'The Hand of God' Trailer: 'The Young Pope' Creator Paolo Sorrentino Gets Personal in Naples
Posted on Thursday, August 19th, 2021 by Joshua Meyer
Get ready to be moved by The Hand of God…on Netflix.
You might know the name Paolo Sorrentino from HBO's The Young Pope and The New Pope, starring Jude Law and John Malkovich, respectively; two different men associated with the talented Mr. Tom Ripley and his movie travels in Italy. Before he jumped on the Home Box Office network, Sorrentino made a splash with his 2013 Italian film, The Great Beauty (La Grande Bellezza), which won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Now, he's returning to his hometown of Naples, Italy, for The Hand of God.
Despite the religious-sounding movie and TV titles that pepper his filmography, Sorrentino himself doesn't profess to be religious. In an interview with SBS, he characterized himself as a "non-believer." However, he wants to make a believer out of you — on Netflix — with The Hand of God.
Check out the teaser below. It's sure to have you doing a chef's kiss and building your Italian vocab, saying, "Bellisima."
The Hand of God Teaser Trailer
Speaking for all of us in the 2020s, the teaser for The Hand of God opens with the words, "I don't like reality anymore. Reality is lousy." These words come from a young man who would prefer to put on his headphones than live in the world.
He stares up at the big screen in a movie theater. Gosh, dammit, a movie theater. You remember those.
On the streets outside, the young man is confronted with the sight of a film crew doing some location shooting. There's some whistling, moped-riding, flag-waving, cigarette-smoking (don't recommend that), and hula-hooping.
"So, do you have something to say?" a man asks in impassioned Italian. "Do you have a story to tell?"
"Yes!" the young man replies.
"Then spit it out!"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that this is a very personal, perhaps semiautobiographical project for Sorrentino, the Naples native turned international filmmaker. Here's the official synopsis for The Hand of God:
From Academy Award-winning writer and director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty), comes the story of a young man's heartbreak and liberation in 1980s Naples, Italy. The Hand of God follows Fabietto Schisa, an awkward Italian teen whose life and vibrant, eccentric family are suddenly upended — first by the electrifying arrival of soccer legend Diego Maradona and then by a shocking accident from which Maradona inadvertently saves Fabietto, setting his future in motion. Sorrentino returns to his hometown to tell his most personal story, a tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss.
The Hand of God is in select theaters on December 3, 2021, and on Netflix on December 15, 2021. Keep this one on your radar.

…the one who humbles himself will be exalted.
At a recent gathering with my sisters, I lamented the closing of a once favorite restaurant. Though the food was wonderful and the atmosphere was welcoming, the owner was even more so. We chose this eatery often, especially when we had our mom with us. You see, that owner was Ron Santo and our mom was a fan.
It was around 5:00 when we arrived that evening so long ago. On the way into the restaurant, our mom wondered aloud if Ron Santo would be there. As it happened, the Cubs' famed third baseman made one of his frequent appearances to mingle with his patrons that night. When Mom saw him, she flew out of her chair to greet him. Ron Santo graciously shook her hand. Unfortunately for him, our mom didn't let go. She pulled the poor man to our table. "You have to meet my five daughters," she insisted.
Mr. Santo never stopped smiling as our mom dragged him along. When they arrived at our table, we apologized for our mom's enthusiasm, but he would have none of it. Ron Santo looked at us and said, "Well, you sure have beautiful daughters, just like their mother!" He chatted with us for several minutes, gave our mom a hug and then went on his way. When we left the restaurant, Mr. Santo made a point of saying good-bye to Mom. Though this beloved Cubby is remembered for so much more, I'll never forget his kindness to our mom.
Loving God, help me always to appreciate the good people who grace my life.
Joseph took them to the region of Galilee.
There he settled in a town called Nazareth.
On this Feast of St. Joseph, my thoughts return to one of two references made to Joseph during our visit to Israel. While in Nazareth, we viewed Mary's home and another dwelling carved into stone. Our guide remarked that the people lived in stone homes. Even shelves and seating areas inside where hewn from rock. "If you look around," Yossi observed, "there aren't many trees here. No one could have made a living as a carpenter." Archaeologists and historians agree that Joseph was more likely a stonemason and a versatile handyman of sorts who could handle a variety of tasks. He agreed that Jesus likely followed in Joseph's footsteps which would make him a very-much-in-demand artisan as well. "This was very respectable work," Yossi added.
In the midst of this commentary, I imagined Joseph looking more like the Israeli soldiers I'd seen rather than the sedate statuary which adorns many churches. There is nothing easy about carving into stone and Joseph certainly built strong muscles in the process. There was nothing easy about Joseph's lot in life. When Mary agreed to be the mother of Jesus, she pulled Joseph into impossible circumstances. Her out-of-wedlock pregnancy could have caused Mary to be stoned to death. To protect her, Joseph intended to divorce Mary quietly until an angel explained the circumstances. So it was that Joseph took Mary into his home as his wife. They were barely settled when a census forced them to travel to Bethlehem. After Jesus was born there, Joseph packed up his family to flee to Egypt. To avoid further danger, Joseph finally settled his family in Nazareth where Jesus grew into manhood.
We celebrate the Good Saint Joseph because he gave up everything to provide for Mary and Jesus.
Dear God, give us the courage to emulate Joseph's generosity and selflessness as we care for those we have been given to love.
My dad would have celebrated his ninety-eighth birthday today. Perhaps I shouldn't have written "would have" as heaven may acknowledge such milestones with far more revelry than we do!
When I was a little girl, the proximity of my dad's birthday to Christmas troubled me. Young as I was, I appreciated the possibility that his special day was likely lost in the hustle and bustle of yuletide every year. Eventually, I asked my dad if he minded that his birthday fell two days after Christmas.
My dad replied with great wisdom. He told me that his birth date was just fine with him. After all, Christmas was a very good day which led into his own very good day. The truth is that my grandparents had little money which leads me to believe that my dad didn't receive many gifts on either day. Still, he shared his memories with a smile big enough to convince this daughter that his childhood Christmases and birthdays were just as they should have been. It occurs to me that I should take this revelation as an invitation to make every day special for someone!
Loving God, thank you for my dad who taught me about your love by loving me so generously.
After spending some very enjoyable time outdoors in God's company, I had to laugh over my attempts at prayer. There are times when the tone and the topic of my prayers amaze me. I can only imagine what God must be thinking! More than once, I've stepped back from a monologue directed at the Lord God to ask myself what I'm thinking. Each time, after getting over the unmitigated gall with which I dared to approach The Almighty, I take a deep breath and begin again. It's during these second beginnings that I apologize for my nerve in ordering God around, I give thanks for God's unconditional love and I invite God into a real conversation with me. Though I never actually "hear" a single word from above, God communicates just the same in the peaceful assurance which fills me up and urges me on. The latter is the experience I enjoyed today.
It occurs to me that we humans are quite fortunate to be created in God's image and likeness. God's love is so great that it spilled out and took form in Creation. God tells us that you and I are God's greatest handiwork. Part of that greatness comes in the traces of God's love which remain entrenched in us. I can't help thinking of this infusion of love as God's DNA within us. As a result, we all know on some level that we are loved and therefore listened to. No wonder we're not only compelled to pray, but also to assume that we're heard.
Loving God, thank you for your loving care.
is the one who is greatest.
A recent walk around a nearby lake reminded me of just how small I am. This particular lake offers only a tiny beach area. The remainder of its circumference is lined with trees and foliage. The greenery is interrupted only by a narrow path just wide enough for two. As I walked, I felt like a tiny ant in the grand scheme of things. Though the lot where I left my car was actually only a block away, I felt lost in the dense forest around me.
There are other times when I feel very small as well. In spite of my best efforts, it seems that I cannot do much to solve the problems of this world. Though I try very hard to live up to my writing, I don't seem to accomplish much regarding wars which continue to be fought, poverty which continues in full force and political interests which overpower the good of the many. I wonder often if there actually is anything I can do to make an important difference.
Dear God, thank you for acknowledging that the small things we do for one another make a world of difference after all.

