New at the Energy show: Electric Transportation Systems
Integrated infrastructure solutions for electric mobility16 Oct 2017
Growing urbanization and the associated increases in emission concentrations are major challenges that call for sustainable vehicle systems and tailored mobility solutions. The Energy show at HANNOVER MESSE is putting these trends and challenges front and center with a new display area called "Electric Transportation Systems" . The new showcase provides a holistic perspective on cutting-edge electric mobility and transport systems. It encompasses personal mobility, public passenger and freight transport, last-mile delivery, and the fundamental design and make-up of transportation solutions. Its primary focus is not so much on vehicles as on the necessary supporting infrastructure, which itself needs to be integrated into tomorrow's transformed, sustainable energy systems.
"The market for electric mobility solutions is growing worldwide and promises numerous other exciting applications alongside personal mobility. Realizing these applications will require massive investment in energy infrastructure over the next few years. The aim is for the transportation sector to become fully integrated into the energy system – and the ideas and solutions to make it all happen will be presented in the Electric Transportation Systems display area at HANNOVER MESSE's Energy show," said Benjamin Low, Global Director Energy at Deutsche Messe AG.
A sustainable, integrated transportation and energy system will require vast amounts of climate-neutral energy. That means more investment in renewable energy infrastructure, and that, in turn, requires the right government policy settings. In this sense, the Energy show is also a key platform for policy and political dialogue. "As part of the wider HANNOVER MESSE ecosystem, the Energy show offers its exhibitors a quality international platform for policy discussion on new technologies and solutions for tomorrow's mobility," Low said. The Energy show certainly has significant reach. In 2017, for example, it was attended by more than 92,000 trade visitors, 34 percent of whom came from outside Germany. 28,000 of these visitors were from the manufacturing industry, 27,000 from the energy sector, 9,000 from the services sector, 6,500 from commerce and trade, and 4,500 from the construction industry.
The Electric Transportation Systems display is taking the place of the MobiliTec show.

One For The Dancer
There was someone conspicuously missing from last year's "Greatest Canadian" show. Not only was Northern Dancer one of the greatest Canadian-breds to hit the racetrack, he has influenced Thoroughbred breeding like no other. He was the little guy that put Canadian-breds on the map.
This Sunday, July 23 2006, Woodbine is having a Northern Dancer Day as part of the year's ongoing celebration of the track's 50th anniversary. Featured on the card is a $700,000 1 1/2 mile turf race named after the little bay champion. Today is entry day, so look out to see who is coming out to compete for that attractive purse!
In honour of The Dancer, one of my all-time favourites, I did an oil painting on linen board. I was fortunate enough to visit ND in Maryland in 1989, the year before his death, so I had photos. And while he was still very much Mr. Attitude even at this advanced age, I decided for the painting I needed to portray him as a younger horse. That was an interesting challenge. I started with a small pencil sketch from my photos, and that actually became the basis of the larger image on the painting. I guess he's one of those horses I felt almost as if I knew, as if he had lived in my own barn though I met him just briefly. For the racing segment of the painting, I viewed some video of a few of his races, had in my mind what point in his stride I wanted to capture, and from there just used some supporting references to get the anatomy. He was so distinctive, with that crooked blaze and his "I'm good and I know it" look in those eyes, once I was painting it all seemed to come easily (despite the weeks previous to starting it when I stressed over whether I would be able to do him justice!).
If everything comes together, a print or poster of the painting will be on display at the LongRun booth at Woodbine on Sunday. The original is to be auctioned off at LongRun's "Golden Tribute" gala this fall, to raise much-needed funds for the organization.

The notion of animals gathering together provokes fanciful labels: We have a "gaggle" of geese, a "pride" of lions and an "exaltation" of larks. Unfortunately, the same can't be said of musicians. As a remedy, I propose "a Kirshbaum of cellists." After all, virtuoso Ralph Kirshbaum has been responsible over the years for large migrations of his fellow cellists: first to Britain, where from 1988 to 2007 he directed the Royal Northern College of Music International Cello Festival in Manchester; and now to Los Angeles, where he holds the Gregor Piatigorsky Endowed Chair in Violoncello at the University of Southern California.
