Clinical Neuropsychology Internship
This internship is structured to provide generalized training in clinical psychology while preparing trainees to obtain a two-year neuropsychology postdoctoral residency focusing on adult and geriatric practice and eventual board certification in neuropsychology.
- Neuropsychological evaluations across the lifespan, from infants to geriatric populations
- Consultation/Liaison services at area hospitals
- Inpatient evaluations on a geriatric psychiatric unit
- Competency/Capacity evaluations
- Medico-legal and forensic neuropsychology
- Psychotherapy available on switch day to other WCPIP training sites
Additional experiences that may be available depending on patient need and funding availability include:
- Inpatient evaluations on a video EEG unit
- Language mapping, Wada procedures and awake craniotomies for lobectomy and tumor removal
- Return to Work and Fitness for Duty evaluations
- Program development and organization of new population-specific clinics
An important part of the training experience for the intern is the day of placement at another of the WCPIP sites with a primary focus on psychotherapy. These sites include Prairie View and the Wichita State University Counseling and Prevention Services. During the first week of internship, trainees tour these sites and chose their switch rotation with collaboration from their supervisor, based on their training needs. Within the neuropsychology clinic interns are also able to participate in feedback and therapy with patient and families incorporating assessment findings and consultation with area schools to implement behaviorally-based interventions with children experiencing cognitive impairment.
Multidisciplinary communication is an integral part of the practice of neuropsychology in a medical environment. A strength of this training program is its collaboration and opportunities for consultation with trainees from multiple disciplines. The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences provides training for many disciplines including:
- Doctoral internship in clinical psychology: Neuropsychology emphasis
- Doctoral internship in clinical psychology: Child psychology emphasis
- Two-year neuropsychology residency
- Graduate training in neuropsychology and child and adolescent psychology for a local PhD program
- Four-year general psychiatry residency
- Psychiatry training for KUSM medical students
- Practicum training for Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner
The aim of this internship is to provide clinical experiences and didactic educational opportunities that promote the development of competencies and prepare interns for neuropsychology residency and eventual practice in clinical neuropsychology.
Neuropsychology Clinical Experience
Training in neuropsychology occurs in several venues under the direction of faculty adult neuropsychologists (Robin Heinrichs, Ph.D., ABPP CN, Phillip Martin, Ph.D., and Ryan Schroeder, Psy.D., ABPP CN) and faculty pediatric neuropsychologist (Kelli Netson, Ph.D., ABPP CN). Geriatric neuropsychology training is provided in collaboration with Connie Marsh, M.D. and Susan Carr, M.D., KUSM-W faculty members and co-directors of the Senior Behavioral Health unit at Via Christi Medical Center. Consultation neuropsychology training is provided in collaboration with Rachna Kalia, M.D., KUSM-W faculty member and consultation liaison psychiatrist. Clinical services include:
Outpatient: KUSM-W Neuropsychology Clinic
Outpatient evaluations are conducted for patients with a broader-than-typical variety of neuropsychological insults including traumatic brain injury, vascular disease, encephalopathy, epilepsy, HIV, neurologic disease, anoxic injury, seizure disorder, brain tumor, normal pressure hydrocephalus, Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia and conversion disorder.
Pediatric evaluations are conducted for genetic, developmental, neurologic, behavioral, and emotional disorders. Referrals include autism-spectrum disorders, Fragile X Syndrome, 22p Deletion (i.e., velo-cardio-facial syndrome), spina bifida, OCD, depression, ADHD, and specific learning disorders. Interactions with developmental pediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, teachers, and special educators are frequent. There is significant diversity with regard to race/ethnicity, socio-economic status, urban vs. rural dwelling, and educational background of patients and parents.
Interns have the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of legal cases including interview, test selection, and report writing. When available, interns are invited to sit in on deposition of neuropsychology faculty members. Cases generally include forensic referrals involving civil litigation, Independent Medical Evaluations for insurance companies, independent Educational Evaluations for due process in the school district, and some criminal litigation.
Referrals to the neuropsychology clinic at KUSM-W come from general physicians, neurologists, neurosurgeons, pediatricians, psychiatrists, attorneys, insurance companies, business concerns, schools and rehabilitations hospitals.
Inpatient: Via Christi Hospitals
Consultations are conducted with patients admitted to local hospitals on neurocritical care, geriatric, general medical, ICU and rehabilitation units and on the video EEG monitoring unit as needed.
These consultations frequently involve opinions regarding the patient's ability to make reasoned decision regarding finances, healthcare and\or management of one's estate. Interns are trained in legal issues related to capacity and they are taught how to make decisions that will meet the burden necessary in a court of law.
Consultations also frequently involve providing recommendations regarding the level of care needed by the patient secondary to cognitive impairment, to assist with placement of the patient after dismissal from the hospital. Special care is given to ensure the patient's safety while providing the greatest degree of independence in functioning.
Many of these inpatients are subsequently seen for follow up evaluations in the outpatient clinic as well.
Training Expectations
It is expected that the intern will enter internship with prior training in test administration. Although the intern will conduct some testing, the focus for the internship is on the interviewing, interpretation of testing and other data, report-writing and feedback and therapy with patients and families. Primary competencies will be developed in:
- Determination of focus and components for each evaluation given the referral questions (e.g. differential diagnosis and treatment planning, independent neuropsychological examination for workers' compensation, civil litigation).
- Hands-on assessment experience involving administration and interpretation of a wide range of adult and child measures.
- Utilization of neuropsychological technician services to obtain test data.
- Integration of all available data including medical, employment and school records.
- Detection of symptom magnification, fabrication and malingering and evaluation of the nature and quality of test responses.
- Report writing targeted for the referral sources (e.g. physician, attorney, licensing board).
Didactics and Supervision
The neuropsychology intern is a member of the neuropsychology team that consists of three neuropsychology faculty, two neuropsychology fellows, one neuropsychology intern and numerous psychometricians. Supervision is provided by the neuropsychology faculty and both fellows, and as needed and requested, by other clinical psychology faculty members. The neuropsychology intern participates in five main neuropsychology and clinical psychology-related seminars:
Clinical Neuropsychology Seminar
This weekly didactic training experience focuses on preparation for board certification in neuropsychology. A rotating schedule of topical discussions led by faculty and trainees, review of written board exam preparation materials, mock oral board examinations, and guest speakers round out the experience.
Clinical Psychology WCPIP Seminar
This two hour weekly seminar features guest speakers presenting on a variety of clinical psychology topics in keeping with the American Psychological Association's guidelines for training doctoral level psychologists. These seminars are attended by all WCPIP Interns.
Psychiatry Grand Rounds
The Department of Psychiatry conducts these bi-weekly didactics on topics related to mental health issues in accordance with the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association's guidelines for training doctoral and post-graduate clinicians. Invited local and national speakers offer expertise on a range of mental health, medication, and medical topics.
Geriatric/Consultation Seminar
This interdisciplinary seminar meets weekly and includes psychiatry residents, residents from other disciplines, medical students and pharmacology doctoral students along with Drs. Baade and Schroeder from Neuropsychology, Drs. Marsh and Carr from Geriatric Psychiatry, Dr. D'Empaire from Consultation Liaison Psychiatry and Dr. Meg Damen from Pharmacology.
Neuroscience Conference
The Neuroscience Conference is a biweekly interdisciplinary meeting for all practitioners in neuro-related practice that is attended by neurologists, neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists, radiologists, residents, medical students and the neuropsychology team. Presentations are made by participants from the various fields of medical practice and typically include a clinical case. Recent topics include neuropsychological findings in bi-thalamic infarct, aneurysm coiling/clipping procedures, and differential diagnosis of suprasellar lesions.
Journal Club
This monthly meeting includes an article presentation by psychiatry residents with opportunities for neuropsychology trainees to collaborate and share their research expertise. It is attended by neuropsychology trainees, medical students, psychiatry residents, and faculty members.
Psychiatry Case Conference
Psychiatry residents present unique cases for discussion during this monthly meeting attended by residents, medical students, neuropsychology trainees, and faculty members.
Other Experiences
Additional didactics include annual conferences in Neurology, Stroke and Geriatrics. These meetings provide the intern with multiple opportunities to present clinical cases and research projects to a variety of audiences.
While the primary focus of the internship program is training in clinical psychology and neuropsychological evaluation, research is ongoing in the neuropsychology team and opportunities for opportunities for short-term projects are available. The neuropsychology intern is encouraged to participate in one of the ongoing research projects with the goal of a poster at one or more national conventions, and/or a publication submission during their internship year. The typical intern obtains a neuropsychology residency (postdoctoral fellowship) and is interested in participation in ongoing research.
Internship Stipend and Benefits
The stipend at KUSM-W for the Neuropsychology Intern is projected to be $24,000 for the year. Liability insurance is provided and paid for by KUSM. Individual health insurance is provided with a three-month waiting period. FICA and income tax will be withheld; sick leave and administrative leave are provided. Standard MS Office, PASW (formerly SPSS), and Dragon dictation programs are available to fellows. Administrative support staff manage all billing, insurance, and scheduling. Employment after the match is contingent on the incoming intern passing background checks conducted by KU School of Medicine.

