A Hamilton councillor's bid to cap the number of payday loan outlets in the city cleared another hurdle Tuesday when it was unanimously approved by the city's planning committee.
Coun. Matthew Green proposed the legislation, which will allow only one lender to operate in each of the city's 15 wards, in an effort to limit "predatory" behaviour by payday loan companies. He says the businesses target low-income communities, whose members often turn to the businesses in desperation, but fall further into debt because of the high-interest rates and fees that come with the loans.
Green said it will become a law if it's ratified at a meeting in two weeks, giving council time to mull over an exemption to the proposed cap requested Tuesday by a councillor with the Flamboro Downs casino in her ward.

Activists across Canada demand fair banking for low-income people
Opinion | Time for Ontario to ban predatory payday loan operators
$14 minimum wage, free pharmacare for young people, other Ontario regulatory changes start Jan. 1
Despite the exemption request, Green said he thinks the cap "will pass unanimously, if not overwhelmingly unanimously."
Hamilton is one of the few cities in Ontario to consider such legislation, adding to its ongoing crusade against payday loan companies. It previously required them to be licensed, to educate the public on how their rates compare with traditional lenders and to share information on credit counselling with customers.
Green's attack on the lenders came after he discovered that loans of $300 were costing up to $1,600 because of fees and annualized interest rates he found to be about 546 per cent.
"This is no way for people living in poverty to try to get by," he said. "The targeting of our inner city neighbourhoods was a bit pernicious ... we had more payday loans in some kilometres than Tim Hortons."
He believes payday loans companies should be abolished, but settled for fighting for the per-ward cap because the provincial and federal governments have allowed the process to continue and he lacks the power to overturn them.
The Ontario government decreased the cost of a payday loan from $21 to $18 per $100 in 2017 and dropped it down again to $15 this year.
The Canadian Consumer Finance Association, formerly the Canadian Payday Loan Association, argued that it provides a bridge for borrowers who are rejected by banks and would otherwise have to turn to illegal lenders.
Tony Irwin, CEO of the Canadian Consumer Finance Association, was puzzled as to why Hamilton has considered such legislation when he's been noticing the payday loan industry shrinking for years.
"It is a very difficult industry to operate in and there is lots of competition," Irwin said. "As locations find it more difficult to operate, some will face a difficult decision to close."
The policy that councillors will vote on won't immediately decrease the city's number of payday loan businesses to 15 to match its number of wards because it will grandfather in existing companies, but will prevent new ones from opening, said Tom Cooper, the director of the Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty Reduction.
He's noticed a "community crisis" has spawned from the 40 payday loan outlets he's counted in Hamilton, which are mostly "clustered together" in the city's downtown core.
Cooper said the proximity creates a "predatory" scenario because "we often see people who owe money go to one payday loan outlet and then go to a second to pay the first and then a few doors down again (to another) to pay the second one."

This article is part of our Team Previews series.
New England Patriots
On the heels of advancing to their eighth straight AFC Championship Game, the Patriots will look to match the Steelers' all-time mark of 16 appearances this season. Both teams have won a league-high six Super Bowl crowns, and another New England title would further cement an impressive dynasty.
When New England selected Jimmy Garoppolo 62nd overall in the 2014 draft, it looked like the team had finally settled on a successor for the gracefully aging Tom Brady, who was then 36 years old. It made sense at the time, but as Garoppolo's rookie contract wound down several years later, Brady was still going strong and Jimmy G was subsequently dealt to the 49ers. The Patriots appeared in the two Super Bowls that followed and are among the favorites to win this season's version of the game, so there's no doubt they made the right call. With journeyman Brian Hoyer in the last year of his deal, New England used a fourth-round pick on Jarrett Stidham in April. With no end in sight for Brady, whose rigorous training and nutritional routine have helped him delay the inevitable, it looks like the Patriots can afford to take it slow with Stidham. NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah noted Stidham "spins it as well or better than anybody in (the) entire 2019 draft class." Stidham's arrival could squeeze out 2018 seventh-rounder Danny Etling, and it's possible the Patriots draft another signal-caller as soon as next spring thanks to a boatload of 2020 draft capital. For now, though, Stidham profiles as Brady's heir apparent. Meanwhile, the closest that No. 12 has come to calling it a career arrived in the form of an April Fools' Day tweet.
Running back didn't seem to be a big need entering the draft, but the Patriots are taking no chances after seeing Sony Michel, Rex Burkhead and Jeremy Hill (currently a free agent) all miss time last season. That situation led to the brief deployment of WR/KR Cordarrelle Patterson (now with Chicago) at the position. Third-round selection Damien Harris was tabbed while intriguing QB and TE options were on the board, thus bolstering a deep and cost-controlled group led by Michel and pass-catching stalwart James White. Meanwhile, the versatile Burkhead, core special-teamer Brandon Bolden and UDFA Nick Brossette round out the unit. From a fantasy perspective, the ever-reliable White continues to possess PPR utility thanks to his steady involvement in the passing attack. When all its key cogs are healthy, however, the New England backfield can often perplex, with weekly variance in carry allotment dictated by game flow and matchup-specific game plans. A solid playoff run that culminated in an 18-94-1 effort in Super Bowl LIII bodes well for Michel's development in his second season. However, if Michel's knee woes flare up again, Harris could quickly excel, given that the 5-11, 215-pounder – who split carries with 2019 first-rounder Josh Jacobs at Alabama last year – also profiles as a physical downhill runner.
The retirement of tight end Rob Gronkowski leaves a void that can't be replaced by one player, and at wideout uncertainty surrounds the status of the talented, but often unavailable, Josh Gordon. Slot maven Julian Edelman is further removed from the torn ACL he suffered during the 2017 preseason, and he'll be counted on heavily while the team sorts out its evolving receiving corps. Gordon still could factor in, but he's indefinitely suspended by the NFL, with no imminent resolution on tap. Therefore, it's unsurprising the team used its top draft pick to add N'Keal Harry, a big-bodied pass catcher with top-shelf body control. If the rookie can establish any sort of red-zone rapport with Tom Brady, Harry could make an immediate impact. Not to be forgotten is returnee Phillip Dorsett, who was productive last year when the team was shorthanded. Additionally, newcomer Demaryius Thomas has an impressive track record, but he's very much a wild card, considering he's recovering from an Achilles injury. Also fighting to stick around are Dontrelle Inman, Maurice Harris and 2018 sixth-rounder Braxton Berrios. Ben Watson, back for a second stint with the team, joins free-agent addition Matt LaCosse atop the team's tight end depth chart, but Watson will sit out the team's first four games due to a suspension.
PIVOTAL PLAYER: Tom Brady
Though he turns 42 in August, Brady is showing no signs of slowing down as he approaches his 20th NFL season. With six Super Bowl rings already to his credit, he'll look to add to his collection in 2019. Brady is surrounded by a talented, deep and well-coached team, but larger-than-life tight end Rob Gronkowski surely will be missed.
RISING: Matt LaCosse
With Ben Watson set to miss time early on, LaCosse now profiles as the Patriots' top tight end to start the coming season. LaCosse is no Rob Gronkowski, but there's always the chance he'll end up clicking with Tom Brady.
FALLING: Rex Burkhead
The versatile running back had trouble staying on the field the past two years and managed just 3.3 yards per carry in 2018. Now that Damien Harris is on board, Burkhead's path to touches is muddled.
SLEEPER: Damien Harris
Harris' initial upside is modest, but the rookie could make a big splash if injuries lead to him heading the team's backfield at any point this season. He's well-equipped for the job after his stint with the Crimson Tide.
Matt LaCosse was an unheralded free agent signee back in March, but events since then – starting with Rob Gronkowski's retirement – have put him in line to have a key role in the New England offense to start the coming season. With Austin Seferian-Jenkins having been released in June and Ben Watson slated to serve a four-game suspension before commencing his second stint in New England, the 6-6, 255-pound LaCosse is currently on track to work as the team's Week 1 starter at tight end. It's still conceivable the Patriots could bolster the position down the road, but as training camp approaches, LaCosse has some early-season appeal in deeper fantasy formats. In the past, quarterback Tom Brady has gotten a degree of red-zone mileage out of tight ends of a lesser pedigree than Gronkowski. For that reason alone, LaCosse profiles as a streaming option off the bat. Once Watson returns, Brady will have another familiar face to throw to, which is great for the team's pass-catching depth, but a scenario that sets up a potential fantasy-draining committee arrangement that will be nothing like the days of plugging and playing the elite Gronkowski at TE.
N'KEAL HARRY – WR (Rd. 1, No. 32 – Arizona State)
The first wideout selected by the Patriots in Round 1 since 1996.
DAMIEN HARRIS – RB (Rd. 3, No. 87 – Alabama)
Adds depth and power to a balanced ground attack.
MATT LaCOSSE – TE (from Broncos)
The opportunity is there, but Rob Gronkowski is a tough act to follow.
DEMARYIUS THOMAS – WR (from Texans)
Will be eased in after suffering a torn Achilles in December.
BEN WATSON – TE (from Saints)
Adds TE depth and experience, but set to serve a four-game suspension.
ROB GRONKOWSKI – TE (retired)
Red-zone prowess and fierce blocking will be difficult to replace.
TREY FLOWERS – DE (to Lions)
Leaves a pass-rushing void after getting $90 million from the Lions.
CHRIS HOGAN – WR (to Panthers)
Didn't seize on early-season opportunities in his third year with the team.
Sony Michel, RB – Michel missed the final portion of the Patriots' offseason program after undergoing a knee scope. The second-year pro's mounting history of knee injuries has contributed to speculation about rookie third-round pick Damien Harris stealing carries or even the lead role. Still, it sounds like Michel will be healthy enough to defend his workload once he completes his stint on the PUP list. He's now dealt with knee injuries three consecutive years, including two separate issues that led to missed games last season.
Julian Edelman, WR – In the days leading up to training camp, it was announced that Edelman was expected to miss approximately three weeks with a thumb injury. While that's not an optimal development, the relatively short timetable implies that he'll be past the issue before the start of the regular season. The PPR stalwart's looming absence from the early portion of camp paves the way for rookie N'Keal Harry to see added first-team practice reps this summer, while Phillip Dorsett, Maurice Harris, Dontrelle Inman and Braxton Berrios will have an opportunity to jostle for depth slotting during the period Edelman is sidelined.
Demaryius Thomas, WR – Thomas is bouncing back from the second Achilles injury of his career, which occurred last December. After suffering a torn right Achilles tendon back in February 2011, he went on to play 11 games during the ensuing campaign and then rounded into Pro-Bowl form in 2012. This time around, Thomas is recovering from a left Achilles tear, an injury that has the potential to sap pro athletes of speed and explosiveness, especially later in their careers. With that in mind, it wouldn't surprise us to see the veteran wideout eased into the offense when healthy, and it's quite possible the 31-year-old opens the season on the PUP list.

