Sharp Dedicates TV Factory To Making Face Masks Over Coronavirus
By Brittany Roston/March 3, 2020 6:26 pm EST
Japanese company Sharp has revealed that it will dedicate one of its TV factories in Japan to producing face masks amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The company's facility, which is capable of producing high-end electronics, can churn out tens of thousands of these masks every single day. Though they aren't useful for protecting against the virus, these masks are vital for healthcare workers and can be used by sick individuals to help guard against the spreading of germs. READ: Surgeon General: Stop buying masks, they won't prevent coronavirus
There is a face mask shortage in a number of countries due to coronavirus concerns. A number of public health agencies have stated that these ordinary paper face masks cannot protect against the virus and that, in many cases, they may increase the risk of getting the virus because wearers often repeatedly touch the masks to readjust them.
The US Surgeon General recently published a tweet begging the public to stop buying these masks, stating that they are not helpful for sick people and that they are more important to healthcare workers. These masks are used to help protect doctors, nurses and their patients; they're also recommended for use by sick people as a way to help protect against spreading the virus by coughing and sneezing.
As a result of the shortage, multiple companies have increased production of the face masks. Foxconn in China recently switched one of its facilities over to manufacturing this product and now Sharp, which is owned by the Chinese company, has said that it will do the same thing with a TV factory in Japan.
According to the BBC, which cites Japanese media, Sharp will be able to produce approximately 150,000 face masks per day and that it will only take 'weeks' to switch production over from LCD panels to masks. The nation has called for 600 million masks to be made available monthly. The report claims that Sharp could increase its mask production to 500,000 units per day.

Have you ever heard that answer in job interviews?
The one that makes you feel faintly like defenestrating the guilty party who says, "Oh, my biggest flaw? Hahaha, I'm a perfectionist!"
Only we don't mean it as a flaw, we mean that we have no flaws (or none that we'll admit to) and this pseudo-flaw is actually a virtue.
Except it isn't.
That pesky perfectionism we all cling to to a greater or lesser extent is destroying our self-worth.
Listen To Podcast:
Get stuck into the article...
"Shame loves perfectionists. It's so easy to keep us quiet. Perfectionism is armour." ~ Brené Brown
Have you ever heard that answer in job interviews? The one that makes you feel faintly like defenestrating the guilty party, only you can't quite put your finger on why?
It comes after the dreaded question: "What's your biggest flaw?" I mean, nobody wants to say, "Well, actually, I'd rather gnaw off my own toenails than work as part of a team."
So, instead, you often hear something along the lines of, "Hahaha, my biggest flaw is that I'm a perfectionist!"
People say it in a self-deprecating, gently mocking way, so you know they really have no flaws so the one they trot out is one that's often counted as a virtue.
Well, it's not a virtue.
It's your worst trait. And it's also my worst trait.
Perfectionism keeps us all stuck, and it may well drive us into an early grave.
The 20-Ton Shield
Dr Brené Brown calls perfectionism "the 20-ton shield". She says "we carry it around thinking it's going to protect us from being hurt. But it protects us from being seen… It's a way of thinking that says, 'If I look perfect, live perfect, work perfect — I can avoid or minimise criticism, blame, and ridicule.'"
Perfectionism doesn't protect us from pain. It keeps us invisible — and that's disastrous for humans in general, but especially when you're running a business.
But Aren't High Standards Good?
I hold myself — and others — to high standards, and there's nothing wrong with that. I want to be the best I can possibly be at what I do, all the time.
That doesn't mean I need to be the best in the world (if you can't measure it objectively — like the fastest 100m sprinter — the "best" is subjective). But it does mean I always want to do my best.
Sometimes I fall short, and I need to work on being at peace with that.
Some people call this perfectionism, but it's not. It's just high standards. You have high standards, too, and that's great. The world would be a better place if everyone raised their bar a little.
Actual perfectionism, though, is paralysing. It's not about having high standards and trying to do better. It's about setting ourselves up to fail. It's self-sabotage, disguised as a virtue.
We beat ourselves up if we don't reach our impossibly high goals, and we expect more of ourselves than we ever do of anyone else.
What Is Perfectionism, Really?
If you've fallen into the trap of believing perfectionism is somehow a positive trait, as I have in the past, let's fix that.
Perfectionism is not striving for excellence and it's certainly not about healthy achievement and growth. It's a defensive mechanism that allows you to hide.
Perfectionism is not self-improvement, it's about trying to earn approval. It's not about getting better, it's about being seen to be better — and the difference is crucial.
Perfectionism is a debilitating belief that we are what we accomplish, and that our worth is tied to how well we do a thing. It leads us to believe that we are our mistakes, not that we're humans who make mistakes.
Perfectionism strangles achievement. It's correlated with depression, addiction, anxiety, paralysis, and missed opportunities. It keeps us on the fringes of life, where everything is safe and familiar, instead of in the trenches where the action happens.
Perfectionism is a function of shame. It tricks us into thinking we won't feel shame if only we're perfect; but the truth is, perfectionism comes out because we feel shame about falling short.
And not only that, it has negative health consequences, too.
Fretting Yourself Into An Early Grave
Professor Andrew Hill at York St. John University conducted a meta-analysis (combining data from multiple studies to identify common findings or effects) of 43 previous studies on perfectionism.
He found a link between perfectionism and burnout, which isn't terribly surprising… but he found something else, too.
He discovered that setting yourself up for continual failure by having standards so high no actual human could reach them can lead to constant worry about making mistakes, letting people down, or not being good enough.
Hill found this "can contribute to serious health problems, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, fatigue and even early mortality."
In other words, you can worry yourself into an early grave. Which, I think you'll agree, isn't ideal.
And if that doesn't get your attention, try this: on a more immediate timeline, perfectionism and the problems it causes can destroy your love and enthusiasm for what you do. I've been there, and it's awful.
There's a difference between doing your best and knowing you're doing your best and being okay with not quite meeting your goals every single time — and setting yourself such lofty goals you always fail and always feel like crap because of it.
Live In Glorious Technicolour
I don't want you to feel like crap — and I don't want you to stay stuck. I want you to live a full life in glorious technicolour, giving no fucks about what strangers may think of you. Strangers don't matter.
Friends, family, clients — they matter.
So here's what I'd like you to do, starting now:
Be willing to do something you can't do yet. Take a risk. Learn that language. Learn to play an instrument. Take a pole dancing class. Even if you can't do it perfectly right away. I'm learning to play the guitar at the moment, and it's delightful and frustrating in equal measure. The frustration is part of the delight, though — because when I finally do crack the exercise I'm working on, it feels soooooooo good. Perfectionism stops us from trying new things in case we look stupid. (So what if we do?)
Remember the end product isn't the most important part of this. Being able to play the guitar will be brilliant, but it's not the most vital piece. The journey — learning — is where the real pleasure lies. Perfectionism stops us from being present in the moment and savouring the process.
Finish things, then ship them. Perfectionism stops us finishing, because nothing is ever good enough. Your pencils can always be sharper… but they're sharp enough now.
Start things. Perfectionism causes us to procrastinate, to wait until we're "ready" or we're "sure". Come closer, because I have a secret to tell you: we're never ready. We're never sure. Start now and see where it takes you.
Work faster and ship your product now. Perfectionism makes us take far too long, and that means we miss our moment. We miss opportunities. We try to go far beyond excellent enough and strive for perfect… but perfect doesn't exist. Do it. Do it well, then ship it. Then improve it as you go along.
Be happy about other people's successes. Perfectionism stops us from taking joy in others' achievements and makes us focus on our own perceived shortcomings. It makes us small and envious. Be generous and delighted.
Play. Play games, have fun, be silly. Perfectionism stops us from doing those things because people might think we're idiots or not as good as we should be. Let me ask you this: why do you care? Watch children play, and try to remember how to do it. Kids don't care what others think (until adults teach them to care); nor should you. Not when it comes to having fun.
Perfectionism destroys your sense of self-worth and makes you believe you're not doing anything worthwhile. It makes you believe you're not really making a difference in the world. Humans need to feel like we're making a difference; making money alone isn't enough for us.
You are making a difference, I promise you that. Even if you don't realise it.
So stop waiting. Start doing that thing you've been putting off, and start it now. There is no better time.
If the thing you've been putting off is writing your book, ask yourself why. Is it because you're afraid you're not a good enough writer? (We can fix that. You can get better.)
Is it because you don't think you have anything to say that people will want to hear? (You do. We can pull stories out of you that will hold people spellbound.)
Or is it because you're afraid people will hate your book, and ridicule you?
Some people might hate your book, it's true. But most won't, and you almost certainly won't be ridiculed. I want you to focus on the people who love you and your book. The ones you can help. They're the only ones who matter.
Stop waiting. Start writing.

