participated in an extensive project to record the complete songs of Jules Massenet, issued on Atma Classique in 2022.
2024 saw the release of her most intriguing solo album “Marie Hubert – Fille du Roy” which brings Quebec and French folklore to life as Karina recounts the life of her ancestor, Marie Hubert, recruited at the age of 15 years old in Paris in 1670 to marry in “New France”, in Quebec.
Upcoming highlights include the title role in Handel’s Rodelinda at both the Theater an der Wien and Santa Cecilia Hall in Rome and Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni under the baton of Masato Suzuki at Tokyo Bunkamura Orchard Hall. Karina returns to the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées for the 10th anniversary gala concert of Le Concert de la Loge conducted by Julien Chauvin.

By Jim Ellis — Thursday, Sept. 8, 2022
Massachusetts: No Surprises — Voters in the Bay State of Massachusetts went to the polls Tuesday, but for the most part, stared at a ballot filled with unopposed candidates.In the governor’s race, Attorney General Maura Healey was virtually unopposed in the Democratic primary. She captured 85 percent of the vote opposite state Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz (D-Boston) who had previously withdrawn from the statewide race. On the Republican side, former state representative and 2018 GOP US Senate nominee Geoff Diehl claimed the party’s gubernatorial nomination with 56 percent of the vote. Healey now becomes the prohibitive favorite to succeed retiring Republican Gov. Charlie Baker who chose not to seek a third term in office.
All nine Democratic US House incumbents were unopposed or renomination, and each is a heavy favorite to win the succeeding general election. On the turnout front, it appears that by an almost 3:1 ratio, more Democrats participated in the election than did Republicans.
North Carolina: More of the Same — Public Policy Polling released their new North Carolina survey (Aug. 29-30; 601 North Carolina voters) and consistent with all of the polling we’ve seen here since July, the results are within the polling margin of error. In this particular survey, PPP finds former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley (D) edging US Rep. Ted Budd (R-Advance), 42-41 percent. There does appear to be a slight Democratic skew here. With the party polarization breaking virtually evenly, and Budd having a slight advantage within the Independent sector, one would surmise that he would have a small lead.
Since mid to late July, four North Carolina Senate polls have been released. All show the margins within 0 to 4 points, with Beasley leading in three of the four. This is typical for North Carolina polling. Since there is also a general undercount of the Republican vote in Tar Heel State polling, it is reasonable to believe that Budd may have the slight edge. What is clear, however, is that we are headed for yet another tight finish in a North Carolina statewide race.
FL-15: New District Likely to Yield Tight Finish — While the open seat in the Hillsborough-Polk Counties region carries the number 15, it is actually the new 28th district that the state was awarded in reapportionment. The seat rates an R+7 classification from the FiveThirtyEight data organization, while the Dave’s Redistricting App statisticians calculate the partisan lean as 51.2R – 46.6D. Therefore, the GOP candidate should have a slight edge in the general election campaign.
Democratic pollster GQR Research conducted a survey of the new 15th CD (Aug. 24-29; 400 likely FL-15 general election voters; live interview) and finds a polling result consistent with the aforementioned statistical projections. The GQR ballot test gives Republican former Florida Secretary of State Laurel Lee a 47-44 percent edge over former television newscaster and two-time congressional nominee Alan Cohn (D).
WA-3: New Race on the Horizon — When Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Battle Ground/Vancouver) failed to qualify for the general election, it appeared that the 3rd District general election contest would become more competitive. A new Democratic Expedition Strategies survey (Aug. 25-30; 400 likely WA-3 general election voters; live interview) see Democratic finalist Marie Glusenkamp Perez coaxing a 47-45 percent edge over Republican finalist Joe Kent.
Kent carried an early Donald Trump endorsement to propel him over Rep. Beutler, who was one of the 10 House Republicans to vote for the former president’s impeachment. Perez, originally not expected to be a finalist or a strong candidate, now finds herself in a highly competitive position.

