Fitness to Teach
All universities must ensure that entrants have met the Secretary of State's requirements for physical and mental fitness to teach. Newman takes great care to ensure that whilst all candidates meet the requirements for entry to initial teacher education it does not discriminate against disabled candidates, in either the selection procedures, requirements for progression and completion of training, or provision of services.
Teaching is a demanding career and teachers have a duty of care towards the pupils in their charge. The health, education, safety and welfare of pupils must be taken into account when deciding on an individual's fitness to teach. There are a number of factors taken into account when deciding whether a candidate meets the requirements for fitness to teach. Many disabled people or people with chronic illnesses may be able to teach with reasonable adjustment, just as non-disabled candidates or those without medical conditions may be unsuitable to teach. If you would like to discuss Fitness to Teach please contact:

Open Access Symposium 2016
I was so excited to attend this year's Open Access Symposium at Stony Brook, held in the beautiful Wang Center, on October 25th during Open Access Week. I had the pleasure of designing the symposium website, logos, program and other materials for the day-long event and it was so wonderful to see everything come together. The symposium attracted librarians, scholars, and information professionals from all over New York to Stony Brook's campus and featured influential speakers, engaging discussions, and inspiring ideas about the future of open access and scholarly research.
Opening remarks from @darrenlibrarian #sbuoa2016 #OpenAccessWeek @SBULibrary pic.twitter.com/Xd4JczPLKT
— Dana Lynn October 25, 2016
It opened with remarks from Chuck Taber, who is the Interim Provost and Vice Provost for Graduate and Professional Education at Stony, and Dean of Libraries Constantia Constantinou (read by Darren Chase). The first keynote speaker, Justin Peters, began the day's lively discussions with a thought-provoking address on "The Past, Present, and Future of 'Guerilla Open Access'." Justin is a long-time Slate correspondent and the author of The Idealist: Aaron Swartz and the Rise of Free Culture on the Internet (which I purchased immediately after the symposium - can't wait to read it!). His talk explored the evolution of copyright, scholarship, and the movement toward making information accessible for all.
After an enthusiastic Q & A and a short coffee break, everyone returned to the Wang Theater for the panel discussion "At the Intersection of Open Education and Edtech." Moderated by Ms. Laura Costello, the panel featured speakers from the edtech and library scenes and detailed some of the benefits and drawbacks of tools intended to facilitate learning. Panelists included Brian Sweeting, Emily Gover, and Claudia McGivney.
Next up was a fascinating panel on the Digital Humanities, moderated by Kate Kasten. Panelists included two Stony Brook professors Elyse Graham, Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities, and Jennifer Anderson, Associate Professor of History. The panel explored some of the widespread challenges and misconceptions in the digital humanities as well as offered a glimpse of what the future may hold in terms of open scholarship.
After a delicious lunch in the Wang Gallery, everyone returned to the theater for the second keynote address, given by Jennie Rose Halperin, Communications Manager at Creative Commons. Jennie's address, "Information Imperialism and Research Utopias: What If Sharing Research Isn't Really Stealing?" examined the concept of information imperialism and other nuances of access.
The final panel discussion, titled "Open Science and Data Visualization" explored the scientific side of open access and explored different data visualization techniques using platforms like Tableau. The panel was moderated by Darren Chase and Clara Tran, with panelists Kevin McDonnell, Research Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stony Brook, and Sung Gheel Jang, Director of the Geospatial Center at Stony Brook.
Shafeek ended the symposium with a few motivating remarks, emphasizing the importance of open access and the role we have as scholars to share our research and promote education.
Below are the two posters I designed for the event which were displayed in the Central Reading Room during Open Access Week!


text:
- The Catalan government decided to go ahead with the referendum and asked citizens to attend the different polling stations.
- Due to the weak intervention of the regional police, national police (Policía Nacional and Guardia Civil) deployed in Catalonia following orders issued by public prosecutors and judges, acted to close polling stations throughout the region.
- There were clashes throughout the day between the police and people in the street and polling stations, with more than 800 injured according to the Catalan authorities.
- The central government repeatedly asked the Catalan authorities to stop the referendum.
- The voting took place without minimum guarantees (no electoral board, no ordinary electoral administration, voting without envelopes, voting on the streets, technological failures, changes in the rules one hour before the opening of polling stations, etc.).
- The results of the referendum lack credibility due to the lack of guarantees. Nevertheless, as announced by the President of Catalonia, Catalan authorities will go ahead with a unilateral declaration of independence. From a practical point of view, such a declaration seems very difficult to implement considering there is no legal framework and more importantly, that the Catalan finances are intervened.
- If the unilateral declaration of independence takes place, the national authorities could activate the remaining measures such as article 155 of the Spanish Constitution. This article allows the central government, following Parliament's approval (which is granted by the Popular Party's overall majority in the Senate), to take all necessary measures to compel an Autonomous Community to meet its obligations or to protect the general interest. In doing so, the government may issue instructions to all the authorities of the self-governing This option has never been used to this day and could therefore present difficulties in its implementation.
- Upcoming days and weeks will be critical to find out if a political solution could be reached. However, the social fracture within the Catalan society as well as political tension between national and Catalan authorities will make institutional relations very difficult to be restored. The central government's stability for the coming months appears to have been compromised as it will struggle to find the support it needs to approve key measures such as the 2018 Budget Act.