Q: fetching element from 2nd element of array protractor I have 4 container boxes on a page which are identical. I have taken all of them in an array. Now each container box contains some elements which are identical as well. I want to fetch 2nd element from 1st container.
Below is what i used to fetch my container and it is working fine:
var pageContent = element(by.css('[class="main-content"]'));
expect(pageContent.all(by.css('.modularBoxContent')).count()).tobe(4);

Now if i want to fetch count of all elements with class as labelText insider modular box container, i am able to do that by using below:
 expect(pageContent.all(by.css('.modularBoxContent')).all(by.css('[class="labelText"]')).count()).tobe(10);

But this is giving me labelText present in all 4 containers. I want to get count of labelText only in first container or get text of first labelText in first container. I tried below code but it is not working and getting error message

TypeError: this.pageContent.get is not a function

expect(pageContent.get(0).all(by.css('.modularBoxContent')).all(by.css('[class="labelText"]')).count()).tobe(3);

I also tried below but that is not working as well.
Getting same error as above for this as well.
 expect(pageContent.all(by.css('.modularBoxContent')).get(1).all(by.css('[class="labelText"]')).get(0).getText()).tobe(3);

Can someone please suggest correct usage?

A: I think this should work for you, let's try this.  Since all containers have the same class, create an array with .all() and use .get() to retrieve the desired index.
var pageContent = element(by.css('.main-content'));
var firstContainer = pageContent.all(by.css('.modularBoxContent')).first(); // or could have used .get(0);

Once your first container is successfully identified, now you just chain locator calls to find all the children under it.  Since you said you wanted the second element under the first container, we'll use .get(1) (1 is the index, so it's the second item in the array).
var secondChild = firstContainer.all(by.css('[class="labelText"]')).get(1);

And, just an FYI, a lot of this could probably be refactored to be shorter if you wanted.  For example, you can chain your CSS calls, no need to separate them:
The above code should be the same as this:
var firstContainer = element.all(by.css('.main-content .modularBoxContent')).first();
var secondChild = firstContainer.all(by.css('.labelText')).get(1);

Is the DA-led City "extorting impoundment fees" from UBER / drivers in Cape Town while they delay license approvals?
If you don't have an operating license, the City can impound your vehicle. To get your operators license you apply at the City's My-Citi office and pay your R300 application fee. Thats fair.
I'm informed that about 2 weeks ago over 450 Uber cars were impounded in one weekend by the City.
• R12,500 for 2nd offense.
• R15,000 for 3rd offense.
• There are over 2000 Uber drivers in Cape Town requiring operating licenses.
• One driver I interviewed recently applied in Feb 2015 (16 months ago).
• He's application has still not been granted as at 28 June 2016.
• Yet in these 16 months his car has been impounded twice.
• In August 2015, 6 months after his application, only125 operating licenses were issued (but not his).
• From Aug 2015 till now, the number of approved licenses has grown to 270 (still not including his).
• Delay the approval process and your income is unlimited (so to speak).
For this particular uber driver, his license will ultimately cost him R9,500 + R12,500 + R 300.
In my view: after accepting the application, it's the City's administrative duty (under Promotion of Administrative Justice Act) to process it without delay and without prejudice to the applicant).
(3) therefore, the City should self impose a moratorium on further impoundment actions for applications in process.

Q: Kafka architecture many partitions or many topics? I am looking to setup Kafka as an intermediary between data coming from IoT machines and a service that will process that data.
I am having some issues identifying the proper way to design my topics based on my usecase and would love some advice.
I am looking to read sensor data from many machines, and each machine could have many sensors. eg( temperature, pressure, parts etc..)
The order of these messages that my consumers will read is imporant and needs to be sequential.
I have come up with three possible designs but I am not sure which is best, if any?
a) Each machine will write to a specific topic with 1 partition to guarantee sequence. so machine 100 will write to topics called : machine100TempSensor1, machine100TempSensor2, machine100PressureSensor1 etc..
b) all machines will write to a single topic but the partitions will be based on machine/sensor so using the same example as above,
machine 100 will write to a topic called 'temperature' but will be keyd on the machine and sensor.
eg.
(Topic: temperature, partition : machine100TempSensor1)
(Topic: temperature, partition : machine100TempSensor2)
(Topic: temperature, partition : machine200TempSensor1)
c) produce all temperature related messages to a temperature topic and filter the messages as I process the data.
My concerns with all solutions,
a)
- Kafka guarantees sequence on the partition level only, so would creating a topic with a single partition be a good idea or does that go against what a topic should be?
- If I wanted to read 'Temperature' from all machines, I would have to know the names and request data from specific topics instead of a general 'Temperature' topic.
- Kafka states that only one consumer group can read from a single partition, so I would have to create many consumer groups.
b)
- A single 'temperature' topic could possibly have 30+ partitions if not 100s/1000s if I consider scaling. (but I would have the benefit of reading all partitions at once)
- Since only a single consumer group is able to read from a single partition, I will have a consumer group for every consumer.
c)
- I feel there could be a big performance cost in filtering thousands of useless messages.
- I will run into the same issue when it comes time to pushing the processed data to kafka.
Something to consider is that I would like to have the ability to process certain machines/sensors.
Hopefully I have been able to explain everything clearly.

A: Your overall understanding of Kafka is not 100% correct.
1) Kafka basically scales over partitions -- thus, for the brokers, there is no difference (from a performance perspective) if you use 1 topic with 1000 partitions of 1000 topics with 1 partition each. (If you plan to use Kafka Streams (aka Streams API), using a singe topic with 1000 partitions would be better, because Kafka Streams does not scale very good across topics.)
2) Creating single partition topics to guarantee ordering if basically absolutely fine. For subscribing to multiple topics at once, you could use pattern subscription if you name the topics accordingly.
3) A single broker can host multiple thousand partitions. Thus, even with replication taken into account, you don't need a huge cluster.
4) This claim sounds incorrect (or maybe I miss understand it):

Kafka states that only one consumer group can read from a single partition, so I would have to create many consumer groups.