Kilmeena U13 girls travelled to Westport this morning to play their final game of the league. A very strong Westport side dominated from the throw in. Dearbhla Feehan had the honour of captaining the Kilmeena team today. Kilmeena had some good individual performances from Aoife Gibbons in goal, Abby McGreal, Ciara Gill and Holly Barrett in defence while Ciara Joyce showed some great individual pieces of skill and determination up front. Despite constant pressure from the Westport forwards Kilmeena's defence never gave up. Their efforts were rewarded towards the end of the first half where a clearance out of defence brought the Kilmeena forwards into action and after several passes the youngest player on the pitch Aisling Hoban sent the ball into the back of the Westport net. 22 girls played for Kilmeena today. Well done to all involved and congratulations to Westport on their well deserved win.

- NHS England wants to create regional radiotherapy networks
- Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust says plan is not in best interests of its patients
- Royal college calls for investment in IT to prevent longer patient journeys
Leaders of an acute trust have argued that national proposals to centralise certain cancer treatments will result in worse care for its patients and cause shortages of specialist staff.
Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust has come out against NHS England's plan to create regional radiotherapy networks. The national commissioning body said the reconfiguration will boost outcomes and "maximise the impact" of a £130m equipment modernisation fund.
The proposals said 11 networks would be formed for patient populations of 3 million to 6 million, in which at least one specialist centre will provide treatment for rarer cancers.
It is hoped that this will tackle inequality in treatments offered across the country, as the quality of radiotherapy services can vary depending on how often a trust treats a type of cancer.
Royal Cornwall has said the plans would mean up to 200 patients a year needing to travel as far away as Bristol for treatment.
This would include patients who have uncommon cancers in the brain, head, neck, blood and pelvis.
Losing these patients would leave radiotherapy equipment at the trust "underutilised" and impact the trust's ability to recruit and retain specialist staff, chair Jim McKenna said.
While the trust said it endorsed the aim of "improving outcomes and reducing variation", it said adoption of NHS England's plan would not be in the best interests of its patients.
The concerns were highlighted in the trust's response to NHS England's consultation, which it published in its January board papers. More than 11,000 responses were submitted.
In the consultation document, NHS England acknowledged some patients with "less common and rarer cancers" may have to travel to a different centre. It said: "This is so that each patient can benefit from cancer specific clinical expertise, treatment protocols and techniques, clinical trial opportunities, and the associated specialist supportive care."
A spokeswoman for NHS England said: "The proposed new service specification will strengthen the requirement for local decision making through radiotherapy networks about how the best treatment pathways can be delivered within the local geography."
The Royal College of Radiologists said responses from its members were positive "in general" but also highlighted several "important concerns".
These included extended travel times for patients, a lack of indication as to how the networks will be funded, and a need for "significant improvement" in IT connectivity between trusts.
David Bloomfield, the RCR's medical director for professional practice, faculty of clinical oncology, said the college is concerned patients in low socioeconomic groups may be the most negatively affected as they may not choose the best treatment due to travel and accommodation costs.
He said the most important aspect for patients is their care is planned by doctors who often treat their type of cancer.
Dr Bloomfield said it was possible for this care to be planned by doctors across trusts in a network if there was an investment in IT infrastructure between trusts. This could enable patients to receive the treatment at their local hospital instead of travelling further to specialist centres.
"If this was going to work then the investment in IT would have to be absolutely core and it should be addressed first," he said.
He said networks would have to be careful to avoid "unintended consequences" such as new consultants only applying for jobs at specialist centres.
But he added: "There is a lot of good in the proposal. It's not about cost cutting but an opportunity to improve quality."
The college said it was not aware of any other trusts that have publicly responded with concerns like Royal Cornwall's.

Missionaries like William Evenhouse, a Dutch-American musician and teacher, and Reverend Jan Boer, a Dutch-Canadian preacher. Both men resettled in Jos in the 60s.
As a young, passionate musician and producer Evenhouse set up a studio in the mid-80s with help from a young man called Panam Percy Paul, who would go on to become one of Nigeria's most popular gospel musicians. The studio provided the backdrop for many of the young children born to the clergymen and their converts in the city to launch a music platform under Panam's guidance. When Evenhouse left mission employment in Nigeria to take up a role at the American University in Cairo, Egypt, he sold the equipment to Panam, who relocated it to Tafawa Balewa Street and created the record label Panam Music World. He has also set up a music college in the city.
The Evenhouse studio is where Panam used to do all his work, Jesse Jagz. "[He] is a demigod. I used to record albums as a producer for a lot of artistes. There's nobody below the age of fifty that did not grow up listening to Panam's music, there's nobody that doesn't know him. He was what everybody who was the musician's musician listened to. There's no artiste in the north and Nigeria at large, whether in church or not, that has not been influenced by Panam."
Panam still leads congregations in the city.
From his church he reflects on how far the young musicians he watched growing up have come: "All these boys are my children," he says with pride. "P-Square used to record demos at my studio. Jeremiah [Gyang] would come around a lot and those Abaga boys produced albums for people there too. Their parents are my good friends. It's a thing of joy to see them progress and become top musicians."
Panam's concerts were the first major introduction to the showman life for the young, impressionable kids of Jos. Panam was everything in Jos, in terms of music, The whole town would shelve every programme and attend his concert, [He] would go to churches too to perform.
Now It is safe to say artist like 2baba, P-Square, M I, Jesse and all others that are leading the music industry today first learnt their craft and show business skills from people like Panam.
!!!So if you keep wondering why a little city like Jos keep producing outstanding musicians and entertainers, here is one reason why!!!