Network glitch forces relief seekers to wait
20 May, 2018, 11:34 am
AS many as 1800 people seeking assistance under the HOMES-CARE program returned home on Friday night after waiting several hours because of network glitches. Yesterday about 200 government officials started working from 7am to complete processing applications received on the first day of the program.
They also had to serve another 4500 people who turned up yesterday.
Ministry of Women permanent secretary Dr Josefa Koroivueta said they felt the best option was for people to return home on Friday night rather than waiting for the system to come back online.
"If they had to wait, we would finish processing all of them by 6am this morning (yesterday) and we had to start at 9am, so we gave them the option considering their interest, their wellbeing and welfare," he said.
"What we did during the processing, we had a separate centre for the older citizens, 65 and above, expectant mothers and those with disabilities and we processed 1200 applications from there."
Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation Mereseini Vuniwaqa said they accepted voter identifi cation cards and any other form of ID people had.
"Some of them come with their joint cards and we also accept that but otherwise, Fijian Elections Offi ce was also here, they were issuing voter IDs for those who needed IDs," she said.
Meanwhile, more numbers were issued to members of the public yesterday. Mrs Vuniwaqa said this meant the team would have to return to Lautoka to serve those who missed the first two days.The team is expected to be in Ba on May 24, followed by Nadi, Tavua and Rakiraki on May 31, June 4 and June 7 respectively.

Dear Colleagues
Following our previous announcement where we were expecting to move the event to September 2020, we can now announce that the new dates for the event are Tuesday 20 – Friday 23 April 2021. As this global pandemic has progressed it has become more apparent that September was an unrealistic goal.
Our apologies for the uncertainty but we hope you can appreciate that this has been a hard decision to consider.
If you have already registered you should have already received information about next steps. If you haven't received our email please contact us at email@example.com. If you haven't registered as yet registrations are open and we look forward to seeing you!
For any questions please email us at email@example.com. We very much look forward to seeing you all in April and thank you for your continued support and patience through this unprecedented time.
On behalf of EUROSKIN and the organising committee, we kindly invite you to participate in the 5th International UV and Skin Cancer Prevention Conference, being held Tuesday 20 – Friday 23 April 2021 in the historic city of Mechelen, Belgium. The Lamot Heritage and Conference Centre, a former brewery, will deliver an excellent background for a productive conference.
Together with our partners (German Bundesamt fur Strahlenschutz, European Cancer Leagues, The Danish Cancer Society, The Norwegian Cancer society, The Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority and the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland…….) we have developed an attractive programme which brings together outstanding experts from the international scientific and skin cancer prevention community. Through inspiring keynote lectures and invited talks about new developments, discussions and presentations of field work, recommendations for better prevention in the next decades will be developed. It is our aim to foster discussions and summarise our knowledge into shared recommendations, which will help to improve future skin cancer prevention. This is an ambitious aim, but we're sure that together with your input and help we'll come to a good and useful result at the end.
The conference will start with a day of workshops dealing with interesting and new topics in the field, followed by 4 thematic sessions that will showcase important scientific advances, and a closing session on the last morning.
EUROSKIN, The European Society of Skin Cancer Prevention, has been dedicated to skin cancer prevention for many decades.
Skin cancer incidence is still increasing in most of the European countries, and worldwide, in the fair skinned population. This is still the result of changes in lifestyle, ongoing use of sunbeds and occupational UV. It is not trivial to predict how climate changes, along with increasing temperature, will change our behaviour in the future and affect our UV-exposure. Therefore, there is still a need to improve primary and secondary prevention of skin cancer by means of behavioral and environmental changes in order to reduce the impact of skin cancer. EUROSKIN, is convinced that only continuous preventive work, based on scientific evidence, will help to reduce number of skin cancer cases in the future.
Therefore, it will be a pleasure for us to welcome you in Mechelen, 20 – 23 April 2021. We thank the organising committee, Fuse staff, participants, workshop and session chairs, keynote and plenary speakers for helping us to build this very exciting conference program. The Organising and Scientific Committee will make a considerable effort to make sure that your participation will be scientifically rewarding and also a pleasurable experience.

