The far-right British National Party's (BNP) Christmas card has appeared on its website, and features the sinister slogan: "Wishing you a White Christmas".
Signed from the party's leader Nick Griffin and the BNP, a photo of a blonde-haired Caucasian girl holding a white box wrapped with a red ribbon appears on the front. The gift is tagged with a heart-shaped BNP logo.
According to the BNP website, recipients include those officially signed up to the party, as well as "various people in the media, bishops and opposition politicians".
Mr Griffin has attempted to change the BNP's image from an allegedly racist party since he became its leader in 1999.
The BNP had a spike in popularity when Mr Griffin became a Member of the European Parliament in 2011. However this suffered after the party lost its only county council seat in the country in May 2013.
It is unlikely the potentially racist tones of wishing recipients a "White Christmas" are lost on the party and its members, who are urged on the website to "share this viral image".

The Kharidian Desert is an expansive region located south of the nations of Misthalin and Morytania. The desert becomes a dangerous region south of the Shantay Pass, requiring a player to drink from waterskins or other sources of water to avoid dehydration. Failing to drink will cause the player to periodically lose hitpoints.
There are certain places in the desert where players do not need to drink, such as towns and camps.

Michelle Edwards, 35, kept the handgun, in a supermarket carrier bag, for a family friend before her home was raided by police after a tip-off.
Today Ms Edwards, who now campaigns against gun and knife crime, told how she was arrested on the school run. She insists she had no idea what was in the bag.
A former council escort for youth offenders going to detention centres, she was jailed for five years at Croydon crown court in 2006 after admitting possessing a firearm, cut to two years on appeal. She served seven and a half months before being released on a tag.
Her children, now aged 10, 11 and 16, were looked after by her parents and sisters while she was in jail. She said: "The worse thing was not seeing the children, not being there at night for them, not sharing their birthdays. Being apart hurt like hell. They would come and visit but it was horrible saying goodbye to them."
Later it emerged that the gun, a replica converted for live ammunition, was incapable of being fired. It was also revealed that the man who informed on her was the man who asked her to keep the gun. He is now serving 18 years for firearms and hostage-taking charges.
Ms Edwards helps to run workshops for the charity Involve 2 Evolve in schools and colleges with the message: "It's not worth it." She gives talks to children and students with four other women, one of whom has been convicted of drugs offences, one who has been in care and another who has been a victim of domestic violence.
She says: "We explain our stories and why it has not been worth it. We say people have choices and give advice on how to make the right decision."
Recent figures show gun crime in London is falling by 10 per cent while knife crime is increasing by 17 per cent.

My friend Ali and I traipsed Soho for an hour to find somewhere different. This was it. The ambience was relaxed in a lovely Mediterranean way. The food was fresh hot and delicious and the staff were perfect. Attentive but in a relaxed and non invasive manner. I will come back again. A delightful, happy relaxed evening where two women could wine done and chat comfortably and congenially. We loved it and will highly recommend. Thank you to all working there tonight Wednesday x

The Hardest Letter
The next letter I put off until last, knowing it would be by far the hardest and that I would cry. I didn't think it was possible for mere words to explain how I felt towards my dearest friend who I loved and could never leave. Only now I had no choice.
'Dear Heidi,
I don't know what to write, for it is impossible for me to describe just how much you mean to me. It is a strange thought thinking that once you read this, I will be dead.
I know there are things I cannot do; for example, I cannot fly, breathe underwater or ace a maths test. But there are things I am good at, swimming and football and making new friends. You are case and point of the last. You, my dear Heidi, are the best friend that I have ever had. Every day I have spent in your company has been like years, and now I am glad because of all those treasured memories. If it were you dying, I would do anything to swap places with you. The very thought of you ill or in pain fills me with this... compulsion that makes me want to take the pain from you. And I do not regret it.
I know I run the risk of freaking you out here, but you need to know just how much you will always mean to me. I have always known that if you committed suicide, I would have to follow you in death because, to me, a life without you just isn't worth living. Often I would find myself in so much pain that I didn't want to get out of bed; at those times I would picture you and everyone else hyper. Then I would smile, get out of bed and live my life. You have kept me alive for so long now, I can't live without you.
I know I can never love you the way a man can, but I do love you, probably more than I should, but I can't help that.