null Public Meeting - Proposed amendment to the Brownfields Community Improvement Plan
November 14, 2017 -
A public meeting will be held on Thursday, Dec. 7, 2017 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers, City Hall, 216 Ontario St.
Address of property: Brownfields Community Improvement Project Areas
Applicant: The Corporation of the City of Kingston
City file number: D18-001-2017
Purpose and effect of the proposed amendment: To revise the existing Brownfields Community Improvement Plan (CIP) and include some additional properties in Community Improvement Project Area 1A.
This notice is in addition to the public meeting notices that were published on June 16, 2017 and Sept.12, 2017, which outlined the City's proposed changes to the financial incentive components of the Brownfields Program and CIP for the rehabilitation and redevelopment of brownfield sites. Since the first public meeting, held on July 6, 2017, some of the proposed changes to the financial incentives of the Brownfields CIP have been revised based upon input received from the public and subsequent analysis by staff, including:
- The proposed reduction in remediation expenses eligible for rebate from 100 per cent to 85 per cent of costs incurred has been removed and the original eligibility of up to 100 per cent has been retained; and
- The proposed reduction in the portion of incremental tax available for rebate from 80 per cent to 70 per cent has been removed and the original 80 per cent allocation retained.
As part of the notice published on Sept.12, 2017, the City proposed to amend Community Improvement Project Area 1A by including a few additional properties in the downtown. The addition of these extra properties is to account for the likely presence of environmental conditions similar to those already in Community Improvement Project Area 1A, and would allow the owners of those properties to be eligible for participation in the Brownfields Program. At the public meeting on Oct. 5, 2017, written correspondence was received from the owner of 55 Rideau St., requesting that this property be included in Community Improvement Project Area 1A because it had been consolidated with the property at 292 Wellington Street, which is already within the project area boundary. The public meeting scheduled for Dec. 7, 2017 will address the proposed inclusion of the additional parcel of land at 55 Rideau St.
Key map and description of subject lands: The proposed amendment applies to the entire Brownfields CIP, with the addition of lands to Community Improvement Project Area 1A, which include those properties identified in the key map that are in the block bounded by Queen Street to the north, King Street East to the east, Princess Street to the south, and Wellington Street to the west, as well as 55 Rideau St. The lands identified in the key map that are part of this proposed amendment are not currently the subject of any other applications under the Planning Act.
Additional information about the proposed amendment to Community Improvement Project Area 1A, as well as the other proposed amendments that were the subject of the public meeting notices dated June 16, 2017 and Sept.12, 2017, can be viewed at the office of the planning division at 1211 John Counter Boulevard, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Enquiries may be made by telephoning Sonya Bolton, senior planner, 613-546-4291, ext. 3237. A draft of the revised Brownfields CIP can also be accessed on the City's website at www.CityofKingston.ca/Brownfields.

Mail: 216 Ontario St., Kingston, ON K7L 2Z3
Fax: 613-542-9965
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Written comments for or against this change may be sent to the planning division using the contact information offered above.
Public consultation
Anyone may attend the public meeting and make a verbal statement, and/or submit comments in writing, either in support of or in opposition to the proposed amendment to the Community Improvement Plan. This is the third public notice related to this file. As such, the planning committee will receive a comprehensive report at the same meeting on Dec. 7, 2017, subject to public comment, at which time a recommendation will be made to council regarding the proposed amendment. The comprehensive report will be available on the City's website at CityofKingston.ca/Planningcommittee on Dec. 2, 2017.
Please note that city council has delegated to the planning committee the authority to hold the public meeting instead of council. All representations, both verbal and written, will be considered only by the planning committee, which will submit a committee report with its recommendations to council for a decision on the matter.
Notice of collection: Personal information collected as a result of this public meeting is collected under the authority of the Municipal Act, the Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA), the Planning Act, and all other relevant legislation, and will be used to assist in making a decision on this matter. All personal information (as defined by MFIPPA), including (but not limited to) names, addresses, opinions and comments collected will be made available for public disclosure to members of the public, at the meeting, through requests, and through the website of The Corporation of the City of Kingston. Questions regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of this personal information may be directed to the director of planning, building and licensing services, 216 Ontario St., Kingston, Ontario, K7L 2Z3.

