My most memorable moment was walking through the slot canyon that leads to and opens up to the Treasury in Petra.
Potential travelers should not be afraid to visit Jordan. It is a very safe country, with good accommodations, food, and infrastructure.
The trip benefited local people financially. We visited and supported local sites of conservation interest.
It was a wonderful experience that will rank as one of the best vacations of my life.
The scenery is amazing In Jordan, incredible gorges, rock formations as well as good variety. In terms of ancient cultures - Jerash and Petra stand out. The people are very friendly and its very safe.
Cycling was pretty easy as long as you can do 30 kms comfortably you should be fine. Women take a gel seat cover or your own saddle.
Stayed in local hotels and ate local restaurants. However, having a large coach for just 18 of us and using gallons of bottled water (when the tap water was fine) was not very eco friendly.
4/5 Was disappointed with the cycling as didnt do as much as I expected spending too long in the coach and being made to go in gift shops! Dead sea was a non event - 1 hour would have been plenty, could have done some nice cycling around the dead sea that day instead. Group was great and guides all fantastic.

Q: How to create a "configure" file? Recently I downloaded a file using the following link
git clone git://github.com/mapserver/mapcache.git

Inside the downloaded mapcache folder I can not find a configure file to do "./configure". But the installation help file tell:

Unix compilation instructions
If you are using a git clone rather than a tarball distribution, you
  must first run autoconf in the root directory, to create the configure
  file from configure.in:
$ autoconf
For unix users, the compilation process should resume to:
$ ./configure
$ make
(as root)
make install-module
The installation script takes care of putting the built module in the
  apache module directory.

To do ./configure there should be a configure file isn't it? Please show me how to make one to get rid of this problem.

A: maintainer speaking ...
mapcache and mapserver are switching to cmake for the next release and the docs for the master branch need updating. You can either use the branch-1-0 branch to continue using autoconf builds, or use cmake with master:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ sudo make install

A: The help file tells you exactly what you need to do

If you are using a git clone rather than a tarball distribution, you must first run autoconf in the root directory, to create the configure file from configure.in

If you don't already have autoconf installed you'll need to install it in the normal way for your distribution.

A: The repository seems out of sync with the documentation

*

*there is no configure.in as mentioned in the INSTALL file (nowhere not only in the root directory)

*there is just a Makefile.vc file for MSVC++

You should contact the maintainer

"To say that obesity is caused by merely consuming too many calories is like saying that the only cause of the American Revolution was the Boston Tea Party." A quote from Adelle Davis, one who believes obesity is caused by much more than we think. Obesity can be simply defined as the state of being well above one's normal weight. Obesity is considered to be a chronic disease, similar to diabetes or high-blood pressure. Often, many people have the set idea that obesity and overeating simply occur from someone just doing it, and do not take into effect all the other forces that lead someone to an eating disorder. Several things such as psychological state of mind, one's biology, or even their cultural background all play a role in someone's road to obesity or eating disorder. Once you are able to determine the underlying effects that a person has to go along with the natural desire of hungry, that is how you produce an overweight individual.

Lebu River an important river of the Arauco Province.  It has his sources in the western slope of the Nahuelbuta Range to the east of the city and port of Lebu, capital of the province and named for the river.

The Lebu is formed from the confluence of the Riachuelos of Curanilahue and Pilpilco that meet at the base of that mountain range.  From the confluence  it continues to the west, widening with the flow of the Riachuelos of Quilañanco and Curihuillín, and with several streams that join it from the wooded heights on both of its banks.  It  goes on to empty into the Pacific Ocean at 37° 36' Lat. and 73° 41 ' Lon. after a course of about 100 kilometers until it is below the ford of Cupaño, at the salto de Gualgalén, where this strong torrent of the river that is about 20 kilometers from its mouth meets the upper reach of the tidal estuary.

At the river mouth the coast forms a port or anchorage between the Morro de Tucapel to the south, and the Punta de Millonhue to the north.  Between them extends the bar of the mouth, that only opens the way by a narrow channel.  Above the mouth the river estuary in front of the city is narrow and further up the river is wide and deep. In the upper part of this estuary,  is the location of the old fort of Santa Margarita de Austria.

The name of the river is an alteration of the Mapudungun leufü or leuvu, "river"; and in colonial times a valley of a river, that contained habitations of Indians was called a levo.

As result of the 2010 Chile earthquake a large islet emerged at the mouth of the river. This area was the part of the coast that experience the highest permanent uplift resulting from the earthquake.

Appellate Team Obtains Victory On Appeal From an Excessive Damages Verdict
SACS Litigation/Appellate Strategy & Advocacy Group obtained a victory in the Appellate Division, First Department on an appeal from an excessive damages verdict in a Labor Law § 240(1) case. The jury awarded plaintiff $1,081,600 in lost earnings and the trial court denied defendant's post-trial motion to set aside that award as excessive, finding that the jury properly based the award on plaintiff's testimony and tax returns. On appeal, defendant maintained that the jury's award for lost earnings was untethered to plaintiff's tax returns, which reflected far lower earnings. Plaintiff cross appealed seeking an additur for future pharmacology on the ground that the jury awarded plaintiff no damages for this item despite unrefuted testimony from his expert physicians.
The First Department set aside plaintiff's award for lost earnings and remanded the matter for a new trial unless plaintiff stipulated to accept a reduction from $1,081,600 to $554,200 ($102,000 past and $452,200 future) – roughly a 50% reduction. Specifically, the Court agreed with our contentions that plaintiff's testimony as to his earnings was contradicted by his tax returns and he did not establish lost wages "with reasonable certainty." While plaintiff was paid a daily wage, the Court found, there was no clear testimony or other evidence as to how many days he worked per week or per year. The Court thus calculated his lost earnings based on the mean of his gross income on his tax returns prior to the accident. Since plaintiff's gross income reflected on his 2011 and 2012 tax returns established his lost earnings with reasonable certainty, the award should be reduced to $17,000 multiplied by 6 and 26.6 years, which equals $102,000 and $452,200 for past and future lost earnings, respectively. The Court also agreed declined to award plaintiff any award for future pharmacology expenses.
The successful motion and appeal was briefed by Chris Simone and Chris Theobalt, and argued before the First Department by Chris Theobalt.