Banana, Chia and Superfoods Delight [Dairy free, Gluten free, Grains free, Sugar free, Vegan, Vegetarian]
At least once a week, I include healthy chia seeds in my food preparation, more often, in my breakfast or dessert puddings, which provide a filling and nutritionally dense meal or snack, which is very desirous to me. Struck by egg fatigue this morning, and thinking of what to have for breakfast, over a cup of strong black coffee to kick start my day, I thought of this amazing tasting dairy and sugar free vegetarian delight that I call my Friday the 13th Epiphany 🙂
A combination of banana, chia seeds, nut milk and superfoods powders, provided a brilliant breakfast option, and also brought me out of my self-imposed banana drought. I'd bought a bunch of very fresh green-tipped bananas 2 days ago, and noted that they'd just turned fully yellow this morning – yellow enough and quite firm to the touch too, providing the ideal state for this fabulous tasting mix. I loved that the banana was not too sweet, or overipe and sickly sweet and it brought back fond memories of how my dear late mum would insist on only eating bananas when it was at this stage of ripeness – ripe and ready perhaps? 🙂
This was a very simple make. My chia working prowess served me well in putting together this recipe. While I used sugar free almond milk, which may be replaced by coconut milk. I'm confident that water will work equally well, as would dairy milk or yoghurt, should you include this in your meal plans. Warming cardamom powder, which may be interchangeable with similar warming cinnamon or ginger powder even all spice, as preferred, worked brilliantly in combining with the flavours of acai and matcha.
While I used superfoods powders of stoneground green tea Matcha and Acai berry powders, unsweetened cocoa powder or raw cacao powder may be used too, if you prefer a chocolate taste. Protein powder, if you use it, will work well too. You may need to add in non-refined sugar raw honey for a sweeter taste option, if using raw cacao powder.
Being mostly a Green tea drinker – I don't drink ceylon teas, I gravitate to Matcha often. Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is special in two aspects of farming and processing: the green tea plants for matcha are shade-grown for about three weeks before harvest and the stems and veins are removed in processing. During shaded growth, the plant Camellia sinensis produces more theanine and caffeine. This combination of chemicals is considered to account for the calm energy people might feel from drinking matcha. The powdered form of matcha is consumed differently from tea leaves or tea bags, and is dissolved in a liquid, typically water or milk.
I use the berrylicious tasting Acai berry powder often too, in my dairy free shakes, smoothies and puddings. Organic acai powder (or acai berry powder) is made from freeze-dried acai berries: super-fruits with tremendous health benefits. Acai berries have more antioxidants than almost any other fruit and contain high levels of essential fatty acids, samino acids, and dietary fiber.
The former information is beneficial for those who don'tknow these superfoods – and as we become more aware of how readily available these superfoods are, we need to consider including them in our healthy lifestyle meal choices.
The recipe below is easy and simple, and may be made a few hours before eating, refrigerated for a refreshing foodie option as we rapidly enter the hot South African Summer.
1 medium to large banana, just ripe but firm – green tippped works well too.
3-4 tblsp chia seeds
½ cup cold water
¼ cup almond milk or coconut milk, unsweetened
1 tblsp acai berry powder
1 tbslp matcha powder OR raw cacao / unsweetened cocoa powder OR wheatgrass powder
a sprinkling of cardamom OR cinnamon powder as preferred
Raw nuts and desiccated coconut for garnish (I used pistachios and raw almonds)
Here's How
- Add the water to a small glass bowl, then add in the chia seeds and allow it to sit for 15 minutes to allow the chia to swell and reach gelatinous consistency.
- Peel the banana and slice. Using a hand held immersion blender in a bowl, or a free-standing blender, blend the banana until a thick liquid state is reached, add in the nut milk of choice or water, then the chia seeds, and blend / pulse for up to a minute, until the banana, chia and liquid is well combined. You may add 1-2 tablespoons of desiccated coconut to this mix too.
- Decant the mixture into a medium sized bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, remove the now "set" chia mix from the refrigerator and divide into 2 or 3 equal portions. You will require 2 or 3 small bowls.
- Add in the flavouring (cardamom powder or your preference) and a tablespoon each of acai berry powder / matcha powder / cacao powder, and spoon mix each chia bowl well to evenly distribute the powders.
- Using a dessert bowl or wide drinking glass, layer each chia layer as desired. For this recipe, I used three layers, the base being acai berry powder, the middle, just the banana and cardamom chia, and the top layer, matcha green tea powder.
- Garnish with raw nuts and desiccated coconut.
- If eating immediately, use your spoon to gather up each layer, so there is a beautiful combined distribution of taste that entertains your palate 🙂
Enjoy 🙂

Cyberpower has also done an exemplary job of cable tidying, with even the smallest cables tucked away neatly, clasped and/or braided, and angled cables used where appropriate. Everything considered, it's one of the neatest builds we've come across, and though the red video card, blue motherboard, orange SATA cables and green RAM sticks go about as well together as Smarties and asparagus, you won't usually get to see it all as the Three Hundred case lacks side windows.
As already mentioned the Infinity i5 Achilles XT uses Intel's Core i5 750 (socket 1156) CPU, which is our favourite processor because of its amazing value for money and overclocking potential. Not that many games will come even close to taxing this quad-core chip at stock speeds (2.8GHz Turbo-clocked), but Cyberpower has overclocked it to 3.6GHz just in case – in fact we read 3675MHz. This might seem a little conservative compared to the 4GHz speeds found on many i5 750 machines, such as the tiny and brilliant Cryo Nano, but it should still be plenty so that you're never left wanting. It's cooled by a massive XtremeGear HDT 120 Xtreme heatpipe cooler with its own rubber-mounted detachable 120mm fan sporting dimpled blades, which keeps the Core i5 below 70 degrees even under the heaviest loads.
As usual for a PC these days, the CPU is backed by 4GB of RAM. Specifically you get 1,333MHz Geil RAM in two plain sticks without heatsinks – essential here since the CPU cooler's fan barely clears the closest DIMM as is. Of course the 64-bit version of Windows 7 is on hand to take full advantage of all that memory, and aside from a very attractive custom Cyberpower wallpaper the install has been left nice and clean. This also leaves most of the spacious 1TB Samsung SpinPoint F3 to host your precious games and other apps.
Just like its case, the motherboard used here is an old familiar, since it's the same Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 Micro-ATX model found in Cyberpower's previous budget offering, the Infinity i5 Hercules SE. While this does leave the case's interior feeling very roomy, expansion potential is somewhat limited as the custom cooler on the Powercolor graphics card takes up two extra slots! This only leaves one full-length PCIe slot free, though you can forget about installing a second graphics card for some CrossFire action, since it only runs at 4x. Again, while we would make a fuss about this in a PC at the £1,000 mark, at this PC's price point it's not really an issue.
The rig is powered by a Cyberpower-branded 950W non-modular PSU, which is frankly far more power than this system needs.