A year ago, Peter Hindle, the boss of builder's merchant Jewson, said he was supporting David Cameron's election pledge to scrap a rise in National Insurance Contributions because "it was the right thing to do for the business, our staff and our shareholders".
Today, he is wondering whether he made the right decision.
Not only did Jewson customers express their unease at Mr Hindle's foray into politics, but the Coalition's ferocious programme of public spending cuts has left Jewson customers struggling for work.
Hindle, the UK general delegate for Jewson's French parent Saint-Gobain, is now keeping his own counsel on the Prime Minister after a challenging last 12 months.
But an examination of the company's customers tells its own story about the difficulties the Coalition have brought to Jewson.
The company was one of the main suppliers to Connaught, the social housing maintenance group, and also a sponsor of the chief executive's son's racing career.
However, Connaught controversially collapsed into administration last year blaming public spending cuts causing contracts to be deferred. This left Jewson about £3m out of pocket, as one of the largest trade creditors.
Just weeks later, Jewson was another £2m in the red when Rok collapsed. Administrators said the building group had suffered a 30pc drop in expected September revenues as public sector clients drastically cut back.
Statistics this week suggest the predicament for Jewson's customers has improved little since, with construction output falling 4.7pc in the first quarter of 2010
"Looking forward, the outlook remains very uncertain," says Michael Ankers, chief executive of the Construction Products Association, Jewson's trade body.
"The real challenge for the industry is the effect of the public spending cuts in the Comprehensive Spending Review which only really started to have an impact from the beginning of the new financial year in April, and in the short term we do not believe that construction spending in the private sector will be sufficiently strong to compensate for these cuts."
The CPA said the level of decline recorded by the ONS was "extremely surprising" and "not consistent" with information it has of a bounce back from December's extremely cold weather, another hurdle the industry has had to cross. Nonetheless, the CPA is still forecasting a fall in output of 1pc this year and a further 2pc in 2012.
The depth of public spending cuts is well known – £81bn over the next five years – and a significant portion of this directly impacts the construction sector. Capital expenditure by local authorities will fall by 30pc by 2014/2015 with transport spending roughly 11pc down, health 17pc and education 60pc.
Entire programmes, such as Building Schools for the Future, and entire strategies, such as public-private partnerships, are now on the scrap heap.
Perhaps surprisingly, there is not a palpable sense of resentment in the industry over the cuts.
Paul Sheffield, chief executive of FTSE 250 company Kier, says: "It was clear before they came in that there had to be cuts. Standing back from it, they have done what they said. It could have been worst.
"Even Building Schools for the Future had to end. A lot of schools need to be built but they didn't need to be so spectacular buildings."
What has caused frustration, however, is the scale of change being implemented on the industry through, ironically, the Coalition's efforts to boost the economy.
As well as having to cope with spending cuts, construction has found itself at the heart of the localism argument as the Government has tried to simplify the planning system and place more power with local authorities.
After expressing his discontent with Labour's attempts to expand housebuilding, which slumped to post-war lows of 103,000 last year compared to a target of 230,000, Eric Pickles sought to enforce the Coalition's influence as swiftly as possible by scrapping Regional Spatial Strategies.
But this led to a policy vacuum as the introduction of council tax incentives for local authorities to approve developments had not been enshrined in law. Housing schemes got stuck in the planning system and Cala Homes won a series of legal challenges against Mr Pickles, claiming that local building targets should not have been scrapped without going through parliament.
The Home Builders Federation says the Coalition did not listen to industry warnings that a transition must be enforced slowly.
Steve Turner, spokesman, warned the industry had doubts about whether localism will work. "Most people believe there needs to be more homes built in the UK but if you ask the same people whether they want new homes built near them then the number will plummet," he said.
A drop in planning approvals is expected as the transition continues – although it is too early to judge the success of localism – but housebuilders are willing to be patient despite their frustrations.
Pete Redfern, chief executive of Taylor Wimpey, said: "We have said since before election that the system was not an effective system. Therefore, long-term change managed properly would be positive.
"We feel Government is doing a decent job with true vision."
This goodwill towards the Coalition has been underpinned by comments from ministers about the importance of capital expenditure to economic growth, and major projects such as Crossrail being preserved.
This has grown after the Chancellor's March Budget, which included policies designed to drive housebuilding and construction, such as a £250m shared-equity scheme for first-time buyers and a change to the planning system that will allow offices to be converted into homes without permission.
How long this goodwill and patience lasts will be determined by the success of policies such as localism and, ultimately, whether the Coalition can bring sustained growth to the private sector.
If this is achieved, then by the next election in 2015, Hindle and Jewson may be happy to talk politics again.

2019 Sprinter Factory Tour & Test Drive
Adventure Wagon was excited to attend the Mercedes Sprinter 2019 Debut event in Charleston, South Carolina last week. We were able to crawl all over various soon-to-be-released Sprinters and check out how the changes might affect our Modular Interior System. While there are many great new options and features, it appears at first blush that our system can be updated for the new model without significant changes. Driving the new Sprinter was a highlight of the day as the level of leading-edge technology packed into these vans exceeds most luxury cars including 360-degree cameras, automatic braking, giant touch-screen, and much-improved HVAC controls. The action-packed day also included a tour of the new Sprinter assembly plant with robots spinning, sparks flying, and new vans rolling through. It's still coming up to full speed, but they expect to employ 1300 people building Sprinters in the US by 2020. That's a lot of vans getting ready to go adventuring!

VIDEO: Underwater Glance at Refloated Concordia Wreck
One of the most challenging salvage projects in the history, both in terms of scope and budget, removal of Costa Concordia's wreck from the Giglio Island, has sparked considerable attention from across the world.
Be it for the innovative approach or combination of technology and ingenuity, the project has been in the focus, especially over the past few days when the official refloating of the wreck started.
The wreck is now afloat, raised 22 meters off the false sea bed, and it has been towed for about 30 meters eastwards.
However, if you are wondering about the state of the vessel beneath the hull, check out the following footage captured by VideoRay Pro 4 Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) released yesterday:
Several VideoRay ROVs observed every minute of diving, directing operations, and surveying and inspecting the wreck, working underwater 24/7. After two and a half years of near continuous use, the VideoRay ROVs recorded over 45,000 hours of footage during the salvage project.

Owners of a Christian bakery who were fined $135,000 for refusing to make a cake for a same-sex wedding are continuing their years-long legal battle against the Oregon state government.
Aaron and Melissa Klein, former owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa, filed an appeal with the Oregon Supreme Court last week, fighting back against the massive government penalty that they received from the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries, the state agency that handles non-discrimination claims.
Kelly Shackelford, president and CEO of First Liberty Institute, the legal firm that is representing the Kleins, said in a statement that the married couple are "entitled to the Constitution's promises of religious liberty and free expression."

New Raiders tackle Trent Brown: No pressure from record contract
Tackle Trent Brown said his agent called him minutes after the NFL's free-agent negotiating window opened Monday with an offer they couldn't refuse.
The Raiders wanted to sign Brown to a four-year deal. He would be with the team for its move to Las Vegas. Oh, and the contract would make him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL.
"I couldn't turn that offer down," Brown said.
Brown, 25, a seventh-round draft pick by the 49ers in 2015, said he "shed a few tears" over the implications of his deal, which reportedly is worth $66 million over four years with $36.75 million guaranteed. Brown officially signed the contract Wednesday.
Traded to New England before last season, Brown (6-foot-8, 375 pounds) started all 19 games (including playoffs) at left tackle for the Super Bowl-champion Patriots, protecting Tom Brady's blind side.
Brown started 16 games at right tackle for the 49ers in 2016. At training camp the next year, Denver pass-rusher Von Miller called Brown "the best right tackle" in the NFL. Brown played just 10 games in 2017, though, ending the season with a torn labrum. After the season, the 49ers dealt Brown and a fifth-round pick to the Patriots for a third-round pick.
In New England, Brown said, he thrived with "an organization who believed in me."
"A locker room full of guys that believed in each other, pushed each other — we worked hard as a team, no egos," Brown said. "And (my) confidence soared through the roof. I kind of felt disrespected about the trade. And I wanted to prove everybody wrong."
The Raiders allowed 52 sacks last season, tied for fifth most in the NFL, and played most of the season with rookies at both tackle spots (Kolton Miller at left, Brandon Parker at right).
It is unclear what side Brown will play with the Raiders — he said Wednesday only that he expects to be "put in the best position to help the team."
General manager Mike Mayock said Brown was the Raiders' top-rated offensive tackle in free agency.
"Regardless of whether he's a left tackle or a right tackle — we're not even going to address that today — the bottom line is we got way better on our offensive line," Mayock said Wednesday.
Brown said he expects there will be "more eyes on me" because of his contract.
"I don't feel any pressure," Brown said. "I've still got to go to work just like everybody else. I'm still a seventh-round draft pick."
Deal done: The Raiders also officially announced the trade of guard Kelechi Osemele to the Jets. Oakland dealt Osemele and a sixth-round draft pick (No. 196) for a fifth-round pick (No. 140).

This includes not breaking or destroying trees and different plants around the camping site for any reason.

