Unprecedented integration and programmable flexibility cut smart-grid deployment and ownership costs for utilities.
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has revealed the industry's first complete smart-meter System-on-Chip (SoC) that combines precision metering with flexible, programmable processing and PLC (Power-Line Communication) subsystems along with advanced security in a single device.
The STCOMET10 SoC delivers unprecedented integration, leveraging ST's expertise in PLC and smart-meter ICs gained over 20 years and via more than 90 million devices delivered. OEMs can use this unique future-proof platform to simplify smart-meter design, reduce time-to-market, and significantly reduce component count and bill-of-materials costs.
ST has worked closely with utility companies and meter manufacturers to develop the STCOMET10 SoC, which already has a major role in the €27 million SOGRID project in France to develop a comprehensive communication system supporting smart-grid applications.
Leveraging a unique modular and integrated mixed-signal design, the STCOMET10 offers the highest system flexibility and programmability along with the highest performance for specialized smart-metering functions in a single chip.
Matteo Lo Presti, Group Vice President and General Manager, Industrial and Power Conversion Division, STMicroelectronics, said:
"As an extremely cost-effective and flexible smart-meter solution, STCOMET10 has a key role in realizing the advantages of the smart grid, including real-time control and adaptability of the grid, integration of decentralized generation from renewable energy sources, and support for multiple communication standards."
"Globally there is scope for over 1.7 billion communicating devices connected to the smart grid. STCOMET10 greatly increases the prospects for interoperability among these devices promoting more efficient utilization of energy resources."
The STCOMET10 SoC features a dedicated fully programmable PLC signal-processing engine for multi-protocol management, a state-of-the-art ARM® Cortex™-M4 based application-processing subsystem with program Flash and RAM, a high-accuracy 3-channel analog and digital metering front-end, and security engine. In particular, the smart-meter SoC supports important PLC protocols such as METERS AND MORE®, G3-PLC®, IEEE 1901.2 and PRIME®. Its flexibility and broad protocol support allow worldwide deployment and remote reconfiguration to support new protocols in the future, minimizing lifetime ownership costs for operators.
The metering subsystem exceeds Class 0.2 meter requirements, combining three high-accuracy 24-bit A-to-D converters, integrated filters, and a configurable hardwired DSP for energy calculations. The integrated PLC engine supports output signals up to 28V peak-to-peak and has extended bandwidth of up to 500kHz, while the dedicated security engine supports state-of-the-art cryptography and multiple security modes for privacy and anti-hacking protection, enhancing the SoC's value.
STCOMET10 SoC in a 20mm x 20mm x 1mm TQFP package is available for selected customers now, with production quantities available beginning of 2014. Please contact your local ST sales office for pricing and sample requests.

Have you ever felt like you are speaking a different language with your partner? Have you ever felt that despite how much you love and care for each other, sometimes this is not enough when communication has broken down?
When communication breaks down, it can feel frustrating and painful. I have noticed when talking with my clients that it's mostly the "feeling heard" part of communication that is going wrong. Over time this can become really unbearable for any relationship.
Conflict isn't fun for any of the two parties involved, but it is a natural part of life. The quicker and more effective we learn to deal with it, the better the quality of our relationships and ultimately of our lives is going to be.
In today's video, you will learn 3 tips to bear in mind whenever you find yourself getting stuck in an argument with your partner.
Now I would love to hear what you think! In the comments below tell me what has been the biggest insight from today? Have you found your own approach when it comes to transforming the communication pattern with your partner?
Be as open as you can, because your insight might be invaluable for other people too.
Thank you so much for caring and supporting.
With love,

Astronomy 210 Quiz 6, fall semester 2014
Cuesta College, San Luis Obispo, CA
Fusion requires high temperatures in order for nuclei to move quickly enough to:
(A) overcome gravity.
(B) overcome repulsion.
(C) create convection currents.
(D) break heavy elements apart.
Correct answer (highlight to unhide): (B)
Atomic nuclei repel each other due to their constituent protons; this repulsion can only be overcome when the nuclei approach each other rapidly enough at temperatures much higher than room temperature.
Note that response (D) refers to nuclear fission.

10 Basic ThingsaPoker Newbie Needs to Know
WedeQQ is an online gambling site based in Indonesia. It's a site which consists of 7 games that can be divided into two (2) categories: card and domino. One of the seven games ispoker. If you are new to poker and you wanted to learn how to play it, then this article will serve as a guide for beginners like you. In a poker game, 52 cards or 4 set of cards are used. In a deck of cards, there are four suits namely spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs and each suit contains 13 cards starting from king, queen, jack, 10 to 2, and ace. Poker is not a hard game to play; all you must do is to remember the ranking of what beats what. In playing poker, there are 10 possible hands you might have, and the following combinations is listed below in descending order from the strongest to the weakest hand:
Royal Flush
The strongest and the unbeatable hand in Situs Domino Poker Online. A royal flush refers to cards that is composed of king, queen, jack, ten, and ace all in the same suit. It's a special type of flush.
Straight Flush
Is another special type of flush which consists of 5 consecutive cards in the same suit.If two players have straight flushes, the one with the highest-ranking card wins.
Four of a Kind
Four of a kind has 4 cards of the same ranking plus any card. If a tie exists, the one with the highest ranking four of a kind wins.
Full House
Full house has 3 same ranking cards and a pair of same ranking cards. The one who has the highest 3 matching cards will win.
Flush is a combination of different ranking cards in the same suit.The one holding the highest-ranking card won in a tie.
Straight is like a royal flush or a straight flush. The only difference is that they don't have the same suit. If ace appears in a royal flush way, the ace is the highest card. Otherwise, A is the lowest in a straight flush like 5,4,3,2, and A. To put it simply, a non-suited royal straight flush beats ordinary straight.
Three of a Kind
Three of a kind has 3 cards of the same ranking and two random cards. In case of a tie, the one holdingthe highest three of a kind hand wins.
Two Pairs
Consists of two different pairs (same-ranking)and a side card or kicker. For a two pair in a tie situation, the one with the highest pair wins. If the two players have the same highest pairs, the secondhighest is considered. If both players have identical 2 pairs, the one with highest side card wins.
A pair consists of two cards of the same ranking and three random cards. If the players have identical pairs, the highest side card wins. If both players have the same first and second highest side cards, the last card with greater rank will win.
High Card
A high cardis a combination of differentunsuitedcards which is the weakest of all card combinations. The hand with the highest-ranking card wins. If the players have the same 1st to 4thcard, the last card with the greater value wins.

