El Huracán de Cuba de 1932, también conocido como el Huracán de Santa Cruz del Sur o Huracán de Camagüey de 1932, fue el más peligroso y uno de los más intensos ciclones tropicales en la historia de Cuba. Fue hasta el 2020 el único huracán de categoría 5 registrado en el Atlántico en el mes de noviembre. El ciclón cruzó el mar Caribe, algo atípico para la mayoría de los huracanes en vías de desarrollo a finales de la temporada de huracanes del Atlántico. La tormenta con fuertes vientos, la oleada de la tormenta y lluvia devastó una amplia parte del centro y oriente de Cuba, donde la tormenta fue considerada el peor desastre natural del siglo XX. A pesar de que los efectos del huracán se concentraron principalmente en Cuba, hubo secuelas significativas en las Islas Caimán y las Bahamas, y con efectos menores se sintió en otros lugares.

La depresión tropical que más tarde se convertiría en un huracán destructivo se localizó primero al este de las Antillas Menores el 30 de octubre, y se rastreó hacia el oeste hasta el Mar Caribe, alcanzando la fuerza de la tormenta tropical al día siguiente. Moviéndose hacia el sudoeste hacia la porción sur del Caribe, la tormenta alcanzó fuerza de huracán el 2 de noviembre antes de que se produjera un período de rápida intensificación. El 6 de noviembre, el ciclón tropical alcanzó su intensidad máxima como huracán de categoría 5 con vientos máximos sostenidos de 175 mph (280 km / h). La tormenta se debilitó a la intensidad de categoría 4 mientras giraba hacia el noreste, moviéndose a tierra en la provincia de Camagüey de Cuba el 9 de noviembre con vientos de 150 mph (240 km / h). Después de atravesar la isla, la tormenta se debilitó gradualmente a medida que cruzaba las islas centrales de Bahamas y cerca de las Bermudas. El 13 de noviembre, el sistema pasó a ser un ciclón extratropical y se disipó al día siguiente.

Como el huracán se intensificó al sur del mar Caribe, la tormenta se movió cerca de las Antillas Neerlandesas y Colombia, causando efectos generalizados. Un paso prolongado de Curazao resultó en el daño de la fortificación del puerto. La tormenta azotó la costa de Colombia con fuertes vientos y lluvias torrenciales, obstaculizando gravemente la cosecha de banano en la región y alterando las telecomunicaciones. Varias ciudades, particularmente las cercanas a la costa, sufrieron daños infraestructurales significativos. También se informó de daños marcados, aunque localizados, en los cultivos de banano en Jamaica, donde los fuertes vientos derribaron numerosos árboles. En aguas abiertas, la pista de la tormenta atravesó numerosas rutas marítimas, interrumpiendo en gran medida los envíos principalmente en el Caribe central y dañando varios barcos.

Historia meteorológica
El huracán de 1932 en Cuba se remonta a una depresión tropical, identificada por primera vez a las 06:00 UTC del 30 de octubre por observaciones de barcos a unos  al este de Guadalupe. Siguiendo en general hacia el oeste, la depresión cruzó las Antillas Menores al día siguiente entre Dominica y Martinica. Las presiones barométricas disminuyeron hasta 1008 mbar (hPa; 29.77 inHg) en Santa Lucía y confirmaron la presencia de un ciclón tropical en desarrollo. Poco después de atravesar las islas, la perturbación se intensificó a intensidad de tormenta tropical a las 18:00 UTC del 31 de octubre. Al mismo tiempo que la tormenta se intensificaba gradualmente, el ciclón tropical comenzó a tomar un curso inusual hacia el suroeste. El 2 de noviembre, la tormenta se intensificó a categoría de huracán mientras se encontraba al norte de las Antillas Neerlandesas.

Fortaleciéndose constantemente, el huracán alcanzó el estatus de categoría 2 el 3 de noviembre. Durante el día, la tormenta pasó aproximadamente a  al norte de Punta Gallinas en Colombia, la extensión más septentrional de América del Sur. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, el huracán se curvó hacia el oeste, lo que provocó que la tormenta se alejara de Colombia y Venezuela. Durante los días siguientes, el huracán se intensificó rápidamente y alcanzó un estado de gran huracán el 4 de noviembre. Al día siguiente, se calculó que la intensidad del huracán era equivalente a la de un huracán de categoría 5 mientras se curvaba hacia el norte. Aunque la tormenta fue calificada como un huracán de categoría 4, el reanálisis del huracán indicó que el ciclón tropical era mucho más intenso de lo inicialmente previsto, con base en observaciones del S.S. Phemius, cuya tripulación estimó vientos de alrededor de  en el pico de la tormenta y presiones inusualmente bajas. El 6 de noviembre, el huracán alcanzó su punto máximo con vientos sostenidos máximos estimados en . Durante ese tiempo, S.S. Phemius registró una presión barométrica mínima de 915 mbar (hPa; 27.02 inHg); esta medición fue la más baja documentada durante toda la existencia de la tormenta. Como este informe no ocurrió dentro del ojo del huracán, la verdadera presión mínima de la tormenta pudo haber sido mucho menor.

Avanzando hacia el norte, el huracán se debilitó gradualmente después de la intensidad máxima el 6 de noviembre, pero mantuvo su fuerza de categoría 5 durante 72 horas consecutivas antes de caer finalmente al estado de categoría 4. Debido a una curva gradual hacia el noreste, el huracán pasó cerca de Caimán Brac el 9 de noviembre; se documentó una presión barométrica mínima de 939 mbar (hPa; 27,73 inHg) en la isla. Solo se produjo un leve debilitamiento antes de que el huracán tocara tierra en la costa caribeña de la provincia cubana de Camagüey a las 14:00 UTC de ese día. En el momento de tocar tierra, se estimó que el ciclón tropical tenía una presión mínima de 918 mbar (hPa, 27,11 inHg) y vientos máximos sostenidos de , con vientos que se extendían hasta 40 millas (65 km) del centro del huracán. La tormenta atravesó Cuba en seis horas antes de emerger en el océano Atlántico a última hora del 9 de noviembre, después de lo cual comenzó a cruzar el archipiélago central de las Bahamas. A las 07:00 UTC del 10 de noviembre, el huracán tocó tierra por segunda vez en la Isla Larga, Bahamas, con una intensidad equivalente a la de una categoría 3 moderna. Continuando con el seguimiento al noreste, la tormenta se movió hacia el este de Bermudas dos días después. El 13 de noviembre, el huracán comenzó a interactuar con un ciclón extratropical centrado en las provincias marítimas de Canadá, y más tarde se debilitó hasta una fuerza de tormenta tropical. Posteriormente, el ciclón tropical se convirtió en extratropical hacia las 18:00 UTC del 14 de noviembre.

