Vermont Route F-5 (VT F-5) is a town-maintained state highway located in Chittenden County, Vermont, in the United States. The route, assigned in the late 1920s, is the last remaining F-X designation in Vermont. F-X route designations were previously used for roads leading to ferries across Lake Champlain.  VT F-5's western terminus is at the Charlotte–Essex Ferry traversing Lake Champlain, which links VT F-5 with New York State Route 22 (NY 22) on the opposite side of the lake. The eastern terminus is at an intersection with U.S. Route 7 (US 7) in Charlotte. It is known as Ferry Road for its entire length.

Route description

From the Charlotte–Essex Ferry dock on the east bank of Lake Champlain in Charlotte, VT F-5 curves to the east for a short time before turning to the north. After a half-mile, Ferry Road and VT F-5 turn for the final time, making an eastward turn onto a straightway that leads to US 7.

Despite the lack of curves on the  straightaway, the hilly terrain of the area makes navigating the road a challenge at times.

History
VT F-5 was assigned in the late 1920s as part of a series of 11 F-X routes connecting ferries across Lake Champlain from New York to the remainder of the Vermont state highway system. The routes were numbered from VT F-1 to VT F-10 (with one suffixed route, VT F-9A) and assigned in order from north to south, with VT F-1 connecting to the northernmost ferry between the two states. A 12th route, VT F-10A, was added ca. 1930, but merged with VT F-9 by the following year.

Over the next three decades, many of the F-X routes were eliminated or renumbered to standard numerical designations as all but four Lake Champlain ferries ceased operations. By the early 1960s, only two F-X routes remained: VT F-5 and VT F-3, a loop route on Grand Isle serving the Grand Isle–Plattsburgh Ferry. VT F-3 was renumbered to VT 314 ca. 1964, leaving VT F-5 as the last F-X route.