Bipolar disorder is a chronic mental disorder related to cognitive deficits. Low serum vitamin D levels are significantly associated with compromised cognition in neuropsychiatric disorders. Although patients with bipolar disorder frequently exhibit hypovitaminosis D, the association between vitamin D and cognition in bipolar disorder, and their neuroaxonal integrity, is unclear.
To investigate the interaction effects between vitamin D and neurofilament light chain (NfL) levels on cognitive domains in bipolar disorder.
Serum vitamin D and NfL levels were determined in 100 euthymic patients with bipolar disorder in a cross-sectional study. Cognitive function was measured with the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Affective Disorders. We stratified by age groups and used general linear models to identify associations between vitamin D and NfL levels and their interaction effects on cognitive domains.
The mean vitamin D and NfL levels were 16.46 ng/nL and 11.10 pg/mL, respectively; 72% of patients were vitamin D deficient. In the older group, more frequent hospital admissions and lower physical activity were identified in the group with versus without vitamin D deficiency. The age-modified interaction effect of vitamin D and NfL was associated with composite neurocognitive scores and verbal fluency in both age groups, and with processing speed domain in the younger group.
We observed a high vitamin D deficiency prevalence in bipolar disorder. We identified the interaction of vitamin D and NfL on cognitive domains, and the effect was modified by age. Longitudinal or randomised controlled studies enrolling patients with various illness durations and mood statuses are required to validate our findings.
Healthcare utilization, psychiatric disorders, and physical illnesses shortly before suicide mortality in adolescents in Taiwan

This study examined the pattern of medical utilization and the distribution of comorbidities shortly before death among adolescents who died from suicide and compared these data with those of living controls.
From Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database, this study identified adolescents aged 10–19 years who died from suicide (n = 935) between 1 January 2000, and 31 December 2016, by linking each patient with the national mortality database. The researchers conducted a nested case–control study through risk set sampling, and for each case, 20 age- and sex-matched controls (n = 18 700) were selected from the general population. The researchers applied conditional logistic regression to investigate differences in medical utilization and physical and psychiatric comorbidities between cases and controls.
Cases had a higher proportion of contact with the psychiatric department but a similar proportion of contact with any non-psychiatric medical department within 1 year before suicide compared with controls. There were 18.6% of adolescent suicide victims who only had contacted with a psychiatric department 3 months before suicide. Moreover, cases had a higher proportion of contact with non-psychiatric services within 3 months before suicide, particularly with emergency, surgery, and internal medicine departments. Cases had higher risks of several psychiatric disorders and physical illnesses, including heart diseases, pneumonia, and ulcer disease, than did controls.
The findings of increased medical utilization and higher risks of physical and psychiatric comorbidities in adolescent suicide victims are crucial for developing specific interventions to prevent suicide in this population.
Sex-specific risk profiles for suicide mortality in bipolar disorder: incidence, healthcare utilization and comorbidity

Evidence on sex-specific incidence and comorbidity risk factors of suicide among patients with bipolar disorder is scarce. This study investigated the sex-specific risk profiles for suicide among the bipolar disorder population in terms of incidence, healthcare utilization and comorbidity.
Using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2016, this nationwide cohort study included patients with bipolar disorder (N = 46 490) and individuals representative of the general population (N = 185 960) matched by age and sex at a 1:4 ratio. Mortality rate ratios (MRRs) of suicide were calculated between suicide rates of bipolar disorder cohort and general population. In addition, a nested case–control study (1428 cases died by suicide and 5710 living controls) was conducted in the bipolar disorder cohort to examine the sex-specific risk of healthcare utilization and comorbidities.
Suicide risk was considerably higher in the cohort (MRR = 21.9) than in the general population, especially among women (MRR = 35.6). Sex-stratified analyses revealed distinct healthcare utilization patterns and physical comorbidity risk profiles between the sexes. Although female patients who died by suicide had higher risks of nonhypertensive cardiovascular disease, pneumonia, chronic kidney disease, peptic ulcer, irritable bowel syndrome, and sepsis compared to their living counterparts, male patients who died by suicide had higher risks of chronic kidney disease and sepsis compared to the living controls.
Patients with bipolar disorder who died by suicide had sex-specific risk profiles in incidence and physical comorbidities. Identifying these modifiable risk factors may guide interventions for suicide risk reduction.

Research on the risk of stroke following the use of mood stabilisers specific to patients with bipolar disorder is limited.
In this study, we investigated the risk of stroke following the exposure to mood stabilisers in patients with bipolar disorder.
Data for this nationwide population-based study were derived from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. Among a retrospective cohort of patients with bipolar disorder (n = 19 433), 609 new-onset cases of stroke were identified from 1999 to 2012. A case–crossover study design utilising 14-day windows was applied to assess the acute exposure effect of individual mood stabilisers on the risk of ischaemic, haemorrhagic and other types of stroke in patients with bipolar disorder.
Mood stabilisers as a group were significantly associated with the increased risk of stroke in patients with bipolar disorder (adjusted risk ratio, 1.26; P = 0.041). Among individual mood stabilisers, acute exposure to carbamazepine had the highest risk of stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.68; P = 0.018), particularly the ischaemic type (adjusted risk ratio, 1.81; P = 0.037). In addition, acute exposure to valproic acid elevated the risk of haemorrhagic stroke (adjusted risk ratio, 1.76; P = 0.022). In contrast, acute exposure to lithium and lamotrigine did not significantly increase the risk of any type of stroke.
Use of carbamazepine and valproic acid, but not lithium and lamotrigine, is associated with increased risk of stroke in patients with bipolar disorder.