38 Studios names, dates first project
EA-published Project Mercury redubbed Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning; single-player RPG due out in fall 2011.
Though its massively multiplayer title remains shrouded in mystery, 38 Studios today officially unveiled its upcoming single-player role-playing game. Formerly known as Project Mercury, the title will henceforth be called Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. It will ship in fall 2011 and will be distributed by Electronic Arts under its EA Partners banner for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning is being developed by Rise of Nations studio Big Huge Games, which was bought by 38 Studios in 2009. It will be an all-new intellectual property cocreated by comic-book artist Todd McFarlane (Spawn) and fantasy author R.A. Salvatore (The DemonWars Saga). Both men helped Hall of Fame baseball pitcher Curt Schilling found 38 Studios--then called Green Monster Games--in 2006 and respectively serve as art director and "executive creator of worlds" at the Maynard, Massachusetts, studio--which may move to Rhode Island in the not-too-distant future.
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning will be an open-world fantasy RPG in the vein of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. That is no accident. Its project lead is Ken Rolston, who was lead designer on Bethesda Softworks' acclaimed high-fantasy RPGs The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Oblivion. Several other Bethesda alumni are working on the project, as well as a senior designer from LucasArts' The Force Unleashed. Veterans of Civilization and Civilization II are also on board.
In conjunction with the name and date announcement, 38 Studios has launched an official site for its upcoming project, www.reckoningthegame.com. New details on the game may be announced at EA's studio showcase, the presentation for which will be streamed live on GameSpot later today. More information will be revealed at a special Comic-Con 2010 panel on Thursday, when the first trailer for the game will debut.
GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers.

"These are the second and third juvenile Humpbacks found dead on the Currituck Banks Peninsula in less than a week," said the post. "Another was found on February 12 north of Oregon Inlet near Nags Head."
Southern Sea Otter Population Improves
"We believe the high count this year is partly explained by excellent viewing conditions, but it also appears to reflect increased food availability in the range center," says Dr. Tim Tinker, a research ecologist who leads the USGS sea otter research program. "The boom in sea urchin abundance throughout northern and central California has provided a prey bonanza for sea otters, and that means more pups and juveniles are surviving to adulthood."
"entanglements have long-term negative physical and reproductive effects (on whales)"
Entanglements have surpassed ship strikes as a leading danger to right whales in recent years. Forty-four percent of diagnosed right whale deaths were due to ship strikes and 35 percent were due to entanglements from 1970 to 2009, the study said. From 2010 to 2015, 15 percent of diagnosed deaths were due to ship strikes and 85 percent were due to entanglements, it said.
Concern for Puget Sound Orcas
"Historically, at this time of year, we would see nice little bunches (of orcas) swimming back and forth in front of the house," said Ken, who lives on the west side of San Juan Island. But this year, the whales have broken up into small family groups and are traveling around in seemingly random patterns, presumably in search of whatever salmon they can find.
Protect Dolphins, Whales or Lose Access to U.S. Seafood Market
Each year around 650,000 whales, dolphins and other marine mammals are unintentionally caught and killed in fishing gear worldwide. Under the new rule, foreign fishermen must meet the same marine mammal protection standards applied to U.S. fishermen or their fish will be banned from the lucrative American seafood market.

Google Chrome is the most popular web browser in 2017 and Linux Mint, the most popular Linux distro. For those of you who're new to Linux, let's see how to install Google Chrome in Linux Mint 18.
Google Chrome is a proprietary app, so it is not included in Mint's repositories. You cannot use the built-in Software Manager to install it. Instead, we will use a bunch of commands to install it. The instructions below are applicable to any edition of Linux Mint including XFCE, Cinnamon, MATE and KDE editions. I'll use the XFCE edition.
To install Google Chrome in Linux Mint 18, open the root terminal and type these commands one by one.
echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/chrome.list wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - apt-get update apt-get install google-chrome-stable
Confirm the last command when prompted and Chrome will be installed in Linux Mint.
See the following screenshots of the whole procedure.
In the end, you'll find the Google Chrome icon under the Internet category of the apps menu.
It is worth mentioning that instead of Google Chrome, Linux Mint offers you the Chromium browser. Chromium serves as the open source code base for Google Chrome and its derivatives like Opera, Vivaldi and others. It has a user interface similar to Chrome however it lacks some features like Flash and PDF support out-of-the-box, but this can be fixed. It supports all Chrome extensions. If you do not want to install Google Chrome's proprietary package in Linux Mint, Chromium can be a good alternative for you. Linux Mint ships with packages to install Chromium using Software Manager. Open it and type "chromium" in the search text field.
Look for the line "Chromium-browser". You can click it and install the browser. Also, you can install both Chromium and Google Chrome simultaneously, compare them and decide which one is suitable for you.
That's it.

Today is the Feast of the Epiphany. We recall the story in St Matthew's Gospel about the Wise Men from the East who showed up to see and adore the baby Jesus, bearing their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. This was a very special event, but it was not the only epiphany.
According to the dictionary, an epiphany is an appearance or manifestation, especially of a deity. The Greeks spoke of the epiphanies of their pagan gods. In the Eastern Church the Feasts of the Baptism of the Lord and of the Miracle at Cana (Jesus' first miracle) are also celebrated as "epiphanies".
In addition to these epiphanies in the life of Jesus long ago, can we experience an "epiphany" today? I see no reason why Jesus cannot manifest Himself as Son of God today just as much as He did in the Holy Land 2,000 years ago. However, I believe that Jesus' epiphanies today are more subtle, and easy to miss. We need to pay attention and be open to these epiphanies.
There are times in prayer, or a liturgical celebration, or prayerful reading of Scripture, when Jesus reveals Himself. We may have a deeper insight into Him, or an intense feeling of His love, or a better appreciation of the gift of salvation He offers, and that experience is a type of epiphany. The wonders of nature, a family relationship, an experience of grace that leads us to go beyond ourselves in generosity or forgiveness, an abiding sense of peace, and in many other ways, we may get a glimpse of the reality of Jesus Christ, and so experience an epiphany.
We should not think of epiphany solely as three funny dressed guys with camels and most unusual gifts, but also an event that can happen to us, that we can experience in our lives here and now. Whenever and however Jesus reveals Himself, that is an epiphany.
So as we celebrate this feast please do not think of it as simply something that was long ago and far away. This is also a feast about us, and God in Jesus revealing Himself to us here and now. I believe that is the deeper meaning of the Feast of the Epiphany.
Happy Feast Day!

