First game : Madrid Vs Tottenham - One of the best matches two watch as both the teams would have an attacking display and even though spurs are having a dream run no one can count them out. Real likely to win the match and many people would put their money on them but my bet would go on spurs and they are turning to be the dark horses of this years Champions League. There is nothing to loose for the English side but Real Madrid have everything to loose. Mourinho would definitely like to show of another milestone in his career and move on . Ronaldo would miss the first leg due to injury and that would be a nice advantage for Spurs and hope they can capitalize on it.
Second game : Chelsea Vs Manchester United - this match would definitely see an English team reach the semis and probably reach the finals. Both teams having equal chances as United have confidence of being first in the league and Chelsea have the edge as they beat United recently. Its a match where any prediction can go wrong. Its all on the hands of players how they play on the day.
Third game : Barcelona Vs Shakthar - Barcelona clear favourites for this game. Shakhtar coming of a strong display in the last round against Roma showed that they are not scared of any team and would for sure play attacking against Barca. Barca goalie should tighten up his gloves and be ready to make some hot saves.
Fourth game : Inter Milan Vs Schalke04 - Inter getting the easiest draw in the quarters. Schalke not attacking much but play technically. Inter would like to comfortably reach the semis unlike the round of 16 they won which had a lot of drama. Schalke's main player would be Raul as he is eager to keep making an impact in Europe and show that he is still present.

Home Local Nashville Why Should the African American Community Vote for the Transit?
Walter Searcy has long been a pillar of the African American community in Nashville, as well as a longtime board member of MTA. He recently shared his thoughts on the upcoming transit vote on May 1, including why he was voting for it and encouraging others to do so with him.
Why should the African American community vote for transit on May 1?
There are many reasons, but I'll just focus on a handful of the most important. African Americans are one of the most transit sensitive populations in our city. Many are extremely cost burdened by transportation, no matter what mode they use. When you couple this with the cost groceries and other necessities, many of us are near or at bankruptcy, needing to rely on subsidies to get by. A good transit system acts as a subsidy for people, alleviating the cost of living for those needing it most. For those of us that have tried to keep their old, beat up hooptie running for years, the cost of continual repairs, gas and parking vastly outweigh what you would pay a year for transit.
The jobs this plan will create are really important for the black community, and I can't say that enough. It's not just giving people employment, which it will do by the thousands, but when layered with the required DBE participation in its creation, it offers our community an opportunity for economic progress never seen before in our city.
The enhancement of crosstown bus routes, making rapid bus available for all and the construction of light rail will create true mobility for everyone. You won't have to go downtown and through Music City Central just to make transfers. You'll be able get from Bordeaux to Madison, or Antioch to Donelson in a fraction of the time it takes now. This plan is 100 percent not a downtown-centric proposal. Change will happen all over Davidson County.
Finally, this plan is the single most important step we can take for more affordable housing until we get dedicated funding for it. An increase in inventory is enhanced by the plan, particularly in transit oriented development districts. In places like Bordeaux, where there is more sprawl, there will be rehab grants available for existing housing, meaning singly family houses won't get eliminated.
What benefits would it bring me, my family, or the person beside me in the pew?
I'm a paraplegic and confined to wheelchair. I don't drive. I have to rely on family, friends, Lyft or Uber, and public transportation. Public transportation is by far the less intrusive and independent option for me, but that's if it's available! Right now, there aren't routes that come through my neighborhood during the day. If I have somewhere to be, I have to pay for a rideshare or inconvenience someone I know. I'm discouraged from taking public transportation.
For families, good transit helps everyone's schedule. Parents need reliable options besides themselves when it comes to getting their kids home from football or cheerleading practice after school. This is especially true for parents of kids that go to schools outside their zone. This plan puts 76 percent of residents within a half mile of transit.
I worked hard to get this car I have, now you're telling me to leave it at home?
First off, I'm not telling you that. What I'm saying is I want to give you other options to choose from. We are a car culture, no doubt. But when we get predictable, reliable and clean public transportation, I'm confident people will begin to change the culture. They will start wanting to leave their car at home and use transit to get to work or visit family and friends. And when they start taking public transportation, they will discover a whole new world, interacting with their neighbors and people from all over the city, creating a new community that would have never existed if not for transit. For the shyer types, you can put your headphones on and get work done on the way to school or your job!
What are the true motivations behind the opposition to the transit plan?
I don't confess to know all the reasons why the opposition is against this plan, but I can tell you that few are more pernicious than what's at the core of their why they are doing what they're doing, and that's racism.
The reality is that the principal funding source for the opposition is very rich and powerful group that spends millions of dollars a year to stop public projects that benefit minority communities, like mass transit.
There is a strong cultural history in our country, including in Nashville, of cities enacting racist and segregationist policies to stop black and brown people from getting good public transportation. This continues today.
In 1905, the black leaders of Nashville, led by Richard Henry Boyd and James C. Napier, came together to form the Union Transportation Company due to Nashville's Jim Crow laws. The company was created after a boycott by black people over a new law that required them to sit in specific designated areas in our city's streetcars.
Nashville's boycott was the largest urban transportation protest in America before the Montgomery Bus Boycott in the 1950s. Led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the African American community boycotted Montgomery's racist bus system for the same reason we did here in Nashville 50 years earlier: telling us where we can and can't go or sit, treating us as second-class citizens.
We are once again at a crossroads. These people may be using new terms and tactics, but their intent is the same, and the consequences just as insidious and harmful to our community.
The other group, I call them the "limousine liberals," may not believe they are being discriminatory but meanwhile being paid by the above people. The fact is that they are denying opportunities for progress for a community and its people that have historically had double or triple the unemployment rate as the rest of the country, that is more likely to live in sub-standard housing, and that is more likely to get pushed out of a city into the suburbs or further.
Developing a mass transit system can help solve many of these issues.
Finally, all these opposition groups that say they just want a better plan or want to go back to the drawing board are lying to you. Where were they in 2012 for NashvilleNext? What about the years of community input for nMotion? The answer is that they weren't there. They are only stepping up now because they know we are close to seeing this thing through.
Trust me, these people will disappear on May 2 if they get their way. They do not have our community's interests at heart.
Why are you voting for transit on May 1?
I'm originally from Chicago, and grew up in a household where my seniors didn't drive. It was an ordinary occurrence to see them wake up in the wee hours of morning and walk down to the bus stop, get on it to go to work and to get back home. We all took the city bus to work or to school. The only reason my dad took our family station wagon to work was because he had a second job with a parcel postal service!
When I came to Nashville in 1967 to attend college, the bus system was laughable. There was one bus that ran from Jefferson St. to downtown, which at the time had just been desegregated. My first job at Ferro Fiberglass on Spence Lane was a 24 hour operation and your shifts changed periodically. We really had no economic way to get to work using public transportation, especially if you worked the night shift. It made life for me and my peers tougher than it needed to be. It saddens me that today much of that is the same.
We can finally do something about it.
I foresee a day in Nashville where what neighborhood you live in doesn't determine who you are or what you do. I foresee a day when grandparents won't want to admit to their grandchildren that they were ever against bringing this plan to the people.
On May 1, I hope our community comes together and votes for transit.