Last week, McDonald's announced it will stop lobbying against efforts to increase the federal minimum wage. Proponents of an increased minimum wage took that as a positive sign that they will have success raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $15.00 an hour. McDonald's supports a "phase-in" approach to raising the minimum wage.
Supporters of a minimum wage increase might have missed that this announcement came the same week McDonald's announced its largest acquisition in over 20 years: a $300MM purchase of a software company that specializes in decision logic. Instead of a pimply 16 year old asking, "Would you like fries with that," a prompt on a kiosk or a phone will ask that question to McDonald's customers. McDonald's has already begun to automate the ordering process and will use the acquisition to increase its automation push.
I doubt the timing of both announcements was a coincidence. McDonald's is willing to pay $15 an hour because a lot of its entry level (clerk) jobs will go away as it uses its new automation platform. Its competitors who cannot automate will have to pay a higher wage. A local restaurant cannot make a $300MM acquisition to automate ordering. They will either pay the new wage or go out of business. When labor becomes more expensive relative to capital, companies will invest more in capital if they can. Expect more national chains to follow McDonald's lead and continue automating.
Automation is already here. It will continue to alter the employment landscape. I am all for the creative destruction that is the hallmark of capitalism. I despise crony capitalism that gives those with influence power to support initiatives that enrich themselves. That's what McDonald's is doing and that is what a lot of our politicians support. It's a shame.

Hi, We recently had server merge on Server 18. On the day before server merge It was 2/5 Troop Train in Monarch Competition. I won this competition which put me 1st in Overall Scores for the week. I'm sure most players would agree with me that if you win Troop Train then 99% of the time you win the overall. Server Merge happened overnight and when the new server time day started it was 2/5 Troop train again. This gave everybody a 2nd Chance to beat my score from the original day and win the overall competition, not to mention that now my score had to go up against a whole new server as well. Somebody did beat my score and take 1st Overall in monarch competition, putting me down to 2nd which will cause me to lose a substantial amount of rewards. I do not think this is fair at all, in any normal week, it would have ticked over to day 3/5 and I would have nearly definitely gone on to win the overall. But this time due to a mix up with Server Merge, everybody got a 2nd day to try and beat my score. I raised a ticket with in game support, who offered me 300 Gems compensation, This made me very upset, I am a very loyal player, who has spent a lot on this game and expected a better response, I told support this and that I wasn't happy with 300 gems considering I have lost out on 20k Gems plus the extra Alliance points, honour, Speed and res. They came back and said they can give me some Res and would I be happy with that, I said that it depends how much res and it would need to be a substantial amount considering I've missed out on 20k Gems. I checked the thread a couple of hours later and it has been deleted. This is a disgusting way to treat a VIP level 16 player who has contributed greatly to the success of this game. Clearly by offering me some compensation, Evony have taken responsibility that this shouldn't have happened and I have just grounds to be upset and want compensation. I would like this looked into please and o be offered an amount of compensation that Is not an insult and mocking me.

Conservative chairman Eric Pickles has expressed delight that Norsheen Bhatti has been selected as a general election candidate.
Pickles (pictured with Bhatti) has tweeted that he recruited herfrom the Liberal Democrats, and was the first to praise her selection. He wrote:
Congratulations to Norsheen Bhatti Conservative Candidate for Stoke on Trent Central. I recruited Norsheen to the Party so I'm very pleased.
Bhatti provoked anger from the Lib Dems when she quit for the Tories earlier this year. But she has an uphill battle to take Stoke Central from Labour, despite the government's difficulties.
Labour MP Mark Fisher's 9,000 majority looks enough to carry him home even with a fall in his support, so it's really a battle for second place between the Tories and Lib Dems.

Meet a Member – Brian DiDiano
August 11, 2019
Written by: Triangle CREW
Brian Ross DiDiano
Barringer Construction
Raleigh Market Leader
What is your TCREW Story? (i.e. When did you join TCREW and in what ways have you been active--committees, chair positions, etc)
I joined TCREW in November of 2017 but started the process about 3 months prior with my applications, etc. I was active in the Programs committee for 2018 and somewhat active in 2019. Those are the facts but not my TCREW story.
I have attended TCREW events since 2011 and always admired the people in the room – these leaders impact the Triangle. In complete transparency this caused me to be somewhat jealous of this amazing group as I thought it was exclusive. I found out in 2017 that men, are in fact, encouraged to join the organization – I jumped at the opportunity! Since I have been involved, I have been welcomed with open arms!
What is your most
significant TCREW connection?
How has your TCREW membership been impactful in your own personal growth and development?
Kellie Ford was the connection that introduced me to the idea of joining TCREW so that is definitely a significant TCREW connection for me. The more I learn about TCREW, the more I realize that the connections made, and the relationships built through TCREW are what matters most. I know these relationships made will impact me personally and professionally throughout my career.
How do you see TCREW impacting the Triangle?
I have seen firsthand how TCREW has propelled women's careers in the Triangle. This organization is an incubator in my opinion that can take in a woman early in her career and after some time with TCREW, place a strong, powerful, and educated woman into the workforce.
How can we, as women in the commercial real estate industry, best make an impact in mentoring the next generation of women in CRE?
Continue having leaders of the TCREW organization who know the value, and push for the mentoring of the next generation of women in CRE.
What is one goal you would like to achieve through TCREW?
To remain a member of TCREW for the remainder of my career.
What is the best leadership advice you have been given or can give to others?
Two major points here:
First, always believe in helping others is an important value in leadership. You are remembered for not what you have done, but for whom you have helped along the way - to become better than who you are.
Second, always strive to be a servant leader and use Jesus as an example on how to lead. I believe we all should strive to be a fully committed and effective servant leader like Jesus.

