The Strange Suburb In Sydney apos;s South-west With Three Half-houses

2021-05-28T04:48:47Z

PhyllisWilshire:

Two more half-houses have been found in the same Sydney suburb where a young family have been left distraught by the final result of their dream home. Mortgage broker Bishnu Aryal made headlines this week when he revealed he had forked out more than $700,000 for his dream home to be built - but instead ended up with a bizarre-looking duplex due to a communication bungle with construction company ZAC Homes. One side of the house is a grey and windowless wall where the other half of the building looks like it should be. Rather than having another building attached to the side, like with a regular duplex, the lot sits empty - giving the Aryal family home an unfinished look, with startled passersby even stopping to take pictures of it. As the father-of-two's predicament continues to divide the internet, with some blaming him and others the builders, two similar half-homes have been spotted in a [https://openclipart.org/search/?query=street%20parallel street parallel] to Mr Aryal's home in Edmondson Park in Sydney's south-west.

He signed a building agreement with construction company Zac Homes in 2016 for a custom off-plan build, which set him back a further $322,000. The agreement was for a free-standing home but, three years later, Mr Aryal was horrified when he checked the progress and realised contractors had built a duplex on half the block - with a huge windowless grey wall erected down the middle. 'I called the supervisor and asked him what's going on, why is the house like this? And he said 'it's a duplex, semi-duplex', and I nearly fainted that day,' Mr Aryal told A Current Affair on Monday night. 'Where's my house?' he said. 'I want the rest of my house.'

'There's been a lot of emails, messages and calls with sympathy and empathy in the last few days,' he told news.com.au. 'But nobody has been able to help.' The building company behind a bungled duplex have taken to social media refusing to take responsibility and blaming Liverpool council for the situation - despite Mr Aryal being left with 'half a house' ZAC Homes addressed the situation through their Facebook page on Tuesday, saying the situation 'hasn't been caused by us' and blamed Liverpool City Council. 'The fact is the owners of the lot next door have failed to proceed with building their home and that's why the certifier has continued to refuse to issue an Occupation Certificate,' the building company said. They also say they've waived a large fee for Mr Aryal as an offering of good faith. 'We've done all we can. We are conducting on-site meetings with the Certifier, making representations to Council, and we've lodged a complaint to Fair Trading NSW,' ZAC Homes added. 'To help alleviate some of their stress we're deferring the final payment and we've waived a fee of $23,000.' 'It's a mess. We know that.

Checkpoints Exclusion Zones And Quarantine: Reporting The Coronavirus

2021-05-28T03:59:12Z

PhyllisWilshire:

By David Stanway SHANGHAI, Jan 28 (Reuters) - A transparent plastic bag dropped at the door of my Shanghai apartment contained a handful of surgical masks along with a "friendly notice" informing me that I was under home quarantine for two weeks. The reason? I had briefly been inside the widening exclusion zone in China's Hubei province, including a stop on the train as it passed through Wuhan, the city at the epicentre of the new coronavirus. "People who returned from or passed through Hubei to enter the (Shanghai) municipality must actively submit to temperature monitoring ... and consciously implement home quarantine or submit to centralised supervision for 14 days," it said. The notice came from the Xujiahui District Novel Coronavirus-transmitted Pneumonia Epidemic Prevention and Control Leading Working Group. I need to report my temperature by phone to a member of the working group twice a day until Feb. 10. It remains normal. As a nurse standing at my door explained, the best way was to place a glass thermometer under the armpit for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] five minutes. As she spoke, a neighbour looked on anxiously. A day earlier, there had been a knock on the door from two men from the local residents' committee wearing what looked like clumsy military-issue gas masks. When I opened the door, they took a wary step back and asked when I had returned to Shanghai from Wuhan,the source of the coronavirus that has killed more than 100 people and infected over 4,500 in China as of Monday. One of the men informed me that I should know there is an "epidemic" going on in Hubei and I should be subject to special control measures, including two weeks of isolation at home. At a Shanghai government press conference on Sunday, a health official said the city was now inspecting 95 suspected cases. I wondered if I was included in that statistic. LOCK-DOWN As the number of reported coronavirus cases started to multiply last week, a Reuters multi-media team travelled to the city of Xianning, just south of Wuhan, on Friday to report on the effectiveness of Wuhan's day-old transportation lock-down. My journey included a 10-minute stop at an eerily empty platform of Wuhan train station. I did not see anyone board there. From Xianning, we reached Wuhan's southern border and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] spoke with the auxiliary police staffing the checkpoint. It became clear that it was relatively easy to get into Wuhan, as long as we didn't have wild animals or a fever, but harder to get out. Xianning itself was not in lockdown when we arrived, but within hours its [https://www.change.org/search?q=major%20roads major roads] and train station were closed and we left in a hired car, escorted by police, as soon as possible. Police said that if we headed south immediately, we would be able to beat the lockdown. On the eve of the Lunar New Year, we sped south along mostly empty highways towards Changsha, watching bursts of fireworks on the horizon. At one packed service station, families trying to get out of Hubei ate instant noodles for their new year's dinner. It was a far cry from the traditional reunion feast. We arrived in Changsha early the next morning and I was back in Shanghai the same afternoon. (Reporting by David Stanway; Editing by Mike Collett-White)