It is thanks to Mr. Kirshbaum's tireless spirit that the first Piatigorsky International Cello Festival—dedicated to the legendary cellist who was also a faculty member at USC—is up and running here through Sunday. The endeavor involves four Los Angeles-based cultural institutions, as well as 22 artists and 45 students from around the world who have converged to participate in recitals, orchestral concerts and master classes. Judging from the first two days, last Friday and Saturday, they have created a bit of cello heaven.
No instrument more easily touches the heart—perhaps because, as the Swiss cellist and composer Thomas Demenga reminded us during a conversation here on Saturday, it has the same range as the human voice. (The tangible warmth, reports Mr. Demenga, also extends to relationships between the performers themselves: Cellists naturally gravitate to each other in ways that many other instrumentalists do not.) But as the opening festival performances demonstrated, the cello's sensuous allure is only part of the story; the instrument is also capable of stunning versatility.
The first night, audiences were treated to the propulsive energy of Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Cellos in G minor, with gorgeous chamber-ensemble work under the direction of conductor Hugh Wolff; the classical elegance of two Haydn concertos; the soaring melodies of Saint-Saëns's First Cello Concerto; and the wonderful range of effects found in Mr. Demenga's double concerto, "Relations."
Piatigorsky International Cello Festival
Through March 18
Mr. Demenga's eclectic and original approach included jazzy syncopations executed over the finger snaps of a percussionist, Middle-Eastern scales, and unusual techniques such as singing and playing at the same time, shouting rhythmic syllables that were taken from the soloist's names, and producing a host of untraditional sonorities. His excellent performing partner was his student Sayaka Selina. Over the course of the initial concerts, audiences could imagine the cello as a giant plucked Spanish guitar, a Romantic crooner or a Balinese gamelan orchestra.
The extraordinarily supportive chamber ensemble comprised principal players from the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, along with student instrumentalists—a mix in keeping with Mr. Kirshbaum's vision. His festival partners include USC's Thornton School of Music; the Colburn School; the Los Angeles Philharmonic; and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. Together they enabled him to program large works and intimate ones, create mentoring situations and expose listeners to some artists who have not performed in this country for 15 or 20 years.
"Most American orchestras feature just one or two cellists a season," he says. "We show the great richness among cellists, the different approaches to the instrument. And we prove that the point of view that there isn't enough repertoire is rubbish."
The genesis of the project goes back to 1986, with the death of French cellist Pierre Fournier. Mr. Kirshbaum organized a festival in his honor, to raise money for the Pierre Fournier Award, which furthers the careers of exceptional young cellists. Thus the RNC Manchester Festival was born. "People were so exhilarated," he reports, "that there came an avalanche of requests for another one." It kept growing until 2007, when Mr. Kirschbaum accepted an offer to join USC. Soon after, he suggested the creation of a new festival to his dean, Robert Cutietta, and to the school's president, Max Nikias.
"I loved the idea," says Mr. Nikias. "I see the arts as the 'secret weapon' of USC as a research university. Our valedictorian a few years ago came to us because she wanted to have a double major in computer science and biology with a minor in theater. And 25% to 30% of students at the Thornton School of Music have a minor in another discipline. We launched an arts and humanities initiative on campus that gives every student the opportunity to develop an appreciation of the arts. It's important because the arts are carriers of messages that tell us who we are. Of course," he reveals, "once I said yes, it was Ralph and Rob Cutietta who did all the work."
A very tired Mr. Cutietta concedes that, "in the beginning, none of us thought it would be this big. But Ralph suggested that we find partners, and I firmly believe that arts organizations live in a tiny niche and need to work together. You'd think it would be hard to get so many people to agree, and to clear their calendars for an idea, but it wasn't. Nevertheless, putting it all together required more than we ever anticipated."
For Mr. Kirshbaum, the exhausting effort required is worth it. "In the end, it's such fun," he exclaims. "I love being around friends and colleagues. We genuinely like and respect each other, and that's precious—it's a lesson for the students. And bringing all of the constituents together has been a joy. Deborah Borda at the Philharmonic came up with the idea of placing some of our artists on her subscription series in Disney Hall. Everyone involved has been incredibly open—we all agree that the arts shouldn't be held prisoner in this pocket or that pocket. The world is so rich—nobody has it all."
