5 Second look at Kissing Tolstoy by Penny Reid
A Quick Summary
- Anna I. Harris is a college student who likes to read. With one year left of school and the summer to go, she takes a Russian Lit class for fun.
- There she meets the guy that she kinda ran out of a date one a few months ago. He teaches the class. What do they do? Deal with it…. or try at least.
- The attraction is overwhelming for both of them… it's going to be a long summer course.
My Take on the Book :
The single most hilarious book that I've read this year. 29 things highlighted in this book. Donkey laughs abound.
Kissing Tolstoy Blurb
What do you do when you discover that your super-hot blind date from months ago is now your super-hot Russian Lit professor?
You overthink everything and pray for a swift end to your misery, of course!
'Kissing Tolstoy' is the first book in the Dear Professor series, is 46k words, and can be read as a standalone. A shorter version of this story (28k words) was entitled 'Nobody Looks Good in Leather Pants' and was available via Penny Reid's newsletter for free over the course of 2017.
My Review of Kissing Tolstoy by Penny Reid
Anna Harris is a college student with a love of reading and romance. She is hilarious and self assured on the outside. She is kinda geeky and funny.
You've always been passionate about books. You read more—for fun—than anyone else I've met. Plus, your opinions are often radical, but never boring. You're creative and odd. And smart. And fun. And awesome. Maybe he's got the hots for your brain.
Luca Kroft was a fantastic teacher. The son of a Russian businessman who has more reach than Luca likes. He has tried his entire life get out from under his father's influence. He devoted himself to Russian literature and writing. Hoping to get free of his father and out on his own.
Luca Kroft was a fantastic teacher. Like, the best I've ever had. He engaged his students rather than talked at them. He forced them to become a part of the narrative, grow invested in Tolstoy and Gogol. He challenged them to confront their ideas about life, nature, morality, and—yes—even the human soul.
In a freak moment of bravery or bravado Anna emails a friend of a friend to set up a date on Valentine's day, a year after her last date.
In other words, my ex was the John Willoughby to my Marianne Dashwood, if John Willoughby had quoted Pokémon and anime instead of Shakespearean sonnets. And Marianne had liked him mostly for his skills as a trivia night partner and cheerful acceptance of her jigsaw puzzle habit.
She goes to the restaurant where she was going meet him and meets a in leather pants and blue eyes. He sits, and starts to get to know her, but admits that he isn't the guy that she thought he was. Anna bolts and leaves as quickly as she could only to watch him leave on his motorcycle from her car.
These are truths universally acknowledged. Men who ride motorcycles, who wear leather like a second skin, and look hot doing it, they don't date ladies who idolize Tolstoy.
Two months later, Anna is starting her summer sessions and finds out that the guy that she had the hots for is PROFESSOR Kroft.
Professor Kroft promises his student that she will be treated like any other student but that's not really the case. He completely ignores her for months. Everyone else gets comments, advice, knowledge from him in class and on their papers, except Anna.
"Being perpetually ignored and then rejected by a person I admired made me want to cry into a big pillow and listen to The Cure while watching Old Yeller and reading the world statistics about the Zika virus."
Anna tries to drop the class, even going so far as to take an F for the class, but Luca won't have it. He tracks her down, emails her, even comes to her second job to talk to her. They eventually come to a fragile understanding. Luca is biding his time until Anna is no longer his student so that he can pursue her. He even goes so far as to ask the dean for an unbiased third party to grade her work.
My life split in two: before and after; the possibility of she, of hope and wonder; and then everything else.
Luca and Anna are amazing together. The banter is great and witty and wonderful. Some of Anna's observations about the books are wonderful too. (Like I said I have 29 highlighted passages in this book). I love how Anna helps Luca see the world in a different way and helps him come to an understanding with his family and his place in life.
This book is hilarious and YOU NEED IT.

A study to determine the seroprevalence of Dirofilaria immitis was carried out in feral cats in Grenada. Of the 137 feral cats tested for circulating antibodies (IgG; lateral-flow immunoassay) and circulating antigens (Ag; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), 8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 3.5–12.5%) were antibody positive and 5.1% (95% CI 1.4–8.8%) were antigen positive. No significant difference between cats aged>1 to 4 years and cats less than 1 year of age was found (P>0.05, χ2). There was also no significant difference (P>0.05, χ2) between male and female cats. Dirofilaria immitis prevalence is relatively high in the feral cat population of Grenada. Evidence of D. immitis infection in feral cats coupled with the endemic nature of heartworm disease in dogs in Grenada leads us to suggest the introduction of heartworm prophylaxis in cats. To the authors' knowledge, this serological evidence of heartworm infection in feral cats in Grenada is the first report from the Caribbean region.