Cancer is a serious public health problem worldwide, and its relationship with affective disorders is not clear.
To investigate alcohol- and tobacco-related cancer risk among patients with affective disorders in a large Taiwanese cohort.
Records of newly admitted patients with affective disorders from January 1997 through December 2002 were retrieved from the Psychiatric Inpatient Medical Claims database in Taiwan. Cancers were stratified by site and grouped into tobacco- or alcohol-related cancers. Standardised incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated to compare the risk of cancer between those with affective disorders and the general population.
Some 10 207 patients with bipolar disorder and 9826 with major depression were included. The risk of cancer was higher in patients with major depression (SIR = 2.01, 95% CI 1.85–2.19) than in those with bipolar disorder (SIR 1.39, 95% CI 1.26–1.53). The elevated cancer risk among individuals ever admitted to hospital for affective disorders was more pronounced in tobacco- and/or alcohol-related cancers.
Elevated cancer risk was found in patients who had received in-patient care for affective disorders. They require holistic approaches to lifestyle behaviours and associated cancer risks.
Non-fatal repetition of self-harm in Taipei City, Taiwan: cohort study
Chi-Leung Kwok, Paul S. F. Yip, David Gunnell, Chian-Jue Kuo, Ying-Yeh Chen
Repeat self-harm is an important risk factor for suicide. Few studies have explored risk factors for non-fatal repeat self-harm in Asia.
To investigate the risk of non-fatal repeat self-harm in a large cohort of patients presenting to hospital in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Prospective cohort study of 7601 patients with self-harm presenting to emergency departments (January 2004–December 2006). Survival analysis was used to examine the rates, timing and factors associated with repeat self-harm.
In total 778 (10.2%) patients presented to hospital with one or more further episodes of self-harm. The cumulative risk of non-fatal repetition within 1 year of a self-harm episode was 9.3% (95% CI 8.7–10.1). The median time to repetition within 1 year was 105 days. Females had a higher incidence of repeat self-harm than males (adjusted hazard ratio 1.25, 95% CI 1.05–1.48) but males had shorter median time to repetition (107 v. 80 days). Other independent risk factors for repeat self-harm within 1 year of an index episode were: young age, self-harm by medicine overdose and increasing number of repeat episodes of self-harm.
The risk of non-fatal repeat self-harm in Taipei City is lower than that seen in the West. Risk factors for repeat non-fatal self-harm differ from those for fatal self-harm. The first 3 months after self-harm is a crucial period for intervention.
Suicide and non-suicide mortality after self-harm in Taipei City, Taiwan
Chian-Jue Kuo, David Gunnell, Chiao-Chicy Chen, Paul S. F. Yip, Ying-Yeh Chen
Most previous studies of long-term mortality risk following self-harm have been conducted in Western countries with few studies from Asia.
To investigate suicide and non-suicide mortality after non-fatal self-harm in Taipei City, Taiwan.
Prospective cohort study (median follow-up 3.3 years) of 7601 individuals presenting to hospital with self-harm (January 2004 to December 2006). Standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) for suicide and non-suicide mortality were calculated.
Suicide risk in the year following self-harm was over 100 times higher than in the general population (SMR = 119.6, 95% CI 99.6–142.5). Males and middle-aged and older adults had the highest subsequent risk of suicide. Compared with people who took an overdose, individuals who used hanging or charcoal burning in their index episode had the highest risk of suicide. For non-suicide mortality the SMRs were 6.7 (95% CI 5.7–7.8) in the first year and 4.4 (95% CI 3.9–4.9) during the whole follow-up period.
Patterns of increased all-cause and suicide mortality following an episode of self-harm are similar in Taipei City to those seen in Western countries. Designing better aftercare following non-fatal self-harm, particularly for those with underlying physical disorders or who have used lethal self-harm methods, should be a priority for suicide prevention programmes in Asia.


Girls of Action & Leadership (GOAL)is a transformational program, teaching life skills with interactive lessons and running games. Developed and taught by Soroptimist International of Kawartha Lakes members, with help from teachers and volunteers from King Albert and Queen Victoria Public Schools in Lindsay, 2016 saw 47 girls in grades 4 to 6 participate in the program.

The Sports Hall of Fame Committee would like to extend an invitation to all those interested, to join us, November 10th, at the Scugog Community Recreation Centre, at 6:30 p.m., as we celebrate, congratulate and "welcome home" our 2016 Inductees.
With our trip to Vimy drawing closer, Uxbridge Secondary students are getting more and more excited with each passing day. We were reminded of the First World War and its impact on Uxbridge, during our walking tour through the town, on October 6th. It's easy to forget that the same streets we walk daily were once marched upon by Lieutenant Colonel Sam Sharpe and the 116th Battalion.
Former curator Allan McGilvery and the current staff at the Uxbridge Historical Centre, a museum, started our tour with an engaging presentation about life in Uxbridge during the wartime era. There was an excellent selection of artifacts available for students to examine after the presentation, including Sam Sharpe's ceremonial sword! After our visit at the museum we headed towards downtown Uxbridge, as we learned about the values reflected in the life of Sam Sharpe and many others who belonged to the 116th Battalion.
We made our way down to the law offices of Bailey and Sedore.
Mr.Sedore showed students records that date back to the early 1900s, when Sam Sharpe ran the practice.
After our visit, we finished the tour at Trinity United Church. The impressive church was where Sam Sharpe and many other military men came for Sunday service. The walls have small memorial plaques to the men who belonged to the church, and left to fight in Europe during the First World War.
Overall the tour was a great way to learn more about the history of our small town, and it helped remind us of the price that was paid for the rights and freedoms we enjoy today.
Special thanks to all those who helped make the tour a success, including Bredin's Bakery and The Meat Merchant for donating our delicious lunch!
We would also like to invite the community to our upcoming speaker series.
Our Vimy 100 Speaker Series begins with a presentation by, British historian, Andy Robertshaw.
Andy is an author and historian who makes the past come alive for audiences of all ages. He was the lead historical consultant for Spielberg's film adaptation of War Horse. He is a regular consultant and onscreen expert for a host of TV and radio shows, and he has spearheaded numerous archeological investigations along the western front. He is an honorary lecturer at University College, London and regularly consults the British army on historical matters.
In partnership with The Great War Association (Ontario Chapter), please join us, at Uxbridge Secondary School in the library, at 7 p.m., on Monday October 24th, as we welcome Andy Robertshaw.
The Vimy 100 Speaker Series will continue, on Wednesday November 16th, as we welcome local author and historian Ted Barris, who will share stories and remembrances about the defining battle of Vimy Ridge, as we lead up to the 100th Anniversary commemorations in April.
Third in the Series, we welcome historian Rod Henderson. Rod is the author of the spectacular new book, Fideles et Paratus: A History of the Ontario Regiment, written as part of the 150th Anniversary Celebration of the Ontario Regiment.
Thank you for supporting our USS Vimy 100th Anniversary students, and upcoming events. Lest we forget.

