There has been an interesting ruling in the Maryland Court of Appeals recently, where the court reversed the conviction of a Salisburyman sentenced to life in prison for a 2003 rape case just because, it was alleged, the DNA sample which put him behind bars was obtained "illegally". Well you can imagine the law enforcement and DNA lobby being up in arms in total disgust, while the American Civil Liberties Union ACLU is delighted with the 5-2 ruling. The Police in fact obtained King's DNA profile when he was arrested in 2009 for unrelated first- and second-degree assault charges and was properly convicted for those offenses. A DNA sample was taken from King at the time of his 2009 arrest, and when the information was entered in the state DNA database, the evidence linked him to a second 2003 rape case. The second conviction ensured he would stay in jail a good while longer!
Now personally I have always found it bizarre that juries, who are often deciding on a knives' edge whether or not someone is guilty of a serious crime, are not allowed to know about any previous convictions for similar offences committed by the accused.
I understand how this is meant to keep individuals objective and impartial about the case in front of them while on jury duty. But I can't help thinking such 'in the dark' jurors must feel pretty sick, when they find out later from the media that the accused got away with a similar offenses in the past and may endanger future lives while back on the streets because of their decision based on an incomplete picture of the accused's past.
So even though I have been campaigning for more than 5 years about the removal of DNA profiles of innocents from UK NDAD, in effect a crime data base, I have less of a problem with the police running a brief check against this same data base during the brief window of opportunity that exists after a justifiable arrest for certain listed serious crimes only. Not for misdemeanors mind you! I also feel strongly that when the police clearly must have realised they got the wrong end of the stick, or a court tells them so with a 'not guilty' verdict, they should without delay restore the presumption of innocence for the wrongly arrested that exists for all other citizens. They should also issue sincere apologies and not act like sore losers out to get the falsely accused at some future time. That only loses them respect from the communities they are meant to serve and often confirms their small minded prejudices against such communities. There is a reason why ethnic minorities are over represented in police DNA data bases and it's not because they statistically commit more crimes!
It is a good thing this Maryland case seems to be headed for a review by the U.S. Supreme Court, for what could be a landmark decision. I hope that when the dust is settled, the baby will not be thrown out with the bath water in America. DNA is a useful forensic tool, but it can also be a dangerous tool in the hands of lazy or prejudiced law enforcement personnel and over-ambitious right wing politicians. Especially those who have seen too many episodes of CSI and think it's all true….
Fact is all biometric identity systems become less effective the more records you load in them. They become diluted, as more marginal criminals or even innocent people are included in it. There are more opportunities for error; the larger the database gets, the greater the chances are of 'false positives' and partial matches with innocent people." If you don't believe me enter the search term 'Birthday Paradox' in WikiPedia and read up on the mathematical explanation for this phenomenon. Never trust people who say something is 100% reliable. When people are involved human mistakes are easily made as we are starting to see with some spectacular recent DNA police blunders.

KOLLYBUZZ TALKIES – The sequels and spin-offs of Kollywood's latest 4 sensational heroes
KOLLY BUZZ SPECIAL – Four Hits, Four Heroes, Four sequels-Spin-Offs
A complete imagination as it turns up towards the peak of fascination. Over the past couple of weeks, there have been certain movies, which instantly captured our interests. This includes Mani Ratnam's Chekka Chivantha Vaanam, Pariyerum Perumal, 96 and Ratsasan. Well, a real film maniac is someone, who just gets self-propelled by envisaged conceptualizations. So here are some of such craziness sprinkled here.
Chekka Chivantha Vaanam
This could be either a prequel or a sequel. Prakash Raj's role as Senapathy didn't have much prominence in the film as he breathes his last by the end of the first hour. Now if it's going to be a prequel, it could be the rise of Senapathy from his childhood and the biggest appeal would be to see which among the three actors – Arvind Swami, STR and Arun Vijay will play his younger version. In other aspects, the spin-off character of Resul (played by Vijay Sethupathi) can be carried forward to another mission.
Pariyerum Perumal
Yes, the film has an open ending climax, where the protagonist doesn't profess his love to his friend. It may proceed towards the next level in their relationship in sequel with Pariyerum Perumal becoming a lawyer and gets involved in a nationally sensational case.
By the end of the film, we get to see that Vishnu Vishal gets back to his dream job of filmmaking as he solves a murder mystery involving a psychotic serial killer. Now that he is been approved to make a film based on the same psychological thriller that he worked for 12 years, the twist in the sequel can be placed this way. Yet another series of murders happen in the city and this time, it's far more complicated. Everything happens as same as written by the protagonist in the script.
Well, this can't be a sequel. Even if there is a sequel, it could be nothing but the relationship that blossoms between Vijay Sethupathi and Varsha, who plays his student. We happen to see Trisha silently discussing few things with Varsha in the coffee shop. Maybe, she would have revealed the truth that everything that she told was an imagination and took a promise to win the heart of Ram.