The Pelican Advantage Series Salt Water Softener provides softened water using salt or potassium. All Pelican Advantage Series salt-based water softeners are metered and only backwash when needed to waste as few gallons as possible.
As water passes through the mineral tank, the positively charged calcium and magnesium ions are lost to negatively-charged plastic beads. The brine tank holds a solution of water and salt that flushes the mineral tank and replaces the calcium and magnesium ions with sodium. Recharging cycles are controlled by the meter on the top of the tank (normally once every 7 days).
Q. Why should I choose the Pelican Water Softener over the others on the market?
The Pelican line of water softeners is designed with the highest quality materials on the market today. Pelican Water Softeners utilize the top of the line electronic heads along with features that save you time and money. Quality costs more to make, we would rather build quality than apologize for its absence. Pelican Water Technologies is a leader is advanced water treatment and is dedicated to the future of water treatment methods and ways to improve water for the end user.
Q. Can the Pelican Water Softeners be installed outdoors?
Pelican water softeners should be protected against the weather when they are installed outside. The electronic head should be shielded from water.
The decision to install a water softener outside depends on the part of the country you live in. For example, if it seldom freezes, it may be acceptable to install a water softener outside, but sun, wind, and rain can still reduce their longevity. Ultraviolet light can damage the plastic components, while rain and high humidity have an undesirable effect on the electronics and mechanical parts. If you decide to install a water softener outside, it is advised to protect it from the elements with a weatherproof cover or cabinet.
Q. How long does the resin last in the Pelican Water Softeners?
Resin life depends on several factors, including the amount of chlorine, quality of resin, and number of regenerations. The average life of resin is typically 7-15 years. If the chlorine is removed from the water with a carbon pre-filter such as the Pelican PC600 or PC1000, thereby preventing it from reaching the resin, the resin could last up to 25 years.
While a water softener resin bed normally can last as long as 15 years, iron in well water and excessive amounts of chlorine in city water can damage a resin bed. If your water softener is using up salt at its regular rate and water is no longer being softened, the resin bed is likely saturated with iron deposits or damaged by chlorine. When this happens, it can no longer be regenerated by the brine and needs to be replaced.
Yes, potassium chloride can be used instead of salt. While potassium chloride is a more expensive alternative, it is well worth the cost when you consider the benefits.
According to the Mayo Clinic, levels of sodium in drinking water are very low in most water systems. An Environmental Protection Agency survey found the majority of water softener systems tested contained less than 50 mg sodium per liter. Based on this data, a fourth of a liter (about an 8-ounce glass) of water would contain less than 12.5 mg of sodium, which falls within the Food and Drug Administration's definition of .very low sodium.. Individuals on a very low-sodium diet who are concerned about the amount of sodium in softened water should consider a water-purification system that uses potassium chloride instead of salt.
Q. Will the Pelican Water Softeners remove iron from my water?
Yes, Pelican Water Softeners will remove all ferrous iron (Fe++) or clear iron. If other types of iron are present in your water, the Pelican Iron Removal Filter is recommended in addition to the Pelican Water Softener, because oxidized forms of iron in raw water will damage the softener resin.
Iron in drinking water is not considered a health hazard but it tastes bad and leaves an unsightly residue anywhere you use water in your home, such as the washing machine or toilet. Soluble iron leaves behind a reddish brown residue on glasses and sinks. Insoluble iron can cause water to take on an unsightly rusty red or yellow hue.
In well water, the majority of iron occurs in its ferrous state. Iron removal from water is accomplished the same way other minerals are removed, by exchanging the iron with salt/sodium. Then the iron is removed from the softener resin bed through backwashing and regeneration. The efficiency of a water softener in removing iron depends to some extent on the iron concentration, water hardness, and pH level of your water. Even ferrous iron can clog and foul the softener resin, so periodically, a resin cleaning compound should be used to remove iron particles.
Q. How much salt is added to my water from the Pelican Water Softeners?
It depends on the hardness level of the original water. For example, drinking a quart of softened water with a hardness of 20 grains of hardness will add 150.0 milligrams/quart, of sodium the equivalent of less than a tablespoon of ketchup or a slice of white bread.
With all brands of water softeners there will be a pressure drop. The Pelican Water Softeners are of the highest quality available on the market therefore the pressure drop will be very low compared to most other brands.
According to the Water Quality Association Technical Papers concerning septic tanks, ect. Concerns about salt and soil absorption rates were dispelled. The increased sodium content in the tanks discharge was shown to have no detrimental effect on the soils ability to absorb water in a normal drain field. Interestingly, certain soil conditions benefited from it. Additionally, when the softener's calcium-rich regeneration backwash emptied into the septic system, the discharge could actually improve the soils percolation. The conclusion drawn from these tests is that the softened water is not harmful to a normally operating septic system or drain field.
As long as the water pressure at the softener is not less than 40 PSI and the run of the drain line does not exceed 15, your discharge line may be elevated up to 4 above the system. For each additional 10 PSI of water supply the line can be elevated an additional.
If you are using sodium chloride to regenerate the resin, over time, softened water can be harmful to plants and other vegetation. It is recommended that outside faucets be bypassed from the softener.
Most plants cannot withstand high amounts of salt. The sodium in softened water interferes with the water balance in plants, tricking them into thinking they have absorbed more water than they actually have. So softened water causes plants to die of thirst. In addition to installing a bypass spigot on outdoor faucets, mixing softened water with rainwater to water your plants dilutes sodium levels and is less harmful to them. Salt buildup in soil results from using brine-based softened water. This is also harmful to grass, so it is not recommended for irrigating lawns or gardens.
A typical home with a family of 4 with 2.5 bathrooms and a hardness of 10 will require a 32,000 grains softener that will regenerate every 11 days. The softener uses about 9 lbs of salt per regeneration, so if your brine tank is full (375lbs) from the start, you will not add salt for about 10 months.
No, the Pelican Water Softener System comes complete with and 1 copper and CPVC plumbing fittings and also a drain line for your convenience.
Q. Does the softener filter out chlorine and chemicals from my water?
No, the Pelican softener is a water softener/conditioning system. Its sole purpose is to deal with the hardness in your water and not the contaminants. If you are interested in filtering chlorine and other chemicals from your water, you may want to consider the Pelican Whole House Water Filter and Softening Combo.
Carbon-based whole house filter systems are the most economical solutions. High quality systems can effectively remove sediment, rust, and other large contaminants, harsh disinfectants such as chlorine and chloramine, as well as lead, mercury, nickel, and other dissolved metals. Carbon/activated carbon filters also can remove dangerous organic compounds (such as VOC.s). It.s important to only buy a water filter that is NSF-certified and one that lists the testing done in the certification process.
All systems come standard with high capacity resin tanks, and a 5-year warranty on the electronic head. If you are looking to purchase a salt-based system and you want the very best then the Pelican Advantage Series is your answer.
Metered Delayed Backwash for Minimal Water Waste, Only Backwash When You Need To!
Meter Immediate - When the Water Volume Remaining display has reached zero gallons, a regeneration cycle will be initiated immediately.
Meter Delayed - When the Water Volume Remaining display has reached zero gallons, a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the preset Regeneration Time Of Day chosen during setup (i.e. 1:00 am).
Time Clock Delayed - When the valve reaches its set Days Since Regeneration, a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the preset Regeneration Time Of Day chosen during setup (i.e. 1:00 am). This event occurs regardless of the Water Volume Remaining display having reached zero gallons.

Early post today, mainly because for the first time in over 100 days I've got time to sit in the office and just… do nothing. Ben has the pitch sorted. The deck looks awesome. I've got my timings worked out for all the transitions. We're as ready as we'll ever be.
I've spent some of today wondering the office grabbing photos of people because this is really the last chance I'm going to get. tomorrow is going to be a blur and then we'll be done. Which is going to be… odd.
I've become institutionalised to 14+ hour days, 6 hours of sleep a night, and snippets of a personal life snatched in between catching up on sleep at the weekend. I'm actually going to miss it. I'm not even sure I can imagine getting anything meaningful done in anything as short as a 'normal' 8 or 9 hour day.
There's an energy in the office, but a slightly nervous one. People are making the final preparations for tomorrow. We all know it's going to be a big day.
And by big, I mean huge. This is the biggest demo day, quite possibly in the entire world. Over 1000 people have signed up to come. The venue is a cinema, and you can't fit everyone into a single screen. So Techstars have hired a second screen and we're going to pitch twice. Yup, you heard that right. We're going to pitch to one room of people, and then do it all over again to a second room. And by "we", I mean Ben. I just need to press a button at the indicated points in the printed script I have. He's the one who needs to do the entire pitch from memory. Twice. Before then having to learn a 3 minute version and do it at Number 10… you know, the place where the PM lives. No pressure then.
While he's doing that, we're going to be speaking to the demo day guests, making introductions and generally schmoozing. Then it's a party at the office, topped off with the massive Techstars demo day party at a secret location.
And then… home. Where I need to reintegrate myself with my family, get used to living in the real world again, and deal with the fact that I have a newborn coming in less than a month.

