Als Nadelhalter werden chirurgische Instrumente bezeichnet, die beim chirurgischen Nähen die Nadel fest halten. Es existieren verschiedene Typen.

Aufbau und Funktionsweise
In den operativen Fachgebieten werden Nähte nahezu ausschließlich unter Benutzung eines Nadelhalters angelegt. Die Gründe hierfür liegen zum Ersten in der erforderlichen exakten Kontrolle der Nadeln, zum Zweiten in der Notwendigkeit, Nähte auch in tiefen, schlecht erreichbaren Operationsgebieten anlegen zu können und zum Dritten in der bestmöglichen Vermeidung eines Verletzungsrisikos für den Chirurgen. Nadelstichverletzungen mit Durchspießung des Operationshandschuhs können beim Chirurgen zu Infektionen mit Hepatitis-Viren, HIV und Erregern bakterieller Erkrankungen führen und umgekehrt können beschädigte Handschuhe und Wunden an der Hand des Chirurgen Wundinfektionen beim Patienten hervorrufen. Feine, atraumatische Nadeln lassen sich nur mit einem solchen Instrument fassen und führen. Mit dem Nadelhalter lassen sich Chirurgenknoten leichter durchführen. Die Nadelhalter werden je nach Anwendungsbereich, beispielsweise der Mikrochirurgie, Microdentistry oder Parodontalchirurgie, in verschiedenen Größen angefertigt.

Ein Nadelhalter hat immer spezielle Backen, in denen die Nadel zum Schutz gegen Verrutschen eingespannt wird. Zu diesem Zweck verfügen die Backen oder deren gehärtetes Futter über spezielle Oberflächenstrukturen, sind beispielsweise fischgräten- oder waffelartig geriffelt oder mit einer Rinne versehen, die dem Durchmesser der Nadel angepasst ist.

Ein Nadelhalter ist in der Regel mit einer Arretierung (dem so genannten Schloss), versehen, die ein ungewolltes Öffnen verhindert. Das Scharnier ist immer doppelt ausgeführt. Dadurch kann sich der Faden nicht am Nadelhalter verfangen und zugleich gewinnt ein Nadelhalter mit sehr langen Branchen (Handbügel), wie er zum Nähen in der Tiefe nötig ist, zusätzliche Stabilität.

Nadelhalter sind in der Regel aus elastischem Edelstahl gefertigt. Da die Branchen beim Halten der Nadel viel Kraft aufnehmen müssen und diese Stähle keine genügend große Oberflächenhärte besitzen, verfügen die meisten Nadelhalter über aufgesetzte Sintermetallbacken.
Mit dem Nadelhalter kann nicht nur genäht, sondern auch geknotet werden. Dazu ist das Äußere der Backen und Schenkel abgerundet, glatt und nichtverhakend gestaltet.

Verschiedene gebräuchliche Typen
Chirurgen sind bemüht, mit möglichst gut geeigneten Werkzeugen zu arbeiten. Daher wurden und werden viele chirurgische Instrumente von Chirurgen in Zusammenarbeit mit Metallurgen und Werkzeugmachern/Chirurgeninstrumentenmachern entwickelt. Modelle, die weite Verbreitung gefunden haben, werden oft nach ihrem Erfinder benannt. Alle Nadelhalter werden in unterschiedlichen Größen hergestellt, die dem jeweiligen Operationsgebiet und der Faden- bzw. Nadelstärke angepasst ist. Es existieren zahlreiche Modelle von Nadelhaltern, zwei der gebräuchlichsten werden im Folgenden beschrieben.

Nadelhalter nach Hegar/Olsen

Der älteste aller heute noch in dieser Konfiguration gebräuchliche Nadelhalter ist der Nadelhalter nach Hegar, entwickelt vom Gynäkologen Alfred Hegar (1830–1914). Er ist in der Art einer Fasszange ausgeführt, immer gerade und hat ein Waffelmuster auf den Backen. Die Griffe sind ca. zwei Finger lang und das Scharnier ist durchgesteckt ausgeführt. Am Ende befindet sich eine Sperre mit meistens zwei, bei sehr langen Nadelhaltern drei Rasten. Hegar als gynäkologischer Operateur, benötigte einen Nadelhalter zum Operieren in der Tiefe bei relativ geringer Öffnung des Operationsfeldes. Der relativ lange, schlanke Nadelhalter gewährleistet sichere Führung der Nadel ohne die Sicht auf das Operationsfeld einzuschränken.

