A decaying, 122-year-old Victorian marketed as “the worst house on the best block” of San Francisco has sold for nearly $2 million — an eye-catching price that the realtor said was the outcome of overbidding in an auction. The property sold at several hundred thousand dollars higher than other comparable fixer-uppers in the area as a result of a complex conservatorship sale, said Todd Wiley, who represented the seller. The house initially received the highest offer of about $1.4 million, and a probate judge ratified the offer, setting off a roughly 7-week process where the house stayed on the real estate market, generating intense interest.

In a variety of places, mask mandates are being lifted or voted down. A new indoor mask mandate takes effect Wednesday in New Orleans ahead of the Mardi Gras season. Elizabeth Hertel, director of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, recommended that people wear an N95 mask or two well-fitting face coverings. A parent group has called for school mask requirements, which are in place in a majority of individual districts but not at the statewide level. Spencer Cox exempted the Capitol and other state facilities from a municipal mask mandate.

Officials across the U.S. are again weighing how and whether to impose mask mandates as COVID-19 infections soar and the American public grows weary of pandemic-related restrictions.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the forthcoming plans, which come on the heels of the House backing the bipartisan infrastructure package late Friday.

Luum in Oakland, California, created a robot that can apply eyelash extensions on humans. The machine works alongside a professional lash artist to make the custom-eyelash-extension process quicker. The lash artist preps your lashes by cleaning, then applying under-eye and eyelid patches that have barcodes on them for the machine to read. One robot works to isolate each lash while the second robot picks the extensions, dips them into glue, and puts them on the isolated lash. The robot's hands are lightweight and will simply fall off if the client touches them. It can apply 25 lashes on each eye, and the lash artist applies the rest in the end to customize the look. The price is not yet finalized, but Luum is hoping the robotic technology and speed can set the prices lower than the average price of lash extensions. Insider's Caroline Aghajanian reviewed this service for a discounted media rate.

Morgan & Morgan is representing the plaintiffs in the class-action lawsuit, which names Pulte Home Company and S&ME, Inc., the designers and developers of the new Longleaf at Oakland community, as the defendants. “For generations, families have been paying final respects to their loved ones by laying their remains to rest in peace with dignity at Oakland Tildenville Cemetery. These families were shocked and horrified to see that sacred ground desecrated and deluged with runoff water, as if it was nothing more than a sewer or dump. We will fight to hold everyone responsible for this disgrace accountable – and to make sure no other families ever have to go through something like this again,” Morgan & Morgan attorneys John Morgan and Kathryn Barnett said in a statement.

OAKLAND, Calif. – Facebook on Thursday banned a large group called “Stop the Steal” that supporters of President Donald Trump were using to organize protests against the presidential vote count. Inside the groups, members and organizers tried to ensure they would get around Facebook's moderators and “trolls” who might report or mock them. “In line with the exceptional measures that we are taking during this period of heightened tension, we have removed the Group ‘Stop the Steal,’ which was creating real-world events," Facebook said in a statement. "The group was organized around the delegitimization of the election process, and we saw worrying calls for violence from some members of the group." As of Thursday afternoon, a copycat “Stop the Steal” group was growing steadily, nearing 12,000 members, and others were easily searchable on Facebook.

In other moves, offensive lineman John Molchon was signed to the practice squad and running back Kenjon Barner was activated from the reserve/suspended list to the practice squad.

ANSWER: We started product inclusion as what we call a 20% project, which means we get to spend 20% of our time doing something that we’re passionate about, even if it’s not our role. And the goal of product inclusion is just to make sure that we’re really building products for the world. We know that we’re designing for people who come from different places, different races, economic status and more. So we spent half a year educating our technical Googlers around what inclusive product design means. So we just got stuff out, anything that was alienating, but also proactively brought in the experiences of our underrepresented Googlers.

At a Saturday night briefing, utility officials said high winds were expected to arrive midday Sunday and reach 40 to 60 mph (64 to 97 kph) with higher gusts in the mountains. Four of the five largest fires in state history occurred since mid-August, when a massive series of lightning strikes sparked hundreds of fires. All of the largest fires have been fully or significantly contained. The combination of high winds, very low humidity and a parched landscape has the region on edge. A fire weather watch is in effect for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties from late Sunday through Tuesday.