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature. ... You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. —Colossians 3:5, 7-10
Paul taught the Colossian believers to seek renewal by receiving knowledge of the image of God. Spiritual renewal and that durable transformation of the mind we all seek will only happen through the knowledge of God's heart bursting into our own hearts. That only happens when we come into contact with God and the truth about God in His Word. Nothing holds greater power to transform your inner life than that moment when God's voice touches your spirit with personal revelation of who He is, who you are in light of that, and what He would have you do. It might be nothing more (and nothing less) than the revelation that He really enjoys being with you. That alone can change your life, if you make it a foundation of your walk with God. When you witness that, you are transformed—you behold and become. Such an experience can never be neutral. It awakens you to who you are, who He is, and who you will be.
What You think about me, the way You feel about me, is all that matters to me, Father. All else seems far away when I behold Your awesome beauty and discover Your marvelous love for me.
What God thinks and feels about you is worth far more
than the best advice from the most important
people in your life.

My first paper in college was titled "The Psychological Effects of Color." I've always been a fan of colors! The field of interior design was actually very appealing to me for that reason, but I was discouraged to study that because it was such an unconventional way of making a living in those days. Had I known then the potential of success of interior design, I may have stuck with it. Although I'm not in the art and design field, I'm still intrigued by the colors and creation that surround us.
Have you ever really taken time to admire the color combinations in nature itself? Humans can come up with some pretty interesting displays with the use of colors, but I'm not sure if any of them were not found in nature first. From the crystal-clear blue waters of the Caribbean, to the warm collages of a New England fall, we can find the most vivid and bright colors. We find the most beautiful colors all throughout nature, from leaves to flowers to our skies to our sands. All these colors can make us feel a certain way. Placing these colors in your surroundings, and bring in the feel of the creation you borrowed them from.
We can't forget the extraordinary colors and patterns found on animals. Do you remember how popular leopard print was a few years ago? As a matter of fact, we might can say it's still a classic piece in today's decor. I've even seen some of the most beautiful colors on fish! The ever-so-famous "Nemo" is one of the most prettiest fish out there, with it's breath-taking orange tones against the black and white stripes.
If you look around, you will see where we have borrowed the beauty in creation and placed it all around us. We have copied it and made it a part of our everyday materials and design. The One who designed it all is beyond our human comprehension. We can't contain His creativity in our finite minds, but we can certainly appreciate it and take care of it.

Orion/Hemdale (Carter de Haven)
110 mins
W: Larry Cohen
DP: Fred Murphy
Ed: David Rosenbloom
Mus: Jay Ferguson
PD: Gene Rudolf
James Woods (Cleve), Brian Dennehy (Dennis Meechum), Victoria Tennant (Roberta Gillian), Allison Balson (Holly Meechum), Paul Shenar (David Madlock), George Coe (Graham)
I've always thought James Woods was a very underrated actor & his performance in this movie is amongst his very best.
He plays a hitman who teams up with cop-turned-author to blow the whistle on his politician former-boss and his company formed with stolen funds.
It's not your typical buddy-buddy picture, in fact, it's the very opposite. Woods is not a pleasant person, whilst his "partner" Brian Dennehy is whiter than white.
A surprisingly good thriller from the pen of Larry Cohen, best known for writing schlock horror movies of the early 80's.
Did You Know:
James Woods had just quit smoking prior to filming. When it came time to shoot the 'cigarette on the palm' scene, Woods suggested he take an already lit cigarette from a patron, that way he wouldn't have to light and smoke a cigarette himself.

The three world-class golf courses on Vietnam's Central Coast have each won a major award at ceremonies in Hanoi and Jakarta in the past week.(TRAVPR.COM) THAILAND - November 7th, 2013 - Danang, Nov 7 -- Vietnam's Central Coast has been re-affirmed as the country's top golf tourism destination and among Asia's elite at separate awards presentations in the past week.
Each of the three world-class courses on the Central Coast – Danang Golf Club, Montgomerie Links and Laguna Lang Co – were acknowledged; Danang GC and Montgomerie Links at the Vietnam Golf Association's biennial awards ceremony in Hanoi on October 31, and Laguna Lang Co at the Asia Pacific Golf Summit in Jakarta on November 6.
At the Vietnam Golf Association's bi-annual awards, Danang GC was named for the second time as Vietnam's leading course, while Montgomerie Links was named best championship course.
Now, Laguna Lang Co, opened in March by its designer Sir Nick Faldo, has been voted best new course in Asia Pacific at this week's golf summit in Jakarta.
Golf club general manager, Tim Haddon, said: "Picking up the best new course in Asia Pacific affirms our position alongside the best two courses in the country, Danang Golf Club and Montgomerie Links. As a group of courses, the region is definitely among Asia's premier golf tourism destinations."
Mark Siegel, the principal of Golfasian Vietnam and chairman of Golf Coast Vietnam, a co-operative marketing group that represents the three golf courses and leading hotels and resorts, said: "These awards show that Vietnam's Central Coast is the hottest golf destination in Asia. Everyone who comes to the area leaves with a sense they have experienced courses, playing conditions, culture, food and history as good as anywhere in Asia or elsewhere."
The Central Coast is based on Vietnam's fourth largest city, Danang, which is serviced by international flights from Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul and cities in China, as well as all major Vietnamese cities. It is a one-hour flight from both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Meteor Stone .
Night's flood is tar.
Through its arching gulf of black, Without a moon, without a star, Floats a cloud, made out of dark : But in that chaos is the thing I seek.
Blue meteor stone To whet a knife now jagged and blunt Or rub a needle out of bone To tap a hidden ruby jet In sudden spurt, like spark glowing from flint.
Body's red glass (Tube and retort) concocts a rich Drug in its deepCst-buried place : He who mines it out may catch A whole long sunrise in one crucial flash.
That glittering ore, More like a wine than metal, runs Its melted fire into a shower Swift as a bird, light as a dance, Across a sky where all the birds are suns.
How may delight All gold and jewel, as this is, be Changed from its yellow to make plain white?
And in its spectrum range all three :

"Johnny was a hero to all Derry City supporters. He joined the club in 1964 and, with his great help, we won the IFA cup and the League the following year. When we played Barcelona in a friendly game in 2003 (Ronaldinho the world's most expensive player at the time played that night), Johhny and Betty were invited over from Scotland as our guests. But the biggest reception was for Johnny was as he came on the pitch at half time to a rapturous reception from our supporters. Johnny and his wife Betty were guests of honour at the game and also at the banquet the night before. Having played for Derry City, Johnny once said, "I wish I could turn the clock back to those days. Derry was a second home to me." " David Doherty, 12 July 2017

Hiya, I've set up the Dropbox upload for a client, but I'm wondering if there is anything along the lines of an automated email to let them know when their storage space (on here, not Dropbox) is getting near-to-full, so they can login and delete some items from it?
- BenAnswered on November 24, 2014 at 01:37 PM
Yes, as soon as any account comes near the storage space limit it will be sent the email notification to let the account holder know before that happens to allow to upgrade or remove the files on storage.
Best Regards,