Medicaid expansion associated with lower cardiovascular mortality
Gregory Twachtman
FROM JAMA CARDIOLOGY
Counties in states that expanded Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act have experienced a significantly smaller increase in cardiovascular mortality rates among middle-aged adults, compared with counties in states that did not expand coverage, according to findings from a new study.
In expansion-state counties, the change in cardiovascular mortality was stable between the pre-expansion (2010-2013) and postexpansion (2014-2016) periods, at 146.5-146.4 deaths per 100,000 residents per year, compared with mortality rates in nonexpansion counties during the same periods (176.3-180.9 deaths per 100,000), Sameed Ahmed M. Khatana, MD, and colleagues wrote in JAMA Cardiology.
"After accounting for demographic, clinical, and economic differences, counties in expansion states had 4.3 fewer deaths per 100,000 residents per year from cardiovascular causes after Medicaid expansion than if they had followed the same trends as counties in nonexpansion states," Dr. Khatana, of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and colleagues wrote..
That translated into 2,039 fewer total deaths per year in residents aged between 45 and 64 years from cardiovascular causes after Medicaid expansion, the authors noted.
In all, 29 states, plus Washington, D.C., were included in the expansion group, and 19 states were in the nonexpansion (control) group. During the study period, from 2010 to 2016, the number of expansion counties ranged between 912 and 931, and for the nonexpansion counties, between 985 and 1,029. About half of the residents in each group were women. The percentage of black residents was lower in expansion states, but the percentage of Hispanic residents did not differ. Compared with nonexpansion counties, expansion counties also had a lower prevalence of diabetes (8.5% vs. 9.7% in the nonexpansion counties), obesity (26.2% vs. 29.1%), and smoking (17.1 vs. 18.9%); a lower mean percentage of poor residents (14.4% vs 16.6%; all with P less than .001); and a higher median household income.
Expansion counties also fared better when it came to health insurance coverage. In 2010, 14.6% of their residents had no coverage, compared with 19.5% of residents in nonexpansion counties. During the study period, the decrease in the percentage of middle-aged residents without health coverage was larger in expansion than in nonexpansion counties (7.3% vs. 5.6%, respectively), as was the decrease in low-income residents without coverage (19.8% vs. 13.5%).
However, the authors cautioned that, given the observational nature of the study, they were "not able to make a causal association between expansion of Medicaid eligibility and differences in the cardiovascular mortality rates between the two groups of counties. It is possible that there were other unmeasured time varying factors that can explain the observed association."
Despite that limitation of the study, which observed adults in all income categories and was not limited to low-income residents, the researchers noted that, given the association between Medicaid expansion and cardiovascular mortality rates, as well as the "high burden of cardiovascular risk factors among individuals without insurance and those with lower socioeconomic status," policy makers might consider the results in future discussions about changes to eligibility for and expansion of Medicaid.
Dr. Khatana is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. Two authors reported relationships with drug companies outside of the reported study; the rest of the authors had no disclosures to report.