today I wanna introduce to you another of the fascinating Baedeker Smart travel guides - New York*:
Baedeker Smart New York* - €15.95
I've been the last time in NYC (which was my 2nd time in one of my fav' cities on earth!:)) back in 2014, which is now 5 years ago.... still I couldn't forget how bright, rich in culture and timeless this breathtaking place is!
I can only recommend to walk down the blocks (which can be quite long and exhausting!) instead of the tube/metro or a taxi! Your feet might start to hurt over few days of walking through the centre of NYC (Manhattan incl. Central Park and a part of Brooklyn) but so you will see hidden corners and places like a real New Yorker! But of course to see the whole Brooklyn district, Queens and Coney Island as well as Ellis Island, Jersey and Statue of Liberty you might need to take the tube or ferry!
The Baedeker Smart travel guide* for New York comes as well with many handy restaurant, accommodation and shopping advices as well as the historical part in front, which I personally find really interesting for places I've never been before, to read an all in one travel guide instead of googling for hours to get the most informations about the selected travel destination!
One of my fav' places in town is near the Central Park and Times Square - the Columbus Circle, located on the 8th Ave an heavily trafficked but still calm circle in the middle of the centre! I absolutely enjoyed taking my lunch on one of the benches or make a short rest while walking for hours within the city!
Central Park is HUGE! Most of us, who travel first time don't believe that u actually need a day just to walk around the whole park area! It's the main natural ground in the whole city! The "Green Lung" of the town and on many places you can find buildings, laterns and benches from the Victorian era - magical and definitely worth to visit....at least a part! - near the Columus Circle and new the legendary Hotel Plaza (visible on the picture above:)!).
The travel guide for New York* includes also on the last page a foldable map incl. this tube / center map, for walks through the town, to not get lost....tho there's a subway (tube) on every corner and you can always ask in shops, if you're not sure where exactly you are! New Yorkers are friendly, busy but willing to help - I in fact felt like in Europe, so this is probably the only city in the whole country, where you don't feel like in America....except in those traditional diners, fast food chains with ultimately oversized portions or stores....but otherwise it's pretty cosmopolitan flair all around!
Another wise advice is to check and book in advance a ticket to a concert at the legendary Madison Square Garden - for those who plan a trip to NYC during summer I can recommend the Madison Square Park, where many artists including Tom Odell already performed and it's cheaper!
The real Radio City Music Hall / The statue of George M. Cohan on Times Square
The food including sweets might not be the healthiest one, but their packaging and taste is incredible!:)
Oh dear I once had really long hair, and haven't had a clue, that I would soon move so many times including traveling..... well Times Square is my hotspot during early morning (6am) when there is almost no one around, just the street cleaning crew and few other workers....you will feel almost tiny beside all those bright shiny advertisements all around you and the big square:)!
Nothing starts without coffee....NYC is fast, the days are full and the locals rush from work to home - without a quick stop in one of the local independent traditional coffee houses you can't start or end up the day!
Greenwich Village/ West Village are my fav' corners to walk in Manhattan - it's more green and family / local orientated not much commercial going around, it's an expensive corner to live tho (even Sarah Jessica Parker lives or lived here!) but absolutely worth to visit and scroll around those beautiful blocks!
Go definitely and visit Dylan's Candy Bar, if the sweet tooth craves you and you just need an extra portion of sugar!:) Founded by Dylan Lauren, the daughter of fashion designer Ralph Lauren (which is also one of the main fav' designer brands....which I always try to find at TK Maxx or in Vintage shops, as I can't afford to buy it original brand-new prices:)) and appeared already in films/shows like: Arthur, Gossip Girl or Project Runway!
If you crave for a bit of Vitamin Sea, like I usually do after spending few days in the city - go to subway and take a trip to Coney Island:
Nathan's Hot Dogs are classic, as well as the whole beach-/boardwalk, Coney Island Cyclone, Wonder Wheel and Parachute Jump !
It's one of the parts of NYC, where you feel like back in the 50s/40s - the pier walk is quite new (after 2012 hurricane Sandy, which has destroyed even the board walk!).
I can just recommend to visit NYC & for your first trip to this breathtaking city you should definitely check out the Baedeker Smart travel guide* for New York - includes wise advices, addresses and beautifully selected pictures of Big Apple!

#723 Versioning of Haystack Tags
Jiri Vass Wed 24 Jul
Dear All,
this file (https://project-haystack.org/download/tags.csv) contains the official 230 Haystack tags. Is it possible to determine the time (or version of Haystack/SkySpark) when a particular tag has been introduced? No need for very detailed information, perhaps some grouping of tags into batches (as they have been introduced over time) would do.
We have a mixture of historical SkySpark projects with varying sets of tags - depending on the time when a particular project was created. The time/version of each tag would help us to consolidate these projects.
Regards, Jiri
Brian Frank Wed 24 Jul
That is documented in the ChangeLog.
Probably once 4.0 is released we'll do something more formal too - maybe something like a JavaDoc
@since tag.
Jiri Vass Wed 24 Jul
Excellent - thank you very much. Jiri

As Abe Lincoln said "If I could not laugh, I think I would cry". I am starting to develop my "art eye" to try to put the observations on paper. It is a hard thing to kick start, and thank you for noticing.