Warning: This is an experimental feature. To our knowledge, this is stable, but there are still rough edges in the experience. Contributions are welcome!
The Feast Web UI allows users to explore their feature repository through a Web UI. It includes functionality such as:
Browsing Feast objects (feature views, entities, data sources, feature services, and saved datasets) and their relationships
Searching and filtering for Feast objects by tags
There are several ways to use the Feast Web UI.
The easiest way to get started is to run the feast ui
command within a feature repository:
Output of feast ui --help
This will spin up a Web UI on localhost which automatically refreshes its view of the registry every registry_ttl_sec
This is the recommended way to use Feast UI for teams maintaining their own internal UI for their deployment of Feast.
Start with bootstrapping a React app with create-react-app
Then, in your app folder, install Feast UI and its peer dependencies. Assuming you use yarn
in the React app to use Feast UI.
When you start the React app, it will look for project-list.json
to find a list of your projects. The JSON should looks something like this.
Note - registryPath
only supports a file location or a url.
Then start the React App
The advantage of importing Feast UI as a module is in the ease of customization. The <FeastUI>
component exposes a feastUIConfigs
prop thorough which you can customize the UI. Currently it supports a few parameters.
Fetching the Project List
You can use projectListPromise
to provide a promise that overrides where the Feast UI fetches the project list from.
You can add custom tabs for any of the core Feast objects through the tabsRegistry
Examples of custom tabs can be found in the ui/custom-tabs


title: Maternal risk predictor

text:
Pregnancy and childbirth are complex physiological processes.While most pregnancies progress without serious issues, some result in complications that can endanger both pregnant person and baby. Maternal complications—such as severe hemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, and preterm birth—are among the leading causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity worldwide. Early identification of high-risk pregnancies is crucial for timely interventions that can reduce these risks, but accurately predicting which patients will develop complications remains a challenge.
Clinical risk factors like maternal age, BMI, diabetes, and hypertension play a role in determining maternal health outcomes, but their interactions are intricate, and traditional screening methods often fall short in capturing the full complexity of risk. Moreover, some pregnancies that appear low-risk can still result in unexpected complications, making it difficult for healthcare providers to allocate resources and tailor care appropriately. This challenge is further compounded by disparities in healthcare access, which can leave some patients at higher risk of preventable complications.
Historical perinatal data can be leveraged to develop predictive models that assess maternal complexity and stratify risk, enabling clinical teams to make well-informed decisions about patient care. Our predictive model builds upon the Maternal Complexity Score (MCS), which has already been linked to key maternal and neonatal outcomes, including C-section rates, severe maternal adverse events, and neonatal morbidity. By refining this scoring system, we incorporate a broader range of factors, enhancing its predictive accuracy.
A major challenge in developing predictive models for maternal health is ensuring their clinical relevance. While increased data can improve prediction accuracy, it is crucial that predictions are available early enough in pregnancy to guide care decisions. To address this, we collaborate closely with clinicians to identify data that is both useful and accessible at different stages of pregnancy, striking a balance between predictive power and practical application.