I can't believe it's already June. Spring is nearly gone, which I like because (quite literally) I'm sick of pollen. Unfortunately, this means that summer is coming - with humid weather and swarms of mosquitoes.
At least for now mornings are still mild and cool, which is why yesterday I rode my bike from Arlington to take another look at the Harold Parker State Forest (HPSF) in Andover.
The forest covers a hefty chunk of southern Andover and North Reading with many, many trails crossing it. It's a favorite hang out place of local mosquitoes and mountain bikers so if you don't mind meeting them on trail, head out and have fun.
I started, as usual, by entering the network of trails near the parking lot at Jenkins Road, then followed Harold Parker Road and Bradford Pond Road towards Salem Pond. Now, keep in mind that those "roads" aren't really roads but barely wide paths. As long as you stay on the wider trails you can move quickly and won't get lost.
After crossing Middleton Street, I followed Stearns Pond Road around Steve's Pond. This trail feels almost like a highway compared to the many smaller paths in the forest - it's wide and relatively even.
After crossing Turnpike Street (a very busy road), I continued on Berry Street and then found the entrance to a tiny foot path at the end of Windsor Lane. This route is called Old Farnum Street on the map but you would have to be very, very drunk to call it a street at all. It's barely accessible, heavily overgrown, narrow and blocked by many fallen tree trunks. I had to walk my bike and portage it across logs nearly the entire length of this section.
However, the end was quite rewarding because then I found this:
There is a well-hidden and completely abandoned old lumber mill right at the Boston Brook. The mill is in poor condition but once you peek inside, you will find that a lot of its original equipment is still in place.
Once I passed the mill, I followed the path towards Farnum Street, which ends at a farm. In fact, if you want to take a peek at the mill, it's much easier to access it from Farnum Street as long as you ignore the farm gate.
The next place on my list was Mary French Reservation best accessed when you ride Grey Road towards Korinthian Way.
This place is fun both for joggers and bikers. It has probably the longest and narrowest boardwalks I've ever found in Boston area, installed just a few feet over the swamp. Riding a bicycle there is fun and a bit of challenge.
The boardwalks end with a very narrow trail that runs between closely-spaced trees. In fact, some of them are so close to each other that I could barely fit my bike in-between.
The 44cm-wide drop bars on my bike were a tight fit between those trees. Now that's what you call a singletrack!
My last section of the extensive trail network in HPSF ran along Phillips Road and Walker Road. Again, these aren't your typical roads but they are wide enough to move fast. No mountain bike needed here, just bring you widest tires (over 35mm preferably).
HPSF is a great place for recreational cycling but just like any other large forested areas nearby it would be best enjoyed in the fall when mosquitoes and flies are gone and foliage season is in full swing.