I'd like to think I would have been the first person you would go to if you were in danger or just needed someone to talk to, because you were always my first. You've seen me cry and comforted me, and I have done the same for you. I could never hurt anyone, you know that. But the last person I could ever hurt always has been you. Which is why I hate this feeling that I am going to die, because I realise I will never see you again and you will cry over my body. But I would rather know than not.
I've always wanted the best for you, so as long as you are pleased, I will be proud. Visit my grave for I know I will never be able to leave you, even in death.
I love you, my dearest Heidi, goodbye.
Most of the page was damp with my tears as I shakily stowed them in an empty folder that I would add to later on. It was then that I decided that I would not bother with chemo or radiotherapy. What was the point of a few more months when they would be spent feeling ill and in pain? No, I would let nature take its course.
And then I felt guilty for Heidi and everyone else, especially Heidi. But it was my life, my death, should I not be able to choose myself? The one thing I would allow myself would be pain medication, I had had enough pain for my time.

The amount of tuition fees charged by colleges and university determine the affordability and the access of postsecondary education. However, the tuition fees paid in these post secondary educational institutions is not uniform. Although the disparity between the tuition fees paid by the resident and the international student has existed for a long time, many considerations determine the differences between the tuition fees charged to the students. Indeed, the number of foreign students accessing higher education in the United States in America has increased steadily over time. For instance during the 2011-2012 academic year, 763,429 international student enrolled in various levels of postsecondary education in the United States. The bulk of these students were from china and most of them enrolled for undergraduate programs. Indeed, this was a record number of international students, which accounted for an increase of 6 % from the previous year (Brennan and Dellow 29). In many other instances, resident student are categorized as in-state and out-of-state categorizing the tuition fees payment further. Surprisingly, the tuition fees for international students enrolling in the United States institutions of higher learning is perhaps the highest in the world, yet these institutions continue attracting large numbers of international students. However, the quality of education in American colleges and universities is considered to be high by many foreign students. This has resulted to an increase in demand by international students and a strain on American institutional facilities.College tuition fees varies from an average high of US$ 35,660 for a doctorate degree in a private university to a low of US$ 3,131 in a two-year public college for an in-state student. This represents a ten-fold disparity in the tuition fees charged by the postsecondary institutions. The highest tuition charged for an undergraduate program for in-state students is US$ 16,132 while some private universities charge in excess of US$ 40,000 for the same program annually, which applies for both resident and international students. Indeed, tuition fees vary along several considerations, which include the kind of institution, the level of academics, the location of institution and the time when the fees was charged. The ensuing discussion dwells on the similarities and differences that exist between the tuition fees paid by the international students and the resident student. The comparisons and contrasts shall be considered under the level of academics being pursued (certificate or an associate's degree, a bachelors degree, a masters degree and a PhD), the type of institution (public or private) and the location of the institution. In addition, a personal opinion, recommendations and predictions of the likely tuition fees situation in the United States colleges and universities shall also be provided in the discussion.
Level of Academics
The level of academics may be categorized as a two-year college level, a four-year undergraduate level, a graduate level and a postgraduate level with the academic qualification at each level being a certificate or an associate's degree, a bachelors degree, a masters degree and a PhD respectively.
Both the resident students and the international students are charged higher fees as they proceed higher in the academic levels being pursued. Specifically, the tuition fees charged by a community college for an associate's degree are lower than the fees charged at the postgraduate (PhD) level. For instance, the tuition fees ranged from an average of US$ 3,131for a two-year associate's degree course in a community college to an average high of US$ 35,660 for a doctorate in a private university. The justification for this variation is the fact that the faculty required to conduct higher-level programs is more expensive to remunerate that the faculty handling lower level courses. Additionally, a PhD program for instance, is expensive to run because it has a heavy research component compare to a two-year certificate program.
