Novel coronavirus update - 27th January 2020
Note: for the most recent information see our main novel coronavirus page.
No cases of novel coronavirus have been reported in New Zealand. However there have been more than 2,000 cases reported internationally, including four confirmed cases in Australia.
The Ministry is taking this outbreak extremely seriously.
Today, the Ministry's Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield and Director of Public Health Dr Caroline McElnay spoke to media.
Dr Bloomfield told reporters that New Zealand is prepared and very ready to deal with the novel coronavirus outbreak.
Dr Bloomfield confirmed that there is still a risk that the illness will arrive in New Zealand. However, the likelihood of further transmission - if we do get a case - to another person, is low to moderate and the likelihood of a sustained outbreak in New Zealand remains low.
As an additional measure, tomorrow the Ministry will stand up the National Health Coordination Centre (NHCC). The NHCC is a structure through which the Ministry can nationally coordinate and manage the health responses to and recovery from emergencies.

Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) update - Monday 27 January 2020
Kia ora koutou katoa. Welcome to the Ministry of Health. Thank you very much for attending this briefing this afternoon. My name is Dr. Ashley Bloomfield. I'm the Director-General of health. And with me, also, I have beside me here, Dr. Caroline McElnay, who is the Director of Public Health. And many of you will have spoken with Caroline or heard her in interviews over the last few days.
We wanted to just update you on the work that's happening to both prepare ourselves and ensure we are very ready to deal with the novel coronavirus outbreak in China, and now with some infections in countries outside of China. So as you will be aware, there is, of around midday today, there are over 2,000 confirmed cases globally-- 2,014, in fact, in the latest WHO report. Fully, 98% of those cases are in China-- largely, mainland China, with sporadic cases and a number of other countries, including four in Australia, as you will be aware. It's important to emphasize at this point that the situation in New Zealand remains unchanged and I will come back to that.
So just to reiterate our key messages here from a health perspective. All travelers coming to New Zealand who become sick within a month of their arrival are encouraged to seek medical advice and/or contact health line or a doctor, and share their travel history. This is not new. This is advice that people routinely receive on entering the country. And this messaging has been enhanced, of course, over the last few weeks. In fact, our first advisory went out on the 6 of January.
There is, of course, as you can imagine, a high level of awareness, and of course, concern about the novel coronavirus. So unsurprisingly, people are aware of it and of what they should do when they enter the country. And you will also be aware that as of this morning, at Auckland and Christchurch Airports, there are public health staff meeting people coming off flights directly arriving from China. You also may be aware that the two flights this morning, first thing this morning in Auckland, over 560 people met.
And the media reporting on that is that they were wearing masks on the plane. A high level of awareness. No one had any symptoms. And they all received information about what to do if they did become symptomatic.
The personal hygiene messages for anybody around this particular illness are the same as for any respiratory illness. Frequent washing of hands. Good cough and sneeze etiquette. Covering mouth and nose when you sneeze. And of course, very important, staying at home and isolating yourself if you are sick, and avoiding close contact with others.
So I've mentioned the enhanced border measures we have with public health staff present at the border. We have a cross-government border working group that is convened at MIT on Friday. It has representatives from a range of government agencies, as you might expect. All government agencies have been updated on the situation and on the actions that they can undertake as part of the cross government effort. The border response, as I've said, has a particular emphasis on Auckland and Christchurch Airports that have direct flights arriving from China.
Also, just having read just now through the latest situation report from the World Health Organization, effectively, their advice hasn't changed at this point. There remains some gaps in information that all countries are seeking to fill as quickly as possible. The WHO does not recommend any specific measures for travelers. And it also advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China based on current information.
And I think I'd just like to finish with a comment, coming back to my point at the start. The situation in New Zealand remains unchanged. We haven't yet had a case here in New Zealand. However, our assessment is the likelihood of us getting a case is high. And it may well be, as in Australia with their first case the person, who was subsequently diagnosed had in fact traveled and was asymptomatic when they came into the country and developed symptoms a few days later.
We may well find ourselves in a similar situation at this stage. We don't have any cases. A high likelihood we will. We've also assessed that the likelihood of transmission if we do get a case, of when we get a case, to another person is probably low to moderate, because we are prepared and ready. And at this stage, based on current information, our assessment is the likelihood of a sustained community outbreak remains low. We are constantly reviewing that assessment and will continue to do so.
So in summary, we are well-prepared. We're actively working on this issue. We have been since the 6 of January. And we continue to work on it very actively over the weekend. We are well-connected with our Australian colleagues. And we will continue to work closely with them. And from tomorrow morning, we will be standing up our national health coordination center. So perhaps at a future briefing here, we'll plan to hold briefings regularly. We welcome you coming down and having a look at that in HCC, which is down in the basement of the ministry. Kia katou, and welcome to ask any questions. Myself and Dr. McElnay will answer.
When was the last time we screened for illness at our borders?
So the regular border measures are that every passenger coming into New Zealand receives information about what to do if they become unwell. The last time, in my recollection that we had, specific border screening was during the 2009 swine flu pandemic.
Do authorities have the power to quarantine passengers? And if not, why not?
There is a quarantine power available to medical officers of health for notifiable diseases. This particular condition, we have going into the process for cabinet approval to become notifiable. I do say it's very, very unusual to use quarantine powers. And effect during the flu pandemic, they didn't need to be used because people generally do self-isolate. And so we'll be relying on people to self-isolate if they are symptomatic or indeed, if or when someone is diagnosed with the illness.
You said the likelihood of getting a case here is high.
Could you go into some details as to why that is? Why is it high?
Well, the likelihood is high because we can see a range of other countries that have had small numbers of cases of people coming in. We know that people can be asymptomatic for up to, say, 14 days with the illness. So they may be incubating it when they come into the country. And we still have people arriving in the country who have come from China, either directly or via Australia or via other countries.
Rotorua Hospital assessed three patients and then let them go when they were still within that 14 day period.
Why was that able to happen?
That was able to happen-- so there was a group that had been on the same flight as the first person diagnosed and confirmed as a case in Australia. The information and follow up went well. That group was assessed by St. John in Rotorua yesterday. Three of that group of 19 had further assessment at the hospital and were clinically assessed to be not displaying symptoms of a viral illness. Some tests were taken, but there was no reason to isolate those people.