Ex-centric Australian Modernisms/Modernity: Contributions of non-Anglo Refugees and Migrants.
Modernism remains a contentious term but, even so, to exclude a group from its capacious frame is to relegate them eternally to a belatedness linked to being 'outside' or pre-historic (as in the case of Indigenous writers). Today it would be considered absurd to exclude writers such as Alexis Wright or Kim Scott from Modernism and Postmodernism but that does not necessarily apply to non-Anglo-Celtic writers who draw on multilingual traditions. In Australian discussions of Modernism/Modernity it is rarely noted that the protocols and conventions of Modernism brought by those postwar immigrants who arrived (and continue to arrive) in Australia from all parts of the world inevitably reshaped Australian culture. One of the barriers to researching such revision is to focus only on contributions in one language. This remains an area where much research needs to happen.

Q: How much further does code execute after an asynchronous function is called Apologies if the title of this question is slightly confusing, I was struggling to find a way to word this.
Basically, when an asynchronous function is called, how much further down the code will be executed if the asynchronous function is called from other functions, objects, or files. For example:
function func1() {
  // async function 1
  // async function 2
}

function func2() {
  // more code
}

func1();
func2();

Let's say we execute func1() and both the async functions inside of it take a very long time to run. Will we continue on to func2() while the content of func1() is still being run, or will we block until func1() is finished before continuing to func2()?

A: JavaScript is single threaded, non-blocking and asynchronous language. JavaScript has call stack, event loop and a callback queue. Words are taken directly from this video. Javascript works on v8 engine (chrome), spider monkey (firefox) which provide JavaScript call stack and heap. v8 or spider monkey provide call stack to Javascript so whenever a function is called, it is stored in the call stack of the runtime (browser in our case, local if you have node installed). Browser also provide the web apis to the javascript like setTimeOut, XMLHttpRequest and DOM. The pictorial illustration is something like this. (Source is the same video which I've tagged.)

JavaScript is single threaded and it means it can execute one function at a time as it has only one call stack. So whenever an asynchronous code (inside func1)is executing, it is executed through webAPIs provided by the browser. The role of callback queues come here. Whenever the result from the Async code is executed, it is stored in the callback queue and it waits for the stack to get empty (event driven programming). Whenever it sees that the stack is empty, the function from the callback queues will start executing.
In your case, you're calling func1, it kicks in some async code but currently func1 is in stack. If the async code has completed and if it sees the stack as empty, it will executed the async code first and then func2 but if the async code hasn't completed, it will start executing the func2 and the callback queue will wait for the stack to get empty. In  this case, the flow will be func1 --> func2 --> async code.
So, it is matter of timing. For async code, if the code has returned and waiting in callback queue, as soon as it sees the stack empty, it will kick in and start executing the callbacks (.then or callback from setTimeOut etc.) I'll recommend you to watch that video for better insights and what an event loop in JS is. If I'm missing out something, anyone please feel free to edit this answer or provide suggestions for edit.

A: JavaScript is single threaded, it literally means nothing can be executed in the same time. If your code has asynchronous nature it means that it is executed in uknown future. I said uknown because it depends from the code. For example asynchronous code for ajax call will be executed when the browser gets the response from the server.
That said, the async code is not executed in the declaration moment but in uknown next event loop. Furthermore it not blocks the current execution. In javascript your execution code can not be disturbed. It just runs through all lines.
Going back to the example, if func1 has no sync blocking code then func2 will be executed right away without any delay.

A: Asynchronous callback are top level events (similar to button click events) and can only be started when there is no other scripts executing.
Execution will continue till call stack is empty (including "global user code" which what your sample shows) and script engine itself gets control back - so both func1() and func2() will finish before callbacks are executed.
Note: you can't rely on such behavior for normal code - if "asynchronous" function has both synchronous and asynchronous code branches callback from that function can be executed synchronously without even returning to calling function (this can happen with plain callbacks or any other form including promises).

He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. Under it were figures of gourds, for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward.

So February is just around the corner and for all my high schoolers that means Valentine's. Now I don't know about your students, but the kids I teach are not fans of the ubiquitous love hearts and flowers of romance. In fact Valentine's horror would be much more up their street.
So this gives me a great opportunity to do some creative writing and them a chance to satisfy their natural desire for chaos.
Check out some ideas for Valentine's disasters writing here.