Los preparativos y el impacto

Mar Caribe, Jamaica y norte de Sudamérica
A medida que el huracán avanzaba lentamente por el este y el sur del Caribe, los mares agitados y los fuertes vientos interrumpieron las rutas de navegación. El 6 de noviembre, la goleta estadounidense Abundance se encontró con la tormenta al este de Jamaica. De resultas, perdió el timón y quedó varada en Punta Morant (Jamaica). Sin embargo, los seis tripulantes del barco fueron auxiliados y sacados de la goleta y transportados a Estados Unidos. Varios otros barcos en el área inmediata también se vieron obstaculizados por la tormenta. También el barco de vapor Tacira y el carguero San Simeon se enfrentaron a la tormenta.

Se informó de algunos daños en el norte del continente Sudamericano cuando el huracán se extendió cerca de la costa. En Colombia, las telecomunicaciones ferroviarias se interrumpieron cerca de Santa Marta, y se creía que las plantaciones de plátanos en la zona habían sufrido en cierta medida debido a los vientos y la lluvia de la tormenta. En Santa Marta, varias casas se inundaron y el tráfico de automóviles se vio obstaculizado por los efectos de la tormenta. Los muelles en el puerto de Santa Marta también fueron dañados. Las fuertes lluvias también arrasaron algunos ferrocarriles y puentes, lo que afectó aún más la distribución de los envíos de banano. En otras partes de la costa, muchos de los puertos marítimos de Colombia fueron dañados por los efectos de la tormenta, mientras que las granjas del interior sufrieron daños por inundaciones extensas. Debido a la escasez de informes del resto de Colombia, la magnitud del daño en Barranquilla sigue sin especificar, aunque en otras ciudades cercanas se informó de daños "importantes". El pueblo de Sevilla, Valle del Cauca fue destruido casi por completo. La isla de Providencia, cercana a Colombia, sufrió daños agrícolas importantes y la pérdida de 36 viviendas. Al noreste, en Curazao, el paso del huracán destruyó las fortificaciones del puerto de la isla. Un malecón cerca de la entrada al puerto de Sint Anna sufrió un colapso parcial, mientras que un puente de pontones que une ambos lados del puerto fue completamente destruido. En la cercana Bonaire, un muelle sucumbió a la lluvia torrencial y los mares agitados.

Con el huracán amenazando a Jamaica, Pan American World Airways canceló sus vuelos a Kingston, Jamaica. En Jamaica, el paso de la tormenta hacia el oeste provocó intensos vientos tan fuertes como 71 mph (114 km / h) para barrer la isla, destruyendo más de 2 millones de árboles. Aunque los efectos en general fueron generalmente mínimos, algunas áreas localizadas en la isla experimentaron una pérdida del 50% de plátanos debido a la tormenta. El costo de los daños en Jamaica fue de US $ 4 millones.

Islas Caimán
La tormenta devastó las Islas Caimán, especialmente Caimán Brac que fue inundado por la marejada ciclónica, de fuerza . Muchas casas y edificios fueron arrastrados hacia el mar como resultado de la tormenta y muchas personas tuvieron que subir a los árboles para escapar de las inundaciones. Más de 100 personas murieron en las islas; uno de ellos fue en Gran Caimán y el resto fueron en Caimán Brac. El barco Balboa también se hundió a consecuencia de la tormenta. Aunque no se emitieron advertencias iniciales, el Observatorio Nacional de Cuba señaló su preocupación ante ciclones tropicales intensos, que podían presentar un peligro inminente para Cuba, en particular para la provincia de Camagüey. En noviembre, una advertencia de huracán se emitió para el sureste de Cuba. Como medida de precaución, ciertas rutas de transporte fueron suspendidas en la parte oriental de la isla.

La ciudad de Santa Cruz del Sur en Camagüey fue prácticamente destruida por un enorme marejada ciclónica, con olas de hasta  de altura. Pocos edificios quedaron en pie en la zona. Al menos 2.870 personas perdieron su vida en la localidad. En total, 3.033 personas murieron en Cuba y los daños se estimaron en 20 millones (1932 USD; $ millones de hoy).

Q: how to pivot when there are many columns I think I understand the concept of PIVOT, but I am having a lot of trouble converting this query into a PIVOT:

How do I output just 1 record for each ID?

A: Use aggregation:
select id,
       MAX(CASE WHEN [line] = 1 THEN code END) AS one_CODE,
       MAX(CASE WHEN [line] = 1 THEN name END) AS one_NAME,
       . . .
from t
group by id;

Notes:

*

*SQL Server uses double quotes to delimit identifiers, not strings.  Double quotes are not needed for this query.

*Something called line is probably a number, so the comparison value should be a number.

*This returns NULL instead of an empty string.

*I see no benefit to trying to use pivot for this query.

A: If you can tolerate the performance, look up CHOOSE function. I've implemented it below.
    SELECT ID,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line],code)) AS one_CODE,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line],name)) AS one_name,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line],address_line_1)) AS one_address_[line]_1 ,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line],address_line_2)) AS one_address_[line]_2,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line],address_city)) AS one_address_city ,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line],address_state)) AS one_address_state,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line],address_zip)) AS one_address_zip ,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-1,code)) AS two_CODE,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-1,name)) AS two_name,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-1,address_line_1)) AS two_address_[line]_1 ,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-1,address_line_2)) AS two_address_[line]_2,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-1,address_city)) AS two_address_city,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-1,address_state)) AS two_address_state,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-1,address_zip)) AS two_address_zip,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-2,code)) AS three_CODE,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-2,name)) AS three_name,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-2,address_line_1)) AS three_address_[line]_1 ,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-2,address_line_2)) AS three_address_[line]_2,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-2,address_city)) AS three_address_city,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-2,address_state)) AS three_address_state,
    MAX(CHOOSE([line]-2,address_zip)) AS three_address_zip
    FROM MYTABLE
    GROUP BY ID;