The whole group, as with other travelers coming into the country, have very good information about what to do. And there will be daily contact with that group.
Would you say those take awhile to show up? And is that safe practice to let them go?
Our assessment is it is quite safe practice. And I just want to emphasize-- these people who have been assessed by specialists in the hospital who are used to seeing people with viral illness and assessed as not displaying symptoms of a viral illness.
How can you just explain how the screening process worked? Were they screened on the bus or in a hospital?
So that group was in Rotorua. They stayed put once they had seen the information that had come through from Australia via email. And they were actually assessed at the place they were in Rotorua by St. John staff on initial assessment. Three were then referred on to the hospital for further assessment. And I've told you the outcome of their assessment.
Is there any indication--
So basically, after the first assessment, they see these three people have some kind of symptom or seem unwell?
That-- it was based on their assessment, on the symptoms or the people's history they gave and not on any particular clinical signs. So they felt that there was-- it was warranted to refer them for further clinical assessment, and that was done at the hospital.
How confident are you that no one on that bus was carrying coronavirus?
Well, they've been assessed, and at this stage, the clinical assessment has-- and this is the same as with anyone who is at the border, the same as those people on the bus. They're not symptomatic at the moment. They know what to do if they do get symptoms. There was a question at the back, yeah.
Is there any intention to screen the flights coming in from Australia, considering many of them will have come from China?
That's under active consideration, and in fact, people could be coming via Australia from China. But there are other ways we can ensure that people have access to the information they need, including airport announcements. There are electronic banners there, and the information is very visible and widely available. And again, I think in particular, because of wide media reporting, a high level of awareness amongst travelers.
Given that such-- given we do have a lot of flights from Australia, I mean, that would be a big operation. What's the kind of thinking going into making that decision?
So I think there are two key considerations here. The border response is important and needs to be proportionate to the other parts of our response, because having public health staff at the border is just one part of the duties that public health units and other clinical staff need to do as part of preparing for and, of course, managing if we do get a case. So the border presence needs to be proportionate.
What we do know is the most important thing we need to do at the border is ensure people have good information about what to do, and that's the second point here. You'll be aware that there's some reporting today that-- reports out of China that it's possible people are infectious before they show symptoms. And again, so it's most important at the border that people have good information. They know what to do if they do become symptomatic.
Just one correction to what has been reported there-- the WHO situation report includes information that in the case of MERS-- that's the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome-- there are reports of people being infectious prior to having symptoms. So that is something that has happened in other coronaviruses. It's not unique to this novel coronavirus.
Could you walk us through what you mean by a sustained community outbreak? What does that actually look like in practice?
I think that's a good one for Dr. McElnay to respond to.
OK, thank you. So we-- if, from the information that we've got to date, if we had a case, we may expect to see another case from a close contact of that case, but it would be very limited. By sustained community transmission, we're talking about a situation where there is a rapidly increasing number of cases, a bit like what we saw with measles in Auckland where you can see a rapid increase in cases developing from that first case. Now, we don't think that that will be the situation in New Zealand, and that's for a combination of reasons, one being the information that we've got about the infectiousness of this virus, but also about our ability to respond to identify those initial cases to ensure that isolation is happening and make sure that that person is not then passing the virus onto others.
So basically--
So you guys simply--
--we're quite well prepared now, and getting ahead of it beforehand is what is going to stop from essentially being an outbreak?
I think it's really important that we get ahead and that that is the key that we do not want to see, is that sustained community outbreak. And that's been our focus with our health professionals, is really making them aware of what they need to do so that we're not in that situation.
Some of the passengers that we spoke to this morning in Auckland Airport say that the pamphlets they received in Mandarin, they weren't very helpful. Can you explain to us what's in those pamphlets and if you think that the info could be improved?
Well, I'm not certain what the "not very helpful" means. The information that's there is translated from the same information that's available in English. It's very similar to the information that's being given out in Australia. So we would need to just find out more about why that's not helpful. It's quite basic, simple information and is the advice about being aware of any symptoms and about seeking-- either ringing Healthline or seeking health care if symptoms develop.
Is it correct that the SARS vaccine can be used to prevent severe symptoms, and if so, what is the situation with New Zealand's supplies?
There is no vaccine for this virus, this coronavirus, so I'm not sure where that information has come from with regard to a SARS vaccine. There is some development already happening in terms of looking at a vaccine, but that is likely to be a few months away before there would even be a vaccine developed, and then there's-- a production of vaccine always takes time.
So the person that-- or the person or people, albeit a small amount, what's the likelihood that it's going to be a fatality?
Yeah. Well, I guess the best information we have at the moment from the Chinese authorities is that the fatality rate is around 2% to 3%. In fact, the latest information, it's around 3%. So you can work that out for yourself. I think, just to put that in context, that's a relatively low fatality rate, just as this virus has got relatively low infectiousness. So the current data suggests that every person who might have the illness will infect around two to three people. You can contrast that with measles, where every person with measles infects about 14 other people.
So it's much lower infectiousness and it's a relatively low mortality rate. I think of particular importance, though, here is that what we are seeing in China is around 15% to 20% of people have quite severe illness. So one of the things we are planning for is to ensure that our hospitals and our ICUs have capacity, should we get a number of cases, that we're able to look after those people well.
So the likelihood of it coming to New Zealand is high, but the likelihood of someone dying is low.
Yeah. So the risk of people dying in New Zealand would be similar at this stage to what their risk is from what we're seeing in China.
There are people turning up on flights who are wearing masks. International media have said that this actually doesn't do much in terms of preventing the spread of the virus. What's the Ministry of Health's official word on that?
So I think people should wear masks if they feel that that is protecting them and/or if they feel they may be harboring symptoms of any illness, whether it's a common cold, influenza, then it's appropriate to wear a mask. And that's an individual decision.
Is it effective, though?
Well, I think there's limited evidence around the effectiveness, but certainly wouldn't discourage people from wearing masks if they wish to.
Is the ministry advising cabinet on whether to make the disease notifiable, as they're meeting tomorrow?
Yes we are, and cabinet meets tomorrow morning, as you've said, and they will be discussing this very issue.