Greens: 5,500 square feet of Over-seeded TifEagle Bermudagrass.
Rough: Tifway 419 Bermuda over-seeded with ryegrass/fescue at 2″.
Architect(s): Pete Dye (1984); Ron Whitman (2015).
Purse: $10.25 million; $1.845 million, 550 FedExCup points (winner).
Defending Champion: Bubba Watson defeated Kevin Kisner 7 & 6.
Notes: Of the top 66 players, 64 are playing this week. Rickie Fowler and Adam Scott DNS.
Notes II: This is the fourth year at ACC.
2018 Bubba Watson 7 & 6 Continued his outstanding late winter/early spring form by dominating.
2017 Dustin Johnson 1-up Jon Rahm battled but DJ never trailed in any match over the entire week.
2016 Jason Day 5 & 4 Remember Day couldn't even bend over to pick up the ball out of the hole? Yeah, that good.
The last major renovation was after the 2016 edition.
Recent Defending Champion(s): Tiger Woods (2003-04).
Multiple Winners (entered) Woods, Day.
First TOUR Win: Kevin Sutherland (2002), Henrik Stenson (2007) and Ian Poulter (2010).
Oldest Winner 39; Watson (2018).
Odd Fact: Prior to 2016 this was a knockout-style tournament. The original one and done!
Hold on with both hands and whatever you do, do NOT come in second in pool play!
This is the perfect formula to break someone out of a slump or to re-establish focus.
It's "pick it up, you're good".
It's not having to write down NINE after the third ball goes in the water.
And it's unpredictable as all get out!
Shoot 65 and lose? Sure!
Shoot 73 and win? Of course!
Just make sure you're on the right side of that!
All of these players have played some format of match play in the last few seasons here, at ISPS Handa, Ryder Cups, Presidents Cups, college golf, you name it.
I'm looking for heat and ball-strikers to get me through these tough waters. Making eight-footers for par all day is great but these are NOT ginormous greens that everyone will find in regulation; they're average in size.
If it's Pete Dye there will be plenty of risk and reward and the winner will have to include that angle in his playbook.
Dustin Johnson: I actually like that he has Matsuyama in his group so he'll stay interested unlike his 0-3 last year.
Hideki Matsuyama: T18 is his best in three tries at ACC proving that making putts is more than a formality.
Branden Grace: Only once into the Round of 16 in six tries, he hasn't inspired since going close in Scottsdale.
Chez Reavie: Only Reavie has a worst record than Grace since going close in Scottsdale. No form = no chance for an upset.
Justin Rose: Last time he snuggled up on a Pete Dye track he cashed T8 at THE PLAYERS. Too sharp through the entire bag for me.
Gary Woodland: The streak of weekends ended at 22 last week at Valspar. Motivation could be an issue here.
Eddie Pepperell: After trying to steal THE PLAYERS, we'll see how he stacks up against his countryman. His three matches will somehow all be entertaining, if not, his post-round pressers I guarantee will.
Emiliano Grillo: Very solid T26 at THE PLAYERS but that's not enough for me. I like his complete bag and makes for an interesting long shot.
Brooks Koepka: Form is temporary, class is permanent. It's not close in this foursome as there is no form but I can spot the class a mile away.
Tom Lewis: If the Ryder Cup pixie dust exists, he'll need a double-shot as this field is loaded.
Rory McIlroy: Well, what's the counter-argument again? He'll get bored and forget to show up?
Matthew Fitzpatrick: He'll be hitting first every shot for three days.
Justin Harding: Brand-new and a major step-up in class.
Luke List: It's hard to be the underdog with three other 'dogs.
Justin Thomas: Didn't find much fun in Florida (T30, T35) and will have to get motivated after a week off last week. Upset alert for me.
Keegan Bradley: Won't make enough putts for me but I'm not breaking any news here.
Matt Wallace: Hasn't been bothered one bit by the courses and events in the USA and wouldn't surprise me if knocked out the Dane at the end to advance.
Lucas Bjerregaard: Hard to ignore T12 (Honda) and T30 (THE PLAYERS) in his last two.
Bryson DeChambeau: He's played enough match play golf to get a pass from me.
Marc Leishman: Please make it windy as possible.
Kiradech Aphibarnrat: Gives zero f#cks and won't be bothered by any of this.
Russell Knox: History hasn't been kind here and won't be around for the heaviest winds of the week on the weekend.
Francesco Molinari: One great round with the new sticks doesn't make a season.
Webb Simpson: Bermuda greens and his short game nick this group for me.
Thorbjorn Olesen: Would take some doing with the pedigree above him.
Satoshi Kodaira: I mean, come on.
Jon Rahm: Part of his greatest is always teetering on that line of insanity and perfection. He won't get four rounds to turn it 'round this week.
J.B. Holmes: He made all of his putts for the season on the back nine at Riviera.
Si Woo Kim: Wonderfully dark horse who could win all three matches with a hot putter or WD after three holes because of some unforeseen illness/malady.
Xander Schauffele: Quick, who has already won half of the WGC titles this season? Perfect temperament.
Rafa Cabrera Bello: Looking to match the Paul Casey exacta as he crashed and burned his last time out at THE PLAYERS. Took third here in 2016.
Tyrrell Hatton: Fire burns both ways, caveman.
Lee Westwood: I'd pay to watch the top two scramble the bottom two.
Paul Casey: I'm riding the heat wave as he'll play freely with the Masters on the horizon. Check his record there.
Cameron Smith: Super short game will be his friend again this week but my tiebreaker is broken tee-to-green.
Charles Howell III: He's been in the round of 16 the last two years and it's not out of the question for three-in-a-row.
Abraham Ancer: Welcome to the big leagues, dawg.
Tommy Fleetwood: Metronome plus in flying form.
Louis Oosthuizen: Big result at Valspar but wonderfully inconsistent.
Byeong-Hun An: There's at least one big upset each year.
Jason Day: He's won this event twice, including with a bad back in 2016. T8 followed by MC plants just enough doubt.
Phil Mickelson: This group is exactly what he needs to keep focus all three matches.
Henrik Stenson: Nothing inside the top 16 in seven events makes him the odd-man out.
Jim Furyk: His iron game will have to be sharp as he'll be hitting first in all three matches.
Tiger Woods: Right format, wrong track. Optimists will point out his last starts on "new" courses/events are pretty good. Pessimists will point out THAT PUTTER.
Patrick Cantlay: He'll be happy to see only two inches of rough as he checks in No. 180 in fairways yet 10th Tee-to-Green.
Brandt Snedeker: Todd Anderson! T50. TODD ANDERSON T5@!!#!@. Todd Anderson T30. Only Tiger has a better short game and he's not making anything.
Aaron Wise: Classic sophomore slump since the calendar turned to 2019. Long-term hold and enjoy for me.
Tony Finau: Has anyone who has featured on Feherty in 2019 played well this season? Is this like the SI Cover Jinx? No? Maybe? Did you know Finau hurt his ankle at the Masters last year? #NoShitSherlock.
Ian Poulter: Going the wrong way, this is a perfect time for some heads-up golf. I'll remind you this isn't the Ryder Cup or anything close to it.
Kevin Kisner: Smashed in the final last year and just hasn't put together a full week of play yet this season. BUT. It's Bermuda, his preferred surface. This is a recording.
Keith Mitchell: Brutal draw for this first-timer. He'll be back.
Bubba Watson: #BubbaGolf likes it where he likes it, regardless of format. Not one of the most difficult groups assembled either.
Jordan Spieth: This is exactly what he needs or he needs to be book on Feherty. Last I heard from him, the putter is fixed. Ok.
Billy Horschel: 151st Tee-to-Green and 8th putting.
Kevin Na: Broken pinky has set him back. Like WAY BACK.
Patrick Reed: The alarm bells sounded with the addition of David Ledbetter to Team Reed. I'm going to let this marinate and check back in at Bethpage Black.
Sergio Garcia: His new hometown of Austin should make for a comfy week. Not firing at THE PLAYERS or Valspar doesn't default him out of this group.
Shane Lowry: MC in three of four starts on TOUR in 2019 but still has one more WGC than Garcia. Think about that for a second.
Andrew Putnam: He's 207th off the tee.
Shaded are the winners but I know you knew that!