Solidarity Federation
On 16th December 11 anarchists were detained in Barcelona, in what is known as "Operation Pandora".
All 11 detainees are anarchist activists. 4 of them were released on December 18. One of them is a member of the CNT union from Sabadell and is still imprisoned.
His lawyer says they are being held because they are organised. They haven't been accused of anything more than being active anarchists that spread and publish our ideas and fight for them.
It's clear that this operation took place only to persecute and criminalise the libertarian movement and to in still fear in the rest of the population so they don't fight against this system's injustice.
We ask for solidarity. All that are able, please hold demonstrations or protest meetings to demand the detainees' freedom and against Operation Pandora.
May marks the anniversary of one of the most infamous events in the history of anarcho-syndicalism and the wider working class movement
The 'May Days' in Barcelona 1937 was the turning point of the Spanish Civil War and Spanish Revolution, when counter-revolutionary forces moved against the anarchists, imposing greater control over the Spanish working class and reintroducing capitalist modes of production.
Today (November 1st 2010) marks the 100th anniversary of our Spanish sister organisation, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT-AIT). Liverpool Solidarity Federation extends revolutionary greetings to our comrades in the CNT-AIT and best wishes for the next century of struggle.
¡Viva la CNT-AIT !
¡Viva la AIT y el Anarcosindicalismo!Read more on the CNT-AIT here.
The 22nd of April marked the end of the first month of an indefinite strike in Barcelona by workers at the Sant Sadorni d`Anoia logistics centre for the major Spanish Supermarket chain Mercadona.
The dispute began with the sacking of 3 members of the anarcho-syndicalist union CNT and the culmination of a campaign of threats by the company against workers unionising. Even before a strike was declared the company brought in scab workers, attempting to preempt the actions of their own employees. Immediately, the workforce went on strike, initially for 10 days, and has since developed into an indefinite strike.
The demands of the strikers are:

That's one type of room service.
A worker in Liverpool, England, angry over an apparent pay dispute took matters into his own hands when he repeatedly drove an excavator through a brand-new hotel still under construction.
The man's irate actions went viral Monday in a video that featured him smashing through a Travelodge hotel in the machine, taking the building's doors with him.
Glass can be seen crashing to the ground and furniture, too, once the worker makes his way inside.
"That's what happens when people don't pay their wages," someone can be heard yelling.
Merseyside Police said Tuesday that detectives were investigating the incident and had tracked down a suspect.
The man left the scene on foot, and one person was injured, a man who experienced eye irritation due to diesel exposure.
The victim, elevator contractor Garry Boocock, told The Telegraph and Argus that he stopped the rampage by disabling the worker's machine before it could cause further damage.
"My first instinct was that it was a bomb, but it was a crazy bloke," he told the outlet.
Ceiling fixer Samuel White told Sky News that he and his crew were putting the finishing touches on the soon-to-open Travelodge when "some idiot in a minidigger decided to drive through the middle of the building."
"The site manager was running around like a headless chicken – he wasn't happy at all," White said, adding that the driver was angry over not being paid the equivalent of $778.
A spokesman for the building firm Triton Construction told the BBC that there was no structural damage to the building.
The spokesman said the man was employed by a subcontractor and grew "increasingly frustrated" after he had trouble tracking down the owner of that company to receive his pay.
A GoFundMe account raising money for the driver described him as a man who has been "having a rough time."
"Many people in the building trade encounter similar situations week in week out and this guy has helped MANY tradesmen and workers to get paid on time and to stand up for themselves when it's really needed," the page reads.
The Travelodge – which bears no relation to the U.S. hotel chain of the same name – is located in the Liverpool Innovation Park, an industrial park that also houses offices.

Writer's life is an extraordinary life. It is full of ups and downs. As a writer myself, I have seen from my own and from those writers around me that even though we lead different lives, we go through the same set of stages somehow. If one can identify which stage one is, it is easier to give some advice or coaching. Here we enumerate the different phases a writer's life is composed of, and to coach writers and future writers at each phase, I've also included coaching recommendations for each.
The 5 Stages in a Writer's Life
A Writer's Life Stage 1: Infanthood.
The beginning is marked by a spark of creativity. During this stage, you may still be anxious about writing, and usually does not know who to approach and get coaching from, as well as guidance. At this infancy stage, most people aren't even open to admitting that they are a writer. You can start by practicing saying it out loud at home, talking to stuffed animals or your pets. It may feel weird at first, but trust me eventually you will get the hang of it. This stage in a writer's life is not just applicable to just the new writers, but even for those who have taken a break from writing and have decided to awaken back their passion for it.
Best advice at this stage: Get a writing coach. A coach should help you explore your emotions and study the challenges you face. He should be able to turn your spark of creativity into a passion of writing and get you on track to success steadily.
A Writer's Life Stage 2: Childhood.
Just like a little child, in this stage of a writer's life you have developed that spark into constant high spirits and excitement. It seems like you want to try everything in terms of writing, may it be poetry, essays, letters or short stories. At this point, your high spirits will be sure to bring you to places. And at the same time, will provide you with the vigor to write and write.
Best advice at this stage: While you are at it, why not join writing groups and attend classes. Like a child that is an absorbent sponge, it is the best time to learn all that you can. This is also the best time to try the different genres to check which one best suits your writing.
A Writer's Life Stage 3: Teenage years.
The high spirits from the previous stage now turns to anxiety. This is the time when you are expecting outcomes like being published or even being paid. This is the time when you turn your writing goals into the real world.
Best advice at this stage: Get a writing coach. When you are starting to get anxious and waddling away from how you began, a coach can be there to help you remember why you loved to write in the first place. A writing coach should help you explore your reasons why you should concentrate and commit to writing.
A Writer's Life Stage 4: The Adult years.
This is the stage where you have found your space as a writer. By this time, you have already found the genre and writing style that best suits you. As an adult writer, you could now be into writing a full novel or memoir, or perhaps a more developed poem. This is the stage where you emerge as a serious writer.
Best advice at this stage: Even though you have achieved adulthood already, that doesn't mean you have to stop learning. Continue attending classes, reading books, researching online. This is also the perfect time to be involved in a writers' circle, where you can get valid feedback on your writing. Better if the circle you have joined in is being managed by a writing coach.
A Writer's Life Stage 5: Reaching Maturity.
At this stage, after years and years of practicing your craft, you have finally come to the conclusion of what really makes a writer. Only those serious and passionate will reach this stage of a writer's life. At this point you should have been published many times, and instead of seeking advice, you are the one giving it. You probably know by this point what good writing is all about. Writing is long-term and is a life calling.
Best advice at this stage: Make friends with other writers who are more mature than you. At this stage, it is important that you find a mentor well suited for you. He should be able to teach you how to handle success as well.
The stages in a writer's life are quite easy to remember as they are just like the typical life stages of a human being, just restructured to take into consideration what a writer goes through. But more importantly, I hope you would be able to apply the learning and coaching I have imparted to each and every stage of a writer's life I have mentioned here.