The Nashville Teens
neilmach2 / January 4, 2014
Formed in Weybridge, Surrey – and at least 4,000 miles from Tennessee – 'The Nashville Teens' were the product of a merger between two local bands. The rather splendid result was that group boasted two lead singers – Ray Phillips and Arthur Sharp. Sharp was primarily the manager at AERCO Records -but spent his spare time gigging with the band. (AERCO – The Addlestone Electrical Radio Company – was based in Chertsey Road, Woking. They had an earlier HQ at Station Road, Addlestone.)
The 'Nashville Teens' original line-up also included John Hawken (piano), Mick Dunford (guitar), Pete Shannon Harris (bass) and Dave Maine (drums). Dave Maine was to be replaced by Barry Jenkins in 1963 (after a short stint from Roger Groome.) Jenkins went on to work with 'The Animals' in 1966 – leaving the space available for Groome to return.
During their time working their rock 'n' roll apprenticeship at the Star Club in Hamburg, the 'Nashville Teens' played alongside the 'Spencer Davis Group' and cut their first recordings as a backing band for Jerry Lee Lewis. They then performed on Carl Perkins' hit single "Big Bad Blues" (May 1964).
They were spotted by Mickie Most at one of their live gigs; Subsequently, Most was chosen to produce their début single in June 1964 – an inspired interpretation of the John D. Loudermilk song "Tobacco Road". The single was successful on both sides of the Atlantic and reached No.6 in the UK charts. Both " Big Jim " Sullivan and Jimmy Page played guitar in the studio for this recording. The follow-up single – another Loudermilk song titled "Google Eye" – reached number 10 in the UK.
After returning from the German clubs , 'The Nashville Teens' settled back into the Surrey landscape. In 1966 pianist John Hawken joined Keith Relf of The Yardbirds to form 'Renaissance.'

The Jakarta Post reports that Indonesian firm PT Dian Swastatika is buying a stake in local telecoms operator PT Smartfren Telecom (branded Smartfren), via an IDR1 trillion (USD110.7 million) mandatory convertible bonds deal. Both companies are affiliated to the Indonesian conglomerate Sinar Mas Group; Dian Swastatika's operations are in the energy and infrastructure segments. Dian Swastatika has announced it will take ten of Smartfren's bond series, priced at IDR100 billion each, from another firm, PT Valensia Persada. The bonds – the sale of which took place on 20 February this year – will be converted into equity within five years, it added. Upon completion, Dian Swastatika will own a 15.4% stake in CDMA-based telecoms provider Smartfren – based on a valuation by public surveyor Doli Siregar & Rekan. It is understood the deal will also increase Dian Swastatika's firm value to USD4.40 billion from USD4.34 billion.
Smartfren is currently owned by three Sinar Mas-linked groups — PT Wahana Inti Nusantara, PT Global Nusa Data and PT Bali Media Telekomunikasi — each of which controls a roughly 20% share of the telco. A further 31% stake is in public hands and the remainder is owned by Dubai's Jerash Investment Ltd. In recent years Smartfren has struggled to grow in a highly competitive domestic market. It booked a net loss of IDR1.56 trillion in 9M11, a 48% increase from the corresponding period of 2010.