It is a safe human being who can humbly know one's true nature. In this way, we can be in the world, whilst being of Love.
These gatherings are sacred spaces where everyone is welcome. People going through their Dark Night of the Soul experiences, people who have had awakenings and want community, people struggling in their life in various ways, and/or people simply wanting connection along their journey are likely to find home in these gatherings.
Belonging, community, connection and a healthy nervous system are crucial for our well-being. We gather to become more intimate with, and more available for, our life. For those who would like support in their journey, this is an affordable option.
Gatherings focus on practical and experiential exercises specifically designed for the development of self-awareness, self-love, safety and a healthy nervous system. Each gathering is organically shaped around attendees' needs and wants. Each gathering includes a guided rest, time for questions and sharing, ways to heal the nervous system, and ways to engage in self-inquiry. Participation is always optional.
In this group we honor our experiences and we learn that we don't have to pretend, or hide, or run. We gather together in a welcoming space where we are allowed to be exactly who we are, exactly as we are, and through slow, simple experiential practices we realize that profound safety can be found right here and now.
Safety is important. Our bodies, our spirits, and our psyches function with more well-being when safety is known from within.
We live in a culture that often disempowers and creates stress, a culture that conditions us to find our well-being in people, places, and superficial activities and things – without teaching us sustainable, empowering safety from the inside out. As such, we often don't know how to cope with existing in an overwhelming world, or how to recover from traumatic experiences. Many of us have developed post-traumatic stress as a result, and have forgotten that safety is possible.
We can learn. By providing a safe environment for this deliberate purpose, we can slowly and gently learn what it's like to feel safe.
We come together to find safety in our experiences and discover that we are safe – even when we have trauma or loud core stories and emotions.

I stayed with my contracted body as I said the word over and over. Eventually some content started to arise. I saw images of my grandparents' house, which led to images of my grandfather.
As I continued to stay with what was arising I was able to see that my grandfather, who lived and breathed by rigid should energy, had passed his should beliefs on to me. It was like I was able to see a whole matrix of conditioning. I curiously studied all the should energy and corresponding beliefs that I took on from him, and as I did, they slowly started to release and I was able to get clear on what beliefs were his, and what were mine.

Note about the painting: I felt conflicted about using this photo for the event. Wanting to celebrate my friend who is also a newly certified Living Inquiries facilitator… and yet it's exclusivity stares me in the face. This tears at me, because I am adamant about the inclusion of all peoples, and here I am posting a painting that seems to be full of white people. Moving forward I will do better at being aware of my white lens, and what it is excluding.