Mr. Isacoff's latest book is "A Natural History of the Piano: The Instrument, the Music, the Musicians—From Mozart to Modern Jazz and Everything in Between" (Knopf).

This dissertation is a case study of an adult probation department in a southern state. Adult probation is an important part of the criminal justice system, as it provides a reduced program cost compared with incarceration. Current literature proposes that adult probation is in crisis due to poor to sub-standard performance by probationers, a collapse in supervision, and decline in probation funding. This dissertation attempts to answer the question of possible causes for problems in the adult probation system. To accomplish this, this work focuses on how probation officers and clients are affected by contradictions occurring between the theory and practice of the probation system.
This research makes a unique contribution to corrections literature, as it focuses on the lives of individual actors in the system (probation officers and probationers). Probation officer and probationer interviews and secondary data (probation orders) are analyzed to determine the extent to which the adult probation system is individualized. That is, this research attempts to answer the question of whether or not adult probation is designed to meet the individual needs of probationers. Race, gender, and class differences are highlighted. The contradictions identified between the theory and practice of adult probationproduce frustration, disappointment, and anger for probation officers, as their probation roles conflict with being client advocates. Probationers also characterize the contradictions between the theory and practice of probation as problematic. Probationers experience frustration with the current probationsystem, as it fails to adequately take into account their everyday lives, which increased, not decreased the hurdles needed to complete probation. Findings from the analysis of criminal court files paint a picture of a probation order containing little variation. That is, the conditions found on the probation orders viewed contained little variation even though the individuals for whom they were designed were varied.
A discussion of the findings presented, the implications of these findings for probation officers and probationers, the limitations of this research and suggestions for the direction of future research regarding adult probation are presented.

For the OCD people who hated the fact that ‘Dark Serpent’ was printed in a larger format: a box of author copies of the Australia/NZ version of the book just arrived on my doorstep – in the smaller format, the same size as the rest of the series. The books don’t have the fancy glossy highlights on the front, but apart from that they’re identical in every way – and exactly the same size as the first six books of the series.
I’ll put it up when I know a release date – but as the author copies are done, it should be in book stores very soon. Apologies to everybody I told that it wasn’t happening. Apparently, it is.

It’s a good week in the world of financial aid! Earlier this week President Barack Obama announced that some significant changes are being made to the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) in hopes of making it an easier process.
Even before taking out student loans, you should come up with a plan for repayment. Figure out how much you are borrowing, how much you will be earning, and what your best option is. This is where budgeting comes in handy.
With the class of 2015 graduating with an average of $35,000 of student loan debt per student, it’s arguably more important than ever that students know what they are getting into, and that those with student loans know the who, when, how, and how often when it comes to paying their loan providers. This all begins with a good, solid starter foundation.
You may feel a new sense of liberation having just graduated. To you, the post-grad life means no more homework, no more tests, no more surprise presentations, or six page papers at three in the morning. No more responsibilities right?…Wrong. If anything, you have just acquired one of the biggest responsibilities known to post graduates, paying off student loans. Make sure you are planning ahead and saving yourself money so that your loan repayment process can be a smooth transition and doesn’t completely stress you out.
There’s been big news in the student loan-isphere this week, ladies and gents. According to Forbes.com, there are a lot of changes happening with student loan lenders. The number of lenders has been skyrocketing due to the introduction of student loan refinancing a few years back, and the increase in lenders has lead to an increase in options. Borrowers now have more options when it comes to repayment, eligibility for loans, forbearance, and deferment than ever before.

Who says that a 7.5" barrel isn't accurate?? I was plinking a 12x12 steel plate at 300 yards with only a red dot optic and cheap big box store Federal .223 ammo. I can't be more thrilled! This is a great prouduct and absolutely worth every penny.
Awesome barrel Review by NaKwai
Overall 5 STAR
This barrel is unusually surprising simply because of the price tag compared to the quality. I have some very high end barrels and decided to give BA a try. I’m shooting .5 inch groups at 50 yards effortlessly. I pairs it with a BA gas block and gas tube and I couldn’t be more pleased. A friend and I did our builds at the same time and he chose a barrel from Spikes Tactical that was twice the price. In our 3 range trips, he has yet to shoot better groups with his gun. We even switched, an he shot better groups with with my rifle. BA did an amazing job. I will be purchasing another barrel from them and am coming moletely cinfident with that decision!