A/N: I'm proud to announce that this is my sixtieth story. Wow.
After my weeks upon weeks of not posting and taking a break after finishing two stories, I decided it's about time I get something good out there.
I hope everyone enjoys this delicious angsty-romance.
I do not own Twilight.
"She moved in with her boyfriend I heard."
"No, I think her parents kicked her out and then her boyfriend dumped her."
"She's pregnant I think. You know how her dad is always giving those teen pregnancy lectures."
"Oh my God… still, her boyfriend's a hottie."
"I know, and a college student."
I shut out the gossiping once and for all with my headphones and turned up the song that was playing until I couldn't hear the shameless giggling anymore. Unfortunately, it was classical, so the pauses in between piano notes let the flow of high soprano voices through. I changed the song quickly and focused on my math homework instead.
Every single day I heard the same damn things muttered over and over again and they were really starting to get to me. What happened to silent study halls on Wednesdays? God, I hate substitutes.
Something went whizzing by my head and my eyes snapped up to Tyler Crowley laughing, his nostrils expanding. I didn't have to hear him to know that he probably just snorted. I looked to my right to see a shredded Romeo and Juliet book on the ground.
"What the hell?" I whispered and pulled out one of my headphones.
I pulled up the book and flipped back the front cover. It was like a yearbook, except the friendly 'see ya next year's' were replaced with words like 'douche bag' and 'whore'. I breathed in a shaky breath and looked at the back of the mangled book to see my name scratched out with 'Isasmella Whore'. Hmm, creative.
I threw the book in my bag and pretended it didn't bother me even though I'd had that book since seventh grade. Certain quotes with sentimental meaning were circled in it by my former friends and by my mother.
I glanced at the clock on my iPod and thanked God there were only seven more minutes of class left. I finished writing out the formulas so I could complete the problems easily later on and lined up all the papers neatly in organized stacks before putting them in my backpack. I watched the clock as the seconds hand glided along the numbers until the minute hand was on three.
"Thank God," I murmured and walked out the room as fast as I could.
Even if my next class was worse than a study hall I was glad to get away. I didn't think I had much fight left in me to defend myself or my current situation.
I stuck to the right side of the hall, my shoulder touching the painted brick wall. I kept my iPod on and ignored some of the people who looked at me or the groups of people standing in the hallway. Stay away from groups of people at all times, I thought and sped my walk a bit.
Ignore it.
"Bella Swan," the voice chirped again and this time I couldn't ignore it because it was right next to me.
"Oh, hey, Jessica," I said sheepishly. "I didn't hear you." I took out a headphone but she didn't seem to care.
"What's going on?" she asked with too much enthusiasm. "We haven't spoken in weeks!"
"Yeah, I know." Because all you do is give me funny looks and talk about me behind my back.
"What's going on? What's up?" She grinned at me, oblivious that she was completely blocking the walkway with her overstuffed bright pink backpack.
"I'm on my way class." I moved to the side and began to walk slowly, hinting that she could follow me if she wanted to.
"Oh, right! Ew, I really hate chem."
"So what's up?" she asked again, but this time there was an edge of impatience in her voice.
"Not much," I answered flippantly.
"Oh, come on, Bella." She laughed like I had told a joke. "Seriously, you're a really interesting person. There has to be something going on."
"Jessica, have you seen my Romeo and Juliet book anywhere?" I looked straight ahead at the hall in front of me but Jessica's rambling cut off short. She didn't speak for several moments.
That's what I thought.
I turned into the chemistry room and took my seat in the back. I hated sitting in the back; I couldn't stand looking over peoples' heads to take notes, but I also couldn't stand the looks that bore into my back.
If you give high schoolers the ammunition they'll sure as hell use it.
"Do you think she knows?" I heard Jessica ask Lauren when they took their seats across from me.
"Who cares," Lauren answered, glaring at me.
Indeed. Who cares.
I turned my attention to Mr. Banner, who was writing out pool chemistry formulas on the board. I copied them down and focused on anything but the side conversations in class.
Approximately forty three minutes and twenty two seconds later, the bell rang and I nearly jumped up from my seat. Just one more period to get through and then I would be free for the rest of the day.
I jumped over someone's foot, dodged hallway traffic and made it to the girl's locker room in time to change for gym. I got there before the bell rang and before all the other girls strolled in. Ignore, ignore, ignore…
I made it out of the locker room before I could hear any more and I smiled triumphantly. That was far less worse than I had expected. I made my way up the stairs and to the gym where Coach Clapp was passing out dodge balls to the boys.
"Damnit," I cussed.
"Girls on the bench, boys on the court!" Coach Clapp yelled.
I saw on the bleachers far across from the other girls. I was like a plague to them, and even though they were the ones who were ultimately confrontational, they kept their distance from me. For that I was grateful.
The boys started to throw the balls at each other; some of them would bounce off others and fly towards the bleachers. The girls would all scream, throw their hands out, kick the ball down, repeat.
I watched with mild interest and smiled a bit when Tyler tripped on his shoelace and took down his own teammate with him. They got up and stomped to the side with others, waiting for someone to catch the ball and get them back in.
Mike Newton and Eric Yorkie were the last two standing, flinging balls at each other and trash talking like there was no tomorrow. With their tiny, homoerotic gym shorts and aggression for touching balls it was like a soft core porno.
Mike threw a ball at the floor and it bounced up to hit Eric in the chest. Eric flipped him the bird, got scolded, and then stomped off to where Tyler was.
"Girls on the floor!" Clapp yelled over the groaning females.
I walked down the bleachers after all of them, finding myself as the last girl picked by Jessica Stanley's team—which was just fine, considering the other team captain was Lauren—and stood in the back trying to avoid any form of contact, ball or person.
Some girl with straight black hair whaled the ball at Jessica and she squealed loudly. I smiled a little and looked back at the other side. A ball came rolling down the floor and bounced into my shoe so I walked off to the line of girls who were out.
After watching a boring round of "Don't let it touch my hair!" the game finally ended and the boys were called back down.
I couldn't even watch it this time, and I actually settled for listening to inane gossip about who was hotter than who. Mike beat out Eric, but Quil Atera was hotter than Mike by double, and then they started to fight about who would be better in bed and I zoned out completely.
What should I make for dinner tonight? I wonder if ravioli would be okay. I've been wanting to try out that new recipe for the marinara…
"Alright. Go change, ladies," Coach Clapp gave the confirmation. I jumped out of my seat and down the bleachers to the gym doors.
"Wait!" I turned around at the sound of Clapp's voice, but instead of middle aged wrinkle lines I saw a red rubber ball coming straight at me.
I snapped my eyes closed and felt it hit the side of my face. My foot stepped back and I fell off balance onto my butt. My wrist hit the door on the way down and I groaned. Several people erupted into laughter and Clapp started screaming at Tyler.
I sat up and tried to ignore the shooting pain in my arm and the tears in my eyes, but those were more from embarrassment than anything else. I ran out of the gym and down into the locker room to change, finding a note on my locker that said 'whore' in bright purple letters.
I threw it to the ground and pulled on my jeans and shirt before running out of the locker room to the front of the school.
A silver car was parked in its regular visitor's spot. I saw the driver's head leaning against the headrest and I made my way to the passenger's side. When the door popped open his head snapped to the right.
"You're early," he said.
"Yeah, gym let out early," I mumbled.
"Everything alright?" His tone dropped and he looked at me with sincere worry.
This is the one person who cares…
"Yeah, I'm alright,"
"Your arm…"
"I fell, the usual." I smiled but he didn't take the bait. His hand touched my wrist and he felt the bone. I winced when he pressed on the bruising skin.
"Really. I'm fine, Edward," I said. And I was—now, anyway.
His green eyes met mine and he sighed while running his hand through his disheveled copper hair before he started the car. I held his hand the entire ride, relaxing in the scent of him and his car—our car I guess, but it really was his.
Everything I owned was his in reality. It had been like this for a while now, ever since I moved in with him five weeks ago. He didn't see it that way, but I did.
And so did everyone else.
A/N: If anyone can give a guess as to what this is about, or has a prediction, I'm always open to questions and will most certainly give answers.