What will-- apart from a lab quarantine, what will the notifiable status allow you to do? What's the basis of that?
So the notifiable status makes it compulsory for the disease to be notified every case. Of course at the moment, we have a high level of awareness and we have regular discussions with the public health units and we have information out to professionals, so we are receiving information about any suspect cases anyway. This will just formalize that. There is a number of diseases that are already notifiable, and there are some other powers that that gives the Medical Officer of Health. Perhaps, Caroline, you could speak to that.
So it's really in case we need to use powers, that it allows Medical Officers of Health to have the powers of isolation. At the moment, for non-notifiable diseases-- and as we said earlier, most people do comply-- but there may be the occasional situation where the risk to the public is greater, and so powers have to be used in making it notifiable. Means that legally, the Medical Officer of Health is able to do that.
What sort of contact have you had--
Do you--
--with the Chinese government?
Sorry, we have someone over here with a question, then we'll come back for you.
Do you have plans to screen everyone who was on that flight with the Australian person who fell ill?
So the particular risk, and this is what Australia were working on the basis of, is they were particularly seeking the people who were seated two rows in front of and two rows behind. That's standard practice. The person who became ill, other passengers on the flight were notified. That's how the group in Rotorua were notified, and we've have acted on that and are daily following up just to check on those people.
So did the group in Rotorua contact the authorities, or did the authorities contact them?
The authorities contacted them. So the contact tracing works-- and I just want to emphasize again, we're working very closely with our Australian colleagues and are very much in step with them. They have daily teleconferences that we participate on. We've spoken with the chief medical officer. So there's constant sharing of information, and we are used to sharing information across the Tasman to support contact tracing.
Are you still seeking anyone else for screening?
Not at this point, no.
So it's voluntary.
So there's a question-- yeah, sorry, it's a question over here.
Oh no, go ahead.
All right. So it's voluntary checks at the moment at the airport. When do you envision it becoming mandatory?
So what is happening at the airport now is that people being greeted off the flights from China are receiving information, and if they have any symptoms at all, are being asked to self-identify and would then be assessed by a public health nurse. Again, remembering my reading of this is everybody coming off the flights had a mask on. There's a high level of awareness, and I don't think we're in a situation where people would be trying to hide symptoms. I think there's a very high level of awareness and consciousness of what is appropriate to do if you do have symptoms.
But if there is a bit of confusion, like a language barrier or anything like that, do you think mandatory checking might become necessary at some point if the disease gets worse in New Zealand?
It may be. All options, of course, are on the table. We believe our activities are proportionate with the current situation and they're certainly in step with what Australia is doing.
How much contact have you had with the Chinese government over the outbreak?
So we don't have direct contact with the Chinese government. However, as you can imagine, our Foreign Affairs colleagues in China and in other countries are very much a part of information flows and are keeping us well informed about what is happening in China as well as other countries that have got cases.
Do you believe what's coming out-- what the Chinese government is saying about the outbreak and the number of deaths and the number of people that are infected?
I've no reason to have any questions about the data that are coming out. And in fact, having watched the briefing from the WHO Director-General a few days ago after the meeting of the emergency committee there, he was repeatedly complementing the Chinese government on their transparency and the way they were sharing data, recalling that they immediately shared the genotype of this virus once they had typed it-- in fact, on full genome sequencing on the 7th of January-- and that has been instrumental in helping get a diagnostic test and instrumental in helping get the early work underway towards a vaccine. So I have no reason to believe that the Chinese are being anything other than very open and helpful.
Can you give us an idea of the numbers of people that you're having to advise each day, like how many people are arriving from flights from China every day in New Zealand?
Sure. Well, on the first two flights-- there are, I understand, six flights a day coming directly into China. The first two flights had 560 people. There is one flight a day into Christchurch. So I guess we're looking at-- that's probably somewhere between 1,000 and 2,000 people a day, and some of those people will be coming as part of the Chinese New Year celebrations. Which again, we have a range of channels we are getting information out in Chinese into the Chinese community, both here and people arriving. So those channels are all being used.
And what's the total number that you've screened so far, and what do you expect for the number to screen?
Well, on those first two flights, there was no one who self-identified as symptomatic, so there was no one who required further clinical assessment. But every person was handed out the relevant information about what to do if they did develop symptoms.
What happens during a screening?
So, I mean, this is an interesting thing. In a sense, having people at the border looking at people coming off the flight is, you could argue, a form of screening. Mostly when people talk about screening, they're talking about assessment of people's temperature using thermo screening machines. That's an issue we're actively looking at to see whether that's an option for us here in New Zealand. The challenge is it's not very specific. It picks up anyone with a slightly high temperature. And of course, the other issue here is that people could be, and are likely to be, asymptomatic when they come through the border. So screening per se is just one element of the border response. The most important thing, just to reiterate that, is that everybody's receiving relevant information about what to do should they develop symptoms. I think we've got time for maybe one more question.
Some countries are looking at evacuating their citizens--
--who are in Wuhan. Is New Zealand looking at that, and if so, what would the protocol be for them returning here?
So that would be an issue for our Foreign Affairs colleagues, and my understanding is the prime minister this morning indicated she would be seeking advice from them about that.
Has the Ministry of Health's response changed at all though, now that we know the disease can be transmitted before symptoms appear? Have you changed your response?
We're continuing to step up our response in line with all new information, and the most significant thing is that we will be activating our National Health Coordination Centre tomorrow just to help consolidate our response. And again, if there's an opportunity in the next few days, if you'd like to come down and have a look at that, we'll afford you that opportunity. Thank you very much for your time this afternoon, and we will keep you fully briefed over the next few days. Thanks again.
All travellers to New Zealand who become sick within a month of their arrival are encouraged to seek medical advice and contact Healthline at 0800 611 116 or a doctor and share their travel history. It is important to mention recent travel from Hubei Province, particularly Wuhan. And any known contact with someone with severe acute respiratory illness who has been in Hubei Province, particularly Wuhan.
As with all respiratory illnesses, people can take steps to reduce their risk of infection. This includes regularly washing hands, covering your mouth & nose when you sneeze, staying home if you are sick and avoiding close contact with anyone with cold or flu-like symptoms.