Maybe you mean, only one consumer within a single consumer group. That it would be correct. If you have a consumer group, you can assign (either manual or using built-in consumer group management) each partition to at most one consumer within the group. You only need multiple consumer groups if multiple applications want to read the same partition.
5) Your concern about (c) seems legit.

Moving Home: From Yo
Moving Home: From York to New Earswick
Buckley, C (2008) Moving home: From York to New Earswick. Studies in Decorative Arts, vol. XVI, no. 1, Fall-Winter, 2008-9, pp. 92–106
Drawing on research undertaken on the Rowntree family archives, Buckley's article explores how and why Seebohm Rowntree undertook his survey of York, what the influence was of his findings (published as Poverty in 1900), and why and how his thinking and the wider ideas emanating form the Garden City Movement and the Arts and Crafts Movement shaped the development of Rowntree's model village New Earswick.
The article developed from research undertaken for the book Designing Modern Britain (2007), but drew on a wealth of archival research that could not be utilised for a book that was, in effect, an overview. It was also informed by Buckley's growing interest in the history of social policy, particularly regarding housing. The Joseph Rowntree Foundation archives, further private papers relating to the Rowntree family, and the various published papers, pamphlets and books of Seebohm Rowntree underpinned the research, which located the activities of the social reformer and activist Seebohm Rowntree within the context of the company philanthropy of his father Joseph, the increasingly sophisticated use of social surveys and statistical analysis, and housing reform and design. The research contributes to a more complex understanding of developments in public housing, social policy and the role that design played in this.

The "Planes of Fame" annual airshow at Chino can surely be rated as one of America's premiere warbird airshows. This is owned to the great collection of flyable warbirds of the "Planes of Fame" itself, and to the many interesting visitors that are attracted by this event. 2013 for example saw the outstanding happening of 5 Lockheed P-38 Lightning flying together in the air.
"Lightning strikes Chino" was the main theme of the "Planes of Fame" (PoF) airshow in 2013, and Steve Hinton raised the bar very high with the aim to bring all six airworthy P-38 Lightnings to Chino. The "fork-tailed devil" is getting a rare breed in the airshow world, however in the US they seem to encounter a better "living environment" than elsewhere. So seeing at least some of them meant travelling to Chino, California – and believe me, there are things for worse than California at the beginning of May… Though the days were quite chilly with a cold wind from the Pacific ocean and Sunday was cloudy with some slight rain, the showday on Saturday was splendid with lots of action in the air!
The flying displays of this outstanding show started with a mixed formation of delights of the "Planes of Fame" collection: bringing the F-86, P-51, P-40 and P-26 in close formation for the fly-by required all of the pilots skills, and it was such a great sight! Especially seeing the sole airworthy Boeing P-26A Peashooter performing was well worth the wait until the flying finally started.
In the end there were 6 P-38 Lightnings at Chino, one however was a static example and "23 Skidoo", "Honey Bunny", "Thoughts of Midnite", "Tangerine" and "Glacier Girl" were those to perform in front of an amazed crowd.
Of course the P-38J "23 Skidoo" was a safe bet as it is with the "Planes of Fame" collection and also the P-38L "Honey Bunny" of the Vintage Fighters of Jack Croul is based at Chino. "Thoughts of Midnite" is another L-Version and was brought by the "Comanche Fighters" of Tom and Dan Freidkin from Texas to California. P-38L "Tangerine" of the Tillamook Air Museum from Oregon made it literally in the last minute after finishing an extensive restoration job and the P-38F "Glacier Girl" might be most famous of them all due to its history of recovering it from the ice after 50 years.
Apart from that the show was setup of different showpieces focusing on some historical event with the intervention of US aircraft.
The US naval aviation for example was represented by Sea Furys, a Dauntless, Corsairs, Bearcat, a Hellcat and two TBM Avengers. For the pre-war era the PoF-owned and very rare J2F "Flying Duck" as well as the "Flying Barrel" F3F flew during the week-end.
A Mitsubishi Zero did represent the "bad guys" in the Pacific scenario, and it has to be hoped that for the next event the "Judy" will be flying as well. In 2013 it was only taxiing by, but for sure it will be a great addition to the Japanese fleet of the PoF!
Chino is also one of the few places to see one of the FlugWerk-rebuild FW190 in the air. This one of course flew in the "European theatre" together with other USAAF warbirds. Unfortunately the "Butcher Bird" was a bit of range, while numerous P-51 Mustangs performed furious fly-bys to please the crowd.
And what else could be seen at the Planes of Fame airshow? The unique Northrop N9M "Flying Wing" was its own program item and is a sight to remember, a Catalina flying boat in splendid colours made its way to the show and even a very rare Privateer was in the air, even if only on departure on Sunday afternoon.
Thus if you have been to many shows at Duxford, La Ferté-Alais or elsewhere, you should surely give the "Planes of Fame" event a try as well!

Q: Optimization with Constraints using Alternating Direction of Method of Multipliers I have an optimization problem of the form:
\begin{align*}
\text{minimize} &\quad f(x) + g(x) \\
\text{such that} & \quad Ax = b
\end{align*}
Where $f,g$ are both convex (but not differentiable), and I know the proximal operators for $f,g$ separately.
From reading Parikh and Boyd, this problem looks almost exactly like the kind solved by the Alternating Direction of Method of Multipliers (ADMM, aka Douglas-Rachford splitting).  Indeed, my problem almost exactly matches section 4.4 in the this text, except in the text, it is not constrained.   It is just:
\begin{align*}
\text{minimize} &\quad f(x) + g(x) \\
\end{align*}
In fact, in equation 4.9, they show that ADMM is equivalent to the idea of an augmented Lagrangian, which they derive by adding a constraint:
\begin{align*}
\text{minimize} &\quad f(x) + g(z) \\
\text{such that} & \quad x = z
\end{align*}
But I would like to add my own constraint, and I do not know how to do that.
I believe this is possible, because there is a popular work called Robust PCA, where they modify the augmented Lagrangian to add their own constraint.  But their case seems quite different from mine, as they are optimizing over two variables (which nicely match up with the $x$ and $z$ in the augmented Lagrangian formulation), but I am not.
How can I use ADMM to solve my problem?  If it is not possible, is there a more suitable method?

A: If you are using ADMM, then you should read this paper by Boyd et al.
The first form that the paper deals with is:
$$\begin{align*}
\text{minimize} &\quad f(x) + g(z) \\
\text{subject to} & \quad Ax + Bz = c.
\end{align*}$$
Your problem can easily be written under this form:
$$\begin{align*}
\text{minimize} &\quad f(x) + g(z) \\
\text{subject to} & \quad \begin{bmatrix}A \\ I\end{bmatrix}x + \begin{bmatrix}0 \\ -I\end{bmatrix}z = \begin{bmatrix}b \\ 0\end{bmatrix}.
\end{align*}$$

A: One approach using the Douglas-Rachford method (which can be viewed as being a special case of ADMM) is to reformulate your problem as minimizing $$
\underbrace{f(x) + g(y)}_{F(x,y)} + I_C(x,y),$$ where $C=\{(x,y)\mid Ax=b, x=y\}$.
You can now minimize $F(x,y) + I_C(x,y)$ using the Douglas-Rachford method. Because $F$ is a separable sum of $f$ and $g$, evaluating the prox-operator of $F$ reduces to separately evaluating the prox-operators of $f$ and $g$.  Evaluating the prox-operator of $I_C$ requires projecting onto $C$, which is just a linear algebra problem.