History of a Leader: Maurice D. Simard, Jr. to Retire at End of 2018
An excerpt from MoneyTalk, Fall 2018
History of a Leader: Maurice D. Simard, Jr. to Retire at End of 2018
Comment October 18, 2018 by Triangle Credit Union
After 32 years of serving our members, Maurice D. Simard, Jr., Triangle Credit Union's President/CEO, will officially retire on December 31, 2018. In our special Fall edition of MoneyTalk, we look back on his growth, accomplishments, and visions for Triangle's future.
A resident of Manchester for over 50 years, Maurice began his financial service career as a teller in 1973 at another local credit union where he quickly progressed to become a loan administrator, then Chief Operations Officer. Triangle welcomed Maurice as CEO on February 18, 1986 when the credit union managed $27 million dollars in assets, the operation of two branches, a workforce of less than ten employees, and over 5,400 members.
When Maurice joined Triangle, Ronald Reagan was the President of the United States, oil prices were collapsing, and US consumers were spending the most they had since the Great Depression. Throughout the decades, he led Triangle through exciting and tremulous times in the marketplace, such as the recession of 1990-1991, the economic boom of 1991-2001, the tech-bubble pop of 2000, and the housing market collapse of 2008. Through his creative, innovative, and strategic approaches, Maurice kept Triangle strong and profitable by supporting the development of new products and services to reflect changes in the marketplace and needs of the membership.
The aspect of Maurice's career of which he is most proud, is his commitment to supporting New Hampshire communities, non-profits, and credit union affiliated groups. He served as Chairman for TriCorp FCU (1996-2004) and the New Hampshire Credit Union League (1986-2014). Maurice became a member of the World Council of Credit Unions in 2008 where he currently advises the development committee and travels around the world to support countries that are establishing their own credit unions. Locally, he serves as a member of the Credit Union National PAC NH, the finance committee for Bishop Guertin High School, and as past board member and board chairman for the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua.
Throughout Maurice's 32 years as President/CEO, he has received numerous awards honoring his commitment to volunteerism. In 2008, he received the President's Award from the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Nashua, and later would receive its Man of the Year accolades in 2018. Maurice was also named Citizen of the Year by the Salvation Army of Greater Nashua in 2013, and was presented with the CU Co-Op Advocacy Award for the state of New Hampshire in 2016.
As Maurice begins his journey into retirement, he is pleased with the progress and results which Triangle has achieved during his tenure. Today, Triangle has grown to over $670M in assets, nine branch locations throughout southern New Hampshire, 170 employees, and 56,000-plus members. "Over the 32 years that I have been Triangle's President/CEO, we have grown significantly, and will continue to do so. I am proud of the progress and results that Triangle has achieved thus far, and look forward to watching the credit union's progress for years to come," said Simard.
We thank Maurice for his dedicated leadership, unwavering commitment, and wisdom – we wish him the very best in his retirement!

International Trade and Political Institutions
Instituting Trade in the Long Nineteenth Century
Fiona McGillivay, Iain McLean, Robert Pahre and Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey
Chapter 5: The Strategic Use of Ideas: Nationalizing the Interest in the Nineteenth Century
Fiona McGillivay, Iain McLean, Robert Pahre and Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey
Cheryl Schonhardt-Bailey 1. INTRODUCTION Politics is about choices and choices are about preferences. But, oddly enough, political scientists rarely question the genesis of preferences. Having borrowed heavily from economic theory, rational choice-oriented political science considers preferences to be intuitively self-evident. But are they? Few would disagree that economic interests are central to explaining preferences, yet several authors have started to identify the limitations of theories of political behaviour that rely solely on economic interests. Ideas and ideology are beginning to capture the attention of authors who are dissatisfied with the sometimes sterile and mechanistic framework of rational choice political science.1 But if rational choice can be accused of being sterile and mechanistic, so too can the ideas literature be criticized as woolly and unscientific. For those who accept the broader and less controversial proposition that interests and ideas (in some combination) determine preferences, the challenge of dissecting their respective influences is formidable. This study takes a small step in that direction by focusing on how interest groups use ideas to pursue policy objectives. I argue that some interest groups are able to nationalize their interest – that is, they use ideas or ideologies to gain support for their policy objective (support that is not available from interests alone).2 Interests-based approaches such as pluralism, public choice and élite theory all purport to explain why some groups are more successful than others in shaping public policy. For pluralists, larger groups are likely to enjoy greater success than smaller groups....

As mysterious as it is, the forest world will soon have no secrets. Designed to break through the forest, the Hut of Silver at Attignat-Oncin (73) is a discreet structure created by the agency Kuma & Elsa which offers an experience all in shadow and light.
While rural villages are more in direct contact with nature than their neighboring metropolises, they often lack amenities that bring people closer to a more sensitive and reflective experience of their wooded environment.
It is for this reason that the Community of Communes Lake Aiguebelette organized a contest in 2018 to introduce Attignat-Oncin - a small village of Savoie located in the Regional Natural Park of Chartreuse - a device linked with the very imaginary imagination of the huts of childhood, and the whimsical stories that populated this sweet time.
A challenge won by Kuma & Elsa, an international architecture and urban planning agency created by the Japanese architect Shohei Kuma and French-Spanish designer and planner Elsa Esobedo.
On this occasion, the duo designs the Hut of Silver, a wooden pavilion designed to accommodate walks, moments of meditation, strolling and resting the inhabitants of the village. With a privileged location in the heart of the village - between the church of St. Martin, the primary school and the town hall - the hut becomes an open living space and made available to the neighborhood and tourists.
Constructed of local pine wood, the stilt-roofed structure is dominated by a two-sided roof and has two vertical openings to the east and west, allowing the Hut of Silver to be bathed in light at dawn and darken to the rhythm of the course of the sun. These breaches open over the entire height of the pavilion and are extended inside by an elegant ridge beam made of silver foil.
The lightness of the pavilion is thought to recall the sybillin darkness of the adjacent church. In the middle of the forest, brightness penetrates the pavilion gradually, leaving the interior to communicate in a sensitive and progressive way with its wooded environment. The fine silver line transforms the vertical landscape into an abstract reflection, which responds with humility and accuracy to the forest atmosphere thus preserved.
A subtle introduction to the call of the forest!

Many of our Norwegian patients say that their scoliosis treatment options at home were quite limited. We offer an entirely exercise-based course that is designed around your condition and your treatment goals. Significant results can be achieved in just a few short weeks.
Over the years, lots of scoliosis patients have travelled from Norway to the Scoliosis SOS Clinic in London. Our ScolioGold treatment method is an appealing choice because:
- It often eliminates the need for surgery
- It can improve your posture and flexibility
- It can decrease your spinal curve by up to 20°
- You can continue improving your condition at home
Once your tailored treatment course is over, you will return home to Norway with a better understanding of your scoliosis, and having practised a range of exercises with our therapists, you'll be able to continue your scoliosis treatment independently.