A: How about a nice self join, before I dive into the answer I'll just state my assumption up front, you have 7 columns in the table, plus the key ID that relates the rows. if that's the case all you have to do is
select a.ID
  , a.CODE as one_code
  , a.name as One_name
  , a.address_line_1 as one_address_line_1
  , a.ADDRESS_LINE_2 as one_ADDRESS_LINE_2
  , a.City as One_city
  , a.state as One_state
  , a.zip as one_zip
  , a.CODE as one_code
  , b.name as two_name
  , b.address_line_1 as two_address_line_1
  , b.ADDRESS_LINE_2 as two_ADDRESS_LINE_2
  , b.City as two_city
  , b.state as two_state
  , b.zip as two_zip
  , c.name as three_name
  , c.address_line_1 as three_address_line_1
  , c.ADDRESS_LINE_2 as three_ADDRESS_LINE_2
  , c.City as three_city
  , c.state as three_state
  , c.zip as three_zip
from mytable a
  left outer join mytable b on a.id = b.id and b.line = 2
  left outer join mytable c on c.id = a.id and c.line = 3
where a.line = 1

So what we are doing is called a self join, because all three of the sets of data are in the same table, so we alias the rows with different line values as separate tables and then left outer join them. We use a left outer join since it appears only that line 1 is required, and line 2 and 3 are optional. Hope this helps :)

Torture in interrogation rooms: six lawsuits submitted through HaMoked over mental and physical damage caused to interrogees at the ISA interrogation facility at Shikma Prison
From September 2015 to May 2016, six lawsuits were filed via HaMoked against the state with its various agencies – the military, the Israel Prison Service (IPS) and the Israel Security Agency (ISA), concerning the ill-treatment and unacceptable interrogation methods used against detainees held at the ISA interrogation facility at Shikma Prison in Ashkelon, Israel. The lawsuits, which document humiliating treatment and acts of abuse which may amount to torture, point to the failure of all of the involved agencies in protecting the rights of detainees to dignity and bodily integrity and their absolute right not to be subjected to abuse and torture.
The lawsuits present a variety of failures, among them medical negligence on part of the authorities and improper interrogation methods practiced at Shikma Prison, including intensive interrogations, isolation conditions, prolonged shackling and sensory deprivation – which lead the interrogees to states of extreme anguish and despair, sometimes causing a mental breakdown.
One of the more disturbing cases appears in the lawsuit of a young man from Hebron who was arrested at his home in January 2014. The youth, suffering from shortness of breath and chronic leg and back pains, told both the military medic who saw him and the Shikma Prison doctor about his medical condition. Despite that, in complete disregard of his reported ailments, the man was interrogated for a whole of 36 days, 20 hours a day on average, while sitting on an interrogation chair with his arms and legs bound in painful positions. After he was interrogated for some ten days, the man suffered a mental breakdown to the degree that he lashed out at his interrogators and threatened he would kill himself. At this point a social worker was called in to talk with him, with the interrogators acting as interpreters. When the conversation ended the man was taken to a small windowless cell, where he was bound hand and foot to a bed! The same was done for four days: each day, at the end of a long and exhausting interrogation, the youth was taken to this cell and shackled during "rest hours".
Another lawsuit was filed by a man from Qalandiya Refugee Camp, who was arrested at his home at the age of 18, on November 2013; he was viciously beaten by the arresting soldiers with their rifle butts, cursed and humiliated during the arrest, while he was shackled and helpless. Despite the evident beating marks on his face and body, the medic who saw him instructed him to make a false report and mark "No" in all the articles of the medical form he had to fill. But the plaintiff marked "Yes" and signed the form. This was not the end of the system's negligent treatment of the arrested man. Once he was brought to the ISA facility at Shikma Prison, the youth said that the soldiers had abused him, but the facility doctor "saw and did nothing. Just checked the blood pressure". Although the youth told the doctor that he suffered from a chronic illness and required regular medical treatment, nothing was done. In his unstable state, the man was subjected to an intense interrogation lasting many hours, while handcuffed to a chair. All of this led to a substantial deterioration in his health, with recurring fainting spells and intolerable pains. The case is a clear instance of deliberate suppression of evidence of abuse by the soldiers and also of medical negligence, while placing the prisoner's health at risk.
The lawsuits, which detail the wrongful acts that took place while the plaintiffs were held by the various security agencies, point to unacceptable practices. The separate use of each of the depicted measures, and certainly in conjunction, amounts to cruel, inhuman and humiliating treatment and in some cases even torture. The six plaintiffs ask the court to award them damages for the harm they suffered as a result of the severe acts of soldiers, ISA personnel, interrogators and IPS personnel.
These and many others cases appear in a joint report by HaMoked and B'Tselem, published in February 2016, which describes the harsh incarceration conditions at the ISA interrogation facility at Shikma prison.

"We had three children, and my husband was in the logging business," says Carol. "He lasted just one year here full-time, choosing to spend weekends here and work over in the valley during the week. I stayed here with the kids and ran the store. At that time, my two oldest children had to travel to Bend for high school (three hours each day on the bus), while my fourth grader got to go to school here."
I asked Carol if things have changed much in La Pine since then, and she replied, "That's putting it mildly! When my husband's family first came here in 1946, one of them had the job of counting the cars on the Dalles-California Highway each day. One day a total of 58 cars went by…and 38 customers came in the store. There wasn't any electricity in town in 1946…and no telephones, police or fire department. La Pine was just a spot in the road."
"Years ago we had a binder full of names of people who came here to vacation during the summers. But many streets weren't paved yet and didn't even have names. I lived in the back of the store for ten years."
In 1997 Carol retired from the Hiway Center, and about five years after that, Homestead Quilts began renting her building. Carol still owns the Chamber of Commerce building next door, too.
"I moved to my current home on an acre and a half in La Pine in 1980," says Carol, "and paid $12,000 for it, so I guess things have changed quite a bit since then."
Carol stays busy helping out at the Center making Granny Pies and "helping wherever there's a little job to be done."
She decorates the tables at the Center for events and says "People really enjoy sitting down to lunch here, and it's nice to have the tables decorated attractively. I come to lunch here at least twice a week."
"There are a lot of places in town that really need help. We have a very unique little city, and we don't always agree with everyone, but if somebody needs help, by gosh, they're going to get it."
"The people of La Pine are caring people, and when I ran the store, we would get the same people each summer coming up to vacation. And they would always say, 'we love coming here because you're real: friendly, honest, helpful…and that's the best compliment you can receive."