Islamic State driven out of last stronghold in northern Iraq
Government forces defeat jihadists in Hawija as they deal with Kurdish independence push

Iraqi forces announced on Thursday they had captured Islamic State's last stronghold in northern Iraq, leaving the militant group holed up near the Syrian border as its self-proclaimed "caliphate" shrinks further.
The town of Hawija and the surrounding areas fell in an offensive by US-backed Iraqi government troops and Iranian-trained and armed Shia paramilitary groups known as Popular Mobilisation.
Some fighting took place to the north and east of the town where the militants were surrounded.
With the fall of Hawija, which lies near the Kurdish-held oil city of Kirkuk, the only area that remains under control of Islamic State in Iraq is a stretch alongside the western border with Syria, where the militant group is also in retreat.
The capture of Hawija was a boost for the Iraqi government, which faces a separate crisis in the north of the country, where the Kurdish minority last month voted overwhelmingly in support of independence for their autonomous region.
In Hawija, state TV showed footage of Iraqi forces raising flags in one of the town's squares while Humvees patrolled empty streets littered with car wrecks, houses riddled with bullets and shattered storefronts.
"The army's 9th armoured division, the Federal Police, the Emergency Response division and . . . Popular Mobilisation liberated Hawija," said a statement from the joint operations commander, Lieut Gen Abdul Ameer Rasheed Yarallah.
Thick black smoke rose from areas surrounding Hawija, from oil wells set on fire by the militants to prevent air detection.
The capture of Hawija brings Iraqi forces into direct contact with Kurdish Peshmerga fighters who control Kirkuk, a multi-ethnic region claimed by both Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).
Kirkuk shaped up as a flashpoint last month when the KRG included the city in the referendum on Kurdish independence in northern Iraq.
"We don't want any aggression or confrontations but the federal authority must be imposed in the disputed areas," Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi told a news conference in Paris with French president Emmanuel Macron.
Mr Macron offered to mediate between the Iraqi government and Kurdish regional authorities, and promised to maintain a military presence there until Islamic State, also known as Isis, was defeated.
The Iraqi government has imposed sanctions in response to the independence vote, but Mr Abadi said he could understand the Kurds' "aspirations", provided they were expressed in accordance with the constitution.
The outcome of the referendum has raised concerns in Iraq and abroad that a conflict might break out there along ethnic lines, potentially weakening the campaign against Islamic State.
Turkey, which is battling a 30-year insurgency by its own Kurdish militants, has led regional opposition to the Iraqi Kurds' independence hopes.
Stepping up his rhetoric on the issue, president Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would soon close its border with northern Iraq and shut its air space in response to the referendum.
He added that Turkey, Iran and Iraq would jointly decide on closing the flow of oil from northern Iraq, a vital source of earnings for Iraqi Kurdistan.
On Wednesday, Russian president Vladimir Putin, whose country has big energy interests in Kurdistan, said it was in no one's interest to cut off oil supplies from the territory.
But Mr Erdogan said that "if a decision will be made on closing oil taps in the region, that will be made by us. Turkey, Iran and Iraq's central government will do so together."