However, disparities exist in the tuition fees charged at each academic level between resident students and international students. In addition, this disparity increases with the increasing level of academics being pursued. The difference between the tuition fees charged to a resident and an international student at the associate degree level ranges at US$ 1,000, at undergraduate level being about US$ 20,000 and at postgraduate level being US$ 26,000 (Baum, Ma & College Board Advocacy & Policy 10). Indeed, international students usually require additional assistance in their studies. Often, the tuition fees may include a component of language proficiency improvement for students who English is not their native language. Indeed, this component may be higher for higher-level programs because the level of English required should be of high academic quality. Indeed, international students from English speaking foreign countries are at an advantage in this case.<…>
Location of Institution
The fees charges by colleges and universities may differ with the geographical location of the institutions. In the United States of America, the amount of tuition fees charged in colleges and universities differ from one state to another. One similarity that all locations in the United States have is that every state has a fair share of high cost and low cost colleges and universities that can be accessed by the resident and the international students (Cahill 2).
However, some regions in the United States tend to have lower tuition charges than others. Specifically, the western end of United States tends to charge lower tuition fees compared to the eastern side. For instance, the tuition charged in a public in-state two-year college is US$ 2,241, which is the lowest, compared to other regions like the middle states (US$ 4,274) and New England (US$ 4,619). Interestingly, Ivy League universities and colleges charge some of the highest tuition fees in the United States and in the world. These private colleges are located in the northeastern end of United States. There are eight colleges in this group, which have become synonymous to academic excellence, exclusive selectivity and high elitism of its members. These colleges include Yale University, university of Pennsylvania, Princeton University, Harvard University, Dartmouth College, Cornell University, Columbia University and Brown University. Indeed, an Ivy League college or university has been ranked first worldwide for the last twelve years consecutively with the Princeton university and Harvard university topping the frequency in this ranking. Their successful group of alumni and amount of exemplary achievement by their members has contributed greatly to the superior reputation of these institutions, which is used to justify the high tuition fees charged. For instance, Harvard University charges a tuition fee of US$ 40,000 for a graduate program and 11 % of the student population is made up of international students while Princeton University charges US$ 40,170 for an undergraduate program and has a similar proportion of international students. Of the Ivy League universities, Columbia University charges the highest tuition fees of US$ 43,815. The national university with the highest proportion of international students is New School in New York, which is at 27 %, while the most expensive private university is Sarah Lawrence College in New York, which charges a tuition fee of US$ 57,556 for an undergraduate course (Baum, Ma & College Board Advocacy & Policy 3).
Indeed, the level of academics, the location of the university and college, the type of institution and the macroeconomic factors affect the amount of tuition fees charged to both resident and international students. There are various similarities, which include a general increase in the tuition fees as the level of education rises for both the resident and international students, the tuition fees charged in public institutions that largely cater for resident students being much lower that the tuition fees charge to international student, usually in private institutions. Clearly, there are more contrasts than similarities of the tuition fees charged to the resident students and the international students. These differences in the tuition fees charged to the resident students and the international students were evident in all the considerations made. However, the disparities in the tuition fees paid by international students and the resident students are pertinent and justified. This allows the resident students to continue enjoying the benefits accrued from the economy of United States through federal and state support of postsecondary education. In addition, the higher tuition fees charged on the international students is justified as these students usually take the knowledge acquired back to their homes of origin without benefitting the United States economy with the skills that they have acquired. In addition, the quality of education in the postsecondary of institutions is high in comparison with institutions in many foreign countries especially in Africa and Asia. Students educated in the United States colleges and universities are n high demand in the foreign countries. This may explain the rapid increase in the number of foreign students recently.
It is recommended that the disparities in the tuition fees paid in colleges and universities located in different states be reduced. This would improve the distribution of international students to even out the enrolment of these students across the states. In addition, the universities and colleges across the different states should offer proportionate opportunities to both international and resident students by being equally involved in marketing their programs internationally (Kirschner 4).
The trend indicates that international students may continue paying higher tuition fees compared to residential students in the future. This is because, the fees paid by foreign student are crucial in supporting the research programs and other facilities that make the American colleges and universities attractive. However, the amount of tuition fees paid by residential student is likely to remain unchanged as the revenue collected continues to be utilized to support most of the expenditure in colleges and universities. This is likely to be supported by the increasing enrolment of foreign students into the universities and colleges in the United States (Hauptman and Research American Enterprise Institute of Public Policy 12).
This is a great example of the way one should write a top-notch PhD level essay.

"First of all, going into camp is all about trying to figure out what our football team can do and what it cant do and then try to prepare for the entire season and not for one game. Since camp has been over with starting on Wednesday [of last week] we started focusing on the first game and, since then, that's what we've done.