Snack Healthy: Mini-Meal Chart
The days of three square meals may be a thing of the past. Busy daily schedules, limited time for cooking and the ever increasing popularity of smoothies, juices, protein bars, power bowls and the like are packing many nutrients into quick, on-the-go options. Bigger than snacks, these "mini meals" nourish us throughout the day and have the potential to work together to satisfy our nutrient needs.
School Nutrition Standards: Where are We Now?
On July 1, 2012, schools and programs that utilize the National School Lunch program began the process of adopting the changes required under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act (HHFKA). Though challenging to implement, the strong need for better nutrition for the over 30 million children who rely on the National School Lunch program and the opportunity for greater reimbursement per meal (an extra 6 cents), encouraged schools to comply. The transformation to come was so monumental and innovative for a program that hadn't seen change in fifteen years, that Guiding Stars devoted a webinar on the topic. Now, two years later, we can see how the changes are being implemented and where we are on our journey toward feeding the next generation.
Top 10 Healthy Recipe Swaps
Making Banana Pancakes
I love pancakes. They're such a cozy way to start the weekend, and having extras on hand to heat in the toaster makes the work week easier to manage. The problem is that I prefer pancakes covered in butter and syrup, which is not the most nutritious way to start the day, especially given that pancakes are typically not what you could call nutritionally dense to begin with.
I've been learning a lot about improving the nutrition of my favorite recipes while working with Guiding Stars, so I decided to try modifying the buttermilk pancake recipe in my favorite cookbook. The result was completely delicious (without syrup!) and earns 3 Guiding Stars…this is the process I used to get there:
Beautiful Pomegranate
November is Pomegranate Month! If you've never tried pomegranate before, the fruit can look a bit intimidating. Don't let the newness scare you off, though. Beyond being rich in antioxidants, pomegranates are a wonderful source of vitamin K, which is beneficial for healthy clotting, preventing calcification of your arteries and improving bone loss. They're also a strong source of vitamin C, folate, potassium and dietary fiber, offering a multitude of other important nutrients into the bargain.
Cooking By the Seat of Your Pants
Working with Guiding Stars has had some definite impacts on the way I eat and cook. It's impossible to spend several hours a week reading and writing about nutrition and healthier cooking without picking up some better habits. But all intentions of healthy meal planning aside, life happens, and more weeks than not, I find myself hitting the end of the week with weird bits of odds and ends in the fridge and no carefully considered meals at hand. My first instinct used to be to order out or make ramen, ignoring the weird odds and ends until I had no option but to toss them out. In the past few years, however, I've developed a routine for making a cheaper, healthier meal out of whatever is not yet crawling around in the back of my fridge.

AudioLabel Cover Maker helps you design and print labels for CD, DVD, Blu-ray, and LightScribe discs and cases. It's easy to use and includes powerful features to help you create professional labels. You can add images, photos, backgrounds with a simple drag and drop. Layout and arrange text quickly using the smart text editor. Automatically import your CD information and fill out the label in one step. Download the AudioLabel Trial Version and test drive the software free for 15 days.
Automatically Finds CD Album Information
AudioLabel CD Label Maker can recognize most CD's and fill out the label with one click. The Read CD feature finds album information (artist, title, and track list) by searching the Freedb internet database, or by reading CD-TEXT from the disc. The Freedb database is enormous and contains the album information for most store bought CDs. After the information is found, the text is automatically arranged on the disc label, front cover, and back cover. The Read CD feature can also read and label MP3 CDs using the ID3 tag and filename.
Use Any Brand of Label Paper
AudioLabel includes templates for most brands of label paper including Avery, CD Stomper, Data Becker, Memorex, Neato, PressIt, Staples, SureThing, and TDK. Regardless of your brand, the templates in AudioLabel are adjustable so even non-standard label paper can be used. The Edit Dimensions dialog (shown on the left) can be used to adjust the dimensions of an existing template, or create a new custom template.
Direct Disc Printing
AudioLabel works with any direct disc printer including Epson, Canon, and Hewlett Packard (HP). These printers can print directly on the surface of the disc without using label paper or sticker labels. Direct disc printers use special inkjet printable discs that have a white matte coating on the surface. Although inkjet printable discs may cost slightly more than traditional discs, printing directly on the disc has a major cost advantage since you don't have buy sticker labels separately. Other advantages include a faster one-step printing process that creates a thinner label that won't peal or wrinkle over time.
Full Image Support
Easily add images, photos, or backgrounds using the smart thumbnail viewer. The viewer supports many image formats and incorporates a simple drag and drop interface. Quickly explore images in any folder or use the search function to scan your computer for existing images. AudioLabel CD Label Software also includes a cool art gallery that will get you started right away. Aside from printing your label design, there are options to save your label as a high resolution image to share with friends, import into other programs, or give to commercial printers for high volume production.
LightScribe Disc Labeling
Creating LightScribe discs is a breeze using the built in LightScribe template. AudioLabel works seamlessly with any LightScribe enabled drive and it only takes a few clicks to have your design transferred on to a LightScribe disc. With LightScribe technology, the laser inside a LightScribe drive that burns a CD or DVD is also used to laser-etch a high quality design on the back of the disc. There is no printer involved, so you get ink-free labels that will not smudge, wear off, or peal.
Release Notes:
- New: Curved/Circular Text for all CD, DVD, and Blu-ray disc labels. The curved text can face in or out from the disc center.

The sun will eventually become a red giant;
it may or may not envelop the Earth - if it does,
the Earth will be vaporized. Long before it
does, however, the heat from the luminous sun will
cook the planet until it is sterile, eventually
melting it. This will happen in about four
billion years!
Long before that, however, the sun will become
bright enough that while it does not melt the
planet, it will cause climatic effects that
will make life impossible. We do not know how
the climate will respond to such increased solar
input, so we do not know how much the climate
can take before the sun cooks us.
Our climatological models aren't that good.
Most climatologists seem to think that it will
be a few billion years.
The question of when the world will end is one
that can be answered on many levels. Since I am a
geologist, I am going to interpret your question
to mean, "When will the actual planet Earth
cease to be a planet?"
There are two major methods by which our
planet can be destroyed;
Evolution of the sun into a red giant star
or impact with a giant extra-terrestrial body.
The sun is a star that is in the middle of its
life. In about 6 billion years the sun will have
exhausted its hydrogen in its core and will
cease to create helium by fusion. This will
cause the sun to cool enough that it will collapse
under its own gravity. As the sun collapses, the
atoms inside of the sun will be pulled closer
together and will collide with each other more
frequently, creating more heat and raising the
temperature once again. Eventually it will
become hot enough to fuse heavier elements
together. Fusion of heavier
elements will release enough energy that the sun
will become a red giant. When the sun
becomes a red giant its radius can expand to be
~100 times larger than it currently is. This
will engulf Earth with temperatures much higher
than the melting point of the rocks Earth is made
of destroying the planet.
Early in Earth's history
(about 4.5 billion years ago), a smaller (~70%
the current mass) Earth was struck by a Mars-sized
impactor (bolide). The impactor struck the
earth at an angle and delivered enough energy that
it melted the planet and itself actually
vaporizing some of the rocks that make up the
crust. The energy from the angled impact spun
some of the amalgamated body off the earth which
collected, coalesced, and cooled to form the
Earth's moon. An impact of this size would
definitely rework the
planet effectively ending this earth.
I would not worry about either of these
The probability of a giant impact is
incredibly low and 6 billion years is a really
long-time. There are plenty of other ways that
human presence on this planet can end like
global warming and other environmental
catastrophes, but the planet will persevere.
In about 5 billion years, when the Sun becomes a
red giant, and gets as big as the orbit of Mars!