Mauer doubles, catches in emotional likely finale with Twins
By PATRICK DONNELLYOctober 1, 2018 GMT
Minnesota Twins' Joe Mauer, the subject of retirement talk, acknowledges a standing ovation as he donned catcher's gear and caught for one pitch against a Chicago White Sox batter in the ninth inning of a baseball game Sunday, Sept. 30, 2018, in Minneapolis. Mauer began his career as a catcher before switching to first base. The Twins won 5-4. (AP Photo/Jim Mone)
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Joe Mauer isn't sure if Sunday marked the end of his time with the Minnesota Twins. Just in case, though, the regular season finale turned into a farewell befitting his remarkable career with his hometown team.
Mauer doubled in his final at-bat, received one more pitch as catcher, and then walked off to an extended ovation as Minnesota likely said goodbye to the longtime face of its franchise during an emotional 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox.
The 35-year-old Mauer was playing the final game of an eight-year, $184 million contract. So far, he's been noncommittal regarding his plans for next year and beyond.
"It's been an emotional rollercoaster. I'm not 100 percent sure," he said. "I want to make sure I have some time just to take a deep breath and really be behind that decision."
There certainly were plenty of touches that made Sunday's game feel like a final appearance, none more dramatic than Mauer's surprise appearance behind the plate in the ninth.
Mauer emerged from the dugout in his catching gear, the first time he'd worn it since late 2013, when a series of concussions forced him to move to first base. He stood alone at home plate as fans, teammates and opponents showered him with applause.
The 2009 AL MVP caught one pitch from Matt Belisle. Then, with the theme music from "The Natural" playing over the speakers, he walked off to a final standing ovation and was replaced by Chris Gimenez.
"We had an opportunity to do that, and I didn't think that was going to be a possibility ever," Mauer said. "I'm glad I took that opportunity."
Twins manager Paul Molitor said he'd worked out the logistics of the moment with White Sox manager Rick Renteria before the game.
"Rick was fantastic. I told him I didn't want to disrespect the game or the integrity of winning or losing," Molitor said. "(I said) it would be a one-pitch scenario and we assured him that we would try to throw a ball as best as we could. And it worked out."
White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada was the batter at the time and said he was more than happy to do his part.
"When I went to home plate, he said, 'Hey, can you take the first pitch?'" Moncada said. "It was very exciting, and an emotional moment. I was just glad to be part of that."
Mauer is a three-time AL batting champ and six-time All-Star over 15 major league seasons, all with Minnesota. A three-sport star from St. Paul's Cretin-Derham Hall High School, Mauer was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft and made his debut with the Twins in 2004.
Even his final plate appearance was classic Mauer. He sent a line drive into the left-center gap off Juan Minaya, then hustled to second, sliding in just ahead of left fielder Nicky Delmonico's throw.
When asked if he thought about playing it safe to avoid getting thrown out in potentially his last at-bat, Mauer shrugged and said, "That's just how I play the game. I saw that (Delmonico) was moving a little to his left, and in a one-run game I'm going to try to get into scoring position. You've got to keep playing the game."
Max Kepler and Jake Cave homered for the Twins, and reliever Andrew Vasquez (1-0) earned his first major league victory with one perfect inning of relief. Trevor May replaced Belisle and got three straight outs with the tying run on second in the ninth to earn his third save.
Dylan Covey (5-14) gave up five runs over six innings.
MAUER MOMENTS
The day was filled with memorable moments for Mauer, who started at first base and batted leadoff. For Sunday home games, each Twins player is joined at his position by a young fan for the national anthem. On Sunday, Mauer's 5-year-old twin daughters, Emily and Maren, surprised him by running out to meet him at first base.
"I thought I had it going pretty good, holding it together, and then my two girls ran out on the field and I lost it there for a moment.
The crowd of 30,144 gave Mauer an extended standing ovation before his first at-bat. He then shook hands with umpire Jim Reynolds and White Sox catcher Wellington Castillo before facing Covey.
If Mauer retires after this season, he will finish second in Twins history in games played, third in runs scored, second in hits, first in doubles, and second in walks. He broke the Twins' career record for times on base earlier in the homestand.
UNHAPPY ENDINGS
The White Sox lost their 100th game of the year, the first time they've done so since 1970.
"As far as the numbers, they are what they are," Renteria said. "I think I have to reflect on how we got to that point and some of the things we have to do to correct it, and move on."
Meanwhile, the Twins won their sixth straight game to end the season, giving them 78 victories — seven fewer than last year, when they were the AL's second wild card.
But Molitor clearly feels bullish about the team's chances to return to the playoffs in 2019. When asked if the organization would give Mauer another memorable departure if he returned to play next year, the Twins manager replied, "Next year at this time, we'll be planning for our next game, so I don't think the situation will be the same."
WHIFF WATCH
Moncada struck out once, giving him a major league-leading 217. That's just six behind the record of 223, set by Mark Reynolds of the Rockies in 2009.
IN THE STANDS
The Twins announced an official home attendance of 1,959,197, which included two "home" games played in Puerto Rico in April. That total is their lowest since 2004, when they still played at the Metrodome.