If you attended the recent Winter Traditions Craft Fair in November of 2022, then you've seen Amy Hill's wonderful work in decorating the Community Center. She also decorated the Activity Center itself for the recent Storefront Decorating Contest, so she's a talented addition to our Center family of volunteers.
Amy and her family have lived in La Pine for 10 years, but she actually lived here 20 years ago for a brief time.
"My husband and I got married and moved to California for his job, but we decided we didn't want to raise kids there, so we came back to La Pine," says Amy.
When she's not at the Center, Amy owns Hillstead Farm, a plant and gift shop she operates out of her home.
"I'm known as the Crazy Plant Lady, but I'm just a stay-at–home mom with two children," says Amy, "and my husband is a Microsoft network engineer who works from an office on our property."
"Last September my dad was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and I just wasn't coping very well. Jamie invited me to help out at the Center and volunteering there really helped me through a tough time. It gave me something to do, something fulfilling and helpful to take my mind off things."
Amy continued, "A big part of volunteering is setting an example for our children in what we do for others. We always donate meals at Thanksgiving and it's really important to raise your children to appreciate how important taking care of our seniors is. And everyone at the Center is so happy to see you when you walk through that door! Everyone there knows my story and what I'm going through and Jamie has been a rock. She checks on me periodically, and I feel like I've made friends and belong to a family that I didn't have before I started volunteer there. It's a great place to be!

Director's Corner January 2023
HAPPY NEW YEAR! I hope this new year will be one filled with fun and informative activities and events at the La Pine Activity Center, for everyone in our community!
First off, I would like to thank St. Charles for their very generous donation of $5,000 to our Center, which makes them a legacy donor! We are excited to build this lasting relationship with St. Charles to help our seniors!
I'm in the process of getting plaques made for each person (we had 65 sponsors!) who paid $50 each to sponsor a bumper for our newly-paved parking lot. That's 65 inductees into our Bumper Hall of Fame!
We are already getting calls from prospective vendors for our 2023 Rhubarb Festival, to be held June 17 and 18. This two-day event is sure to be a fantastic time for our community!
We are starting up our 2023 campaign to get local businesses to advertise in this newsletter, as sponsors for the Activity Center. Please, if you know of any business that would like to be featured here, let us know and we'll reach out to them.
I'm having a box made to be placed on our front counter, for suggestions on what benefits we can offer people who become members of our La Pine Activity Center. I would like to find out why they come in, and what they would like to see that they have not seen offered here. Right now, Center members get a warm building in the winter, AC in the summer, internet access, a chance to socialize, do crafts and games, eat lunch, play bingo, attend parties and dances, find out about health and senior resources, and get discounts on classes we offer. But I'm trying to figure out more benefits we can offer (10% off room rentals for members, for example).
So please stop by or call the Activity Center and let us know what YOU would like to see happen here; we are open for the WHOLE community, not just seniors! And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Janice has been a volunteer at the La Pine Activity Center for less than a year, since around the time of the Sportsmen's Show in April of 2022.
"As a former accountant, I asked if the Center needed any spreadsheets done," said Janice. "Jamie turned around and pulled out the envelope of Rhubarb Festival vendor applications and said, 'here!' Ever since then, she's had her hooks into me! Jamie keeps her volunteers involved and busy! I also work the front desk on Monday afternoons and have worked on the Cascade Relay as well as the recent Winter Traditions Craft Bazaar. Jamie is a whirlwind for getting people motivated!"
Both born and raised in SE Portland, where Janice was an accountant and her husband was a CPA they have had a cabin in La Pine for nearly 40 years. They purchased the two adjacent acres, then combined the acreage and had a home built about 15 years ago. "The camaraderie of the other volunteers at the Center and the fact that Jamie will do just about anything for anybody makes this endeavor a wonderful experience. She likes a resolution to a person's problem," said Janice. "I'm looking forward to staying with the Center as a volunteer, and we're always looking for more!"

Background: Th1 cytokines are required for host antiviral immune responses. However little is known about the production and progression of cytokines in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients. The aim of this study was to assess the serum levels of Th1 cytokines and also their association with inflammatory indicators in HCV-infected and normal individuals.
Method: Fifty four HCV-infected patients along with thirty one healthy controls were selected using the sequential sampling method. Serum levels of interleukine-2 (IL-2), interferon-gamma (IFN-y) and tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-a) was determined in all the precipitants by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Moreover serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartat aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), C-reactive protein (CRP) and rheumatoid factor (RF) were also determined in both patient and control groups.
Results: The results showed that serum levels of IFN-y, TNF-a and IL-2 were higher in HCV-infected patients than controls group but the difference was significant only for TNF-a (p<0.05). A positive correlation was found between the serum level of TNF-a and IL-2 in patient group (p<0.05).
Conclusions: TNF-a is the main mediator of the acute inflammatory responses to microbial infections and in our study serum level of TNF-a in HCV-infected patients was higher than healthy subjects. Positive correlation of serum TNF-a and IL-2 levels in HCV-infected patients may contribute to the role of innate immunity in stimulating the adaptive immune responses, thus suggests role of TNF-a in antibody production.
Keywords: Cytokine, Hepatitis C, Inflammation.

Role players carrying several hot bats for O's
Snider, Parmelee chip in solo shots, while Lough delivers two-run double
By Nick Suss
PHILADELPHIA -- Winners of eight of nine and 11 of 13, the Orioles' offense is clicking, averaging more than six runs per game over that stretch and scoring nine or more in three of those games. Much of this production has come from players who don't often see plenty of playing time.
• Cast your Esurance All-Star ballot for #ASGWorthy players
Though this scenario is a manager's dream -- getting quality at-bats from role players even when your marquee stars have an off-night -- it also has a catch, something Buck Showalter remarked on after Wednesday's 6-4 win in Philadelphia.
"If one has to take a blow, then the next one can step in there," Showalter said. "Unfortunately, we've got about 35 of them, and it's hard to hold them all."
Video: BAL@PHI: Lough doubles in a pair in the 4th inning
Less-heralded Orioles such as David Lough, Travis Snider and Chris Parmelee were the ones to step up Wednesday by driving in four of the team's six runs, two of which came from solo shots by Parmelee and Snider.
Snider's home run was his second of the year, but he said postgame that some of his teammates had been razzing him and saying it felt like it had been a couple of years since his last big fly. Jokes aside, Snider said his homer and the contributions of his teammates perfectly encapsulates Baltimore's team dynamic.
"Guys are going to step up each and every night, and that's what makes it a great team to play for. You know somebody is going to pick you up if it's not your night," Snider said.
Parmelee, unlike Snider, doesn't need to think back very far to remember the last time he hit a home run. He hit two just one day ago in his first day back in the Majors from Triple-A. Since his return Tuesday, Parmelee is 5-for-9 with three homers and three RBIs, amassing 14 total bases in his 10 plate appearances.