Nadelhalter nach Mathieu

Der Nadelhalter nach Mathieu ist viel leichter gebaut als der nach Hegar/Olsen. Aufgrund seines keilförmigen Profils ist er weniger für tiefe Nähte geeignet, sein Vorteil liegt in der schnelleren, leichteren Handhabung. Bei Nähten, die häufiges Umgreifen erfordern (fortlaufende Nähte, Anastomosen etc.), lässt sich ein Zeitgewinn mit geringerem Krafteinsatz erzielen.
Der Nadelhalter nach Matthieu findet auch in der Kieferorthopädie häufige Anwendung bei der Multiband-, Multibrackettechnik.

Nadelhalter nach Hagedorn

Werner August Hagedorn (1831–1894) entwickelte einen nach ihm benannten Nadelhalter, den unbequemen "Hagedorn".

Religious beliefs, philosophical concerns or health may all lead a person to follow a vegetarian diet. But, becoming a vegetarian — especially if you've been a lifelong meat-eater — isn't always easy. Your best bet? Switch to a vegetarian diet in steps. A gradual change will give you time to find vegetarian foods that you enjoy.
A good first step is to review your current diet. Make a list of foods that you regularly eat, paying special attention to vegetarian foods that you like. Next, aim to incorporate these foods — along with a variety of whole grains, fruits, vegetables and beans — into your eating plan. A good way to include vegetables, for example, is to add them to the foods you already enjoy, such as pasta or rice dishes.
Plant-based, meat-free products offer the opportunity to get the taste and flavor of meat without consuming the real thing. Choices may include soybean proteins, wheat proteins and other vegetable sources. Check your grocer's freezer department for vegetarian versions of hamburger, sausage, chicken or bacon. These are tasty additions to dishes including chili or casseroles.
If you're going vegan and eliminating all animal-based food products, look for dairy substitutes including calcium-fortified soy milk and yogurt.
Pick up a vegetarian cookbook or search the internet for vegetarian recipes and meal ideas, and explore vegetarian foods from various global cuisines. While American cuisine can be meat-focused, it's easy to find ample vegetarian options on many Asian, Indian and Middle Eastern menus. The supermarket is a good place to find vegetarian ingredients and ready-to-eat meatless foods from around the world.
Label reading is essential for vegetarians since some seemingly meat-free foods actually contain animal-based ingredients such as lard, chicken fat or gelatin. Ingredients are listed in order from the largest amount to the smallest. These lists can help you make informed choices and avoid packaged foods made with ingredients you will not eat.
Another reason to read labels is to ensure you're getting essential vitamins and minerals. Poorly planned diets of any kind can lead to health problems. Most people get iron, zinc, vitamin B12, calcium and vitamin D from animal products such as meat and milk. It's important for vegans and vegetarians to include other sources of these nutrients in their daily eating plans.
One good way to do this is to review the Nutrition Facts label. This part of the label lists the serving size, as well as the nutrients in one serving. You can use this information to help ensure you're choosing foods rich in vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber. To limit added sugars, avoid foods that list sugar, corn syrup or honey as one of the first ingredients.
It is a myth that vegetarians can't get enough protein in their diets. Vegetarians easily can meet their protein needs when they eat a variety of plant proteins and get enough calories. Plant proteins can provide all the essential amino acids that your body needs. Whole grains, beans, lentils and nuts are good sources of protein. Eating a variety of different plant proteins each day helps your body store and use protein.
Plan meals around whole grains, vegetables, fruits and beans. This ensures a variety and balance of nutrients, including fiber, protein and health-promoting phytochemicals.
Cook with heart-healthy fats such as canola and olive oil, which are rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Include plant sources of fat, such as avocado, nuts and seeds, to salads and other dishes.
Use fresh and dried herbs and spices for extra flavor. Mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, hummus and fresh salsa are flavorful condiments.