SoFi is seeing more restaurant real estate activity this week, Last week, we reported that Philippe is moving into the Taverna Opa space, located at 36-40 Ocean Drive, and that the restaurant spaces of the former Nemo's and Sushi Shoji are up for lease.
This week, we hear the Athens-based upscale Greek fishery, Milos Estiatorio is moving to 81 Washington Ave, at the former Au Pied de Cochon space. The restaurant's expected open date is October 2011, according to a search on the restaurant's website.
Milos currently has restaurants in Montreal and New York, where the powerful and rich make deals over fresh seafood instead of steak. The restaurant also owns a 56-foot motor yacht, available for charter in the Greek islands.
The New York restaurant, especially, has a large celebrity clientele, party due to its location directly across the street from CBS headquarters and a block from Carnegie Hall. Regulars include Woody Allen and David Letterman. An episode of Sex and the City was even filmed at the famous restaurant.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to Miami New Times's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Miami's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
The restaurant's heart is a large display of colorful fish on ice in the room's center. Just about every fish in bold tropical hues lies on its cold display, waiting for guests to choose the catch of their liking, as staff stand by to identify and extoll the virtues of each sea creature. These specimens are so fresh, it looks as though they're about to jump back into the water and swim away.
Milos should do very well in Miami Beach. The company's philosophy is to use the highest end products sourced locally whenever possible (with exotic fish flown in daily from the Mediterranean). With the waters of Miami and the Keys at their doorstep, we look forward to their take on our local fresh seafood bounty.
On the other end of the Greek restaurant spectrum, Taverna Opa is usually not known for low-key power dining -- unless you think smashing your plates on the floor as you pound ouzo is low key. The South Beach outlet of the restaurant is set to close on August 1 and re-open at Mary Brickell Village. According to the property management office, Taverna Opa will occupy two spaces on the second floor of the village, although the exact opening date is not set.

Case study
Rani initially gained an insight into KPMG through our undergraduate programmes when she was an Economics student at the University of Birmingham and found she enjoyed the culture of the firm.
"In the first year of my degree, I attended the KPMG Insight Programme. I especially liked how people-centred the firm is. It was through that programme that I was offered an internship which I also really enjoyed. That led me onto the graduate scheme.
I like having different tasks and trying things that are completely new to me. I'm working in Transaction Services, which is focused on the early stages of a deal. A typical example of our work is when a client asks us to help them sell their company, we'll look into the accounts, do due diligence and produce a report to give to the buyers.
Our partners often ask you to research a company. That involves searching across everything from news to relevant mergers – to then share back with them. I find it really interesting. It's great to have that kind of responsibility and partners are genuinely interested in what you think.