As many heads as Parmelee has turned over the past few days, he said that he hasn't surprised himself with his play, mostly because of the way he prepares for games.
"I'm enjoying the high right now, but you've got to keep it as level as possible," Parmelee said. "I know I'm capable of it, but you've just got to keep it going as long as you can. You don't always feel good every single day you come to the park. So I just try to keep it as consistent as possible."
It may seem precarious for Showalter to juggle the hot bats of Parmelee and Snider, as well as Lough, who filled in again for regular center fielder Adam Jones on Wednesday with a not-too-shabby 1-for-4 day with two RBIs. But the importance of this offensive outburst hasn't been lost on the manager, who said he believes this team is starting to resemble last year's postseason club.
"It's kind of us, slowly by slowly us, trying to get back to what we try to be," Showalter said.

Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team's Michael van der Mark sent the Dutch fans wild at a hot and sunny Assen on Saturday during Race 1 at Round 4 of the WorldSBK Championship. Riding at his home round, he recovered from a tricky SP2 to charge from seventh on the grid to secure his second podium of the season after a sensational ride at the TT Circuit Assen. It was a more of a mixed day for his teammate Alex Lowes. The British rider secured his maiden WorldSBK pole position after a stunning lap in SP2 but when the lights went out for Race 1, after a great start, it became obvious something was not right. Unfortunately, through no fault of his own, the wrong front tyre had been fitted to his R1 on the grid, which meant that after five laps he simply had no grip. Despite this, he battled bravely to bring his Pata Yamaha R1 home in a creditable 12th place.
Van der Mark loves racing in front of the Dutch fans at Assen and it always seems to bring out the best in the 25-year-old rider. After ending Friday's practice in third overall, he entered into SP2 confident he could fight for pole but a mistake on the qualifying tyre saw him miss out on the lap time he knew was capable of. Starting the race from seventh on the gird, the 2014 WorldSSP Champion made his usual lightning start and was up to fourth by the first corner. Remaining calm and focused, he set the fastest lap of the race on lap 2, picking his way past his teammate on the third lap to move up into second and then became involved in a race-long game of cat and mouse with Jonathan Rea and Chaz Davies.
Van der Mark made the grandstand erupt when he made a classic Assen move on Rea at the Geert Timmer Chicane to take the lead and attempted to break away. Try as he might, he could not shake Rea and by lap nine, Chaz Davies had joined the party to make it a three-way battle for victory. A thrilling final few laps ensued, with van der Mark always in the hunt for the race win, matching Rea and Davis lap for lap. On lap 17 he blasted past Davies into second and tried to dislodge Rea from the lead but it was not meant to be. To the delight of the Dutch fans, the man from Rotterdam crossed the line in second, just 0.981s behind Rea to secure his second podium of the season and collect 20 championship points. The result sees van der Mark move up into fourth in the overall standings with 87 points, only 19 points behind Marco Melandri in third. Knowing he has the pace to fight for the win, he will enter into Sunday's Race 2 with the mission of going one better and aiming for his first Yamaha victory from eighth on the grid.
Lowes ended Friday's practice in fifth and felt good on his Pata Yamaha R1 during Saturday's morning FP4 session, which saw him enter into SP2 full of confidence. After his first run in the 15-minute qualifying session, he was lying in third having set a 1:35.163, but the best was yet to come. On his final run, Lowes showed supreme speed and commitment, to set a 1:34.066 and take his maiden WorldSBK pole position in superb style. Unfortunately, that was the highlight of Lowes' Saturday. When it came to Race 1, there was a suspected problem with his number one bike which could have caused a safety issue, so he was given official permission to switch to his second bike.
With both machines prepared identically, this was no issue for the 27-year-old British rider but, unfortunately, somehow there was an error on the grid and the wrong compound front tyre was fitted to his Pata Yamaha R1. When the lights went out, Lowes was battling at the front and had the pace to fight for victory but after five laps, he suffered from a drastic loss of grip due to the softer compound of his front tyre. As the race went on, the grip levels became progressively worse and it was a heroic effort from the 2013 British Superbike Champion to ride around the issue and bravely bring his R1 home in 12th place. Knowing he has the pace to fight at the front, Lowes is looking to forward to bouncing back in Sunday's Race 2 and mounting a podium challenge from 10th on the grid. The four points he secured in Race 1 means he is now seventh in the championship standings with 74 points, just 2 behind Tom Sykes in sixth.
The Pata Yamaha Official WorldSBK Team will be ready to fight for the podium once more on Sunday, with the action kicking off at 9:35 am CEST for Warm Up and the 21-lap race scheduled to start at 1 pm. Check out the full WorldSBK Race 2 results.
"I am really, really happy with the result. In SP2, I made a big mistake on my qualifying tyre and I was quite angry. I had to start from P7 but had a good start and took a special line into Turn 1 to make up a couple of places. I stayed quiet in the first few laps, passed a few people and I knew I had to stay calm because I had the pace to fight at the front. Step by step I managed my way to the front and I was following Jonny and I thought he wasn't pushing 100%, so I tried to stay with him. Then, I managed to get past him and tried to push to see if we could break away from the other guys behind us but, after that, he passed me again and I just tried to stay with him because I knew in the last few laps we could have a good battle. Then Chaz got involved in the mix. I was a little bit worried but when I saw how hard Chaz was pushing Jonny and I could follow them quite well, I was really happy. Then, in the last few laps, I saw that everyone was struggling a little bit. I passed Chaz and I tried to catch Jonny but he had a little bit more pace and he took the race win. Anyway, I am really happy with P2 as this is the closest we have been to a victory. For tomorrow, we have to improve some small areas on my R1 and I think we can fight at the front again."
"It was a great start to the day to get my maiden WorldSBK pole but, obviously, I would prefer to have a race win! Before the race, we swapped to my second bike because there was an issue and, unfortunately, we made a mistake and put the wrong tyre in the bike on the grid. We are not sure how it happened but it was beyond my control. It was a tough day because I was riding really well and I think showed my speed when I was fighting at the front. I made a really good step in FP4 and, as it turned out, we had better pace than we expected, which was nice. We win and lose together as a team, I have complete confidence in my guys, the R1 feels great here so we will come out fighting tomorrow!"
"Well done to Michael and his crew - what a race! Qualifying was disappointing for Michael but the way he responded from the start and in the early laps was fantastic, and then to battle for the win over full race distance with the Championship's key protagonists was super-impressive. The R1 worked superbly well and especially in the fast, flowing corners Michael and the Yamaha were very much the package to beat. There are a couple of key points on the track that we need to improve just a little and, if we achieve that, then Michael can again aim very high in Race 2 tomorrow. Thanks to him and his hard-working crew and engineers for giving Pata Yamaha a great result and getting ever closer to the victory we are targeting!
Alex did an incredible and impressive lap to achieve his, and the new generation R1's, first WorldSBK pole position - but unfortunately this was the high point of the day and things became a little more complicated after that. Shortly before the pit-lane opened for the race, the team diagnosed a suspected fault that could have created a safety issue and we were forced to change, with the FIM's permission, to the back-up machine. This bike was perfectly prepared and, despite the stress caused by such a late notice change of machine, caused Alex no compromise to the performance. However, due to a team error, the incorrect compound front tyre was unknowingly fitted on the grid and, after only 5 laps, Alex knew he was in trouble. The tyre became progressively worse and rendered the R1 almost un-rideable as the race progressed - we have to thank Alex for bringing the bike home in the points and for his supportive, mature attitude after the race. As Team Principal, I apologise to Alex and to Yamaha for letting them both down today. We will recover from this and move forward positively as a team, starting tomorrow.
Despite this, of course, we have to be positive - fastest Lap of Race 1 and an awesome P2 result for Michael; pole position and a great race performance by Alex under incredibly difficult circumstances. We look forward to tomorrow with great anticipation."