Last night we got to join Matt & Sandy at Hunter Street church's Trunk or Treat. They sure had a great turnout! It was jam-packed with princesses, super-heros, football players, and other characters, and there was a parking-lot-full of trunks to visit, all decorated in a different theme. Georgia was a little intimidated at first, but she only had to hear "You're the cutest pumpkin ever!" a few times and drop the first handful of candy in her bucket to find her true Halloween confidence. Soon she was running ahead (but still w/in arm's reach!) of Sandy & me to get to the next trunk for some treats. And the ones that just had a big bucket of candy open on the ground were in trouble- as the kids came up to them the adults would say "Pick one!", but Georgia doesn't know what ONE means, so she'd quickly grab a handful (it's amazing how much fits in one little hand!) and be reaching for another handful before we could blink! Her favorite trunk, though, was the one with the bubble machine and rock band. She was totally digging it until she got blasted from the fog machine- from then on she partied a little more cautiously!
Thanks for sharing the fun, Phelps!
This little pumpkin loves bubbles!
Pumpkin love for Sandy, Matt & Mommy!
Great pictures! We had a lot of fun with all three of you last night. I may steal a few of these pictures to add to our blog! See you this weekend for GA's Halloween part 2!
You are the cutest pumpkin I've seen! Rollins loves pumpkins and can't wait to see you tomorrow!
Happy Halloween from a little Punkin!

The big rumor today—both entirely plausible and totally absurd—is that former President Bill Clinton, while on a trip to Thailand (!), filmed a cameo appearance for the forthcoming The Hangover Part II. It prompted me to post the following witticism to the BQT Twitter feed: "President Clinton to cameo in The Hangover 2. Reminds me of when Grover Cleveland played Handkerchief Holder #3 in Fred Ott's Sneeze." Obscure, yeah, but it's my damn tweet.
But then I got to think a little more about this—a former President showing up in a testoster-raunch comedy film? What kind of real precedent to we have for this? I began to formulate a full blog post, but Salon.com has beaten me to it, with a great item about Presidents (and VPs, and First Ladies) who've embraced showbiz post–White House. I had no idea about Ronald Reagan's All-Star Game adventure; I wish they had audio of that, but it seems to have evaded the Interwebs.
And I'm amazed that there's no video of George Bush the Elder smacking down Dana Carvey. I've seen it on TV several times, and its apparent absence on YouTube is stunning. Instead, try this: Carvey's memories of meeting the real Bush, back when he was funny ("he" being Carvey, not Bush—though I guess Bush applies too).

Crime and immigration Updated
Do poor labor market opportunities lead to migrant crime?
King's College London, UK
Immigration is one of the most important policy debates in Western countries. However, one aspect of the debate is often mischaracterized by accusations that higher levels of immigration lead to higher levels of crime. The evidence, based on empirical studies of many countries, indicates that there is no simple link between immigration and crime, but legalizing the status of immigrants has beneficial effects on crime rates. Crucially, the evidence points to substantial differences in the impact on property crime, depending on the labor market opportunities of immigrant groups.
There is no evidence that immigration has caused a crime problem across countries.
Immigrants with good labor market opportunities appear no more likely to commit crime than similar natives.
Making sure that immigrants are able to legally find work appears to significantly reduce their criminal activity.
Public concern over immigration includes a perception that immigrants increase the level of crime.
Immigrants facing poor labor market opportunities are more likely to commit property crimes.
Author's main message
There is no simple link between immigration and crime. Most studies find that larger immigrant concentrations in an area have no association with violent crime and, overall, fairly weak effects on property crime. However, immigrant groups that face poor labor market opportunities are more likely to commit property crime. But this is also true of disadvantaged native groups. The policy focus should therefore be on the crime-reducing benefits of improving the functioning of labor markets and workers' skills, rather than on crime and immigration per se. There is also a case for ensuring that immigrants can legally obtain work in the receiving country, since the evidence shows that such legalization programs tend to reduce criminal activity among the targeted group.