UXBRIDGE: Recently, I had the privilege of attending the making of the world's biggest butter tart. The event was the brainchild of Chef Marco Cassano, executive chef and owner of Annina's Bakeshop, located in Goodwood, Ontario.
The purpose of the event was to raise funds for the Children's Wish Foundation. The foundation's mission is to provide children, with life threatening illnesses, the opportunity to realize their most heartfelt wish. To learn more about this organization you can visit their website, at www.childrenswish.ca.
Chef Cassano is a big supporter of this charity, having hosted several fundraising events in their honour. Often, the past events where held in the winter, so in an effort to embrace warmer weather he decided to hold this event in September.
Frequently, children who apply to the Children's Wish Foundation have dreams that seem impossible, but with the help of many volunteers and some innovative brainstorming, success can be achieved. Chef Cassano's butter tart benefited from the same resourcefulness.
A huge outdoor oven needed to be designed and constructed, on the spot, to bake the tart in. A local company stepped up to the challenge. A vast amount of ingredients needed to be assembled and kept at the right temperature. Olympic Wholesale donated a refrigerated truck, as well as organized donations of ingredients, from their various suppliers.
Volunteers where needed to prepare and assemble the butter tart. Several students and staff from Durham College joined the volunteer crew. The Standard's own, Tamara Green, who is also attending Durham College's Culinary Art's program, jumped at the opportunity to be involved. She and others, dressed in protective full body suits, climbed into the tart pan, inside the oven, and rolled out the crust.
Last but not least, customers where needed to purchase the final product, the proceeds of which would go to the Children's Wish Foundation.
Many others where on hand to volunteer, provide moral support, to watch history in the baking, and of course to eat butter tarts!
The whole event was documented for the Guiness Book of World Records. It is uncertain how long it will take to hear back from the organization, as to whether or not Annina's butter tart made it onto the world record list.
But no matter what their decision is, the final result was a really 'sweet' way to raise funds for a worthy cause.
Congratulations Chef Cassano and Annina's Bake shop for hosting such a delicious event and raising over $3,000 for the Children's Wish Foundation!

This is an interesting tale from today.
A bloke gets stopped by the police for having a rear light out on his car.
The same bloke gets shot in the back about six times by the police as he tries to run away.
The policeman says that he feared for his life as the bad man had taken his taser gun off him.
This is shown to be untrue as a man with a camera, standing nearby, has captured the event on video...the cop is shown to drop his taser gun near the dead man's body.
The corpse is then handcuffed.

'Police in lie shocker'. Sidney and a couple of others will along soon telling us the police in this country would never do anything like this. Like the others, including myself, who like to slate the police at any opportunity.

Isn't the cop charged with murder now?
He has been sacked.
He has been charged with murder, no bail.
He may face the death penalty.

completely different reaction in Charleston to (say) Ferguson. Partly this may be due to wanting to avoid civil unrest, so making the right reactions in a timely manner.
Thankfully a bystander videod it, or it could have been another Ferguson example instead of a cop that panicked and then seemingly has realized the consequences and tried to cover it up.
Police body cameras ordered throughout now. Arguments for and against, but in the current climate I fall on the side of ignore privacy concerns to create greater evidence/transparency
I know someone on the Colorado Grand Jury, and they're crapping themselves a Ferguson type event happens there.
Rileybobs
Your value of human life must be almost zero to pull out a gun and unload 5 rounds into the back of an innocent person. Panic doesn't come into this until the attempted cover up. Thankfully it was recorded.
FCBurnley
Amazing video on CBS news last night. Clearly shows Officer running back from body to pick up his tazer and then drop it next to his victim whilst saying on his radio `he grabbed my tazer`
Surely the key to all this is what would be happening today if there was no video ?
Boliclaret
Or even more worryingly what was happening 'before' video
Imploding Turtle
There is no excuse for police not to wear body cameras. They don't have a right to privacy while on duty and the cameras can be switched off during times when they're off-duty but still in uniform, so the privacy argument is bull****.
Yet that's the argument you hear from commentators on Fox News and the political right while the same people will play down privacy concerns from the public when it comes to government surveillance of it's citizens. And then the next day they'll be saying how the government can't be trusted to handle anything whatsoever. It's like an entire political wing in the U.S. is schizophrenic.


I am not one of THOSE people - you know the neighbor who drops off an apple pie when there is a new person in the neighborhood. Well in fact I don't know the names of most of the people on this very short road... A funny little story (well not haha funny) THIS house has just looked empty to me for the past few days and I feared that the owner had died... He was an old man I have known all my life and I *ALWAYS* thought his name was Mr. Aruda and I thought this because I was allowed to bike down to Mr. Aruda's house and his house was where I had to turn around. My Mom and his wife were friends... She died YEARS ago (like 15 or 20 years ago), she was old then, he was old then! Well fast forward to today when I found out two things 1. his name was Mr. Jordan - Mr. Aruda lived in the red house across the street. and 2. He passed away - he was a lovely old man who always had bowls of water for the dogs when we were out walking the dogs so that they weren't thirsty. He always had a kind word for everyone and was just an overall nice guy. I hope Mr. Jordan is happily reunited with his wonderful wife.

Wackenroder è da considerarsi insieme a Ludwig Tieck l'iniziatore del romanticismo tedesco.
Il dualismo tra ideale e reale, tra forma e contenuto, è vissuto in modo drammatico da Wilhelm Heinrich Wackenroder.
Dotato di una finissima sensibilità artistica, Wackenroder fu sempre e pienamente consapevole dei limiti della propria capacità espressiva. Da questo senso del proprio limite nasce la sua concezione estetica, la prima che nell'ambito del romanticismo tedesco possa essere definita pienamente romantica da ogni punto di vista.

La sua opera, fondata sul misterioso e sull'irrazionale, che risolvono il problema estetico nel sentimento, rispecchia, infatti, compiutamente i contenuti e le categorie della prima generazione dei romantici tedeschi.

Wackenroder ammira la genialità artistica, la cui grandezza considera mistero.
In questo può essere bene identificato in alcune figure proposte nella sua opera principale Herzensergießungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders, Berlino 1796 (tradotto come Gli sfoghi del cuore di un monaco amante dell'arte). Lo scolaro Antonio, che ammira, senza riuscire a definirla razionalmente, la grandezza di Raffaello Sanzio. Oppure il musicista Joseph Berglinger, la cui profonda sensibilità rimane frustrata dalla propria tecnica espressiva.
L'incomprensibilità del genio diventa per Wackenroder un irrazionalismo sentimentale, lontano dall'impetuosa passionalità dello Sturm und Drang. Al caotico e travolgente dinamismo interiore degli Stürmer sostituisce un movimento "leggero, quasi giocoso", anticipazione di quel senso del vago e dell'infinito che sarà uno dei motivi dominanti del Romanticismo.
Le Herzensergießungen eines kunstliebenden Klosterbruders sono una raccolta di nove saggi il primo dei quali, Raphaels Erscheinung ("La visione di Raffaello"), si inizia in polemica contro coloro che vorrebbero spiegare l'arte secondo regole e canoni prestabiliti, negando così il "mistero" dell'ispirazione artistica, nella quale non volgono vedere "i chiari segni... dell'impronta del dito di Dio".