Crowdsourced 'Adjudicators' Are Picking Up Where the Cyber Ninjas Left Off
Uber Kicks Its Self-Driving Car Unit Out the Side Door

Uber is bailing on its self-driving car unit, the Uber Advanced Technologies Group, and will sell it off to driverless trucking-focused startup Aurora in a deal that could create a combined firm valued at $US10 ($13) billion, the companies announced on Monday.
The success or failure of Uber ATG has long been viewed as a key indicator as to whether the company can stop haemorrhaging cash and achieve profitability. Robot drivers would allow the company to tell a considerable number of its human ones to go take a hike, and potentially relieve the company from the regulatory scrutiny it's faced in states like California over its treatment of the contractors that drive its fleet. (Whether or the robot moonshot would actually work is unclear.)
Prior to this week's sale, Uber ATG made headlines thanks to a years-long lawsuit with competitor Waymo over an engineer convicted of trade theft, and one of its self-driving vehicles has the dubious distinction of being the first to kill a human being, pedestrian Elaine Herzberg, in 2018.
Uber has tested self-driving cars in several cities, but despite hundreds of millions of dollars in investments, it's still nowhere close to achieving its dreams of a perfect robot workforce that never complains or asks for raises. So it appears to be cutting its losses and redirecting its energy elsewhere: According to the New York Times, Uber will actually be paying Aurora to take its self-driving unit off its hands, as the "fire-sale" deal will have Uber invest some $US400 ($537) million in the combined company. Uber will also take a 26 per cent stake and CEO Dara Khosrowshahi will join its board of directors. As recently as last year, a Denso and SoftBank Vision Fund deal pegged the ATG's value at $US7.25 ($10) billion.
Despite the ATG acquisition, Aurora CEO and co-founder Chris Urmson told the Times that the company's near-term focus will remain on trucking. Khosrowshahi told the paper that he looked forward to bringing Aurora technology to market "in the years ahead" but had no further comment.
Uber, which has lost billions a year and whose core taxi business has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic, is also reportedly selling off its air taxi business, Uber Elevate, to Joby Aviation. This could be charitably described as predictable. As TechCrunch noted, Uber has also recently offloaded its scooter and bike unit, Jump, and sold off a stake in its Uber Freight trucking business.
The Aurora deal will still leave Uber with its finger in the self-driving pie and give it a chance to licence any resulting technology.
"Uber can still have a hand in the game, without putting out the enormous amount of money they were spending with A.T.G., but still have a path to market when this technology is actually deployable in several years," Phantom Auto co-founder and CEO Elliot Katz told the Times.
"One of the most fun things we'll be doing over the next 60 days is bringing the two teams together," Urmson told TechCrunch. "And then kind of dispassionately looking at what is the technology that accelerates our first product to market and then amplifying that — whether it's from the existing Aurora team or to the new Aurora team — and pushing that forward, whether it's ideas or code or bits of hardware together to accelerate our time to market."
"… Some of the work they've been doing in designing their next-generation hardware for the vehicles is exciting and interesting," Urmson added. "On the software side, they have really cool stuff in prediction, and how they've combined prediction and the perception system together."

Suspected serial package thief caught on video in North Austin
Neighbors in the Milwood neighborhood have Ring camera video of what appears to be the same woman stealing deliveries from their porches.
Author: Daranesha Herron (KVUE)

Updated: 8:25 PM CDT April 29, 2021
AUSTIN, Texas — People in the Milwood neighborhood in northwest Austin have been dealing with what could be a serial package thief.
Dealing with package thieves isn't unheard of, but one wearing pumps – now that's different.
"A woman had walked out in a short skirt, heels, walked to my front door, picked up the package, tucked it under her jacket and got back in her car. I've never seen anything like that before," said theft victim Jaison Smith.
Smith's Ring camera caught the suspected thief taking his Amazon package on Tuesday in broad daylight. He said during their five years in the North Austin neighborhood, this was a first for the Smith family, but after posting the video on Nextdoor, it seemed it wasn't the first – or last – for the suspect.
"We have kind of pinpointed that this perpetrator is still going around," said Smith. "In fact, there's another post yesterday with the Nextdoor three streets down from us – same car was identified."
In a separate case, a neighbor up the road, sent KVUE Ring video from Monday. In the video, it appears to be the same silver Volkswagen, boldly pulling into the victim's driveway. A woman in what appears to be the same outfit gets out, grabs the FedEx box and struts away.
Underneath the posts made by Smith, other neighbors are claiming they too were victims of porch theft this week from a woman with the same description.
"We're at a loss on how to take care of this," said Smith. "Even if we find these perpetrators again, if they're willing to do this in the middle of the day, we don't want to approach them. They could be dangerous."
Austin police said they are investigating multiple thefts in the area but couldn't say exactly how many. The department did say the woman in the videos appear to be the same woman in other cases.
Smith said it was his new camera she stuffed under her jacket, but he is making sure he won't get hit again.
"So if the porch pirate comes back, my dog has actually made them a little gift here," said Smith as he held a small brown box.
If you have any information on these thefts, call 311.