Security and Privacy are two vitally important components of any successful society. Today's connected world, where we carry computers in our pockets and share all our details on social networks, makes them even more so.
This section of Pocketnow is devoted to why security and privacy are important, how you can protect yourself in today's connected world, and pitfalls to be aware of and avoid — with the objective of helping you and your loved ones stay safe in an ever-changing world.
Device security comes in many shapes and forms, each with its own strategy for mitigating threat vectors. A "threat vector" is "industry speak" for a particular way in which a bad guy can do bad stuff with your stuff. Vague enough? What are a few of those vectors, and what can we do to protect against them?
Physical Security
The first layer of device security is physical security. It actually covers quite a few areas which are generally shared between devices regardless of manufacturer or which operating system they're running.
Just like a good deadbolt can protect your house from someone forcing their way inside, a good pin or passcode can help secure the "front door" of your device. Typing a PIN or passcode in every time you turn on its screen can get tedious and time-consuming, so most of us either go without (which is like leaving your front door unlocked), or use a pattern, knock code, fingerprint, face or retina recognition. The latter two should be considered more like "identity" rather than "passcode" types of protection, but thanks to the way modern OSes have implemented them (requiring passcodes on restarts and every once in a while), they bear a little more weight than "identity confirmation" alone.
Next in this category, and also almost universally applied in modern devices, is on-device encryption. The filesystem of our phones and tablets are usually encrypted, meaning even if a person gets access to our hardware, unless they know our password, they cannot hook it up to a computer and browse our files. Laptops still need babysitting in this regard, but it's not too difficult to turn encryption on – though it does take a while to apply.
Last in this category are remote tools which allow you to locate a lost or stolen device, remotely lock it, or even remotely wipe it. Again, most of our mobile tech provides these options – as long as they still have battery life, are turned on, and are connected to a network to receive their instructions.
Malware is a term which describes an entire category of "malicious software": viruses, spyware, ransomware, etc. Some malware is sneaky and can infect our devices without much involvement from us – the end users – but some of it comes pre-installed from the manufacturer and in most cases cannot be uninstalled by anyone but the OEM – which they almost never do.
There's not much that we, as consumers, can do to protect ourselves against this. The best protection is to only buy unlocked (non-carrier) devices, and only from OEMs that we know and trust. (Sorry to throw you under the bus there, BLU, Huawei, ZTE, et al.) If your phone has a bunch of pre-loaded bloatware installed on it, return it, get your money back, and tell the sales person that you want something that isn't' pre-loaded with a bunch of stuff that you don't want. And, OEMs, we've been saying this for years now, you've had your chance to do the right thing, we're done waiting and we, the Power Users, are taking things into our own hands.
As for legitimate infections, the fact of the matter is, statistically, up-to-date systems (regardless of OS) don't get infected unless you're engaging in specific types of risky activity. We talked about whether or not you need to run a mobile antivirus suite on your smartphone or tablet in an earlier Security and Privacy installment.
Google has a very good protection strategy in place called "Google Play Protect" and recently published their year in review for 2016 regarding Android security. Unlike their competition, Google goes a step further thanks to the way in which apps are run inside the Android OS: sandboxing.
Sandboxing is yet another critical layer of security for the Google Photos app. It ensures that our users' private photo and video libraries are kept safe on their devices and provides peace of mind for people to trust our app with their lifetime of memories.
— INDRAJIT KHARE Tech Lead & Manager of Google Photos, Android
While no solution is completely foolproof, and it's disappointing to see OEMs preload malware (either ignorantly or deliberately) on their devices, the trend is finally turning toward more secure devices which are easier to use, with most of the real security happening automatically, with little to no interaction from us, the end users.
We still need to be vigilant with our activities, babysit our OSes and apps to keep them patched and up-to-date, and still need to use more secure communications (like VPNs and encrypting communication methods), but as we do more of all those individually, the safer all of us will be.

There is no profession that draws more praise and more criticism than that of journalism. The jobs are exciting and the pace is fast. If you have even a little bit of writing ability, you can parlay your skills into a journalism job with just a few short years of formal journalism training. Here's how to break into this growing field.
To the public, the journalism professional represents the last bastion of truth and perspective left in our capitalist society. To the government big wigs and high profile athletes and entertainers that are constantly the subject of news features, the journalism professional is a nuisance. In either case, being a journalist is an exciting job, to say the least. Here are some of the major employers of journalism professionals and the job opportunities that they offer.
Journalism Job Options: Paper or Plastic?
- Newspapers. Most journalism majors are employed by various newspaper outlets. And because most newspapers are offering online versions of their product, this will increase your chances of employment considerably.
- Magazines. There are magazines that represent virtually every interest and vice you can think of. If you have a special interest, getting a job with a professional magazine publisher allows you to immerse yourself in the topic.
- Web Reporting. The arrival of the Internet has changed the journalism profession considerably. Writing for the web is a perfect way to cut your journalistic teeth before joining that big time newspaper staff.
The Occupational Outlook Handbook provides a robust summary of the state of the journalism profession. Opportunities abound for those candidates who are willing to be trained and put in their time building a resume. Here's what you can expect as you enter the field of journalism.
Journalism Career Profile: What to Expect
- Investigation. Reporters investigate leads and news tips, examine documents, observe events at the scene, and interview people to find the heart of the story.
- Employment. Competition will be tough for jobs on large metropolitan and national newspapers. Look for opportunities with small-town and suburban newspapers as you begin your career.
- Earnings. The median annual earnings of reporters and correspondents were $31,320 in May 2004, with the middle 50% earning between $22,900 and $47,860.
For an all-access pass to the biggest events in our society, you must earn your journalism training from an accredited program. The jobs are out there waiting for you. Find out more today.

I know a cat who loves her humans very much…
… and sometimes brings them gifts.
Cats have a way of always becoming the centre of attention.
They literally take centre stage like the stars they are by sleeping on top of boxes and papers and other objects that humans thought they were going to use at that moment.
Last weekend I went to visit my parents (and their cat and dog) and I've been drawing heaps of friendly pets since then. Here's a selection:
My parents' pets are in a love-scratch relationship (the dog loves the cat and the cat scratches the dog in its big drooling face).
I drew these beasts individually on paper and then gave them a bit of digital editing (and put them together two and two).

Buy lol account, NA & EUW both regions are in stock ! Unlike other websites that resell accounts from other people, ours are made exclusively with intention to be sold. Accounts come with Lifetime Warranty against recalls, in addition to two weeks warranty against ban for third party software use.
Four Years Selling in League of Legends.
Open the capsules and keep the champions you play, disenchant the rest to get blue essence (influence points). Scroll bellow for everything we have to offer. We first started our business in 2014 working with games such as League of Legends and other similar mobas. While other websites were betting their business on buying and reselling accounts from other people, we had a different plan in mind. Although many sellers will claim lifetime warranty against recall on their accounts, the reality is much different. Original owners that sold the accounts to other websites can always reclaim them if they file their case with riot, and most of the times win the case. This however cannot happen with us. Reason being – the accounts dont belong to anyone prior sale, and in addition have unverified emails. No previous owner, and made specifically to be sold ! Read more in details about this in our F.A.Q. bellow, and how to distinguish between these two types of accounts.
Cheap LoL Smurf Accounts !
When it comes to price, we are unmatched compared to other AA websites ! Years of trading and selling has taught us that keeping the price low is one of the most important aspects of any online buying and selling businesses. Accounts are available for both NA and EUW regions, come with level 30 and good amount champion capsules ( replacing the old Influence Pioints system).
Although cheap in price, the accounts come with lifetime warranty against recall and 14 days warranty against ban.
Why Buy at D3Hell.com ?
We plan to do this for a living for as long as we can! This whole gaming business started as a hobby to us, a couple of friends that decided to offer gaming services and have some fun while paying our studend fees. As time went by more and more people decided to use both our knowledge and gaming exeperience. Well, one thing led to another and as time went by our hobby became our profession, and gaming became a way of life 😀 We didn't made it this far by not staying true to our word, or offering poor service to customers. At D3Hell you are dealing with people that will always strive to take gaming to the next level !
Why Smurf with League of Legends Account ?
People buy LoL Account for a number of reasons. Perhaps you want to try a new hero, either focus on an entire new role, or simply for fun. Being stuck in High/Low elo is something nobody wants. Here we offer people a cheap alternative to try this game from a different point of view. Experiment with non-meta builds, take a break from your main, or simply have fun with friends in lower ranks !
Keep in mind tho, our accounts are not immune to riots rules. Flaming, ill behavior, in addition to foul language will impose the same restrictions from Riot as it would on any other accounts. Always remember to keep good sportsmanship and fair attitude towards your teammates no matter the situation.
League of Legends Gameplay
Every now and then people just want to relax and stomp public games like there is no tomorrow. And this is where we come in. Buy cheap league accounts and gang up on the noobs. All the accounts are unranked and level 30. Open the champion capsules and jump into calibration right off the bat !
If you are wondering what role to try next, Assasins are probably the best champsions to smurf with. Pantheon, Fizz, Katarina, Kha zix and more, open the capsules jump into the game !