NGOs Contribute to Cycle of Corruption: Filmmaker
Wrong Kind of Green Jun 21, 2012 Humanitarian Agencies, Non-Profit Industrial Complex
Men Kimseng, VOA Khmer
"There is a lot of nepotism, false contracts, and so the dollars that are meant to get to the poor and the impoverished…"

Cambodia is facing a cycle of continued aid dependency and corruption, with much of the money granted by the international community getting lost and little being done to curb the problem, an American filmmaker says.
Tim Sorel, who produced the short documentary "The Trap of Saving Cambodia," told VOA Khmer that local and international NGOs are complicit in the nation's corruption because they allow it or abet it.
The government is granted more than $1 billion in aid money each year from a host of countries, including the US and China. Much of it is lost to corruption or other malfeasance.
"There is a lot of nepotism, false contracts, and so the dollars that are meant to get to the poor and the impoverished never quite get there because they are being tied up in the system of corruption," Sorel said.
However, some NGOs are starting to stand up to it and refusing to pay bribes or tolerate other forms of corruption, he said.
The film came after Sorel worked with a rural NGO to provide drinking water to rural Cambodians and found it had to bribe local officials in order to conduct its work.
"I was absolutely shocked by this," he said. "It's absurd."
The 27-minute film follows the work of a leading NGO working to rally support for an end to widespread land grabbing in Cambodia. Rampant corruption in Cambodia has meant that thousands of families in both the cities and the countryside have been displaced.
"People are being herded like cattle onto trucks, driven 20 miles outside the city and dropped into a rice paddy," Sorel said.
And while some observers have warned that these conditions could lead to social unrest or an uprising, Sorel said he doubts this will happen in the near future.
"I think the citizens are very tired," he said. "They are exhausted. They just want peace and quiet in their lives right now, so I don't think that there is enough spirit, if you will, right now in current-day Cambodia to have that kind of civil uprising."

"Unlike the Latin American left, the pathetic European version has lost all sense of what it means to do politics. It does not try to propose concrete solutions to problems, and is only able to take moral stances, in particular denouncing dictators and human rights violations in grandiloquent tones. The social democratic left follows the right with at best a few years delay and has no ideas of its own. The "radical" left often manages both to denounce Western governments in every possible way and to demand that those same governments intervene militarily around the globe to defend democracy. Their lack of political reflection makes them highly vulnerable to disinformation campaigns and to becoming passive cheerleaders of US-NATO wars. That left has no coherent program and would not know what to do even if a god put them into power." - Jean Bricmont


We derive recursive representations of nonlinear moving average (NLMA) perturbations of DSGE models. As the stability of higher order NLMA representations follows directly from stability at first order, these recursive representations provide rigorous support for the practice of pruning that is becoming widespread. Our recursive representation differs from pruned perturbations in that it centers the approximation and its coefficients at the approximation of the stochastic steady state consistent with the order of approximation. We compare our algorithm with six different pruning algorithms at second and third order, documenting the differences between these six algorithms and standard (non pruned) state space perturbations at first, second, and third order in a unified notation compatible with the popular software package Dynare. While our third order algorithm is the most accurate, the gains over two alternate algorithms are modest, suggesting that this choice is unlikely to be a potential source of error.

$2.3 Million Honus Wagner Baseball Card Packed In Small Gym Bag Takes NYC By Storm
David Seideman
Sep 24, 2016, 04:14pm EDT |
Ken Goldin and his publicist Doug Drotman could be excused for arriving late to their own press event in midtown Manhattan at NYY Steak, an upscale Yankees-themed steak house down the street from Radio City Musical Hall. Their meeting with Sports Illustrated editorial staff went into overtime because of all the excitement their pitch was generating. At noon they finally arrived carrying nothing but a small, black gym bag filled with millions of dollars of baseball cards, including the much-celebrated $2.280 million 1910 Honus Wagner now up for auction. (It closes on October 1st.) Accompanying them was Goldin's very own security guard, a muscular man no one in their right mind would mess with.

Goldin and Drotman pulled the treasures out of the bag. Besides the 1910 Wagner tobacco card with an amazing back story, there were Mickey Mantle ($240,000), Roberto Clemente ($240,000), and Duke Snider ($140,000) rookies— all ultra-rare in perfect and near-perfect condition as if preserved in amber. In one of several interviews with Goldin, a New York Post reporter, untutored in the exotic world of baseball card collecting, asked the day's burning question: What accounts for the meteoric rise in baseball cards in recent years? She couldn't get her head wrapped around the Wagner card's potential to double in value in three years from $2.1 million.

