Sophia Loren underwent emergency surgery Sunday after suffering several fractures, including one to her femur, after a bad fall at her Swiss home.
The Italian acting icon, who turned 89 on Sept. 20, fell in her bathroom and sustained several fractures to her hip as well as a serious fracture to her femur, which needed surgery, a source close to the actress told The Hollywood Reporter. The source added that there is cautious optimism about the outcome of the operation and Loren’s recovery, which will include a short convalescence and then a long rehabilitation.
News of Loren’s fall was broken by a restaurant she was set to open in the Italian city of Bari on Sept. 26 — the fourth such restaurant bearing her name. The actress was also set to receive honorary citizenship from the city, but now all her engagements for the foreseeable future have been canceled.
Sources say the actress’ sons Carlo and Edoardo are by her side at the hospital. Edoardo directed Loren in her most recent feature film, the 2020 Netflix feature The Life Ahead, which won her a David di Donatello Award for best actress. In 2021, she was the subject of the Netflix documentary What Would Sophia Loren Do?
Loren’s last public appearance was at the Armani fashion show in Venice on Sept. 2, held during the 80th Venice Film Festival.

Ducky died! He was 90.
Actor David McCallum, who became a teen heartthrob in the hit series The Man From U.N.C.L.E. in the 1960s and was the eccentric medical examiner in the popular NCIS 40 years later, has died. He was 90.
McCallum died Monday of natural causes surrounded by family at New York Presbyterian Hospital, CBS said in a statement.

Let's get back to the nuts.
Accorns are nuts. The squirrels have run out of hiding places. The wood peckers are going strong. I am Looking for a fake tree full of holes. The accorns fall into a bucket inside the trunk so the holes don't fill up. It makes the quirrels work harder but everytime they bring a new nut and they can't see any other accorns. They blame the Blue Jays when they squack.
Does she have a Wild Foods Department?
a police officer approaches a street vendor selling acorns and asks him what he's selling. the vendor says he's selling acorns for $10 each. the police officer asks, what kind of scam is that? the vendor says, it's no scam, eating acorns boosts your iq. the police officer buys one and eats it. then he suddenly shouts, hey, why did i just pay $10 for that when i could have got one for free right under that oak tree? the vendor says, see, you're smarter already.
the police officer says, hey, you're right. give me 10 more.

Yes. But I usually look for what methods they talk about. I want to see if method x has any merit. Many methods or ideas seem to work on the surface or when you look back you can find the winning number in a list and say yes this works but howany numbers do you half to play to find that winning number consistently. Unfortunately looking at blogs and for messages can take hours just to read much less creating a spreadsheet to back test the methods to see what percent of the time they actually work.

As been said here on lp before it's a consensus. Basically you have many different systems or methods and you do a frequency count since they don't all agree with each other but the highest count number from differing systems is usually the right one where there are a number of methods that agree with each other as to which number or pair to play.