Virgin territory: why the Japanese are turning their backs on sex
Roland Kelts
Young people in Japan – particularly men – are shunning physical love, and they're not the only ones
Couples gather to enjoy the blossom in Tokyo's parks, but many young Japanese are having less active sex lives. Photograph: Charly Triballeau/AFP/Getty Images

The grounds of Tokyo's Yoyogi Park have been colonised by beautiful youth: women and men beneath the cherry blossoms surrounded by bottles of wine, sake and shochu, cases of beer and plastic bags stuffed with finger foods – drinking, playing games and sharing smartphone screens as the buds bloom and fall.
Hanami (flower-viewing) parties are a centuries-old rite of spring, a national symbol of life's beauty and brevity. But as I walk by them this month, I can't help but wonder if any of the pink-faced revellers are hooking up, or even care enough to try.
Are we really in the middle of a global sex recession?
"Sexless Japan" is now a reliable media meme. Bolstered by a plummeting birth rate and an ageing population (leading to dire predictions of a future Japan devoid of Japanese), this portrait of the nation's celibate society has been further enhanced by a paradox: Japan's cultural imagination is embedded with erotic imagery, from 17th-century shunga woodblock prints to what non-Japanese today often mistakenly call hentai (perverse) pornographic manga and anime. The sex lives of the Japanese, the story goes, have been almost entirely sublimated.
I once wrote about this phenomenon (sekkusu-banare, drifting away from sex) on this website, and talked about it in a BBC documentary called No Sex Please, We're Japanese. Both times I was careful to imply what is now obvious: it isn't just happening in Japan.
Recent reports from the US, UK and Germany also show dampening sex drives among the young, postponed marriages, fewer babies being born. Dimmed economic prospects and financial insecurity thwart physical desire, while greater access to online porn, dating sims, games and the dopamine highs of social media siphon away desire's fuel: time and money. But regardless of their passports, the primary inactives are men.
In Japan, virginal, sexually uninterested males have been saddled with pejorative labels: soshoku danshi (passive grass-eaters), otaku (asocial geeks), and at the darker end, hikikomori (shut-ins living with and off their parents). At best, they are portrayed as awkward loners raised in the afterglow of Japan's postwar boom, redeemable only through meagre acts of chivalry – a stereotype spawned by the 2005 domestic hit movie, Train Man. At worst, they are hopeless symptoms of the country's humiliating irrelevance. China is rising, the US is moving on, Japan is left behind.
The University of Tokyo's latest study of Japan's "virginity crisis" focuses on financial, regional and generational data. No surprise: the majority of the population's sexless men (one in four young adults, as of 2015) are not gainfully employed. They're either jobless or work part-time and live in smaller cities or suburban/rural areas.
Money and mobility matter to women, and these men have neither. (Data for same-sex couples in Japan is not yet available.)
What is striking is the comparatively high number of young adult Japanese who, well into their 30s, have had some sex but gave it up, and now have no interest in finding an intimate partner at all. Dr Peter Ueda, one of the study's co-authors (and, like me, a "hafu": half-Japanese), tells me that this is where cultural norms may be at play. Matchmaking (omiai) persisted in Japan through the boom years of the 1980s, when the task shifted from village elders to corporate managers. In the 21st century, modernisation, westernisation, and the collapse of Japan's economic "bubble" made arranged coupling superfluous.
"[Japanese] society is not as eager to get you married any more," Ueda says. "It's increasingly your own responsibility to fend for yourself in the mating market."
Japan leads the way in sexless love | Roland Kelts
Japan is famously communal; wa, group harmony, is prioritised. Standing out by fending for yourself can be risky business – like posting unpopular words or pictures on Twitter and Instagram. Public physical displays of affection have long been frowned upon. (No one in my Japanese family has ever hugged me.) Handholding happens, but isn't commonplace. Dating back to Japan's first contact with westerners, the handshake remains an alien form of greeting: unhygienic, weird, reserved for foreigners. Bow and keep your distance. Even saying "I love you" in Japanese (aishiteru) is virtually verboten, uttered mainly as a joke (safest to say suki: "I like you … a lot").
All of which may still make Japan the perfect storm of our sexless futures, where physical contact and face-to-face intimacy are fluttering to the ground like so many cherry petals.

Obituary for Walter Henningsen
WALTER HENNINGSEN was born on March 4, 1929 to Peter and Marie (Hendricksen) Henningsen in Persia, Iowa. He moved with his family to Elkton, South Dakota in 1942, then a year later they relocated South of Verdi, Minnesota where he attended Verdi Public School, graduating in 1946. Walt went on to work for various farmers in the area. On August 1, 1951, he was united in marriage to Dorothy Kuehl at Grace Lutheran Church in Lake Benton, Minnesota. The couple made their home in Pipestone, Minnesota where Walt worked for Feckers Egg Company. In 1954, they moved to a farm one mile north of Verdi, before settling into the farm on the East side of town. Walt continued to reside on the farm with Dorothy until just before he passed away on November 8, 2018 at the Colonial Manor in Balaton, Minnesota at the age of 89 years, 8 months, and 4 days.
Walt was a lifetime member of Grace Lutheran Church. He served on the Church Council, Lincoln County Planning Commission, and the Town and Community Boards. He was a member of the Sportsman Club, and was a Master of the McKliney Masonic Lodge #251. Walt was very proud of his work done through the El Riad Shrine that led to the sponsored care of two young burn patients. In addition to being a farmer for life, he was also a school bus driver for several years. Walt was a John Deere man and enjoyed restoring old tractors, he could fix anything. He also had a knack for carpentry and made several clocks. His other hobbies include training Roy, his dog of 13 years. He was also an avid collector of arrowheads and rocks found mostly on the farm. His children even say he is the inventor of the "weather rock," if the rock is wet – it's raining. Walt's legacy is filled with these one-liners and plenty of stories that start off with "When I was a kid…" but he will truly be remembered for his willingness to help anyone. His family was so very important to him and he will be greatly missed.
Walt is survived by his wife Dorothy, of Verdi; children, Barbara (Robert) Plueger of Tomah, Wisconsin, Jim (Antoinette) of St. Joseph, Minnesota, and David (Jan) of Sibley, Iowa; 8 grandchildren and 3 step-grandchildren, Jenny, Melissa, Brad, Bobbi Jo, Gavin, Amanda, Evan, and Mystic, Heather, Emily, and Robert; 11 great-grandchildren and 7 step-grandchildren, Blaine, Ashlin, Jessica, Hailey, Carter, Ella, Brady, Brielle, Cash, Jaxton, Jett, Nicholas, Christopher, Matthew, Abigail, Sam, Joe, and Kate; and his brother, John Henningsen. He was preceded in death by his parents; sister, Norma Jean; and 3 brothers, Werner, Donald, and Reinhold.