Subverting Autocracy: Emancipative Mass Values in Competitive Authoritarian Regimes
Competitive elections in authoritarian regimes are inherently ambiguous: do they extend regime persistence or, vice versa, operate as subversive events? This article tests Inglehart and Welzel's "emancipatory theory of democracy", which has not been tested for competitive elections in autocracies: when emancipative values grow strong, autocratic power appears increasingly illegitimate in people's eyes, which motivates subversive mass actions against authoritarian rule. For electoral outcomes this suggestion implies, first, that authoritarian incumbents are more likely to suffer electoral defeat when emancipative values have become more widespread. Second, post-electoral protest against fraudulent elections is more likely when emancipative values have become more widespread. To test these hypotheses, we analyse 152 elections among 33 electoral authoritarian regimes over 21 years from 1990–2011. We find that emancipative values are indeed strongly conducive to incumbent defeat while their effect on post-electoral protest is conditional: it only occurs in elections won by the incumbent. These findings intertwine two separately developed literatures: one on authoritarian regime subversion and the other on emancipatory cultural change.
The article is dedicated to analysis and comparison of arrangement and socio-political function of democratic and republican parties of the USA. The main stress is made on ideological vectors of both parties and also on the role of geographical position and interests of the USA population which influence forming of the political platforms of the parties. The main goal of the article is to demonstrate the growth of polarization of American society closely associated with the growth of parties' emphasis on target audience and differences in financial policy.
This work looks at a model of spatial election competition with two candidates who can spend effort in order to increase their popularity through advertisement. It is shown that under certain condition the political programs of the candidates will be different. The work derives the comparative statics of equilibrium policy platform and campaign spending with respect the distribution of voter policy preferences and the proportionality of the electoral system. In particular, it is whown that the equilibrium does not exist if the policy preferences are distributed over too narrow an interval.
This paper is devoted to the explanation of selected bureaus' behavior patterns in the soviet type of totalitarian dictatorships with the command economic model. It is a proven fact that the plan figures in the soviet economy were fabricated as a consequence of intrigues and secret negotiations between different interested parties. Generally, bureaus, as rational agents that minimize risk and maximize slack, should have been interested in reducing the plan figures, nevertheless, they strived to increase them. As examples, mass repression under dictatorships and overexpenditure of an administrative leverage at elections in non-democratic and quasi-democratic countries can be observed. In the article we develop a simple model of coordination between principal (dictator) and his agents (bureaus), which explain the mentioned paradoxical situation.
With the ubiquitous nature of modern technologies, they have been inevitably integrated into various facets of society. The connectivity presented by digital platforms has transformed such innovations into tools for political and social agendas.
Politics, Protest, and Empowerment in Digital Spaces is a comprehensive reference source for emerging scholarly perspectives on the use of new media technology to engage people in socially- and politically-oriented conversations and examines communication trends in these virtual environments. Highlighting relevant coverage across topics such as online free expression, political campaigning, and online blogging, this book is ideally designed for government officials, researchers, academics, graduate students, and practitioners interested in how new media is revolutionizing political and social communications.
In this article the author attempts to explain the events occurring in the country taking into account the specificity of the Ukrainian political culture. From the point of view of the author, a key player in the Ukrainian revolution in 2014 was the Ukrainian society itself, and any attempt to comment the situation of modern Ukraine, first of all, should take into account civil conditions of the society itself. Qualitative state of civil society in Ukraine outrun the quality of the ruling elite, which inevitably provokes new confrontations and conflicts.
In the article are : the social bases of power as a nation, the nation, the elite, the elemental forces of the political market. It is noted that the idealistic view on social grounds authorities do not correspond to modern realities. Long enough described expenses provisions on the management Board of the nation. It is proposed to consider the rationalist approach in the determination of the constitutions of the social bases of power. The examples of the constitutions of a number of foreign States, in which the provisions of popular sovereignty is not understood completely. Russia proposes changing approaches to understanding the essence of popular sovereignty and representative government.
This article is talking about state management and cultural policy, their nature and content in term of the new tendency - development of postindustrial society. It mentioned here, that at the moment cultural policy is the base of regional political activity and that regions can get strong competitive advantage if they are able to implement cultural policy successfully. All these trends can produce elements of new economic development.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y — When Matthew Slater scores as many touchdowns as your offense, you know there's a problem.
On Sunday, the Buffalo Bills' defense made life miserable for Tom Brady, swarming his targets with reckless abandon. It's a good thing that the Patriots have an elite defense and special-teams unit.
Instead of names like Brady and Julian Edelman leading the way, the Patriots leaned on players like Matthew Slater (special teams touchdown), J.C. Jackson (2 interceptions, blocked punt) and Kyle Van Noy (2 sacks, 2 forced fumbles). Thanks to these extra efforts, the Patriots improved to 4-0 following their 16-10 win over the Bills.
This served as the Patriots' first real test of 2019.
"You saw it today. This was a knock-down, drag-out," Slater said. "They didn't want to quit. We didn't want to quit. We needed every play that we could possibly make. Every snap was critical … this is a good character win for our football team."
Brady finished 18 of 39 for 150 yards and an interception. It wasn't pretty, but the Patriots prevailed.
With both teams off to a 3-0 start, Bills fans were fired up at the start of this game. The Patriots did their best to quiet the home crowd. Brady and the offense struck first, jumping to a 6-0 lead at 7:35 of the first quarter on a Brandon Bolden 4-yard rush.
At that point, the defense already made its mark. The offense started at midfield thanks to an interception by Devin McCourty, his fourth in as many games. It set a tone that lasted for four quarters. Bills quarterback Josh Allen was intercepted three times before coming out with a head injury. His backup, Matt Barkley, was intercepted once. The defense also finished with five sacks.
"(Allen) didn't know what we were doing," Van Noy said. "He was shook back there."
The Patriots' special team unit also got into the action early. At 6:30 of the first quarter, J.C. Jackson blocked a Corey Bojorquez punt. Slater recovered the ball and ran 11 yards untouched into the end zone, and the Patriots led, 13-0.
The first three Bills drives ended with an interception, blocked punt and a Jamie Collins sack on third down. The Patriots' defense didn't let up. The Bills' fourth drive ended with Jackson intercepting Allen with 14 seconds left in the first quarter.
"We're a team," Duron Harmon said. "The offense is going to have some better days than we have on Sundays. And vice versa. All we can do is pick each other up, hold each other accountable, play for each other and play hard. If we do that, ... we'll find a way to win."
To make Brady's day worse, he was intercepted in the end zone while throwing from the 2-yard line with 4:16 left in the second quarter.
That turnover gave the Bills some life. On the next series, Frank Gore took a handoff 41 yards to get Buffalo in the red zone. The Patriots' defense clamped down after with Van Noy sacking Allen on third down. Stephen Hauschka finished the drive with a 46-yard field goal, and the Pats led, 13-3, with two minutes left in the first half.
"Both defenses played really well," Brady said. "Our defense just did a great job in the end. We have to get back to work."
Buffalo opened the second half by scoring a touchdown to close the gap to 13-10 as Allen rushed in for a 1-yard touchdown on fourth-and-1 at 10:40 of the third. This marked the first touchdown against the Patriots' defense this season.
The Patriots' offense started the second half with two three-and-outs. It was a good thing the defense continued to make plays. At 4:06 of third, Jackson intercepted Allen for the second time.
The Pats' only offense in the second half was a Gostkowski 23-yard field goal with 1:00 left in the third.
On the next series, Allen was taken out of the game after a hit to the helmet by Jonathan Jones. That didn't slow down Buffalo as they were set up with a first-and-goal in that drive.
The Patriots' defense, however, did it again. After Adam Butler stuffed Gore near the goal line, Buffalo went for it on fourth down from the 3. Patrick Chung nearly intercepted Barkley as the pass was incomplete and became a turnover on downs.
The Bills made one last charge, but the defense held strong. With 1:34 remaining, Van Noy hit Barkley as he threw the ball. That resulted in an easy interception for Collins to seal the win.
"It always takes 11 of us," Van Noy said. "Today was another testament to the guys that we have. (We're) just playing elite football right now."