Ellie Judson, a fourth-year student from Calgary, Alberta, is pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce Co-op degree with a major in Marketing Management. She was drawn to Dalhousie for its unique co-op program, which allows students to gain real-world experience while completing their degree in just four years. Having taken a gap year and working in an office for nine months prior to her time at Dal, she was eager and confident to join this program.
Ellie’s first two work terms were in Halifax, where she worked for entrepreneurial companies. The first company being Business Network International (BNI), where she learned about the importance of networking and leveraging connections. “This was possibly the most beneficial first co-op I could have had,” she shares. The skills she gained in her time there led her to her second self developed co-op with Capture It Photography. During her work term, Ellie continued to leverage her networking skills, gaining connections at the various events she took part in while also further developing he creative abilities. “In both these positions, there was an emphasis on my individual skills which bolstered my confidence and pushed me to grow beyond my initial expectations,” she adds.
Through this gained confidence, Ellie was able to secure her third co-op which was also self-developed, at an athletic development NFP organization called WinSport, where she was the Marketing Coordinator. Here, she received the experience of working on a larger team, collaborating with other members of the department on various projects throughout the summer.
Reflecting on her co-ops, Ellie shares that one of the biggest lessons she learned throughout her work terms was the importance of networking and leveraging your connections. “The world operates through referrals and connections so if you can navigate that area with confidence, you can excel in the professional world,” she states. Another valuable lesson she learned, is the importance of keeping an open mind and maintaining the willingness to try new things. Working for an organization centered around athletic development was not something she had imagined for herself; however, it ended up being a deeply gratifying experience and one that she will always value. “The things you could benefit the most from, you might not even be aware of.”
Ellie believes the most valuable aspect of networking is gaining exposure to new industries, ideas, and perspectives. A simple conversation can open new paths and offer insights you never considered before. Her favourite way to network is by engaging in casual, low-pressure chats as she has found they lead to more impactful and meaningful conversations. Ellie emphasizes the importance of honesty and transparency in maintaining connections, as well as staying in touch regularly to strengthen relationships over time. Her advice to those new to networking is to start small and work your way up.
Looking ahead, Ellie is excited to start her professional career after a well-deserved break. Reflecting on her university experience, she values the connections she has made with fellow students, professors, and past employers. “I’ve found that the personal aspects of university can be just as educational as the academic parts if you engage yourself,” she shares. Although she is content with her journey, Ellie wishes she had explored more potential interests through electives. In the future, she plans to leverage the Dal alumni network and truly believes that the connections she has made during her time here, are some of her most valuable gains. “I’ve made some of my best friends through this program and met some incredible leaders, all of whom I plan to keep in touch with.”


title: Make nine finish 6 berwick st shirt and

text:
I have a handful of favorite patterns that I reuse often. Once the pattern pieces are modified and re-drafted to fit me, it’s fun to focus on variations to these garments—shortening/lengthening sleeves, incorporating color blocking, using different fabrics, adding hand stitching, and the like. These are the times when I feel creative… and why I include a “Make it Again” prompt in my Make Nine challenges.
My Berwick St. shirt in linen/cotton with the pattern. |
The Berwick St. Tunic re-make
Back in 2021, I used an eclectic Australian aboriginal print [by M&S Textiles Australia] to make my first Berwick Street Tunic [by The Sewing Workshop]. I wear it often in cooler weather but always thought it would be interesting to forego the gathered lower front panel and make a shorter, shirt variation and extend the button band down the full length of the front. So, here is my Berwick Street shirt, and the sixth finish for Make Nine 2024, fulfilling the Make it Again prompt.
My new linen/cotton Berwick Street shirt. |
This Berwick St. shirt is made from a linen/cotton blend from Art Gallery Fabrics’ Inkperfect collection. When I was at Gina’s Bernina, a quilt shop in Knoxville, TN, I couldn’t decide which print to buy, so I purchased yardage of both. I drafted new pattern pieces for the front (to eliminate the gathered lower front panel) and shortened the bodice back about 3.5”
Redrafted front pattern piece. |
I curved the bottom hem on the front pieces and matched them to the back pattern piece at the side seams.
Berwick Street shirt: color blocked front and curved bottom hem. |
One of my favorite parts of the garment sewing process is choosing buttons from my extensive button collection! (Who doesn’t like mixing and matching and playing with all the buttons in the button box??) Buttons were needed for the sleeve cuffs and the front—and they don’t have to match or be the same!
Button options for the sleeve cuffs. |
Small white shirt buttons were chosen for the concealed button placket. |
This AGF linen blend has a beautiful drape and was easy to hand sew for the finishing steps—bottom hem, collar facing, cuffs.
To accompany my new shirt, I did a re-make of another favorite pattern—the one-seam Valencia Pants [The Sewing Workshop]—with a nubby, dobby yarn-dyed fabric [by Diamond Textiles] that I purchased on a recent visit to Fletcher’s Homemade in Elizabethton, TN.
Valencia Pants with added patch pockets. Pockets are lined with a voile print. |
The pockets are a pattern hack that was added since my first version of these pants. I like to line the pockets with a “surprise” fun fabric like this one—a voile from the Emmy Grace collection [Art Gallery Fabrics]. Using a voile, rayon, or lighter weight cotton fabric for pocket linings reduces the bulk of the pocket and makes it easy to turn. (It’s also a great way to use up smaller pieces of fabric and offcuts from other projects!)
I wore both of these makes at H+H Americas, an industry trade show at the beginning of May. Nothing like a deadline to get something made… and finished!