•	When we don't know how to be with what we're experiencing and feeling, we don't know how to value it.
•	If we don't have worth with what we're experiencing and feeling, we can't value or find worth in ourselves.
•	When we can't value ourselves, we can't love ourselves.
The good news is that there are simple practices that can help you to slowly learn that it is safe to connect with your body. We can learn new ways of being that will shift the old neural pathways and the habits associated with them, into new healthy and loving habits (1) .
If you're interested and willing to engage in some new practices, read on and find out for your self (2) what's possible!
•	Heat: hot beverages, baths, showers, water bottles, etc are very fondly received by my nervous system. Your nervous system may appreciate cold temperatures, or a mixture of hot and cold. Honor your uniqueness.
•	Speaking or connecting with friends or support systems.
•	After reading this sentence, let your eyes gently close, feel your body in the chair (or wherever you are situated), take a breath, and take a moment to notice what is going on in your direct experience right this very moment.
•	How is it to be sitting in this chair? Said another way, what is being experienced as I'm sitting in this chair?
•	Start slow, gentle and curious.
•	Keep returning to simple, over and over.
•	Play and practice for short periods of time at first.
•	What am I seeing?
•	What am I thinking?
•	What energies or visceral sensations are present?
•	Am I judging myself?
•	What is it like when I judge myself?
•	Can I allow the judging, but also gently bring some attention to something simple that is here? Be open to the answer being yes or no, or maybe some yes and some no.
•	Can I curiously rest in that which is simple? Be open to the answer being being yes or no, or maybe some yes and some no.
•	Is it time to stop inquiring and do something else?
I hope that this blog post has helped you connect with your life in new ways (3) . When a person experiments with their experience, magic often happens (ie their neural pathways change, which means other things change!). As you practice getting to know yourself, you will discover what feels supportive and evolutionary, what feels loving, and what does not. I'd love to hear what you discover!
(1) It takes neural pathways anywhere from 18 to 164 days to shift, so repetitive engagements with new practices increase sustained shifts.
(2) I am assuming that you have a sense of inner resourcing and agency. These practices are meant to gently bring you into a deeper relationship with yourself, and are not a replacement for direct care. If you are in crisis, or in need of medical care, please pursue specialized or 1:1 support.
(3) There is much else to be said. Feel free to check out other past blogs posts as I share practical information in almost every blog post. I also have free audios available and a youtube channel with some instructive videos. Lastly, check out www.thelivinginquiries.com for lots of audio and video resourcing.

Diane Abbott death threat: Pensioner who threatened to torch MP's house in vile racist letter gets 12-month community order
In a letter sent to the office of Diane Abbott MP Roy Douglas Brown threatened to torch her house and car with the member of parliament trapped inside. Picture: PA/LAUREN HURLEY

A pensioner has admitted sending a racist letter to veteran Hackney MP Diane Abbott in which he described her as "black vermin".
Brown from Barkingside was given a 12 month community order and fined £85 after pleading guilty to sending an offensive letter to Hackney MP Diane Abbott. Picture: Jon King
Roy Douglas Brown, 69, of Dunspring Lane, Barkingside, admitted sending a letter to Ms Abbott at her office in the Houses of Commons conveying an offensive or indecent message.
Barkingside Magistrates' Court heard yesterday (May 2) that a shamed Brown had sent a letter to Parliament saying he would send "black vermin, thugs, druggies, gangs, car thieves, machetes and scum to Diane Abbott's house."
He menacingly wrote that he would "burn her house and her car with Abbott trapped inside."
He also said that she was "fat enough" to be used as a shield.
And the pensioner, who had never offended before, recalled "the blacks who murdered Pc Blakelock."
PC Keith Henry Blakelock was murdered in 1985 in the Broadwater Farm riot at the housing estate in Tottenham, north London.
The pensioner confessed to police that his bizarre ramble to the shadow home secretary had been in retaliation over riots in Haringey in 2011.
He was traced by detectives after his DNA was found on the letter. In a police interview, he admitted his guilt.
The 69-year-old said he considered the riot's perpetrators to be "vermin" and told police that the majority of offenders were black and that is why he believed them to be "black vermin."
Abbott's parliamentary assistant, who opened the letter on August 8 last year, said she found the contents to be "deeply offensive" and that it caused "distress."
Brown's defence counsel Farhana Rahman-Cook said her client had "vulnerabilities" adding: "He's completely embarrassed by being in front of the court."
In his statement, District Judge Gary Lucie said that a letter by Brown shown to the court showed his remorse following the incident.
He added: "I accept that you are not racist, but the letter does refer to black people and that makes the offence more serious," he said.
He gave Brown a 12-month community order and ordered him to complete a 10-day rehabilitation order.
He was also ordered to pay £85 in costs.

Q: Which attribute in Scipy version 1.6.1 is compatible with the scipy.misc.toimage by scipy version 1.0.0? Once I use scipy.misc.toimage with scipy version 1.6.1, it always error with AttributeError: module 'scipy.misc' has no attribute 'toimage'
Regarding the documentation, the attribute like toimage would be used for scipy.misc just only version 1.0.0 until before version 1.2.0
Source: https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-1.2.1/reference/misc.html
Currently, I use python 3.8 and may I know which attribute in scipy version 1.6.1 have the same functional as scipy.misc.toimage from scipy version 1.0.0?

A: The linked documentation, section toimage states it explicitly:

Use Pillow's Image.fromarray directly instead.

Install the Pillow package (if not installed already), then use e.g.
from PIL import Image
Image.fromarray(data)

(where data is a NumPy array.)

