     As illustrated in  FIG. 1A , microphone accessory  3502  may be attached, removably or permanently, to handle  3501  of microphone  3500 . Microphone accessory  3502  may be attached, permanently or removably, to a microphone or non-microphone holder, stem, stalk, handle, extender, stand, coupler and so on. Microphone accessory  3502  may display at least one communication  3510  on at least one side. Using electrical and/or electronic and/or electromechanical and/or mechanical means, microphone accessory  3502  may, in use, rotate about microphone handle  3501 , at the rotation speed selected by the user thereof and/or may stop/start rotating and remain in a stationary position for a period of time selected by the user thereof. 
     For example, as illustrated in  FIG. 1A , microphone accessory  3502  may have a cuboidal body and may display communication A on side, or in other words display face,  3510  and/or communication B on side/display face  3511  and/or communication C on side/display face  3512  and/or communication D on side/display face  3513 . Using an electromechanical arrangement (not illustrated), when activated according the input/s of the user, microphone flag accessory  3502  and/or the faces  3510 ,  3511 ,  3512 ,  3513  may rotate in the direction as indicated by arrows  3514  and  3515 , or in the opposite direction as the case may be in response to a control signal received. Camera  3600  may film accessory  3502  and may film and/or transmit front facing side  3510  which displays communication A to an audience of viewers. 
     Once rotated, as illustrated in  FIG. 1B , side  3510  which displays communication A has moved to the position formerly occupied by side  3511  which displays communication B, side  3511  which displays communication B has moved to the position formerly occupied by side  3512  which displays communication C, side  3512  which displays communication C has moved to the position formerly occupied by side  3513  which displays communication D and side  3513  which displays communication D has moved to the position formerly occupied by side  3510  which displays communication A. Camera  3600  may film the rotation of the accessory  3502 , in whole or in part, for as many rotations or part thereof as desired, and may transmit such filming to an audience of viewers. Significantly, the viewer/s may view a plurality of communications from a microphone that remains totally or substantially stationary, or that is moved between an interviewer and interviewee, while the rotation of the accessory  3502  enables a plurality of sides and/or communications of the accessory  3502  to be viewed by the audience. Importantly, this allows the user of the microphone accessory  3502  to generate incremental revenue from the display of more than one communication to the audience of viewers. 
     The rotation of accessory  3502  may be achieved using a plurality of means and/or arrangements, which may include electro-mechanical systems, means and methods. 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 2 , in one exemplary embodiment, microphone accessory  3502 &#39;s system or arrangement  3512  may comprise the necessary components, configurations and arrangements such that microphone accessory  3502  may work in the manner contemplated herein, and may include a plurality of components, including at least one of electric motor, power source, gear, pulley, rod, sensor, drive shaft, rotation sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, light sensor, proximity sensor, motion sensor, infrared sensor, temperature sensor, pressure sensor, wheel, solenoid, roller, o-ring, belt, geared motor, stepped motor, brush motor, stepper motor, gear pairs, hyphoid gear, ring gear, differential, spindles, bearing, wire, battery, charger, light, controller, circuitry, computer, clock, timer, hardware, software, memory, receivers, transmitter, wire, antenna and so on (in whole or in part comprising the system or configuration or arrangement  3512 ). 
     Microphone handle  3501  may be inserted through aperture or bore  3601  of microphone accessory  3502 . Wheels or rollers  3602  and  3603  may frictionally engage with microphone handle  3501 , such that microphone accessory  3502  remains attached to microphone handle  3501 , permanently or removably. Rollers  3602  and  3603  may be attached to electric motors  3604  and  3605 , respectively, using rods  3606  and  3607 , respectively, which motors  3604  and  3605  may be attached to microphone accessory  3502 , as illustrated. The rollers  3602 ,  3603  may be rubberised or comprise a suitable resilient exterior so as to aid in gripping the handle  3501 , in use. 
     Controller  3608 , which may store data and/or which may receive operational data remotely using wireless  3609  means and/or wired means, may be powered by battery  3610 , which may be rechargeable, and may send at least one control signal, using wires  3611  and/or  3612  or wirelessly  3609 , to motors  3604  and  3605  respectively. It will be understood that the control signal may be generated in response to an actuator being operated by a user. Such signal/s may cause motors  3604  and  3605  to rotate at a predetermined rate or desired amount or degrees, thereby causing attaching rods  3606  and  3607 , respectively, to rotate, which in turn causes rollers  3602  and  3603 , respectively, to rotate. For example, if roller  3602  rotates in the direction of arrow  3620 , this will cause microphone flag accessory  3502  to rotate in the direction of arrows  3622 , which in turn causes communication A at point  3631  to move to point  3632  and which in turn causes communication B at point  3633  to move to point  3634  and which in turn causes communication C at point  3635  to move to point  3636  and which in turn causes communication D at point  3637  to move to point  3638 , and so on. Should roller  3603  rotate in the direction of arrow  3621 , then the accessory  3502  will rotate in the opposite direction to that of arrows  3622 . The controller may be one or more microprocessors and/or microcontrollers having an associated memory storing a set of non-transitory computer executable instructions which when executed by the controller causes the same to operate as described herein. 
