And for those in the AEST time zone, would those time be 6:00 AM (Perth Time) to 8:00 AM (Brisbane Time)?

If so then I would definitely be attending that...

Prizes!

Completing either a full row, column, X, cross or black-out as illustrated above, will win you the corresponding prize. Once you win a prize, you may not NOT compete for another prize. For example, if you are one of the first two people to complete row 2, you will win the corresponding prize (as two of the same prize are available). You may NOT compete for any other prizes after winning a prize.

The event hosts will announce when a BINGO is called and a prize is claimed, so that you know whether to change priorities and start working on another row, column or prize, based on whether or not all available prizes for your particular goal have been claimed. For example, if you choose to pursue a black-out, but someone beats you to completing that black-out, you will need to re-focus your efforts on completing a row, column, X or cross, before someone else. You may at any time decide to discontinue playing, and can see an event host for a consolation prize!

Pick which prize you want most, and strategize accordingly!

1: GROUNT TRAIT: Disassembler (3 available)

SWVG Feedback Survey

September 07 2013
If you haven't noticed, there's now a link in the bottom right section of every page on the site linking to the feedback survey. We've added a survey to help better understand the wants and needs of our members. You might be asking why we don't just ask in guild chat. The survey gives us a chance to look at certain parts of the game and guild that we've noticed needs attention. Not all members like to be open about some of the questions and would rather answer anonymously. It also gives the guild Commanders and leadership a chance to have solid information to go off of when making decisions affecting the guild.

The survey will change periodically as the guild changes and grows. Every member of the guild is invited to take the survey and can repeat the survey whenever there's an update. Answers that we receive will not necessarily decide whether we do something or not, but they do help and guide us with our decisions. We really appreciate the time you've put aside to take the survey and want to let you know that the answers we've received have already helped us tremendously.

Wow seriously awesome! It would be wonderful to see something come to fruition sooner rather than later in life. I would also hope to see this made readily available without what is likely to be a MASSIVE fee to the patient and/or insurance providers..

Wow, very promising news!

First HIV Vaccine approved for Human Testing

September 06 2013
A vaccine for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has proved successful in a Phase 1 clinical trial with no adverse effects in human patients, Sumagen Canada Inc. and Western University of Ontario announced today. The vaccine, which was developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and his team, is the first genetically modified, whole-killed vaccine to be approved for testing in humans.

“We are now prepared to take the next steps towards Phase 2 and Phase 3 clinical trials,” stated Jung-Gee Cho, the CEO of Sumagen Co. Ltd., in a press release. “We are opening the gate to pharmaceutical companies, government, and charity organization for collaboration to be one step closer to the first commercialized HIV vaccine."
Human Testing

The clinical trial, which evaluated safety, tolerability, and immune responses, was initiated in March 2012 and completed in August 2013. The study of the vaccine, known as SAV001-H, followed intramuscular administration in HIV-infected, asymptomatic men and women, 18 to 50 years of age. The trial studied the vaccine’s effects on volunteers as compared to a placebo group.

After receiving the vaccination, volunteers visited test sites on weeks four, six, 12, 18, 26, and 52 for a general physical examination as well as analysis of clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis. Researchers observed no serious adverse events and also found a surprising boost in antibody production, which may forecast success in Phase 2 trials measuring immune response.

The antibody against p24 capsid antigen increased as much as 64-fold in some vaccinees while the antibody against gp120 surface antigen increased up to eight-fold. P24 is a structural protein that makes up most of the HIV viral core also known as the ‘capsid.’ High levels of p24 are present in the blood serum of newly infected individuals during the short period between infection and seroconversion, making p24 antigen assays useful in diagnosing primary HIV infection. A glycoprotein, gp120, is necessary for attachment to cell surface receptors and also allows for the HIV virus to enter cells.

The increased antibody titers were maintained during the 52-week study period.
Production

SAV001-H, which was produced at a manufacturing facility in the U.S., is the only HIV vaccine developed in Canada and one of only a few in the world. Sumagen anticipates having the first HIV vaccine approved for market. HIV currently affects more than 34 million people who live with the virus worldwide, according to the World Health Organization. Over the past three decades, HIV has claimed more than 25 million lives.

Since the virus was characterized in 1983, pharmaceutical companies and academic institutions around the world have attempted, yet consistently failed, to develop a vaccine. What is unique about Kang’s vaccine is its use of a killed-whole HIV-1, which is similar to the vaccines developed for polio, influenza, and rabies. HIV-1 is also genetically engineered; this raises its safety profile and the possibility of it being produced in large quantities.

Sumagen is a member of Curo Group, a Seoul-based company with subsidiaries or affiliates in financial services, information technology, and other business areas. Sumagen has secured patents for the SAV001 vaccine in more than 70 countries, including the U.S., the European Union, China, India, and South Korea.

Development of Sumagen’s HIV vaccine has been supported by the government of Canada as well as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