Designers: Robert Dougherty and Chad Ellis
Publisher: Your Move Games
3 – 5 Players, 1 – 2 hours
Review by: Greg J. Schloesser
I frankly don't know much about Your Move Games, but was happy to have the opportunity to play and review a couple of their games. The two that I received – Succession and Space Station Assault – both appeared intriguing, and I was immediately impressed by their professional appearance and components. That is a good start!
Succession follows a similar storyline as King Me, a Mayfair / DaVinci games title. The aging king realizes that his time on this earth is approaching its end, so he is seeking a successor. Five major candidates are in contention for the throne, and it is the player's job to make sure they have the most influence over the candidate who ultimately rises to the throne.
Each player assumes the role of a character in the fantasy kingdom, each of whom has a special power which can assist him in his quest to be the "power behind the throne". This power is depicted on an extremely large player mat, which also depicts a drawing of the character and five tracks which record the influence the player has in each of the five candidates.
The center candidate board depicts tracks for the five candidates, each numbered 1 – 10. If any of the candidates reaches the goal of "10", he/she ascends to the throne and the player with the most influence on that candidate emerges victorious. Candidates each begin at a specified location on their respective track, with some being closer to the throne than others. However, each candidate also has a special characteristic that can affect his progress towards becoming king. For example, Ulysses – the king's son – begins at level "7" on his track, just three short spaces away from the throne. However, his nickname is "useless", and he loses two steps on the intrigue track each time he drops a space. So, he can plummet fast. Arianna, on the other hand, is the king's daughter, and as such, can generally do no wrong in his eyes. Whenever she gains in standing, she increases by two levels. Further, she can never drop more than one level as the result of an intrigue. Her drawback? She begins at the lowest possible level – the "1" space – on the ascension track. It seems the king has a difficult time envisioning his little girl as leader of the kingdom!
The driving force of the game is card play. The deck consists of three main types of cards: events, influence and intrigue.
Event cards: These are used to enact the specified action listed on the card. A player may play as many of these as he desired on his turn.
Influence cards: These depict a numerical value ranging from 4 – 9 and are used when casting a vote during an intrigue.
Intrigue cards: These cards represent "rumors, scandals, and good reports", and are used to call a vote which will affect one or more candidates either favorably or unfavorably. In addition to flavor text, each card will also list the card's effects, provided it is approved by the players. Generally, this has the effect of increasing or decreasing one more candidates standing on the Ascension track. Each intrigue card also has an influence value, so it can be used in the course of a vote instead of being played as an intrigue card. Further, some intrigue cards indicate that money cannot be used during the subsequent vote, while others double the value of money used as votes.
Whereas money management is critical in many games, card management is essential here. Players begin the game with four cards, but usually only draw one new card each turn. Thus, if a player expends numerous cards during the course of his own turn and during the cycle of elections, he will soon find himself depleted of cards. Conservation is a key concept, and deciding when to play the cards and which elections to influence are critical decisions.
While card play is the driving force, negotiation and deal-making is the game's heart and spirit. A flurry of offers and deals are discussed during the prior to and immediately after the intrigue votes. Players will attempt to make deals when a vote is pending, hoping to buy or sell their votes for various considerations. After the vote players will again attempt to make deals to convince the player who has the privilege of assigning credit or blame to assist or hinder certain characters. Money, cards, future considerations – all are currency in the negotiation process. While the negotiation process is very open-ended and fluid, it can also be time consuming and cause the game to bog down. Indeed, this is the game's biggest stumbling block, as the constant series of negotiations grow wearisome.
On a player's turn, he follows the following sequence of play:
Draw. The player may either draw one card and continue his turn, or discard his entire hand of cards and draw four new cards. If he chooses the latter option, his turn ends immediately after drawing his four new cards and he takes no further actions. This is harsh, but is sometimes necessary if a player has only one or two cards – or none at all – or if the cards he does possess are not advantageous.
Patronage. Each player collects income based on their influence in the various candidates. This amount increases as their influence with the various candidates increases, and is clearly listed on their player mats.
Main. Card play. Players may play, in any order, as many event cards as they desire, and one intrigue card. Event cards may be played both before and after an intrigue card is played, but generally not during. Some cards require the expenditure of money in order to be played.
Once an intrigue card is played, players will then vote on whether the effects of the intrigue card should take effect. Prior to actually recording their votes, however, players are free to negotiate and make deals in order to swing the vote in the direction they desire, and target the candidates who will be affected by the card's effects. At some point, players will actually vote. This is done by each player recording on paper whether they are in favor or opposed to the motion, as well as how many votes they are casting. Influence cards, intrigue cards and money can be used for votes, but since there can be as many as five votes per round, players must expend these resources wisely.
If an intrigue vote results in its passage, the effects are enacted. Usually, this means the player who initiated the vote gets to increase or decrease the standing of one or more candidates. The candidates who are affected must be determined prior to the actual voting.
Once the appropriate candidates standing on the Ascension chart are adjusted, those candidates who were affected are going to give credit – or blame – to someone! For each candidate affected, the player who cast the most votes in the election gets to decide which character will gain or lose standing in that candidate's eyes. This will generally result in yet another round of negotiating and offers, as players attempt to gain credit and/or avoid blame. After offers are accepted, the controlling player then assigns credit and/or blame to the players whose offers he accepted.
An example is in order. Let's say the "You're my Hero!" intrigue has been played and the subsequent vote has resulted in its passage. The player who played the card will then get to increase one candidate's standing by two levels, and decrease another candidate's standing by one level. Which candidates are affected will have been determined prior to the actual vote, and, of course, would have resulted in intense negotiations and usually the exchange of considerable wealth and perhaps cards.
Continuing our example, let's say that Archie the Bishop increased in standing by two levels, while Galahad the Worthy Knight decreased by two levels. The player who cast the most votes – whether or not he was on the "winning" side – will get to assign credit for Archie, and blame for Galahad. This, of course, will generally result in that player being able to extort handsome offers from the other players, who are eager to gain influence in Archie, and hopeful to avoid a decrease of influence in Galahad. The offers and counter-offers are made, until the controlling player accepts the ones he desires. At this point, one player is allowed to increase one level of standing on the Archie track on his player mat. A less fortunate player loses one level on the Galahad track on his player mat.
Once a player has played all of the event cards and/or one intrigue card he desires, play then passes to the player on his left, who repeats the same turn sequence. This cycle continues over and over again until one candidate reaches the "10" space on the Ascension track, or until the deck of card is depleted.
If the game ends with a candidate reaching the "10" space, the player who has the most influence in that candidate is victorious. Ties are broken in favor of the player who has the most voting power remaining (influence, influence and money).
If the game ends with the card deck depleting, than the candidate who is closest to the throne is named king. The winner, as above, is the player who has the most influence in that candidate.
It is fairly well known that I tend to enjoy deal-making and negotiation games. As such, I am pre-disposed to enjoy Succession. And, to a degree, I do. The relatively open-ended nature of the negotiations provides room for clever negotiation tactics and creative offers.
This deal-making process is intriguing and fun – up to a point. The problem is that it is SO open-ended that they can go on and on and on. I could not locate a target time listed on the game box, but the games in which I have been involved have all lasted 2 hours or more, which is FAR too long. The "twice-per-player turn" negotiation process grows tiresome, and most folks are ready to abandon the game at about the 1 ½ hour point. It is the same feeling I get whenever I play Traders of Genoa. It simply contains too many negotiations.
Fortunately, the designer, Chad Ellis, has recognized that this could be problematic, so the first variant suggests using a timer for negotiations. Although I generally do not enjoy using timers in a game as I feel they give the process a "rushed" feeling, there are a few games in which they are useful and appropriate. Diplomacy, Machiavelli and Advanced Civilization are three such games. Perhaps this is another one.
The concepts here are interesting, and the free-wheeling negotiations can be amusing. In addition to the negotiations and deal making, there are many decisions to be made in terms of candidates to back, cards to play, money management, and more. There is also opportunity for clever plays and maneuvers by properly timing the use of the cards you possess. Sadly, this all comes crumbling down due to the sameness of each turn, and the constant repetitiveness of the negotiations and deal-making. It is simply TOO much of a good thing. If the negotiations could be controlled with a time limit without adding too much of a "rushed" atmosphere, the overall experience will likely be far greater. I am just not willing to give the game any further play time.