"The game plan was installed by Sunday. Today was really a polish day for us and we'll do the same thing on Wednesday and Thursday and I will tell you they're really tired of practicing against each other. They're tired of going full speed, but not being able to hit, because they're trying to take care of their teammates. We don't want anymore contact than we have to and they're sick and tired of going full speed and not hitting, so they're getting pretty chippy out there and there's a lot of frustration on their part and on the coaches part so it's getting interesting."
Where has the team grown the most leading up to the first game?
"I would have to say probably mental toughness is the biggest thing, because the tempo that we're trying to practice and the way we're trying to practice – the way we're doing things, it takes a lot of mental toughness to do it and I think I've seen our guys grow a lot through camp. It was a grueling camp. It was very difficult. It was the hardest thing that they've done to this point in their lives and I think it is going to pay off in the long run."
How much work on 'off the field' stuff have you done as far as the identity of the team when they're not just playing football?
"Quite a bit actually. During camp everybody talks about the amount of practice you do, but it's almost two-to-one as far as meetings and walkthroughs and all the things from when you start at 6:15 in the morning and you put them to bed at 11 o'clock at night and you have them the entire time. You can only practice so much. The rest of it is meetings. The rest of it is talking about the identity of our football team. Who we want to be, how we're going to carry ourselves, how we're going to live our lives. Whether it is in the dorms or on campus or on Franklin Street or wherever we are when we're representing the University of North Carolina we want the Tar Heel nation to be proud."
It seems like accountability is something you've really tried to hammer home with your team. Is that a fair statement?
"That's a good statement, yeah. We had to deal with a little bit of that today. In a weight workout somebody was late to the workout and so the entire team paid for that and nobody liked that, but anytime you do something there's a ripple effect to your life. It's not just affecting you. It's affecting you, your teammates, your family, the entire Tar Heel nation and so we're starting to understand that, but that will take some time."
On addressing week-to-week injuries:
"I'll tell you how we do it. We do not talk about injuries, so that will be a real short deal for us each week. What I'll do is I'll tell if we've got anybody that is going to be done for the year and that will be about it. Right now I don't have anything to say so we're in good shape."
On Gio Bernard returning punts:
"If you could put the ball in one persons hands out in the open field, who would you want to put it in? Gio's been doing a great job with it. I think he's excited about the opportunity. It's another touch for him, another opportunity to make a big play and I'm hoping he makes a lot of them."
On the battle between Marquise Williams and Kanler Coker for the second quarterback spot:
"Both those kids really competed hard and did a good job. Really they worked really well just fighting for that number two spot. There was a great competition going on there throughout fall camp and it seemed like one day it would be one and one day it would be the next, but Marquise finally edged out Kanler at that position, but I would feel comfortable with either one of them going out there."
On the running back position outside of Gio Bernard:
"If you asked me who improved the most in fall camp I would have to say it would've been [A.J.] Blue and [Romar] Morris. Blue lost 20 pounds just coming into to camp to prepare himself for what he needed to do and Blue became the leader of that unit. He's the most vocal guy in that group. He's very well respected by his teammates.
"Romar, just watching him and how much more comfortable he was with running the zone, seeing the cutback lanes, putting his foot in the ground and getting north, he really improved a lot too. Both of them catch the ball very well out of the backfield."
Which freshmen do you anticipate playing for you this season?
"Quinshad [Davis] is going to play for sure. I would say Kendrick Singleton is going to play… Maybe in the offensive line the one I think has a chance would be Caleb Peterson that is preparing. On the back end, you're going to see T.J. Jiles and Malik Simmons are definitely going to play for us. You're going to see Shakeel Rashad and you're going to see Jessie Rogers. Those freshmen will play for us. Now we have others that may play on some special teams, but those guys are going to play for us."
Have you tried to reach out to former Carolina players and build that community?
"Yeah we have. Actually, we had around 75 to 80 of them back for practice one day during camp. We're constantly talking to them. We've had various guys stop by and watch practice and want them to know that anybody that has ever played the game for the Tar Heels we want them always to know they're welcome. Come to practice, bring their kids, watch practice, walk around that practice field where they sweated, where they bled and all those old memories flood back into your head. We want the to feel like it's home, because it is. That's a tremendous thing.