Even hungry migrants won't eat the food in Italy
A few months ago, Nigerian migrants housed at a government hostel in Milan suddenly refused to eat any more of the free food on offer. Italian food is monotonous and indigestable, they explained. Then they went berserk.
This was not a one-off case. Far from it. There have been hunger strikes, demos, sit-ins and the odd riot in protest at the stuff. Recently, a group of mainly Pakistani migrants based in a Reggio Emilia hostel were given their own taxpayer-funded chef 'specializzato in piatti pachistani e africani'. They had complained that Italian food was making them ill.
Many migrants en route from Libya to who-knows-where are marooned in Italy for now, and they are getting fed up. They know that other EU countries have better food. It is the pasta, apparently, that really gets their goat. Such news outrages the touchy Italians: to insult free food is bad enough; to insult free Italian food is blasphemy.
I think it is very funny. It is partly the irony of destitute Africans turning up their noses at food revered in civilised circles around the world. But after two decades of living in Italy, I also have a few issues with the way they do things. So anything that challenges the validity of the core myths of their culture makes me laugh.
The Italians howl 'force them to eat pork' and 'ship them back to eat lizards and scorpions', but those Nigerians, whether Muslim or Christian, told the naked truth. 'Gimme five!' I felt like shouting.
Maybe Italian restaurants in Notting Hill or Little Italy are fantastic. I have no idea. But so boring are Italian restaurants in Italy that I gave up going to them years ago. With a few exceptions, wherever you go the menu is identical and the standard mediocre. What about Tuscany, which is only a stone's throw away across the Apennines as the crow flies? Surely the food is fantastic in Chiantishire? No, actually, not as far as I can tell.
Food was never a way of life for me in the way that booze was, but I used to love dining out. That was until I came to Italy. Here, the restaurants fill me with so much ennui that once inside one I feel as if I am in an existentialist novel. The trouble starts with the lighting, which is invariably too harsh. I am at a loss to explain this Nazi-style illumination. All that occurs to me is that Italy is so riddled with dishonesty and back-stabbing that the Italians need to keep a close eye on each other at all times.
Moving on to the menu, there is little point looking at it except to avoid offending the staff because it is always the same: identical antipasti (starters), primi (pasta), secondi (meat/fish) and dolci (desserts). And if the place is also a pizzeria, the same pizze.
And while Italy is almost completely surrounded by sea, you might as well be in the Sahara. It is near impossible to find fresh fish caught by real fisherman. Aside from sea bass or bream from the fish farms or mussels grown on the legs of the offshore gas rigs, everything else is frozen and imported, including cockles, the key ingredient of the staple pasta fish dish: spaghetti alle vongole.
Yes, the primi, usually pasta-based, are fine the first 50 times. But the secondi are always dull: it is either a piece of grilled meat (a fillet steak or a couple of mutton chops), or farmed fish, or else a fry-up of frozen imported calamari, prawns and whitebait. And that's your lot.
Unlike the French (at least in the good old days), the Italians rarely do interesting main-course sauces. This is probably just as well, because when they do appear they are insipid. They are either red (tomato) or white (cream) and are dispensed torrentially. No Italian restaurant would dare surprise you with the juxta-position, say, of something sweet with something savoury. Too daring, too foreign.
They cannot do potatoes either. Their chips — always frozen — are rubbery, their roast potatoes leathery and their equivalent of mash watery. They regard vegetable contorni (side-dishes) as an irritant which they cook with no enthusiasm, either boiling them to the quick or baking them dry. This helps explain why Emilia-Romagna has one of the highest bowel cancer rates in the world. They have no idea how to make a good salad.
Decent bread exists, but in restaurants it's usually dry as a bone and light as a feather, or else it's piadina, which is like pitta. Their desserts are far too sweet and showy. But yes, their ice creams are fantastic, as is the coffee. The wine, as I know only too well, is highly drinkable.
You'd think they could at least get pizza right, but no. Here the fault does not lie with the chefs, but with the owners. Take a simple pizza such as the romana: it will be made with the cheapest possible mozzarella, and then sprinkled with so few anchovies and capers that you need a magnifying glass to find them. When Italy has so many fabulous ingredients and so many world-famous food products, you wonder: how on earth can the restaurants be so unimaginative, so unadventurous, so stultifyingly provincial? The reason why Italians won't change the menu is that they are blinded by the belief that Italian food was, and remains, the best in the world. To change it, or worse, fuse it with the food of other countries, would be sacrilege.
This explains why there has been no food revolution in Italy, unlike in Britain. And why there are so few foreign restaurants here apart from the odd Chinese and McDonald's. I could murder a curry, but have no idea where the nearest Indian might be. Traditional English food of the kind described by George Orwell in his 1945 essay 'In Defence of English Cooking' is out of the question.
As for the mediocrity, I think that from about 1985 a cynical, penny-pinching arrogance — the negative side of the Italian character — came to dominate at the expense of the positive side: a perfectionist, creative generosity. The big crash in 2008 which, thanks to the euro, has consigned Italy to a state of more or less permanent recession has made things worse.
Yet if I tell the Italians that their food is monotonous and mediocre and that British cooking beats theirs, they urge me 'inglese di merda', to 'just bugger off back to England'. At least I could get a decent meal if I did.

Considered GRAS (generally regarded as safe) by the FDA, it's almost pure white powder and consists of 89-94% silicon dioxide, plus other trace minerals.
The two original sources for diatomaceous earth are freshwater and saltwater. Our freshwater deposit began eons ago as pure snow. The snow's runoff provided the water source for the diatoms to thrive. Diatoms in freshwater form a harder, more uniform shaped shell than those in saltwater.
The silica in Lumino DE is amorphous, meaning it retains its naturally occurring state.
If mixed with water use one teaspoon with two cups of liquid.
May begin with very small doses - much smaller than the manufactures recommendation. Try starting with the the mini-measuring spoon 'the Drop' in a 4oz glass of water. Do this once daily or every other day. Increase as needed. Make sure to drink additional water throughout the day to flush system and keep hydrated.
Why haven't I heard about diatomaceous earth before this?
DE is a naturally occurring product that can't be patented. That means it is of little interest to the drug companies. Many individuals buying DE are doing so because of referrals from family or friends. DE doesn't generate enough profits to pay for the advertising and marketing that supports OTC and prescription drugs.
Many people claim diatomaceous earth is dangerous if inhaled. Is this true?
NO. There is confusion because Food Grade DE and Commercial Filtering DE have the same name. Filter grade DE is heated to over 1,000 degrees and then fluxed with additional chemicals to crystallize it. These additional step makes it a valuable filtering agent, but also cause it to be dangerous to people and pets. The World Heath Organization states that DE needs to be less than 2% crystalline silica to be generally considered safe. Filter grade DE is 60% crystalline silica. Filter grade DE is dangerous and should be handled with extreme caution. All Lumino DE is less than 1/2 of 1% crystalline silica and all other sediments that are considered unsafe by the FDA are below harmful limits. This is four times more than the recommended maximum for safety. Lumino DE is a fine powder, and should be used with caution, as any powder should be, by those with respiratory complications, such as asthma.
I understand how DE kills fleas and mites on pets, but how does it kill internal parasites?
There are two schools of thought on how this works. The first is that it kills internally the same as externally, that is by absorbing lipids from the waxy outer layer of the insect's exoskeleton, causing them to dehydrate. The second, and the one we tend to favor, is that the alkaline ph level, combined with the high concentration of minerals, drives the parasites out of the body looking for more favorable surroundings.

Atomic-scale memory can store 500 times more than today's best hard drive
Each bit is represented by a single atom
Lucas Mearian (Computerworld (US)) 19 July, 2016 05:35
Dutch researchers have discovered a method of storing atom-sized bits on copper with a density of 500 Terabits per square inch (Tbpsi) -- 500 times more dense than the best commercial hard disk currently available.
"In theory, this storage density would allow all books ever created by humans to be written on a single post stamp," lead scientist Sander Otte said in a statement.
The research, published today in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, details how the scientists were able to construct a 1-kilobyte (8,000-bit) memory unit where each bit was represented by the position of one single chlorine atom on a copper surface. Researchers have been experimenting with atomic- and molecular-sized storage since the 1990s. Most recently, Microsoft and the University of Washington (UW) said they broke a world record by storing 200MB of data on synthetic DNA strands.
The Dutch scientists from the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at Delft University said they were able to create their data storage by pressing bits onto copper with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), in which a sharp needle probes the atoms of a surface, one by one. The probe not only sees the atoms on the copper, but it can also "push" the atoms around to rewrite the bits of data.
"You could compare it to a sliding puzzle," Otte said.
"Every bit consists of two positions on a surface of copper atoms, and one chlorine atom that we can slide back and forth between these two positions," Otte continued. "If the chlorine atom is in the top position, there is a hole beneath it -- we call this a 1. If the hole is in the top position and the chlorine atom is therefore on the bottom, then the bit is a 0."
The researchers organized their memory in blocks of 8 bytes (64 bits) and gave each block a marker made of the same type of holes as the "raster," or scanned pattern of chlorine atoms, contained within it. That way, the data can be easily located and read.
Delft University
An explanation of the bit logic and the atomic markers used to create the dense new memory.
The researchers said their discovery was inspired by the pixelated square barcodes (QR codes) often used to scan tickets for airplanes and concerts. "These markers work like miniature QR codes that carry information about the precise location of the block on the copper layer," they said.
The code will also indicate whether a block is damaged, for instance, due to some local contaminant or an error in the surface. That allows the storage medium to be scaled up easily to "very big sizes," even if the copper surface is not entirely perfect.
There is a catch, however: The memory only works in temperatures achieved through the use of liquid nitrogen or -321 degrees Celsius. Otte, however, said now that the team has discovered a method using chlorine and copper it will look for methods using other materials that might be able to store bits at room temperature.
"The new system...still requires considerable work before it's ready for prime time, but it's an important proof-of-principle that lays the groundwork for the development of useable atomic-scale data storage devices," Otte wrote in a post on Linked-In.