Art Link's first day as Christopher Newport's head football coach wasn't until Feb. 1. Right in thick of recruiting and six weeks before spring practice began.
His first step was assembling a staff. In doing so, Link wanted to reflect his identity while remaining true to the Captains' tradition.
Link was able to retain three members from the previous staff — defensive coordinator Jay Kirland, inside linebackers coach Mike Costa and strength/conditioning coordinator Jonathan Dean. Two of his hires were Scott Fahey and Taylor Loudan, seniors on last year's CNU team.
"I just felt like I wanted to keep that connection," said Link, whose team began preseason practice Friday night. "It's good to have guys who know where this building is, where that building is, how we do this. I wanted to get all the good in that."
CNU's new assistants are offensive coordinator Landon Mariani, offensive line coach Will Orbin, special teams/secondary coach Mark Powell, receivers coach Corey Headley, tight ends coach Brett Guminsky, Fahey and Loudan.
"I just feel like we're all working together on the same page," Link said. "Nothing to take away from the other guys, but we're all in together now and really excited about the direction we're heading."
Link knows he's taking over a program that is on solid footing. In 2015, their first season in the New Jersey Athletic Conference, the Captains finished below .500 for the first in the program's 15-year history. But in '16, CNU rebounded with a 7-3 finish, 6-3 in the NJAC.
Several key players are gone, including Loudan and Fahey. But there's plenty returning, like quarterback K.J. Kearney (2,272 passing yards, 18 TDs last year), Kyree Burton (115 all-purpose yards per game), linebacker Brennan Gary (83 tackles, 17.5 for a loss), and cornerback Justus Drakeford (three interceptions, two returned for TDs).
The offense will have a new look with the spread attack as its base. Kearney, who during a two week stretch last season completed 54-of-74 passes for 755 yards, appears well suited for that style. And though Loudan is gone, Joshua Davis, Danny Mattson, Khiry Weaver and Burton are back.
"K.J. has a presence about him, a confidence about him," Link said. "Josh Davis is sort of a hybrid guy — you'll see him play some wideout and some tight end. Kyree Burton will be like Reggie Bush —we can use him in the slot and at tailback.
"And we have Jordan McIntyre at running back, who hurt his hand last preseason. He's an extremely dynamic player. We can have some formations that can be a problem for some people without having to take too many guys off the field."
Defensively, CNU has switched from a 4-4-3 to a 4-2-5. The secondary returns four starters — cornerbacks Drakeford and Tyrell Noel, safety B.J. Hill and rover Andre Toran. Up front, end Mark Aanstoos and tackle Chris Coggins are back.
And Gary will anchor the linebacker position.
"The secondary is our strength going into the season," Link said. "We have some experience back there. We have some athletes."
Do they have enough to compete in the NJAC, which has two teams ranked in the preseason top 20 by d3football.com?
Wesley and Frostburg State, who tied for the '16 conference championship and advanced to the playoffs, are picked first and second in the NJAC. Salisbury, Kean, Rowan and CNU are all coming from winning seasons.
"You're looking at five or six teams that can vie for the title," Link said. "I certainly feel like we have some of the athletes needed to compete in the league, so I'm excited about who we are and what we have going in and how competitive we can be.
"At the same token, you look at some of those teams and what they do on tape, they present from issues. We definitely have our work cut out for us to win the league, but we're definitely excited about what we have from an athletic standpoint."

FASHION | Making Sense of the New Renaissance/
Have you ever had a moment, when you're scrolling through fashion show photos at the end of a season, perhaps searching for new work clothes or spring wedding attire, and amidst layers of mismatched clothing, plastic dragons posing as accessories and construction-wear inspired sets, think to yourself, What exactly am I supposed to do with this?
I can definitely say that my experience in fashion editorial has taught me to not take a silk, jeweled, five-pound turban too seriously. Trend Forecasting at the end of each season, I've had more than my fair share of' The Devil Wears Prada moments; I'm just as confused as Andy was when she was unaware that her seemingly blue sweater was, in fact, Cerulean.
As fashion weeks have concluded, and fashion's biggest night of the year came clad in stained glass dresses and headwear inspired by the heavens, it's clear that this season is about rebirthing Catholicism as we know it. We're taking it's enchantment, and it's power and combining it with strong women and artful design. It's a modern day Renaissance if you will, but how do we make sense of it all? Here are seven ways to incorporate it into your life.
1: Hair Accessories
Headbands no longer mean channeling your inner Blair Waldorf — instead bring forth the Sofonisba Anguissola in you. (Quick history lesson: Sofonisba was a late Renaissance painter and was the first great women artist. Can you say #goals? But however they would have said it in the 15th Century.
2: Take a Trip to the Powerhouse of the Renaissance
On the off chance that the scenery in Call Me by Your Name didn't instantly propel you to abandon all responsibilities and book a ticket to Northern Italy, we think the town of Mantua should be top on your summer list. Mantua is known by Italians as La Bella Addormentata — translation: Sleeping Beauty. Translation: No tourists, incredible architecture.
3: Take up a New Hobby
There's nothing like a fencing match or an archery class to relieve stress and give you a sense of power. If that sounds too intense, don't worry, card games were a major part of the Renaissance too. For those of us in New York, I've done the research, check out the best places to pursue your hobby here.
Board Games & Alcohol
4: Corsets are the New Spanx
Gone are the days when corsets were a life-threatening item, and perhaps the start of the whole "fashion is pain" conundrum. Now we can simply throw them on instead of having them tightened by a whole team, because who's got the time anyway?
5: Make Velvet a Year-Round Staple
There's no reason such a rich, cozy material should be restricted to winter - defy the norms of seasonal dressing and wear velvet year-round. Bonus: it's probably on sale.
6: Throw a Sunday Roast
Eat like the nobles and make Sunday Roast a weekly gathering. Trade the grand dining room for a friend's rooftop and the chalice for a red cup. What's on the menu? Beef roast, pasta, pastries, and for those of you who think side dishes are an American custom, you can actually thank the first king of France for them. Merci, François.
7: Stained Glass
Thanks to contemporary artists, stained glass is still prevalent in modern art and architecture. Brooklyn based artist, Tom Bruin, is known for his large scale stained glass installations. His work has shown in exhibitions across the world; so if you're looking to mix in some culture, we strongly suggest checking out his upcoming shows.

R2-D2 and I were invited to join the festivities which included many great give-a-ways. Local radio station KISS 94.5 was broadcasting on site and made many mentions of R2-D2 being there. We had lot of kids stop by and the looks on their faces were amazing.

Access to legal counsel is a fundamental right of every citizen in a democratic society. Cozen O'Connor is committed to helping ensure that universal access is a reality. Since our founding in 1970, we have dedicated tens of thousands of attorney hours to pro bono representation of indigent individuals and charitable institutions. Central to this work is our belief that pro bono clients are just that — clients. And like all clients of this firm, they get sophisticated, tenacious, and responsive legal counsel.
The Pro Bono Program is supervised by a full-time Director of Pro Bono Engagement who handles attorney outreach and assignments; builds a referral network of bar associations, public interest law firms, nonprofits, and government agencies; and oversees budgeting and institutional research. Those efforts are supported by members of the Pro Bono Committee in offices across the country who disseminate information and foster relationships with local public interest organizations.
Cozen O'Connor is a signatory to the Law Firm Pro Bono Challenge of the Pro Bono Institute and strives to provide 3 percent of billable hours to pro bono clients every year. We are steadily increasing the percentage of attorneys providing 20 or more hours of pro bono service per year, the average number of hours per lawyer per year and the total number of pro bono hours worked annually firmwide. Between 2016 and 2018, Cozen O'Connor climbed 32 places on The American Lawyer's annual pro bono ranking of the nation's largest law firms.
Our pro bono program, like all of our practices, is entrepreneurial, flexible, and attorney-driven. We ask attorneys to consider their interests, passions, skills, and schedule in order to identify appropriate and tailored opportunities for pro bono service.
Because attorneys drive their own pro bono practices, Cozen O'Connor's pro bono portfolio is varied and expansive. We have attorneys working in jurisdictions across the nation on matters related to immigration, child custody, LGBTQ rights, women's rights, civil rights, veteran's rights, housing, the arts, education, religious freedom, and more.
Here are some of the ways that Cozen O'Connor attorneys are making a difference.