Loren Brovarnik is probably getting sick of 90 Day Fiance fans saying baby Shai looks just like Alexei
Fri Apr 24, 2020 at 11:21am ET
By Alicea James

The 90 Day Fiance family just welcomed a cute new member to the team, thanks to Loren and Alexei Brovarnik.
Although the world is in a state of sadness and despair due to the ongoing battle with COVID-19, the Brovarniks just received something they can smile about, amid all the madness.
We've been following the couple's journey on the TLC spin-off, 90 Day Fiance: What Now. The show gives fans updates on the lives of their favorite duos from past episodes of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days.
Alexei and Loren revealed the exciting news of their pregnancy on the show, and they've also been updating fans on their pregnancy journey on social media.
Alexei and Loren welcome their son
The husband and wife welcomed their newborn son into the world on April 14 and quickly took to Instagram to share the happy news.
This is the first child for both Loren and Alexei, and luckily, they had a safe and healthy delivery.
The new member of the Brovarnik family was born in Miami Beach, Florida at 4:26 p.m, weighing 5 pounds and 10 ounces, and measuring 19 inches.
The reality tv alums took a few days before revealing the baby's name or his photo to the world. When they did, fans flooded their social media with congratulatory messages.

The baby looks exactly like Alexei
A week after posting the news of his birth, the couple revealed their baby boy's name, Shai Josef Brovarnik – along with a photo of the newborn.

One thing that was obvious to fans is the resemblance between Shai and his dad.
If you scroll through the comment section under photos of Shai, almost everyone is noting the uncanny resemblance.
A post shared by Loren Brovarnik (@lorenbrovarnik)
The new mama even took to Instagram stories to comment about it. "I was just thinking about it and I should've said that for every time somebody said that Baby Brov looks like Alex they should pay me … I'd be richer than Bill Gates right now."
During a recent interview, the 31-year-old gave an update about her baby boy, sharing his name's meaning. The couple put quite a bit of thought into naming their first child.
"Shai means 'gift,' and he's definitely our gift," she said.
She also noted the sentimental meaning, saying, "The name breakdown: Shai is after my grandfather Sam, and Josef is after Alexei's grandfather Josef."
By all accounts, mom, dad, and baby Shai are doing just fine, and are keeping safe in their Florida home.
The couple has been sharing photos of Shai on Instagram.

Copper(I) iodide is the chemical compound with the formula CuI; it is also known as cuprous iodide. It is useful in a variety of applications ranging from organic synthesis to cloud seeding.
Copper(I) iodide is white, but samples are often tan or even, when found in nature as mineral marshite, reddish brown, but such color is due to impurities. It is common for iodides to become discolored because of the easy oxidation of the iodide anion to iodine.
In the laboratory, copper(I) Iodide is prepared by simply mixing an aqueous solutions of sodium or potassium iodide and a soluble copper(II) salt such copper sulfate.
The CuI2 immediately decomposes to iodine and insoluble copper(I) iodide, releasing I2.
This reaction has been employed as a means of assaying copper(II) samples, since the evolved I2 can be analyzed by redox titration. Copper(I) iodide can also prepared by heating iodine and copper in concentrated hydriodic acid, HI.
CuI is poorly soluble in water (0.00042 g/L at 25 °C), but it dissolves in the presence of NaI or KI to give the linear anion [CuI2]−. Dilution of such solutions with water reprecipitates CuI. This dissolution-precipitation process is employed to purify CuI, affording colorless samples.
Copper(I) iodide, like most "binary" (containing only two elements) metal halides, is an inorganic polymer. It has a rich phase diagram, meaning that it exists in several crystalline forms. It adopts a zinc blende structure below 390 °C (ɣ-CuI), a wurtzite structure between 390 and 440 °C (β-CuI), and a cubic structure above 440 °C (α-CuI). The ions are tetrahedrally coordinated when in the zinc blende or the wurtzite structure, with a Cu-I distance of 2.338 Å. Copper(I) bromide and copper(I) chloride also transform from the zinc blende structure to the wurtzite structure at 405 and 435 °C, respectively. Therefore, the longer the copper - halide bond length, the lower the temperature needs to be to change the structure from the zinc blende structure to the wurtzite structure. The interatomic distances in copper(I) bromide and copper(I) chloride are 2.173 and 2.051 Å, respectively.
CuI is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. In combination with 1,2- or 1,3 diamine ligands, CuI catalyzes the conversion of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl bromides into the corresponding iodides. NaI is the typical iodide source and dioxane is a typical solvent. Aryl halides are used to form carbon-carbon and carbon-heteroatom bonds in process such as the Heck, Stille, Suzuki, and Ullmann type coupling reactions. Aryl iodides, however, are more reactive than the corresponding aryl bromides or aryl chlorides. 2-Bromo-1-octen-3-ol and 1-nonyne are coupled when combined with dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II), CuI, and diethylamine to form 7-methylene-8-hexadecyn-6-ol.
CuI is used in cloud seeding1, altering the amount or type of precipitation of a cloud, or their structure by dispersing substances into the atmosphere which increase water's ability to form droplets or crystals. CuI provides a sphere for moisture in the cloud to condense around, causing precipitation to increase and cloud density to decrease.
The structural properties of CuI allow CuI to stabilize heat in nylon in commercial and residential carpet industries, automotive engine accessories, and other markets where durability and weight are a factor.