"And then I'd like for our guys to meet them, because I want our guys to know who built North Carolina. Who are the guys that came before them, what are the stories that they have, what can they learn from them and I think that it's very important to learn both ways."
What do you want the game day atmosphere to be like at Kenan Stadium?
"I want every Tar Heel fan when they leave the stadium to say 'you know what, we have the best game day experience in the country.' As I went around and talked to all the fraternities and all the sororities that I got to visit with and the student organizations, they all want to have a great game day experience. They talk about seeing these on T.V. and this one and that one and I said we can make it whatever we want.
"Whatever we want our game day experience to be, we can do it. It just takes effort on everyone's part to get there, to be in the stadium, to have a rear end in every seat in the stadium and to be loud and crazy while you're there and have a great time. That's all it takes and so you got to get out of bed, you got to get there, you got to get in the stands early and you got to have fun. If we do that I think everybody will have a good time"
What is the relationship with Roy Williams and the basketball program like?
"It's been awesome. The very first time I got to really spend any time with him was at the Chick-Fil-A Classic down in Reynolds Plantation in Georgia at the golf tournament. I had a blast with him. I really did. I'm not much of a golfer. He's a great golfer and I had a lot of fun with him that weekend. Our schedules don't mix very well, but when we do get a chance to see each other it's been really great.
"I had him come out and he spoke to our team one night. I said coach I'd love to have you come, but our team meeting is at 9:15 and he said 'I'll be there' and he was there. He did a tremendous job visiting with our players and talking with them about what it takes to be successful."
How has punter Thomas Hibbard looked so far this fall?
"Tommy's really had a good fall camp. He's punted the ball well. We've asked him to do some different things with the ball and he's really responded well, so I think Tommy is on the verge for having a really good year for us."
"Larry Fedora Live" will air weekly in the fall on Tar Heel Sports Network affiliates, including UNC's flagship station (WCHL 1360AM/97.9FM).

Faith Winter Session 2016
"Open Wide the doors to Christ" Exploring the teaching of St John Paul.
Set in the beautiful grounds of Stonyhurst College, Lancashire, the FAITH Winter Session attracts scores of young Catholics from all over Britain and offers a unique blend of catechetical, spiritual and social activities in a relaxed holiday atmosphere. Each year it follows a central theme which is developed over the three days by a series of lectures and discussions.
Although the Winter Session is not a retreat, one of the keys to the spirit it creates comes from our joining in common prayer and sharing in the Sacraments. Each day there will be morning and night prayer, Midday Mass, a Reconciliation Service with Exposition, Benediction and the chance for individual Confession.
During the session there will also be some free time with various afternoon activities being laid on for those who are interested. Then, with the bar open in the evenings, there will be an excellent chance to relax, meet new people and, if you have the energy, chat into the small hours.

Losing Our Religion
How Unaffiliated Parents Are Raising Their Children
256 pages
2 tables
November, 2015
Part of the Secular Studies series
"Full of new insights both conceptual and practical about the growing religiously unaffiliated population today. Manning offers a new typology for understanding its diverse constituency, beliefs and identities. For 'none' parents, she addresses many questions and issues likely to arise with their children. And does so in an honest and engaging manner drawing on insights gleaned from dealing with her own teenage daughter. A good and informative read."
—Wade Clark Roof, J.F. Rowny Professor of Religion and Society Emeritus, University of California at Santa Barbara
"A very useful and timely addition to the sociological literature on the fast growing population of Nones, which is having a growing impact on 21st century American society. The dilemmas facing the current generation of parents who self-identify with no religion and have to grapple with the question of how to raise their children can be a real challenge for many couples. This book provides valuable insights and guidance by offering a rich body of material including a societal overview, interviewees' stories, and the author's own experience as a parent."
— Barry A. Kosmin, Director, Institute for the Study of Secularism in Society & Culture, Trinity College
"The 'rise of the Nones' has been the decade's most important story about religion in America, but we know very little about what distinguishes the religiously unaffiliated from other Americans. In this sophisticated yet accessible qualitative study, Christel Manning provides a fascinating view of how None parents negotiate the moral and spiritual upbringing of their children."