Thank God I did not add the new skins that you might not like as well. Because you didn't saw them in game.
So i was just checking this topic again to see how many people shared there opinions etc and to see which skins they liked the most and i come across this reply from Maverick where he says that he will add only 2 new admin skins which he will make available for VIP'S to so where are those 2 new skins?
I don't know what makes you think that i am the only one who want's new skins to be added to the server i mean if the other players didn't want they wouldn't even bother replying on this topic.
So are you going to finally add 2 new skins to the server as you said.
Така на мене от всички най-много ми харесаха Agent Smith, Jack Sparrow, DeadPool и Jokera, ще е добре ако се добавят.
Deadpool for T and Death Stroke for CT have been added, they are also available for VIP players.

Early days at Anzac Cove
[From: Waite, p. 83.]
In 1919, Fred Waite, a Gallipoli veteran and hero with a DSO [Citation: "For gallantry and devotion to duty in connection with the operations at the Darddanelles (Mediterranean Expeditionary Force). On the night of 2-3 May 1915 during the operations in the neighbourhood of Gape Tepe for gallantry and resource in rallying his men, and leading them forward at critical moments."] finished his work on the Gallipoli Campaign called The New Zealanders at Gallipoli, which was published by Whitcombe and Tombs Limited in Christchurch.

Fred Waite, The New Zealanders at Gallipoli, Christchurch , 1919, pp. 74 - 85
The Anzac Landing.
Early on Sunday morning the intention of Army Headquarters was made clear by the issue of orders for the attack. A study of the map revealed three dominating land features. In the south, overlooking Cape Helles, was the great hump of Achi Baba. Inland from Suvla Bay was the tangled mass of cliffs, valleys and hills culminating in the peak of the Sari Bair system, which, from its height marked in feet, was after wards known as "Hill 971." Lying further over near the Straits and protecting the fortress on the European side, was the mountain system known as the "Pasha Dagh" or Kilid Bahr Plateau. Both Achi Baba and Hill 971 had to be captured before attempting the plateau, which latter having fallen, we could take possession of the great fortresses of Kilid Bahr, and Chanak on the opposite shore. These two places is our hands, the passage of the fleet would be largely a matter of careful mine sweeping.
In order to mystify the enemy and to encourage him to disperse his forces, two subsidiary attacks were undertaken. Away up at Bulair a fleet of empty transports, accompanied by a few men-of-war, were to make a demonstration. Down on the Asiatic coast the French were to land, reduce Kum Kale and the forts in the neighbourhood, and then withdraw The 29th and Royal Naval Divisions were to land on several beaches at the extremity of the Peninsula and push on towards Krithia and Achi Baba, being reinforced by the French Division after its withdrawal from Kum Kale. The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps was ordered to force a landing on the beach between Gaba Tepe and Fishremen's Hut. Hill 971 itself was to be avoided, the troops endeavouring to pass over its southern under-features to the road running from Boghali and Maidos. Mal Tepe was a hill specifically mentioned. "The capture of this position would threaten and perhaps cut the line of retreat of the enemy's troops on Kilid Bahr plateau, and have far-reaching results," said the operation order.
Passing Cape Helles.
When morning fully broke the New Zealand transports were nearing Cape Helles. The big guns of the fleet were pounding the forts until the horizon seemed a mass of smoke and flame. Over against Kum Kale the French ships were hotly engaged; off Cape Helles the British stood close into the forts. Again we saw our old friend the "Askold"—now christened the "Packet of Woodbines," because of her five long funnels. The noise of the naval bombardment was truly extraordinary—the sharp crack of the lighter guns; the ear-splitting roar of the 12-inchers; and booming clearly above them all, the tremendous reports from the 15-inch guns of the "Queen Elizabeth." Watching from the rail, the soldiers were very sorry for the Turk. It seemed impossible that anything could live through such a bombardment. At the morning service, with the reverberation of the incessant gunfire assailing our ears, we found it difficult to hear the padre reading "In the midst of life we are in death." From across the water the bark of the 6-inch guns struck harshly on the singing of the soldiers' favourite hymns.
Just opposite Gaba Tepe the transports slowed down. Like children kept inside on a wet day, we were very impatient. A desire to be doing something possessed all ranks. The men broke up cases and split the wood for kindling fires ashore. Every man pushed seven or eight pieces through the straps on the back of his pack. Many seized the opportunity to write the letter that most thoughtful soldiers write at the beginning of a campaign—a letter to be carried in the breast pocket and only to be forwarded by the comrade that buries him—tender farewells, simply and beautifully written, as men always do write when they are face to face with the things that really matter.
In groups of four the transports, covered by the battleships, moved up to about a mile off shore, disembarked the troops of the first echelon, and then moved to the rear, letting the next four continue the manoeuvre. On our port side the old twin-funnelled "Majestic" belched a stream of 12-inch shells on the ridges; away to starboard, the four long funnels of the "Bacchante" were dimly discernible through a tremendous column of smoke. Southwards, as far as the eye could see, were transports innumerable, and closer in-shore, the angry, barking battleships.
Going Ashore.
The destroyers were taking their human freights as far in as they dared—and the average t.b.d. commander will dare a good deal. Over the side and down the swaying rope ladders we went for the last time. This was not a Mudros Harbour practice. We felt uncommonly clumsy and three times our ordinary size. With our hob-nailed boots we clattered about the iron deck, until it was so crowded we had perforce to stand still.
Now the picket boat zone was reached. Off the destroyer and into a barge. Six barges made a tow. The little steamboat puffed and tugged, and off we swerved like a sinuous snake.
The 3rd Australian Brigade made the first landing about 5 in the morning, and had cleared the first ridges. New Zealand Headquarters landed at 10 a.m.; then there was a strange hitch, and the precious hours between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. were wasted. By this time the Turk had in some measure made up his mind about the real attack and had concentrated his guns on the beach. He only had to fire at the water's edge, consequently he had no difficulty in ranging by the map. He knew that the Landing must be in a very circumscribed area, and his ranging was good. Shells plopped in the water all round as the tows set a course for the beach.