I could quite happily do this part time on a regular basis to fill in some of my spare time. Dutch Harrow to knock over mole hills and aerate the hay fields. I would love an old tractor to fiddle with. Relatively modern ones like this are incredibly easy to drive. The Land Rover felt very heavy when I got back in it tonight. 18 speed gearbox with shuttle forwards/reverse. Not as complicated as it sounds. I spent most of the day in high range second splitting that gear as needed. Doing the same same sort of stuff on Friday.

A(k, p)-anonymity Framework to Sanitize Transactional Database with Personalized Sensitivity
In recent years, analyzing transactional data has become an important data analytic task since it can discover important information in several domains, for recommendation, prediction, and personalization. Nonetheless, transactional data sometimes contains sensitive and confidential information such as personal identifiers, information aboutsexual orientations, medical diseases, and religious beliefs. Such information can be analyzed using various data mining algorithms, which may cause security threats to individuals. Several algorithms were proposed to hide sensitive information in databases but most of them assume that sensitive information is the same for all users, which is an unrealistic assumption. Hence, this paper presents a (k, p)-anonymity framework to hide personal sensitive information. The developed ANonymity for Transactional database (ANT) algorithm can hide multiple pieces of sensitive information in transactions. Besides, it let users assign sensitivity values to indicate how sensitive each piece of information is. The designed anonymity algorithm ensures that the percentage of anonymized data does not exceed a predefined maximum sensitivity threshold. Results of several experiments indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the-state-of-the-art PTA and Gray-TSP algorithms in terms of information loss and runtime.