Outlaw Emotional Abuse & Bullying of Children by Adults like Katie Rich of SNL / NBC
This petition had 65 supporters
Recently an SNL writer named Katie Rich posted and deleted an inappropriate tweet about Barron Trump. There are many other inappropriate tweets up about him on Twitter. Adults should know better than to take their feelings about a parent, in this case Donald Trump, out on a child. Someone like Katie Rich and others on twitter have a big platform to bully anyone not only children. SNL routinely makes fun of Trump, Putin and their supporters in a highly biased way. However, children should be off limits because their brains are still developing (ie their prefrontal cortexes aren't mature yet) so it is very easy to make a big impression on them. This is one of the reason why it so easy for children to learn languages. And it is a reason why adults may not be academically smarter than a 5th grader. And this is a reason why marketing of products and movies to children is so highly successful. Therefore, their malleable and impressionable minds need to be protected from unnecessary harsh experiences such as personal bullying by adults.
We will never be able to rely on adults to self regulate themselves against child bullying. To date Katie Rich has not apologized for her words. She did make her twitter account private but there is no indication of whether or not this is a sign of true regret and understanding that her words could cause the child a lifetime of hurt. People from all faiths, ethnic backgrounds, sexual orientations/identities, genders and etc. should protect children from all type of abuse including verbal. Just as civil rights sometime come before the majority accepts them, so should child rights. You'll never see a 1,000,000 child march on Washington. But what you can find, if you look, are millions of testimonials from people like me who were bullied as children and then profoundly affected by it as adults. In the case of my grandma, she was affected by it until she died at age 77. If adults don't have the moral compass to protect instead of bully kids, it is time for laws to protect them.
The fact that NBC and SNL did not immediately condemn or even address the bullying words of Katie Rich is an indication that adults do indeed lack a basic moral compass and sense of decency about how children should be treated. Some people have become so blinded by their political views that they ignore bad behavior on their side and only criticize bad behavior on the other side. (This was done by host Aziz Ansari who went after bad word from Trump supporters while ignoring the bad words that often come from liberals against Trump supporters.) It isn't an issue to be politicized. All creeds, colors and etc. type of people are guilty of it. And it is unacceptable no matter what your political beliefs are. If Meryl Streep is angry about what she talked about at the Golden Globes, how much angrier should she be now? (Moreover, she previously gave a standing ovation to Roman Polanski who had sex with a 13 year old which is an act that cannot legally be consented to) Aren't children more helpless than the disabled especially an award winning reporter? Don't Katie Rich, SNL, and NBC have a bully platform?

Cats are active animals that love to play outside. In the process they can meet some very unsavoury characters. Today we are going to be talking about external parasites; things like fleas, ticks and mites.
Fleas are the most common of the external parasites that affect cats. Adult fleas live on the cat, laying eggs on the fur. These then fall off into the environment around the cat. After a few days these eggs hatch into a larvae, which hide in the carpet, cracks in the floor or any soft furnishings or bedding. They feed on dust and the droppings of adult fleas. After feeding for a while the larvae develop a cocoon, in which they can survive for several months. After this time they will hatch out of the cocoon as an adult flea and find a suitable host to feed on, even if it's you! This is when the lifecycle starts again. Adult fleas can live for up to 3 months on the host, feeding and laying eggs.
Ticks are another parasite that commonly affects cats. They feed on blood and may attach onto a host for several days. They can spread disease through the saliva they secrete while feeding. Ticks develop in the environment and can survive for years in their immature form. They like to live in areas where there are wild animal to feed on during their development, especially forest, grass and moors. Your cat can pick up ticks while walking/hunting around these areas.
Many types of mite affect cats. These include ear mites, sarcoptic and demodectic mange and cheyletiella. These are less common parasites of cats but can still cause significant skin disease in your cat.
All these parasites can easily be prevented/treated with parasiticide treatments, available from reception at any of our surgeries. If you have any questions about which treatment is best for you and your cat our staff will be happy to advise you – please contact one of our branches at Hook Norton , Charlbury or Deddington.