This article was published in Cancer Immunity, a Cancer Research Institute journal that ceased publication in 2013 and is now provided online in association with Cancer Immunology Research.
It is my great pleasure to greet you on the occasion of this tenth year since the initiation of the Cancer Research Institute (CRI) International Immunotherapy Symposium series. Each year we celebrate advances in the two main objectives of the field of tumor immunology - the development of effective cancer vaccines and the development of antibody-based cancer therapies. This year we have three reasons to celebrate. The first is the formation of a partnership between the CRI and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR), focusing the joint strengths of these two great institutions on developing effective cancer immunotherapies. The initial manifestation of this partnership is the creation of the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative (CVC), a consortium of basic researchers and clinical investigators at six New York institutions carrying out early phase clinical trials aimed at establishing principles of effective immunization with cancer antigens. The inauguration of the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative represents the second development that we are celebrating at this meeting.
The underlying motivation for forming the CRI/LICR partnership and establishing the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative comes of course from the remarkable developments that have punctuated the recent history of cancer immunology. We have gathered here today the individuals responsible for many of these advances to celebrate the field of cancer immunology and its central role in contemporary cancer research. In the midst of this happy occasion, I have a sad note to add. Dr. Elisabeth Stockert, one of the preeminent cancer serologists of our time and a close colleague and dear friend of many of us here today, died last week of a disease she studied all her life. We will miss her greatly and plan to gather at a future date to celebrate her life and work.
Over the next two days, we will be focusing our discussions on the four areas of central relevance to understanding how to construct effective cancer vaccines:
Cancer immunosurveillance / immunoediting. The growing evidence that the emergence of cancer is recognized and restrained by immunological forces has led to the renaissance of the cancer immunosurveillance hypothesis.
Cancer antigen discovery: The cancer immunome. Several speakers will be providing an overview of the current categories of human cancer antigens that have been identified and the prospects for defining the human cancer immunome, the complete repertoire of human cancer gene products that elicit an immune response in humans.
Monitoring immune reactions to cancer. With the rapidly expanding list of human cancer antigens, the pressing need is to characterize the nature of the immune response to these antigens and to develop ways to monitor the humoral and cellular elements in this response during tumor growth and after therapeutic interventions.
Developing cancer vaccines. In pursuing the goal of developing cancer vaccines, we first need to know how to induce consistent, strong, and persistent integrated immune responses in humans and, in this regard, we are still woefully ignorant. This is essential before we can sensibly ask whether our cancer vaccines have therapeutic value in humans.
In my opinion, the re-emergence of cancer immunosurveillance as the unifying concept in cancer immunology represents an advance of unparalleled importance (Figure 1). Although the linkage between cancer and immunity remained firmly if vaguely fixed in the general public, the idea that immunity protects against the emergence of cancer as proposed by Ehrlich, Thomas and Burnett was essentially discredited and abandoned by the cancer establishment, primarily because of Osias Stutman's studies in the 1970s in nude mice. In fact, this lack of evidence for cancer immunosurveillance represented a deep embarrassment to the field of cancer immunology for the past thirty years. To me, Stutman's evidence was never convincing, primarily because nude mice were not immunologically null, and as I often jested, if I had to be an immunocompromised animal I wouldn't have minded being a nude mouse. What seemed more important than trying to prove or disprove cancer immunosurveillance with inadequate models at the time was to see if the generality of cancer displayed antigens that could be recognized by the immune system. To me, immune recognition of cancer rather than immune protection against cancer was the central and first issue that had to be addressed. If there was no recognition, there could clearly be no protection, but one could imagine all sorts of reasons why recognition failed to result in protection.
The development of mouse models with defined defects in essential immune functions has now provided us with convincing evidence for the existence of cancer immunosurveillance, an advance that justifies in my opinion a year-long celebration and dancing in the streets. Thank you Bob Schreiber, thank you Mark Smith and all your colleagues for establishing this critical landmark in cancer immunology.
Cancer antigen discovery, the second topic of our meeting, also has a long and fascinating history. Once again, it was mouse models, in this case inbred mice, that provided the first convincing evidence starting in the 1950s for the existence of tumor-specific antigens in chemically-induced sarcomas and subsequently in virus-induced and even spontaneous tumors. However, demonstrating that such antigens exist in human cancer was a much tougher nut to crack because the transplantation techniques used in the mouse were not possible in humans.
Beginning in 1970, my colleagues and I began a long search for human tumor antigens using an approach that came to be known as autologous typing (Figure 2) and it was this approach that eventually led to the molecular definition of the first human tumor antigens recognized by human CD8 T cells by Thierry Boon and his colleagues and for the dissection of specific humoral immunity to cancer by Michael Pfreundschuh and his colleagues. At the time that autologous typing was developed, and remember this was before MHC restriction was recognized, efforts to identify immune reactions to human tumor antigens depended on allogeneic systems, that is sera or lymphocytes from one patient tested on a limited number of established tumor lines from other patients, and much of what was reported as tumor-specific was undoubtedly alloreactivity. To develop as unambiguous a system as possible, we restricted our tests to autologous reactions with cultured tumor cell lines, lymphocytes and sera from the same patient, and for specificity analysis, normal cells, typically fibroblasts, from the same patient. In a sense, we were creating in humans a counterpart to an inbred mouse system. In our original studies, melanoma, kidney cancer, and astrocytoma were the targets because these were the tumor types that could be established in tissue culture with any degree of regularity. Humoral rather than cellular immune reactions were analyzed because techniques for testing antibodies to cell surface antigens were far more advanced at the time than analyzing cellular immune responses. What became clear from our analysis of a large series of patients was that a very small subset of patients mounted a vigorous immune response with specificity for autologous tumor cells, and several antigenic systems, including gangliosides and the melanocyte differentiation antigen gp75, were identified as tumor targets. Most of the antigens, however, remained beyond our means to identify molecularly. The second phase in the saga of autologous typing came when Alex Knuth joined our group and began to analyze CD8 T cell reactivity to melanoma. He established the first CD8 T cell-defined autologous system in human cancer (in this case the SK-MEL-29 melanoma system), and when he returned to Germany he continued the search for the rare patient with strong specific CD8 T cell reactivity, eventually identifying patient MZ. Because I was well aware of Thierry Boon's outstanding work on the development of molecular techniques for the cloning of mouse tumor antigens, I suggested Alex and Thierry meet and the rest is history. From these two cell lines, SK-MEL-29 and MZ-MEL-2, and the corresponding reactive autologous CD8 T cells came the identification of MAGE, BAGE, GAGE, Melan-A and tyrosinase. Michael Pfreundschuh and his colleagues took the third next major step in the development of autologous typing by developing SEREX (serological analysis of recombinant cDNA expression libraries). Michael worked with me during the early days of autologous typing and recognized the three limitations of the approach: (i) It was limited to the detection of cell surface antigens, (ii) it was restricted to tumors that could be grown in vitro, and (iii) it left us ignorant about the molecular structure of most antigens being detected. In combining serological approaches with expression cloning, Michael Pfreundschuh and his colleagues created the SEREX methodology, and as you will hear at this meeting, this approach has revolutionized the identification of serologically recognized tumor antigens, just as the work of Dr. Knuth and Dr. Boon revolutionized the identification of CD8 T cell recognized targets. So, thank you Dr. Pfreundschuh, thank you Dr. Boon and thank you Dr. Knuth and all your colleagues for establishing the modern era of human tumor antigen discovery.