The Interlude of the Student and the Girl
The Interlude of the Student and the Girl (Latin: Interludium de clerico et puella) is one of the earliest known secular plays in English, first performed c. 1300.[1] The text is written in vernacular English, in an East Midlands dialect that suggests either Lincoln or Beverley as its origin, although its title is given in Latin.[2] The name of its playwright is unknown.[2] Only two scenes, with a total of 84 lines of verse in rhyming couplets, are extant and survive in a manuscript held by the British Museum, dated to either the late twelfth or very early thirteenth century.[3] Glynne Wickham provides both the original text and a rendering in modern English in his English Moral Interludes (1976).[4] In tone and form, the interlude seems to be the closest play in English to the contemporaneous French farces, such as The Boy and the Blind Man, and is related to later English farcical plays, such as the anonymous Calisto and Melibea (published c. 1525) and John Heywood's The Foure PP (c. 1530).[5] It was most likely performed by itinerant players, possibly making use of a performing dog.[6] In Early English Stages (1981), Wickham points to the existence of this play as evidence that the old-fashioned view that comedy began in England with Gammer Gurton's Needle and Ralph Roister Doister in the 1550s is mistaken, ignoring as it does a rich tradition of medieval comic drama.[7] He argues that the play's "command of dramatic action and of comic mood and method is so deft as to make it well-nigh unbelievable" that it was the first of its kind in England.[8]
A student tries to woo a girl called Molly. Having confirmed that neither her father nor mother are at home, he declares his love for her: "I love you more than my life", he insists.[9] She rejects him, complaining of the deceitfulness of students: "For many a good woman have they brought to shame!"[10] He seeks the help of an old woman, Mother Eloise. He laments that he would rather die than live without Molly. He offers the old woman substantial financial rewards if she would agree to act as his go-between and reconcile him with the girl. The old woman becomes defensive and insists that whoever advised him to seek out her assistance has lied, for she is a god-fearing woman who would never involve herself in such matters.

Wandering around Torquay with camera in hand, I discovered Eve's Tattoo parlour. Eve was very proud to shown me her first tattoo gun so I just had to make a portrait.
I suppose it is quite brave to ask a stranger to sit for a portrait and it is most certainly brave to allow someone to make your portrait on a sweltering hot day sans makeup. But there is a magic in that trust; conveyed in the sparkle of the eyes of the sitter when it all comes together.
So be brave and seek out the magic.

Today you will be caught by an unfathomable melancholy. You tend to these periods of sadness that affect your relationship with the person you love the most.
The memory of an old love makes you suspect that you could be happier with that person by your side.
Refuge yourself at work, in your friends... In your family. They will notice that you will be in low vibrations. They will treat you well, they want to encourage you as soon as possible.
But this is a job you should do alone. You will understand that in life everything is change. Someone who won't fail you will soon be by your side.
Let this part of you that is always feeling sorry die! You will regenerate, rising from the ashes, because the stars gave you that gift of birth. Thus you make room for all the good things to come, Scorpio.
Instead of avoiding disasters in advance, you appeal to the miracle once the thing has no remedy; oh, Scorpio...
You have to be more preventative. Your capacity for improvisation is amazing, superior souls like yours are capable of such a virtue, Scorpio.
If only you had been more attentive to events... But it seems that you have your head somewhere else and you aren't focusing on what you should.
It's normal that you let go of the reins from time to time. Take a rest. Tomorrow you will try it again with more energy.
Donating blood for humanity is something that is very good. Go ahead, Scorpio. Even if it doesn't motivate you too much to move, make that little effort, please.
Visits to hospitals or mobile units where they are going to extract your blood usually plunge you into a state of uneasiness. Don't be afraid of pain, it's natural for the human condition. However, it is necessary.
Ask someone to go with you, if you see that it's hard for you to take the step of going on your own. It's okay if the almighty Scorpio feels vulnerable from time to time...

Summer is finally here! Days at the beach, hot weather and a garden that is beginning to give us the fruits of its labor.
I don't have enough space to plant much of a "garden" at our home in the Hamptons….herbs are just about all I can do (besides, we have such amazing organic farmers in the area how can I compete?) When we were here in May I planted some basil in pots because the tomatoes that come from the local growers are unbelivable and you can buy fresh mozzerella in just about any store you drive by. When we arrived here last week, the end of June, my basil was going to seed and was looking a little limp and leggy. Howie was determined to clean up the garden and pulled my basil plants out of their pots and put it in the trash bucket! I went into the kitchen and got a bowl and sat there and pulled all the limp leaves off to see if I could save them for a batch of delicious pesto. I washed the leaves and wrapped them in paper towels and put them in the refrigerator overnight. Today when I checked on them, they were plump and ready to become pesto for our dinner.
The last time we were in Italy I remember the amazing pasta dishes that we had and the ones that stand out in my mind the most are those that were made with pesto. It is such a simple sauce. The real secret is not only the fresh basil, but the right combination of garlic and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Sometimes when you purchase pesto in the grocery store, it can be very oily and doesn't really have a very fresh taste. Pesto is so easy to make, even if you don't grow your own basil, why compromise if you want the real deal and you can buy the fresh basil in your grocery store?
My pesto sauce takes about 10 minutes to make. Most of what you need is in your pantry or refrigerator. The key, I believe, to a good pesto is that you need a good olive oil, shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano, not a ground version, and don't go too heavy on the garlic. Using the shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano gives the pesto a more prominent flavor in the end product and, therefore, doesn't require anymore to be added to the dish. In my dinner tonight, I added grilled shrimp to make it a complete meal – just toss the shrimp with some olive oil, salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper and put them on the grill for a few minutes until they are golden and delicious. I served my pesto with linguine and the grilled shrimp with a simple side of sliced fresh heirloom tomatoes and farm stand onions dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Bellissimo!
Pesto with Grilled Shrimp and Linguine
3 cups fresh basil leaves (packed)
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
4 tablespoons pine nuts or walnuts, toasted
2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the basil, salt, and pepper and process for a few seconds until the basil is chopped. Add the cheese, pine nuts, and garlic and, while the processor is running, add the oil in a thin, steady stream until a mostly smooth sauce is formed. Transfer pesto to a bowl and set aside. (Note: Pesto may be made 1 day in advance and kept, refrigerated, in an airtight container, until ready to use. If making in advance, be sure to cover the top of the pesto with a thin layer of olive oil to prevent the pesto from darkening. Pesto may also be frozen in the same manner in small quantities for use at a later date.) Grill 1 lb. of large shrimp tossed with olive oil, salt, pepper and a dash of cayenne pepper and set aside.
Boil 4 servings of linguine (either fresh or dried) according to the package instructions. Drain and add 4 to 5 heaping tablespoons of pesto sauce and toss to combine. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve in pasta bowls and add grilled shrimp and enjoy!