Raffaello è un esempio di come l'artista stesso non sappia spiegarsi l'"innato stimolo" che lo tiene "in continua ed attiva tensione". L'arte è prerogativa di "pochi spiriti eletti" e vive dell'ispirazione divina di un momento. L'individualità geniale e la determinazione trascendente escludono ogni possibilità di essere imparata o insegnata (e naturalmente alla maturazione di questo concetto molto contribuì l'esperienza personale di Wackenroder).
"L'arte non si impara e non può essere insegnata, ma... la sua vena, se è condotta e indirizzata per uno stretto sentiero, indomita sprizza fuori dall'anima dell'artista".
L'immediatezza dell'espressione artistica ripropone la questione del rapporto tra forma e contenuto, che viene risolta da Wackenroder in senso tipicamente romantico. L'ispirazione divina permette infatti al grande artista di superare l'antitesi (che rimane invece drammaticamente irrisolta nell'uomo comune), raggiungendo un'immediata e completa aderenza dell'espressione all'ispirazione.
Vediamo questo concetto espresso nelle parole di Raffaello nelle Herzensergießungen: "durante il lavoro io ho pensato assai più al soggetto che al modo in cui volevo rappresentarlo". L'unica regola, o meglio aspirazione, per l'artista è la genuina originalità, cioè la reale sincerità dell'ispirazione. Sembrerebbe di trovarsi di fronte alla completa rottura con il classicismo di cui in realtà Wackenroder, che aveva studiato approfonditamente Winckelmann, conferma, soprattutto in un primo momento, il concetto di arte imitativa. L'artista è una sorta di demiurgo platonico che forgia le sue opere imitando l'idea innata che nel suo caso à l'ispirazione divina. Rimane, però, il carattere essenzialmente romantico di un'estetica sentimentale, che rifiuta decisamente ogni canone e spiegazione per dare spazio all'irrazionalismo e al mistero. Ideale proprio in quanto non spiegabile.

Non manca nella figura di Joseph Berglinger una critica alla Germania del suo tempo, la cui realtà sociale è presentata come un limite all'ideale dell'artista: "ma il peggio sono le relazioni in cui l'artista si trova impigliato. Fra tutte la ributtante invidia e la malignità, le piccole ed odiose costumanze, e gli incontri, e la subordinazione dell'arte alla volontà della corte...". Si consuma così nelle pagine del racconto Das merkwürdige musikalische Leben des Tonkünstlers Joseph Berglinger il dramma tra ideale e reale della vicenda interiore dell'artista anche in riferimento alla dimensione storica. È questa un'altra tematica tipica del romanticismo tedesco che Wackenroder non manca di cogliere.

L'avvicinamento di Wackenroder alla mistica orientale e l'identificazione della vita con il sogno non sono fumose e astratte costruzioni romantiche, ma piuttosto conseguenze logiche nello sviluppo della sua teoria estetica. L'oriente, "patria di tutte le meraviglie" è il luogo ideale per la concezione artistica di Wackenroder. I grandi santoni, i "meravigliosi ricettacoli di un genio superiore", costituiscono la compiuta realizzazione di un'estetica mistico-sentimentale. Veri e propri artisti dello spirito, liberati dell'"involucro terrestre", si realizzano in una visione cosmica, immagine dell'assoluto romantico "... il genio si perse nel firmamento infinito".

Nei suoi saggi Wackenroder parla soprattutto della pittura e della musica mentre cita raramente la poesia, che peraltro considera capace di creare liberamente, senza nemmeno imitare la natura. La sua sensibilità lo porta a prediligere le espressioni artistiche meno definite, capaci di provocare sensazioni e sentimenti che siano il più possibile immediati. Non di rado, parlandoci di un'opera d'arte, la descrive non nei suoi caratteri esteriori, ma come sentimento da lui provato davanti all'opera stessa. La musica tutto sfugge al materiale e al definito, nella completa aderenza della forma al contenuto, colto da Wackenroder come sentimento. Nella musica il fenomeno coincide con il noumeno, la vita con il "bel sogno". Proprio in questo senso la musica può assumere valore universale "al di sopra del nostro capo", divenendo "ironia" e cioè superamento del reale, guardato nell'ideale con obiettiva serenità e superiorità morale. Ecco, dunque, Wackenroder proporre un altro motivo fondamentale e specificatamente caratterizzante il romanticismo tedesco: quell'ironia che consente all'artista romantico di distaccarsi dal proprio lavoro, nel senso in cui sopra si è detto, per poterlo giudicare criticamente. La stessa ironia che salva la Sehnsucht (nostalgia) romantica dal precipizio del sentimentalismo, salvaguardandone contenuti e orizzonti.

Nella tavolozza romantica di Wackenroder non poteva mancare la "malinconia". Raffaello, quando rimaneva irrealizzata la sua tensione all'ideale, "diventava tutto malinconico". Ma quando nella produzione artistica si raggiunge l'ideale, allora la malinconia è superata.

Sogno, esotismo, malinconia non hanno in Wackenroder la funzione di distacco e isolamento dalla realtà. Sono piuttosto il rifiuto di una prospettiva storica limitata e limitante. L'organicità e la continuità della storia portano Wackenroder alla comprensione critica, anche se spesso esclusivamente estetica, del suo tempo. Al suo spirito "non mancano le ali per volare intorno a tutta la circonferenza terrestre". Anche la storia è considerata sempre in chiave estetica. Così la rivalutazione del Medioevo, motivo romantico di riscoperta e di presa di coscienza del Geist del popolo, diventa per Wackenroder ammirazione per Dürer, Hans Sachs, Pirkeim, Kraft.
In particolare lo affascina la figura di Dürer, "semplice, serio, diritto e forte nell'anima tedesca" (dal saggio Phantasien über die Kunst), pur se antitetico, o forse proprio perché antitetico, all'altro suo grande pittore ideale: Raffaello Sanzio.

Tale dualismo di gusto estetico non deve stupire. È, anzi, per molti versi caratteristico della nuova sensibilità romantica, che al "bello" accosta il "brutto" e il "sublime". L'abilità geniale, infatti, consiste proprio nel "saper trarre oro da tutte le cose, anche dalle meno stimate e dalle più piccole". Questo stesso carattere estetico si ritrova nella concezione religiosa di Wackenroder. È sempre in bilico tra credo protestante e credo cattolico, che gli si presentano come contrapposizione dualistica di tradizioni culturali ed estetiche. Eppure arte e religione, considerate in tutto il romanticismo tedesco e in particolare nell'idealismo hegeliano come momenti antitetici (soggettivo uno, oggettivo l'altro) di contatto con l'assoluto, trovano invece nell'estetica di Wackenroder un'organica compenetrazione. L'ispirazione divina che è alla base della grandezza artistica è un fattore che supera il limite spazio-temporale per fondersi piuttosto con il "carattere" dell'artista. Il bello, il sublime, il brutto sono, quindi, alla portata dello "spirito eletto" in ogni manifestazione della realtà. Wackenroder anche in questo caso sottolinea ancora una volta i propri limiti artistici: "il rumore del vento tra le cime della foresta e il rombo del tuono mi hanno raccontato misteriose cose di Lui che non so ridire con parole".