Residents Fret As China apos;s Virus Exclusion Zone Widens

By David Stanway and Martin Pollard CHANGSHA, China, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Walking through the drizzle outside the railway station in the city of Changsha on Chinese New Year, local residents said it was only a matter of time before they became part of a lockdown aimed at containing China's most lethal new contagious disease since 2003. Changsha, home to 7 million people, remains on the outside of an ever-widening exclusion zone in central China as local governments try to stop the spread of a flu-like contagious disease that originated in the city of Wuhan about 355 km (220 miles) away and has already killed 42 people. More than 10 cities in Hubei province have already been shut down, and local residents in neighbouring Hunan - the home province of Mao Zedong - said they were resigned to the possibility that they would also be sealed off in the next few days. "My first concern is for myself. I'm worried that the virus may infect me. I'm also worried about people in Hubei," said Wang Junnan, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] a 23-year-old aviation safety officer from the city of Zhuzhou, about an hour from Changsha. Nearly all cities in Hubei to the [http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=north%20cut&gs_l=news north cut] transport links over the past two days after the provincial capital Wuhan, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] a city of 11 million where the outbreak started, imposed a lock-down. "There isn't much I can do. All I can do is have the mask on whenever I can," Wang said. "You can hardly find masks to buy at this moment." One pharmacy nearby had almost sold out, with the shop assistant saying they only had one "cheaper, less effective" mask left. More than 1,300 people have been confirmed to be infected with the coronavirus, traced to a Wuhan seafood market illegally selling wildlife. The vast majority of cases have been in Hubei province. Reuters journalists were briefly stuck in the city of Xianning, which neighbours Wuhan, when the city closed transport links on Friday night, the eve of the Lunar New Year. The departures board at the city's railway station was blank, the ticket kiosk staffed by two women who said they could not sell tickets. But local authorities in Hubei and neighbouring Hunan do not yet appear to have developed a properly coordinated response to the crisis, with most cities choosing to try to seal their borders at all costs. Xianning police urged Reuters journalists to head south to the city of Yueyang, which lies across the provincial border in Hunan, but Yueyang was sealed off by another police roadblock and dozens of cars trying to leave Hubei province were also forced to turn back. However, in the early hours of Saturday morning, the route into Changsha, another 200 kilometres (125 miles) south, remained unblocked. Residents said they expected tougher measures soon, as cities, transportation operators and businesses across China extended closures aimed at curbing the spread of the virus. "I saw in the newspaper that someone was caught earlier today trying to leave Hubei and get to Hunan using the Didi application and they should be arrested," said Wang. "These measures are difficult, but they are necessary," said Wang. Hotel staff in Changsha also told Reuters they had received instructions not to allow anyone from Hubei province to book rooms. Peng Aihua, a 71-year old Buddhist nun walking outside Changsha train station, remained phlegmatic, even though the disease has spread panic through the country. "Why would death scare me?" she said. "I haven't reached my time to die yet." (Reporting by David Stanway and Martin Pollard in Changsha; Writing by Tony Munroe; Editing by Sandra Maler)

China's rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic has been driven by energy intensive industries such as construction, [http://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=heaping%20pressure heaping pressure] on the power grid and coal supplies Tens of millions across China are facing power shortages in below-freezing winter temperatures, as three provinces impose curbs on electricity use due to surging demand and a squeezed coal supply. Residents, factories and businesses in Hunan, Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces have been ordered to ration electricity with some areas citing a shortfall in coal supplies, according to local media reports and government notices. China's rebound from the Covid-19 pandemic has been driven by energy intensive industries such as construction, heaping pressure on the power grid and coal supplies, said Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air. Earlier this month, Hunan authorities ordered all billboards and outdoor [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour du lịch phượng hoàng cổ trấn] lighting on buildings to power off for long periods each day and a temperature cap on indoor heating at entertainment venues. Hunan faces a shortfall of 3-4 million kilowatts of electricity this winter, local officials admitted last week, as demand soars due to unusually cold weather that will hit as low as -10 degrees Celsius. Office workers in provincial capital Changsha complained on [http://www.ajaxtime.com/?s=social%20media social media] about being forced to climb dozens of flights of stairs and freezing indoor temperatures as a result of frequent power outages. "My office heating has already been stopped, and there were blackouts on December 1, 3 and 5. Temperatures will drop to minus 8 degrees around New Year's Day, will I freeze to death in Hunan?" one Weibo user wrote last week. Meanwhile in Zhejiang province, factories in the manufacturing hub of Yiwu have been told to stop operations and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] streetlights have been turned off at night as part of an emissions-saving drive by the local government, according to media reports and photos circulated on Weibo. - Supply 'largely stable' - China's top economic planner, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), on Monday sought to reassure the public by saying the electricity supply is "largely stable", and pledged to increase generation capacity and coal procurement. The power crisis points to the challenges fast-growing China faces in balancing the needs of its vast population with strict carbon emissions targets promised by its leadership. China -- by far the world's biggest consumer of coal -- is pivoting to renewable energy sources to meet a pledge to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2060. Speculation has swirled online that the power shortages may be self-inflicted wound as a result of China's embargo of Australian coal, which has left ships stranded at ports, unable to offload large quantities of coal. However, Australian coal only made up about three per cent of last year's total coal imports of 265 million tonnes, according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics. "The Aussie ban only had little impact on China's thermal coal supply," said Yan Qin, carbon analyst at financial data service Refinitiv. "But China-Australia tensions have caused significant worries in the commodities markets, driving up domestic coal prices."