     When accessory  3502  displays communication A at point  3631 , camera  3700  may film communication A and transmit such communication to an audience of viewers which may view communication A displayed on microphone accessory  3502 . When rotated as illustrated, and when accessory  3502  displays communication D at point  3638 , camera  3700  may film communication D and transmit such film to an audience of viewers which may view communication D displayed on microphone flag accessory  3502 , and so on. 
     In an alternative embodiment (not illustrated), a portion of a microphone handle, to which a conventional static microphone flag may be attached, may rotate, as desired by the user thereof, thereby causing the conventional microphone flag to rotate, instead of the microphone flag accessory  3502  causing itself to rotate about the handle of a microphone handle. The microphone  3500  or microphone handle  3501  may comprise the necessary components and/or displacement arrangements as disclosed above and/or described herein (not illustrated) to enable such rotation, as desired, of the conventional static microphone flag. 
     In an alternative embodiment, as illustrated in the exploded view in  FIG. 3A , accessory  3000  may comprise a rotatable accessory  3001  and/or a cylindrical handle receiver portion  3002 , which may be attached, permanently or removably, using at least one attachment means such as frictional engagement, magnets  3003 ,  3004 , male-female attachment, clip on-off, dimples, and so on. A microphone (not illustrated) may be inserted into the hollow opening or bore  3005  of accessory  3001  and/or through or into hollow opening or bore  3006  of handle receiver portion  3002 . In the event that the handle receiver portion  3002  is not attached to accessory  3001 , then accessory  3001  may attach, using a plurality of means, such as frictional engagement, collar, clips and so on, to a microphone (not illustrated), permanently or removably. Handle receiver portion  3002  may comprise a foam cover  3007  for the comfort of the user. 
     Accessory  3001  may comprise a body having at least one display face  3008 , or more particularly a plurality of display faces  3008 ,  3009 ,  3010  and  3011 .

     In a preferred embodiment, static display  3013  may be in the form of removable panels  3013 , for example, magnetic paper panels onto which non-electronic non-variable static communication  3015  may be printed, and similarly static display  3014  may comprise magnetic paper panels onto which non-electronic non-variable static communication  3018  may be printed. 
     Static display  3013  and static display  3014  may be configured to substantially align with and/or to have substantially or exactly the same dimensions as that of display face  3008  and  3009 , respectively. 
     Notably, due to the use of magnets  3015  and  3016  in sides  3008  and  3009 , respectively, and the use of magnetic paper  3013  and  3014 , respectively, communications  3015  and  3018  may be quickly and easily replaced, in use, while conventional microphone flags require some time to print and replace the communications on their faces. The ease and speed of replacement of communications using accessory  3001  is valuable to users of accessory  3001 . Alternatively, in place of using magnets, at least one side may comprise magnetic rubber and or steel rubber and or steel paper. 
     Accessory  3000  may comprise a displacement arrangement comprising all the components required to make the accessory rotate about its central axis and function as disclosed herein. For example, the accessory  3000  may comprise the accessory housing  3019 , which may comprise at least one side/display face or a plurality of sides/displace faces and may be comprise a plurality of shapes, such as triangular, square, oblong, and so on, and which may comprise the attaching and/or detaching systems, means and/or methods for the displays; and the displacement arrangement located in the housing  3019 . The displacement arrangement may comprise the rotator  3020 ; battery charger  3021 ; battery  3022 ; rotator O-ring receiver  3023 ; O-ring  3024 ; pulley  3025 ; motor  3026 ; bearing  3027 ; switch  3028  (see  FIG. 3B ); circuit/controller/computer/electronics  3029  (see  FIG. 3B ); sensors  3030 ,  3031 ; and sensor markers  3032 ,  3033 .

The rotatory coupled with the housing or body  3019  thus is rotatably displaceable around the internal frame and thus the axis of the central bore  3005 ,  3006 , in use. 
     In use, the accessory housing  3019  may be attached to the rotator  3020 . Battery  3022 , which may be charged by battery charger  3021 , may power motor  3026 , which may be operatively attached to pulley  3025  by motor rod  3032  (see  FIG. 3B ). O-ring  3024  may be attached to and frictionally engage with pulley  3025  and to rotator  3020 , which may comprise a recess into which the O-ring may be frictionally engaged. When manually switched on using actuator/switch  3028  (see  FIG. 3B ), the battery  3022  powers motor  3026  and controller  3029  generates an actuation or control signal (see  FIG. 3B ). In response to receipt of the control signal, the motor  3026  rotates causing pulley  3025  to rotate, which causes O-ring  3024  to rotate, which causes rotator  3020  to rotate, which in turn causes accessory housing or body  3019  to rotate about an axis of the bore  3005  and/or  3006 , thereby causing a plurality of communications on the display faces  3008 ,  3009 ,  3010  and  3011  to be rotated and displayed, which rotation and display of the plurality of communications may be filmed, transmitted and viewed by an audience. The accessory  3000  may rotate at a selected speed or predetermined speed until manually switched off by the user actuating switch  3028 . 