Se, dunque, il prodotto artistico è privilegio di pochi geni, ogni uomo sente però la grandezza misteriosa dell'arte e questo stesso sentimento è, con la natura, il messaggio di Dio all'umanità: "l'arte esercita una meravigliosa potenza sul cuore dell'uomo, per vie oscure e misteriose".

Expanding Bullets: How They Really Work
News, Reviews, Ammunition, Rifle Ammunition
Back when I was a college student who spent as much time hunting and fishing as attending class at the University of Montana, one of my hunting mentors told me not to use my .270 Win. "The .270 is too fast for timber huntin'. The bullets zip right through before they can open up!" I knew there was something screwy about this theory, but I didn't dare argue with it.
Today, of course, sophisticated hunters know that some bullets open up faster than others, the reason some bullets are more effective on prairie dogs and others more effective on elk. These hunters are just as wrong as my old elk-hunting buddy. The truth is that almost all hunting bullets expand completely by the time they penetrate their own length. This has been proven by high-speed photography and by ballistic media that retain the shape of the hole created by the bullet's impact. The biggest hole made by a typical hunting bullet is immediately after it enters, not several inches beyond. Some hunters might argue that various ballistic media aren't "reality." C'mon, guys. Most meat damage on a deer occurs around the entrance hole, not on the far side of the animal.
It's true that some bullets expand less violently than others. This can create the impression that they're opening more slowly, but the difference lies in how much the bullet fragments upon expanding. The clearest example of this is the "varmint" bullet that disintegrates in order to kill small pests instantaneously. At the other extreme is a heavy-duty, big-game bullet designed to retain most of its weight. The first creates a huge hole immediately upon impact. The second makes a smaller hole upon impact, then continues onward, creating a narrow, long "wound channel."
Big-game bullets often punch through the hide on the far side, sometimes leaving an exit hole not much bigger than the entrance hole. Many hunters take this small exit hole as evidence that the bullet didn't expand at all—which makes me wonder if they actually field-dress the animals they shoot, since damage inside the chest makes it obvious the bullet expanded.
I first became suspicious about the "slow-expanding" bullet theory about a decade ago when using a High Wall single-shot rifle in .30-40 Krag to shoot prairie dogs. I'd planned to hunt deer with that rifle, using a tang-mounted rear aperture and gold bead front sight, so I took it prairie dogging with some 180-grain Winchester Power-Point handloads. My companions found this amusing until just before noon when a prairie dog stood up around 200 yards away. I held the top of the bead on the varmint and shot. It tipped over, and when we investigated we found a small hole in its chest where the bullet had entered—and a 3/4-inch hole in its back, where the expanded bullet had exited. The reason the animal didn't come apart like those shot with .22-.250 Rems. is that the tougher bullet from the .30-40 didn't disintegrateᰬbut it still expanded, and obviously quickly.
There's one exception to this bullet behavior, the Berger Very Low Drag (VLD) bullet. Several years ago a few hunters started using these thin-jacket, soft-core "target" bullets to hunt deer and other big game. The VLDs did not disintegrate immediately upon striking animals, but inside them. In fact their entrance hole looked like it was poked by a knitting needle. How could this be?
Hunting bullets expand because their front end is weakened. Sometimes this is accomplished with a hole in the front end (making a "hollow-point") and sometimes by leaving the lead core exposed ("soft-point"). Both can be further weakened by longitudinal cuts. The front end collapses outward ("mushrooms") when the bullet strikes an animal.
In theory a hollow-point bullet opens when the cavity is forced wider by fluid or flesh. I am not so sure about this, because my favorite "tough" bullet test is a stack of dry newspapers. Even relatively hard hollow-points like Barnes X-Bullets will open up in fluid-free newspaper.
Also, I've tried poking the tip of a small safety pin into the hollow-point of a 168-grain 7 mm VLD and the pin simply stopped. In effect there is no hole in the tip of a VLD. The jacket, however, is extremely thin, and the tip of the bullet extends beyond the lead core, so the tip itself is hollow. Apparently the long, sharp ogive allows a VLD to pierce the hide, plus an inch or two of tissue beyond it, before the thin jacket collapses and the bullet upsets violently. This has since been demonstrated thousands of times not only in test media but game animals. In fact it normally works even when the bullet impacts light bone. The Berger VLD is among the quickest-killing deer bullets around because it disintegrates inside an animal, opening more slowly than standard big-game bullets.
The odd thing is that Berger recently introduced a heavier-jacket version, though not for hunting. In some target rifles the original, thin-jacketed version didn't hold up, especially when shot from cut-rifled barrels. So the thick-jacket version of the VLD is the "target" bullet, and the thin-jacket VLD the "hunting" bullet. Obviously this goes against the "rules" of big-game bullet behavior that every hunter knows.
This isn't because the hunter in question has actually studied the subject, but because he heard stuff 'round the campfire or read it in magazines. Among other things, he's been told that "shock" is a major factor in how expanding bullets work. When asked to explain shock the hunter in question often becomes irate, and responds with, "Everybody knows what shock is!" Maybe, maybe not. Let's look up shock in an unabridged descendant of Noah Webster's dictionary. It turns out there are a bunch of shocks, including sheaves of grain, the physiological effect of an electric current and being startled, as in "the rebuke came as a shock." Obviously those don't apply, since hunters don't zap deer with 110 AC, slap them with a wheat-whip, or rebuke them into the freezer. The definitions that could apply are:
1.) A sudden and violent blow or impact; collision.
2.) Pathology: A collapse of circulatory function, caused by severe injury, blood loss, or disease, and characterized by pallor, sweating, weak pulse and very low blood pressure.
Many hunters take the first definition. They think that a bullet hits so hard that a deer is shocked into unconsciousness, like a movie bad guy being lifted off his feet by a shotgun blast. Often kinetic energy is quoted, as in "the bullet hit with 2,000 ft.-lbs. of force." Sometimes this is even turned into "a ton of energy," conjuring images of a Hollywood car chase.
This sounds good, but a 2,000-pound compact car going 60 m.p.h. (88 fps) develops around 240,000 ft.-lbs. of kinetic energy, almost 100 times as much energy as a 180-grain .30-'06 Sprg. bullet retains at 100 yards. The car's energy will lift a deer off its feet, but the bullet won't.
In fact if a rifle bullet developed 240,000 ft.-lbs. of muzzle energy the rifle would slam its shooter to the ground, since the average hunter is about the same size as a mature whitetail buck. This is because of an old Newtonian rule of physics: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is what we feel when a .30-'06 Sprg. recoils, the "equal and opposite reaction" to the bullet leaving the muzzle.
Actually our shoulder feels a little more than that, because part of a rifle's recoil is the rocket effect of hot powder gas leaving the muzzle—which the deer doesn't receive. Yet when firing a .30-'06 Sprg. we're not slammed to the ground; instead our shoulder is pushed back an inch or two.
To demonstrate this lack of knock-down power I once built a "deer" out of a 3-foot-long wooden box and some 2x4s. When the box was filled with moist earth the deer weighed 150 pounds. I shot into the broadside box from 100 yards away, starting with .223 Rem., then .257 Roberts, .30-'06 Sprg., .338 Win. Mag. and, finally, the .416 Rem. Mag. The bullets were all stopped by the fake deer. The .416 seemed to rock the box a little, but the others didn't move it, even slightly.
So why do bullets sometimes appear to "knock down" an animal? Most of the time this occurs because the animal was hit in the spine. It isn't knocked down, but falls down because the spinal cord is severed. Sometimes, however, a bullet passes close enough to the spine to temporarily disrupt the nervous system, often by striking a rib or the "dorsal processes" on top of the vertebrae. If the bullet passes under the spine, through the lungs, the deer probably will go down and stay down, but if the bullet hits the top of the spine the deer may get up and run away.
A related theory is that a bullet that stays inside a deer expends all its energy, thus somehow "shocking" the deer more severely. Well, not exactly. Bullets that stay inside usually do so because they expanded widely. This slows them down quickly, due to resistance—but the wider bullet also creates a bigger hole in the deer's vital organs. The bigger hole, not kinetic energy shocking the deer, kills quickly.
How much energy is "lost" when a bullet exits? This has been determined by setting up a chronograph on the far side of a block of media. Normally an exiting bullet is going less than 1000 fps—often less—and we can assume the same is true of a bullet that exits a deer. A 180-grain bullet from a .30-'06 Sprg. at 100 yards carries about 2,500 ft.-lbs. of kinetic energy. If the bullet retains two-thirds of its weight (120 grains) and exits at 1000 fps , it has 266 ft.-lbs. of energy. Subtract 266 from 2,500 and we find that more than 2,200 ft.-lbs. of energy was "dumped" inside the animal. This would seem to be sufficient.
This is also part of the reason why many bullets are found just under the hide on the far side of big-game animals. Fresh animal hide is fairly tough, somewhat elastic, and only lightly connected to the muscle underneath. Most expanded bullets are rounded into the classic lead-faced "mushroom," so they can't cut their way through the hide at vastly reduced velocity. Instead they tend to push the hide away from the muscle—until the hide stops stretching and snaps back.
This is the heart of another fallacy believed even by some experienced hunters, who reason that a bullet that doesn't exit on broadside shots might not penetrate deeply enough on angling shots. This sounds logical, except that the inside of an animal's chest is mostly lungs, the softest organs in an animal's body, since they're filled partly with air. A bullet that penetrates into the lungs will almost always keep going until it reaches something tougher.
My wife Eileen shot a Shiras moose as it quartered away at about 125 yards. The Partition entered the short ribs on the left side and ended up under the hide on the right shoulder, with more than 30 inches of penetration. It did not stop halfway there, even though we have found other 150-grain Partitions under the hide after they only penetrated 15 inches of broadside elk.
Some modern bullets open into four sharp "petals" rather than a rounded mushroom. These petals tend to cut through the hide instead of merely pushing, one reason bullets like the Barnes X-Bullet and Nosler E-Tip often exit.
Of course, X-Bullets and E-Tips retain more weight than most bullets, but many bullets that retain 90 percent of their weight don't penetrate nearly as deeply. Frontal area is the primary factor in penetration, not retained weight. I once watched a hunting buddy shoot a 100-pound fallow deer with a 360-gr.ain.416 Woodleigh bullet, and the bullet stayed in the little deer. It was shot from a .416 wildcat at close to 2700 fps, somewhat faster than the muzzle velocity the bullet was designed for. It opened up to two and a half times its original diameter, so it didn't penetrate very far even though it retained 90 percent of its weight.
Oh, and the big bullet did not knock the deer down, despite striking with over "two tons" of kinetic energy. Instead the deer stumbled a few yards before falling. It takes at least 10 seconds for blood pressure to drop after even a small "big-game" animal is hit in the chest, even with a heavy bullet. Expanding bullets work because they induce the medical kind of "shock," causing blood pressure to drop by putting a hole in the vitals.
In the end it's that simple.