"It's a contest between serious collectors and serious investors," Goldin explained. "For people with excess income it's more fun than owning a Warhol or a Picasso."
Auction houses don't transport Picassos in gym bags. Nor do their well-heeled clients usually show up in jeans as they did to size up the Wagner and Mantles. But the connections between fine art and baseball cards are not as far-fetched as they may seem. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has two baseball card exhibits currently on display; one permanent, the other temporary through November 13, 2016. The collection, which began in mid-20th century with the massive donation by a reclusive lifelong hobbyist, Jefferson Burdick, shows the history of graphic art in American popular culture.

"Having a baseball card special exhibit at the Met is glamorous," says Alice Scovell Coleman, an art history lecturer in the Learning to Look program who lives near the museum and frequents it. "And it attests to the cards' place in the popular imagination, as well as the artistry of the cards. The Met knows that the highly colorful cards will appeal to a certain segment. Get them through the door. Some people criticize the Costume Institute and its exhibits, but I like that the Met is willing to embrace non-traditional 'art.'"

If you had invested in a Warhol or a Wagner 20 to 30 years ago, you'd be very rich today. Erik Pendzich, a Rex Features photographer shooting the Wagner and Goldin in Manhattan, told me that he could have bought a Wagner for $20,000 in 1986 (the equivalent of $44,000 in 2016) when he was a collector, but could not come up with the dough. Today even a Wagner in poor condition fetches several hundred thousand dollars. (For a healthy perspective on not second-guessing yourself, see "I Could Have Been a Multi-Millionaire,' Says Son of Honus Wagner Baseball Card's First Finder.'")

A few minutes later one of Goldin's heavy-hitter clients stopped by to check out the merchandise in person. Politely requesting anonymity, he told Goldin and me that in 2000 he lost the notorious Gretzky Wagner in an auction's last seconds. The price, $1.27 million, turned out to be a pretty good deal because the Gretzky sold for $2.7 million seven years later, although it was seriously altered. (See "A 'Heinous Crime' May Be Lifting the $1.8 Million Honus Wagner Now Up for Auction.")
After Goldin finished his final interview, Drotman helped him pack up. As he was about to put the Wagner in a torn padded envelope back in the gym bag, I asked if I could hold the card for a few seconds before it embarked on its 100-mile journey back to Goldin's office in New Jersey where it will remain for another week until another rich man becomes its proud new owner.

It happens to everyone, data isn't where you think it is, transformations are not available for a particular combination of datums, or administrative settings stop you from doing what you think you should be able to do. This session will focus on what happens when things go wrong. We will take a look at troubleshooting steps you can use to figure out exactly why something isn't working as you expect it to, and find ways to get back on track.