With the methodologies now well in place for the molecular identification of human tumor antigens recognized by human CD8 T cells, antibodies, and, as Rongfu Wang will tell us, CD4 cells as well, we are entering a phase in tumor immunology where we can expect to have a catalogue of the complete range of immunogenic human tumor antigens, something I have called the "cancer immunome". Victor Jongeneel of the LICR is well along in creating a database that compiles existing information about the cancer immunome that is available to the cancer immunology community.
Now, where do we stand with the existing cancer immunome? Five categories of human tumor antigens have been identified (Table 1), with melanocyte differentiation antigens such as Melan-A, tyrosinase, and gp100, cancer-testis antigens such as MAGE 1 and 3, and NY-ESO-1, and over-expressed antigens such as HER2 and p53 being a few well-known examples of a very large and rapidly expanding list. Our speakers today will be giving us a look at the current status of the cancer immunome.
Now, the specificity of some tumor antigens is quite exquisite. Figure 3 shows the expression of the melanocyte differentiation antigen tyrosinase in normal melanocytes in skin - so as a vaccine target for melanoma, antigen expression in normal tissues is remarkably restricted. Figure 4 shows the expression of the CT antigen, MAGE-1, in spermatogonia in testes - a breathtakingly beautiful picture for an old tumor immunologist.
I must confess enormous affection for the CT category of antigens (Figure 5). The large number of antigens with cancer-testis characteristics (over 15 CT antigens have now been identified), their extraordinary specificity pattern with restricted expression to germ cells and cancer, and the strong spontaneous immunity elicited in a subset of patients by the CT antigen NY-ESO-1, make CT antigens of great interest in tumor biology and tumor immunology.
It is often forgotten that most of our knowledge about the expression patterns of tumor antigens is based on mRNA, even though we assume the presence of message correlates with protein expression, an assumption that needs to be validated for each antigen in normal tissues and tumors. In developing cancer vaccines, every effort should be made to know the protein expression pattern of the target antigen in the tumor of patients enrolled in trials, so that this parameter can be correlated with the eventual outcome. Achim Jungbluth has been one of the leaders in this area of immunohistochemical typing of tumor antigens and will be telling us about the current status of his field.
Given the embarrassment of riches with regard to the growing cancer immunome, a very welcome challenge has emerged - which antigens do we focus on to (1) characterize the nature of the immunological responses they elicit and (2) to use as targets for cancer vaccine development. In the Ludwig Institute, Melan-A, MAGE and NY-ESO-1 have been selected as prototypic human tumor antigens for detailed laboratory and clinical study, and you will be hearing a great deal about these antigens at this meeting.
It is a generally held credo in the field that the three basic elements in the development of effective cancer vaccines are:
The identification of well-defined antigen targets,
The establishment of standardized monitoring methodologies for measuring humoral and cellular immune responses to the vaccines, and
The construction of maximally immunogenic vectors to deliver cancer antigens.
Monitoring methodologies have undergone considerable improvement over the past few years, in terms of reliability, specificity and sensitivity, but there is still much work to be done. For measuring CD8 T cell responses, we have Jean-Charles Cerottini to thank for his life-long dedication to the understanding of this cell's role in the immunological philharmonics. The introduction of tetramers has been a wonderful addition to the immunologist's toolbox, and we thank Mark Davis for this gift. The list of typing and monitoring elements is large and getting larger. Because of the strong humoral and cellular immune response induced by the CT antigen NY-ESO-1, this antigen has become a prototype for developing standardized methodologies for monitoring and as a target for vaccine development. Table 2 lists the various elements involved in NY-ESO-1 typing and monitoring: RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry to determine antigen expression in the tumor, ELISA and Western blots to determine antibody responses, tetramer, ELISPOT, and cytotoxicity assays to determine CD8 T cell responses, and skin tests with NY-ESO-1 peptides or proteins to determine delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH). As to assays under development, standardized CD4 monitoring is lacking in our current NY-ESO-1 monitoring, but should be a reality in the near future. Also essential, but still challenging, are assessing the expression of MHC, MHC allotypes, and MHC/peptide complexes at the level of the tumor cell. Another dimension in monitoring that needs to be added has to do with characterizing the nature and specificity of the immunocellular infiltrates in tumors before and after vaccination, what we are calling in situ immunology, and considerable progress is being made in this direction.
I spoke earlier about our embarrassment of riches with regard to cancer antigens. The same challenge confronts us with regard to choosing the most effective way to vaccinate against NY-ESO-1.
To guide us in this effort, we have come up with two maxims that embody our deeply held convictions about how to proceed and the importance of typing and monitoring in developing successful cancer vaccines. The first of these maxims is "If you don't know how to immunize, you won't know how to vaccinate". And the second is "If you don't know how to monitor, you won't know how to immunize".
In other words, you need to know how to monitor if you hope to know how to immunize most effectively, and you must know how to immunize effectively if you hope to develop a successful therapeutic vaccine.
Figure 6 lists the NY-ESO-1 vaccines and vaccine strategies that are currently available, and each day seems to add new ones. Daunting, isn't it? No one knows which strategy will be most effective and all of them need to be tested. Of central importance, immunological monitoring of individual trials needs to be carried out by standardized methodology, so that valid comparisons of the results of each vaccine can be made. No one group can do this for even one antigen, and companies usually limit themselves to single approaches based on their proprietary technologies. It was this dilemma that led to the formation of the CRI/LICR partnership and the development of the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative.
The objectives of the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative can be characterized in the following way. The trials will be academic, coordinated, and take place at six institutions in New York. Initial focus will be placed on NY-ESO-1 as the vaccine target. Rather than a series of sequential trials testing one variable after the other, the trials will take place in parallel testing single variables such as peptide, protein, viral vectors, and cDNA, simultaneously at multiple sites. Finally, all trials will be monitored in the same way, with standardized monitoring methodology and standardized reporting.
The current participants in the CVC are:
Nasser Altorki at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University
Kyri Papadopoulos and Charles Hesdorffer at the Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center
Anna Ferrari at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine
Pam Sharma, Harry Herr, Dean Bajorin, Bob Maki, and Jakob Dupont at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Nina Bhardwaj and Steve Burakoff at the New York University Cancer Institute
Kunle Odunsi at the Roswell Park Cancer Institute
These clinical trials in New York will become an integral part of the Ludwig Institute clinical trials network (Figure 7), which is running trials in 10 countries around the world. This large-scale coordinated collaborative network, with an emphasis on early stage clinical trials and with the initial aim of constructing maximally immunogenic cancer vaccines, represents a new era in cancer therapeutics. It also provides a model for how the striking advance in all fields of cancer research can be a more effectively and efficiently translated into the clinical arena.
Thank you.
Now I have the pleasure of introducing Bob Schreiber, who will open the first session of our meeting.