I hoped that my next shipment would have better service. It has not.
Of 4 packages awaiting consolidation at Bongo US, 2 had been over-weighed resulting in 8 lb of excess weight. This will add $30-$40 of shipping charges, to ship nothing.
For example, an envelope of 7 metal springs was delivered by UPS, who weighed it as 0.10 lb. On arrival at Bongo, the envelope was opened and one spring measured at 0.50 lb. The system will happily forward the envelope but first charge for 3.5 lb of weight. Despite the weight measurement being out by a factor of 35x, I was required to pay for a reweigh. They reckon that the original weight measurement is correct, so they keep my $2.
A package of motor oil weighed less than 20.0 lb on delivery, according to UPS. Bongo separated the package into halves, each weighing 12.1 lb. Somehow the package gained 20% (4.2 lb) on arrival. They couldn't explain the discrepancy, and again the reweigh request was a waste of $2. Perhaps they attach an ID tag made of lead before weighing.
At present my packages are being held for ransom until I cough up the extra charges. I have sent a complaint by e-mail because the support staff have been unhelpful.

AUTHOR: DrX - (Australia)
SUBMITTED: Friday, October 19, 2012
There is a flaw in the way their system quantifies items and calculates weights. In this case, a package of motor oil arrived in a box containing 6 quarts, plus 3 bottles containing 1 quart each, and a filter. The receiving staff weighed the 6 qt box correctly at 12.1 lb, then recorded a quantity of 2. The system then says the package weighs 24.2 lb which will be rounded up to 25 lb for forward shipping, even though the incoming shipment weighed under 20 lb (as listed on Bongo's own system).
They couldn't figure out that the error was not reading the scales, but counting.
I hope they can sort this out and prevent this happening to future customers.

Since May, 2008, Cimarron County has been under state, national and international scrutiny by radio, television and printed media because of the severe drought conditions. You might ask "Why is that important? The Oklahoma Climatological Survey sent Climatologist Gary McManus to survey the area and from that visit Cimarron County was given the D4 drought rating equivalent to exceptional. Oklahoma Governor Henry and Agriculture Commissioner, Terry Peach, surveyed the area from the air and by ground to absorb the pressure on producers and resources.
The coverage and visits assisted in bringing federal assistance in the form of low interest loans through the Farm Loan Agency. Other attention has promoted offerings of hay and grazing from other producers in Oklahoma and Arkansas.
Cimarron Co. Conservation District, NRCS-Boise City Field Office, FSA, and the Farm Loan Agency extend a special thank you to area farmers and ranchers who told their stories of how the drought is effecting their operations. When you see these producers offer your thanks for allowing interviews and tours highlighting our area's plight: Millard Fowler, John Williams, Eugene (Geno) and Ann Boyd Sara Williams, Charles (Putt) Tapp , Cole Twombly, Joel Imler, Jimmy Joe Belford, Mandy Hitchings
All agencies would like to offer appreciation for all Cimarron County agriculture producers' continued diligence and efforts to sustain and maintain their natural resources. We will not be known in the future for the "Dust Bowl of 2008" because of your efforts.

in a spider's web
dew drops sparkle just like diamonds
the fly is unimpressed
Who is awake?
Who is awake?
Paradox Lost
pictures play
inside my mind
of another me
and another time
another me
of simpler ways
another time
of gentler days
where a different sun
shone a different light
on a different world
with a different plight
a gentler moon
with silver beams
softer dreams…
of golden rules
and faith and prayer
love and peace
every everywhere
for me to embrace
and touch and feel
only my imagination..?
none the less real
till…my supervisor's rings in my cubical.
"Get back to work!"
The Poet
A lovely flower dies
another blooms to take its place
a newborn child screams at the world
the mask of death slips over an old person's face
Nothing is forever
nothing is for sure
the old must make way for the new
and only so long will the new endure
Sometimes I wonder
sometimes I ask myself WHY
I don't want my living to be just something I do
to pass time till I die
But time is something
no one can control
last night I went to sleep a young man
I awoke this morning much too old
from the book: Some Gentle Moving Thing

It was a moment, every kicker dreams about — making the game-winning field goal.
And LSU's Cole Tracy did just that as the senior kicked a 42-yard field goal on the final play of the game to give No. 12 LSU a 22-21 road victory over No. 7 Auburn Saturday Night in their Southeastern Conference (SEC) opener.
Quarterback Joe Burrow led LSU (3-0) down the field in the final minutes with clutch plays and two pass interference calls against Auburn (2-1). That set up Tracy's game-winning field goal as players swarmed the field in celebration.