Chapter 1931: Entering the Ethereal Hall Once More
Watching Cao Chengli's frantically escaping silhouette, Zhang Xuan smiled quietly for a moment before rising to his feet and flinging his sleeves.
All of the corpses lying around the residence burst into flames. In just a moment's time, they were all reduced to ashes.
With another fling of Zhang Xuan's hands, all of the ashes flowed into the underground drainage and vanished from sight.
All traces of the battle that had gone on earlier vanished entirely, as if nothing had happened at all.
Zhang Xuan walked into the room and sat down to meditate so as to replenish the zhenqi in his body. He had to say that the medicinal water from boiling the Dongxu Gourd was really effective. Not only had he recovered from his injuries, his body had also managed to adapt to the space and spiritual energy in the Azure, allowing him to move and absorb spiritual energy more easily.
He cultivated for roughly two hours before finally coming to a halt. He pondered quietly for a short moment before directing his consciousness toward his dantian and asking, "Gourd, what the hell are you?"
This question had bugged him for quite a while now.
He was well aware of how severe his injuries were, but just drinking the medicinal water from the Dongxu Gourd allowed him to make a swift recovery. Most likely, the Dongxu Gourd was a being more fearsome than he had ever imagined.
Thinking back, it was worth wondering why Ancient Sage Qiu Wu would set up a Spatial Formation just to nourish a Dongxu Gourd for tens and thousands of years. Most likely, there was more than meets the eye.
"There is a lot more stuff that I can eat here. As long as you can give me enough food, you'll know in due time!" the Dongxu Gourd readjusted its position to find a comfortable spot before lying down leisurely.
Zhang Xuan tried asking a few more questions, but the latter simply ignored him. Sighing deeply, he took out his Ethereal Token and immersed his consciousness in it once more.
"Why aren't they back yet?"
In the City Lord Manor, Xue Chen was pacing around with a tight frown on his forehead.
Under normal circumstances, the elites he had dispatched should have already killed that trash and returned by now. Two hours had passed since then, so why were there no one to be seen?
"You, head over to take a look!" Xue Chen turned to a nearby guard and ordered.
The guard swiftly put on a set of dark clothes and flitted away. Soon, he returned with a bizarre look on his face, "Sir, nothing seems to have happened to the Dan Clan at all. Dan Xiaotian and Dan Yi are completely unharmed!"
Xue Chen was bewildered by the report, "How can that be? Are my commands not clear?"
He had instructed the guards to eliminate those three at the Dan Clan Residence in the swiftest time possible, but nothing had happened even after two hours had passed? What was going on here?
"Investigate the matter! Find out where did the earlier team go to!" Xue Chen bellowed furiously.
The guard hurriedly rushed out, and an hour later, he returned and reported, "Based on the footsteps, all of them have entered the Dan Clan. However, there are no traces that they have left the premises… My guess is that they might have been killed, and their corpses have been disposed of too!"
"They have been killed? By those three?" Xue Chen was stunned.
Those fifty elites he had dispatched were all Great Sage 1-dan cultivators, and the leader was even at Great Sage 2-dan. Their combined strength would make them a match even for a Great Sage 4-dan cultivator. Yet, they were defeated silently like that, such that none of them even got to send a message back…
Given that the opponent was just the crippled Dan Xiaotian, weakling Dan Yi, and a severely wounded young man, this shouldn't have happened!
Or… could it be that the bandit was right? Xue Chen suddenly remembered Cao Chengli's words.
The latter mentioned that Dan Xiaotian had a formidable horse and a carriage that could use martial arts.
Could, by any chance, those two actually existed?
"Sir, what do we do now? Shall we continue dispatching people over?" the guard asked.
"There's no need for that… If the guards were really killed by them, their guard must be up by now. For the time being, we need to gather more information and reassess Dan Xiaotian's strength before making a move!" Xue Chen shook his head and said.
"Besides, the sun is about to be up soon. If we make a commotion now, we would risk sullying the City Lord Residence's reputation."
"But… are we going to let that bastard off after so many of our brothers have been killed?" the guard asked anxiously.
The City Lord Manor might be rich, but grooming fifty guards like that took up a great deal of effort and resources too. For all of them to be killed just like that… this was really a little hard to swallow.
With a livid look on Xue Chen's face, he said, "I want you to take a trip to Hongyan Market and check plausible ambush points along the way. Try to find the corpses of the bandits or signs of battle!"
"Yes, sir!" the guard replied before leaving the room. A while later, he returned and reported, "Sir, in the frontmost alley near Hongyan Market, we found some corpses, bows, and arrows. They belong to the deceased bandits!"
"Good. Get your men to get rid of the corpses of those bandits. After which, I want you to smear some armor with blood and secretly bury them in places near the Dan Clan Residence!" Xue Chen harrumphed as a cold smile crept onto his lips.
"Sir, you want me to bury our weapon and armor around the Dan Clan Residence?"
Seeing that the guard was confused by the order, a glint flickered across Xue Chen's eyes as he explained, "Dan Xiaotian has always been a weakling, and there's no one in town who doesn't know that. If it were to be found that many guards of the City Lord Manor has disappeared overnight, and the weapons and armor of both bandits and guards alike were found near the perimeter of the Dan Clan Residence, what do you think people will say?"
"What… people will say? They will probably say that Dan XIaotian has colluded with bandits to kill the guards of the City Lord Manor…" As the guard spoke, his eyes slowly lit up in excitement.
If they were to do so, even without making a move on Dan Xiaotian straight, they would be able to corner him and force him to submit to them. If things go well, not only would they be able to sully Dan Xiaotian's reputation, they might even be able to push for his execution!
Due to the evil committed by the bandits over the past decade, they were a bunch deeply abhorred by the ordinary civilians. If people were to learn that Dan Xiaotian had colluded with the bandits, he would surely be condemned for it.
And that would give the City Lord Manor a legitimate excuse to reject the marriage agreement.
After all, how could the noble city lord allow his own daughter to marry a person with questionable morals?
"That's right! I want you to spread the news tomorrow morning, saying that fifty of our guards have found traces of the bandits and had set forth to take them down. However, they went missing in the midst of the operation, so we are going to launch a citywide search for their whereabouts… Make sure to hype the matter up as much as possible. It would be best if the entire city learns of the matter!" Xue Chen instructed with a smile.
"When the news has finally ripened enough, we'll head to the Dan Clan and search their premises under the pretext of investigating the whereabouts of the missing guards. There, we'll find the weapons of the bandits and the bloodied armor of our guards… There's no way Dan Xiaotian will be able to free himself from this!"
"Yes, sir!" Hearing how Xue Chen was able to make such an ingenious move despite the disadvantageous situation they were in, the guard bowed deeply out of admiration. He pondered over the plan for a moment before asking, "But sir, what if Dan Xiaotian refuses to plead guilty to it even with those evidence in place?"
With chilling eyes, Xue Chen said, "He can deny it all he wants, but it will all be futile. As long as we can find a reason to drag him to the City Lord Manor, he'll be ours to deal with. We can simply pin whatever crime we want on him an sentence him accordingly!"
"That's true…" the guard nodded. "I'll go make the arrangements right now!"
"Second Young Mistress, you were looking for me?"
While Xue Chen was arranging for Dan Xiaotian's downfall, Xue Qin had returned to her bedroom, but she was unable to fall asleep. Eventually, she called for one of the youths serving by Huo Jianghe's side to come into her room.
This young man was from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion as well, and just like her, he was a menial disciple. He was in charge of attending of Huo Jianghe's needs so that the latter can focus his attention on cultivating.
"This money is a token of my goodwill. Please, accept it!" Xue Chen said politely.
With a wave of her hand, a maid quickly passed a sachet of gold coins over. Before passing the sachet over, the maid casually shook the sachet a little, and the resounding jingling of coins echoed in the air. From the looks of it, it appeared that there were at least a hundred coins inside.
"We are all from the same sect. Second Young Mistress, there's no need to stand on ceremony…" the young man's eyes lit up as he kept the sachet.
A menial disciple like him wasn't entitled to a lot of resources in the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, so naturally, he was more than delighted to accept Xue Chen's generous gift.
"May I ask you if Senior Huo has said after returning back to his quarters at night?" Xue Qin looked at the young man intently and asked.
"Senior Huo didn't say anything…" Perhaps it was due to his inexperience, it was only at this moment that the young man finally understood Xue Qin's true intentions. He pondered for a brief moment before adding, "Right, he told us to keep a lookout for a person called World's Edge in the Ethereal Hall. He sternly instructed us to inform him as soon as that person appears!"
"World's Edge?" Xue Qin frowned.
"It's like this…" the young man swiftly filled Xue Qin in on what had happened in the Ethereal Hall.
"I see! If World's Edge really appears, I would like to trouble senior to inform me in advance. I would like to be the one to deliver then news to Senior Huo!" Xue Qin said as she passed another sachet of gold coins over.
"Of course, that isn't a problem at all!" the young man nodded vehemently with light gleaming from his eyes.
In the first place, this matter was nothing to him at all. If he could benefit from this so easily, there was no reason for him to take up Xue Qin's arrangements.
Barely after saying those words, the young man suddenly lowered his head and took out a jade token. He took a look at it, and his eyes lit up, "Second Young Mistress, you are truly lucky. World's Edge has just entered the Ethereal Hall. Let's go look for Senior Huo together!"
"Yes!" Xue Qin quickly got to her feet and followed the young man into Huo Jianghe's residence.
It didn't take too long for them to arrive at their destination.
"He's there?"
Hearing their report, Huo Jianghe narrowed his eyes.
"Senior, this is an Ethereal Token from Starlight City…" Xue Qin quickly presented two Ethereal Tokens over.
As valuable as Ethereal Tokens were, it was a common commodity to the City Lord Manor.
"Un!" Seeing that the young lady was on the ball, Huo Jianghe nodded in approval before rising to his feet and saying, "Enter the Ethereal Hall with me. I'll show you what the true swordsmanship of our Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion looks like!"
"Thank you, senior!" Seeing that the other party didn't blame her for what happened earlier in the day, Xue Qin heaved a sigh of relief before immersing her consciousness into the Ethereal Token.
Weng! Weng!
The two of them entered the Ethereal Hall simultaneously.
"It really is inconvenient bringing things around with me like that. Let's see if I can purchase a storage ring here!"
Too used to using storage rings in the Master Teacher Continent, he felt that it was a handful to lug his possessions with him around everywhere. Thus, he returned to the Ethereal Hall in hopes of finding a storage ring here.
While it was late at night outside, the Ethereal Hall was filled to the brim with people. Furthermore, the surroundings remained extremely bright, as if the concept of day and night didn't exist here. Zhang Xuan made his way over to the front receptionist and posed his question.
"Of course, there are storage rings on sale in the Ethereal Hall too! Each of them costs 500,000 Ethereal Coins!" the attendant replied cheerfully.
"500,000 Ethereal Coins?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
That was exorbitant!
It was no wonder why even a huge clan like the Dan Clan didn't have a single storage ring with them!
"I won eight matches earlier in the day. If I were to join the dueling ring now, will I continue on from the ninth match, or will I be starting over from the first?" Zhang Xuan asked.
Currently, the dueling ring was the fastest way to earn Ethereal Coins that he knew of. However, he had left halfway through, so if the count were to start again from the first round, it would really be a huge pain for him.
It was likely that no one would want to challenge him anymore by the time he reached the eighth round again.
After all, the Starlight City only had that much experts. There weren't too many people who were willing to spend money just to lose a battle.
"Since you have won eight matches, participating in the primary level duels don't pose too much of a challenge to you anymore. Unfortunately, there are no more matches for the intermediate level duels yet, and the earliest one would be two days away from now. Furthermore, it seems like your tier isn't high enough yet too," the attendant assessed Zhang Xuan's profile for a moment as he remarked.
"Intermediate level duels?" Zhang Xuan was stunned.
Primary and intermediate… Were there different tiers to the dueling ring too?