Catering Quotes Wantirna South Vic
8 Insider Tips For Choosing the Right Caterer In Wantirna South
When it comes to the things that can make or break an event, few are as essential as the quality, flavor and appearance of the food and beverages you serve. A lot is riding on your choice of which caterer to work with, and if you think this decision really isn't really that important, look at it in this manner, remarkable catering can save an occasion that's on the rocks, however bad catering will generally send out guests to the doors.
In addition, due to the fact that catering is frequently the # 1 or # 2 line-item cost for many events, the catering service you select is also a significant budgetary choice and can influence how much money you have actually left over to spend on other areas depending on food costs and quantities.
Include that catering services can vary drastically in their pricing and the types of meals and services they provide, and the process of picking a catering service can figuratively and actually seem like you are comparing apples to oranges.
# 1 Responsiveness And Individual Interest In Your Needs
Of all the event and catering professionals we talked with, this showed up over and over and over again, mainly since how responsive and interested a catering service is during your preliminary conversations is indicative of how they will carry out during the length of their agreement with you (and more on agreements later).
A prospective caterer needs to be finding out as much as they can about you in your very first couple of conversations with them, so you must anticipate them to be talking and asking questions about 20% of the time and you providing responses and detailing your needs about 80% of the time.
# 2 Ability To Manage Your Specific Kind Of Event In Wantirna South 3152
Not every catering service is perfect or every kind of event, and numerous caterers themselves openly confess this.
So when interviewing your Wantirna South catering services (and you must speak to at least 3 caterers for any occasion with a reasonable spending plan), you need to be specific about the type of occasion you are planning and the kind of food and/or presentation you are expecting. Otherwise, you may wind up selecting a caterer who simply isn't an excellent fit for the type or style of your event.
Almost every caterer has a basic menu or menus to choose from, and many do provide some level of built-in versatility to adapt these menus to your specific needs by replacing specific items and/or tailoring others.
However, the standout catering services will surpass standardized menu choices and want to develop amazing fare that matches much more specific style and dietary requirements.
# 3 Determination To Provide Tastings
How will you ever understand exactly what a caterer can do unless you sample their goods? And more specifically, how will you know exactly what the menu items you are thinking about will taste like unless you particularly attempt them?
Some people shy away from asking to sample the specific items they desire for their event due to the fact that it seems like a trouble for the caterer, but it is standard to request for a tasting of exactly what you are intending to order prior to you sign on the dotted line.
In addition, you can request wine parings for these tastings if they are appropriate for your occasion (once again, be prepared to pay a cost, it's a small price to pay to guarantee you select the ideal caterer). And when you are sampling the food, also take care of how it is presented, as any caterer who puts in the time to properly display a sample will probably be most likely to make that sort of effort on your event day.
Are you an event manager who needs to manage catering information, budget plans and projects?
Or are you a catering service who has to track propositions, invoices, meal choices, inventory and other customer information?
# 4 Familiarity With The Venue
You may remain in for a surprise if you work with a BBQ take-out joint to cater a formal ballroom charity event. Or if you choose a high-end business occasion catering service to serve a barn wedding. Why? Since these caterers might not be accustomed to preparing and serving food in such a setting.
This can get even more particular depending upon limitations of the location itself, like when it comes to museums and historical sites.
Even more traditional venues can likewise have constraints that catering services must follow, like particular setup requirements or disposal constraints for waste food and water, so having a catering service that recognizes with a location's rules can potentially save you great deals of trouble on event day.
# 5 Complete Explanation Of Services/Goods Promised In The Contract
The catering service's agreement must clearly define precisely what food, drinks and services the catering service will be supplying on the designated day( s). Moreover, it needs to secure you from non-performance as much as it secures the caterer from non-payment/default, so you might wish to think about having a lawyer} take a look at it before you sign it.
Every detail needs to be included in the contract, consisted of selected menus, number of servings and/or individuals to be served, beverage/bar service details (if relevant) and all pricing and extra services.
No caterer in Wantirna South with a shred of self-respect and scruples participates in a contract with plans to bail at the last minute, however you have to ensure there is a cancellation clause in your agreement simply in case your catering service needs to cancel.
You do not want to be left without recourse with only days or hours prior to your occasion, so simply make sure cancellation procedures and penalties remain in place so you do have a backup strategy.
# 6 References You Can Call and Speak With
Naturally you will need to look into the caterers you are considering, and it's always great to start online and check out sites.
Nevertheless, do not stop there, as online reviews are not always trusted (or perhaps authentic); for instance, a great catering service may have had a few nightmare/hater customers who skew their scores, while a genuinely average catering service might have padded their online reviews. So see if you can track down some previous clients of the catering services you are considering and reach out to them.
# 7 Insurance
Every catering service we spoke to called insurance protection "a given" for catering services, and you definitely do not wish to legally be on the hook for some oversight or accident that was the fault of your catering service.
# 8 A Skilled Chef and Kitchen Staff
Remarkably, how long a catering business in Wantirna South has been around might not be as important in selecting a terrific catering service as you might think.
So make certain to inquire about the chef's bona fides and CV since he or she will probably be the one most responsible for the result of the meal and whether your guests enjoy it or not.

Unboxing and honest review of the Kawaii Box (October 2015)
*This review contains a giveaway! Enter at the end of this post for your chance to win a free Japan Candy Box for yourself!* Giveaway ends on December 9th, 2015.
Growing up addicted to Japanese culture as a child and teenager, and then falling in love with Korean culture as a young adult, I was super happy to have the opportunity to partner with Kawaii Box, review their product, and host a giveaway. I was so excited about getting my Kawaii Box in the mail. I waited, and waited, like a child who counts down for Christmas when it's Halloween. Yes, I'm a fully-grown adult woman and mother of a toddler and I like cute things, toys, gadgets, videogames and anime! Sailormoon was, and I believe, still is my idol.
Before my review sample arrived, almost everyday, I would go home anticipating the arrival of my October 2015 Kawaii Box!! It took a while for the shipment to come through, and the box had a long journey flying over here from Asia...
Initial Impression (KAWAII!!) 4/5 PANDAS
The box was a little smaller than I thought it would be. I really wish that it came as a squarish box. When I think of gift boxes, I think of nice cubic boxes. The box itself was a bit worn from its travels and that's fine. I love how it's branded. Very kawaii (cute in Japanese) and very feminine. I don't know how young boys and guys would feel about this box...
Unboxing Fun: 4/5 PANDAS
You get 10-12 surprise items in each Kawaii Box. Each month, the box comes with different items. My October 2015 box came will 11 different items, three of which are candy, and two of which are plushy-ish (the bunny pencil holder and the cat coin purse). The box was easy to open and the surprise items were hidden by a Kawaii Box branded tissue paper. The items were neatly stacked and with each unveiling, I held my breath!
Variety of Items: 4/5 PANDAS and Appeal to the Masses: 3/5 PANDAS
I have no complaints about the variety of items included in this box. I really liked the candy selection, even though one of them is a pink poop lollipop. There was another lollipop and a Meiji make your own Sushi Gummy set. Very yummy and very sticky. The sushi gummy disappeared into my belly in minutes. You have a mix of items that will appeal to females, young and older. I'm not sure if this set would appeal to males, though Phil, who is a little over two now, did like the sparkly cell phone jewel stickers. He made a masterpiece out of them, see below.
Usefulness of Items: 3.5/5 PANDAS
It's hard for me, an adult, to find uses for every one of the items. But I guess it's a little unfair for me to judge, especially when this box is intended for a much younger audience. I also wished there was a theme to this box. I just don't know what the theme is, other than a bunch of cute random items boxed together. Honestly, I think I would have loved the September 2015 or August 2015 boxes even more!
I really wished for Hello Kitty and Rilakkuma items in this box, but I don't think any of the items were Sanrio or Rilakkuma related. Also, Alpacas! That's surprise boxes for you though! You won't know what you'll get, you won't like everything in them, but you'll be pleasantly surprised and have fun as you're unboxing.
Final Thoughts and Score: 3.7 out of 5 PANDAS!
A theme for the boxes each month will make it even more appealing. For instance, was this month's theme nautical? There were fish stickers. Sushi candy. But then there's also a cat and a bunny. And a pink-poop-shaped lollipop! Personally, I would have loved opening a cubic box even more. But I can see the love Kawaii Box has put into this product. There are personalized touches every where. It's a pleasure to unbox the Kawaii Box. It's super-appealing to younger kids I'm sure, so if your child is a huge fan of Japanese culture and products, why not get her or him a box or two to try it out? This box definitely made me yearn for Tokyo and Japan, and I'm all nostalgic now! Make sure you scroll down and enter the giveaway!!
Giveaway! Sponsored by Kawaii Box
Back story and disclosure:
Thank you Kawaii Box and Mika for sending the October 2015 version of the Kawaii Box. Other than receiving this sample box to review, I was not financially compensated for this 100% honest post. The opinions I've published are completely my own, based on my experience. Kawaii Box is responsible for all prize distribution.