Burrow hit Derrick Dillon over the outstretched arms of Auburn linebacker Deshaun Davis for a 71-yard touchdown with just over 8 minutes left in the game. However, LSU's two-point attempt failed, leaving Auburn with a 21-19 lead.
But, the LSU defense game up big when it needed to as it gave the Tiger offense one last chance to win the game.
Burrow passed for a game-high 249 yards and a touchdown and Nick Brossette ran for at team-high 69 yards on 19 carries for LSU.

New Year's Day is not only another government holiday when you invest in the afternoon off and know the mail won't arrive. This is a day that symbolizes new beginnings, second chances, better health, and new looks. Celebrating the ringing in of a new year provides you with the perfect excuse to use cosmetic glitter in a way that looks appropriate and festive. Wearing glitter while celebrating on December 31 tells the world, "I wish to sparkle in 2010!"
Methods for Adding Glitter for your Make up? Don't use anything but appropriate cosmetic glitter. When applying glitter as makeup, always keep in mind that you can only use cosmetic glitter or body glitter that is certainly stable about the eyes. Although some glitters are perfect for crafts, they might be created away from glass, which could scratch the lens of one's eyes and possibly bring about contamination. Polyester and polymer glitters are good selections for body glitter.
Method #1: Work with a cream base for loose glitter. Loose glitter to the eyes is usually a good, powdery substance that you apply with a cosmetic brush. There is a few methods to apply loose cosmetic glitter to your eyes. You'll be able to make use of the glitter straight to your eyes with the brush, just like you would eye shadow. Or, for any more dramatic, shimmering effect, you are able to employ a lower layer so the glitter carries a spot to stick. A good base to utilize is cream-based eyeliner in a dark or light color that you might apply with a makeup brush. After applying the eyeliner, dip some other, dry makeup brush in to the glitter and pat it in the base. Then, utilize a thick makeup brush to lightly brush off the extra glitter.
When working with cream-based eyeliner like a base for loose body glitter, you do not have to simply line the eyes with it. Twenty-four hours a day make use of the base on your whole eyelid, outline the foot of your eyebrows and the like. Research the bottom and loose glitter to discover a design that suits you.
Method #2: Use cosmetic glue for loose glitter. Cosmetic glue is another great way to make glitter stick to your eyes. Apply the glue using the included brush onto your eye. Then, work with a dry makeup brush to apply the loose glitter on your eyes.
Method #3: Use glitter gel. Commonly seen during Halloween, glitter gel for that face typically is available in small tubes. The glitter pieces within the gel are often bigger than those seen in loose cosmetic glitter and make up a thin sprinkling of glitter when placed on the face. Glitter gel is a superb option for those who want their eyes to sparkle, although not seem like they're radiating together with the lights of Vegas. Employ a thin layer of glitter gel over eye shadows, brush glitter gel over your individual eyeliner or apply glitter gel over your eyelashes or brows for a subtle sparkle.
Method #4: Use eyelash adhesive. Suitable for applying a substantial amount of sparkly glitter in your eyelids, eyelash adhesive offers all-night durability. Use eyelash adhesive and a makeup brush to make use of a thick line of glue within the eyelid. Let the glue take a couple of seconds until it becomes tacky. Then, dip another makeup brush into some loose eye glitter and lightly pat the glitter on the glue.
Method #5: Apply glitter to false eyelashes. False eyelashes are a good way to generate up your eyes pop and appearance dramatic. To make use of glitter to false eyelashes, brush some glitter glue in the lashes employing a disposable mascara brush therefore the lashes do not clump. Then, dip the lashes into some loose glitter you've poured onto a clean, small plate. You may then enable the glue to dry a little or make use of the false lashes on your eyes without delay.

Reeling from the death of his great love, Karin, Varg Veum's life has descended into a self-destructive spiral of alcohol, lust, grief and blackouts.
When traces of child pornography are found on his computer, he's accused of being part of a pedophile ring and thrown into a prison cell. There, he struggles to sift through his past to work out who is responsible for planting the material . . . and who is seeking the ultimate revenge.
When a chance to escape presents itself, Varg finds himself on the run in his hometown of Bergen. With the clock ticking and the police on his tail, Varg takes on his hardest—and most personal—case yet. Chilling, shocking and exceptionally gripping, Wolves in the Dark reaffirms Gunnar Staalesen as one of the world's foremost thriller writers.
Published 15th June 2017 by Orenda (UK)
When it comes to Scandi Crime I'm a true novice, however its popularity has exploded in recent years and I was keen to give it a try. When Orenda books offered me the chance to be part of the blog tour for Wolves In The Dark, I jumped at the opportunity.
Wolves In The Dark is Norweigen author, Gunnar Staalesen's 21st (yes – 21st!) book in his Varg Veum series. With such a substantial back catalogue to this series, I was concerned about the impact it would have on my joining in after so many previous books. Having now read it, I do think that while there is clearly a lot of back story to Veum's character and history I'd missed out on, overall it did work without any prior knowledge, although I felt if I'd known what had led Veum to be the person he was today, I may have connected more. That said, Staalesen does offer opportunity to the reader to pick up hints and ideas about his past, for which I really appreciated as it gave a sense of a truly developed and intriguing character.
This book begins when private investigator Varg Veum is arrested after traces of child pornography are found on his computer and follows his quest to exonerate himself. I'm not going to lie, there's some difficult reading here as a dark and repugnant topic is explored and I think Staalesen handled it well. Veum is in a bad place when this happens, having being recently bereaved and finding solace in a bottle. This is where I probably felt knowing more about the character would've helped, however I still got the feeling of a broken man, fighting to save himself in a gritty, dark and complex situation.
The narrative in this book speeds along very well, and even the unfamiliar names of people and places, which required a little rereading to take in, didn't hamper the pace of this snappy book. The short chapters are the exact kind that have you saying "just one more" and before you know it you've covered 100 pages. I had to know how this ended, I really wanted to Veum to prove his innocence (and credit to the author for making me feel like this considering my lack of previous knowledge about him) and I wanted justice to be done. It kind of is, but then there's a cliffhanger ending, leaving the reader ready and waiting for the next book in the series.
I wasn't at all sure how I was going to get on with this book when I started, but page by page it grew on me. While I probably won't be seeking out the previous twenty books in the series, I'd definitely read on from now and will look out for the next installment.
(Thanks to Anne Cater and Orenda for sending me a copy for review.)