Apocalypse with pictures: Six
Posted on November 27, 2022 November 27, 2022 by Anonymole
The following morning, Tess insists that Mary leave with a jar of pickled beans and one of five remaining preserved peaches. "Knowing that you're on the lookout, Mary, has eased my mind no end," she says, pressing the containers into Mary's arms. I hope she realizes how precious these are. "Ellie and I are set on investigating the town. Is there anything we should be wary of? Anything you want us to try and find for you?"
Mary shifts into her heavy jacket after having spent the night on the couch, the blankets she used returned to a neat pile. She accepts the canvas satchel containing the jars and a spare box of strike-anywhere matches. "Town, eh?" She fondles the shotgun shells pulled from her pocket. "Ain't nothin' good to be found there, Tess. But, if you wander past the hardware store, and it ain't burned to the ground, they had a garden section…"
"Tools? Seeds, if they survived?"
"Fertilizer."
"Ah, yes. If we find any, we'll be sure to bring them back."
Midge and Parker wave timidly from behind their mother's legs. Mary returns a splayed-finger wave.
Hank announces that he and Ellie will accompany Mary as far as the Scandinavian scrollwork house where they'll try and revive the old Wagoneer there.
"The Tollersons, Wendy and Jurl," Mary says, as the three of them trudge up the switchback road. "Kept to themselves, mostly. When the news of the plague came, I told them, stay put, weather out a few months. Did they listen?"
Hank pulls a utility wagon loaded with tools and a spare car battery, its wheels squeak with disuse. "Ellie mentioned it was you who buried the folk in the valley."
"Couldn't bear the thought of them, their bodies, rottin' in their homes. Critters finding 'em and feedin'…"
"Decent of you," Hanks says. "Hard ground."
"Aye." Mary kicks the wagon's loudest wheel, silencing it. "I had help, for a time."
Father and daughter walk in silence. Hank can feel the woman's need to frame her story.
"Ol' Benjamin, older 'n me, lived, other side of the valley." Mary points behind them to an area the family had yet to investigate. "We take turns, diggin', wrappin' and hauling out the dead. He uh, he got crazy, in the end. Mad. Come at me with a pickaxe, thinkin' I be the last one to fill a grave…"
The three of them arrive at the Tollersons' home, the pair of raw-earth mounds a stark reminder.
"No markers?" Ellie asks.
"I know who's who." Mary dips her chin and walks on.
"We'll come by, next few days, if that's alright?" Ellie calls out.
Mary simply waves her wave and continues to shuffle up the road.
The two get to work on the Jeep. After repeated attempts to crank the engine, Hank removes the air filter and squirts fresh gasoline, salvaged from a red-plastic can straight into the carburetor. The engine pops and chugs and eventually catches, settling into a rhythmic purr. They load up, ease the brake and roll down the grade to their adopted home.
"Three hours, tops." Hank hands his wife and daughter wind-up watches. "It's eleven. You don't show by 2PM, I'm packin' up the children and coming to find you."
Tess gazes warmly upon her husband. "We know the score, honey." She dons the watch, holds it up as a mirror to Ellie's. "Three hours is more than enough time."
"But if things get um, complicated," Ellie says, cautiously, "it's still a hundred yards south of the tallest building, right, Father?"
"Our regroup position?" Hank nods. "But it better not come to that."
Tess rests her hand on Hank's forearm. "It won't. In and out. No risky explorations. We know, dear."
"Don't forget the bunnies and bears." Midge pleads. Her collection of plush toys, collected from bedrooms around the valley, has continued to grow.
"And candy, and Legos and…" Parker adds.
Ellie kneels and fist-bumps her siblings' tiny hands. "Ten-four, commanders."
The two women, Ellie driving, head north into the town of Craton, once the West's center for cherry-jelly candy, now one of a thousand decimated boroughs stripped of human voices, devoid of human activity.
"Jacob's map indicates that the river divides the old town from the urbanized areas to the east." Tess glasses the two-lane, sweeping her binoculars in a tight angle looking for signs of recent habitation. "Our best bet is the stripmall. There's an Ace hardware there."
Ellie's eyes crinkle. "Told you Mary was harmless."
"Some old hermit-woman making friends with wolves does not count as harmless." Tess looks up and directs her daughter right. "And the fact that ol' Ben bought the wrong end of her shotgun…"
"Still. It's nice to have an ally."
"And why we're going to ingratiate ourselves as much as possible. Stop here. Let's see who might be watching for travelers."
Ellie tucks the Wagoneer behind a ground-level billboard and they wait, each studying the layout of buildings and abandoned cars.
"Without traffic, why position sentries?" Ellie murmurs.
"Fair point," Tess agrees. "Maybe patrols, then. Let's give it another fifteen."
"Here we go," Ellie says, pulling her binoculars from her face.
Trotting across the roadway, a pack of seven or eight feral dogs make their way to the far end of the storefronts. They cycle in turn, sniffing at the broken windows, moving to the next. They cover ground quickly, finally pausing at a Korean shop which advertises ramen and bbq with garish posters still hanging in the few windows left intact.
The dogs take turns raising their noses, hesitant.
Both women recoil when the pack scatters, one spaniel-looking hound bawls as only a wounded dog can do, an arrow sprouting from its side. It twirls, reaching back trying to bite at the shaft when another arrow lances from within the restaurant and takes the dog in the neck. An oppressive silence returns. Errant oak leaves tumble across the parking lot, their skittering the only sound.
Tess and Ellie remain frozen. Minutes flow by, achingly slow.
A dark, rag-draped form scrambles through the glassless door, stands over the kill and rotates its head, seeming to await challengers. When none show, he or she—it's impossible to tell, their height is not so great as to indicate male, nor its stance furtive enough to indicate female—steps on the dog and yanks the arrows free. The hunter loops a cord around the dog's back legs and begins dragging the corpse up the covered walkway, disappearing around the far corner.
"Phew," Ellie exhales. "Solo, you think?"
"If you had mates, wouldn't you bring them along?"
"Hmm, he did stop and look around. Like he was daring the competition."
"He?" Tess asks. "Habit, most likely."
"I saw a beard."
"Ah. Pretty good shootin'," Tess admits.
"All the shitty-shots are dead, right?"
"True. All the more reason to avoid his territory."
They give the huntsman another ten minutes to distance himself and Tess has Ellie relocate the car next to where the garden center had been, its high gates torn away, decorative bricks and black plastic pots scattered in disarray.
Inside they discover twenty or so sealed bags of 5-10-10 fertilizer. They take them all. They scrounge around and collect spare tools, shovels, a pitchfork, a pair of axes, and Ellie shoves aside a display stand, behind which she discovers a variety of seed packets.
"Bonus. Watermelon and white corn."
Tess takes the wheel for the return. "Let's drive up main street, maybe there's a bakery or a coffee shop that hasn't been cleared out of staples."
"Or a toy store," Ellie says, giving her mother a pleading look.
"You spoil those kids worse than I do."
Tess rolls down the window and pulls the baseball cap from her head. Her red hair unfurls and she shakes it loose in the wind.
Ellie wiggles her hand in the air stream like a trout. "Life is never going to be normal again, is it?"
"Never's a long time, hun. We get past the age of killing and eating dogs…"
"Or killing each other."
"That too. We find other like minded folk, build a community."
"But, I thought you said that no one was immune. The sickness is still out there."
"It is." Tess pulls her head back and replaces her cap, hooks her hair behind her ears. "But we have a secret. The cure."
"Your research?"
"That's why we had to leave. My research wasn't sanctioned. Wasn't even allowed. But with so many dying around us… The kill rate was nearly one-hundred percent, I took a chance and, well, experimented on myself."
"And it didn't kill you."
"No, it didn't. So I gave it to all of us."
"Jeezus Mom, we're the cure?"
Tess' foot comes off the gas pedal. Up ahead a faded blue, F-150 pickup has been positioned across the road, one that hadn't been there on their outward journey.
"Shit." Tess glances behind them. Another rusted truck has come from nowhere to block their retreat. She darts her eyes about looking for an escape route. The ditches that run down the sides of the two-lane are too deep to ford. She gives her daughter a heavy look. "Places, everyone," she whispers.