Have you ever burned a baking pan? It usually happens when you begin doing some thing else whilst cooking, which is a huge mistake. Some housewives are good in multitasking, but you have to know what you're performing and to be absolutely concentrated on all duties. Or else, you will burn up something.
When you ingest cooked oven cleaning meals, your body acts as if it has been poisoned. White blood cells are produced and rush to your defence. This immune response is recognized as leukosytosis. If you eat raw food, or at minimum 50%twenty five uncooked meals in each meal, this doesn't happen.
I used to check the front web page several times a day hoping to see 1 of my posts there. But, I gave up that behavior long in the past. I know that if I do at any time get a featured post, it will most likely have a spike in page views and comments. Now, when I check the highlighted articles, I see that AC posts a remark telling the author that he is on the front web page. I believe that's a fantastic concept so the writer is certain to see the article in its second of glory.
Body odor is generally caused by the action of bacteria that are current on the pores and skin. It can be of numerous different types. It is not much tough to know the signs and symptoms as everyone is blessed with the natural capability of smell and difference in between good and poor smell. The primary stage of problem in this regard is the reason behind this awkward scent.
The easiest that you can do, is to fill in the pan with hot drinking water and to put two tablespoons of liquid dish washing cleaning soap in it. Stir nicely and leave the pan for a night. If you want you can place the soap first and then to pour the scorching drinking water, in purchase to combine them better. In the early morning, you must try to remove the burned bits of meals from the pan, and if you can't – place an additional part of the above mixture in it for an additional night. Rub the burnt area with the back aspect of a sponge on the 2nd early morning, and wash with scorching water and dish-washing cleaning soap. It will become as thoroughly clean as new.
The previously mentioned solutions are typically regular for working with a Oven Cleaning Hoddesdon business. Consider the fact that de-cluttering is not 1 of these solutions. You will require to do a basic pickup of your home prior to the cleaner comes. There are other solutions, however, that you might be able to ask for. Maintain in thoughts that these frequently incur an additional cost.
I see that want to be rid of the unwanted in my customers, and in myself. We want to be various, much better, changed. And we want it now. A new job, a new body, a new partnership, a new way of residing. I want what I don't have, and what I have I don't want.
Make sure to keep the dress in a cool, dry location by no means in a moist basement or scorching attic.Look at your wedding ceremony dress once each yr to be sure that no formerly-undetected stains or yellowing of the material are going on. Make certain you catch issues rapidly.

Art School security cordon could be reduced in two weeks as bosses issue update
Dismantling work continues on the Mackintosh Building – and it's hoped locals can return to their homes and businesses in a fortnight
South facade and east gable downtakings
The security cordon around the fire-damaged Art School building could be reduced in two weeks, bosses confirm.
It is hoped Glaswegians can return to their homes and businesses in the area as dismantling work continues on the Mackintosh Building, which was ravaged by the blaze in June.
The east gable of the building is set to be stabilised within the next fortnight, construction workers confirm.
Specialist scaffolders SGB have been working seven days a week to install the critical shoring scaffolding, which will ensure that the Dalhousie Street end of the building is safe and stable.

Last week Reigart were also on site with two cranes and two mobile elevated working platforms – toiling through 12-hour shifts and working over the weekend to progress the managed dismantling.
Dangerous masonry around the building is almost completely dismantled – except in the south-west corner. Plans for critical shoring and bracing have also been progressed with work already underway on the south-east corner (above Sauchiehall Street), and work on the northeast corner scheduled to begin later this week.
Work has begun "in earnest" on the west gable with the sandstone upstand already reduced.
Following the completion of initial safety work on the ABC O2, the main crane has now been moved to the corner of Scott Street and Sauchiehall Street to facilitate access to the west end of the south facade and the west gable.
The existing scaffolding is being cut away and removed from this area allowing further access for down-takings. The sandstone upstand gables of studio 58 (above the library) have now been reduced with the majority of the stone lowered to street level for cataloguing and removal to off site storage.

Tom Inns, Director of The Glasgow School of Art said: "The shoring scaffolding on Dalhousie Street, which is the critical part of the work to make the east gable safe, is on schedule for completion in the next two weeks.
"After this we hope very much that Glasgow City Council Building Control will reduce the size of the security cordon.
"We continue to work seven days a week to make the whole of the Mackintosh Building stable as soon as possible so that the community can return to their homes and businesses.
"Our primary focus to date has been on the east gable and south facade which are most significantly impacting on the community, but following initial safety work on the ABC O2 we have now begun dismantling the dangerous parts of the west gable in earnest."

Fluctuations In Somalia's Rainy Seasons Sign Of Climate Change; Flooding Displaces 370K, Threatens Famine
The Guardian: 'We have nothing': Somalia floods raise specter of famine
"…About 370,000 people have been displaced so far due to flooding, according to the latest U.N. figures. Authorities have not yet said how many people died in the flooding, Somalia's worst in recent history. … The Somali president, Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, who visited the town and waded through submerged areas, called the devastation 'beyond our capacity' and pleaded for more help from aid groups…" (Mumin/Burke, 11/19).
New Humanitarian: Weather and war: How climate shocks are compounding Somalia's problems
"…Somalia's two rainy seasons — the Gu' from April to June, and the Deyr from October to December — have dictated the lives of farmers and pastoralists for centuries. But extremes, like the failure of the Gu' and the exceptionally heavy Deyr, no longer seem so abnormal, and point to the growing impact of climate change in a country that, due to almost three decades of conflict, is already one of the world's most vulnerable…" (Santur, 11/19).