Both HM and Shelby have antegograde amnesia (where you cannot form new memories). This is different that reterograde amnesia (where you cannot recall some or much of your previous memories). Memento gets it wrong when Shelby says: "I don't have amnesia. I know who I am. I just can't form new memories." Well, he does have amnesia, its simply a different type of amnesia than movies tend to deal with. Reterograde amnesia is a favorite of movie makers (both Hollywood and Bollywood), perhaps because it offers an easier opportunity for simplistic drama – someone has a loss of identity, they redefine themselves, or their past catches up with them. Ah, the dramatic possibilities!
In my opinion, Memento also gets it wrong when Shelby says that he has short term memory problems. His problem is not with short term memory itself – it has to do with the transfer of memories from the short term to the long term store. So he can remain in the moment and retain whats happening around him. But he forgets everything as soon as he is out of that moment.
Steven Johnson's excellent review of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, refers to Memento as based on an older model of memory formation, saying that the newer model integrates emotion more deeply. While his contention about emotion is correct, I don't think that the model of memory exposed by Memento is any less valid today. The model might be more refined now, but there is no change to the basic premise of Memento – very limited damage to certain parts of the brain can cause profound amnesia. Such damage can be global, i.e., it holds true for both emotional and non emotional memories.
The emphasis on feeling over data processing puts Eternal Sunshine squarely in the mainstream of the brain sciences today. We now know that the brain stores emotional memories very differently from unemotional ones…Particularly traumatic memories appear to be captured by two separate parts of the brain: the hippocampus, the normal seat of memory, and the amygdala, one of the brain's emotional centers. People incapable of forming long-term memories thanks to hippocampal damage can nonetheless form subconscious memories of traumatic events if their amygdala is intact. Someone suffering from the Memento condition would likely have a feeling of general unease encountering a person or a situation that had caused them harm in the past, though they wouldn't be able to put their finger on what was making them uncomfortable.
Here, Steven is bringing up the difference between explicit and implicit memory. However, he seems to say that implicit memory (that lie below consciousness) is relevant primarily in an emotional context. That is not correct. Someone like Shelby (in Memento) should be capable of forming implicit memories in a non-emotional context as well. For example, he should be able to learn new skills such as riding a bike. A story told to by my advisor in Graduate School will illustrate this: There was once an amnesic patient and a graduate student. Everyday, the student would meet the patient and introduce himself since the patient never remembered. One day the graduate student told the patient a joke. The patient laughed out loud and said "thats funny, I have never heard that". Next day, the student repeated the same joke. The patient laughed, but not so loudly, though he still said that he had never heard the joke before. The day after that, the student repeated the joke again. And the next day. Anyway, soon the patient stopped laughing entirely though he never remembered having heard the joke.
Explicit memory for the joke was impaired, implicit memory was fine. Implicit memory system engages many brain structures not just the parts of the brain having to do with emotion, i.e., the amygdala.

For most of my life, I've been drawn to Sutro Tower, which sits atop a hill in San Francisco. While it's iconic, it's often overshadowed: not necessarily pretty, and certainly not golden. For me, it has a presence much like the fog, which is ever-present and something I've always felt connected to—and in my mind, one could not exist without the other. When the fog rolls in, it covers the city, yet the tips of the tower are often visible, piercing through the haze. Of all the structures that rise into the sky or span across the bay, Sutro Tower is at once a relic, representing what I once loved about San Francisco. And yet, as an antenna tower, it's also a mark of now, of the future.
Twenty years ago, it became a symbol to me at a time when I grew more curious, when I really opened my eyes and mind for the first time, when I discovered the possibility and freedom and soul within music, when we danced to cybertrance in the dark, when the sound of new frequencies guided me upward. Now, years later, even though San Francisco and I have long broken up, and I no longer identify with the place it has become, the tower remains dear to me: a reminder of the flow and energy within, of that inner strength and clarity on days of fog, of the importance of reaching for the stars.