Our new booklet, “Punishment for Our Sins,” has reached the second review cycle. We hope to be able to present printed copies to our members and subscribers before or at the time of the Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread.
“Will Wars Ever End?” (Special Edition), is a new StandingWatch program in which Evangelist Norbert Link addresses the promise by God to end all war—a time when Jesus Christ will rule in righteousness and peace! Here is a summary:
How will the world look like after Jesus Christ has returned and begun His rule over the earth? Can we imagine what kind of conditions we will see? Will man still be allowed to fight in war?
“Trump Shocks Europe,” is the title of the newest StandingWatch program presented by Evangelist Norbert Link. Here is a summary:
Donald Trump won big in New Hampshire, and Europe is waking up to the distinct possibility that he might become the next US President. The reaction is one of concern and fear. In this program, we point out what a Trump Presidency might mean for Europe, and why Europe will become stronger economically and militarily. We also show some stunning parallels between Trump’s statements and the situation in Germany following World War I, and we conclude with a discussion on the coming biblical “beast.”
“Wir sind nicht mehr unter dem Gesetz!” is this week’s new German sermon. Title in English: “We Are No Longer Under the Law.”
“Fear and Faith,” the sermonette presented last Sabbath by Eric Rank, is now posted. Here is a summary:
Fear is a common response to life’s circumstances. It is an emotion that often motivates people to take action. When fear motivates action that leads away from God, faith must replace that fear. By having faith and fearing God we please Him, making worldly fear powerless against us.
“Freedom by Justification,” the sermon presented last Sabbath by Robb Harris, is now posted. Here is a summary:
Mankind has sought after freedom in countless ways but most have fallen short of reaching that goal. Freedom is within the grasp of mankind but only when God is leading our pursuit.

Orbit acquires Emma Vieceli and Malin Ryden’s enemies-to-lovers queer BREAKS
Wednesday 24th May 2023
Orbit has acquired three manga volumes of BREAKS, a popular webcomic by Emma Vieceli and Malin Rydén. Editorial director Jenni Hill bought World English rights from James Wills and will be publishing in 2024.
Breaks is described as “a high school love story, but a little bit broken” and “perfect for fans of popular LGBTQ+ graphic novels, such as readers of Alice Osman’s Heartstopper who might be looking for something darker and more mature”.
Orbit said: “Drawn in Emma’s signature style, it also holds huge appeal for anime and manga fans. We’re passionate about adding more comic books to the Orbit list. Breaks is a not-to-be-missed webcomic phenomenon and Emma is one of the UK’s leading comic book creators, so working with her was a dream come true”
Vieceli added: “Many years ago I joined a nerdy and wonderful online writing group and found myself collaborating with one of them in particular. Our respective stories and characters seemed to align; my angry boxer and their class-clown runner. Gradually, Cortland’s story and Ian’s story became Cortland and Ian’s story, and now it seems impossible to imagine them without each other. Malin and I finally dropped our web handles, said hi, and decided to start the story again in webcomic format. Ten years later, here we are. It means the world to be working with Jenni and Orbit in bringing this complete story to print. We’re grateful to everyone who’s been with us so far on this journey.”
Rydén said: “Normally, writing is a lonely job, [but] watching Emma shepherd our characters into life on the page has made me feel part of their lives.”

The new rule goes into effect on Dec. 27.
“Vaccine mandates are the one thing that really breaks through,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said in an interview on MSNBC Monday. “Let’s lean into it even more.”
The mayor also called the mandates a “preemptive strike”, once again urging all New Yorkers to get the jab, which is particularly unpopular among minority populations like black New Yorkers.
“We in New York City have decided to use a preemptive strike, to really do something bold to stop the further growth of COVID and the dangers it’s causing to all of us,” de Blasio said. “So as of today, we’re going to announce a first-in-the-nation measure. Our health commissioner will announce a vaccine mandate for private sector employers across the board.”
But before making this declarations, de Blasio should probably check out Belgium, which is over a month into its new mask mandate and with 87.4% of adults fully vaccinated, its cases just hit an all time high.
Cases in Belgium are the highest they’ve ever been, over a month into their new mask mandate and with 87.4% of adults fully vaccinated so I’d love to know why the media hasn’t done a story on how Ron DeSantis managed to create his Florida state guard and invade Belgium so quickly pic.twitter.com/z6fkjV2z9k

