![]() Sometimes a middle-aged woman appears on a balcony, yelling in Cantonese at someone in her family to return for dinner. All its balconies are covered with laundry and flowers such as roses, chrysanthemums, lilies and hibiscus - Cantonese people like flowers and arrange them well, often in window boxes that decorate the streets and houses, bringing a little gentle beauty to the cityscape. Across the alley is another identical apartment block. I could have lived in the more modern Tianhe District like most of my friends but I like the narrow cobblestone alley in front of the building, where old people gather in the late afternoons under a spreading banyan tree to play mahjong or sing Cantonese opera. I know her apartment building, like other shabby two- to three-storey buildings in the neighbourhood, will be torn down and replaced by another high-rise in less than a year. The landlord wants me to sign a one-year lease, but I have only agreed to a six-month term. Mine is on the top but the view is blocked by a forest of half-built commercial high-rises. The greyish building, stuccoed, slanting slightly to the right, is a conversion from a single-family house owned by a grocery store proprietor - now the landlord - and has six units. After my marriage ends I move to a one-bedroom apartment five blocks from the university where I studied twelve years ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() My short stories have twice been featured in Gardner Dozois’ ‘Highly Recommended’ lists in The Year’s Best Science Fiction and The Year’s Best Fantasy.

It’s been a while since I read Renegades but when I started reading this, all the goodness came flowing back! ![]() ![]() ![]() Insecure people are big on inflating how unique they are and how special the conditions surrounding their work are. "This might work for others, but it's not for me." ![]() When a highly insecure person has a strong and dismissive reaction to a new initiative, it may be a sign that they realize they will have to put more effort into their work, and they feel threatened by it. They may suspect that someone, most often those in leadership, are out to "get" them. Highly insecure people who don't believe they're validated and appreciated at work can become paranoid. 3. "This is just another way for management to cut jobs." They mostly talk about trying new things at best. "I've already tried this, but it didn't work." And they rarely have any deliberate or mindful strategies of how to prioritize their tasks. Usually, it's not that they don't have enough time it's that they don't know how to manage it effectively. Here are seven things highly insecure people say when they sense that change is coming: 1. ![]() ![]() ![]() We expect that you will understand our compulsion in these books.

Like HIV, HCV is primarily transmitted through parenteral exposures. In 2012, 22,972 Americans died of liver cancer, 28,972 were newly diagnosed, and HCV-related deaths surpassed all 60 other nationally notifiable diseases combined. In the United States, in 2007, the number of deaths related to HCV overtook the number of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-related deaths. An estimated 2.7–3.9 million Americans live with HCV infection. Globally, liver cancer is the second most common form of cancer death, and in the United States, occurrences are increasing at a higher rate than any other form of cancer except thyroid cancer. Of these, 15–30% will be diagnosed with liver fibrosis or cirrhosis, and 5% will die from cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Approximately 80% of HCV infections develop into the chronic state. Worldwide, almost 3% of people are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). ![]() |