HomePersonal Finance BlogHow will Brexit affect personal loans and other family finances?
The 'B' word has been all over the media in the last month. The Prime Minister Theresa May officially triggered Article 50 on 29th March, starting the process of removing the UK from Europe. Wherever you stand on the issue, there's no doubt that this is the start of a period of significant change for the UK. Brexit is likely to affect many different areas of our lives, from the prices we pay, to the way that we travel. Perhaps the most significant impact of Brexit will be the way that it affects UK personal finance, the way we borrow, save and spend.
The most important factor in terms of the impact of Brexit on personal loans (more at solution-loans.co.uk/personal-loans/) is interest rates. At the moment interest rates are low – the Bank of England Base Rate is 0.25%. This is a record low for the UK and has meant that borrowing is (comparative to pre-2008) cheap. Many lenders – especially mortgage lenders – set their interest rates using the Bank of England Base Rate as a guide. This has meant that it has been cheaper to borrow than in many previous years. However, in February 2017 Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England, indicated that interest rates would not be likely to stay at this level. He said that the likelihood was that a raise was on the horizon in the relatively near future.
The fear for borrowers is that an interest rate rise could push up the % payable to borrow the same amount of money. Although this likely will happen for mortgages, it's worth remembering that personal loan interest rates are not as tightly linked to the Bank of England Base Rate as mortgages are. So, lenders may not pass on a rate rise to the same extent. There are also other factors to bear in mind when it comes to personal loan interest rates, such as the individual's credit rating.
The flip side of the interest rates coin is savings. If interest rates rise then borrowing costs more but saving should earn more. Interest rates on savings are currently incredibly low – the top standard easy access deal is 1.27%. Most experts don't believe that UK savings rates could actually get much lower. However, whether they will rise – and, if so by how much – is another question that depends on what the Bank of England does with interest rates. So far, cash ISAs have definitely not benefitted – in May 2016 (pre-referendum) the average cash Isa rate stood at 0.87% but is now halved at 0.43%.
Since the Brexit referendum result last year the pound has lost a lot of ground against other currencies. It's now worth much less i.e. you will get fewer dollars or Euros for your pound that you might have two years ago. Private pensions invested in stocks and shares will have lost money as a result of this currency value fall. So, if you're cashing in your pension today – or in the near future – you may well see a drop in its value. If not, then this is a 'paper loss' that could be set right in future if the pound picks up its strength again.
The state pension has been another cause for concern for many. Some predicted that a huge economic downturn following Brexit would mean that the state pension rate would have to be cut to cover the cost. For now, it remains the same. However, what happens in future will depend on how the UK economy responds to the moment we actually leave.
So far, Brexit seems to have slowed the housing market – fewer people are moving home. According to figures from HM Revenue & Customs, transaction values from the second half of 2016 were 9% less than the year before. London has been the most significantly hit and experts predict that this will continue. Prices in the capital are set to 'flatline' for the next couple of years, as people are cautious about making such a large financial investment.
Inflation is the biggest problem for all of us when it comes to living costs. As a result of the drop in the value of the pound some things already cost more. The latest BRC-Nielsen Shop Price Index showed that food prices have risen at the fastest rate for three years as retailers passed on their Brexit-related costs to shoppers. The key problem is imported goods, which now cost more to bring into the country as a result of the weak pound. However, some retailers are increasing prices across the board, spotting an opportunity to do so via Brexit whether it is justified or not.
How might Brexit affect UK house prices?

Walt: " Mer, I just want to let you know that YOU are my Academy Award."
Mer: "Walt, that's so sweet, but what about Gracie?"
Walt: "She would have to be my Golden Globe."
That's right! I do remember Brett's exact quote, "I can't believe we let a teacher beat us." Ladies and gentlemen there was not any Lettin' going on here... I beat everyone by a good 10 points! It was great! We then moved on to Trivial Pursuit and after 2 hours of trying to get a winner we finally accomplished that: Needless to say Walt and I were extremely disappointed when we didn't win...(We always win when we are teamed up together.)Brett of course loved it because there was only one loser for the entire night: AWW! Poor Walt... he was the "loser" of the night! We had such a great time and can't wait for another "game night" with our friends. We've already decided next time we might just get shirts made... Team "Bass"-holes anyone?? just kidding! Thanks for a great Saturday night!
I always knew that my calling in life was to become a teacher. I am surrounded by children everyday and I am always challenged....this past week I had "very minor" surgery done and was home from school Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Thursday my mother got a knock at my front door... it was the Owasso florist... with a bouquet of flowers sent from my "4th grade moms." How precious is that? How lucky am I to have such supportive, caring parents? I am extremely blessed and thankful. I love each and every one of you and your children mean more to me than anything.
Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
I am not secretly hoping that people will link themselves to my new widget on the side... no, I don't like to see who visits my blog.
I have not been cooped up in my house since Thursday night and only ventured out to go to Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby...definitely NOT me.
I am not counting down the days until my husband is NO LONGER traveling...nah...I love him being gone, right?
I did not clean the kitchen 6 times this weekend because I was so bored....why would I do such a thing?
I did not make a huge batch of chicken vegetable soup for the week because when my mom gets here I don't want her to have to cook....but she's the mother, shouldn't she be cooking?
I did not let Gracie snack on some of my Valentine's day nerds...we were watching a movie and she thought the strawberry and fruit punch combination was so good. What dog really does that?
I have not checked my sister's blog about 5,000 times because I can't wait to see a new update on Jack... I don't love him that much now do I?
I did not stay at home this weekend and watch 4 movies, cry in all of them, eat 5 pieces of pizza , don't forget the brownies and drink wine...of course I would never.
Lastly.. I am not a little happy that I won't be at school Wednesday or Thursday and my momma will be here to take care of me... no way.. I'm NOT a momma's girl!
and the last thing that I will show you for today... so I had some extra fabric left over from making the pillow cases... and I really wanted some curtains above my sink. I've read blogs that show you exactly how to do it....decided I would give it a try... it's not perfect, nor is it even, but I spent nothing on them and when I feel like taking them down... it will take 10 seconds.. and they only took 10 minutes to make and hang.
So... I can officially say that my house is now more geared towards spring. I do believe in changing things out every once in a while... and there's no need to spend a ton of money... I'm sure you have things just lying around the house that can be re-arranged. Come March... I'll show you my decorations! P.S. if my nana had a computer... I think she'd die if she knew I just make curtains from a tablecloth AND I didn't sew them!
Happy Valentine's Day! May your day be filled with hugs and kisses from the ones you love the most!
1. I told her that she was going to be getting a bath when I got home from work today.
2. She really misses her dad.
I'd like to think it was the first reason, but I know deep in my heart it is the 2nd. Walt is the type of person that comes home and pays Gracie all the attention first, and then he makes his way over to kiss me. Walt is the type of man that can't go to sleep unless Gracie is on the bed, but is ok if I am in the other room watching t.v. When Walt cooks steaks, he makes a small steak for Gracie and lets her snack on it for a week. He has over 15 songs that he has written especially for her... I wouldn't say he is obsessed with her (well, I wouldn't say that on the computer...but I'd say it to his face) I'd just say that he is in LOVE with her.
Now, if that isn't love...then I don't know what is.... he even made sure he mailed it early so it would get here on time for Gracie on Valentine's Day. Don't worry... I got one too.
What a wonderful weekend I had with Katie!! It was great to be back with her again. We spent a lot of time catching up, talking about the past and discussing what we want in our future. We have definitely changed since our 304 The Place days. (that was our apartment number in college) We were in bed by 12:30, up by 8ish, but the conversation was never lacking. Isn't it great to have a best friend that you can just pick back up where you left off? I am extremely thankful for my friendship with Katie and I am extremely grateful that she came all the way to Oklahoma to see me. Now I'm just counting down the days until we are re-united again! Love you Katie!!