Naturally, New York has seen a post-Thanksgiving rise in Covid-19 infections in addition to its first few cases of the omicron variant. The cases so far appear to be unrelated, according to governor Kathy Hochul, but officials have warned people to assume there is already community spread.
“We have to assume community spread at this point,” de Blasio said. “Omicron is here.”
Although if this were true, the city would probably have confirmed more than a small handful of omicron cases.
The city last week strengthened its recommendation for residents to wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status and announced additional vaccine mandates on childcare workers and private school employees.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, the NYT sounded the alarm that hospitals in upstate New York are getting “crushed” thanks to a recent surge in COVID cases. However, hospitals in other parts of the northeast have seen a much more modest uptick in patients. But upstate, hospital capacity has decreased by 10%. It’s one reason Gov. Kathy Hochul has temporarily suspended “elective” surgeries.

So, how to invest money wisely, and where to invest money to get good returns?
You might think of investing as a topic for adults, perhaps just for wealthy ones. But, it actually isn’t confined to just these people. In today’s post, I’ve covered “Investment options for teenagers that involve the best way to start investing with little money”!!
Yes, you heard me right!
If you are stuck wondering, What can a teenager invest in? Do I have enough money to invest? – Be prepared! I’ve covered every aspect in detail. Do post your queries and suggestions for ideas that aren’t included here. That being said, let’s get started.
After all, as the saying goes, it takes money to make money. As a teenager, you might think that you don’t have enough money to invest in anything bigger than a bicycle to get you to and from a part-time job. Some even can’t afford that bike and go for a second-hand model in order to fall within your budget.
So before you proceed with the idea of investing, consider just how much cash you actually have.
The key to earning money through investing is starting early. The earlier you begin investing, the longer your money has to grow.
Let’s consider this scenario where your parents give you $10 a week as pocket money or for doing chores around the house, unloading the dishwasher, walking the family dog, or mowing the lawn, you make a total of $520 a year. Even if you spend half of this money, you will still have $260 to invest in a year’s time.
If you get a weekly allowance, you have a lot more money to start investing in.
You might be surprised to know that this small sum is enough to buy stocks in numerous companies including – Intel, Johnson & Johnson.
If you’ve ever thought that investment is not for you and that you need large amounts of money, you need to change your thought.
Before you start investing
You must decide which investments are the smartest options for you. Investment falls into four categories:
- Low Risk
- Medium Risk
- High Risk
No-risk and low-risk investments include regular money-saving accounts, certificates of deposits (CDs /fixed deposits in other countries), and savings bonds. Mutual funds, stocks with proven track records, forex trading, college savings programs (such as 529s and ESAs), and individual retirement accounts are typically considered medium-risk investments.
High-risk investments include mutual funds that invest in sectors, or specific areas of the economy, such as energy and technology. Other high-risk options are small and mid-cap stocks, penny stocks, and commodities.
You might wonder why anyone would place money in investments that carry a risk of losing that money. The answer is that high-risk investments usually offer the possibility of a higher return on the investment. Low-risk investments may carry minimal risk, but they also offer very little in the way of rewards.
On the other hand, you might wonder why anyone would play it so safe as to earn only 1% on investment. The answer is financial security. Many people would rather make a small amount of money consistently than make a large amount one year just to lose it all the next. For this reason, many people opt for low or medium-risk investments.
Interesting Read: 101 Business Ideas for Kids
10 Great Investment Options for teens with less than $500
In this article, I will discuss the best ways to invest money as a teenager. Depending on your financial goals choose the one that best suits your needs.
1) 529 Plan
A 529 plan will help you grow your college savings through tax-free investing.
Have you started saving money for your college tuition?
If not, it’s never too late to start investing in this important expense.
By opening a 529 or an ESA today, you can begin putting money away for your future. As long as you use the money for educational costs, you won’t have to pay taxes on the interest it earns.
Even if you can only invest $25 a month, you will be glad you did it when the time comes to pay your tuition bill. The sooner you start putting money away for your education, the more compound interest it will earn.
2) Certificates of Deposit (CD)