1 in 2 healthy Singaporeans aged 65 could become severely disabled in their lifetime, and may need long-term care. We need to plan for our future long-term care needs, but working out how much to save can be difficult given the uncertainty of long-term care costs. Insurance pools our risks together and ensures protection against potentially catastrophic long-term care costs, and helps to provide peace of mind.
ElderShield was introduced in 2002 as a basic long-term care insurance scheme targeted at severe disability, especially during old age. The scheme currently provides cash payouts of $300 or $400 per month, for up to 5 or 6 years.
Severe disability is the inability of an individual to perform three or more Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). This means that the individual will require significant assistance from another person for the ADL.
The ability to wash in the bath or shower (including getting into and out of the bath or shower) or do a sponge/ bed bath.
The ability to put on, take off, secure and unfasten all garments and, as appropriate, any braces, artificial limbs or other surgical or medical appliances.
The ability to feed oneself food after it has been prepared and made available.
The ability to use the toilet or manage bowel and bladder function through the use of protective undergarments such as diapers, or surgical appliances if appropriate.
The ability to move indoors from room to room on level surfaces.
The ability to move from a bed to an upright chair or wheelchair, and vice versa.
MediShield Life and ElderShield are insurance plans that serve different purposes:

Quantity: 1 available
Book Condition: Good+
On offer is an interesting, manuscript relic of pre Civil War Baltimore and American literary feuds being an autograph letter dated Washington, Nov. 29, 1848, signed by Baltimore poet Rufus Dawes who feuded with Edgar Allan Poe. The feud began in 1829 when Dawes, a 26 year-old editor of a weekly Baltimore literary gazette, published an unfavorable review of Poe's second book of poetry. Ten years later, when Dawes, a minor playwright, published his own poetry, Poe, then assistant editor of a magazine, wrote a review so scathing that the editor refused to print it. In 1841, another magazine, which published Poe's "Mask of the Red Death", ran a fairly moderate review in which Poe noted that while Dawes' "opponents treat his pretensions [as a poet] with contempt", some of Dawes "minor" verse was "often exceedingly good". But in other reviews, Poe said Dawes had "made a fool of himself" by writing "downright nonsense" about metaphysics, while his longer poems were "pompous nonsense" which "have not been condemned, only because they have never been read." There is no record of direct contact between the two men in Baltimore, and this rare letter may be Dawes' only indirect allusion to his illustrious enemy who, 11 months later, died in that city in what was probably a drunken haze. Dawes had a minor government job when he wrote this letter to an aspiring young Rhode Island poet did not name the celebrated author of "The Raven" - then in his last year of life - but assuredly had Poe in mind when he talked of "malicious criticism". The three pages read in part: To Mr. Ruggles, Dawes opens the letter with a very warm greeting and complimentary comment regarding Mr. Ruggles's sister, Mrs. Gladding whose society he cherishes, he then gets to the matter at hand "…I am gratified by your confidence in sending me those specimens of your poetry, but I am one of the last persons to be called on to sit in judgment on such matters. The press is so flooded with verse, and there are so many really good writers of fugitive poetry that it is extremely difficult to be distinguished in that line of composition. Then there is so much rivalry, envy and malicious criticism that the chances of success are very small for all new aspirants, while even the older writers are driven in disgust from the literary arena. I believe with you that 'poetry is hereditary to all Americans' - and to all men. I ascribe the great outburst of poetic thought, good, bad and indifferent, to a struggle of the harmonious tendencies of human nature, at this epoch of human advancement, to realize themselves in the active sphere of life… mankind are now in a social point of view, in a transitional state. There will certainly be a great social revolution in the course of this passing century - in our country probably of a gradual and peaceful character. But come it will…I like some of your verses very much - but if you were my own brother and you wrote even better than you do, I could not advise you to enter on a career which I myself have almost entirely abandoned…the poetic faculty may be turned into more useful channels, at present, than in the composition of verses. Let the imagination swing itself fully into the region of noble human aspiration and efforts for the good of man, and let all the genius the world possesses be concentrated on the great problems which now engage the minds of the reformers. Hoping that you may be found in their ranks…" Condition: Creased where folded, tiny cracks at folds; overall G+.