Rafael Nadal of Spain in action during his round of 16 match against Uruguay's Pablo Cuevas at the Rolex Paris Masters tennis tournament in Paris, France, 02 November 2017. EPA-EFE/IAN LANGSDON
Rafael Nadal turned media day at the ATP World Tour Finals into a declaration of intent.
The world No. 1, who limped out of Paris with knee tendinitis, says he is committed to competing at the ATP World Tour Finals in London.
"If I didn't believe I could be ready for Monday I wouldn't be here," Nadal told the media at the O2 Arena. "I don't have to make a decision. I'm going to play. That's my feeling today.
"I had problems in Paris a few weeks ago. I go day by day, how I'm feeling. I can't predict what will happen, but my feeling is now I'm going to play and try my best."
The 31-year-old Spaniard played with taping beneath his right knee during his Rolex Paris Masters victory over Pablo Cuevas. Nadal won that match in three sets, but conceded a walkover to Serbian qualifier Filip Krajinovic in the quarterfinals.
Nadal will face David Goffin in his opening round-robin match on Monday night in what will be their first career meeting on hard courts.
The man from Mallorca ended a three-year, hard-court title drought winning his 16th Grand Slam title at the US Open in September.
He'll try to snap another streak in London.
The 10-time Roland Garros champion has yet to win the season-ending event.
Indoor tennis is the Spaniard's most challenging environment. His .688 winning percentage is significantly below his career winning percentages on clay (.917), grass (.772) and hard court (.771) in part because elite opponents can exploit his deeper return position and because its more difficult for Nadal to extend points indoors.
Nadal has posted a 16-12 career record at the World Tour Finals and was twice runner-up bowing to Novak Djokovic in the 2013 final after falling to Roger Federer in the 2010 London title match.
"It's always in my mind, during 13 years that I'm qualified," Nadal told the media in London. "Being here is an important thing, but for me the most important thing is the only thing that happened to me this year. Winning tournaments, competing every week, being healthy until Paris."
Nadal owns a combined 17-3 record against competitors in the Pete Sampras Group of the season-ending tournament.
The 16-time Grand Slam champion is 10-1 vs. Grigor Dimitrov, including a five-set Australian Open semifinal triumph in January and a pair of three-set wins in Beijing and Shanghai.
The US Open champion has not dropped a set to Goffin in their two meetings, both contested on clay. Nadal has won five of seven meetings vs. Dominic Thiem with all seven matches staged on red clay.
Regardless of his results in London, Nadal will walk away a big winner. He's already clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking for the fourth time.
"I'm number one here, great," Nadal said. "It's a very important achievement, especially at my age. It's something important for me, but that's all. It's going to be a nice moment when I receive the Sunday award, a year ago it was never in my mind to achieve that."

A Python Dictionary is a collection which is unordered, changeable, and indexed. Unlike string, dictionary is mutable so, dictionary can expand or sink as per the requirement.
TIP: You can also place one dictionary inside another and list inside a dictionary.
Or you can use dict() keyword.
We can access the Dictionary values using their keys. This can be done by placing key inside the square brackets, or using get function.
TIP: If you access non-existing key, get function with return none. Where as, placing key inside the square brackets method will thrown an error.
Remember, dictionaries are mutable so, you can insert or update any value at any point of time. Use below syntax to insert or update dictionary values.
If key is present in the dictionary then it will update the key value.
If Dictionary_name doesn't have the key then it will insert the new key with given value.
The pop method remove the value at a given key, and prints the removed value. popitem() will remove the last inserted item (key, value pair) from dictionary.
The del statement will remove the value at specified key. If you miss to provide the key then it will completely delete or remove the given dictionary.
The clear() statement will simply clears the dictionary items.
The Python For Loop is the most common way to traverse the dictionary items.
Following statements will help us to iterate, and print the keys inside a dictionary.
Following statements will help us to iterate, and print the values inside a dictionary.
In Python, you can use items inside the for loop to return dictionary keys, and values. This is very useful to access the individual dictionary items.
fromkeys() – Returns new dictionary.Where, keys starts from sequence, and values equal to values.
get() – Returns the Value of a Given Key.
pop() – Remove and prints the value of a given key.
popitem() – Remove and prints the last inserted key-value pair.
setdefault() – If given key is present in the dictionary then, it will return its value. If not, this function will insert key with given value, and prints that value.
update() – Update the Key-Value pair of a Dictionary.
The following methods are common methods which can used on Lists, Dictionaries, Tuples.
The Dictionary min function is used to find the minimum value among the given list items.