The 2019 Honda Insight Coming Soon to Everett is Honda's newest hybrid sedan, slotted just between the Civic and the Accord in the model lineup. With a conservative yet sleek design that will likely appeal to a wide audience and a great array of safety and infotainment technology, the 2019 Honda Insight is definitely one to look out for if you're thinking of switching to green cars this year.
The 2019 Honda Insight Coming Soon to Everett may not have as dramatic lines as many of its siblings, but it still maintains Honda's great design sense, and continues to be something that even style conscious-people might pick up.
Inside has enough room for five passengers, and base features include cloth seating, heated mirrors, push-button start, and a six-speaker audio system with Bluetooth. Trunk capacity is 15.1 cubic feet, which is particularly generous for a hybrid vehicle (considering that many have a trunk that is reduced thanks to the presence of the battery).
The 2019 Honda Insight comes standard with the Honda Sensing system, an intelligent suite of driver-assistive features that help you monitor the road. These include collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, and traffic sign recognition. These systems have become more and more common in the automotive industry, and it's great to see them standard.
Inside, the infotainment system of the 2019 Honda Insight Coming Soon to Everett includes support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the option of an eight-inch touch screen, HondaLink, an option for mobile hotspot capability, and the chance to upgrade to a 450-watt premium audio system. Leather seats are optional on the LX and EX models of the 2019 Honda Insight, and standard on the Touring. The latter two also get split-folding 60/40 seats, which help to increase the already-generous cargo area. Other features include a moonroof, dual-zone climate control, rain-sensing wipers, and power-adjustable front seats.
Honda's Insight is their latest offering to the hybrid market, and it's one that many people will likely appreciate. With its mass-appeal design and its excellent suite of standard features, the Insight is definitely a contender within the hybrid sedan market. Call Klein Honda of Everett at 425-355-7500 to ask any questions that you may have about the 2019 Honda Insight or any other upcoming Honda vehicles.

Early-Stage Funding: Replacing Dwindling VC and Alliance Dollars?
We live in strange times. Venture capitalists, the traditional support for research-stage biopharmas, have been pulling back from early stage investments. Some are moving downstream, some are choosing not to raise new funds, others are exiting life science investment altogether. A few stalwarts – firms like Third Rock, Flagship and Atlas – have stayed the course, continuing to invest in unprecedented, high-science ideas. Although they've shown themselves able to re-up their funds, in some cases out-raising their last funds by good measure, it's too early to say that their portfolio bets will pay off.
Pharma has been stepping into the breach, acting as LP or co-investor with venture. But it's not enough to reverse the fall in Series A rounds.
What's odd is that, despite the decline in VC investment, we're seeing a steady trickle of truly novel products come to market. Immunotherapy, epigenetics, gene therapy, optimized antibodies aimed at exciting new targets – they're all working their way through the pipeline. But venture's declining interest (overall) in early stage start-ups has been going on for over five years now. Shouldn't we be seeing some signals of scarcity or a fall-off in quality?
So we speculated that maybe that other fount of early stage support, big pharma alliances, is compensating for the drop in venture dollars. Maybe big pharma through its business development activities is correcting for the absence of venture with non-dilutive support for fledgling companies.
But early stage alliance funding, as measured by disclosed upfront payments, has also been trending down. The chart above measures upfront dollars from big pharma/biotech collaborations and licensings. At its current run rate – as best this can be predicted – the alliance line will finish 2013 at around $940 million, sharply reversing its five-year downward trend.
As to the apparent paradox of a healthy, productive pipeline in the absence of the high investment levels seen in prior years, it appears that the most interesting ideas continue to be funded. As Bruce Booth of Atlas Ventures wrote in his blog two years ago ". . . less capital chasing fewer companies with more disciplined investors offers a mix that bodes well for returns from early stage investing."
Solid returns is good news for investors, for sure. But is that what pharma, whose own internal labs are sputtering, needs from these engagements? And what about the potential for new players, like crowdfunders, to disrupt the life science investment supply chain? In the next few years, we may be looking at a markedly different environment for financing early stage ideas.
We intend to probe these and other matters at Elsevier's 2013 PSA: The Pharmaceutical Strategy Conference in the panel "Funding Biotech: New Ways to Create Value." We'll be joined by Gregory Simon, CEO of Poliwogg; Martin Shkreli, CEO of Retrophin; Noubar Afeyan, CEO of Flagship Ventures; Mark Clein, President and Founder of Precision for Medicine; and Damien McDevitt, VP and Head of Business Development for R & D Therapy Areas at GlaxoSmithKline.
We hope you'll join us.

Q: LNK 2019 Error: Qt Project works in MINGW, not in MSVC I have a project with several linked libraries. One particular library links to another and calls a symbol, which the linker claims is undefined.
I've linked to the library that should have this symbol in the .pro file as such:
win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../SourceLibrary/release/ -lSourceLibrary
else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../SourceLibrary/debug/ -lSourceLibrary
else:unix: LIBS += -L$$OUT_PWD/../SourceLibrary/ -lSourceLibrary

INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../SourceLibrary
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../SourceLibrary

This links properly using MINGW, so I'm not concerned about typos in library names or function definitions/declarations.
After examining SourceLibrary in Dependencies, I noticed that the required symbols are indeed not there.
This caused me to examine the Makefile for SourceLibrary, however the file with the required symbols was seemingly referenced in the same fashion as the other files that had symbols.
I also checked the intermediary .obj file that was supposed to contain the symbols with dumpbin, and the file indeed had these, and with the same mangling as the linker error report.
Further investigation using dumpbin /ALL revealed that the symbols were in the SourceLibrary.dll file, contradicting Dependencies, as well as the linker error.
In summary, I don't understand why both the linker and Dependencies don't see symbols that should be in a library. I suspect MSVC/MINGW compiler differences, but obviously only have a suspicion at this point.