The Marina Picture Palace/Videomania/For Lease – Rosebery, NSW
By Michael Wayne on May 30, 2012 | 13 Comments
Let's go back to the world of movies with this piece of work. It's been sitting on Gardeners Road, Rosebery for a long time, and it shows. The signs promise 'Videomania', but for the last ten years it's been derelict. Before we perform the post-mortem, let's take a moment to reflect upon the life and times of the former Marina Theatre…
The Marina Theatre, 1941. Note the two sweet shops sitting to the left of the cinema. Also notice the bicyclists not wearing helmets, a quick way to end up with a puddin' head. Image courtesy City of Botany Bay Local History Image Archive.
The Marina Picture Palace opened in June, 1927 with a hot double feature of Sparrows, starring Mary Pickford, and The Beloved Rogue, with John Barrymore.
Here's an off-topic aside: The Beloved Rogue became a lost film for 40 years after its release until a well-preserved copy was found in the private collection of Mary Pickford. Now we can all enjoy Barrymore's admitted overacting as Francois Villon. At least, we could if our video shops were as open as they used to be.
For those with a romantic image of how the cinemagoing experience used to be, and how grand it would have been back then to while away an afternoon at the picture palace, please allow me to now rain on your parade (or spoil your ending). In a scene more suited to modern-day Greater Union Hurstville, 'excitement prevailed' at the Marina in 1928:
Townsville Daily Bulletin, 3 Apr 1928.
The reference to 'complete order' is very Third Reich, isn't it? Also, it really was 'fortunate', wasn't it, that the molotov fell into the 'side aisles' (cheap seats). Yes, what a bit of excitement.
The Marina Theatre, 1952. Note that only one sweet shop remains. Image courtesy Sydney Reference Collection.
From the early 1960s, the cinema opened and closed a number of times under various independent ownerships. It's safe to say that if even Hoyts wasn't taking the bait and buying it up, it must have had something wrong with it. The Marina's stop-start existence carried on throughout the next twenty years until it was renamed the Rosebery Cinema in the early 80s. That'll get the crowds back in. Or maybe it was to fool the molotov throwers into thinking it was a different cinema? Either way, GOOD PLAN. So good in fact that the Marina closed for good as a theatre in 1984.
Here's where we come in. Since that time it's been Videomania, and now a derelict hulk. It's a close call, but one of these incarnations is slightly more interesting. Fittingly, Videomania closed in 2002, when video-mania had all but died out, and videomaniacs had flocked to DVD. Rather than switching to a better quality format that takes up less shelf space, Videomania chose to fall on its sword.
You mean 'weeklies'.
Even though the site is empty, the front window still contains some strange sights.
This trading hours sign indicates that the video shop NEVER CLOSED. Finding this is like finding a gravestone that reads B. 1929 D. —
A series of Greek film posters sit in the window too. Doesn't that one on the right look enticing. Can't wait to see that one.
There's a poster for the Nintendo 64 game Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, which was released in 1997. The Nintendo 64 was discontinued in 2001, and Acclaim, the company responsible for Turok, went out of business in 2004. Fitting choice.
My favourite, and most bizarrely of all, is this full sized Leonardo standup. This isn't the first time I've encountered the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles during my adventures with this blog, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Leo stands as the building's watchful protector – ready to cut down intruders with his blunt katana and a killer smile.
The sign at the front advertises The Full Monty, another 1997 release. Or at least, it did once upon a time. It's often irritating to only get to see some of these places from the outside. You stand there wondering what it must be like inside given how well-preserved the exterior is, and whether the other Ninja Turtles are lurking within. Well, wonder no more, as thanks to the folks at Kelly & Sons Real Estate, we can get quite a good look at what's happening inside the old Marina:
Image courtesy Kelly & Sons Real Estate.
Remember, if you like what you see, you too can lease this bad boy for only $130k pa. What a steal! Kelly & Sons – holla at me so I can let you know where to send my commission.
What an ugly building. There, I said it.
Despite Videomania acting as a testament to the failure of the video shop concept in Rosebery, Top Video at some point decided to make a go of it next door. Smart thinking.
Setting up in what was clearly a bank (and before that, the Marina's sweet shops), Top Video expected to bank fat coin on the back of Videomania's failure.
The new release poster left inside suggests that things went wrong around 2008-09. A legacy that started with Sparrows ends with You Don't Mess With the Zohan.
As I turned to leave, I took one last look back at Videomania, and it looked like the building was crying. Look at those top windows. It was as if the theatre was imploring me, as the only one around who cared, to put it out of its misery. I would, Marina, honestly, it's just…that Leonardo is one intimidating dude.
VIRTUAL UPDATE: An explosive new picture of the Marina/Roxy/Videomania from 1996 has come to light! Check it:
From this, we can see the bank next door was in fact an ANZ, that the Videomania side entrance was once viable, and that VIRTUAL REALITY IS HERE. How else could I have known it was from 1996?
FUTURISTIC UPDATE: I revisited the Marina a year later and made an explosive discovery.

Penguin Books has released new covers of five of George Orwell's works
My personal opinion about the cover of Nineteen Eighty-Four: Beautiful conceptual design with its "redacted" look, but the type isn't visible except when held in your hand, so the effect is completely lost on a bookstore shelf or online.
By Mark Sinclair from CreativeReview:
Brand new covers for five of George Orwell's works feature in a new series published today by Penguin and designed by David Pearson. The set includes a remarkable take on Orwell's most well known novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four…
Animal Farm, Down and Out in Paris and London, Homage to Catalonia, and Politics and the English Language are also republished today in new 'Great Orwell' editions.
Pearson's adept use of type – as demonstrated in his work on Penguin's Great Ideas series of short, influential texts – is once again at the fore of each of the designs. And that includes what is perhaps one of Penguin's most radical covers of recent years, for Nineteen Eighty-Four, where the title and author's name are almost completely obscured by black foiling.…
Pearson says that the design went through numerous iterations "to establish just the right amount of print obliteration. Eventually we settled on printing and debossing, as per the Great Ideas series, with the difference being that the title and author name were then blocked out using matt black foil. This had the effect of partially flattening the debossed letters, leaving just enough of a dent for the title to be determined – though I can't vouch for its success on Amazon."