—Mark Silk, Trinity College
"Refreshingly nonpolemical—will be of special interest to secular parents struggling with some of the issues presented."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Manning explores the incredible diversity to be found among Nones, who include everyone from the esoteric spiritual seekers to devout Christians who simply don't identify with a particular denomination...a thorough primer."
—Publishers Weekly
"[T]he most interesting insight in this book comes from Manning's characterization of what Nones are looking for in their own lives and the way they bring up their children."
—Books & Culture
"[Manning] explores how parents of these varying worldviews raise their children, some in parts of the country where not attending church is viewed with great suspicion, and how they respond when a child asks the big questions—about God, about death, about going to church."
—VOYA: Voice of Youth Advocates
"[…] Christel Manning's interesting new analysis of the unaffiliated, also known as 'Nones' for their stated preference for no religion in particular…are…a diverse lot but even the secularists, like Manning herself, still commonly struggle with the default religiosity of American society and with the assumption that religion is inherently good or necessary for individual goodness."
—Anthropology Review Database
"In this impressive book, [Manning] presents a detailed profile of religiously unaffiliated or disinterested parents and reveals the variety of ways in which they are raising the next generation. Summing Up: Highly recommended."
"This book should be required reading for anyone interested in the changing contours of American religious and nonreligious life."

You've successfully served a juicy turkey, the wine is flowing, and you've averted a near disaster when setting the Christmas pudding alight. There's only one thing left to do: cut the cake.
No Christmas day – or indeed cups of tea and coffee in the many, many weeks following – would be the same without a slice of a rich, boozy fruit cake.
Made to last, these Christmas staples should be filled to the brim with fruit, nuts and citrus peel, soaked with lashings of booze, and yet not too heavy. Whether you're a fan of an iced top, or a nutty finish, toppings should be decadent and rich.
Here's our pick of this year's best Christmas cakes, which should see you well into 2017 too.
1. Meg Rivers Classic Fully Iced Christmas Cake: £25 for 1.2kg (10 portions) exclusive to Ocado or £38 for 1.9kg (16 portions) from Meg Rivers
Don't be fooled by its deceptively simple appearance – this fruit and nut-packed cake is complex, nuanced and dangerously moreish. This fully iced number gets the balance right between a moist, creamy, butter-rich sponge, and the almond sweetness from a generous layer of marzipan, with melt-in-the-mouth icing. Aged for a minimum of three months in French brandy, the booze levels are just right, while the overall cake manages – somehow – to avoid being too heavy. Opt for the bigger size as you'll want to keep coming back for leftovers of this quintessential Christmas cake.
2. Waitrose Christmas Spiced Fruit Cake, 1kg: £16, Waitrose (serves 16)
This modern twist on a classic certainly catches the eye with its decorative layer of fruit, nuts and marzipan stars. You might say it's Christmas cake 'deconstructed'. While the citrus, spiced, brandy-soaked cake itself is smooth with punchy hints of ginger, the topping provides a satisfying crunch. In fact, that layer of almonds, cherries, a generous amount of brown sugar and a slight toasting to the marzipan, is what really kept us coming back for more.
3. Tesco Finest Rich Fruit Cake, 907g: £6.66, Tesco (serves 16)
Icing can be a deal breaker when it comes to Christmas cake. Too dry or too thin and it's an instant turn-off. Too sticky or too thick and it's a sickly mess. This cake then is the goldilocks of the bunch, having got the balance just right. Hats off to Tesco for this attractive little cake, which also scored highly for its generous amounts of marzipan and deep fruitiness, imparted by both brandy and an oak-aged cognac. It says it serves 16, but if your family is anything like ours, you can easily halve that number.
4. Meg Rivers Festival Wreath Cake, 2kg: £49, Ocado (serves 20)
If we could get away with it, we'd hang this on our front door. Pretty as a picture, Meg Rivers scores another hit with this beauty of a cake. Piled high with brazil nuts, pecans, dried cranberries, almonds and jewel-like glacé cherries, this crowd-pleaser delivers a crunchy texture, rich with crystallised pineapple, apricots, juicy vine fruits and a hit of French brandy. Even though this is by far the biggest cake we tested, it's so delicious that you might not have any left to save.
5. Iceland Luxury Christmas Cake, 1kg: £7.50, Iceland (serves 16)
One of the most festive-looking of the bunch, this great value offering from Iceland has the appearance and taste of a much pricier cake. For the money, you get a decent layer of marzipan, light, fluffy icing and a generous amount of brandy and cognac. It's not perfect, but you won't find better value for money than this.