Now is not the time, which means now is the perfect time. I think it was Neale Donald Walsch who said, "What you resist persists." How clever, you crystal rubbing prick.
In response, I say, "What hurts my ball stitches includes dreams of hot bitches." (Yes, I am aware that Jay-Z will not be calling me and my flat-billed, crooked cap isn't helping.)
I'm not allowed to have sex until after April 1st: April Tools Day. I can't think of any area I'd like to heal more perfectly than my scrotum, so I am following doctor's orders to the letter. Still, my subconscious is fucking with me. It always does.
OK, put this into the TMI column, but as I sit here with a microwaved gel pack on my lap I have to wonder why I have untimely dreams and if women experience anything similar. Dreams are difficult to recall, but I'll do my best.
I meet this sexy dance instructor and she confesses that she's about to break up with her boyfriend. He hasn't been good to her, bringing her down with stinging criticisms. I lather on the compliments. Yada, yada, yada … roll forward and we're in bed. She keeps saying how naughty it is and how she can't believe we're doing it.
Then I wake up.
I notice three things:
- I have a hard-on, which is stressing my stitches.
- I do not have a sexy dance instructor in my bed.
- I have to pee.
I imagine women have no problem peeing when aroused. It doesn't work that way for men. Ignoring the obvious challenge–avoiding urinating on the ceiling–there are physiological issues. Willy says, "One fluid at a time there, champ. Pick one."
Easier said than undone.
I lie there hoping the turgidity will subside, but it won't. I cycle through random non-sexual thoughts including bracketology, western omelets, and why Russell Brand's face annoys me. Still stiff. I agonize about extracting myself from my warm, flannel cocoon. Finally, I sigh and stagger in the dark, walking like John Wayne after a twenty-mile horse ride. I can't turn on the light, as it would cause serious retinal damage. I lift the lid, carefully peel down my gauze-padded briefs, and proceed to pee all over the toilet rim and floor. I'm not proud. The Simple Green treatment can wait until sunrise.
At last, things begin to loosen up and my stitches remain intact. Thank goodness. I'd hate to schedule an emergency visit listing cause of damage: morning wood. Gosh, I hope this is all worth it. I'm constantly reminded that sterility does not protect against disease. No shit, Sherylcock. The bedside condoms will not be discarded, though I long for the night.
Doctor Snip assured me I'd be back in the game within two weeks. Until then, no lifting anything over ten pounds. Fine. I'll enjoy my time on the bench, encouraging my teammates as I study the game and scout for talent until I can draw my unloaded gun.