High volume and listening angles: Many soundbars have a specific spot where they sound great. You might come to adore it but when you move away, the audio quality worsens.
If you normally watch the television with your friends or family, you should definitely consider the volume and the angles by reading the reviews on soundbars. It will help you in understanding just how much the soundbar is versatile when you are not sitting in the center or the front. You can also check out the sound distortion to see if the soundbar is capable of performing better in a large room or not.
Reliable connections: If you want to recognize a soundbar as a good one, you should find if it has a digital connection or not. HDMI, coaxial, and optical inputs minimize the interference compared to the standard audio inputs. These connections also allow the soundbar to create special effects such as the virtual surround sound.
Wireless connection: Good soundbars often support the Bluetooth connectivity as well. It is quite a good aspect if you like listening to music using only your mobile phone. This way, you don't even have to turn your television on. Some soundbars even support Wifi connectivity which allows you to make your soundbar a part of the large speaker system.
Simplicity: When you purchase a soundbar which is easy to use, you don't waste your money at all. Just make sure that you are not being influenced by the tiny remotes which easily break and are hard to use. Usually, when you buy a big soundbar, it alters the signal of your TV remote. There are soundbars with IR repeaters that forward the signal to your television and make sure that there is disruption.
Practical and attractive style: Soundbars are commonly adjusted right in the front of your television. That is why they have to be well-styled and balanced so that they don't stand out too much. Moreover, the buttons must be easy to reach on the soundbar so that you don't have to twist your body just to press them.
There are many soundbars that don't need a subwoofer for producing bass. They are the full package in themselves and can fulfill your thirst of feeling the treble. To simply put it, they don't necessarily require a subwoofer. However, some soundbars come with a subwoofer which dramatically increases the punch. It is an external box which is sometimes wireless as well and you can set it anywhere. A subwoofer costs you extra and that is why you have to consider whether you even need it or not.
If other than listening to the music, you want to watch movies and play games with extra sound quality, you should purchase it. Otherwise, you can simply skip it.
If you want to get an immersive experience then it surely is. There are different audio technologies like Dolby and DTS which enhance the surround sound effects. With the sound centering you, it feels as if you are being pulled in the action as well. From the perspective of realistic, the surround sound is important.

The 'new face of terrorism' is more hype than real for historian Eric Hobsbawm, writes Amit Baruah.