6. Selfridges Selection Medium Christmas Cake, 600g: £14.99, Selfridges (serves 8)
Spoiler alert: if you don't like the taste of cinnamon and cloves, then you're not going to like this small but perfectly formed treat from Selfridges – though we very much did. The icing was a little dry, but this spice-heavy cake really delivered when it came to the sponge which was packed with cognac-infused vine fruits, crushed ginger and a generous amount of walnuts. It's great if you're serving just a few people this year, though a bigger, 1kg size is also available if you're catering for a larger group.
7. Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Star Garland Iced Fruit Cake, 1.74kg: £15, Sainsbury's (serves 24)
Adorned with real gold leaf-covered sugar decorations (don't worry, they're edible), and stuffed full of cognac-soaked cherries, nuts and spices, Sainsbury's has stuck to a traditional recipe for this cake. However, we found the alcohol levels a little strong, so it might not be to everyone's taste. However, having said that, this cake serves a whopping 24 people, so it offers incredible value.
8. M&S The Collection Jewelled Poinsettia Christmas Cake, 1.35kg: £25, M&S (serves 22)
This sparkly, hand-decorated cake definitely looks luxurious, and would make a great table centrepiece. However, if we could use one word to describe the taste, it would be buttery. So, while the icing is delicate, soft and sweet, the raisin, cherry, almond and brandy infused cake ends up on the heavier side. But if rich desserts are your thing, you'll be in heaven with this one. And though we first questioned if the cake really could serve 22, upon tasting it became clear that only small portions are needed.
9. Aldi Exquisite Christmas Cake, 1.9kg: £9.99, Aldi (serves 24)
No brandy or cognac here. Aldi has won a place in our hearts by replacing the traditional alcohol component of its cake with a generous measure of sloe gin. So you'll certainly get a rosy glow after polishing off a slice of this one. And it also scores highly for its rich décor too. There are a lot of plus points to this good value cake, although the layer of icing could have been a little thicker.
The Verdict: Christmas cakes
Though pricey and decidedly understated (some would say classy) when it comes to decoration, the taste of the Meg Rivers Classic Fully Iced Christmas Cake just couldn't be beaten. Order the large size if you want to have left overs to pick at after the big day. And trust us, you'll want to.

Harvard Catalyst
Since 2013 the Petrie-Flom Center has collaborated with the Regulatory Foundations, Ethics, and Law Program of Harvard Catalyst | The Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center at Harvard Medical School to promote the ethical conduct of research with human beings. Harvard Catalyst was established in 2008 to improve human health by enabling collaboration and providing tools, training, and technologies to clinical and translational investigators. It is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) program (grant 1UL1 TR001102-01), and by contributions from Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health, Harvard Law School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Massachusetts General Hospital.
The Center's initial focus has been on developing practical solutions to key legal and ethical barriers affecting participant recruitment to and retention in clinical research studies. Clinical research cannot succeed without human research participants, but recruitment to research is often a serious challenge, involving complex ethical and legal issues. Key projects addressing these challenges are described below.
Using Social Media as a Research Recruitment Tool
Social media is emerging as a promising tool for recruiting people into clinical trials and other important types of research. Despite this, there is no specific regulatory guidance and very little in the bioethics literature to help investigators and IRBs navigate this potentially unfamiliar terrain. This project develops a methodology for assessing social media recruitment techniques, analyzes and applies key ethical and legal norms, and uses detailed case studies to shed light on relevant aspects of social media recruitment. This work has issued in a freely available guidance document outlining numerous concrete recommendations for investigators and IRBs (The Use of Social Media in Recruitment to Research: A Guide for Investigators and IRBs), as well as numerous presentations on the practical aspects of social media recruitment to investigators and research staff, IRB members, research participant advocacy boards, and other CTSA institutions. A related publication is forthcoming in the American Journal of Bioethics.
An overview of the guidance document The Use of Social Media in Recruitment to Research is available here.