Big Easy Music Melting Pot Hits D.C.
7 years ago Dean Rogers
When an artist gives you a show, you politely clap your hands and smile but when an artist gives you an experience, you leap out of your seat, almost hypnotically, think you can sing, and let the music take control. "This is a lot like our own music and it just stirs something in me," said Washington, D.C. native, Alia Champman. Chapman and nearly 500 people in the Howard Theatre got a taste of New Orleans music and Chicago rhythmic melodies, Feb. 7, at the kick-off of the NOLA Funk Tour. "We came to party," says Walter "Whoadie" Ramsey, trumpeter and lead singer of the Stooges Brass Band. The band, along with New Orleans' Kermit Ruffins and the BBQ Swingers, songstress Nayo Jones and Chicago's Main Squeeze made four short hours of good music, entertainment, and feel like four minutes.
The moment the curtains went up and Ruffins walked out, he didn't have to speak because almost instinctively, the crowd knew to move to the stage, whistle, scream his name and dance. "This is the first time I've been able to catch him up here," said Jo Ann Smith. Ruffins' signature relaxed look, raspy voice, and unmistakable talent with his trumpet and lyrics, served the D.C. area a plate of southern hospitality they'd never forget. "I saw him 12 years ago, he rocked the house and he was just getting known back then and now he's become the man," says Ed Lockett. Ruffins, opened the set with "When It's Sleepy Time," a tune reminiscent of a little bit of traditional jazz but just funky enough to spark your anticipation for the next song. Though to many in the crowd, Ruffins was the main event, he opened the stage to Nayo Jones, a neo-soul singer with a bold, seductress persona on stage that matches her flow from the microphone. Jones, who was excited to be part of the tour, held the crowd's attention with her remix of "At Last," the Etta James classic and "Killing Me Softly," by Roberta Flack. "Kermit heard me sing and said "I'm going to put you to work,'" and here we are a year-and-a-half later and I'm on tour," said Jones.
Ruffins and Jones performances, complete with the audience waving white napkins in the air, took the audience on a snap your fingers, swing-era side of the experience like a lovely streetcar ride through New Orleans. The Stooges Brass Band hit the stage with an electric force. Their up-tempo brass music, singing, and choreography hyped the crowd to the next level, as promised by tuba player, Clifton "Spug" Smith. "We've come to have fun and we'll make sure they get off their feet," said Smith. The Stooges kept the momentum going with a mix of New Orleans second-line music, original chants and skits wrapped around the continuous harmony from the tambourine, trombone, trumpet, drums, and tuba. "It's amazing to me that they are able to keep that beat and rhythm and nobody's playing a keyboard," said Chapman, as she smiled and danced herself into exhaustion.
With all of the heat the New Orleans combo brought to the stage, you may wonder if there was room for The Main Squeeze. The concert was the band's D.C. debut. Judging from the crowd's reaction to their neo-soul style sound as the band hit the stage with their original song, "Love Yourself Somebody," The Main Squeeze was a perfect fit. "It's no better feeling you want than to know people want to have as much fun as you and that energizes you," said Corey Frye, lead singer for The Main Squeeze.

The mission of community at Watermark is to shepherd our body by "connecting people in authentic relationships that lead to spiritual transformation". Have you ever wondered what that means?
How do you develop authentic relationships?
Encouragement - Reminding each other of who you are in Christ, who God is and what His promises are for you.
Acceptance - Come as you are, but don't stay there.
Accountability - Living life in the light, sharing the struggles and the victories together in order to grow in dependence and trust in the Lord and experience freedom from sin.
Care - Recognizing the needs of each other, whether physical, spiritual, or emotional, and striving to help meet those needs.
Groups that practice these four principles on a regular basis, grow closer together, handle conflict with more grace, and shepherd and sharpen each other to look more like Christ.
Have you committed your life to Christ and accepted His salvation that was purchased for you on the cross?
Are you committed to community? Do you dedicate time weekly to corporate worship (i.e. Sunday services)?
Are you growing in your knowledge and understanding of the Word? Which of the spiritual disciplines do you need to grow in the most (prayer, daily time in the Word, scripture memory, confession, repentance, fellowship, service, evangelism, Sabbath/rest)?
Are you serving anywhere? Are you connected with the body of Christ, giving back, instead of strictly consuming?
Spend some time with your community group thinking through each of these principles and answering the following questions.
Does your community group practice Encouragement, Acceptance, Accountability, and Care together?
Which area needs the most growth for you personally, and then as a group?
Are you committed to the 4B's of Watermark to grow in your walk with the Lord?
The post The Mission of Community appeared first on Watermark Community Church Blog.
12 Questions to Find Out If Your Community Group Headed in the Right Direction?


According to recent studies and surveys more American travellers are interested in heading to Cuba since travel restrictions began to ease, the majority of them being regular travellers. Not only are most of these people favourable to a Cuba trip, but two of the destinations strengths, including beaches and cost, could prove encouraging for the overall tourism market.
As long-standing travel restrictions to Cuba continue to ease it seems more and more American travellers are considering a trip to the island. Published on the Ask Your Target Market website, new research showing the upward trend is presented in a 7 June article by writer Anne Pilon.
AYTM routinely posts professional-level, market research for companies, in this case a survey where nearly a quarter of respondents indicated they were interested in future travel to Cuba. Of that number, 29-percent answered they would likely book the destination sometime over the next 12 months. A small percentage of respondents had been to the country previously.
When it comes to deciding where to go, the survey found 30-percent of people list cost as their top consideration, followed by 23-percent listing safety. A smaller number of people claim to choose their destination by culture, climate, educational opportunities and proximity to family, friends and attractions.
While the organization found beach holidays commonly rank at the top, travellers also seem to enjoy all-inclusive resorts. Lower on the list of considerations came metropolitan areas, rural getaways and cultural experiences, while cruises and amusement parks trailed the survey in popularity.
AYTM also discovered that most of those who took the survey travel regularly, about one-fifth of respondents have journeyed more than an hour away from home during the past seven days while only 12-percent said they never travel. The results were even more interesting when taking into account international destinations, with the majority of respondents, 43-percent, saying it's been more than a year since they went out of the country.
Those who have travelled internationally before were a whopping 93-percent more likely to show interest in going to Cuba, while those who travelled internationally sometime over the last 12 months appeared 33-percent more likely to portray interest in going to the country.
Pilon deducts that based on research, Cuban attractions and resorts, as well as those offering charter flights to the country, should market to this particular traveller. Because beaches rank so high and cost is such a determining factor, she also recommends these companies present travel deals and use the country's warm climate as a selling point.
The research by AYTM closely aligns with a study presented by Skift, a news source for the travel industry. In its study, up to 25-percent of Americans were interested in going to Cuba sometime over the next year. Of course, Americans visiting Cuba still need to present a reason for going, including either a people-to-people cultural trip, travelling for education or to visit family members.