Boat after boat of wounded passed us going back to the transports they had left only a few hours before. They waved their blood-stained arms and cheered with feeble cheers. The encouragement was certainly welcome.
We were now well within range. Rifle and shrapnel fire was whipping the water round the boats. About 300 yards from the shore the barges were cast loose, and each, with a naval rating as coxswain, pulled vigorously for the beach. Casualties were frequent. As the boats grounded, the men tumbled out; many were hit in the water and were drowned a major, jumping from the bows—the water was about 2 feet deep—was hit in the knee. He fell into the surf, but was hauled on board again, and the picket boat towed him back to the transport he had just left. The survivors fell in and adjusted their heavy equipment under the protection of the sandy cliff.
Straight into the Battle.
Up in the maze of gullies our men were struggling with the Turks. As each company or platoon came ashore it was rushed up to the firing line. Casualties and the broken country made control very difficult, and up where the tide ebbed and flowed, the natural leaders of men, whether they happened to be officers or privates, led their little groups to the attack or stood stubbornly at bay among the scrub-clad hills.
The orders given to our Division on disembarkation were for the New Zealand Infantry Brigade to prolong the line to the left of the 1st Australian Division, and particularly to support the left of the Third Brigade, which had landed as the covering force to the Army Corps; the 4th Australian Infantry Brigade was to be held in reserve. The landing of the Auckland Battalion was completed at 12 noon. Walker's Ridge was given as its objective. By 12.30 p.m., two companies of the Canterbury Battalion were ashore, and were directed to support the Auckland Battalion.
At 1 p.m., the Auckland Battalion was recalled from Walker's Ridge and brought more to the right, to occupy Plugge's Plateau, in order more directly to connect with the left of the covering brigade. The two Canterbury companies prolonged the left flank of the Auckland Battalion, in the direction of Walker's Ridge. Between 12.30 p.m. and 5 p.m. the Otago Battalion arrived and was sent up to Plugge's Plateau in support of the Auckland Battalion. When the remaining two companies of the Canterbury Battalion arrived they were sent to Walker's Ridge to prolong and reinforce the left flank.
Owing to the accuracy of the enemy big-gun fire, the transports with our field guns aboard were temporarily forced to retire. The Turkish gunners were punishing us severely, and we realized to the full the bitterness of not being able to effectively retaliate. But the Indian Mountain Batteries endeared themselves to all by their sacrificing efforts. Gallantly led, these matchless gunners, with their patient mules, wheedled their guns up to seemingly inaccessible vantage points; unlimbering, they would get in a dozen effective shots and be down in the gully and up to an alternate position before their opponents could sense the situation.
All along the beach, under the scanty shelter of the cliff, the wounded lay—some on stretchers, some on blankets, others on the shingle. The surgeons worked as they never had before. Wounded poured down from the hills incessantly. The picket boats towed their barges, crammed with troops, to the beach, and seemed to take away almost as many wounded.
The sun went down and the ships stood over against Samothrace silhouetted in the sunset. But with the night came no peace. The Turks attacked with renewed vigour—reinforcements had arrived for them. Blowing trumpets and shouting "Allah!" they surged forward. Our fellows ran to meet them, cursing in good round English and very bad Arabic. Up there in the tangled gullies many a strange duel was fought that night. When not actually fighting, men dug for their lives. Then on would come the Turks again, shovels would be dropped, and the attack repelled. One desperate rush was stemmed by a gallant band headed by a corporal with nothing more effective than a pick-handle.
A Desperate Night.
As the evening wore on, the beach became one long lane of suffering soldiers. The doctors could only attend to the most severe cases. Many a man, when asked if he was badly hurt, said, bravely enough, "Oh, no!" and died quietly in the night.
The stretcher bearers were magnificent. From the order, "Stretcher squads fall in" at the moment of landing, these men slaved on the ridges and in those valleys of torment. A man without a load can dash from cover to cover, but the stretcher bearers, with their limp and white-faced burdens, must walk steadily on, ignoring sniper and hostile gunner. From the front line it took about two and a half hours to get a patient to the hospital on the beach. Hour after hour the work went on, until after twenty hours' stretcher bearing these unheeded heroes fell in their tracks from sheer exhaustion. Volunteers took up the work, but after a few hours' rest, the gallant souls were out again — medical officers, stretcher bearers and hospital orderlies literally working themselves to death in an endeavour to mitigate the awful anguish of the wounded men of Anzac. "I shall never forget that night," said a sergeant of the N.Z.M.C., "A twelve-stone weight on the stretcher, a dark night, a little drizzling rain, groping our way down a steep incline through prickly scrub, our wounded man crying with pain and begging for a drink every few yards, incessant rifle fire, and bullets whizzing all round us." Except those who lay so very quietly up in the scrub or on the shell-swept beach, no one rested that night. The firing line was gradually becoming a little defined as the tired soldiers on both sides became exhausted.
The units were inextricably mixed—Australian and New Zealand infantry clung doggedly to the hardly-won crest line. Approximately, the Australian 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Brigades held the right flank; the centre was in a state of flux, but the 4th Australian Brigade held the ridges at the head of Monash Gully; the Otago trenches grew up overlooking Monash Gully; the Aucklanders dug in along Plugge's Plateau; the Canterbury Battalion were desperately engaged on Walker's Ridge, where their gallant commander (Lieut.-Colonel Stewart) fell at the head of his men. The Wellingtons landed in the dark and went straight up to Plugge's Plateau. The gunners laboured all through the night preparing for the eagerly expected howitzers; while the sappers hastily improvized a second line of defence along Plugge's Plateau down Maclagan's Ridge to the sea. Here the last stand would be made if the worst came, but the morning broke and the outer line was still intact; picks were laid aside and the indomitable men of Anzac again took up their rifles to face the trials of the day.