The Bantu is a name given to a group of around 600 ethnic groups who speak the Bantu language. These groups can be found in Central, Eastern and Southern Africa. This book, published in 1933 contains stories relating to them, as well as their beliefs.

Who are the Bantu?
BANTU is now the generally accepted name for those natives of South Africa (the great majority) who are neither Hottentots nor Bushmen-that is to say, mainly, the Zulus, Xosas (Kafirs), Basuto, and Bechuana -to whom may be added the Thongas (Shangaans) of the Delagoa Bay region and the people of Southern Rhodesia, commonly, though incorrectly, called Mashona.
Abantu is the Zulu word for 'people' (in Sesuto batho, and in Herero ovandu) which was adopted by Bleek, at the suggestion of Sir George Grey, as the name for the great family of languages now known to cover practically the whole southern half of Africa. It had already been ascertained, by more than one scholar, that there was a remarkable resemblance between the speech of these South African peoples and that of the Congo natives on the one hand and of the Mozambique natives on the other. It was left for Bleek-who spent the last twenty years of his life at the Cape-to study these languages from a scientific point of view and systematize what was already known about them. His Comparative Grammar of South African Languages, though left unfinished when he died, in 1875, is the foundation of all later work done in this subject.
The Bantu languages possess a remarkable degree of uniformity. They may differ considerably in vocabulary, and to a certain extent in pronunciation, but their grammatical structure is, in its main outlines, everywhere the same. But to speak of a 'Bantu race' is misleading. The Bantu-speaking peoples vary greatly in physical type: some of them hardly differ from some of the 'Sudanic'-speaking Negroes of West Africa (who, again, are by no means all of one pattern), while others show a type which has been accounted for by a probable 'Hamitic' invasion from the north.
But on questions connected with 'race' and racial characteristics ethnologists themselves are by no means agreed, and in any case we need not discuss them in this book. The Bantu-speaking peoples, then, include such widely separated tribes as the Duala, adjoining the Gulf of Cameroons, in the north-west; the Pokomo of the Tana valley, in the north-east; the Zulus in the south-east; and the Hereros in the south-west. Some are tall and strongly built, like the Zulus; some as tall or taller, but more slender, though equally well formed, like the Basuto-or even over-tall and too thin for their height, like the Hereros; others short and sturdy, like the Pokomo canoe-men, or small, active, and wiry, like some of the Anyanja. They vary greatly in colour, from a very dark brown (none, I think, are quite black) to different shades of bronze or copper. Colour may not be uniform within the same tribe: the Zulus themselves, for instance, distinguish between ' black'-that is, dark brown-and ' red '-or lighter brown-Zulus.
It does not seem likely, then, that all these various tribes ever formed parts of one family, as their languages may be said to do. But it may be assumed that a considerable body, speaking the same language, set out (perhaps two or three thousand years ago) from somewhere in the region of the Great Lakes towards the south and east. Whether they came into Africa across the Isthmus of Suez, bringing their language with them, or-as seems more likely developed it in that continent need not concern us here. As they moved on, separating in different directions (as our Teutonic ancestors did when they moved into Europe), their several languages grew up.
The Bushmen
They did not find an empty continent awaiting them. The only previous inhabitants of whom we have any certain knowledge are the Bushmen, the Pygmies of the Congo forests (and some scattered remnants of similar tribes in other parts), and perhaps the Hottentots. The present-day Bushmen, most of whom are to be found in the Kalahari Desert, are small (often under four feet in height), light-complexioned (Miss Bleek says "about putty-colour"), and in various other respects differ markedly from the Bantu. They live by hunting, trapping, and collecting whatever small animals, insects, fruits, and roots are regarded as edible. They were driven into the more inhospitable regions and partially exterminated, first by the invading Bantu and then by Europeans-whose treatment of them is a very black page in our history. The Bantu, however, in some cases killed the men only, and married the women, which accounts for unusual types met with here and there among the South African Bantu. And sometimes (as G. W. Stow thought was the case with the earliest Bechuana immigrants) the newcomers may have settled down more or less peaceably with the old inhabitants. This I think not unlikely to have happened in the district west of the Shire, in Nyasaland, where the local Nyanja-speaking population (calling themselves, not quite correctly, 'Angoni') are small, dark, and wiry, and seem to have absorbed a strong Bushman element. This fact, if true, may explain some of their notions about the origin of mankind, as we shall see later on.