Q: Crawlera, cookies, sessions, rate limiting I'm trying to use scrapinghub to crawl a website that heavily limits request rate.
If I run the spider as-is, I get 429 pretty soon.
If I enable crawlera as per standard instructions, the spider doesn't work anymore.
If I set headers = {"X-Crawlera-Cookies": "disable"} the spider works again, but I get 429s -- so I assume the limiter works (also) on the cookie.
So what would an approach be here?

A: You can try RandomUserAgent, If you don't want to write your own implementation, you can try use this:

I'm going to keep this short and sweet because it's unlikely anyone is really going to take the time to read this today. But, in keeping with Christmas tradition, I couldn't leave you without any gifts. I'm very generous, I know.
Since the likelihood of a white Christmas here in Charleston is worse than, well, a snowball's chance in hell, I thought I would make my own snowballs. My dad used to bring us back those pink Hostess Snoballs every time he came back from a trip. I could barely stomach the things, so I would dutifully swallow them whole, trying to taste as little of those super sweet pink puffs as I could.
Instead, I offer you this ice cream. It's sweet, but not too sweet. It's smooth and creamy and will help you wash down that extra slice of pie (or would be excellent topped with the Bailey's that's been knocking around in your liquor cabinet for years).
To make the ice cream: In a large bowl, whisk together all ingredients. Pour into an ice cream maker and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions. Once hardened, transfer to a loaf pan or tupperware container and freeze until ready to eat.
To make pistachio crumble: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together pistachios and coconut flour. In a small bowl, whisk together coconut oil and maple syrup. Pour over dry ingredients. Using your fingers, mix together until crumble comes together in pea-sized balls. Pour onto baking pan and bake for 7-10 minutes, until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely. Scatter over ice cream.

Der Audebodamm (dänisch Audebodæmningen) ist ein Damm in der dänischen Gemeinde Odsherred.

Er befindet sich auf der Ostseite der zur Insel Seeland gehörenden Halbinsel Odsherred. Er führt durch den zum Isefjord gehörenden Lammefjord. Der flache, sich aber bis tief in das Landesinnere ziehende Lammefjord wurde durch den Damm in seinem westlichen Teil trockengelegt.

Der Damm hat eine Länge von 2,2 Kilometer und erstreckt sich von Audebo in nordwestlicher Richtung nach Gundestrup. In der Mitte des Damms befindet sich ein Relief, welches verschiedene Phasen der Trockenlegung des Lammefjords darstellt. Die Dammkrone erhebt sich etwa 3,50 Meter über den Meeresspiegel. Die westlich gelegenen entwässerten Landflächen liegen bis zu 7,0 Meter unter dem Meeresspiegel. Landseitig führt am Fuße des Damms die Landstraße 21 entlang.

Der Bau des Damms begann im Jahr 1873 und dauerte etwa zwei Jahre. Nachdem im Jahr 1921 während eines Sturms eine Überspülung des Damms befürchtet werden musste, erfolgte eine Verstärkung.

Education ∕ ... Diamond Education ∕ Carat Weight
What is a Diamond Carat?
The term carat is often misunderstood. It refers to a diamond's weight, not its size. When comparing diamonds with different carat weights, consider the cut as well. A high carat weight diamond with a poor cut may look smaller than a diamond with a smaller carat weight and a very good cut.
Diamond Carat Price
Carat has the biggest impact on price largely because of social tropes, marketing, and pop culture. And although carat does play a factor in the cost of a stone, a diamond's cut is arguably most important when it comes to price. That's why it's a smart idea to read our experts' tips to help you choose the best diamond carat weight for you.
The Brief History of Diamond Carat
The term carat comes from the ancient method of weighing precious metal and stones against the seeds of the carob tree—which were considered to be even in weight. It wasn't until 1907, at the Fourth General Conference on Weights and Measures, when it was agreed upon that one diamond carat would be equal to 200 mg, or .2 grams, of a diamond. Carats can also be measured in points; 100 points equals a full carat.
4 Things to Know About Carat
"Buy shy" to save money. Select a carat weight slightly below the whole and half-carat marks. For example, instead of a 2.00 carat diamond, consider buying a 1.90 carat weight. This will save a considerable amount of money, and the slight difference will never be noticed.
Splurge on cut This is the most important factor because it maximizes sparkle. A high-quality, high-carat diamond with a low-quality cut can appear dull and lifeless.
Fancy shapes cost less per carat. The most important thing to realise about fancy-shaped diamonds is that they are generally less expensive than an equivalent round diamond. Additionally, fancy shapes can appear larger than their actual diamond carat weight size, especially when placed in a halo setting.
Keep ring size in mind. The smaller the finger, the larger the diamond will appear. A 1.50 carat diamond solitaire looks much larger on a size 4 finger than a size 8.
Carat Has the Biggest Effect on Price
You can thank movies, mass media, and advertising for the emphasis that people put on carat in relation to diamond quality. Carat weight has become an indication of a person's status and wealth, but when it comes to diamonds, bigger is definitely not always better. Instead, focus on a balance of the 4Cs: cut, clarity, colour, and carat to make a smart purchase.
Diamond Carat Size Chart
This chart illustrates differences in diamond size based on carat weight and how diamonds of different carat weights and shapes will appear when viewed from the top down. Your diamond measurements may differ from the chart in length/width ratio, table, and depth.
A Few Additional Carat Tips Before You Buy a Diamond
Certain settings can make a diamond appear larger. A very popular setting to achieve this effect is the halo. This setting has a ring of small diamonds around the centre stone. The ratio of the small to large diamonds skews the perspective in your favour, making the centre diamond seem larger.
Band size affects the look of a diamond's carat. Selecting a thin band creates a perspective that makes the centre stone appear larger. A popular band to achieve this is the pavé, which features small diamonds embedded in the band.
Understand total carat weight (CTW). Total carat weight is the measurement of all the diamonds in any given piece combined. So, be sure to inquire about the weights of the individual diamonds in any piece that you are buying.