Ireland's Minister for Communications Eamon Ryan announced today that the Republic would have 100% broadband coverage by September 2010 under the remit of the country's National Broadband Scheme (NBS), writes The Irish Times. EUR223 million (USD290 million) is being invested in the scheme to provide broadband access in remote and rural parts of Ireland currently without any form of high speed internet connection; the government estimates this to be approximately 33% of the country. The NBS initiative will provide access to a further 223,000 homes and businesses to connect to the always-on, high speed internet connections with an initial minimum download speed of 1.2Mbps. Investment is coming from Exchequer funds, EU co-financing and service provider 3, which has been selected as preferred tenderer for the scheme. 3's successful bid beat off competition from BT Ireland, eircom and a consortium made up of IFA and Motorola.


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), African Americans are 44 percent of all new diagnoses of HIV cases in the United States, yet we comprise only 12% of the population. It is estimated that 41 percent of those living with HIV nation wide are African American and about 14 percent don't even know they are infected.
Equally alarming is the high death rate among African Americans. A whopping 54 percent of all AIDS-related deaths are African American. For sure this is connected to the care and treatment, or lack thereof, of African Americans rather than medical ability to control the virus. Lets' be clear, the advances around the treatment of HIV in the last 36 years since the first cases of AIDS are nothing short of remarkable.
When I was diagnosed in March of 1987, there was nothing to treat HIV. Then, AZT came and other antiretroviral medications slowly trickled in. Today, there are 39 HIV medications in six different drug classes that attack HIV differently. When I say no one has to die from AIDS-related death, I don't want to make it sound that simple, but it really is that simple.
So why are we dying at a much higher rates then everyone else?
The CDC estimates that 79 percent of newly diagnosed African Americans are linked to medical care within 3 months of their diagnosis. Sounds great, right? The problem is only 51 percent remain in care. Only 37 percent of African Americans are prescribed antiretroviral theory (ART) and only 29 percent achieved viral suppression. Let me break it down.
When we find out our status, we get connected to care, but we don't stay in care. While in care, we are not receiving the vital medications that can expand our life expectancy and or we are not taking our medication consistently to reach viral suppression.
Now, I'm not a social scientist, but I understand that some of these statics are rooted in poverty, homelessness, distrust of the medical community, mental illness, rural vs. city living and if I asked you, I bet we could add to this list all day.

With CES 2019 – one of the world's biggest technology events – happening this week, we thought this would be the best time to list the top eight tech trends we think will be massive in 2019, with a focus on the disruptive products being developed in the Southwest. Whilst wacky TVs, foldable phones and lovable robots are all the rage at CES, we're shining the spotlight on the Silicon Gorge and new products designed to change and improve our lives beyond entertainment.
Marc Andreessen, one of the founders of the influential Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, recently said in a podcast that "speech as a [user interface] is rapidly on the rise, so I think audio is going to be titanically important." And we agree: we have been registering an exponential growth in the number of projects we've been working on since last year related to voice-activated devices and skills.
Voice is the new user interface and chip designer XMOS knows this. The Bristol-based company is actually at CES 2019, generating even more excitement around its accurate voice-capture technology and showing the world's first digital assistant device with the ability to listen to where you are and point the audio back at the person who queried the device to reply more accurately.
Green energy is becoming more important as we realise the need to develop more and better sustainable products. Robial is a company doing just that with the innovative technology PEE POWER®, a system developed at Bristol Robotics Laboratory that can turn organic matter like urine and other types of wastewater into electricity. Whilst generating energy, the system also sanitises the wastewater and naturally produces plant fertilizer – sounds like a win-win.
After winning an award at CES 2018, Ultrahaptics is back in Las Vegas in 2019 to show how their technology has further developed over the last year. Mid-air haptics technology recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user and can be applied to a wide range of applications. Basically, it allows companies to create virtual objects, like a virtual button in a virtual reality game, that can be touched and felt by the user experiencing a game, for example.
Here's a video showing the reactions of people who tried the company's demos at CES 2018.
Bristol is a hub of new healthcare-related technology. Take the example of Ziylo, a spin-out company initially created at the University of Bristol and then bought by Novo Nordisk, that is working on the development of the world's first glucose-responsive insulin. Ziylo's technology could potentially revolutionise the treatment of diabetes for 382 million people around the world. The innovative technology is able to react and adapt to glucose levels in the blood, therefore eliminating the risk of hypoglycaemia and leading to better control of the disease.
And then we also have the examples of Invatech Health, which has developed a next-generation pharmacy operating system called Titan, and Okulo with its self-administered platform that aims to detect visual loss before the patient does.
In the second half of 2018, we noticed an increase in the number of projects involving virtual and augmented reality and this trend is set to grow even more in 2019. As far as Bristol is concerned, the city is well represented by companies like Reach Robotics (read our co-blog with them here), creators of the world's first gaming robot, MekaMon, and organisations like Bristol VR Lab.
And let's not forget about Plessey, the leading developer of optoelectronic technology presenting the world's first AR/VR glasses powered by microLEDs at CES 2019. As far as AR/VR goggles and headsets are concerned, Plessey's technology offers ten times the resolution, 100 times the contrast ratio, and up to 1,000 times the brightness with half the power consumption. Not only does this mean more quality and better resolution, but also a longer battery life in portable devices.
Bristol-based chip designer Graphcore, creators of a super advanced processor chip that can handle machine learning and artificial intelligence software more efficiently, has raised $1.7 billion in funding so far. Billion-dollar companies are not usual, especially in the UK, hence why the company achieved the "unicorn" status last year. In 2019, they are not only presenting at CES, but will also keep working on its next generation of processor based on 7nm process technology, which is set to make the chips smaller, faster and cheaper.
Fintech and digital currencies have been a hot topic for a few years now, but that doesn't mean the excitement around these topics is slowing down. In Bristol, companies like Payaca are making life easier for independent tradespeople by helping them to connect with leading loan providers and enabling them to access finance at fair rates. The other fintech company on our radar is Tumelo: their app works based on the idea of "engaged investing", providing financial advice and personalising portfolios in line with the user's values.
2018 was the year of GDPR, but data protection and privacy will still be hot topics in 2019. Companies like Tap are using blockchain technology to allow the user to take control of their data. The app makes it simple to see what personal data organisations hold about you, and then allows you to act on it if you wish to revoke the organisations' right to hold said data.