A certificate of deposit is a great place for savings that you might need down the road. Certificates of deposit, or CDs, typically have the highest interest rates among government-insured savings products. That makes them ideal for people who want to earn passive income without taking much risk. The price for getting higher interest rates is that you agree to lock in your money for a set time period, sometimes up to five years.
The longer a CD’s term — and the larger your deposit — the higher your rates. If you wish to break the bond and release the money within the maturity period, you’re prone to withdrawal penalties. The minimum amount you need to invest may be as little a$100 or $1000.So, you need to move into this if you have saved a certain amount of money.
If you think you will need the cash in a year, opt for a 12-month CD. Won’t need it for longer? Consider a three or five-year CD instead. Choose the longest term that works for your circumstances, providing it offers you a higher interest rate. Just remember, there is a penalty for early withdrawal.
3) Individual Retirement Account (IRA)
The best time to start saving for retirement is while you are young. Doing so can make it possible for you to retire as early as possible.
A regular IRA will allow you to invest pre-tax dollars. Since you probably fall into a low tax bracket at this point, however, a Roth IRA may be the smarter choice.
This retirement savings plan does not give you any tax benefits now, but when you retire, you won’t have to pay any taxes on the interest you earn through this investment.
A traditional IRA requires that you begin withdrawing money by the age of 70.5 and also won’t allow you to keep contributing to your investment once you reach this age. While, a Roth IRA, however, has no such requirement and will allow you to add to your plan for as long as you live.
Have you heard of Robo-advisors, a new kind of investment service that is becoming popular these days?
These services create portfolios based on risk tolerance (the extent to a person is willing to lose money to attain financial gains).
They make recommendations on how much money to invest in the type of account that’s right for you and manage it for you in a way that many traditional investment services can’t.
They are a great option for investing with less than $500, because of their low fees and low minimum investment requirements.
Betterment is an excellent Robo-advisor to consider. There is no minimum deposit required. You can start investing with as little as $10. There’s a low annual fee of 0.25%.
6) Mutual Funds
When you invest in a 529 or an IRA, chances are good that part of your money is going into one or more mutual funds. You can also purchase these investments individually. It is smart to talk to a financial planner before investing in a mutual fund, to help you make the best possible choice.
7) Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
They are similar to mutual funds but often have low minimum investment requirements. You can buy an ETF for the price of a single share, whereas mutual funds tend to require an initial deposit of $1000 or more.
8) Savings Bonds
This is another investment option but you won’t earn much interest from savings bonds.
At the same time, you won’t be risking your hard-earned money either.
Saving bonds are among the safest investments in the market today. They are also a great way to diversify your investment portfolio.
9) Statement Savings Account
Many parents begin teaching their kids about money by opening statements saving accounts for them.
You won’t get much interest from a statement savings account, but it is a great starting point for your other investments.
Use this account to keep your cash until you have enough to move into another investment, such as a CD.
If you might be tempted to spend your cash before you reach a minimum investment amount, your money is safer in the bank. it will also earn a small bit of interest this way.
10) Individual Stocks
Stocks are the riskiest type of investment, but they also offer enormous potential for growth. To keep your risk as low as possible, choose a company that has been around for a long time and has a proven track record.
If you buy a growth stock, try to buy low and sell high. An income stock can earn you money through monthly or quarterly dividends. Even when the stock goes up in value, you may want to hold onto this investment, as your dividends are also likely to rise when the company does well.
Robinhood, a free stock trading mobile app is gaining steam nowadays. It allows you to purchase stocks from your mobile with zero trading commissions. It’s a great option for youngsters, well accustomed to technology and want to avoid the fees involved in purchasing individual stocks.
These are some of the best investment ideas for teens and obviously, the best way to start investing with little money. Hope you find value in these options.
The risk of losing your money (or gaining less than you expected) is a possibility with any type of investment, but the danger is greater with some investments than with others. You should never invest any amount of money that you cannot afford to lose unless there is absolutely no risk involved.