To do so simply login on website and under account details change the email first, then password. All accounts come with unverified emails so you should have no problem changing info to your own. Also keep in mind that Riot does not like people trading accounts, so stay bellow the radar, open tickets only when you have to and be polite in game. If you accumulate massive amounts of reports and force a manual review by staff you mind find your self restricted from playing.
Details and short F.A.Q.
Simple, click the buy now button and adjust quantity if you want to buy more than one. After adding to basket proceed to the checkout page where you are asked for email first and last name. There is no need to register but we need email so we know where to send the account. Proceed to paypal and complete the payment. After purchase account is auto delivered within less than a minute to your D3Hell.com checkout email.
All the accounts we sell in any game (LoL, CSGO, Diablo 3 and so on) are made with intention to be sold. They have no previous owners and come with lifetime warranty against recalls.
We offer lifetime warranty against account recall/reclamation and 2 weeks warranty against ban for botting. We do not cover ban for toxicity, account compromised or any other reasons that are as result due to seller's actions.
After receiving the account, login and check the inventory. You will see no skins, champions or any other valuable assets that might belong to a real person besides the champion capsules. All the accounts are level 30, unranked ( 0 ranked games played) and own no champions.
Login and change the email first, visit https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/ League of Legends website and change email and password under the account section.
On purchase accounts have enough capsules so when you open them and sell the champs you will have the advertised or more BE. You can even keep some of the champs you like instead of selling them for blue essence.
Yes, although all the accounts come with descent login/summoner names ( nothing asdasd123 like ) you can always get new name in exchange for some BE or RP.
Accounts are leveled playing against real people and have descent winrate. Bans usually happen during leveling. Once level 30 there is a good chance they will never be banned.
From our 4 years experience in selling League of Legends Accounts we've learned that massive banwaves come every 4-6 months. If caught in one simply contact us, we will do all we can to help.
Usually after big banwaves we decide to introduce some weekly discount codes, or if we have a promotion going, watch out on the front page for any, we will make announcements on top of the page as well.
Paypal offers their services worldwide. Although our main curreny is in $, paypal will autmatically convert your balance to USD when buying.
League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Riot Games for Microsoft Windows and macOS. On this page you can buy lol account, get league of legends smurf cheap !

Early Friday evening, Mrs. YHT and I met up with Bandmate 4eva Doug, his wife and guest poster Gormie outside the Squirrely Gates of The Diamond and headed inside to watch the Richmond Flying Squirrels do battle with the Altoona Curve.
For three of us, it was our first game of the year. But for Doug and his wife, who recently moved back to Richmond after a few years away, this was their first time seeing the Squirrels (and their spectacular marketing team) in action. I was practically giddy. OK, whatever, I was giddy. I get a huge kick out of showing newcomers the clever branding, squirrel puns and general silliness. Some of that has to do with being fond of bad jokes, some with the fact that my day job is in marketing, but mostly it's because I derive a sense of pride from what baseball in Richmond has become. I like being able to say to people, essentially, "Look at what we have here! Isn't this great?!?" It's a flattering (I think) reflection of what our city looks like at its most creative and enthused, and I can't help feeling lucky and proud.
I feel the exact same way about No BS! Brass Band.

We thought it was about time to check in with Curt Roberts at Nevs for a little bit. We learn about what he's been up to latest with his modelling, about microwave dinners and his secret sexy racing driver skills. Oooh you say... read on to see what he's on about.
You can also remind yourself about Curt latest fabulous shoot with Cecilie Harris in "The Keepers" here.
Yo Curt, what have you been up to since your fabulous Boys by Girls shoot with Cecilie?
I have been up to loads of exciting things since! I've done my first campaign in Amsterdam for Meltin Pot, an editorial shoot for Topman Magazine and a video editorial for Doc Marten shoes.
Who is your favorite photographer to work with and why? (It would be very appropriate to say Cecilie due to her kindness on your shoot, but if you want to mention someone else we'll let you off still.)
I would have to say my favourite photographer would be Cecilie Harris. Cecilie is fun and relaxed to work with and let's you put your own ideas and input into the shoot. Also Darren Black as he was the first photographer I worked with and has helped me a lot in the modelling world ever since.
What are you up to when you're not working?
When I'm not working I'm usually chilling round London with mates or at the gym.
Give us 3 random Curt facts.
Errrm I'm Welsh and proud.
Before I started modelling I was a professional racing driver.
And embarrassingly I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan! haha
If you were to cook us a three-course meal what would you make?
If I was to cook a three-course meal I don't know what it would be, but all the courses would have to be made in the microwave as I would probably burn the house down!
What's the most romantic thing you've ever done for someone?
I'm not the romantic type, but always treat the ladies with respect and just be a gentleman, as there isn't as many as there should be these days.
(BBG: Awww...... It's ok, we'll think a three course microwave dinner was well romantic.)
If you were to invent a new TV series, what kind of series would it be and what would it be about?
It would have to be a series similar to the only way is Essex, but based in Ruthin which is my home town in North Wales. There are some strange and funny characters there.
Who's your biggest hero ever and why?
My biggest hero would have to be my Dad. He's not just my Dad, but my best friend. I wouldn't be where or who I am today if it wasn't for the help of him and my family!
What inspires you?
I'm rely inspired by Elvis Presley. I base my dress sense and my hair on him. I hope one day to be just half as successful as he was. And be just as popular with the ladies! haha
What makes you laugh?
The thing that makes me laugh the most but cringe at the same time would have to be when I'm in a bar or a nightclub with my mates, and I see some lad trying to chat up a girl and it's just not happening.
We can't wait for Curt to invite us over for a super fancy microwave bankquit of a meal. You're popular with us Curt, erm... just like Elvis?