So after an hour or so, here's what I know. The new power isn't strength, speed or intelligence. It's not flight, levitation or balance. It's not telekinesis or gravity manipulation. If it's breathing underwater, I don't know how to activate it, and I'm not willing to take in a couple of lungsful of water to find out if it'll kick in on its own. I can't grow, I can't shrink, I can't morph my body at all.
In short, I'm starting to wonder if I really got any power at all. I mean, I'm sure I did; that sensation is incredibly distinctive. But I can't figure out anything that's reacting at all.
What if it's something stupid? What if I've gotten the power to be super-allergic to clover, or to flash orange in the presence of radon? If so, I'm never going to figure it out. I've been basing this on the theory that these are classic superhero powers, things that I can save the day with, but maybe I've just been deluding myself. It could be totally random.
But if that's the case, then it suggests that there's no controlling intelligence behind this, no reason for it to be happening. And that doesn't square with what I've seen so far regarding the abilities that have kicked in. It's got to be something reasonable, something I can use to defeat my nemesis when he shows up.
That thought sends a pain shooting through my leg, healed though it is. I'm not ready for another nemesis. The last one, Regina, literally dragged me through broken glass on our final encounter, and all things considered, I came out of that pretty well. I've been kind of enjoying being in one piece. I'm not looking forward to someone else trying to carve a chunk out of me. Especially if I can't even figure out what it is that I can do to fight him.
Maybe I'm going about this all wrong. Last time, my power showed up on its own, manifesting where it was relevant. I didn't have to do anything to find it except be near magnetic objects. And if somehow I hadn't managed that before running into Regina, her electricity-based power was a complement to my magnetism-based one, so I could have figured it out from that. It kicked in pretty automatically to save me from her lightning bolts, after all. So if I just wait for the new guy or gal to find me, maybe my power will be evident in the right context.
It's not an ideal solution, not by any stretch of the imagination. But it's getting late, and watching training videos all day is surprisingly exhausting. Anyway, for all I know, I've gained the power of dream projection, and once I fall asleep I'll be able to go spy on the world and find my new nemesis.
It's a pretty flimsy excuse for going to bed early, but I'm pretty wiped out, so flimsy is all I need. Besides which, I remember the many nights I collapsed into bed the last time these powers kicked in. Being a superhero is bad for the sleep schedule; I should get sleep now, while I can.
Thus rationalized, I strip down and flop into bed, where I'm out in mere minutes. Unsurprisingly, I totally fail to dream-project anywhere.
Morning brings with it the muzzy-headed realization that this is my first real day of work in months, and that as such, I should probably heave myself out of bed and prepare to get there in a timely fashion. I reluctantly pair thought with action and mumble my way to the shower, where I let the water wash the sleep from me.
The shower, breakfast, and a walk to work on what turns out to be a surprisingly balmy day have me arriving at Børger with a smile on my face. Matt matches me with a smile of his own as I punch in.
"Morning, Dan! Are you excited for your first shift?"
No one has ever been excited to work in fast food, I think automatically, but then I realize two things: Matt obviously is, and honestly, I kind of am, too. This might be the first time in my life that I haven't started a job with a sense of dread. And yeah, it's a stupid, monkey-push-the-button kind of job, but my boss is awesome, my other coworkers seem friendly enough from what I've seen, and the customers — well, the customers will probably be terrible. But if that doesn't get anyone else here down, I can weather it, too.
These days, if you want to look up facts about something, you just pull up a search engine and scan the internet. But you used to have to go to a library, and despite the internet, libraries are still around and people still use them for research. Similarly, if you want to go be a horrible human being to someone, you can just stop by the comments section of any YouTube video or about half of Reddit. But before the internet, if you wanted to go be terrible to a stranger, you went to a fast food restaurant and shouted at the employees. And even though the internet has taken over, you'll still find these sort of customers waiting angrily in line for their food.
As I work the register, the Børger corporate-approved greeting already coming to my lips automatically for each customer, I find myself scanning the line, trying to guess who's going to be the first problem. The guy with his headphones in is predictably distracted, but gives me his order clearly enough and even smiles and says thank you at the end of the transaction. The lady who's only keeping an eye on two of her four kids is polite, too, and the worst that the kids do is use a couple of the ketchup cups as horns in a matador/bull fight with each other.
After an hour, everyone's still been nice, and I'm starting to get worried. It's practically a law of nature that the longer you have to wait for these things, the worse the bad one'll be. Finally, I think I spot the one. A guy comes in and starts to walk to the shorter line, then sees Matt at the register. He grimaces and switches over to my line, even though it's several people longer. I immediately peg him as a racist, and steel myself for the unpleasant remarks he's doubtless going to slip in about Matt when he orders his food.
"Welcome to Børger, sir," I say, staring him down. He doesn't seem to notice my gimlet eyes, and places his order, which I dutifully punch into the register. As he's swiping his credit card to pay for it, he says, "Are you a new hire?"
"Yes, I just started here."
"Let me give you a piece of advice."
Here it comes. He's going to say something offensive, I'm going to refuse to serve him, he'll end up ranting in the parking lot until we have to call the cops. "Lay it on me."
"Relax. You look way too tense. Just breathe, and don't let the job overwhelm you."
Have you ever been walking up a flight of stairs, and at the top, tried to step up one more time onto a stair that wasn't there? That jarring sensation of stepping through a solid object is how I feel right now. Oblivious, the man wanders off to the side to wait for his meal, and I shake myself and move on to the next customer in line.
Later in the break room, I tell Matt about the incident, and he laughs. "That guy? He comes in here once or twice a month, and he never stands in my line. It's not racism, though. He's got no problem with the other black employees. It's just me. I have no idea what I did to him, but he's clearly not going to let it happen again. He's been coming here for at least a couple of years now, since before I was manager."
He pauses, then says solemnly, "You shouldn't assume the worst out of people, Dan. They deserve better than that."
I don't believe that at all, but I wish I did. It's a nice way to look at the world.
As the day goes on, I have to admit that Matt's attitude seems justified. Six hours into my shift and everyone's been, if not always pleasant, at least never rude. I'm still tensed up for a punch, but I'm starting to admit to myself that it might not be coming.
I'm in the middle of serving a guy who looks like a cross between an undertaker and a scarecrow, trying to figure out the key code for a Børger Bønanza, when he says to me pleasantly, "I think you've got a problem with your fryer."
He points past me with an arm like two broom handles loosely jointed together, and I turn to see that flames are leaping up from the boiling oil in one of the fryers. Sammy, the guy who's supposed to be watching them, is nowhere to be seen, so I race over there to deal with the fire.
In the few steps that it takes me to get there, though, fire springs up from the next fryer, too, and the whole thing is burning briskly by the time I arrive. I grab for the fry baskets, but the burning oil dripping from the sides convinces me that this is a bad idea, and I leave them in the fryers as I look desperately around for a solution.
"Grab the fire extinguisher!" shouts Matt, but I wasn't paying attention during that part of training, and I don't know where it is. Looking around, I don't see it, but I do spot a cookie sheet sitting unattended in the sink. I grab it and slam it down over the top of the fryers, and fortunately, it's big enough to cover them both and smother the flames.
I'm feeling very proud of myself for my quick thinking until it registers that I'm holding a metal sheet to a fire with my bare hands. I whip my hands away, shaking them briskly, but the fingertips are already reddened and it's a good bet that they'll blister.
Suddenly, I realize that I've found my problem customer and my nemesis all at the same time. I turn around, knowing that the broomstick man is already long gone, and I'll have to go hunt him down before he burns again — only to see him still standing patiently at the counter, gangly arms hanging at his side.
"I'm going to have to wait a little while for the fries with my Bønanza, aren't I?" he says with a smile. "That's all right, I'm not in a rush. I hope you're okay!"
"Nice work!" says someone farther back in line, and everyone in the restaurant starts to applaud.
Maybe Matt's right after all. Expecting the worst out of people has usually served me well, but so far today, it's just making me feel like a jerk.

Pro Keyboard driven
You don't need the mouse to use Howl. Everything can be accomplished with commands and shortcuts.
Pro Fast startup
It's extremely lightweight, making it start up pretty quickly.
Pro Easy to use
Howl is very intuitive and easy to use.
Pro Easy to extend
Plugins (bundles) can be written in Lua or MoonScript.
Pro UI Focused on editting
Non distracted icons, toolbars, pannels, extra spacing, etc.
Pro Language tooling
Has built-in functionality for completion, inline documentation and linting so IDE-like features can be added easily.
Pro Command line palette
Search for your commands in an easy way and see in the list which key-strokes are mapped to which commands
Pro Open source

Pro Free
Free but capable alternative to BBEdit.
Pro Built-in FTP/STFP browser
Edit remote files easily.
Pro Robust
Con Lack of Lua examples
Although Howl can be extended in both Lua and MoonScript, almost all bundles are written in MoonScript. This means that it is a bit harder to find examples if you'd rather write your bundle in Lua. MoonScript can be compiled to Lua but the code won't be as clean and understandable as if it would've been written in Lua by hand.
Con No Longer Maintained
Bare Bones, the developers of TextWranger, recently ended maintenance and support for the product. Per the Bare Bones website (https://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/): "We have sunsetted TextWrangler, and we encourage anyone interested in TextWrangler to download and use BBEdit instead."
Per the Bare Bones website (https://www.barebones.com/support/new-os.html): "TextWrangler is not compatible with High Sierra. We suggest that you use BBEdit as an alternative . . . ." Since Bare Bones officially sunsetted the product, it will unlikely be compatible with subsequent macOS release versions either.

14 May, 2013
Ita Buttrose has presented one of Australia's most eminent dementia researchers, Professor Henry Brodaty, with the Lifetime Alzheimer's Australia Award at the official opening of Dementia Australia's 15th National Conference in Hobart.
Australian of the Year 2013 and Alzheimer's Australia National President, Ms Buttrose said the award recognises Professor Brodaty's long-standing commitment to improving the quality of life for people living with dementia.
"Professor Brodaty has dedicated a lifetime of leadership, clinical excellence and research to improve the quality of life for people with dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease," Ms Buttrose said.
"He has made, and continues to make, an outstanding contribution to Australia's fight against dementia."
Professor Brodaty is the Scientia Professor of Ageing and Mental Health and Director of the Dementia Collaborative Research Centre at the University of New South Wales. He helped found Alzheimer's Australia 31 years ago and was its president from 1988-1991.
"Professor Brodaty's passion, hard work and generosity have been and remain an important contributor to the strong organisation that Alzheimer's Australia has become today, one which has credibility within Australia and internationally," Ms Buttrose said.
Ms Buttrose also presented Dr Simon Bell with the 2012 Resthaven inc Dementia Research Award for a project which is looking at appropriate pain management in people with dementia in residential care.
Dr Bell is a pharmacist and Associate Professor, Quality Use of Medicines and Pharmacy Research Centre, Sansom Institute, School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of South Australia. He is also Adjunct Professor of Geriatric Pharmacotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Eastern Finland. His research is mainly focused on studying and optimising the outcomes of psychotropic medicine use, particularly among older people.
"When finalised, Dr Bell's project will enable clinicians to assess the risks and benefits of prescribing, dispensing and administering medicines with analgesic and sedative properties to people with and without dementia," Ms Buttrose said.
The Alzheimer's Australia 15th National Conference will bring together world leaders in social and medical dementia research. Key speakers from Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany will discuss ways society can successfully challenge dementia through promoting awareness, rehabilitation, social engagement, creativity and self-expression. They will also discuss the need for increased investment in dementia research to identify the cause, treatments and cure for dementia.
The conference program can be found at www.alzheimers2013.com