Christmas 2016 is almost here! For some, the holiday season conjures up images of dashing through the snow and eating chestnuts roasted on an open fire. For the rest of us, Christmas just means it's time to don that figurative Elf suit and jump into our Christmas inspiration guide.
If your inner Scrooge is tempted to say 'Bah humbug!' to the whole gift-giving thing, think again. Not only are Christmas gifts the surest way to spread yuletide cheer in your office, keeping employees as chipper as the elves at St Nick's workshop, but giving festive promotional gifts is a brilliant and timely way to market your business, keep your brand top-of-mind, and get you on the Nice List with all your customers, partners and associates—all through that one simple, thoughtful gesture.
The key is to keep gifts inventive, useful, and—most importantly—well branded. After all, you won't gain much marketing-wise if gifts don't remind people that your business is the best thing since mistletoe (who doesn't love a cheeky holiday kiss?). That's why Hotline has put together this special Christmas gift guide of practical, innovative and uniquely branded products. So instead of spending hours brainstorming presents, you can knock back a few eggnogs and spend your time brainstorming which karaoke tune to belt out at the office Christmas party!
Ideas for Charities
Promotional Piggy Bank: Working as tirelessly as Santa's elves, charities are all about raising funds to help others; you could even say they're about keeping the generous spirit of Christmas alive all year long. That's why personalised piggy banks make the perfect promotional gift for charities and NGOs. Plastic and playful, in a variety of brightly coloured piggy shapes, giving these customised piggy banks is like helping your associates start up their very own fund for any cause they'd like. Then there's the added benefit that every time they pop a few pence into the piggy bank, your charity's logo will be there to remind them that they could pop a few pence into your charity, too!
Fruit of the Loom Value Printed T-Shirt: You don't need billboards or gimmicks to get your charity noticed—just print up some attention-grabbing branded t-shirts to promote your organisation! If you're holding a fundraising event at Christmas, having everyone wear comfy customised t-shirts will go even further than simply raising awareness for your charity; it'll create a sense of togetherness and team spirit quicker than you can say 'Ho! Ho! Ho!'. Tiny Tim himself couldn't have a more heart-warming Christmas wish.
Ideas for Education & Training Organisations
Seattle Printed Bag: For educational institutions, you're sure to spread the holiday cheer by giving students, partners and staff a convenient, on-trend messenger bag that can hold everything from lecture notes to tablets and maybe even a candy cane or two! This stylish bag will let everyone know your institution is eco-conscious, and with multiple compartments, and nifty pen, it's a gift that's both professional and pragmatic. Whether it's for carrying books to class or whisking presents down a chimney, your custom-branded messenger bag will serve as a great reminder of your institution time and again, no matter what it's used for.
A7 Lined Pocket Notebook: The best promotional gifts are the ones that tie in with what your organisation does. So getting the gift of a beautifully designed notebook from a training institute is kind of like getting gingerbread cookies from the gingerbread man: it just makes perfect sense. Plus, with so much print space on the cover, the world will see your institutional logo every time someone whips out their custom-branded notebook. From writing Christmas shopping lists to summer holiday wish lists, a customised notebook will promote your brand throughout the year.
Ice Media Promotional Pens: When choosing the right promotional giveaway there are a lot of options out there. The best way to choose which is right for you, is to find something that you know people will use. Ice Media Promotional Pens are a great solution! Available in a variety of vibrant colours, and with a print area of 40 x 25 mm, you'll have plenty of room to show off your brand through your promotional message and logo. Start giving people a useful promotional item they'll carry with them wherever they go!
Ideas for Marketing & Sales companies
Curvy Promotional Pens: Eye-catching and ideal for everyday use, these customised pens are sure to keep your brand at the forefront of clients' minds when they're writing letters to Santa or jotting down their New Year's resolutions. Available in a range of vibrant colours, and with 60 x 10 mm of print space, you're guaranteed to get your company logo noticed while showcasing your company's marketing chops.
Manhattan Printed Mug: If there's one sure-fire way to associate your brand with that warm and fuzzy Christmas feeling, it's by giving a Christmas-themed branded mug that will be used time and again. With a unique shape and lots of print space, the Manhattan Printed Mug offers lots of scope to share a funny or heart-warming seasonal greeting with your brand right at its centre.
Smart Pad Mobile Phone Holder: In marketing, you've always got to be ahead of the curve, so what better way to show your clients that you're on top of the latest trends and technology than with a branded mobile phone holder? With a non-slip rubber surface and sleek design, it's a must-have stocking stuffer clients will love for its usefulness and wow factor.
Ideas for Professionals
Parker Jotter: If the Ghost of Christmas Past has taught us anything, it's that no one wants to give gifts that'll end up in a drawer from Boxing Day until the end of time, especially if they're gifts that are meant to keep your business top-of-mind. Luckily, with these ultra-stylish, sleek promotional pens, there's no risk of post-Christmas-Day disappearance. Elegant, with a silver trim and lots of print space, these metal pens will stand out like the North Star amidst the regular old ballpoint stock, and are sure to get your brand noticed.
An idea for any business at Christmas
Christmas Logobugs: No matter the greetings you'd like to send this holiday season, Christmas Logobugs are the way to do it. Festive, fun and available in a range of Christmas-themed critters—from snowmen to Christmas cakes and tinsel-angels—a custom-branded Logobug is sure to get anyone to smile as wide as the Nutcracker. Plus, they're so cute and playful that they'll stick around long after the Christmas decorations are packed away, giving a whole lot of marketing value for a tiny price!
Ideas for Sports & Event businesses
Express Printed Thermo Mug: Whether heading to the gym to work off all the Christmas ham, or rushing to the hottest New Year events, everyone will appreciate the gift of an ultra-convenient travel mug to keep their drinks hot when they're on-the-go. Incredibly useful and featuring a large wrapped print area, these handy travel mugs will advertise your brand everywhere from home to the office—and on every bus and train in between!
Premium Drawstring Promotional Bags: Customised drawstring bags make brilliant promotional Christmas gifts for businesses in the sport and event industries, just because they're so darn practical. For gym-goers they're the perfect hold-all for workout gear—even Santa couldn't ask for a more functional and stylish bag to carry all those gifts around the world—and at events, branded drawstring bags filled with even more promotional items are hands-down the ultimate goody bag!
Value Sports Promotional Umbrella: What does having the perfect umbrella mean? It means come rain, sleet or snow, you won't miss a workout or festive event—so what better gift to give if you're in the sport and event industry than a custom-branded umbrella?

Back from Philly!
Saw the Mutter Museum for the first time. Eeeewww! (Pretty gross stuff, really.)
Saw the Edgar Allan Poe house for the first time!
Saw the Liberty Bell.
Ate in Chinatown several times.
Saw Night of Champions. That Rey Mysterio is the man! And while the main event was pretty ho-hum to me (two "small" guys, both of whom look kinda young, punkish, and grungy? no thanks) and though I had no preference between the three dudes in the triple fight, that one did have a nice old school ending, with a technicality, then interference from a bevy of heels. The first Diva match I thought was good - Melina moves well, especially her kicks and aerial work. So pretty good stuff!