I think you're hitting your stride now a bit more with the present tense style. At first the shorter sentences didn't seem to jibe well with longer descriptive ones (hard to explain, it's like the narrative styles sounded different), but they sound more melded here.
mydangblog says:
I love the way you picked up the thread from that last installment but didn't reveal it right away–kind of confirmed what I was hoping to hear. But again, you leave me on this cliff, and that last line! So good!
"are too deep to ford." Well damn, y'all, getchersefs a Jeep or one a them Rover come Over jobs.
I saw "no comments" which is a lousy thing, so I read until my eyes crossed. "The Stand" fan fic is starting to show. And if your reputation as doom with feet is at all valuable to you, you'll stop the occasional Hallmark 'there might be light at the end of the tunnel' moments immediately. All I could glom from the trucks is redneck vampire rapists who need to be gutted mid atrocity by a long, sharpened curled horn. from a bighorn sheep. A giant corkscrew four inches below the navel, as a reach around from the back. Guts galore.
That would involve tossing in a large, hairy, bearskin clad mumbler who is friendly and protective, like a man dog. Neutered in an accident with a mountain lion while thinking he was alone and taking a leak. That way he's not a threat to the women folk and speaks bear.
Why do you bother?
Intrigue? Altruistic sacrifice? Our work is not our children. Which prompts a question I'll leave on the table. With an aside about how the Internet shouldn't be the place where people drop by, say their shit and miss the fact that a character stands who never sat. Or lousy phrasing. Or disjointed logic. But it is.
But while we're at it, and since you're determined you don't need PWA or similar just for a run through, drop a link to a thesaurus in your taskbar so your favorite adjective only shows up once, he pleaded. Pleadingly. Plead.