Facebook Beefs Up Safety Center, But No Panic Button
Mathew Ingram Apr 13, 2010 - 4:00 PM CDT
Facebook said today that it's upgraded its Safety Center — which contains advice for parents, young people, teachers, law enforcement and other groups about how to use Facebook responsibly and safely — based on suggestions from its Safety Advisory Board. But the site stopped short of adding a so-called "panic button" to its pages that would take users younger users directly to a page of safety information, which is something critics and advocacy groups in Britain have repeatedly requested, most recently in a meeting between Facebook representatives and the head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre.
British groups want a button that would take younger users to a page with information about how to respond to various behavior such as cyberbullying and sexually suggestive material or otherwise inappropriate content. Chief constables from England and Wales, including the head of Scotland Yard, have signed a letter supporting the panic button. The campaign gained steam following the death of a 17-year-old female student last October: Ashleigh Hall was raped and murdered by a man she met on Facebook, who is now in prison. It's not clear, however, what use a panic button would have been in the girl's case, or how it would have stopped her from meeting the man.
The Facebook blog post describes how the site has changed its Safety Center:
It offers new safety resources for parents, educators, teens and members of the law enforcement community. We've quadrupled the safety content available, and we've created cleaner, more navigable interfaces to help you find answers to safety questions fast. This portal — which we've been testing during the past few weeks — draws multimedia content from Facebook and from independent organizations specializing in safety and security online.
The site's Safety Advisory Board consists of representatives from several organizations in the U.S. and Europe, who describe themselves as follows:
* Childnet International: a UK-based charity working domestically and internationally to help make the Internet a great and safe place for children and young people, alongside enabling them to use interactive technologies safely and responsibly.
* Common Sense Media: an independent non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing trustworthy information and education that kids and families need to thrive in a world of media and technology.
* Connect Safely: the leading interactive resource on the web for parents, teens, educators — everyone — engaged and interested in youth safety on the fixed and mobile social web.
* The Family Online Safety Institute: works to make the online world safer for kids and their families by identifying and promoting best practice, tools and methods in the field of online safety, that also respect free expression.
* WiredSafety: the largest online safety, education and help group program in the world and provides help, information and education to Internet and mobile device users of all ages, especially on cyberbullying matters.

Yesterday was pretty average for us.
A pretty respectable strike rate and no real surprises.
The two stand outs were the 18:00 at Southwell where our top rated horse, Contingency Fee, won at 11/2. Our second rated horse duly came second and the Forecast paid 48.37 to a £1 stake.
And in the 18:45 at Dundalk we got the first three in the right order. The Trifecta paid £17:20 to a £1 stake.
The new R6 Plus ratings had a similar day ending up with a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.27% and returning 20.735 points to the 22 points staked.
Anyway, let's get on and take a quick look at yesterday's results in more detail....
Yesterday's - Link to Follow - results for All Races (including previously unrated races), show a strike rate (for our top rated horse) of 27.27% from all 33 Races (including previously unrated races.)
The Overall Profit Index. If you had blindly backed every top three rated horse in all of the races you would have had 68.08 units returned to 90 units staked. The Overall Profit Index was, thus, -24.36%
Top Rated Horse - There were 8 winners from the top rated horses from 31 Races. If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 29.25 units returned to 31 units staked. The Top Rated Profit Index was, thus, -5.65%
2nd Rated Horse - There were 3 winners from the second rated horses from 29 Races. If you had blindly backed the 2nd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 19.33 units returned to 29 units staked. The 2nd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -33.34%
3rd Rated Horse - There were 4 winners from the third rated horses from 30 Races. If you had blindly backed the 3rd rated horse in all of the races you would have had 19.5 units returned to 30 units staked. The 3rd Rated Profit Index was, thus, -35%
Non Handicap Races - Top Rated Horse - There were 10 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 5 Top Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for Top Rated Horses) was 50%
Top Rated Horse - If you had blindly backed the top rated horse in all of the races you would have had 13.75 units returned to 10 units staked. The Top Rated Non-Handicap Profit Index was, thus, 37.5%
Non Handicap Races - Top Three Rated Horses - There were 10 non-handicap races yesterday. From these races there were 7 Top Three Rated winners. Thus, the Strike Rate (for the Top Three Rated Horses) was 70%
Two Pieces of Meat
A man walks into a bar, he sees two pieces of meat hanging from the ceiling. He asks the barman, "Why are those two pieces of meat hanging from the ceiling?"
The barman replies, "It's a competition which we run every night. If you can jump up and touch the meat, you get free drinks for the whole night."
"Great!" says the man, "but what if I can't reach them?"
"Then you have to buy all the drinks for everyone all night," the barman answers.
"Do you want to try?"
"No, but thanks anyway."
"Why not?", asks the barman.
"The steaks are too high."
Today's early test ratings show 33 rated races from five meetings.