Globalisation, Democracy and Terrorism
Rs 695, pp 184
It's not a popular argument in the post-9/11 world. Big picture historian Eric Hobsbawm believes that the 9/11 carnage in New York was horrifying. But he also believes that it left the international power of the US and its internal power structures completely unaffected.
In this new collection of essays, Hobsbawm, who has lived through much of the 20th century, argues that the actual danger of the new international terrorist networks to the regimes of stable States — not only in the developed world, but also in Asia — remains negligible.
According to him, fear was the product of government and media uniting to give terrorists maximum publicity. Previously, governments tried hard to deny groups like the ETA, the Red Brigades and the IRA the "oxygen of publicity". But all that changed after September 2001.<b1>
"None of this diminishes the scale of the genuine global crisis of which the transformations of political violence are expressions. They seem to reflect the profound social dislocations brought about at all levels of society by the most rapid and dramatic transformation in human life and society ever witnessed in single lifetimes," he writes.
The global crises had been exacerbated by the failures of decolonisation in parts of the world and the end of a stable, or indeed any, international system since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Hobsbawm points out that the membership of the United Nations has risen by 33 — or over 20 per cent — since 1988.
Instability is a feature of the modern world and Russia, the successor to part of the Soviet Union, came perilously close to becoming a failed State. He also claims that men and women may be prepared to die — and more likely to kill — for money or for something smaller or larger.
But in the cradle of the nation-State, they will no longer die and kill for the nation-State. The rise of the thekedari system, as amply reflected by the private security force, Blackwaters, operating in Iraq, or the Gurkhas standing guard on the streets of Kabul, bear out the argument being advanced here by Hobsbawm.
He argues that "brief periods" of 'empire' may rest essentially on military power. But this alone cannot guarantee durable foreign rule. "Let us remember that the number of British civilians engaged in governing the four hundred million people of the Indian empire was never more than ten thousand."
If empire has to last, then it has to rely on cooperation with local interests and the legitimacy of effective power while pursuing, as we in India know, the rather simple policy of divide and rule. "The present situation in Iraq illustrates the difficulties even the most powerful occupier will face when these are absent," he notes.
The one-time jazz critic for the New Statesman believes that today, the full-armed power of governments has proved incapable of maintaining armed control of their territory for decades — in Sri Lanka, in Kashmir, in Colombia, in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank or, for that matter, in parts of Belfast.
Among the many nuggets of information that point to the dramatic transformations in the world is that we have ceased to be a rural species. In 1900, 16 per cent of the world's population lived in towns. The figure rose to just under 26 per cent in 1950. Today, it was just under half (48 per cent). "Today, only ten of the world's largest fifty cities and only two of the eighteen world cities whose population stands at ten million are in Europe and North America. The fastest growing cities over one million are, with a single exception (Porto in Portugal), in Asia (20), Africa (six) and Latin America (five)."
The book is studded with such insights. Hobsbawm writes simply and is equally accessible to the student and the practitioner of history, as well as to the lay reader. A book worth having and looking at again and again.

I won't pretend I'm not excited because quite frankly I am. I love a bowl of Soup with a Crusty Roll… and you can't beat homemade!
This one is just a few indredients and really yummy… if you aren't a fan of spice… leave out the Chilli Powder and use extra Paprika.
First pop the Pumpkin into an oven tray and coat with the Herbs and Spices, Salt and Pepper and a little oil or oil spray. Then into the oven on 180 for around 30 minutes.
Sweat the Onions in a large heavy based pan, on a low heat, with a large pinch of salt for around 10-15 minutes until soft. I usually leave the lid on and just give it a stir occasionally.
Add the Cauliflower and the Stock and then simmer for around 15 minutes.
Add the roasted Pumpkin and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Then blend! I used my NutriBullet which is quite frankly a pain in the arse when it comes to blending Soup… if you have a stick blender then you are winning at life and I really need to invest in a new one! I added some Honey and more Salt and Pepper to taste whilst blending just to help that flavour along.
See what I mean about ALOT! I usually freeze my Soup into portions in these nifty little containers from the pound shop and make sure I jot down what's inside and the date I made it on top!
I always serve it with a little drizzle of Yoghurt just to give it that 'creamy' effect and it's nice when you have a slightly spicy soup.

Multitasking? Not a challenge for Romy Scharmberg. For almost 20 years now she has been at the side of our management team helping them to do their job. Organisation is second nature to her and she is the first person to contact when things need to be coordinated. Find out more about what she does every day in the following interview.
I spend a lot of time in front of my computer and on the telephone. Organisation and communication are right at the top of my responsibilities. Interdepartmental meetings and the like need to be scheduled and coordinated. I also plan and organise my boss's schedule day-by-day, week-by-week, so that he always have what he needs on hand: an up-to-date meetings calendar, flights, rental cars, hotel rooms. That might not sound like all that much, but it is sometimes incredible just how many things he's got on his schedule. I'm also often the first point of contact when someone needs to set up a meeting with the CEO.
I have a lot of contact with colleagues in every department and other GLS companies. It's fun to plan and coordinate with them. I often have to coordinate with the CEO and COO of the GLS Group, too. And once everything's worked well and a good result has been achieved, then I'm especially happy.
For this job, you need to be flexible and good at communication and also have a certain talent for pragmatism in order to tackle some of the challenges that will come your way.
GLS gives me the freedom to organise my work flexibly. For my boss, it's important that the results of my work are good. That's what I especially appreciate about GLS.