Chris, you DO know some of what to think about Trump.
To affluenza add some narcissism and an enormous fear of a loss of affluence.
A pitifull thing is some people want an authoritan to rule their world.

Sewer Repair
Trenching is the most common way to do a sewer repair. It requires the dirt to be dug up to expose the sewer line for repair. Trenching can be performed to expose a small area for a spot repair of a sewer line or it can be digging up an entire length of a sewer line. Trenching is generally done using an excavator, mini excavator or backhoe. In some cases, when it is not possible to get equipment in to the job site, a hand dig is required. Safety is always our main concern when trenching. Our crew is trained with the strictest safety standards. We use a system called trench shoring, where two pieces of metal are assembled to line the trench on either side and keep the dirt from caving in. Our crew is trained to operate heavy equipment with a high degree of accuracy, which is important to successfully avoid underground utilities and other obstacles such as power lines and homes.
Sewer Lines Only is careful to protect the integrity of your landscaping. Having a procedure to handle the dirt that comes out of a trench is important. Some of the dirt will be excess, which we load into a dump truck and dispose of off-site. The reason not all of the dirt will go back into the trench is because a new sewer line will be bedded with ¾ inch crushed granite or squeegee. This bedding material prevents the new sewer line from shifting causing low spots. We will lay down ply wood on grass to preserve the landscaping.

ARRI Alexa grading
Hello there,
I'm working with ARRI Alexa footage for the first time. Its grey and flat as expected, but the ARRI specific LUTS aren't working well, even as a base to do different grading. I think the camera settings in the actual shoot were not the best they could have been. The image looks really grungy - the contrast is super strong.
I seem to be able to get a better looking image - and faster too - from working off the flat image, than trying to work off footage which has the ARRI LUT applied.
My question is, if I simply do grading from the flat image, is there some quality that won't emerge? Will I miss something technical or magical from not applying the ARRI specific LUTs?
[Sam Coward] "Will I miss something technical or magical from not applying the ARRI specific LUTs?"
The key is always to make it look as nice as possible -- "Do No Harm."
Are you trying to work in a linear or log mode with footage that has been converted in some way?
"I always pass on free advice -- its never of any use to me" Oscar Wilde.
Saturation, particularly blue saturation, will not be correct. That's what the Rec709 color matrix in the Arri LUTs made using the "Rec709" setting provide, and what many users don't seem to understand. The purpose of the LUT is not just implementing a proper gamma curve, it is also applying a saturation matrix to yield proper color saturation across the color spectrum. Simply turning up the saturation control in a color grading program does not provide the same thing, although some seem to prefer that result on some material.
[Sam Coward] "I'm working with ARRI Alexa footage for the first time. Its grey and flat as expected, but the ARRI specific LUTS aren't working well, even as a base to do different grading. I think the camera settings in the actual shoot were not the best they could have been. The image looks really grungy - the contrast is super strong."
Arri lets you create custom LogC -> Rec709 LUTs on their own website, and it's pretty easy to use:
They also have a dozen different LUTs you can try, each of which affects the toe and shoulder response slightly differently.
It's always very helpful to have the camera crew shoot a known color reference chart, like one of the DSC's, so you can get an idea of where to go. Mike Most above is correct that Arri color science is not a linear saturation change, but you can get pretty close to it by hand. I know of quite a few post houses that just use a minor curve or mid adjustment for gamma and then some very slight hue/sat curve adjustments, and you can get very good results out of that.
It sounds to me like you either have:
1. The wrong footage. IE not the camera originals, maybe something with a lut baked in?
2. The wrong lut. This is probably more unlikely though, as the standard ARRI lut works well and is clearly labelled in Davinci.
Arri log, ungraded, will have blacks sitting on the waveform from 256 and the highlights usually end somewhere around 680. That will usually take any log lut you throw at it without the intense contrast you are talking about. Arri's implementation of log is somewhat unique in that it requires a Reference Rendering Transformation (in the form of a 3D LUT) to bring the colours up to the saturation of the original scene shot. This means that most 1D log / SLOG luts thrown at Arri log will look desaturated as it doesn't factor in the RRT RGB transform that needs to take place to get the picture looking correct.
Also, ARRI log footage with the lut applied almost always gives you a low con starting position, with the blacks sitting around 100 and the brightest spots around 900.
Upload a screengrab of your ungraded picture, or a splittscreen in Resolve with the LUT applied and your mouse hovering over the Lut selector setting in the node graph.