Horner credits Verstappen with leading Red Bull development
Image by Andy Hone/LAT
By Chris Medland May 28, 2019 10:32 AM
By Chris Medland | May 28, 2019 10:32 AM
Max Verstappen is leading Red Bull from a car development point of view, says team principal Christian Horner.
Red Bull lost Daniel Ricciardo to Renault over the winter, with Pierre Gasly replacing the Australian after just one full season at Toro Rosso. That makes Verstappen the more experienced of the two drivers and with Red Bull trying to recover a deficit to Mercedes under new regulations this season, Horner says a more mature Verstappen is leading the team's development.
"I think really, if you wind the clock back 12 months (Monaco) was probably the lowest weekend, last year, of his career, having a car capable of winning and crashing in FP3 and not being able to take part in qualifying," Horner said. "That was very tough for him and I think he went away from that race and he reflected hard on it.
"Since Montreal last year he's really just stepped things up a gear and he's been a phenomenal force whenever he's been in the car. The way he started this season has been outstanding. He's overachieved in certain aspects and I think he's got that roundedness of maturity and is very much leading the team development-wise.
"I think he's enjoying and relishing that role as well, so if you compare Max Verstappen (today) to the equivalent time last year, he's evolved a tremendous amount and I think that's again the benefit of experience as well."

Horner was particularly impressed with Verstappen's performance in Monaco, where the 21-year-old fought Lewis Hamilton for victory before eventually being classified in fourth place.
"Max drove the wheels off the car. He got away in grid position and had a look at passing (Valtteri) Bottas into Turn 1 but wasn't quite far enough alongside. The mechanics did a great job with the pit stop and Max left the box before Bottas which, as per the rules, is fine. Unfortunately, it all got a bit too tight resulting in the Mercedes making contact with the barrier and the stewards issuing Max a five-second penalty.
"Max drove like a lion for the rest of the race and tried everything he could to pass Lewis. We had a better tire strategy and there was only really one lap where he got close to making a move into the chicane.
"Finishing second on the road, but with the top four so close … finishing fourth is tough for Max after a drive like that but as always, he didn't give up until the checkered flag."

Here's how you can keep hair looking its best and go longer in between salon appointments.
You spend a lot of time and money at the salon to achieve the perfect hair color, so it only makes sense that you would be disappointed when the hue starts to fade after only a few washes. Not to worry: There are ways to maintain the vibrancy at home without breaking the bank (or having to play hair colorist in your bathroom). Below, seven genius products that will protect color-treated hair in between salon appointments.
The same way you use a potent serum in your skincare routine, a serum that's rich in vitamins can work wonders on your strands. This one is laced with vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and quinoa protein—a trio that increases shine and helps protect against oxidation caused by the environment. Add a few drops to any hair product and mix in hands before distributing.
One of the reasons why color fades has to do with the health of your hair. If it's dry and damaged, it won't hold pigment as well. Enter this conditioning treatment: it helps repair as it deposits pigments that enhance your color. Choose from the available 15 shades. Leave on for three minutes after shampooing, then rinse.
If your main concern is making color last and covering up grey, this spray will come in handy. Hold it about ten inches away from your roots and spritz until you start to see them disappear. Pro tip: Have thinning spots? You can also spray this formula directly on your scalp to help hair appear fuller.
Before you hop in the shower, apply this gel-in-oil formula; it forms a protective shield that penetrates the hair fiber and locks in color before you shampoo so your precious hue isn't washed down your drain. To use, section dry hair and then coat from root to tips. After about two minutes, you can add your shampoo without rinsing the pre-shampoo out and proceed as you normally would.
Apple cider vinegar is an all-star ingredient for bringing the pH of the scalp and hair back to balance—when pH is out of wack, not only is color affected, but bacteria can thrive. Use this conditioning mask once a week to deep condition with rosehip, avocado, and coconut oils.
Lacking luster? One of the biggest culprits is often heat damage. Hot tools can wreck havoc on color-treated hair. In addition to limiting how often you use your curling iron, make sure you're incorporating a heat protection spray when you do. This one shields against heat damage, has anti-static properties to minimize flyaways, and helps lock in shine. Mist onto hair before you apply heat to strands.


A thorough induction process is particularly important for employees who are deaf or have hearing loss. It's the ideal opportunity for practices to be set up to support someone, so they're embedded in the employee's and team's ways of doing things.
Offer new starters another opportunity to share information about their disability or health condition that needs support in the workplace. Their line manager can repeat the message that you are a welcoming organisation that values diversity and inclusion and has support available. If applicable, mention this in an induction presentation or pack.
Offer a workplace assessment to your employee as this can ensure the right support is in place. Access to Work will consider paying grants of up to 100% if the application process is started within the first six weeks of employment.
Make sure that the right adjustments are in place. Once the employee has started, it may become clearer what environmental adjustments are needed; for example, check with the employee that they are sitting in an appropriate position in the office, where there is not too much background noise.
For someone whose first language is sign language, keep in mind that lots of written induction documents may take them longer to read through than other people, and ensure a sign language interpreter is available to go through documents with them together. Because of this, the induction programme should be phased so that there's not a mass of information at one go.
Give team members the opportunity to learn communication skills to support their new colleague – and other existing and future colleagues who may have hearing difficulties.
New employees with hearing loss may also be interested to know about other people with hearing loss within your organisation. Informal staff networks or organised groups can be useful channels of communication for staff with hearing loss.