On this March 16th, 2017, the president of the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BPTO), Mr. Luiz Otávio Pimentel, and the president of the Japan Patent Office (JPO), Mr. Yoshinori Komiya, have signed in São Paulo a Joint Declaration to formalize a project of Patent Prosecution Highway (PPH) between the two countries. This PPH has been studied by a work group since October of the last year and the agreement was signed yesterday, during the Seminar on Cooperation in Intellectual Property between Brazil and Japan.
By the PPH, Brazilians will be able to use the result of the examination of the BPTO over their patent applications in order to speed up the analysis in Japan, and vice versa. In this phase of the project (which starts on the first day of April of this year and will last for 2 years) there will be accepted, at maximum, 200 patent applications for the PPH between the two countries.
For this project, the BPTO will accept only patent applications related to Information Technology – a fast paced field that demands quick analysis. In its turn, Japan will accept patent applications for any field.
The IPC classifications included in the program will be disclosed soon, with the resolution that will be issued by the BPTO and will regulate the PPH project in Brazil.

Restaurants near Simmons Sports Arena
11 restaurants available nearby
Food was excellent, love to try new things! Wine list could be better, though. We'll be back!
Our waitress was so sweet. The food was excellent. Went with my 2 kids who loved everything. Thank you for a lovely evening
For a generic hotel restaurant, Waters Edge is a good one. Very friendly, personable service offering useful advice. Small menu but something for everyone. Reasonable portion size.
Normally the food is five stars across the board. This visit might have been an off day; some items seemed overcooked (crusty scrambled eggs), others seemed to be using lower quality ingredients than normal (ketchupy sauce). One of my dishes had a huge chunk of what seemed like pie crust stuck to...
I have eaten there many times and order the same thing. It tool over 45 minutes for my well done steak to be ready. When you are on a time for lunch that is a long time. It has never taken that long before.
Really amazing food, drinks and service!! Here for a visit from the States and we enjoyed ourselves immensely!!
A very relaxing dinner on the deck. Our server was attentive and very helpful with suggestions. We had a wonderful time, meal and overall experience!
Our experience was great. Service was very efficient and very friendly. Lots of choices in the menu and our choices were delicious. View out over the water was beautiful. I would definitely recommend it and would definitely go back.
The menu is small but diverse and includes a vegetarian option. Wine selection was varied but not vast. We enjoyed our server's personality and she was very knowledgeable about the menu. The rhubarb sorbet was a perfect ending to our meal.
Food was great as always, and the kids love it too!

Well as ordered, I've returned to my "Dystopian Wars" Prussian naval fleet again this week, actually as I bought a support flotilla last weekend at Salute, to add to the naval battle group of Prussians I have already been working my way through over the last few weeks I thought I better try and get these finished (even if I am now pulling ahead of Myles in the painting stakes!). So for your delectation and delight this week I give you the "Elba" class fleet carrier and the "Konigsberg" class battle cruiser.
The Elba is a pretty impressive lump of resin (well three lumps to be exact) and measures 150mm long from bow to stern, with a lot of very nice detail modeled into it (some of which is hidden, but I'll get to that in a bit). First job was to sand the bottom of all the pieces nice and flat and clean away any stray bits of flash from the metal guns of the cruiser, I them attached the guns to the ship with a little greenstuff in the "plug holes" to make sure the joints were good and secure before supergluing them in place. The Elba I left in its three pieces to make it easier to paint. Then it was out to the garden for a coat of matt black, yes the weather is now good enough that I can spray outside (well the black I can, the matt varnish I still spray in the garage with the fan heater blowing across the figures, but don't tell my wife!!). Once dry they were touched up on any bits the spray hadn't covered and I also painted the bottoms of the Elba's flight deck and cross shaped bridging area black as these would be visible on the finished model.
Next I dry-brushed everything with chainmail (this also brings out any detail and makes it easier to see), before I undercoated all the decking areas with chocolate brown, and believe me there are a lot of decks on the carrier! These were then highlighted with leather brown and then I undercoated both of the hulls with dark grey, I also decided to do the sides of the flight deck in the same colours as the hull so this was undercoated too, I carefully painted around the "X" shaped metal bracing down the sides, though I don't know why, as next I added the light grey lines using my semi dry-brushing technique and tried to match these up with the ones on the flight deck (how successful this was I'll leave up to you), then repeated this process with the black lines, due to the way I do this it meant I had now covered up a lot of the bracing I had been so careful to paint round with the dark grey (bum!!), after this I added the "dots" in coffee and then carefully repainted in the bracing again in chainmail. Anyway after this debacle I painted in the planes, after a bit of a think I decided on deep bronze green with a cream line along the top and a couple of cream highlights on the wings (well I didn't want anything to complicated as I've got a fair few of these to paint). I even painted the plane coming up from the middle of the lower part of the ship (and the two decks either side of this) even though once it was all glued together you couldn't see them! (But I know they're there!!). That left the funnel tops and various highlights on both ships to be added in bronze and they were ready for their customary coat of Quickshade. Once this was good and dry they were treated to a final coat of matt varnish and they were all set for a bit of action upon the high seas. I suppose I'll have to paint up some more planes soon.
Once again I took the opportunity to Quickshade the rest of my 20mm World War Two German infantry, this now completes my WW2 stuff (apart from the rest of the Japanese Infantry that are still languishing in their draw waiting for their number to come up, of course!).But after nosing about in the loft the other weekend (I was supposed to be looking for something else, but I'm easily distracted you know!) I came across my old 25mm cowboys, so now these are in the Quickshade queue as well!
Oh well, till next week, Cheers Roger.

In one of the largest pre-licensure vaccine clinical trials ever conducted worldwide, research championed by an Eastern Virginia Medical School investigator demonstrated that the oral vaccine Rotateq virtually eliminated the most severe cases of rotavirus, a common childhood virus that sometimes becomes deadly.
"This is good news for children everywhere," said principal investigator David O. Matson, M.D., professor of pediatrics at Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) and head of infectious diseases at EVMS' Center for Pediatric Research. "In a matter of hours, vomiting and diarrhea from rotavirus can lead to dehydration, which can result in hospitalization and even be life-threatening."
Rotavirus causes about 70,000 hospital admissions in the United States annually, or about five percent of all pediatric admissions. It also results in 250,000 visits each year to U.S. emergency rooms.
In the developing world, where prompt hospitalization and effective treatment may not be available, rotavirus kills half a million infants a year, about one child each minute. Matson, widely regarded as one of the nation's leading rotavirus researchers, has studied the virus for over two decades.
"Development of a safe and effective rotavirus vaccine has been a worldwide priority since the virus was discovered in the 1970s," Matson said. "It became clear at that time that it was one of the major killers of children, and there was no effective treatment."
Rotavirus is endemic and infections occur in almost all children. The severity of rotavirus infection ranges from no symptoms to dehydrating gastroenteritis that can be fatal.