A: Looks like this is a client app?  If this is a server, then you might want to rethink the synchronous read being done in HandleRead and make everything asynchronous.  But, for a client app or a server that has few connections it is probably ok.
100,000 is a very interesting number - to people, not to computers.  It is a number that suggests that someone somewhere has set an artificial limit.  So, if your app is a client, then check the server code to make sure it is not closing the socket connection after 100,000 messages and vice-a-versa if your app is the server.  Maybe there is a hard coded array somewhere that is dimensioned to 100,000 and throwing an error when the limit is hit which has a side effect of closing the socket connection.
Whereever you test for an error condition from an ASIO operation, add some logging info when an error is detected.  At a minimum, write out some debug data to the console.  For example, in your handleRead method, right before calling the close method, add some debug logging.  In my app, I have a class that writes it out to both the console and a log file.

Eskom threatens fastest renewable expansion
Paul Burkhardt Michael Coen
Eskom's research
Opposition from Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. and government infighting threatens to sabotage the world's fastest-growing green energy program.
Eskom is stalling on signing government-brokered deals to buy renewable energy from private producers, encouraged to develop capacity after outages over the past eight years hobbled the continent's most industrialised nation. With the economy in the doldrums, the state utility says it no longer requires additional green power, arguing it's not always available during peak demand periods and will push up prices for South African consumers.
Eskom's reticence over renewables contrasts with its enthusiasm to find bidders for nuclear plants, even after the Energy Ministry last month proposed delaying new atomic reactors by 14 years. That contradiction reflects the schism at the heart of government, where President Jacob Zuma's championing of nuclear power puts him at loggerheads with his Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan, who has questioned its affordability.
"There are strong political overtones to this," said Professor Harald Winkler, director of University of Cape Town's Energy Research Centre. "It doesn't give investors in renewable energy consistency. It's a way of exercising control by Eskom."
Increasing Risk
Eskom has refused to sign off on an agreement to purchase 250 megawatts of power from two wind projects planned by Irish clean-energy developer Mainstream Renewable Power Ltd., and a deal with Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power International to supply 100 megawatts of solar energy.
Eskom's actions are "in contravention of government policy," Mainstream Chief Executive Officer Eddie O'Connor said in a November 30 phone interview. "These guys have gone completely rogue. It's increasing the risk of outside investors investing in South Africa fairly dramatically."
Some projects haven't been signed off because they are "very expensive," Eskom spokesman Khulu Phasiwe said by phone.
"The price they are charging for their power is much higher than we are selling it for and higher than we are willing to pay," he said. "The projects that came at a reasonable price, we were able to sign them on."
Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson and Public Enterprises Minister Lynne Brown have done little to pull Eskom into line.
Since South Africa initiated its program to purchase renewable energy, independent producers have committed R194-billion ($14 billion) toward new infrastructure and as of June, 2,200 megawatts of power from 44 projects had been connected to the national grid. Asset finance for the projects rose fourfold last year, the most of any country in the world, Moody's Investors Service said in a report.
Destroying Confidence
While Joemat-Pettersson has signed off on about 37 other projects worth R58-billion that will generate 2,354 megawatts of power and create about 4,800 construction jobs, developers are still waiting for Eskom to sign the off-take agreements.
"A program like this only works if you have got certainty and you've got continuity," Wido Schnabel, head of business development for Africa at Canadian Solar, said by phone. "Now that the program has been stalled again because Eskom doesn't want to sign the power-purchase agreements, it is destroying all the confidence and all the positives."
Joematt-Pettersson told reporters on November 22 that determining South Africa's optimal energy mix must take account of cost, security of supply, efficiency and the environment. Colin Cruywagen, a spokesman for Public Enterprises Minister Brown, who oversees Eskom, didn't immediately respond to an e-mail seeking comment.
In August, SMA Solar Technology AG cited the lack of commitment toward the green energy program as the reason for shutting its Cape Town factory and transferring production to China and Germany, where it has its headquarters.
Eskom can delay projects by letting quotes for connecting plants to the grid lapse, said Hein Reyneke, Mainstream's business development manager for Africa. The quotes have been directed to the CEO's office "but nothing comes out," he said.
Eskom is building the Medupi and Kusile coal-fired plants that it estimates will cost at least R306-billion and will supply about 9,560 megawatts when both are complete. They have run over budget and are years behind schedule. Matshela Koko appointed Eskom's acting CEO on December 1 has said the utility is shielding consumers from higher tariffs by not signing new off-take agreements.
"I understand where they are coming from," said Robert Jeffrey, managing director and senior economist at Johannesburg-based advisory service Econometrix. "Eskom actually has a duty to supply efficient power at the lowest possible price. Clearly, renewables don't allow it to do that at this stage of technological development."
Monopoly Concerns
Winkler of the University of Cape Town disagrees, saying renewable energy prices, particularly for photovoltaics and wind, have come down dramatically.
"Those two are now cheaper than new coal or new nuclear," said Winkler. "Any monopoly will have concerns about competition."
South Africa only has an over-supply of electricity because of Eskom's inability to previously meet demand halted new development and choked off growth, according to Schnabel of Canadian Solar. He sees energy storage solutions improving and decreasing in cost over the next five years, enabling renewable energy to be used at any time.
"We're missing this huge opportunity," he said. The developers take the risk and "all Eskom needs to say is that they'll buy the energy from them over the next 20 years."