Corrie actor Rupert Hill is King of the Castle
Rupert Hill
He gave up Baldwin's knicker empire in Corrie, now actor Rupert Hill is starring in a hit show, has just become a new dad and rules at the Castle pub in the Northern Quarter
When Harry met Sally UK tour 2010. Sarah Jayne Dunn (Sally) and Rupert Hill (Harry)
Actor Rupert Hill has found that there is life after Coronation Street .
Since quitting the cobbles of Weatherfield he has not only been busy as an actor and musician but has even discovered a hidden talent for business.
As hunky Jamie Baldwin, grandson of knicker boss Mike in Corrie, he had his fair share of controversial storylines. Falling in love with his step-mum and running away with barmaid Violet Wilson and the baby shed had with gay barman Sean being just two of them.
And complicated as that sounds, real life wasnt any less a tangled web for 31-year-old Rupert. In spite of remaining tight-lipped about their relationship, he and co-star Jenny Platt, who played Violet were in fact a couple, even though she had been married for a matter of months. Lesser situations have had the tabloids in frenzy, so the fact the pair
managed to handle the situation with dignity was quite a feat.
Its three years since quitting the soap and here they are. Proud parents of a new baby, Matilda, who was two weeks overdue and absolutely nothing to do with barman Sean though the actor who plays him Antony Cotton is a good friend.
They are also owners of the Castle Hotel in the Northern Quarter and the reason why Rupert is giving this interview is that hes now co-starring with Sarah Jayne Dunn in the hit production of Norah Ephrons wisecracking When Harry Met Sally, which comes to the Opera House from May 10.
Happily, he doesnt regret his time in Corrie. I loved it. Without it I wouldnt be where I am now and people like you wouldnt be interested in interviewing me. I had a great time and was where I met my girlfriend, he says cheerfully.
Meeting her on Coronation Street - it was the same as anyone else. A lot of people tend to meet their partners at their work and it has always been this way with me. Ive never been the sort of person who goes out on the pull or chatting someone up, work is a good place to get to know someone.
Its clear hes nothing like the flirtatious commitment-phobic Harry, a role first made famous in the movie by Billy Crystal. Harry is fundamentally as far from myself as possible, admits Rupert.
Hes such a different character but the thing I like mostly about the role is making people laugh. I did a play called Deceptions with Michelle Collins, which started out as a psychological thriller but as it turned out the audience were laughing more and more and I really enjoyed the comedy stuff rather than the suspense.
Although I have seen when Harry Met Sally in the past I havent watched it recently. I really didnt want to end up doing an impersonation of Billy Crystal.
He started as a stand-up and theres this tendency today to give comedy roles to comedians, rather than actors but actors are good at comedy too!
Music too is another love and several years ago he nearly got a record deal but it didnt happen. Now hes in another band and has gigged all over Manchester they were called Yellow Dog but are rebranding in July he says.
Living in London and being in a band was impossible but when I got to Manchester I just immediately got involved with this city of musicians.
Theyre everywhere. Id be sitting in my room listening to a track by Elbow one minute and the next Im in the Temple of Convenience and theres Guy Garvey (Elbows lead singer) sitting there. Its a really great city for musicians. Much better than London.
So smitten is he with music that the plan is to create a recording studio above the Castle. The pub has been a big hit and has meant that he and Jenny have been able to weather the uncertainties of their recession-hit profession.
There are many TV programmes which are not being green lit, he explains. Also you dont want to get to a point where you have nothing, especially if you have a child, so it seemed like quite a sensible investment and in fact I have found that I am pretty good at it. I actually have a head for business. Me and my partner are even looking at other
pubs and other business ventures as well.
He says that he and 30-year-old Jenny had wanted the kind of place they liked to go to in the evening and they are much more likely to be seen in cool indie venues like the Big Hands on studenty Oxford Road rather than in Panacea.
They are, he admits, absolutely happy thought they have no plans as yet to tie the knot. Im sure it will happen at some point, he adds.
But one step at a time. Its not a pressing concern.
When Harry Met Sally runs from May 10-15 at the Manchester Opera House. Tel : 0844 847 2277

Red Sox 2012
Red Sox Week in Review
by Carrianne Hayslett, 2012-06-24T10:07:34.000-07:00June 24 2012, at 10:07 AM PDT
Red Sox, winners of four in a row, faced the 3rd place Nationals last Monday night. Each team had eight wins. Only the sun was hotter than the Red Sox bats, but it was the sun coupled with Nationals defense that won out. Jayden, Sam, Avery and Alex hit well – each getting three hits apiece. Down by seven, the Sox pride showed up in the game's last at bats. The team batted around and scored five runs to close the Nationals' lead to two. Charlie, with players on base, hit it hard but the Nationals infield made a great play to get Charlie at first base by inches. This game could have gone either way – at the end the Nationals got the call and the win, 8-6.
The final game of the season prove to be the best. The hard hitting Mariners jumped out to a 10-4 lead midway through the third inning. And then the Red Sox lumber company went to work as nine batters came to the plate. The Sox cut the Mariners' lead to 10-9 with a triple by Luke, doubles by Sam (3-4), Avery, and Alex, and singles by Jayden (3-4), Allie, Nathan (3-4), and Charlie (2-4). Not to be denied, Mariners got four in the fourth taking their lead to 14-9, only to again face the Sox' bats and another Red Sox five spot which tied the score, 14-14. The Sox defense held the Mariners in the top of the fifth. Allie hit a single to open the Sox bottom of the fifth, followed by Avery's (4-4) second home run of the game, and a double by Jayden and a single by Nathan, and the Sox finally had the lead 17-14. Mariners showed heart by taking the lead back 18-17, but that was only a prelude for the grand finale. With one out, Alex (4-5) hit a single. After a viliant at bat, Allie (3-4) made the second out. Luke(3-4) already with a triple in the game, hit a line shot over third base that rolled all the way to the wall. Alex scored to tie the game, and Luke beat the throw to home to give the Red Sox a walk off victory, 19-18. The Red Sox finished the season in fourth place with 9 wins and 5 losses. Great Job Sox!