Being authentic on social media
No matter what your personal opinions are, when it comes to social media, if you're a business owner, you can't afford to miss out on the wealth of opportunities social media has with regards to bringing new customers to your door.
Don't believe me? Here's some food for thought…
The number of social media users worldwide in 2019 is 3.484 billion, up 9% year-on-year (source: Smart sight.)
Let that sink in and now let me ask you this, do you think that figure will reduce anytime soon or in the future?
My answer is of course no, which is why my advice to any business owner not taking social media seriously would be that now's the time to start.
I know, it's easy for me to say that. I use social media as a part of my role on a daily basis, but to help you out, I've created a run-down of the 3 things you need to start thinking about to get you started on your social media journey.
These are:
1: Defining your target market
2: Which social media platform is best for your business.
Your social media voice
After coming to a conclusion about the above, another area of focus is thinking about your brands tone of voice on social media.
To help business owners think about their brand voice, Stephanie Schwab of Crackerjack Marketing produced the following four-part formula focusing on character/persona, tone, language and purpose.
Each area can help business owners get an idea of how to assert their brand online, to communicate with customers and create multiple types of content, that will engage their online audience on a consistent basis.
The one way you can begin to connect with online audiences is to focus on your target market and how your product or services align with their values.
It's important to realise that creating social media content is not about relaying information about the features and benefits of your products.
It's about knowing how you can make a difference to your customers, by having them at the heart of your content and giving them the information they need to make a decision.
Your potential customers are looking to engage and find information online, so the best thing you can do is provide solutions to their problem(s) throughout your content.
You can do this by creating posts with:
👉 Attention grabbing headlines
👉 Using creative and engaging images and videos
👉 Link to interesting content on your website e.g. blog
👉 Using humorous content
👉 Using statistics
👉 Creating helpful content e.g. how to guides
👉 Running giveaways and competitions
👉 Asking questions and using polls
👉 Creating stories within your posts e.g. human- interest stories about customers you've helped, your company culture and stories from staff.
Examples of great content:
Using all of the above in a timely and planned fashion will give you the opportunity to find multiple ways to connect and engage with potential customers and gain insight from responses.
Being transparent
The thing with social media nowadays (and marketing for that matter), is that it depends heavily on brands being authentic and transparent about who they are and what they do.
Stackla reports that '86 percent of consumers say authenticity is important when deciding what brands they like and support.'
What does that tell you?
Your potential customers are looking for brands who appeal to their sense of morality. This includes being open and transparent about what your business is and isn't.
Now, some business owners can become guarded when it comes to being open, but the way individuals you are looking to connect with see it is, if you can't be transparent then you may have something to hide.
If you do have something to hide, how long can you afford to keep whatever it is that seems worthy of secrecy a secret?
I ask this, not to instil fear, but to get you thinking about the bigger picture.
Being authentic doesn't mean losing profits, it simply means having a firm idea of what your brand stands for, owning that fact and being aware enough to consider who your brand may not appeal to.
Authenticity in the midst of a crisis. Your reaction matters.
KFC social media crisis response
After the popular restaurant ran out of chicken at 870 UK & Ireland restaurants after a mammoth delivery mishap with their newly contracted delivery company, the chain created advertisements and took to social media to deal with and manage the crisis with humour and grace.
Their responses garnered praise from fans who thanked them for being transparent about the situation and remaining accountable throughout.
See KFC's content in the slider below:
What do you think of how KFC managed their response, will you be taking a leaf out of their books?

One of the most fascinating documents we came across was the BPD's subpoena of Philip Markoff's Facebook information. It's interesting for a number of reasons -- for one thing, Facebook has been pretty tight-lipped about the subpoena process, even refusing to acknowledge how many subpoenas they've served. Social-networking data is a contested part of a complicated legal ecosystem -- in some cases, courts have found that such data is protected by the Stored Communications Act.
In fact, we'd never seen an executed Facebook subpoena before -- but here we have one, including the forms that Boston Police filed to obtain the information, and the printed (on paper!) response that Facebook sent back, which includes text printouts of Markoff's wall posts, photos he uploaded as well as photos he was tagged in, a comprehensive list of friends with their Facebook IDs (which we've redacted), and a long table of login and IP data.
This document was publicly released by Boston Police as part of the case file. In other case documents, the police have clearly redacted sensitive information. And while the police were evidently comfortable releasing Markoff's unredacted Facebook subpoena, we weren't. Markoff may be dead, but the very-much-alive friends in his friend list were not subpoenaed, and yet their full names and Facebook ID's were part of the document. So we took the additional step of redacting as much identifying information as we could -- knowing that any redaction we performed would be imperfect, but believing that there's a strong argument for distributing this, not only for its value in illustrating the Markoff case, but as a rare window into the shadowy process by which Facebook deals with law enforcement.
As far as we can tell, nobody's ever seen what one of these looks like -- and we're hoping the social media, law, and privacy experts out there can glean insight from it:

Soft Flexy Sole Shoes – Flashing Fire Truck
Product Description
These Flashing Firetruck shoes are perfect for every aspiring fireman. The solid navy base is adorned with a flashing red firetruck applique wich makes these shoes a firm favorite. Each pair is packaged in an adorable box, making these shoes the perfect gift for the baby in your life.
Little feet need space to grow and move freely. In order to develop normally, little muscles should be restricted as little as possible. Which is why the general recommendation is not to put shoes on little feet until they've walked independently for at least 6 weeks, and only when absolutely necessary from then on. You can see the difference between minimal shoes and hard sole shoes in this video.
juDanzy Flex-zy Sole shoes feature a thin, yet durable full rubber sole, offering protection from rough ground with minimal restriction to developing muscles. The perfect shoes for new independent walkers.
To keep little feet cosy and flexible indoors, check out our range of grippy socks and tights.