World Brain Tumour Day: Morning headaches can be worrying, especially if they make you nauseous
Recurring headaches can be a result of an underlying condition like a brain tumour, a growth of cells in the area around the brain. Headaches that are worse in the morning or wake you up from sleep can be particularly concerning.
- Headaches may seen normal, but persistant ones can be alarming
- Early morning headaches are early signs of brain tumours
- If these headaches wake you up at night and painkillers don't bring comfort, visit a neuro expert
- Brain tumours can cause changes in vision and unexpected changes in mood, behaviour or personality
- Brain tumours can affect people of all age groups
From a throbbing ache to a sharp pain or dull sensation, we have experienced it all. But, it may be time to start taking this symptom more seriously. Recurring headaches can be a result of an underlying condition like a brain tumour, a growth of cells in the area around the brain.
Dr Vishal Bhasme, a Consultant Neurosurgeon at Ruby Hall Clinic in Pune, says that persistent or worsening headaches are one of the most common early signs of brain tumours. "Headaches that are worse in the morning or wake you up from sleep can be particularly concerning," he says.
Many people tend to ignore the "modest symptoms" as unimportant or dismiss them as unconnected to a brain tumour, says Dr Shiva Kumar R, Senior Consultant-Neurology and Epileptology at Sakra World Hospital.
"Keeping a check on the frequency, intensity or pattern of headaches is important. Feeling tired or fatigued can be attributed to many factors, such as lack of sleep, stress or lifestyle choices. It's important to listen to our body and pay attention to any changes, even if they seem mild," he says.
People should get themselves checked if headaches persist or intensify over time. It is even more concerning if they are accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, changes in vision and unexpected changes in mood, behaviour or personality.
Dr Krishna Chaitanya, Senior Consultant-Neurosurgery at Kauvery Hospital, Electronic City, Bangalore, says that brain tumours can be cured if diagnosed early. "The guarantee of a cure depends on the early identification of the disease. Any symptoms which keep recurring and progressing shouldn’t be ignored and should be shown to a neuro specialist," he says.
However, the symptoms of a brain tumour can vary depending on its size, location and rate of growth.
Explaining brain tumours in detail, Dr Shylesh MP, Consultant Neurosurgeon at Fortis Hospital, Richmond Road, Bangalore, says that they are of different types — from benign (slow-growing and non-invasive form) to malignant (the fast-growing kind that invades the surrounding areas).
"Some brain tumours primarily develop within the brain or at its coverings or other structures within the skull, while others spread from cancer elsewhere in the body, which is referred to as a metastatic brain tumour," he says.
Brain tumours can affect people of all age groups, from infants to the elderly. It is one of the leading causes of cancer death in individuals between 20 and 39 years.
Early Signs To Watch Out ForThe brain, the control centre of the body, is responsible for consciousness, movements, emotions, sensations, thoughts, speech, intelligence, behaviour and memory.
Every part of the brain has an assigned function. When a tumour grows, it starts to irritate the cells in that area, which can lead to certain symptoms one should watch out for.
Any unexplained neurological changes or anomalies can be a warning sign. Look out for behavioural and cognitive changes like personality changes, memory problems, difficulty in concentrating and changes in speech patterns. Brain tumours can also cause changes in vision or hearing, blurred or double vision and peripheral vision loss. These changes can be gradual or sudden, depending on the tumour's location and rate of growth.
Young children with brain tumours may exhibit delays in developmental milestones or changes in behaviour.
Pressure effects of a growing tumour can limit day-to-day function, making the limbs weak, and resulting in the inability to talk, compromised vision and hearing capabilities, persistent fatigue or drowsiness and difficulty in sleeping, among other things. The growth of the tumour will result in frequent seizures. The faster the tumour grows, the severe the symptoms get with headaches.
"If someone experiences unexplained seizures, especially if they occur for the first time in adulthood, it may be a sign of a brain tumour," says Dr Bhasme.
Tumours in specific parts of the brain can also alter hormone production, resulting in hormonal imbalances.