Thousands of dancing aunties in Xi'an pledge to keep the noise down
More than a thousand women in Xi'an participating in the final round of a square dancing competition actually took an oath to create less noise pollution while dancing in the future.
The group dancing, or guangchangwu, is a preferred activity among middle-aged and retired women in China who find it a good way to keep fit and socialize. It's also often seen as a nuisance to local residents who must endure the dancers' music blaring out of speakers on a nightly occurrence.
These particular dancers were from 27 teams in the second Weiyang district square dancing competition final. The evening before the final competition, the women gathered and pledged to produce less noise pollution while dancing in the future. They also promised to hold the square dance sessions only between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with the volume kept under 60 decibels. They said that the pledge aimed to promote fitness in a civilized way and allowed residents have a silent night.
Despite earning ire from Chinese urbanites, 75 percent of Shanghai residents said in a poll recently that they supported the square dancing sessions, as they believed it could help the middle-aged simultaneously exercise and form a sense of community. Only 8.6 percent of residents cited the dancing aunties as being a lead contributor to noise pollution.
Perhaps poll participants would be less forgiving in Wuhan or Changsha, where local residents gathered to throw feces at dancing aunties in protest against their noisy nightly activity.

The stage is set for another global credit downturn, but the next crisis, if any, is unlikely to be as dramatic as in 2008-2009. While global debt levels are higher than a decade ago, contagion risk is lower. That's according to a special report published by S&P Global Ratings, titled: "Next Debt Crisis: Will Liquidity Hold?"
The report discusses the latest trends in the credit cycle and opines on whether we are heading for another full-blown crisis. To come to its conclusions, S&P compared the debt-related metrics of corporates, governments, and households with those recorded during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. This special report is part of the "When The Credit Cycle Turns" research series, which started in 2018.
Total global debt has surged by about 50 per cent since the last global financial crisis, led by major-economy governments and Chinese non-financial corporates, while global debt-to-GDP ratios have risen to more than 231 per cent, compared with 208 per cent in June 2008.
Despite higher leverage, the risk of contagion is mitigated by high investor confidence in major Western governments' hard currency debt. The high ratio of domestic funding for Chinese corporate debt also reduces contagion risk, because S&P believes the Chinese government has the means and the motive to prevent widespread defaults.
In looking at nearly 12,000 corporates globally, S&P found the proportion of companies having aggressive or highly leveraged financial risk profiles has risen slightly, to 61 per cent. The higher risk is partly driven by Chinese corporates, which now make up about two-fifths of debt S&P categorises as aggressive and highly leveraged.
While S&P believes contagion risk is lower than in 2008-2009, risks are elevated. Due to extremely low interest rates, the past decade has seen a migration of investor flows into speculative-grade and non-traditional fixed-income products. These markets tend to be less liquid and more volatile, and could seize in the event of a financial shock or panic.
Even within the investment-grade arena, there is also now a much higher issuer concentration in the 'BBB' rating category, with issuer ratings trending down globally over the past decade.
Other risk areas include derivatives, exchange-traded funds, private debt, leveraged finance and certain types of infrastructure. About 80 per cent of leveraged loans outstanding are now "covenant-lite" – indicating protection for investors has decreased – and this is up from 15 per cent a decade ago.
While default risks have been low in recent years, this could change as money costs increase and global economic growth tapers. S&P economists recently revised their assessment of the risk of a US recession in the next 12 months to 20 per cent-25 per cent, from 15 per cent-20 per cent late last year.
S&P Global Ratings analyst Alexandra Dimitrijevic said: "A perfect storm of realised risks across geographies and asset classes could trigger a systemically damaging downturn. This downside scenario reflects an increased reliance on global capital flows and functioning secondary market liquidity."

"You are travelling. Your future is frozen. Rapidly, you are jettisoned from the blank unknown to the bright clear world." — Sam Shepard
It's an American instinct to head out for some other place when home becomes too much, or to take the road away from Here to points west or north when tempted by the far side of the horizon. After all, in the vast, desolate frontier of the Americas, we are all descendants of people who have come from somewhere else. And both rootlessness and restlessness are born out of exile.
This is a vision of the West, mythic and real, and of a generation that is disappearing but whose ideas and dreams have been passed on to some of us.
Has the western landscape been vanquished by shopping malls and freeways or is it still a lyric and loping symbol of freedom and possibility?
Tom Wolfe said that you can't ever go home again because home has ceased to exist except in the mothballs of memory.
Maybe both stories are true. What's real anyway?
I imagine like Sam, the "loner who doesn't want to be alone" and whose autobiographical reveries, poetry and iconography have helped fuel this imaginative landscape of the American West, we all feel a little bit like castaways, adrift in the 21st century, ever less sure of rescue.
In the old atlas maps of America, the main routes were red and the back roads blue—that mysterious cast of sky blue in those brief moments just before dawn and a little after dusk. Those hours entre chien et loup is when the pull of the open road, the thin blue ones that drift like smoke, strangely beckons us through gates where one can lose themself.
These pages are daydreams from and to those of us on a new path towards wherever it turns out to lead.
Oh for this one rare occurrence
Gladly would I give ten thousand pieces of gold!
A hat is on my head, a bundle on my back,
And my staff, the refreshing breeze and the full moon.
— Dwight Goddard