>>Arri's implementation of log is somewhat unique in that it requires a Reference Rendering Transformation >>(in the form of a 3D LUT) to bring the colours up to the saturation of the original scene shot.
That is not unique, it is completely normal and common with nearly every
RAW format sourced from a Bayer pattern sensor. The color gamut of nearly all digital cinema cameras is much wider than Rec709, so a simple deBayer to Rec709 colorspace is going to yield an image with a very low saturation. Getting the saturation back to where it "should" be, and getting it correct across the color spectrum is best done by a color matrix operation, which is what the Rec709 color matrix in the Arri lut builder does. For Red, the Redcolor settings are in fact settings for the color matrix. For Sony F55 and F65, the supplied LUTs from Sony implement a color matrix appropriate to the colorspace you capture in (SGamut2 or SGamut3). My point is that the use of a color matrix to correct for saturation when displayed on a Rec709 display is normal and common across virtually all Bayer sensor digital cinema cameras. It is not "unique" to the Alexa.
And just to use the terminology correctly, the term Reference Rendering Transform is usually used when talking about ACES, whose developers invented that term to refer to a specific combination of lookup tables and matrix transforms that are used to yield an "idealized" image from values stored in ACES space. A color matrix is a color matrix. The Reference Rendering Transform is something else that is much more complex than that.
Hi Mike,
Thanks for jumping in here and clearing up my terrible terminology.
I'm just learning about ACES and its clearly not the appropriate use of RRT here, and its great to learn from someone with your experience.
In regards to Arri log, I was referring to Arri's implementation of log, for Post Production / grading purposes, not its full colour pipeline from raw to Rec709. With Arri log in Davinci the colour matrix and the log to video transform happens in one 3D lut. You can break the two up, but standard workflow is all in one.
It my understanding this is different compared to the Red log pipeline, or the original Sony Slog pipeline, where the colour matrix is applied and included in the original log format. The only thing is required in the signal chain is to add a 1D RGB curve to bring it back to a video 2.4 gamma viewable image. So when comparing these two log formats with ARRI log they are different conceptually (and visually if compared). Its still the same colour pipeline just different from the log part up, which is why I mentioned it here in this post. Is this correct - or have I misunderstood something?
I've also noticed with Arri log to REC709 3D LUT is that it appears to be bending and changing colours quite dramatically, more than just a colour saturation boost. Do you think its just a straight forward 3x3 colour matrix that's being applied here? Or is something more complicated going on?
Thanks again!
All of these things are choices. Red chose to make the choice of color matrix part of their overall conversion routines, but that is in part because they also chose to make available color paths within that conversion setup that do not require any further manipulation, at least for Rec709 display. So they give you a choice of multiple color matrices (or none, which is what Camera RGB is) and a choice of multiple gamma curves that include Rec709 compatible output (Redgamma 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) and one that puts you into log space (RedlogFilm) that is compatible with a pipeline that would normally include a LUT to get you to your chosen display gamma. Sony puts the color matrix in the LUT path, much the same as Arri. But both Sony and Arri offer LUTs that do not implement a color matrix, so that the user has both flexibility and responsibility in these things. Also, Arri allows you to apply a P3 targeted color matrix directly to LogC Prores files internally, but most users prefer not to do this and apply it as a post process (or not) instead.
As for Arri's math, I have no direct knowledge of what they're doing, but my guess is that it's a fairly straightforward 3x3 matrix, developed with deep knowledge of the sensor characteristics and what their color scientists feel is the best representation of the captured color. This is supported by the fact that if you use their ACES IDT and look at the scene referred result through a Rec709 RRT/ODT, you get a very similar color pallette to that obtained from the Rec709 targeted LUT approach.
Have you tried any of the non-Arri LUTs?
I have one client that shoots a lot of Alexa and for some reason the Arri LUT's look terrible on it. No idea why: I've tried to find out (they've been a client a long time), not sure if it's rental house issues, or something the DP does in camera, but LUT's I use on other clients footage that looks great just doesn't work on their footage. Specifically the red color channel goes super duper pink.
I graded around it for a long time, but during a lunch break a few years ago I played around and discovered that for some reason Sony SLog2 (I think) works perfectly on their footage.
No idea why.
[Charles Haine] "I have one client that shoots a lot of Alexa and for some reason the Arri LUT's look terrible on it.

Specifically the red color channel goes super duper pink."
I have never found the Arri LUTs to produce pink results -- if anything, 90% of what I see is a gamma curve and a selective chroma increase. Note there are LUT-creation tools on Arri's website that allow you to customize their Rec709 LUTs quite a bit. In general, though, I just start from Log and do it myself -- it's not that hard to come up with a setting within Resolve that will make perfectly usable pictures.
If you want to determine if there's a legitimate issue with those cameras, have the DP shoot a DSC color chart and look at the results. If anything bad is going on, you'll see it very quickly. There's also a procedure in the Alexa manual to do a "first birthday" reset on the camera, which will restore all the settings back to the factory defaults. That will eliminate any possible corruption that might be screwing up the settings in some way, unless of course the camera is just defective.
So many useful replies! Thank you. I guess my initial question was if, by doing a DIY job, I'd miss some invisible technical step specific to Arri... From all the responses, I guess that to convert footage using Arri LUTs simply IS just that - their suggested LUTs - as pointed out, those can be customized as well. So there's nothing wrong with saying "Erk, I don't like that result. I'm going to use another LUT or create my own option". Especially if in the circumstances as the cameraman having made some 'interesting' decisions! :)