Meanwhile, Dr Shylesh also warns about early morning headaches —associated with nausea, vomiting or blurring of vision — that don't respond to regular painkillers as these may be one of the initial tell-tale signs of a brain tumour.
However, some tumours may be asymptomatic until they grow larger or affect specific regions responsible for certain functions. Make sure you notice any minor fluctuations in appetite or weight, or memory loss that may occur, says Dr Kumar. Therefore, seeking medical attention for any persistent or concerning symptoms is crucial.
Take Control Of Your Control CentreA balanced diet is vital for overall brain health and may help reduce the risk of some neurological diseases.
Brain-healthy diet consisting of fatty fish, berries, turmeric, spinach, broccoli, pumpkin seeds, green tea, dark chocolate and nuts. These can improve cognitive performance, say experts.
Following a balanced lifestyle that includes regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and stress management is also necessary for brain health. A consultation with a healthcare practitioner or a licensed dietitian can provide individualised nutrition and brain health advice based on your needs.

Meet Lister’s £1 million Stirling Moss special edition Knobbly
Built to a 1958 spec, only ten will be made. So you’d better get in quick
A couple of years ago British sportscar maker Lister returned to the fold with a recreation of the Knobbly; a car designed to mark new ownership and to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the company’s first racing car.
The 2013 model had a top speed of 181mph and would do 0-60mph in a stonking 4.3 seconds. Today though, there’s a new version that will go even faster.
The car pictured above is the Lister Jaguar Knobbly Stirling Moss special edition. A lighter, sleeker replica of the racer that Moss drove at Silverstone in 1958, it will be the only magnesium-bodied car in the world when deliveries begin in the autumn.
Priced at £1 million, Lister say that they will only be building ten iterations of the historic machine, and by the end of the big unveiling at the Royal Automobile Club in London this morning, one buyer had already been found.
Underneath, the new Knobbly is very similar to its predecessor: a straight-six, 3.8-litre Jaguar D Type engine provides 337bhp, which is enough to propel the car from 0-60mph in under four seconds, with 295lb ft of torque available at 4,250rpm.
Working your way up the four-speed gearbox, you’ll hit 100mph from a standing start in a shade under 10 seconds, en route to a top speed of 184mph. Not bad for a car designed nearly 60 years ago.
“The launch of these Stirling Moss editions represents a truly unique opportunity,” says Lister CEO Lawrence Whittaker. “None of the original ‘works’ Lister Knobblys survived from the 1950s, so the fortunate few who get to own a Stirling Moss edition will be getting a period-correct continuation ‘works’ Lister made using the same techniques as the original.”
It’s the weight reduction that makes the 2016 car so special. According to Whittaker, the late company founder Brian Lister was “obsessed with saving weight”, knowing that such gains would improve the speed and handling of his vehicles.
But while cars sold to third parties were constructed using heavier steel and aluminium components, what he didn’t mention was that the works racers utilised a much lighter, 16-gauge steel chassis and a magnesium body.
And such was the secrecy behind these details, Sir Stirling Moss himself only found out about them recently.
“These magnesium-bodied continuations redefine the word ‘special’: they are hugely collectible and they will be very fast indeed,” said the 86-year-old. “They will be winners on the track – just as they were in their day.”
Tipping the scales at just 841kg, we’re inclined to believe him.
There are downsides to using magnesium though. Not only is it incredibly difficult to source nowadays, it is also perilously tricky to shape: a single body takes 18 weeks to build, and a sole mistake at any point in the process will render a panel useless.
No wonder they’re only making ten.
As if the limited numbers didn’t make it exclusive enough, the new Knobbly has the added rarity of being only the second car Sir Stirling Moss has ever given his name to.
The other, of course, was Mercedes’ roofless edition of the SLR.
Asked why he’d placed the Knobbly in that company, Moss replied: “Because it was a really good, interesting car to drive. It genuinely was a very nice car.
“It had quite a lot of horsepower. It was terrific. It was a winning car. I would say that if you were in a race in its era, you certainly had as good a chance as anybody of winning. It was very good.”
So good in fact, that Moss will personally hand over the keys to each new owner when they come to collect their cars; a ceremony which will be followed by dinner with the legendary driver and the chance to hear his stories face to face.