Once upon a midnight dreary...
Part 1: A Holiday History
In ancient times, a grand celebration was held to remember the coming of salvation into the world. A god had been born as a human baby, enfleshed in the very stuff of creation, and had brought with him hope, joy, and rebirth. Eventually, this holiday, marked on or near the start of winter, was celebrated with wonderful feasts, the exchanging of gifts, lovely music, and the lighting of candles.
The holiday, known originally as "Saturnalia", became better known as "Dies Natalis Solis Invicti", or "The Birthday of the Unconquered Sun God", and was one of the most anticipated days of the Roman year. Families would gather and celebrations would extend from the temples to the homes of kinfolk. It was, by all accounts, a wonderful day.
Years later, with the spreading of Christianity throughout Europe, people who had come to accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ were reluctant to abandon this lovely celebration. After all, family gatherings and giving gifts to children were good things, and surely the Church could affirm these practices. Indeed, the Church could have, should have, and did. Soon, the pagan celebration of the sun god was syncretized with the traditions of Matthew 1 and Luke 2 to create the holiday we now celebrate as, of course, Christmas. This blessed day, thoroughly Christian, has distinctly pagan roots.
Easter comes to us in similar fashion. The name of this, the most important day in the Church year, is derived from Eostre, an ancient sun goddess of the Anglo-Saxons whose rebirth was celebrated in spring, at roughly the same time as the Jewish Passover and the Resurrection of Jesus. The name itself is strikingly similar to related figures in other Indo-European mythological traditions, such as Astarte (Canaan), Eos (Greece), Ishtar (Babylon), and Ushas (India), and even the Hebrew Esther. Upon the Christianization of Britain, the Resurrection was commemorated each spring and quickly adopted many of the symbols associated with the pagan celebration, such as feasting, rabbits, and eggs. This holy day, thoroughly Christian, has distinctly pagan roots.
Among the last Europeans to be converted to Christianity were the Celts of Scotland and Ireland, who celebrated a holiday known as Samhuinn (Scotland) or Samhain (Ireland). Essentially a New Year's harvest festival, it was the time when the gathering was complete and the people were ready for winter. It was also a bit frightening, for it was the one night of the year when the veil between this world and the "otherworld" was lifted; ghosts, the undead, and all sorts of terrible creatures might roam free, bringing with them terror and potential disaster. To ward them off, people carved scary faces into turnips, hoping to scare the evening ghouls. As a form of protection, some folks dressed as creatures of the night (a practice known as "guising"); children were sometimes given sweets and treats to keep them calm.
Samhuinn/Samhain practices became associated with All Saints/All Souls celebrations, just as Christmas and Easter had adopted pagan concepts. In the 19th century, Scottish and Irish families began emigrating en masse to the United States, and they brought many of their traditions with them, which were soon Americanized and largely softened. By the mid-20th century, Halloween was a major American holiday, many of its pagan roots transformed into more "kid friendly" practices such as trick-or-treating or the carving of Jack O'Lantern pumpkins.
In upcoming posts, I plan to look at the reasons Christians should celebrate this great holiday we call Halloween. Issues of Biblical faith, racism, and incarnational ministry will be on my agenda. This post establishes some of the historic background I'll be working from. Much of this information comes from research for sermons, teaching opportunities, or presentations past. I love Halloween, and hope you do as well.

Hallowe'en is not a holiday of any kind in europe (UK; Germany, France or Finland where I live) so I'd be really interested as to why it became so big in the USA and why (other than for commercialism) it's being exported over to europe. I don't think it's got more than a tenuous link to Christianity and has only pagan roots.
Halloween has become very commerical, but when I was a kid it was a huge deal and almost no one bought costumes. There were not stores full of Halloween decorations.
I think commercialization is a late comer to the Halloween party. As are all the pesky adults trying to turn it into some sort of sex and booze event.
It may have pagan roots, but when I was a kid it was the one night a pack of my friends and I were allowed to go roaming around the streets at night. And we got candy in the bargain. What was not to love?

I agree with John. I think that the best aspect of ancient paganism is its earthy, elemental, childlike response to the wonders of nature and human life...kind of like the Elves and the Hobbits in "Lord of the Rings." What I remember (and enjoyed) about Halloween as a child is running around in the cool autumn air with my neighborhood buddies, lighting bonfires and staying up all night, and celebrating.
To me, it's the commercialism (and not the paganism) that the church should resist in holidays like halloween.

You continue to bless me with education...thanx

so Keith, is it fair to summarize the thesis of your argument like this:
"Christmas has pagan roots, and Christians celebrate it..
Easter has pagan roots, and Christians celebrate it..
Therefore, holloween has pagan roots and so Christians should have no problems celebrating it either."
Please clarify any misconception or unintended distortion of your thesis for me. I want to be sure to read the coming blogs with the right framework. Thanks.
- Keith H. McIlwain said...
Joe - Sort of. Christmas and Easter both have pagan roots, but were claimed by the Church and transformed into Christian celebrations. I plan to post reasons why we should do the same for Halloween, and address some reasons why some have been reluctant to do so.

Hey Keith.
Speaking of Halloween...
Did you hear what happened to the guy who couldn't keep up payments to his exorcist?
He was repossessed.
But seriously...
This is pretty much a non-issue for me. I'm far more concerned about the Santa-fication of Christmas than I am about what I perceive to be a cathartic highlighting of the macabre.
Nevertheless, I appreciate your willingness to share with us your passion and conviction on the matter.
I leave you with one final profundity:
I read recently about a mummy who is very interested in the music industry.
He wants to become a wrap artist.
I must go now. Rod Steiger is coming over to bless our house (too many flies in this place).
By the way, have you checked the children?
- Unknown said...
thanks Keith, i look forward to the rest of your blogs.

I'm looking forward to further posts in this series.

Why we should celebrate Halloween? So daddy can get candy!

Lime level books include a widening range of writing styles and an increased variation in sentence structure, including –ing clauses and longer sentences with more than two clauses. Children reading at Lime level are able to interpret more sophisticated word plays and puns. The narrator's voice in a fiction story may be distinguished from the characters' voice through figurative, idiomatic and literary language. The story is often told through dialogue and action to 'show' instead of 'tell' as the plot develops.
How to support your child reading Lime level books
Although your child is now taking off as a reader, it is still important that you read with them and talk to them about their reading. This reassures them that their reading is still important to you, as well as giving you an opportunity to share an enjoyment of books. You can still help them by:
