It seems that Lexus aims to boost its sales and the only solution would be to introduce new models. Due to the fact that consumers need smaller models, a perfect addition would be a small crossover, based on the popular CT 200h. The idea is not new to us, as back in July we reported that Toyota is planning to launch six new hybrids and one of them would be a new Lexus, dubbed CX 300h, which will hit the showrooms by the end of 2012.
The new crossover will look like a smaller RX and will take on cars such as the Audi Q3, Bmw X1 or the Infiniti EX. Few sources confirmed the fact that the new car will use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine featuring the Hybrid Synergy Drive system used in the Camry Hybrid and the unsuccessful HS 250h dedicated hybrid sedan.
According to German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, the small crossover will be designed for the European market, but this doesn't mean that it won't be offered in the United States. A smaller hybrid crossover would be the perfect addition to Lexus' lineup as the RX line made up 45 percent of firm's US sales so far this year.
The five-door car Lexus CT 200h full hybrid hatchback, with all its elements, essentially brings the carmaker's quality, technology and sophistication to the premium compact segment, aiming to attract a younger group of customers.
Lexus designed and developed the new Lexus CT 200h, considering the European market. In particular, Lexus made sure that the size, full hybrid technology, ultra-low emissions and packaging of Lexus CT 200h suit the needs and wants of its young customers who are not only discerning but also eco-conscious without compromising the luxury, refinement and driving enjoyment typical of Lexus vehicles.
As a matter of fact, the new CT 200h full hybrid hatchback is an excellent fusion of five key Lexus attributes that provide unparalleled driving experience. These attributes include: 1) Lexus Hybrid Drive and its tailored Energy Management System; 2) a distinct driving character; 3) dynamic yet elegant styling that follows the brand's L-finesse design philosophy; 4) the carmaker's unmatched manufacturing quality; and the Lexus's renowned customer service that optimizes the Lexus ownership experience.
The carmaker made sure that the Lexus Hybrid Drive system in the CT 200h was developed while following an array of unique development standards that include over 500 items, all which set stringent guidelines for making sure the full hybrid performs dynamically without further harming the environment.
These development yardsticks, also known as MUSTs, also set NVH standards for achieving the levels of quietness and durability typical of Lexus vehicles. These standards are also relevant to static factors like the appearance, tactile and sound quality, as well as the performance and sensitivity of controls.

This may seem like a stramge question for this forum but I've tried to get in contact with Intel for several weeks to no avail!
I work for a company that already owns several single user licenses in one branch. My branch may need the Intel compiler for some new work but we're not quite sure yet. Is it a violation of the license and agreement to get a 30 trial license on line but use our existing cd to install the compiler on new machines, for trial use?

"So what's holding you back?" I asked. There was a cold silence on the other end of the line. Eventually a sigh, and a resigned voice spoke: "Well, it all comes down to a lack of money. If I had more money I would invest in advertising.

Connected city: Get out of the silos!
The full article was initially published in German in the 03.2014 edition of Urban 2.0.
Cities are booming, which raises the question: how can we continue to meet urban dwellers' needs? The connected city offers a promising solution. But this is not a one‑size-fits-all answer – it requires cities and technology providers to put in a lot of strategy work and come up with new ways of thinking.
Cities have always held a powerful attraction for people, yet life amid the hustle and bustle has changed over the centuries. Whereas medieval settlements fit neatly inside a continuous city wall, today's cities are virtually impossible to contain. In 1950, New York was the only metropolis in the world with more than 10 million people. Sixty years later and the number of such cities has skyrocketed: more than 25 cities around the world easily have that many people, and many are home to several times more. Extreme examples such as Tokyo or Jakarta prove that if anything this trend is intensifying – and the result is that more people now live in metropolitan areas than in rural ones.
Research has shown that cities occupy only about 2 percent of the earth's surface, but use some three-quarters of its resources. They spew out billions of tons of garbage, sewage and greenhouse gases. How long can these cities keep growing? At what point will they cease to function? How can the city of tomorrow meet the needs of its citizens?
Urban interfaces
We can look at any city from five perspectives: mobility, energy, communication, security, and city life. Developments in all cities fall into these five areas, yet work relating to one is generally done in isolation from the others. Often these so-called "silos" have emerged over decades, and only rarely are there interfaces between them. The fear of losing power – and with it, their reason for existing – is simply too great.
The city of the future will function only once it breaks through this kind of thinking and increases the flow of ideas among the different areas. To create and use interfaces, these areas have to communicate and interact with each other and with their environments. Only then can a city become truly connected. Bosch Software Innovations is developing such models for the city of the future with the city-state of Monaco. One focus of the collaboration is urban mobility.
Narrow streets
Let's take waste collection as an example. Since Monaco's streets are quite narrow and trucks can cause serious traffic tie-ups, the city is very keen for waste collection teams to do their job quickly. At the same time, business owners can't put the garbage out on the street too early; they don't want to tarnish the city's image or block the sidewalk longer than necessary. But how are business owners supposed to know when the garbage truck is coming, or if it's already been by? Using an app, they can track the location of the connected garbage trucks and put out their trash at just the right time.
Another example is managing parking spaces. If the city networks its parking garages and large parking lots, drivers can use an app to see where the available spaces are. Yet this information isn't valuable just for those in search of parking. By observing and evaluating the data over longer periods, city planners can better decide where to put a new parking garage or whether to redirect certain traffic flows. They could apply a similar approach to traffic signals and islands.
Better control
The Bosch-Monaco collaboration is also working on improving control of traffic flows. Special cameras equipped with IVA (intelligent video analysis) technology have been installed at the train station. These smart cameras continuously evaluate the recorded video signal and analyze the number of people present. If that number increases, for example after a train has arrived, the system can take appropriate action. Clusters of people around elevators are easier to handle since the system can recognize if an elevator is out of order or can't hold enough people. All this serves to facilitate the smooth flow of foot traffic within the train station. The system can even actively control the street traffic around the station to help avoid traffic jams or delays.
The city as a living organism
As cities evolve, they bring new challenges for technology developers and manufacturers alike. It used to be enough just to deliver a good product. But the city of tomorrow demands more. Take cameras, for example. In the past, camera manufacturers simply weren't concerned with what the city was planning or what exactly they would use the cameras for. Today, the technology has become a solution; city administrators expect to see not just a sophisticated camera, but a business plan as well. That business plan should ideally be carefully tailored to the customer city and its needs. For companies, this means they have to work more closely with their customers and put themselves in the customer's shoes. The customer-supplier relationship will change as a result.
One challenge that applies particularly to software is the timely processing and analysis of data; after all, a connected city generates at least 100,000 events per second. A city has two basic options for turning itself into a connected city. One calls for equipping things (sensors/actuators) with local intelligence. The advantage of this option is that the system can collect data where it is generated, and will forward it only as dictated by the logic in place. However, the downside is a loss in flexibility should the city choose to install a new or overarching system. The second option is central control: a central platform receives all data and then routes it as needed.
The reality will probably lie somewhere between these two options. Targeted application and the cost-benefit effect will ultimately decide what makes more sense: a centralized or decentralized system.
All of this is still quite a ways off, since in most cases cities lack a strategic structure. What's needed is a kind of authority, someone to take the lead and lend some shape to the city of tomorrow. This way of thinking is strange to most cities, but if they want to get connected, they have to change how they do things – they need to get out of the silos and into a network.

Basic question I know but can someone confirm something for me please.
As we are approaching the tax year end, for my clients that have Limited companies where relevant, I am looking at their profits to date, seeing what dividends have been paid to date and where profits permit suggesting what additional amount of dividends may be paid to them to use up their their basic rate allowance. Would that additional dividend actually need to be paid to the shareholders before 5th April 2012 for it to qualify as being in this tax year?
Thank you in advance for any comments.

Ipredator VPN connection problem (PLEASE HELP!)
My Ipredator connection was working perfectly. I have different router now(be chose I live in another place right now), and when I try to connect Ipredator, it works about 20 seconds, and after that, it disconnects. I'm using Windows 7 x64. I usually get error report "Error 619. The port was disconnected" and couple of times I have got "Error 868. The name of the remote access server does not resolve"
I read somewhere, that with the error 619 is something to do with Windows 7 not supporting the router, be chose the router is based on Windows 2000. Is this true? (I'm not sure is the router based on Windows 2000, but it could be)
In Ipredator wep pages "Q & A" there is solution for error report 619, and there is a link for microsofts page, but the solution is for Windows 2000 or XP, and I'm using Windows 7 x64, so I dont think it works for me.
And of course I have read the instructions from Ipredator web page, how to connect Ipredator correctly, and I have done everything correctly, but it just wont work.
I have read many forums, but so far I haven't found any solution for my problem.
I have also sent an e-mail to Ipredator support, but it seems that they are not gonna answer...
Any help would be much appreciated!

This is my version of a recipe I believe I got from "Vegetarian Times" several years ago. Perfect for the weather we've been having lately!
1 small onion, diced
1/3 - 1/2 c. chopped celery
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c. dry red wine
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes with juice
1 T. dried parsley (or 1/3 c. chopped fresh parsley)
1 T. dried basil
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/2 t. salt
8 cups vegetable broth, water, or any combination of the two
1 medium potato, peeled and diced
3/4 c. dried pasta (macaroni, penne, or something like that)
1 15-oz. can pinto beans (or the bean of your choice), rinsed and drained
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
In a large soup pot, sauté onion, celery, and carrot in olive oil and wine over medium-high heat until onion is transparent. Add garlic, sauté another minute. Add tomatoes, herbs, salt, and water or broth, and bring to a boil. Add beans, pasta, and potatoes, and cook at a low boil until vegetables are soft, potatoes are fork-tender, and pasta is cooked. Adjust seasonings to taste.

Neo-Nazi rally to go ahead in Jewish area as police left unable to stop them
A NEO-NAZI protest is free to go ahead in the heart of one of Britain's largest Jewish communities - because police do not have the powers to stop it.
The Jewish community in Golders Green have called for a ban on a neo-Nazi rally
Community leaders and the local Conservative MP in London's Golders Green have called on the Home Office to ban the rally on July 4.
A group of anti-Jewish demonstrators have told police they will be holding the rally in the north London area where Jewish residents make up 20 per cent of the community.
The protest is due to take place on a Saturday, the Jewish day of rest, when most Jews will be walking to the synagogue.
A spokesman from Scotland Yard said police have no powers to ban a static demonstration and must safeguard the right to protest.
Chief Superintendent Adrian Usher, of Barnet Police, said a policing plan was being drawn up.
He said: "Officers are speaking to the organiser of the protest to understand what their plans are."
Mike Freer, the MP for Finchley and Golders Green, said he asked the Home Office to ban the protest.
He added: "The rally is not about free speech but a deliberate attempt to provoke tension and antisemitism."
The rally is not about free speech but a deliberate attempt to provoke tension and antisemitism
Jewish community groups have also called for the rally to be banned, and more than 3,000 people have signed a Change.org petition calling for it to be halted.
The petition says: "A neo-Nazi rally or march in this area is intended to be inflammatory and threatening.
"It is racist in nature and has no place on modern Britain.
"The Jewish residents of Golders Green should not be subject to this racist abuse."
A spokesman for the Community Security Trust (CST), which monitors antisemitism, said it had been aware of the proposed demonstration for a few weeks.
A spokesman said: "By definition, this is attracting self-selecting antisemitic neo-Nazis who want to spend their Saturdays antagonising Jews.
"If they come to Golders Green, then it will be an opportunity for Jews and non-Jews alike to stress their united values and their utter rejection of racism and antisemitism."
He added that they would not be organising a counter-demonstration - but would support those who wanted to securely, as long as they co-operated with police and the council.
Other Jewish groups have said they will organise counter-demonstrations, including Campaign Against Antisemitism and the left wing Jewish collective, Jewdas.
But CST warned the demonstration should not be hyped up too much, like a similar anti-Semitic demonstration by neo-Nazi blogger Joshua Bonehill-Pain in nearby Stamford Hill - which has the UK's largest Jewish population.
The rally happened in the aftermath of the Paris attacks at a kosher supermarket and Bonehill-Paine has subsequently faced a number of criminal charges, including for alleged anti-Semitic harassment of MP Luciana Berger.
Police did manage to eventually cancel the Stamford Hill rally but that did not stop a few protesters turning up on April 18.
Mark Gardner, of CST, said: "Jews now face two choices for July 4. They can ignore the neo-Nazis, as in Stamford Hill, or they can protest.
"Whichever choice each individual takes, we hope that they will do so out of a feeling of pride and strength, rather than fear and intimidation."
The Board of Deputies of British Jews strongly condemned the "offensive and unacceptable plan" for the protest and said it supports the community's right to counter-protest.
A spokesman said: "The Board has made firm representations to the home secretary and the Metropolitan Police and look to them to prevent it happening or to move its location within the limits of the law."

The Relationship between a Parent and a Sporty Child
Shane Gouldie
I have been coaching children for the past 25 years and have found that children are under so much pressure from parents that they cannot and will not perform at their best.
Most parents are unaware of the damage they are causing, which in most instances is due to their love for their child and the passion for success.
This damage is easily avoidable and corrected by using the correct communication channels. The PPS coaching programme offers this communication channel through a basic course of 6 Sessions.
This is an emotional, mental and communication coaching programme to assist parents and children in understanding the complexities of communicating and supporting one another.
The third party medium allows the parents to get the correct support structures into place to allow the child to play his sport at the highest level and really enjoy what he is doing. Remember no athlete can perform at his sport if he does not enjoy himself!
Consists of 6 sessions of 30 minutes

The Calm Before…
- The Chimera Project
- Choreography by Malgorzata Nowacka
- At Enwave Theatre in Toronto on Monday
At the beginning of Malgorzata Nowacka's new dance, Brendan Wyatt comes out on stage and announces he's looking for the exit. Apparently, he's not up to another show. He disappears backstage and we hear him shouting for a light.
It's the unsettling entry into The Calm Before..., a raw depiction of a psychological meltdown – an emotional electrical storm – where Wyatt's character is confronted with his worst fears, embodied by other dancers.
Nowacka has been known for her gut-punching choreography since she exploded onto the Toronto scene 12 years ago. In the intervening years, as artistic director of The Chimera Project, she has refined her treatment of themes that focus on the dark side of human nature, and added polish to her powerful physicality.
In her new work, she attempts to step up her game with a narrative framework, in which Wyatt's character (the Protagonist), is harassed by the Shadow (Lee "Lethal" Pham) and confused by Guides (Tyler Gledhill, Jenny Lee, Anisa Tejpar and Nowacka).
This piece is extremely gymnastic – think horizontal airborne body rolls, dangerous ballet lifts. Her signature movement has always been powerful and athletic, with crisp limb outthrusts, forceful turns and jumps, and detailed gestural language. In this work she also integrates hip-hop moves into the action, a growing trend in Canadian choreography.
For example, Pham, a well-known b-boy, does execute showy hip-hop tricks, particularly floor work where the dancer twists and turns his body while balanced only on his hands. But in the main, the hip-hop elements are blended into the movement tapestry. The choreography works well with DJ Dave "Serious" Yan's pulsing score, which runs the gamut from throbbing squeaks to nerve-wracking static. Lighting designer Sharon DiGenova compounds the tortured mood with harsh squares and circles of light that denote the labyrinth of the subconscious.
The end result may be a sombre, reflective work, but the dancers dazzle as the Protagonist negotiates his journey into his heart of darkness.
Nowacka's props include oranges, perhaps a metaphor for forbidden fruit, but also a favourite of jugglers. They get thrown, rolled, carried and stacked. Collectively, they are a curveball with which Nowacka confounds the Protagonist – just another element that either tantalizes or infuriates him.
Throughout the work, dancer Lee appears carrying signs delineating scenes built around one of the Protagonist's fears – Fear of Death, Being Touched, Ridicule and the like. Fear of Love is also there, twice.
Nowacka does not take the easy route of literal exploration. Rather, she presents choreographic musings that seem to play devil's advocate. We may be watching Fear of Being Touched, but the dancers are in constant contact. It's as if we're seeing the Protagonist's thwarted desires.
In The Calm Before… nothing is as it seems. Nowacka may be flirting with narrative, but it is never straightforward, and certainly, never calm. Even the title is a mystery, it seems.
The Calm Before… continues until March 25.

No. 10/236,598, filed Sep. 6, 2002, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,141,371, issued Nov. 28, 2006, both of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Detection and identification of simple nucleotide mutations and/or polymorphisms among individuals are very important in many biological fields, ranging from biomedical research in hereditary diseases to ecology and evolutionary biology. Identification of the location of mutations involved in heritable diseases can provide clues for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic treatment of such diseases. However, it is very difficult to localize most of the mutations into very small region (several kilo-base pairs) or a single gene at a genomic level.
Sequencing of the genome of different individuals is the most straightforward method for mutation detection, but it is expensive and time-consuming. Some methods have been developed to detect mutations without direct sequencing. Linkage and association mapping use polymorphic markers to approximate the chromosomal location of the mutations. This method is very efficient to localize a mutation into a quite large genomic region (several hundreds kilo-base pairs), but very slow to further localize it into a single gene or a small region (several kilo-base pairs). Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is good for mutation detection and sequence comparison but can not efficiently define the location of a mutation either if whole genomic DNA is used as the starting material.
Most of the currently developed methods or techniques are suitable for testing mutations in a small region or a handful of genes, but are not good (if not impossible) for localizing mutations or polymorphisms at a genomic level. For example, in polynucleotide microarray hybridization methods (e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,837,832 (Chee et al.), and U.S. Pat. No. 6,376,191 (Yu et al.)) mutations in every single base position are detected by a set of four primers. To fully detect a 10 kb region, these methods will need about 10,000 sets of primers to be spotted on a microarray slide. Single stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) (Orita et al (1989) PNAS 86:2766; Myers et al (1985) N. A. R. 13:3131; White et al (1992) Genomics 5:301; Mills et al (1994) Biochem. 33:1797) methods are based on the observations that DNA sequence variations can cause DNA electrophoretic mobility changes. These two methods only work with short DNA molecules and can not screen many genes simultaneously.
The two methods I present in this invention have great potential to detect and localize DNA mutations at a genomic level simultaneously and rapidly. The method using restriction endonuclease(s) to detect mutations is termed RE microarray method. The other method using mismatch-recognition endonuclease(s) is named MR microarray method. The principle of the methods is illustrated in
Mutation detection is very important for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapeutic treatment of heritable diseases. However, none of the known methods can efficiently detect and define the location of mutations at a genomic level. In this invention, two methods are provided for such a purpose. The RE mutation detection microarray method used restriction endonuclease to detect mutations and the MR microarray method used mismatch-recognition nuclease to detect mutations. In the RE microarray method, the reference and target DNAs were completely digested with a restriction endonuclease. If a mutation caused the elimination of a restriction site of the endonuclease, the two restriction fragments in the reference DNA flanking the position of the mutation would in the target DNA become one large fragment spanning the position of the mutation. After denaturation and annealing, one single strand from the above two fragments of the reference DNA could anneal with one strand of the above large fragment of the target DNA to form a partially double-stranded DNA and DNA polymerase could then use the short strand of this DNA as a primer and the long strand as a template to label the short strand DNA by incorporating fluorescent nucleotides into newly synthesized DNA. Therefore, by this mechanism only the DNA strands flanking the mutation could be labeled. When hybridized to a microarray slide, the labeled DNA would bind to the spot whose DNA has the same sequence as the labeled DNA. By identification of the sequence of the spot DNA, the mutation would then be localized at or around this DNA sequence region, which can be as small as several kilo-bases. Similarly, a mutation that created a restriction site of the applied restriction endonuclease can also be detected and localized by this method.
In the MR mutation detection microarray method, reference DNA and target DNA were mixed, fragmented (by a restriction endonuclease), denatured and annealed to form heteroduplex DNA (between a single strand of a reference DNA fragment and a strand of the corresponding target DNA fragment carrying a mutation) as well as homoduplex DNA. The heteroduplex DNA was then specifically recognized and cleaved around the mismatch site into two short fragments by a mismatch-recognition nuclease while its corresponding homoduplex DNA and other homoduplex DNA would not be cleaved and kept full length. After re-denaturation and re-annealing of the nuclease-treated DNA mixture, a single strand of the cleaved short DNA fragments could anneal to a single strand of its corresponding full length DNA fragment to form a partially double-stranded DNA. As described in the RE microarray method, DNA polymerase could then use this partially double-stranded DNA to label the DNA strands flanking the mutation and after hybridization to a DNA microarray the location of the mutation would be identified.
In practice, both methods also used a differently labeled control DNA. The control DNA is the reference DNA alone or the target DNA alone treated in the same way as the mixture of the reference and target DNA as described above but labeled differently from the mixture of reference and target DNA. The differently labeled control DNA would then be combined with the labeled mixture DNA and hybridized to a microarray slide. The mutations would be detected and localized by identifying the sequence of each DNA whose microarray spot had a higher ratio of the label signal from the mixture DNA to the label signal from the control DNA. Such a control could reduce the effect of non-specific cutting or digestion by the nuclease and varied DNA amounts of different microarray spots, etc.
To prove the practicability of the methods, mutations in plasmids were detected and localized. A wild type plasmid was divided into two regions, L and R, and two DNA molecules separately from the two regions were used to spot onto slides to make mini microarrays. Three mutant plasmids (target DNAs) were compared with the wild type parental plasmid (reference DNA) by the methods. One of the mutant plasmids had a mutation that caused the elimination of an Ase I restriction site and the RE mutation detection microarray method successfully detected and localized the mutation into L region. The other two mutant plasmids each had a single nucleotide mutation and the MR mutation detection microarray method correctly detected and identified the location of the mutations. These experimental results indicate that the methods are practical and successful in mutation detection.
Materials used in this invention are listed as follows:
All the restriction endonucleases used were from New England Biolabs Inc. Taq DNA polymerase, its reaction buffer and dNTPs were from Roche Applied Science. QIAquick gel extraction kit was used for isolating DNA fragments from agarose gel and QIAquick PCR purification kit was used to purify DNA fragments from enzymes, nucleotides and salts (from Qiagen GmbH). Cy3 and Cy5-labeled dCTPs were from Amersham Biosciences.
Wild type (reference DNA) and mutant plasmids (target DNAs) used in this work were from Tom H. Stevens lab in the University of Oregon. pKH28 was constructed by inserting a 795 bp fragment carrying a wild type VMA21 gene in between the Sac I and Kpn I sites of pRS 316. pLG119 has a T to A substitution at 2106 bp. pLG120 has an A to C substitution at 2109 bp and pLG125 has an adjacent two nucleotides substitution (AT to GC) at 2126 bp and 2127 bp, which happens to eliminate an Ase I cutting site (ATTAAT) by changing the first AT to GC. In this work pKH28 is called wild type plasmid DNA or reference DNA. pLG119, 120 and 125 are called mutant plasmid DNA or target DNA.
The DNA microarray slides were made according to the protocols, available on the World Wide Web at microarray.org, which is maintained by Stanford University. Plasmid pKH28 and its derivatives pLG119, 120 and 125 all have two Sca I restriction sites (
Cel I nuclease, a mismatch-recognition enzyme, was prepared from celery according to a published method (Yang et al (2000) Biochem. 39: 3533)) with some modifications and less steps of purification. Briefly, 10 kg of fresh celery stalks was homogenized with a juicer and the juice was collected and adjusted to the composition of buffer A (100 mM Tris-HCL, pH7.7, 0.5M KCL and 100 μM PMSF). The suspension was centrifuged at 8000 g for 30 min and the supernatant was collected. 10 ml of Concanavalin A-sepharose (from Sigma) resin was added into the cleared supernatant and gently shaking for overnight at 4¯ C. The resin was then pelleted and washed twice with buffer A by two cycles of centrifugation (at 3000 g for 30 min) and resuspension. Cel I was then eluted from the resin with 80 ml of buffer A containing 0.3 M □-methyl-mannoside by incubation at 4¯ C. for four hours with gentle shaking. After centrifugation, the Cel I nuclease solution (supernatant) was collected, aliquot and stored at −20¯ C. When needed, an aliquot of the enzyme would be thawed and used. For the cleavage of mismatched double-stranded DNA, the best condition for a reaction of 2 μg DNA in a 30 μl final volume in 1X Cel I reaction buffer (20 mM Tris-HCL pH7.4, 25 mM KCL, 10 mM MgCl2) was 1 μl of this Cel I preparation and 30 min incubation at 37¯ C.
The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention and should in no way be construed as limiting the invention.
Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) is one of the most popularly used methods for mutation detection and sequence comparison. However, it can not define the location of the mutation. In this experiment, a microarray method is developed for rapid detection and localization of DNA mutations.
A mutation in a mutant plasmid pLG125 caused the missing of an Ase I site, which is present in the wild type plasmid pKH28 (see Materials and
One microgram (μg) of pLG125 and pKH28 were double digested with Pvu II and Ase I in NEB buffer 2 plus BSA, purified with QIAquick PCR purification kit and resuspended in 30 microliter (μl) of EB buffer (10 mM Tris-HCL, pH8.0). 5 μl of the above digested pKH28 DNA was mixed with 5 μl of the above pLG125 DNA to give a hetero-mixture DNA. 10 μl of the above digested pKH28 was also taken and called a control DNA. To label the DNA, the following chemicals were added to each of the mixtures: 2 μl of Taq DNA polymerase buffer (with 2.0 mM MgSO4), 5 μl of dATP, dTTP and dGTP mixture each at a concentration of 2 mM, 1 μl of 2 mM dCTP, 1 μl of 1 mM Cy5-dCTP (for hetero-mixture DNA) or Cy3-dCTP (for the control DNA), and 1 μl of Taq DNA polymerase (1 unit). A PCR machine was then used to complete the labeling reaction by a program that the first step is 95¯ C. 2 min to denature double-stranded DNA, then run 15 cycles of 95¯ C. 1 min and 72¯ C. 2 min, followed by a step of 72¯ C. 15 min and finally stop the reaction by quickly cooling to 4¯ C. The labeled reaction mixtures were combined, purified by QIAquick PCR purification kit and eluted with 30 pt of EB buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH8.0). 10.5 μl was taken out to mix with 3 μl of 20æSSC, 1.1 μl 20 mg/ml polyA and 0.42 pt of 10% SDS. After heated at 100¯ C. for 2 min and briefly centrifuged the mixture was then loaded onto a microarray slide for hybridization at 65¯ C. for 4-16 hours. After scanning of the microarray slides, it was found that in the same microarray slide the Cy5/Cy3 ratio of any spot of the L region DNA was about 5 to 9 times higher than that of any spot of the S region DNA (see
This experiment composes of four major steps: formation of heteroduplex and homoduplex DNA; treatment of the duplexes with a mismatch-recognition endonuclease to cleave the heteroduplexes at the mismatch site; labeling the cleaved DNA by DNA polymerase-mediated incorporation of modified nucleotides; and hybridizing the labeled DNA to DNA microarray.
There are a few mismatch-recognition endonucleases such as SP nuclease and Mung Bean nuclease. Here, Cel I nuclease was chosen to use because of its high specificity of cleavage at all single nucleotide substitutions (Oleykowski et al (1998) Nucleic Acids Research 26: 4597).
To detect and localize a mutation in plasmid pLG119, both pLG119 and wild-type plasmid pKH28 were digested with Sca I and then purified with QIAquick PCR purification kit. One microgram of this Sca I-digested pLG119 (pLG119/Sca I) was mixed with one microgram of the Sca I-digested pKH28 (pKH28/Sca I) in 30 microliter of 2X Cel I reaction buffer. As a control, two micrograms of the pKH28/Sca I were also resuspended in 30 μl of 2X Cel I reaction buffer and would experience exactly the same treatment as the wild type and mutant DNA mixture. The mixtures were then denatured at 95¯ C. for 5 min, cooled to 85¯ C. quickly and then slowly cooled down to 30¯ C. at a speed of 3¯ C. per hour. This denaturation and annealing step was processed in a PCR machine. In the pKH28/Sca I and pLG119/Sca I mixture, both homoduplexes and heteroduplexes would form randomly. The pKH28/Sca I control would be mainly homoduplexes.
After the formation of heteroduplexes, 28 μl of sterile distilled water was added to each of the above DNA mixtures to get a total of 58 μl. To cleave heteroduplex DNA, 1 μl of Cel I preparation was added into 29 μl of each of the mixtures and incubated at 37¯ C. for 30 min. After immediate purification with a QIAquick PCR purification kit, each of the Cel I-treated DNA mixtures was resuspended in 30 μl of EB buffer (10 mM Tris-HCL, pH8.0). 6 μl of each was taken and loaded onto 1.0% agarose for gel electrophoresis. It was shown that Cel I could cleave heteroduplexes and produce two new smaller fragments (
To detect the cleaved DNA, Taq DNA polymerase was used to add fluorescent Cy3 or Cy5-dCTP onto it. For this purpose, 10 μl of each of the above purified Cel I-treated DNA was mixed with 2 μl of Taq DNA polymerase buffer (with 2.0 mM MgSO4), 5 μl of dATP, dTTP and dGTP mixture each at a concentration of 2 mM, 1 μl of 2 mM dCTP, 1 pt of 1 mM Cy5-dCTP (for DNA from the mixture of pKH28/Sca I and pLG119/Sca I) or Cy3-dCTP (for the control DNA), and 1 μl of Taq DNA polymerase (1 unit). A PCR machine was then used to complete the labeling reaction by a program that the first step is 95¯ C. 2 min to denature double-stranded DNA, then run 15 cycles of 95¯ C. 1 min and 72¯ C. 2 min, followed by a step of 72¯ C. 15 min and finally stop the reaction by quickly cooling to 4¯ C. The labeled reaction mixtures were combined, purified by QIAquick PCR purification kit and eluted with 30 μl of EB buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH8.0). 10.5 μl was taken out to mix with 3 μl of 20æSSC, 1.1 μl 20 mg/ml polyA and 0.42 μl of 10% SDS. After heated at 100¯ C. for 2 min and briefly centrifuged the mixture was then loaded onto a microarray slide for hybridization at 65¯ C. for 4-16 hours.
The localization of the mutation can be achieved by comparing the ratios (Cy5/Cy3) of different DNA spots. With more than six repeats of the above experiments and each experiment with 6 repeated spots for each DNA fragment, it was found that in the same microarray slide the Cy5/Cy3 ratio of any spot of the L region DNA was 0.4-0.7 times higher than that of any spot of the S region DNA. This predicts that the mutation carried by plasmid pLG119 was located on the large Sca I fragment, which is correct according to the known fact that the mutation is there. This indicates that though there is quite strong non-specific cutting by Cel I nuclease, this method was still able to detect and localize DNA mutation.
Plasmid pLG120, which has an A to C substitution, was also used to test this method. A positive result very similar to that from pLG119 was obtained again. This further proved the practicability of this method and indicated the result of this method is repeatable and reliable. This method should work on genomic microarray in a similar way and then DNA mutations or polymorphisms in individual genomes would be able to be detected and localized rapidly.

Midnite and I-Grade Records have built upon the foundation of roots reggae a truly authentic and more evolved sound that is all their own. They are an absolute original and their music is on a much higher level intellectually than reggae. Dermot Hussey explained in 'Midnite In The Belly of The Beast' "I think lyrically they have changed the form of the reggae song. Intellectually they are way in advance of the mostly simple messages of traditional reggae." They are also the most prolific band in reggae and have been for at least the past 15 years.
So no, Jamaica can no longer claim reggae music as its own. I agree with Professor Carolyn Cooper who says "[s]o we've given reggae music to the world. But sometimes we act as if reggae was stolen from us." Jamaica should stand proud for they gave the world a very soulful and spiritual music which continues to touch the lives of people all over the world. But reggae music now belongs to those who choose to be caretakers of the music, wherever they are.

| ECAC Hockey
NCAA Division I Conference
|Number of teams:
| Men: 12
Women: 12
|Steve Hagwell
|Defending champions (men):
|Princeton Tigers
|Defending champions (women):
|Harvard Crimson
ECAC Hockey is one of the six conferences that compete in NCAA Division I ice hockey. The conference used to be affiliated with the Eastern College Athletic Conference, a consortium of over 300 colleges in the eastern United States. This relationship ended in 2004, however the ECAC acronym was retained in the name of the hockey conference.
The ECAC Hockey League was founded in 1962. In June 1983, concerns that the Ivy League schools were potentially leaving the conference and disagreements over schedule length versus academics caused Boston University, Boston College, Providence, Northeastern and New Hampshire to decide to leave the ECAC to form what would become Hockey East, which began play in 1984-1985 season.[1] By that fall, Maine also departed the ECAC for the new conference.[2] This left the ECAC with twelve teams (Army, Brown, Clarkson, Colgate, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, RPI, St. Lawrence, Vermont, and Yale). Army would stay in the conference until the end of the 1990-1991 season, at which point they became independent (they now play in Atlantic Hockey) and were replaced by Union College. Vermont left the ECAC for Hockey East at the end of the 2004-2005 season, and were replaced in the conference by Quinnipiac.[1]

As of the 2006-07 season, all ECAC schools participate with men's and women's teams, making ECAC Hockey the only Division I hockey conference with a full complement of teams for both sexes.[1]
Six of the members of ECAC Hockey are also members of the Ivy League, and all of the Ivy universities with Division I ice hockey programs are also members of ECAC Hockey. Neither the University of Pennsylvania nor Columbia University have intercollegiate ice hockey programs. UPenn supported an intercollegiate varsity hockey program in the past and was an ECAC Hockey member from 1966 to 1978 before the team was disbanded. The Ivy school that has the best regular season record against other Ivy opponents is crowned the Ivy League ice hockey champion. Yale won the 2009 Ivy League ice hockey championship. The Ivy League schools require their teams to play seasons that are about three weeks shorter than those of the other schools in the league.[3] Thus, they enter the league schedule with fewer non-conference warm-up games, though Harvard competes in the annual Beanpot Tournament and Cornell hosts a holiday tournament in Estero, Florida.

Jana Kramer and Gleb Savchenko earned a perfect 40 with their sizzling Argentine tango that was met with a standing ovation on "Dancing With the Stars."
It all started on a bed and they wound up getting drenched. There were also some incredible lifts!
Julianne said, "Now, that is chemistry!" Bruno loved that it was "down and dirty" and threw clothes at them. Carrie Ann said sexy was easy for them because they had amazing chemistry
Their dance was so hot that it even had musical guest and judge, Pitbull, inviting Kramer to strip down and toss her dress to him. (Which actually got a lot of backlash.)
Kramer and Savchenko nabbed the only perfect score of the night, but James Hinchliffe and Sharna Burgess weren't too far behind, scoring a 38.
The couple's rumba earned Hinchliffe the title of "best male dancer" the show has ever had by Judge Julianne Hough.
At the end of the night, the three couples in jeopardy were Amber Rose and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Calvin Johnson and Lindsay Arnold and Jana Kramer and Gleb Savchenko.
Ultimately, it was Amber and Max who were sent packing. Rose called it an amazing experience.
Tune in Monday to find out which couple is eliminated on "Dancing With the Stars."

Vi Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hello everyone!
This is my first attempt at a guide, so I'm terribly sorry if there are mistakes in it. This is how I would build Vi there are probably a lot of ways on how to build her. But I'm going to show you my favourite ones. Just look around and if you don't feel the vibe you can always look at another one. :)
Vi is a top lane or jungle champion. Her abilities are for pummeling opponents and shattering their armor and ofcourse to nuke them down. This Vi guide will show you both top and jungle.
If you have any additions to something or any corrections, please say so in the comments. I'm open to try anything new. I hope you enjoy the guide and learn something from it!
- Greetingz from Allianta -
This is the champion spotlight for Vi:
Oh.. and this:
To Vi, every problem is just another brick wall to punch through with her gigantic hextech gauntlets. Though she grew up on the wrong side of the law, Vi now uses her criminal know-how to serve Piltover's police force. Vi's brash attitude, abrasive humor, and blatant refusal to follow orders can often infuriate her by-the-books partner, Caitlyn. But even the Sheriff of Piltover cannot deny that Vi is an invaluable asset in the fight against crime.
As a child growing up in the lawless outskirts of Piltover, Vi learned to rob and cheat to get by. Stealing and stripping hextech hardware gave her the skills of a master mechanic, while life on the streets taught her self-reliance. When she was six, a ragtag group of criminals took a shine to the young delinquent and brought her into their fold. By the time Vi was eleven, she had become a seasoned accomplice, and she relished the thrill of every heist.
Vi's attitude changed when a raid on a mining facility went bad. She was forced to decide between fleeing with her crew and trying to save the innocent mine workers from a collapsed tunnel. Vi chose to play the hero. While searching for a way to free the mine workers from the rubble, she discovered a damaged robotic mining rig. Improvising, she wrenched off its huge fists and modified them into makeshift hextech gauntlets. Fitting the heavy weapons to her tiny hands, the young girl flexed her arm and threw a powered punch at the rubble. The force of the blow blasted away the rock. With the workers free to escape, Vi fled the scene.
After that job gone wrong, Vi severed her connection to the crew. She returned to a life of solitary crime, but stole only from other criminals. As the years went by, Vi modified and improved her hextech fists, allowing her to bust up heists and snatch loot with ease. Eventually, word of her notoriety reached Caitlyn, the famed Sheriff of Piltover. Rather than seek Vi's arrest, Caitlyn offered the criminal a way to pay her debt to society: work for the law in Piltover. Vi laughed. To her, a job that let her beat up crooks without forcing her to run from the cops sounded perfect. She immediately accepted. Caitlyn now struggles to keep Vi in line, and Vi treats Caitlyn's orders as mere suggestions, but when they work together, they are feared by all lawbreakers in Piltover.
''It's a shame. I've got two fists, but you've only got one face.''
-- Vi
Greater Mark of Attack Damage
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist
Greater Seal of Armor
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage
Greater Mark of Attack Damage This will give you an upper hand early game in fights and will help you get those last hits on minions.
Greater Glyph of Magic Resist This will help if their AP Carry is fed and does a lot of damage. For early game aswell as for late game.
Greater Seal of Armor This will help a lot for Top lane, most of the champions you will face there will be AD. It also helps to get less damage from their AD's early and late game.
Greater Quintessence of Attack Damage Again this will help you to have the upper hand in early game and to get last hits on minions.
Other Options:
Greater Mark of Armor Penetration If you want even more armor penetration, you can change to this rune.
Greater Quintessence of Movement Speed Vi is kind off slow, so this is an option. But I wouldn't take it. In my opinion if you have the enchantment on your boots (Furor) you can just take flat AD Quintessences.
Summoner Spells
Summoner Spells are PERSONAL PREFERENCE, don't forget this. You can choose whatever you like the most. I am going to tell you which spells I enjoy most playing as Vi.
Ignite I always use Ignite when I'm top, for securing kills, and if I'm against a healing champion to irritate them a bit.
Smite This ofcourse is a must have when you're jungling. For killing/stealing buff mobs, aswell as for securing/stealing a dragon/baron kill.
Flash This is my personal favourite, I always use it. It's very usefull for when you're in a sticky situation and have no other escape abilities. It's also very usefull for closing gaps when you're hunting down an enemy
Other Options:
Ghost Some people enjoy using ghost more than flash, I see no problem with it. This is truely personal preference.
So these are all the options you can get:
As I said this is all personal preference.. choose whatever you like the most and play the best with. :)
Skill Priority
Blast Shield This is her passive, you can activate the shield by hitting an enemy with 1 of your abilities.
Vault Breaker This ability is very nice if your jungling comes to gank or if you're ganking somebody. It will bring you close to the enemy pretty quickly, knock them back and it even applies the Denting Blows debuff.
Denting Blows This will help you nuke down opponents quickly.
Excessive Force This is great for clearing out the jungle quickly or for harrassing if you're in top lane.
Assault and Battery Ofcourse you always get this ability when possible. This is also a nice ganking/engage utility. Don't forget it makes you immume to crowd control when you use it.
If you know how to counter an enemy on this list, tell me in the comments and I'll be sure to add it!
(These are champions that I think could counter Vi)
Twitch Because of his range & poison this is rather a good counter for Vi.
Teemo Same goes for him + his blinding dart disables your W and E ability.
Irelia With her insane lifesteal & stun (when you're higher health) it's a bit hard fighting against her.
Riven With her ranged ability and jumping stuff, this might be a challenge too.
Olaf He does a lot of true damage early game (+ Vi is already a bit squishy early) and his ultimate ignores yours.
I have no clue if these are actual counters of Vi, I just have a weak feeling they might be. If you want to add or dissmiss a counter, tell in the comments why!
Gameplay Jungle
Here I will tell you the jungle route I use. :)
First off start with wolves, ask your mid / top to help damage them. Use your E ability (use the 2 charges) to clear wolves fast. If done well you shouldn't get a lot of damage (shouldn't even use a health potion). Then head on to blue, you can ask for a hardpull if you like that. Pop your first health potion while you're fighting blue, normally you can kill it without using Smite.
Go to wraiths and take your W ability, start clearing wraiths. You should pop a health potion here too. Head on to red buff and use your potion, here you can use smite to kill him faster. Clear golems and use your last health potion(s) whenever you need them. Keep following this route and look out for lanes that you can gank.
Here is a map to help you:
When you are ganking a lane, try to get behind an enemy and use your Q ability to knock them to your side of the map. This will reduce the chance of them getting away. If you have Exhaust you can use that to help reduce the chance even more.
As soon as you have your ultimate you can gank much easier, since it will knock up the champion you're charging and knock away any enemy in the way to him. Ofcourse, always use your ultimate on the carry.
Gameplay Top
Early Game:
Try to harass your enemy a little bit with your E ability, if they stand behind their minions and you have your W to you can easily harass them. You can also use this method if you're pushed back under your tower with a lot of minions. You can still get most of them if you have your 2 charges up. Ofcourse always buy wards! You're going to get ganked a lot if they know you never place a ward down and you push like your life depends on it.
Mid Game:
Don't go jumping in into teamfights if you're still a bit squishy. If you had a good early game and are a bit fed, which means having a fair bit of health and defensive matherial you can initiate with your ultimate or Q ability.
Late Game:
Because you're fed and have a lot of health and armor doesn't mean you're invincible. If you had a bad game and are really squishy.. do not overextend. Don't make yourself even more vulnerable. Late game you should mostly stay with your team anyway.
Baron and Dragon
He provides:
- 190 Gold (Global)
- 400 Experience (Everyone that fights it)
He provides:
- 300 Gold (Global)
- 900 Experience (Global)
- A buff that gives: 40 AP - 40 AD - 3% of your max health in heatlh regeneration - 1% of your max mana in mana regen. (This buff is only given to the members of the team that are alive!)
Tips & Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks that might help you a little bit. :)
- Use your passive wisely in the jungle, try to use your shield on red buff and blue buff. It might not be a lot of damage you neglect, but it's something
- You can use your Q ability to charge over some of the walls, helping you escape out of a failed teamfight or a gank.
- If your opponent in top lane bought a vision ward place your ward at Baron, out of range off the vision ward.
- If you have some extra gold and your opponent is warding, you should definitely tell your jungler too come gank as soon as you placed your vision ward down and killed your oponent's ward.
- Your E ability does extra damage on turrets/inhibitors/nexus, so try to use your ability as much as possible on those when pushing!
I will explain some of the items I choose to use on Vi. Some items are for top are the same reason as jungle, if you have some additions or corrections on items for jungle / top you can always tell me, I'm prepared to try everything. :)
Jungle Items:
Wriggle's Lantern The lifesteal is quite nice and the ward is very handy. You can choose to either help a lane with warding, you can put it at dragon or at one of your buffs if you're scared of getting counterjungled.
The Black Cleaver The armor penetration on top of your mastery and ability is really nice to nuke their carry down easily + with the AD you get from the cleaver it's a nice bonus to your damage too.
Zephyr This item gives you a nice amount of AS and CDR together with a bit of AD and movement speed.
Phage The slow is pretty nice for ganking and if you build it out into Trinity Force you will do tons of damage. Trinity Force also gives you a fair bit of movement speed, health and mana. So it's very nice.
Mercurial Scimitar This provides you with a bit of magic resist and AD. The active is very nice since it gives a speed boost and removes all the debuffs on your champion.
Top Items:
The Black Cleaver The armor penetration on top of your mastery and ability is really nice to nuke your opponent down + with the AD you get from the cleaver it's a nice bonus to your damage too.
Zephyr This item gives you a nice amount of AS and CDR together with a bit of AD and movement speed.
Mercurial Scimitar This will help in late game if their AP carry is doing a lot of damage. Rush this items first if you're against an AP top laner. (e.g. AP Teemo or Nidalee)
Phage The slow is pretty nice for securing kills when they're running away, and if you build it out into Trinity Force you will get to do tons of damage. Trinity Force also gives you a fair bit of movement speed, health and mana. So it's actually very nice.
Situational Items:
Wit's End if you don't have enough MR at the end of the game, you can always switch your Zephyr for this item.
Frozen Mallet You can take this item if you like to have the slow while ganking or when you're laning. It also provides a nice bit of survivability, so it's a pretty nice item.
Guardian Angel For both this item is very nice. When you're already hard to kill and do a lot of damage this item will make the enemy team even more angry. Since it also gives a little bit of armor and magic resist. When jungling you can sell your Wriggle's for this item late game.
3v3 Items
I have no credit for this build, since my boyfriend (Tregan) made this. I will explain how the build works and which items you should take when.
The first items are pretty clear. Boots of Speed and Doran's Blade, follow with Phage, The Brutalizer, Beserker's Greaves and The Black Cleaver. The follow up of your build depends on what kind of team they have.
If they have a lot of AD or is their AD fed, follow this build:
Sunfire Cape, Trinity Force and Atma's Impaler.
If they have a lot of AP or is their AP fed, follow this build:
Maw of Malmortius, Trinity Force and Banshee's Veil.
Finish your build with:
Enchantment: Furor, Stinger and Zephyr
Mostly you will only need 1 kind of defense, either armor or magic resistance. If you feel you need both, you can always take an item of each. (e.g. you take Atma's Impaler but instead of Sunfire Cape you get Maw of Malmortius, etc.)
I would like to thank Tregan again for this wonderfull build and his help and support when I made mine! Be sure to give him some rep, people! :)
I don't make a seperate guide for 3v3 about your gameplay, because it's basically the same in 5v5 but just on a smaller map. All the tips stay (except for those who aren't possible, like the wards).
I hope that you get to own some people there!
Comments of some players
I'll post some comments of players that gave some good advice here. :)
I've been playing around with Vi a bit and so far I feel that starting with W -> E -> Q while jungling might be more efficient, as you get increased attack speed and bonus damage very easily against the neutral monsters.
Normally I go W, E, W and then Q if I want to go gank or another point in E if no ganking opportunities is present. After the second point in W I normally see how the game is going wether I want to max W over E or the other way around.
After playing some more games with Vi, mainly solo top, I've come to the conclsion that Avarice Blade has become something of a Love/Hate object. If you are having an OK or easy match-up, then grab avarice blade. The extra gold from this item will make a huge impact on your game. If you are having a difficult time, however, don't get it. The crit chance is generally not worth it and you will be left weaker for a while comparing to your opponent so instead maybe buy 1 or 2 Doran's Blade. In the jungle, though, I would grab it most of the time.
I usually rush Phage after picking up boots and madred's razor so I can have some sort of CC without having to rely on my R or the CD on my Q. and I usually put two points into W and then maxing E instead of going back and forth. Also the CD on her Q is kind of long which is why I tend to max that first. I haven't tried maxing W first and going AS/Crit build but that seems plausible.
That's a lovely guide, Can I give you a suggestion?
You could make a list of possible counters on other Champions while playing Vi, like twitch. So far in every match I played against Twitch (And he was on rotation, which made it even more annoying.), he has been countering me with little to no effort, really.
why do you start with Boots of Speed on toplane ?
for a slow champion its effektive... i know ...but you can use Vault Breaker to run away
but when you use Cloth Armor or something you have enough armor to stay alive :3

(^ Also as answer to this, look at the situation. If you're against a heavy damage dealer like Olaf / Darius, do what he says and buy armor first.
Thanks & Updates
Thank you for reading my guide! Tips and help are always welcome. This is my first guide ever and I hope that it atleast was a bit helpfull. I will try to update this regularly.
Have a nice day futher! :)
Updated 27/12/2012: Pretty much revamped the whole guide. New build, added some nice pictures and changed the skill sequence.
Updated 23/12/2012: Added a new Tip & Trick to the list, also moved Frozen Mallet to situational items, since I forgot to do that a while ago. Also changed masteries for top lane. (Thank you Splortched for mentioning this! :) Also added a 3v3 build.
Updated 21/12/2012: moved Avarice Blade after boots to have the most value from it. Again fixed the masteries, this time icons weren't showing up.
Updated 21/12/2012: fixed runes not showing and masteries being swapped with abilities of other champs.

What device are you running Foxtel Play on? I'm not having any issues on PC, TV, BD player or XBox One
There are issues with the search engine at the moment. It's being worked on
Xbox One, I am not the only one and I've gone through all the trouble shooting a million times.
It's a very poorly built app.
Even the fact that when you want to see the "guide" you actually have to stop the stream, it starts a new steam in a preview window next to the guide, then when you select the channel, it stops that stream again, then starts another stream again is just bizare, welcome to how apps worked 5 years ago :/
I have 3 Xbox One consoles, they all do the same, we also have 2 NBN connections in our house (one is a backup with another provider) so nothing to do with that.
We stream Stan and Netflix perfectly.
Hi @simonmelbourne0, While they are different applications they both rely on IP for the end result. My suggestion was purely informational and just a suggestion.... I just happen to be with Telstra, and in my area there was a problem with the NBN infrastructure at the exchange (doesn't matter what carrier you use...), that was affecting all internet services. It can happen, anywhere...
Hope you get your issue sorted...
No worries, thank you
There is no issue wth the NBN in my area however.
I have had this issue for the last two days too. I am a brand new customer and this is not making a good first impression.
Which issue are you having - 'This content is currently not available' on PC/Mac or issues on Xbox One?
Hi @TLD
Getting "Sorry, content not currently available" every single day, mutiple times a day on Foxtel Play (Xbox One), only temporary fix is to turn the Xbox One off then restart it.
I have a mate with an Xbox One S who is having the exact same issue with his Foxtel Play, so it's cleary an issue with the app or at Foxtel's end.
We both have 100Mbps NBN service with Stan and Netflix apps working perfectly, every time.
Reinstalled app several times, updated xbox one software.
Appears to be a very common issue looking at the Whirlpool forums https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=2563878&p=37
When will Foxtel fix this issue?
Again today gettting "sorry, content not currently available" I sure hope foxtel if offering refunds/credits as it's becoming unusable.
Xbox One.
All trouble shooting ruled out MANY times and their support line admitted to me on the phone they have an issue but weren't sure when it was going to be fixed