However, Moss warned potential customers against delaying their purchase. Jovially referring to his age, he said at the launch: “We don’t know how long we’ve got!”
Knobbly buyers will get to choose between either a road legal or a racing spec vehicle, the latter of which comes with an FIA HTP passport that allows entry into the Sir Stirling Moss Trophy series and other historic events.
The green and yellow paint seen above comes as standard, as does a bespoke interior fine-tuned to individual tastes.
£1 million for all that? What a bargain.


BlueScope to expand South Coast production to meet renewable energy component demand
A new $20M BlueScope Renewable Manufacturing Zone (BRMZ) at Port Kembla in the Illawarra will be the foundation of a new sustainable manufacturing base for NSW
According to BlueScope, the BRMZ will underpin the NSW Government’s recently announced NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap a 20 year plan for the local manufacture of dispatchable/firmed renewable energy and electricity transmission infrastructure to replace coal-fired energy. The BRMZ also aligns with the Federal Government’s recently announced Manufacturing Strategy with its focus on building Australia’s sovereign capability.
BlueScope’s Managing Director & CEO, Mark Vassella said: “Half of the $20M incentive program will be on offer to companies who want to build manufacturing capability in NSW, especially in the fast-growing renewable energy sector. The other half would be invested by BlueScope directly at the Steelworks, to tool up our facilities in preparation for this exciting growth opportunity.
“BlueScope welcome the potential of the NSW Government’s proposed new local content procurement policy to spur new innovation, attract investment and create new jobs."
Whilst investing directly in their own plant, Bluescope will also partner with innovators and entrepreneurs to develop new technology solutions in key industries like renewables, infrastructure, defence, manufacturing and sustainable buildings.
“BlueScope will incentivise companies who have a vision for smart, clean, green industrial solutions. We want to encourage a new supply chain that creates regional jobs and vital economic development across the Illawarra."
“There are a range of incentives BlueScope would be willing to consider including; co-investment in start-ups, joint R&D pilot programs, office rental accommodation, leases for manufacturing sites, warehousing and logistics facilities, and access to professional technical expertise from within BlueScope and, we expect, external organisations such as the University of Wollongong and other Universities across NSW."
“An immediate focus will be supporting the manufacture of wind tower, solar farm, pumped hydro, electricity transmission facilities. There is large and growing demand for all these equipment types which, in NSW, are currently imported as pre-fabricated finished goods.

Children’s Values Clubs
We teach the children of the Filipino poor, ages 3 to 12, so that when they grow up they will not depart from the values of Christ they learned from us. We believe that when these children come of age, they are the ones who will turn things around in this country and stop corruption in government and lawlessness in our villages. We provide the children with free study guide materials.
Teens’ Values Clubs
We teach the teen-agers how to cope with the peer pressures and fight the world system by learning the values of Christ. Through this method, we believe that they will learn to be God-fearing and be responsible citizens. They will be able to help stop lawlessness in our villages by influencing their peers. We provide the teens with free study guide materials.
Children and Teens values clubs are carried out once a week, usually on a Saturday. There are different possible venues where teaching can be valium held: village basketball courts, open spaces, under the shade of a tree, etc.
We teach, train and equip volunteer teachers who will then carry out the program by gathering the children and teens in their neighborhood. We provide Teacher’s guides for qualified volunteer teachers.

What happens when you get infected by the virus, and what are your chances if you do? A new report describing what happened to 138 patients treated in a hospital on the frontlines in Wuhan, China, has some answers—and some alarming news about how the virus can spread inside a hospital.
Here’s what we know so far on what COVID-19 does to the human body in cases of infections and deaths.
The Wuhan doctors, led by Zhiyong Peng at the critical care department at Zhognan Hospital of Wuhan University, say about 40% of the people they treated actually caught the infection at their hospital, including 40 health-care professionals and 17 patients who were already there for surgeries or other reasons.
They said 4.3% of the patients died and about 34% got better and left the hospital, while the rest were still being treated. Outside of China, the death rate appears to be much lower, but in Wuhan doctors are clearly struggling. The city has been under a lockdown quarantine since last month.
Early symptoms: The most common symptom of the coronavirus is a fever, which nearly everyone gets, followed by fatigue and dry cough. A few people also experienced diarrhea or nausea a day or two before any other symptoms.