Personal trainer and drummer Jay, (31) and his model girlfriend Leah, (28) celebrated their 100-day anniversary before quickly moving in together.
"My pick-up line was 'I think we should just kiss for 30 seconds and if we don't like it we can stop'," laughs Jay. Leah said "fine" and the rest is history!
Both have boundless energy and are looking to build new careers in the world of home hotelling with their romantic beach shack. "We started our Instant Hotel to future proof our life. We're going to need something after PT, music and modelling," explains Jay. "People might think we're pretty, but we're more than that," says Leah of the couple's strategy to get ahead. "We're clever!" adds Jay.
Smack bang in the heart of Portsea, this gorgeous, funky little beach house exudes personality. Sitting on a large block, this bright little gem gives you plenty of room to move. A hop, skip and a jump away, the beach is the perfect spot to relax with a great book or take a boat ride on the water. Mornington Peninsula is known for its boutique wineries and natural beauty and this beach bungalow won't disappoint.
When and why did you start renting out your property to holiday makers?
Jay: We started our Instant Hotel to future proof our life and give us another option to work towards.
What do you love about your property?
Leah: We love the relaxed style and space of the beach house and the great location. It's close to everything: the surf, the bay, the village of Portsea and the famous Portsea pub!
What makes a good Instant Hotel guest?
Jay: Someone who has common sense! Leah: A good hotel guest is respectful and understanding when staying in someone else's home. It is important to treat it with care and obey the rules and most importantly, have fun.
What will you be looking for when scoring your competitors' properties?
Jay: Practicality and comfort are my big ones! Leah: I will be looking at the entire experience in regard to my voting. Activities and attractions are a priority to me. Inside the Instant Hotel, privacy, comfort and cleanliness are the main qualities which will determine high scores.
Good location, near shops and activities, clean and tidy, comfortable beds, aircon/heating and privacy.
Poor climate control, any noise while sleeping, poor shower pressure, bad pillows and bedding.
Leah: Jay and I are here to learn and enjoy the experience, wining the competition would be an amazing bonus!

Informal public consultation on Mexico City's New Airport (NAICM) planned for October 25-28
President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO), who will take office on December 1, is organizing an informal public consultation on October 25-28 to purportedly decide the fate of the Mexico City's New International Airport (NAICM). During the electoral campaign earlier in 2018, AMLO had pledged to carry out the consultation if elected president, arguing that NAICM is a pointless investment stained by mismanagement and diversion of public funds. Reports indicate that the consultation, which is not endorsed by incumbent President Enrique Peña Nieto, will take place in 538 municipalities nationwide, in 1,073 polling stations installed by AMLO's political party. Voters will be asked whether or not the construction of NAICM, initiated in 2015, should continue. The incoming president had previously announced that rather than funding NAICM, he would seek to expand existing infrastructure near the capital, including Mexico City's International Airport (MEX) and Toluca's International Airport (TLC). He further proposed to convert Santa Lucía Air Base into civilian use.
NAICM is one of Mexico's most controversial infrastructure projects in recent memory. Planned as a solution to growing air traffic in the capital, although 5 billion USD were invested thus far, construction progress is reportedly at approximately 30%. Detractors of the project criticize delays in construction times, a steep rise in costs, and the alleged existence of widespread corruption in construction contracts. Additional criticism has been raised over the location of NAICM, with some geologists claiming the ground is unsuitable to handle an airport, highlighting possible subsidence risks as well as other environmental impacts. Meanwhile, supporters of the NAICM argue that the project will bring many benefits to the national economy, enabling Mexico City to become a major regional transportation hub, subsequently warning about the opportunity costs associated with cancelling the project. In this sense, although AMLO has pledged to cancel construction of NAICM, he is facing considerable pressure from political and business sectors to maintain the project alive. Bearing in mind that the consultation is considered highly irregular, and that only 1,073 polling stations will be installed nationwide, AMLO is unlikely to gain sufficient legitimacy so as to make a final decision based on the polls alone. Although AMLO expressed the results would be binding, showing confidence his supporters would vote his way, we assess that the move likely comes as a result of his electoral pledges, and do not necessarily reflect a final resolve to shut down NAICM. It is likely that the poll is part of AMLO's efforts to show consistency, and used as a forerunner for a formal consultation after he is invested president, especially if most voters decide against further constructing the airport.