TGS '07: It's a sporting life at Hudson's healthy booth
Deca Sporta dominates the Japanese publisher's display on the show floor; Omega Drive and Dungeon Explorer DS also on hand.
By Dan Chiappini on September 24, 2007 at 11:25AM PDT
TOKYO--Hudson Soft, the creator of games such as the Bomberman series, had a large booth at TGS this year, but it was mainly dedicated to one game. The upcoming Deca Sporta for the Nintendo Wii took up more than 60 percent of the stand, with demo Wii units spread out over two levels.
The playable Deca Sporta units were all handled by a female hostess who would serve as the second player should someone try out the game without a partner. Three minigames were playable for Deca Sporta: archery, badminton, and snowboarding. The final product will ship with plenty more games, including soccer, basketball, curling, and more. Hudson also had a large stage set up at its booth, where what we assume were Japanese celebrities would occasionally get up and demo Deca Sporta's individual sports.
Hudson also found some space for a few of its other titles, including two playable PSPs and a Nintendo DS featuring Dungeon Explorer games. Two Xbox 360s were also set up to play the Xbox Live Arcade shooter Omega Drive.

Want to make sure that you have the best deal for your money when you buy sections for sale in the Christchurch area? More and more people are choosing to invest in land for sale in CHCH rather than choosing to buy a prebuilt home. As with any other type of purchase, there are some pros and cons which you need to be aware of before you start buying property sections, including the likelihood of plans falling through, and the risk of failure of the investment. These risks can be avoided if you take the time to do your homework before you invest in any property sections.
There are a few things that you need to do before you even look at any sections, and that is to research the prices of land for sale in Christchurch, and the success of any particular seller or developer in that area. You may also want to consider financial packages offered by developers which can help you with the purchase of the section; comparing dealership packages with mortgage proposals from banks and high street building societies can be very informative. When you are doing these basic checks, never be afraid about asking questions, and making sure that all of the agreements are made in writing and are confirmed by the developer. This will help to keep you on firm ground if you are satisfied with the finished section. While you are in discussions with the developer, you should also take the time to discuss the viability of your building plans, and whether you are likely to get a good return on your investment.
In case you want to buy a property rather than land, before you make any commitments, you should check out the Land Information Memorandum, or LIM, which is a report on the actual condition of the property. The report should contain details of drainage, rating information, any issues with the soil, any earthquake-related information, consents, licences, and standard rates for the area. Any other information which might be relevant to the property owner should also be included in the LIM report. Reading all the information on this report will give you a clear idea of whether you are investing in a viable rural residential property for sale, or whether you will need to have work done on the property before it is habitable.
Here the author, Ethan Max, writes this content about rural residential property for sale . If you have any query about services, visit our website "http://www.braeburnestate.co.nz" or feel free to call us on "027 222 1292"
When you get started in flipping homes or making rehab purchases, you will find that one roadblock will be determining how much to offer for the home.
Buyers pursue short sales to get a good deal. So when you see a price listed for a home that you think is too low for the neighborhood, before you jump on that price like hot fudge on a sundae, ask your agent to call the listing agent to find out if the home is a short sale.
Becoming a homeowner is the dream of many people, and many are making this dream a reality by buying foreclosed homes.

Singapore Zoo, Night Safari lions infected by COVID-19 Delta strain: AVS
Staff Writer, Singapore
·Editorial Team

SINGAPORE — The five lions at the Mandai Wildlife Group's Singapore Zoo and Night Safari which had tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month were infected by the more contagious Delta strain.
In response to Yahoo News Singapore's queries, the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) on Friday (26 November) said that this was confirmed by the virus genome sequencing of the animals' samples.
When asked about whether it will be testing samples from other animals in the Mandai Wildlife Group's wildlife parks, the AVS noted that there are no signs of sickness in other animals.
Routine testing of healthy animals for COVID-19 "is not recommended at this stage" by the World Organisation for Animal Health, it added.
The AVS had on 9 November announced that four Asiatic lions at the Night Safari tested positive for COVID-19.
A day later, it confirmed that an African lion at the Singapore Zoo also tested positive for the disease.
The animals had exhibited respiratory symptoms including coughing, sneezing, and lethargy, following exposure to infected keepers from the Mandai Wildlife Group.
It was the first time that any animal at its four wildlife parks – which manages includes Jurong Bird Park and River Wonders – was confirmed to be infected with the disease.
African lion exhibit to reopen; Asiatic lions still isolated
In a separate media statement on Friday, the Mandai Wildlife Group said Singapore Zoo will reopen its African lion exhibit on Saturday following the recovery of the infected lion. The exhibit had been closed since 9 November.
All five African lions had been quarantined in the back-of-house area since the detection of the disease among them on 9 November. Such areas are designed as standalone units for different species and are not connected.
The AVS lifted the isolation order on the lions on Tuesday.
However, the Night Safari's Asiatic lions remain in isolation with mild symptoms. Its exhibit along the tram route at the park has been closed since 7 November, with all nine Asiatic lions isolated in the back-of-house area.
"All the lions are bright, alert, and recovering well. The animal care and veterinary teams continue to provide them with the necessary care and ensure they stay well hydrated," the Mandai Wildlife Group said.
The group also added that the infected keepers have since fully recovered and are back to work, adding that no other species have been observed to be exhibiting symptoms of the virus.
It previously said the staff members had likely been infected independently of each other. More than 99 per cent of their employees are fully vaccinated with staff members progressively receiving booster shots.
There are no plans yet to vaccinate animals across its wildlife parks against COVID-19.
Across the US, zoos and wildlife parks have increasingly opted to vaccinate their animals against the virus, some after reporting cases of infection among their mammals.

Cat collars are great way to inform others of your cat's address, your phone number and other information such as confirming that your cat has their rabies shots.
Many people feel that only out door need to wear a collar, however in case of an emergency where your house cat is accidental let out of your home, their collar provides a way for others to be able to contact you and safely bring your feline friend home.
Cat collars come in many different collars, sizes, designs and material. It is very important to make sure when buying a collar that it is the right size, make sure that you can you can comfortable fit two fingers between your cat's neck and the collar, that will show you that it is a perfect fit. As your cat grows from a kitten into an adult cat you will need to adjust your cat's collar so that it fits perfectly.
There are three main types of collars; buckles,break away and elastic.
Collars with buckles are a traditional type of cat accessory. They mainly come in either nylon and leather, and come in many decorative styles. Although these types of collars have been around for years, they are not the safest type of collars to buy for your cat. Once buckled this collar is very restrictive and if your active cat gets into a situation where he/she gets caught on something,this type of collar could possible choke your cat.
This collar is mostly recommended for senior indoor cats who are less active, however keep in mind that even a senior cat is still curious, and still may find his/her self in a situation where he/she may need to be able to quickly get out of their collar.
Break awy collars also come in many attractive colors and designs. These collars have a clasp that when pressure, like your cat's weight, is placed on the clasp it opens. These collars are safe because if your cat's collar gets stuck in something like a branch, your cats pulling will open the clasp, preventing the collar from strangling your cat and allowing your cat to go free.
Your cat may also be able to open the clasp if they consistently pull at it with their claws, our cats have, so you may have to place the collar back on their necks several times.Although there is a chance that this collar could be removed by your cat if they do get lost, it is much safer than your cat getting tangled and being unable to remove the collar from their neck. A combination of a break away collar and microchipping your cat is the best way to locate and help to keep your cat from accidentally strangling themselves in case they do get lost.
These cat collars are made of stretchy material. If you cat needs to get out of it's collar, the material expands as the cat pushes until the cat can push it's head out of the collar. This is a safe cat collar because it is not restrictive and allows your cat to be able to break free if the collar get caught.
This type of collar can also be found in different colours and style in your pet store. Both the break away and the elastic are great ways to both add tags to identify your cat and help to prevent your cat from harm if the collar every does get caught.