Evaluating Offers of Payment to Research Participants
There is currently a lack of consensus among IRBs and researchers concerning key regulatory concepts applicable to paying research participants, as well as the ethical boundaries that should be used in evaluating offers of payment. This project aims to clarify the definitions of key terms such as "undue influence," "coercion," and "exploitation," and to draw attention to the overlooked problems associated with paying research participants too little. In December of 2016 the Center will host a symposium and working group, bringing together leading voices on payments to identify the challenging ethical issues surrounding payment, work toward consensus on how to identify 'fair' payment under different circumstances, and identify best practices for the proposal and review of offers of payment to research participants. The conceptual and ethical foundations for this project have been laid in a law review article on these topics (Paying Research Participants: Regulatory Uncertainty, Conceptual Confusion, and a Path Forward) forthcoming in 2017 at the Yale Journal of Health Policy, Law, and Ethics.
When Clinical Trials Compete: Prioritizing Study Recruitment
It is not uncommon for multiple trials at the same institution to recruit concurrently from the same population. When the relevant pool of participants is limited, as it often is, trials essentially compete for participants. There is evidence that such competition is a predictor of low recruitment rates, but there is no consensus on what steps, if any, institutions should take to manage this issue. One neglected but promising approach is for institutions to minimize competition between trials by prioritizing among them, allowing some studies to recruit eligible participants ahead of others. In this project we examine how institutions approach competing clinical trials, conducting qualitative interviews with individuals responsible for managing competing trials at their home institutions to benchmark current practices. The second phase will involve convening subject matter experts into working groups to identify the practical and ethical challenges of managing competing trials and to explore institutional prioritization approaches as a feasible means of addressing them. This work will issue in a practical 'points to consider' guidance document for managing competing trials, which will be made freely available to the research community and disseminated across other CTSA institutions.
Motivations for Participating in Biobanking for Research
At present, a substantial portion of research with biospecimens – e.g., blood and tissue samples collected from patients and research participants – falls outside the scope of federal law and does not require informed consent from specimen sources. However, there are circumstances where prospective consent is needed or sought, and this will become increasingly true if proposed revisions to the federal regulations are finalized. In that context, it is essential to better understand why individuals agree or do not agree to have their biospecimens used for research purposes. This project undertakes an empirical research project in collaboration with colleagues at Partners HealthCare, Emory University, and the Medical University of South Carolina, administering surveys about why people agree or decline to participate in biobanking protocols. This data will be used to target educational efforts and refine the biobank recruitment process, issuing in a 'points to consider' guidance document for institutions and research staff involved in biobank recruitment that will be made available to the research community and disseminated across CTSA institutions.
There is growing interest in the research community in documenting informed consent for research using digital platforms and electronic means. While the federal government has issued guidance stating that e-consent is acceptable under certain circumstances, there remains uncertainty about how to implement e-consent in ways that comply with state laws and minimize ethical concerns. This project aims to provide practical recommendations to IRBs and investigators faced with navigating the legal and ethical challenges of using electronic means to document informed consent for research. It hopes to issue a practical guidance document aimed at facilitating the adoption of legally compliant and ethically sound e-consent processes by institutions.
Simplifying Consent
This project aims to create a simplified consent form separating the explanation of study-specific research information from common elements of consent (e.g., subject injury, HIPAA), by harmonizing language between different institutional consent forms and convening focus groups to reach consensus on what should be in a standardized section. It is positioned to deliver a template consent form and standardized language that can be adopted and used across institutions and institutional contexts, and that can be presented to the research community and other CTSA institutions as a way of simplifying their consent forms and processes.
Educational Initiatives
The Center's affiliates working on this project have also been involved in various educational initiatives, including lectures for Harvard Catalyst's Introduction to Translational Medicine (ITTM) course, the Catalyst Clinical Trial Design Course, and Catalyst's Program in Clinical and Translational Investigation (PCaTS).

Pimples occur mainly due to hormonal imbalances which causes an overproduction of oil and cells inside a skin follicle. They block the opening of the skin pore and cause the follicle under the skin to swell and become red. It usually starts in teenage, but most of the time lasts into adulthood. Pimples can't be cured, but it can be controlled with treatment. There are many over the counter medications available in pharmacy but you need to use skin products which are most suitable to your skin. Avoid taking anti-acne medications without knowing a skin type. Contact a dermatologist in your area to know your the cause of your pimples and let them advise you the medications and skin products most suitable to your skin for remarkable results.