Ft McMurray's HomepageTV & MoviesThe Devil Has a Name
The Devil Has a Name
This movie's opening scene is a scenery-chewing feast. Kate Bosworth's Gigi comes swaggering into a boardroom at Houston's Shore Oil, wearing a duster that maybe she picked up in the costume trailer for a spaghetti Western, and sets a flask in front of her not too long after sitting down.
Across from her sits Alfred Molina as "Big Boss," who sneers contempt BIGLY as he drawls snide observations about JFK's assassination and implies that Gigi may be in for something similar. The 35th President, he says, "was culled like a veal calf," because "LBJ could not abide whippersnappers." Apparently Big Boss is not up on Robert Caro, who thoroughly discredited any notion that LBJ was involved in Kennedy's assassination without breaking a sweat.
Giving no quarter in the overacting department, the usually normal performer Bosworth drawls the title phrase back as Big Boss. Which is ironic because the real devil here is the oil company, not the farmer played by David Strathairn who sues Shore Oil for polluting his land.
Reputedly "inspired by true events" but really just riffing outrageously on the Central California Water Contamination Wars, "The Devil Has a Name," directed by actor Edward James Olmos, who also plays a supporting role here, is an angry movie that's angry about the right things. But it's so angry that it gets a little crazy about it.
The script is by Robert McEveety, and much of it sounds like stuff Aaron Sorkin might concoct if he were on the same drug regimen our current president is currently enjoying. "The board's issue is not with the pollution but your failure to cover it up," one corporate functionary chides Gigi. Aside from being a tad on-the-nose, this ignores the fact that no corporate shill who's not a complete imbecile ever pronounces the words "cover up" out loud but instead uses convoluted capitalist newspeak like "contain the narrative." And then there's the fact that more often than not such miscreants are convinced of their rectitude. This movie's villains twirl mustaches that are yards long.
Various parties come around to mollify Strathairn's Freddy; Haley Joel Osment plays a slick ad guy who lowballs him. Then Freddy is approached by a stammering would-be whistleblower who turns out to be no such thing, as anyone who recognizes Pablo Schreiber will instantly figure out.
On a couple of story arcs on "Law and Order: SVU," Schreiber played a superhuman psychotic who kidnapped and terrorized Mariska Hargitay's Olivia Benson maybe 34 times or so. Did I mention scenery-chewing before? In these episodes Schreiber became The Actor Who Ate New York. Here he only has about 50 minutes of screen time to chow down, but man does he make the best of it.
As for Bosworth, her massive freak-out after spilling coffee on her rug is elevated to a semi-Shakespearean "Out, damn spot" one-act; one wants to shout at her to call Stanley Steemer already.
How does the movie remain watchable despite all this breast-beating? Well, in a weird way, the breast-beating is kind of fun, once you've accustomed yourself to the fact that you're in for it. And the familiarity of some of it—Martin Sheen as a righteous lawyer doing his righteous Martin Sheen thing, the easy chemistry of Strathairn and right-hand-man Olmos as they speak unsubtitled Spanish at each other—lends a Social-Justice-Movie Comfort Vibe to the proceedings.
And also: venal corporate interests are polluting our water! It's real, people.

The other day I shared a fun Easter tradition similar to the Elf on the Shelf, that you hide and seek a plush bunny right until Easter. Today, I wanted to share another wonderful Easter tradition fans of the elf would love, as they count down until the Easter Bunny's arrival on Sunday, April 1st.
Introducing Chick in a Basket...that is Agent Chick to your family, and he comes dressed as a secret agent ready to teach your child about responsibility and kindness through a fun Easter Bunny on the Shelf adventure.
Agent Chick arrives in a top secret box, along with a book that shares the story about Chick in a Basket and a special golden egg which holds good deeds your child is to do as they count down to Easter. Sounds like fun, right? We have had Chick in a Basket for about a week now and the girls are loving it. The first night we got this lovely set in the mail, the girls chose the perfect basket to sit their Agent Chick in. They put the golden egg in the basket with him, and went to bed, looking forward to the golden egg hunt the next morning.
Like I shared in my previous post, we do Elf on the Shelf, but I had to scale back as I was getting stressed trying to find crazy antics and setups for the girls' elves each day. So, instead of crazy antics, we have the elves move about each night into a new spot for the girls to find. It is so much easier, and just as fun as the girls really like the hide and seek each morning. Knowing this, I knew that they would get a kick out of the Chick in a Basket adventure, and that they did!
This fun new Easter tradition starts a dozen days before Easter -- but, you could still order now and double up on the good deeds, as you count down to Easter morning. Your kids will be excited when they meet Agent Chick, a secret agent bunny that will be sent each year by the Easter Bunny. When your children sleep at night, Agent Chick will sneak out of his basket and hide the magic golden egg for your child to find. Inside the egg will be a good deed that your child has to do each day. This set comes with good deeds already printed out on paper slips, as well as blank slips you can add your own personalized good deeds to.
My girls woke the first day after Agent Chick arrived, and found "Make Your Bed" and "Help someone out without being asked" as their good deeds. As a parent who struggles to get their kids to pick up their toys, put their dirty clothes in the laundry room and make their beds, I wasn't sure if they would make their bed. But, they were all excited about Agent Chick at our house and knowing that he would be reporting back to the Easter Bunny, they were quick to run upstairs and make their beds. And, when we were at the market later in the day, Bella picked up item that fell from the shelf for the person in front of us. Savannah gave an older lady a cart when she entered the market as I was getting one for myself. I loved seeing my girls doing this good deeds, and they loved doing something nice for others and seeing how these small things mean a lot to others. My girls could see that I didn't have to stop what I was doing to make their beds or remind them to make them, and I loved seeing them help others at the market and smile when they were told "Thank you."
There is a blank month sheet that comes with this set that you can hang up and mark off each day your child successfully does a good deed. This lets them keep track of how many good deeds they have done, and also count down to Easter. My girls are excited for the Easter Bunny to arrive, but are also a little sad as they don't want to see Agent Chick leave. They have gotten used to seeing him every morning, and love looking for the magic golden egg and seeing what good deed Agent Chick wants them to do for the day.
If you are looking for a fun new Easter tradition to add to your family's Easter celebrations and countdown, then why not consider picking up Chick in a Basket. My girls love it, and I know your kids will, too. To learn more about Chick in a Basket, including ordering a set includes book, Agent Chick, golden egg and pre-printed good deeds, head on over to https://www.chickinabasket.com/.
This sounds like such a great idea and one the kids would really enjoy thank you for sharing this one.