Prices start from £395 per person (based on 2 people sharing a double or twin room) for 3 nights self-guided road cycling
The best time to go to the French Alps is June to September. All the climbs usually open in April, but the weather can make riding challenging in May and any later than September and you risk snow on the high ground.
We provide the best range of cycling friendly accommodation in Europe, from small family run hotels to larger grand hotels.
On arrival you will be met at the airport and transferred directly to your hotel. A transfer will also collect you on your final day and take you back to the airport.
We recommend you fly to Geneva airport.
Your stay will include bed & breakfast. Please contact the office if you would like to include your evening meals.
We can supply the best bikes for hire in all of our self guided cycling destinations. Simply contact the office for more information.
We recommend a morning flight. After arriving you will be met and transferred to your chosen hotel in Morzine. You will have time to build your bike (or pick up your hire bike) and grab some lunch. In the afternoon we recommend you test your legs on the local iconic climb, the Col de Joux Plane from the Morzine side. This is the less famous side, but climbs up through the woods, steeply at first, and the lake is great for an inpromtu paddle if the weather is good.
This loop is a great day out for those new to the big mountains. The Col de Jambaz and Col de Joux Plane from the more famous Samoens side are both tackled. There's even an optional extension ride up to lake and restaurants North of Morzine for those that stil have the legs. The ride itself is lumpy, but the only really steep bits come on the Col de Joux Plan.
A longer ride, but much flatter. We recommend riding round Lake Geneva for lunch in Lausanne. Then take the ferry back to Evian and retrace your steps to Morzine.
There is time for one final ride up to the Col de Joux Verte through the 'goat village' to the ski station of Avoriaz at the top. We recommend you get an afternoon or evening flight. If you want to extend this trip, this is possible. Simply contact us.

I chose photography as a profession for reasons beyond simply loving the medium. But, after seven years of working in the field, I had yet to make good on them.
I traveled to Zambia with my family in high school, volunteering with an organization called Family Legacy. When I toured the Camp Life village, where dozens of children had been rescued from the streets, I remember thinking, "This is what it's all about. If only I could tell these stories to people who haven't had access to this world, stirring emotion that leads to compassion and ultimately changes lives."
Then came a trip to Kitale, Kenya, this past February.
The faith-based Neema Project is an amazing organization. It picks up where childhood sponsorship leaves off, empowering the most vulnerable girls to discover their purpose and value. This isn't just another school—girls' lives are literally redirected through what they learn. They're given a most valuable developing world tool: a way to support themselves through sewing.
For three years, the girls work hard in their village. In a culture run by men, where the mistreatment of women is commonplace, they are cared for and nourished, and their children are supported. The program isn't easy, by any means. But if they stick with it, it changes the trajectory of their lives.
One of my most memorable experiences was an overnight stay at the Neema compound. Our group spent the morning and afternoon with the girls, documenting their time in classrooms and their breaks throughout the day. We ate dinner with them and walked with the second-year students to their compound, watching the sun dip behind the horizon. We drank chai tea to close the evening and had a slumber party with the house mom.
We also visited graduates—now employees making a life for themselves. One night, we were welcomed into the home of the program's director. We milked the cow that gave us milk for chai, watched her prep a live chicken for the evening meal, and chatted as the cabbage was cut and the bread was rolled out and fried.
We squeezed inside the small living room, filling our bellies beyond capacity. Several times, I found myself consciously trying to focus on every detail, every scent. I never want to forget that evening.

The story of Cde Luckmore Masarira alias Cde Chipere Chemunyati
WE learnt from war collaborators that the Rhodesians, who had survived the Mupindimbi attack, had fled to another military camp at Basera, in Gutu.
We gathered at a base in the Dewende area in Mawanga Mountain where we met a platoon of about 32 guerillas from Bikita, led by Cde Dakota, who had come to reinforce us.
Cde Temarai addressed us and told us we had to pursue the Rhodies who had fled to Basera.
We would never forgive the Rhodesians for the 105 villagers they had massacred at Kamungoma.
We were determined not to have a single Rhodie in the area; it would be a liberated zone, a no-go area for the Rhodesies. It was the least we could do for the masses to ease their grief. Along with Cdes Kelvin Masango and Mopera Moto, we went for the reconnaissance of Basera Military Camp. Two elders, Mapondera and Simbi, who operated shops in Basera assisted us. Mapondera helped us get into the camp. We entered the camp in his lorry as his assistants delivering firewood.
The camp was clogged with Rhodesiann soldiers since some of them had come to seek refuge after we burnt down their Mupindimbi Camp to ashes, killing more than 50 Rhodesian soldiers.
The soldiers had also dug defensive trenches around the camp.
There were six Bedford military trucks and three armoured cars. We established five strategic attacking points. We carried out the reconnaissance for two days, remaining highly vigilant.
The Rhodies never suspected us to be guerillas and this was our first achievement, a clear sign of impending victory. Since we did the reconnaissance in broad daylight, we managed to get all the details of the camp.
We also managed to make a sketch plan of the camp and a strategy on how we were to attack Basera was made. Finally we were ready to make it a liberated zone.
The major obstacle we faced was cover, since the area lies in a dry region with very little vegetation.
We finally left the Rhodie camp to make final preparations for the attack, fully satisfied with our reconnaissance. The final preparations were done at a base on Dondofema Farm, the only place with adequate cover for us to plan without our presence being detected and the farm was owned by an African, which made it a relatively safe place.
Since we were facing the challenge of cover, we moved in small units to avoid detection.
It took us about four hours to secure our assault positions. Cde Teramai, our detachment commander, led that battle. We attacked Basera at around 10pm. Unlike at Mupindimbi, Rhodesians here were not relaxed — they had become more vigilant. This was one battle in which there was serious gunfire exchange.
It was a fierce battle; the Rhodies were well prepared.
A miracle happened at this battle and up to today, I strongly believe that the spirit of the innocent villagers massacred at Kamungoma came to our rescue.
The Rhodesians fired flares which lit up the sky and the whole camp, they really wanted to 'deal' with us and they were not backing down.
But the flares did not expose us, instead, they gave the comrades from Bikita who had bazookas the opportunity to hit the Rhodesians more accurately. The guerillas hit the Bedford trucks and armoured vehicles.
They were engulfed in flames and the just recruited among the Rhodesian forces were thrown into panic. This gave us the opportunity to intensify our fire onto the enemy.
We only retreated to the gathering point when the enemy stopped firing.
It took us about two hours to regroup. We all came out alive except for two casualties.
Our gathering point was about 10km from Basera.
We then planted landmines on the road that led to the Rhodesian camp to deal with the trucks that would come to check the damage and ferry the dead.
We planted the mines at around 4am and patiently waited for our prey on strategic positions on the mountain. By this time, our comrades from Bikita had already left.
I felt agitated when I saw a cloud of smoke from a distance of about four kilometers approaching our direction. All went according to plan as two Bedford trucks which were on the front of the convoy were blown by the mines. We swifitly attacked the other three trucks, blowing them with our boozes and retreated as fast as we could since we knew the air force would not be far behind since it was still morning.
The attack marked the liberation of that zone as Rhodesians never came back to that area again.
In our own way, we had avenged the gruesome attack of Kamungoma.