     Additionally, accessory  3000  may comprise at least one sensor  3030  or a plurality of sensors  3030 ,  3031  and sensor markers  3032 ,  3033  of different colours. In use, when a sensor, say colour detection sensor  3031  reaches sensor marker  3032 , a signal may be sent to controller  3029  which may then send a signal to motor  3026  causing motor  3026  to stop for a specified duration, which in turn causes accessory housing  3019  to stop rotating. After a certain time period, controller  3029  may send a signal to motor  3026  to resume turning, and so on. To this end, the colour detection sensors  3030 ,  3031  may be in the form of optical detector operable to detect variation in colour between at least marker  3032  and  3033 . It will be understood that in some example embodiments (not shown), the markers  3032  and  3033  may be displaceable and the sensors  3030 ,  3031  may be fixed but the operation thereof is substantially similar to that described above. 
     In one example embodiment, the accessory  3000  may rotate at a speed determined by the gearing ratio of the pulley  3025  to the rotator  3020  and/or at a speed determined by the user of the accessory  3000  at which to rotate the motor  3026 , which speed of rotation may be determined and controlled by inputs to the controller  3029  (see  FIG. 3 b   ), whether wired or wireless, programmable or pre-programmed. 
     Accessory  3000  may rotate at a certain (and changeable) speed, then stop at a designated point for a desired (and changeable) period of time, then resume rotation, then stop at a designated point for a desired period of time, and so on. 
     Alternative systems, means and methods may be used to achieve similar or same results, such as using a stepper motor, server motor and so on. 
     Accessory  3000  may comprise auditing modules or components (not illustrated) to indicate when and where the accessory was used, the duration of use, speed of rotation, and so on. The data may be collected and stored locally by accessory  3000  and/or transmitted, by wire or wirelessly, to a receiver, which may receive, store and analyse the data received. 
     In an alternative embodiment, the components and arrangements causing the rotation of housing  3019  may be all or partly comprised in the handle  3002 . For example, handle  3002  may comprise the motor  3040 , battery  3041  and controller  3042 , none of which may be housed with housing  3019 . Rod  3043  may be attached to motor  3040  and may attach to pulley  3025 . When the motor  3040  housed inside (or outside, not illustrated) handle  3002  rotates, this causes pulley  3025  to rotate, which in turn causes O-ring  3024  to rotate, which in turn causes housing  3019  to rotate. 
     Handle  3002  may comprise at least one attaching means  3052  for attaching thereto, permanently or removably, at least one handle display  3050 . Handle display  3050  may be attached and/or detached to attaching means  3052  using a plurality of means, such as magnet  3053 , velcro, male-female clips, friction, and so on. 
     At least one handle display  3050  may display at least one communication  3051 . The handle display  3050  may comprise at least one electronically variable display means for displaying at least one electronically variable communication and/or the handle display  3050  may comprise at least one static display for displaying at least one non-electronic non-variable static communication  3054 , such as a printed communication  3051 , which may be printed on a plurality of materials such as vinyl, paper, magnetic paper  3054 , and so on. 
     In a preferred embodiment, handle display  3050  may comprise magnets  3055  to which static display  3054 , comprised of magnetic paper, may attach, permanently or removably. Non-electronic non-variable static communication  3051  may be printed onto static display  3054 . An plurality of alternative attachment means may be used to attach static communication  3051  to handle display  3050  such as adhesive, velcro and so on. Static communication  3051  may be printed directly onto handle display  3050 . 
     Static display  3054  and/or static communication  3051  may be configured to substantially align with and/or to have substantially or exactly the same dimensions as that of handle display  3050 . 
     Notably, due to the use of magnets  3055  of handle display  3050  and the use of magnetic paper  3054 , communication  3051  may be quickly and easily replaced, in use. The ease and speed of replacement of communication  3051  using handle display  3050  is valuable to users of accessory  3000 . 
     As illustrated in  FIG. 3B , accessory  3000  may be controlled by wire or wirelessly, manually and/or remotely. For example, a wireless signal  3033  may be sent from device  3034  and/or from the internet  3055  and/or from other suitable devices or systems to controller  3029  providing controller  3029  with a set of data and/or instructions such as when to start and stop, the speed of rotation, when and where and for how long to pause rotation before resuming rotation, what actions to repeat, and so on.