Country Music Mythologized in Murals
Posted on September 23, 2019 by Siri Mellem
Mismatched faces loom down at passersby in Dothan, Alabama. Some grinning, some straight-faced, sixteen white ovals are superimposed on each other. The mural's array of country music artists is reminiscent of a bad photoshop job. I will argue that our conception of country music as a genre is just as piecemeal and whitewashed.
Country Music Mural in Dothan, Alabama
Wes Hardin's 2010 mural presents a myriad of flat, disconnected faces and instruments that are meant to represent country music as a whole. These individual, one-dimensional shapes are imposed on a vaguely southern, pastoral backdrop. This representation of country music is almost exactly what we encounter in written attempts to describe the genre. As Jeffrey Manuel points out, the history of country music is intertwined with a "set of ideals and customs" prescribed to the "plain white folk".1 These plain white folk themselves are often given a physical description: "Fat or lean, blonde or brunet, the Southern type could be discerned by travelers".2
Written histories have taken perceived elements of white folk culture, pasted them onto a general image of white folk, oriented the whole scene in a generic Southern landscape, and called it country music. Perhaps the ridiculousness of a mural in Alabama with sixteen heads of varying sizes shows us how this description is a mere caricature of country music.
Mural to Country Music in Bristol, Virginia
Meanwhile, in Bristol, Virginia, a similar sight meets our eyes. Yet another mural depicts symbols of country music painted together onto a brick wall. More white figures holding guitars and banjos dominate the scene, reinforcing the public perception of country music as a genre of the "plain white folk". This mural, created by Tim and Murphy White, reveals another element of our perception of country music as well. The words at the top claim the town as a "birthplace" of country music, seeming to attribute a whole genre to a few white guys in a southern town. While most people are aware that the genre's origins aren't quite so easy to pin down, this mythology of country music as a genre spawned by some white folk in the rural south is still pervasive. The use of white figures and common symbols of country music such as the banjo to represent the genre only perpetuates this view.
Murals such as those in Alabama and Virginia show us an image of country music that is easy to swallow. They depict a genre that can be neatly boxed up and captured by a mythical sense of southern, white culture. But as Jeffrey Manuel points out, no genre of music is ever this easily defined. We need to move past thinking that such basic tropes of southern culture can characterize an entire history and genre of music.

Railroad Songs and Gandy Dancers
Posted on February 26, 2018 by Kelsey Anderson
Railroad songs were a genre created by laborers for the railroads in America. The origin of the genre is disputed and rather mysterious. We can all recall "I've been Working on the Railroad" (pre Civil War), but it is unclear if that is one example of the genres earliest pieces. Archie Green suggests in "Railroad Songs and Ballads: From the Archive of Folk Song" that "[the songs] welled directly out of the experiences of workers and were composed literally to the rhythm of the handcar. Others were born in Tin Pan Alley rooms or bars. But regardless of birthplace, songs moved up and down the main line or were shunted onto isolated spur tracks."1 John Lomax had recorded many of these railroad songs. Here is an example of one: http://www.loc.gov/item/lomaxbib000326/ 2
These songs were created by workers to entertain and convey stories up and down the rails. The subjects of the songs, that are recorded, range from the erotic, basic railroad construction, and common themes like love and loss. The creators of the railroads songs included African Americans and many immigrant people. Unfortunately there are little to no record of the songs created by immigrants in different languages and today there is no way of rediscovering those songs. These songs created by African Americans and immigrants created a new slang term for these people called "Gandy Dancers".
In the article "Country Music and the Souls of White Folk" by Erich Nunn, we get a sense of the effect that the Gandy Dancer's music has had on country music, we are told, "In My Husband, Jimmie Rodgers, a biography of her late husband published in 1935, Carrie Williamson ("Mrs. Jimmie") Rodgers presents Jimmie as a crucible in which the "darkey songs" he learned as a boy are transmuted by "the natural music in his Irish soul" into something distinctive and new."3 The songs that Carrie writes on were created by the African American men that worked of the rails and influenced Jimmie Rodgers.
Gandy Dancers used their songs as a method of keeping rhythm for the laborers of the railroad and striking in time amongst the laborers. Here is a short snippet of a documentary done on Gandy Dancers: 4