Getting to the hospital: It took about seven days from first symptoms for people to check into the hospital, by which time many were having trouble breathing, say the Wuhan doctors. It wasn’t clear if their patients waited to seek help or were among those initially turned away in overcrowded conditions.
Confirming infection: The test for the virus is a throat swab, which is analyzed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify its telltale genetic material.
Chest scans: Some patients put through a CAT scanner showed spots of shadows in their lungs, what doctors call a “ground glass” appearance.
Getting to the ICU: The Chinese team said a quarter of their patients ended up in the intensive care unit, mostly because of acute respiratory distress syndrome, or “ARDS.” That’s when the lungs fill with fluid and lose the ability to carry oxygen. That can affect other organs, like the kidneys, and cause death. The chance of ending up in the ICU was higher for people who were already weak.
It affects older people more often: While older people tended to have more serious diseases, this hospital saw patients as young as 22 and as old as 92. The median age was 56.
The treatments: The report from China shows that doctors did not have a silver bullet to cure the infection. In Wuhan, most people got an antiviral drug called oseltamivir, which they say didn’t have a discernible effect. Several other drugs, including anti-HIV drugs, have also been tried elsewhere. Patients in the most trouble sometimes got oxygen therapy or were hooked up to a machine that pumps their blood and adds oxygen, saving their heart and lungs from doing the work
A timeline of how the disease progresses
According to JAMA, on average, people became short of breath within five days of the onset of their symptoms. Severe breathing trouble was observed in about eight days.
The study did not give a timeline for when the deaths occurred.
However, an earlier study published in the Journal of Medical Virology on January 29 said that, on average, people who died did so within 14 days of the onset of the disease.
The New England Journal of Medicine, in a study published on January 31, also offered a look at how the coronavirus infection affects the body over time.
The study examined the medical data of a 35-year-old man, the first case of infection in the United States. The first symptom was a dry cough, followed by a fever.
On the third day of illness, he reported nausea and vomiting followed by diarrhoea and abdominal discomfort on the sixth day. By the ninth day, he had developed pneumonia and reported difficulty breathing.
By the twelfth day, his condition had improved and his fever was subsiding. He developed a runny nose, however. On day 14, he was asymptomatic except for a mild cough.
According to local media reports, he sought care on January 19 and was discharged from the hospital in the first week of February.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO chief, told reporters on February 24 that statistics from China suggest recovery time for people with mild disease is about two weeks. People with severe or critical disease may take between three and six weeks to recover.
On February 28, Ghebreyesus said nations should prepare themselves for a potential pandemic, as countries aside from China now accout for three-quarters of new infections.
On March 4, Ghebreyesus warned that a global shortage and price gouging for protective equipment was compromising countries’ abilities to respond to the epidemic, and called on companies and governments to increase production by 40 percent.
On March 11, the WHO chief characterised COVID-19 as a pandemic and expressed concern over the “alarming levels of spread and severity, and by the alarming levels of inaction”.

by TENNIEL, JOHN [Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]
Tenniel drew the sketch in 1880 after his drawing for the first edition (1865) of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." He would occasionally craft drawings from "Alice" to give as gifts, and in this case the drawing was given to Fred Evans, editor of Punch Magazine. Both drawing and letter were part of the estate of Mrs. Evans. Tenniel writes, "My dear Evans, This is to thank you very much indeed for the cheques and to say that if my frequent applications have been in any way troublesome and annoying to you, how much I regret it - and to assure you that they have been no less so as to myself. I quite agree with you that the present mode of settlement is more agreeable to me, sincerely so. We don't have this till... so you shall have the zinc drawing tomorrow afternoon. I am quite curious to see the result of the experiment...." Signed, "John Tenniel." The experiment was the use of a zinc plate for engraving rather than the conventional steel plate. The sketch measures 6.75 x 5 inches and the letter 4.75 /x 7.1 inches. Both float on a dark gray mat overlaid with a white mat, framed together in black satin finished wood, matted and framed in museum quality materials, in 5/8/inch black satin wood measuring together in a 16 ¾ x 13 ¾. The frame is open at the back to show the first side of the letter.