Dean recorded this album, ironically, with a bunch of legendary American pickers who had never heard of this bunch of Aussie classics. Perhaps this was a promotional strategy by Deano, so that he could spread the word that we have the best songwriters and musos down under. I can only imagine what they thought when they heard titles like Cobar Line, Rusty it's goodbye, Where the Lazy Murray Rolls Along, The Indian Pacific, Sydney from a 747 and particularly A Grasshopper Loose in Queensland. They are such iconic Australian references that they must have been a bit bemused.
The Indian Pacific is a a major classic, and fits into this album like a hand in a glove. It would have been strange to leave it out. My Dad used to sing Rusty it's goodbye a lot when I was a kid, so that is a bit of an old nostalgia trip. I don't think that I have heard it since then. Paul Kelly is my favourite Australian songwriter (from all genres), so I was pleased to see Sydney from a 747 there. A lot of Paul's music lends itself to Bluegrass or Country. After all, he has won a few Golden Guitars too. A Grasshopper Loose in Queensland is a bit of a fun novelty song, and I must say that I haven't heard of it before, if I had, I would have remembered it! I really like The Water Lilly, it is a beautiful song. Losing my blues tonight is an obvious choice for such an album.
This is Dean's 15th album and he has recorded a bluegrass album before. He is no stranger to Bluegrass at Tamworth, having participated in Kristy Cox's gigs which are really a highlight at Tamworth.
His recent albums have had more original material on them, with some classics mixed in and some co-writes. It is good to mix it up and Bluegrass music is riding a new wave at the moment, so it was a pretty natural direction for Dean to take.
There is always something natural about a Dean Perrett recording. I am not saying that it is not well produced, because it is, however, I find that Dean always sings with a certain purity and rawness. He often sings songs that are "old school" or are in "old school style" but with his own take on them. It is not quite what they call a modern twist, but it is a different way of doing these songs.
He has a distinctive voice. No matter what he would be singing, if a song of his came on the radio, I would know that it was Dean Perrett. You can't say that about a lot of people these days.
I think that Dean could very easily introduce the current generation to this older music (like Kristy has done), and to sceptics who don't want to be linked to a more traditional style of country music.
Dean is uniquely Australian, and that won't ever change. Thank goodness for that. I have listened to this album 5 times already. It is very easy to listen to.

Was £24, now £20.
Inspired by walks in the Yorkshire Dales as a child. Sunshine filtering through the Autumnal trees after a shower of rain.
A super chunky weight yarn hand spun from 100% superfine alpaca. Around 40 metres per 100g skein and suitable for 10-15mm needles. Hand wash cool. This yarn is a bit "rustic". Being handspun it is somewhat uneven in thickness and contains a little vegetable matter. This isn't for everyone, so if you don't like the sound of this then why not take a look at all the other yarn bases I offer this colourway on.
This yarn is presented as a skein. If you would like it caked then this adds 24h to the dispatch time and costs £2. You can purchase this service here:

Kecia Gaither
Brookdale University Hospital
Title: Peripartum cardiomyopathy: The urban experience
Kecia Gaither is a double board certified physician in Ob/Gyn and Maternal Fetal Medicine, with a Masters Degree in Public Health. As a women's health advocate and expert, Gaither has appeared on NBC TV, as well as other national consumer health and lifestyle outlets across print, radio ,and online. She is the co-author of the book, "The Confident Woman" - a must read for women who desire increased confidence, self-esteem and empowerment. With her foray into social media, Dr. Gaither's combined perspective as a maternal child specialist and public health proponent has allowed her to reach thousands via her Twitterfeed-- @KeciaGaitherMD. She is a reviewer for, and has been published by, multiple scientific journals. Dr. Gaither was an appointee of NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg to the HIV Planning Council of NY. Dr. Gaither was additionally listed as one of America's Top Obstetricians by the Consumers Research Council of America in 2007, 2010, 2012, and 2013. Her interests are HIV, obesity in pregnancy, womens' public health initiatives, environmental health, preterm labor, and prenatal diagnosis
Objective: Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a rare clinical entity of unknown etiology, unique to the pregnant woman, which is associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality. The diagnosis is fraught with controversies regarding its definition, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management. The objective of this study was to identify and analyze underlying clinical characteristics contributing to the genesis of the disorder in an urban hospital setting Design: This was a retrospective study in which data was compiled from the medical records of 13 women in our institution from 2008-2013, who were diagnosed with peripartum cardiomypathy. Descriptive analysis was performed using means and proportions for continuous and categorical variables respectively. Statistical analyses were performed using SDSS version 20.0.0 Results: Established risk factors were age > 30 years, African American race, cesarean delivery, preeclampsia and obesity ( BMI> 32 kg/m2); novel associations of anemia and asthma were identified Conclusion: Peripartum cardiomyopathy has an exceptional potential for recovery with early identification. Women of African American descent with established risk factors may benefit from a more thorough evaluation of their cardiovascular status during their prenatal care, to potentially avoid the presentation/severity of the disease entity, with particular attention to: • Baseline cardiovascular function (EKG, ECHO) • Expeditious reversal of anemia • Dietary intervention to lower BMI