The first month of 2018 has come and almost gone even though it felt like the longest month EVERRRR to me! With New Years, hubby's birthday and traveling to Panama, you can say we had a busy month but made lots of unforgettable memories.
This year I'm starting something new on my blog. At the end of each month, I will do a "Instagram Fashion Five Round Up". This will be a post detailing the 5 most popular looks of the month posted on Instagram. I will talk about favorite items of the month and link all the products or very similar styles available!
As I was browsing through Nordstrom Rack, I stumbled upon these maroon jeans! They were my size, on sale for $12.99 plus 20% off on top, talk about a steal! I've always wanted a pair of maroon jeans because you can style them so many ways. Easy comfortable looks with a t-shirt and converse or dress it up with light color tops and booties like I did. I also added this Burberry scarf for a pop of color. I have linked some similar pants below because the one I have on are completely sold out.
I absolutely love this off the shoulder floral ruffle top! You can wear it so many different ways, like on vacation with a pair of shorts and flip flops or mini skirt date night look or high waisted jeans like I did! This whole outfit besides the shoes (top, jeans and clutch) are from H&M. I had been looking for a pair of high waisted ripped black jeans for a while, they were a little on the higher priced end for H&M but worth every penny to me!
Everyone loves a good grey turtle neck bodysuit and when I saw this on Pink Lily Boutique website I ordered it right away. Also under $30 and you can save 10% when you sign up for their email subscription. I paired this top with a pair of high wasted jeans from American Eagle. These are another pair of my go to jeans, they are dark black, no rips and perfect for a clean look. I wore my favorite new pink clutch with this outfit for a pop of color. The top is linked here, the rest of the look + Emmas is linked below.
Now that we are parents, we will take a date "break" anytime of the day! Whenever our parents are available, early morning breakfast date to an afternoon happy hour drink, we don't care. This week we had an "afternoon day date" and I decided to wear this lace tank top with my grey cover up and a pair of dark blue jeans. We went to our favorite bar, Bar Tulia and walked around our downtown area, 5th Ave. Love this look for the Florida winter weather, because in the sun you are sweating and in the shade you are freezing, perfect for both! My sunnies are from Blenders Eyewear and now you can save 20% off your purchase when you use code ILDA20 at check out! Click here for their website.
I've watching this bralette from FreePeople to come back in stock like a hawk, so when it finally did, I had to order it right away. And now that I tried it on, I might order every color available! Since I had Emma and lost all the baby weight my breast are not the same. They have gotten a lot smaller (& saggy) but this bralette is a miracle worker! (Im wearing a small) I paired it with a pink sweater from last years H&M line, dark blue jeans and beige clutch and slip ons.
This is my Instagram Fashion Five Round Up for January. Any other outfits that you think should have made it on here? Which one is your favorite from the above? Also, my looks from Panama are not included in this post but if you want details on those looks, click here.

Stationfall
Stationfall is like an Among Us board game where everyone has something to hide
Spacechimp seems sus.
Deal by Chase Carter Contributor
Published on 4 May, 2021
About Stationfall
Survive the collapse of a stellar research base in Stationfall, an upcoming board game that mixes deduction and hidden roles with a desperate action economy that tasks players to make it back to Earth with their lives - and secrets - intact.
A space station has been forced out of orbit and is hurtling inexorably towards earth. Everyone aboard has 15 minutes to escape with their lives before being cooked upon re-entry. Players will have to rely on each other to navigate the station, operate its quickly failing systems and jettison an escape pod into the mesosphere. A traitor or two among their ranks will attempt to sabotage these efforts, but that's far from the only mystery.
Stationfall - published by Ion Game Design - puts one to nine players into the hermetically sealed shoes of the research base's motley crew. Each Identity - whether that be a chimp in a flight suit, the medical android, the lead doctor with a split personality or the masked and cloaked Stranger - provides unique actions that affect what can be done during the session's 10 to 14 rounds. Identities also determine who might ostensibly be a friend and an enemy at the outset of the game.
Rounds comprise the precious minutes between the present and the fiery conflagration that will eventually consume the station. Players begin the game with one of their Identities publicly revealed - the other roles remain hidden until they choose to pull back the curtain. On each minute, players will activate either their own character or a conspirator who has chosen to accept their influence. This pact works two ways and has its benefits, but it also means accepting the consequences of their hidden agenda.
Accruing and distributing Influence is one of Stationfall's major economies: a player spreading themselves too thin will lose points at the end of the game, but hoarding influence does nothing but limit their available actions, perhaps keeping them from escaping with their lives. They could always bribe other players, which uses no influence but can be turned down. Bribes also affect scoring at the end of the game, making the choice even more fraught.
Alternatively, a player can deploy Kompromat they've gathered over the course of play - leveraging evidence that might implicate their secret identity in return for favours. A player has the option to turn this ploy down, but it will mark them as suspicious. That's another of Stationfall's main mechanical elements: all players begin as Innocent, but certain actions or abilities raise the general suspicion as to their intentions. Being fingered as guilty will bar most Identities from winning the game, so players will need to actively manage their image.
Scoring at the end of the game - the Stationfall phase - takes into account several factors, including assets (living and otherwise) extricated from the vessel, whether the player made it out dead or alive, how many friends and foes also escaped and unused bribes. Stationfall can always be triggered by events beyond the natural end of the game - armed antimatter or setting Experiment X loose in the confines are just two catastrophes that advanced an already limited time table.
Ion Game Design also published the award-winning Pax series by the father-and-son team of Phil and Matt Eklund, along with the environmental themed Bios strategy series. If Stationfall reads close to Among Us - a video game that exploded in popularity online during 2020 - the publisher would agree. In a tweet from March 25th revealing the game, it drew a direct connection and stressed the "intrigue and tension" built into the foundation of the board game.
The Kickstarter campaign for Stationfall will be active through May 16th, with backers able to secure the base game for £46 ($64). Shipping is expected to begin in December of this year, and those interested can download a print-and-play, non-final version or access a digital experience on Tabletop Simulator.

Q: Making an Ajax form from an Ajax request in jQuery The client is making a request to the server.
I need to take part of that request, and make the form button work with Ajax.
This piece of code works perfectly for links:
var pagination_render = function() {
    var pagination = $('.pagination a');
    pagination.each(function() {
        $(this).click(function(event) {
            load_server(this.href, '.houseindex');
            return false;
        });
    });
};
pagination_render();

I tried numerous things for making the Ajax button work, and this is one of the tries:
var contact_user = function () {
    $('.expanded').find('#submit').each(function() {
        $(this).unbind('click');
    });

    $('.expanded').each(function() {
        $(this).find('#submit').click(function(event) {
            form_submit($(this).parent(), '.contactuser .msg');
            return false;
        });
    });
}

Whenever there is a successful Ajax call, it goes through all of the expanded items, and then binds a click event.
Now, sometimes this code works, and sometimes it doesn't.. When it doesn't work, it disables other events (toggle links) I have set up.
It seems as if I need to wait a few ms for it to load the component into the DOM.. Do I?

A: So I get that when you call contact_user you:

*

*First unbind any previous binded click events from the submit button. I see one possible problem there and is that you are looking for an id of #submit. You should only have one id in a single page. Therefore you only need to use $('#submit').each(...) or if you have several submit buttons in the page either use a class if there are several submit buttons inside an .expanded item or just use $('.expanded :submit')

*Adding a custom event when clicking the submit button. Same thing, you can simplify this by $('.expanded :submit') or if you truly only have one button with an id of submit (quite confusing). Go with $('#submit').

In conclusion:
var contact_user = function(){
   $('.expanded :submit').unbind('click');
   $('.expanded :submit').click(function(){
      form_submit($(this).parent(), '.contactuser .msg');
      return false;
   });
};

the :submit selector will select all <input type="submit" />.