Tourists Cheer Montreal's 'Ale Trail'
Mark Wessel | Return
MONTRÉAL - After sampling a saison flavoured beer with the most unlikely of ingredients – mustard — we try a smoked rye porter paired with not just any poutine, but one with a rich sauce à la bière. And already, just 20 minutes into our Montréal brewpub walking tour, our taste buds are captivated.
Since the 1980s, Québec's micro industry has taken off faster than a cork from a triple fermented Belgian ale — after starting out with just three, there are now 150 breweries in the province, which makes up a third of the micro beer industry across Canada.
"The quality of our beers is attracting visitors from all over … not just Canada and the U.S. but Europe, Asia and South America," says Stephane Lussier, the man who conducts tours of Montréal's microbreweries for tourists. As a result of this demand, Local Montréal Tours, which Stephane works for, runs as many as eight tours every Saturday through different neighbourhoods.
"You could say we've become the victim of our own success," Stepahne observes.
Le Saint Bock artisanal brewery in downtown is the perfect place to start this tour, in part because of its central location immediately north of Old Montréal and south of the Plateau Montréal neighbourhood. But also because of its tremendous beer selection, with 44 beers on tap (21 brewed on site plus 23 guest taps), and over 850 bottled beers. They even have their own Beer Bible, a heavy book listing all of their beers, which really does look like one of those massive bibles you'd find in a medieval church.
Left: Raphael Richard of Soeurs Grise has helped revolutionize the micro brew industry in Québec and Canada. Right: Some of the best brew pubs are located in historic Montreal buildings.
As we move on to our next microbrewery, Stephane, himself an amateur brewer, tells us he's made 40 different beer recipes of his own.
As if to underscore the diversity of beers and flavours that beckon residents and tourists alike, at L'amère à boire we sample a German Hefeweisen, or wheat beer, with hints of banana, paired with beer gravlax (a cured meat). A highlight of our third stop at the Bennelux brewery is an Imperial stout paired with a selection of Belgian chocolate.
All three microbreweries on this tour are in close walking distance of one another and each brews an impressive selection of beers only available on site. And they're all close to Métro (subway) stations, as are the vast majority of the micros in this city. In fact, there are so many breweries at the doorstep of Métro stations, there's even a beer/subway map on a website called Thrillist. And as I discover first hand during my stay in Montréal, it really is a thrill to discover the microbrewery scene here by subway (not to mention a safer, faster way to go).
From Bennelux, the Reservoir Pub is a short subway ride away; we get off at the Saint-Laurent station.
Reservoir is deservedly known as a nanobrewery, not only because they have eight beers on tap, but because they brew in small batches — as little as 250 litres at a time, with the mindset of constantly trying new recipes. They also do 100-bottle runs of limited edition beers which are cellared and continue to mature on site.
"We make a broad selection of beers, from our IPA Citra to our Black Currant Saison. We're also big on cherry beers," observes Corin Dejonge, the pub's assistant brewer. "So we're giving people more reasons to visit more often."
On my second day discovering Montréal's micros, I come to the realization that my favourite ale trail is the Orange Line on the city's Métro — the breweries here are all top quality. There's no better proof of that than the Dieu du Ciel on Rue Laurier — loosely translated its means "God of the Sky." The God reference is arguably appropriate, as Dieu du Ciel's bottled beer is so good that it has made its way onto the shelves of stores across Canada, the U.S. and a growing number of European countries. Although they've since added a larger facility in Saint-Jérôme, north of Montréal, Rue Laurier is where it all began.
The first beer we sample at Dieu du Ciel doesn't disappoint: a tart framboise (raspberry beer) that explodes in the mouth with flavour and freshness. It's probably the best framboise I've ever tried and as I glance across the bar, I realize all three of the servers are drinking the framboise as well.
Left: Nothing goes better with Montreal beer than poutine. Right: There is plenty to cheer about in Montreal thanks to beer.
Assistant manager Kevan says a big reason for the beer's appeal is "they put a crazy amount of raspberries into this recipe. Unfortunately, we only make it in the spring, and while it's available in bottle, it's really hard to find."
As much as I desperately want to have another, I'm scheduled to visit a relatively new micro, Bistro-Brasserie Les Soeurs Grises in Old Montréal near Square Victoria Station. You have to pace yourself on these tours.
While Dieu du Ciel is a place you'll be comfortable in shorts and sandals, Les Soeurs Grise is a trendy, relatively new restaurant and bistro, which offers an upscale dining experience that draws people not just for the beer, but for its sophisticated ambiance and a food menu that includes tapas and several smoked dishes.
Partner Raphaël Richard has clearly helped up the game of this gastro brewery, drawing on years spent working in the L.A. restaurant business. "We're one of the first brewpubs with a full kitchen and almost every dish we serve features one of our beers," Raphaël proudly says.
One of the beers served here is the 7.8 per cent Ninja IPA, with notes of honey and blueberry. Thank goodness I'm taking the subway.
Raphaël sums up his passion for beer, which is clearly shared by the other microbreweries of this city, by saying: "We want people to come here and say 'my God, this beer is so good and I can't find it anywhere else, so I need to come back.' "
I'm already planning my next visit.
When you go, a good place to base yourself is the Hôtel de L'Institut next door to the Sherbrooke Metro station, a short walk to Le Saint Bock. The hotel is also just across the road from the elegant Saint-Louis Square, distinguished by its Victorian cast-iron fountain and the perfect evening retreat to savour not only Montreal's ambiance, but some of the microbrews readily available for purchase nearby. For informaiton, go to www.ithq.qc.ca/en/hotel/ Tip: it's legal to consume alcohol in Montreal's parks providing you take food with you). / Montreal's Metro offers visitors a Weeken

Fears over future energy sources
Wind turbines have become part of the landscape across Wales
There are calls for the Welsh assembly and UK governments to start planning future energy needs now, or face power cuts and job losses.
Experts at the Wales TUC conference are expected to call for more balanced and sustainable energy sources.
An appeal not to rule out nuclear energy as an option is also expected to be made at the Llandudno event.
The conference is held as opponents to plans for 230 wind turbines off north Wales lobby Llandudno town council.
The UK will soon import more gas and oil than it exports and delegates at the TUC conference will be warned the UK could be at the mercy of international events unless other resources are established.
"The sources of gas and oil will be from some of the world's most unstable countries where security of supply and price will be out of our hands," said the union's Welsh general secretary Felicity Williams.
At the same time, she said demand for energy was "likely to double over the next 50 years".
Nuclear plants such as Trawsfynydd are being decommissioned
She added: "There is increasing doubt about whether renewable energy generation such as wind farms can meet our future energy needs.
"And the nuclear fleet, which provides 20% of our current energy and emits virtually no greenhouse gases, is in the process of being decommissioned.
"Decisions on just how we fill this massive deficit will need to be made quickly and this conference will be a major contributor to that debate."
The TUC conference is also set to investigate issues of 'cleaner' coal and greenhouse gas emissions.
Last month, the Welsh Assembly Government launched consultation on a scheme to give Wales "cleaner, more efficient energy production".
On Thursday, oil firm Marathon announced it would start drilling for gas 21 miles off the Pembrokeshire coast this autumn.
The £12m project off Milford Haven will be the first commercial drilling off Wales in 11 years.
The firm said that gas reserves, which were not commercially worthwhile years ago, are now more valuable because of the increases in energy prices.
