Papers: - as it was announced earlier, the PRL paper - "Observation of isovector dibaryon resonance-like states with a mass of 2.2 GeV/c^2" - prepared by the EDITORIAL team (V. Komarov et al.) has been reviewed by three referees. On this basis, editor judge that while the work warrants publication is some form, it does not meet the Physical Review Letters criteria. It was recommended to be published rather in PRC. Following this recommendation, the updated and extended version of PRC manuscript: "Evidence for excitation of two resonance states in the isovector two-baryon system with a mass of 2.2 GeV/c^2", has been prepared by Editorial team and now is available from ANKE home page. --> Please have a look at the paper, and give comments and suggestions for possible changes to improve it even further. --> Deadline for replies regarding the above paper is 28-th of December 2015. --> Please, send your comments etc., to the editorial team and me. - the PLB letter (D. Mchedlishvili et al.) - "Measurement of the absolute differential cross section of proton-proton elastic scattering at small angles"- has been reviewed by two referees and got recommendation for publication with suggestions for a minor revision. The modified version has been resubmitted. - the PRC paper(Yu. Kiselev et al.,) - "Kaon pair production in proton-nucleus collisions" - has been published in Phys. Rev. C 92, 065201 (2015). Congratulations ! 2. DPG meeting 2016: let me remind you that during March 14-18 the annual DPG Spring meeting will take place in Darsmtadt, where from the ANKE collaboration several talks will be presented (the program will be available from DPG web site early next year). 3. Annual report 2015: we will start (during January/February) to collect the individual "one page" contributions for IKP/ANKE annual report (on-line version). Suggestions are welcome (tentative deadline is March 1)! Finally, we look forward to seeing you in 2016 and wish you and your families a merry and peaceful Christmas and health and happiness in the upcoming New Year ! Hans Stroeher and Andro Kacharava
