because of the strong links on 8 in the UR 18, r23c49, the 1 in r3c9 is already eliminated.
 
but ignoring that
 
the UR provides a xy-wing{46}r23c9, {16}r1c8, {14}r4c8
 
 
eliminates the 4 in r5c9 |

				| While looking to see what could be done with the 18 UR, I noticed that the DP killer was either a 4 or 6 in r23c9. This pseudo cell served as the pivot of a 461 XY-Wing, which was all that was needed. |
