Participation in Fisheries Management for Improved Livelihoods of Artisanal Fisheries Communities in West Africa
Cacaud, P.
Lenselink, N.
MetadataShow full item record
A number of trends can be identified which are conducive to increased collaboration between fishers and government in fisheries management measures, as well as for an increased attention for livelihoods aspects. On the fishers' side there are already existing (though not generally 'traditional') rules and committees governing fishing and there is an increasing awareness in communities for the need to protect stocks. The government has increasing interest in artisanal fisheries and already existing processes of consultation with fishers for the elaboration of management measures. In addition there are ongoing decentralisation processes which promote sharing of responsibilities with local institutions for the management of natural resources and already existing participatory mechanisms such as local fisheries councils and communitybased fisheries management committees. However, a number of factors complicate increased collaboration and consensus-building between fishers and government in fisheries management measures and attention for livelihoods aspects. Different groups of fishers and processors with different interests make collaboration difficult. There is a history of strained relations between fishers and government authorities. The authorities themselves have been unable or unwilling to enforce already existing laws, a situation complicated by unclear mandates or de facto division of tasks between different government organisations concerned with fisheries and maritime affairs. Finally, communication, financing and staffing of government agencies are not always sufficient for responsible fisheries management.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Technology to enhance nature on trail
By using your smart phone, a walk along Headingley's Grand Trunk Trail will soon be more educational.
Grand Trunk Trail Association chair Diana Juchnowski said 10 interpretive video stations are being placed along the trail. Each will contain a QR code, and if scanned with a smart phone, will connect to a video highlighting a specific aspect of the trail, such as the plants and wildlife that can be seen.
"The purpose of the stations is to educate the viewer even more about nature along the trail," she said.
Biologist Heather Hinam, who provided information for the recently-opened kiosk in Riverview Park, is designing the content of the videos, and might serve as the narrator.
The stations will focus on topics including the evening soundscape, wild grasses and the ecosystem of a tree.
Juchnowski said the first station could be in place later this year, with the others to follow in the spring and summer.

I am trying to make a script that will allow me to read all files in a directory line by line while doing a command to a specific column of these files. The files that I am dealing with are .txt files that have values that are separated by commas. I am able to execute the code with a single file by inputting the text file to the script and then outputting the values but not with multiple files, which is my goal. I would like the files to be read in the order they are in in the directory. Here is what I have so far.
for "$file" in "$directory";
while read -ra line;
if [ "${line[1]}" != "" ]; then
echo -n "${line[*]}, Hash Value:"; echo "${line[1]}" | openssl dgst -sha1 | sed 's/^.* //'
if [ "${line[1]}" == "" ]; then
echo "${line[*]}, Hash Value:None";
Some of the errors that I am getting are:
$ ./orange2.sh
/dos2unix/test1.txt: line 1: hello: command not found
/dos2unix/test1.txt: line 2: goodbye: command not found
/dos2unix/test1.txt: line 4: last: command not found
./orange2.sh: line 28: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
./orange2.sh: line 33: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Any tips, suggestions, or examples?
Thanks all
I am also looking to copy all of the files eventually to contain the command that you see in the first if statement so I would like to a.) keep my files separate and b.) create a copy that will contain the updated value.

Elvis Costello is teaming up with Elton John for a new TV show. Elton will produce, and Elvis will interview celebrities in-depth for the show, called Spectacle: Elvis Costello With...which will air on the Sundance Channel. Sounds a but like Inside th Actors Studio, doesn't it?
But apparently the duo thinks their show will be different from anything we've heard from celebrities. Costello says, "I'd rather hear about a bright secret, a deep love or a curiosity that might be otherwise obscured by fame. This is a wonderful opportunity to talk in complete thoughts about music, movies, art or even vaudeville, then frame it with unique and illustrative performances."
A percentage of the show's income will go to the Global Fund's AIDS Relief Program.

NSFW! Rita Ora Wears a See-Thru Top
Rita Ora loves to show off her body. The amazing thing is that she managed to do just that recently in London while dressed head to toe in black. We're talking pants to her ankles and a mock turtleneck top. How? The top was transparent. And Rita must have forgotten to wear a bra. Getty photographer Mark Robert Milan snapped the singer as she was leaving the Shepherd's Bush Empire music venue, and the resulting photos are definitely NSFW viewing! More »

Under 'Unreserved Ticketing System' for less than 200 km railway journey
MADURAI: Withdrawal of issuing unreserved train tickets three days prior to date of journey under the 'Unreserved Ticketing System' (UTS) for journeys made for a distance less than 200 km has drawn flak from the travelling public.
The Indian Railways popularised UTS in 2005 for the benefit for passengers with unreserved tickets who form 92 per cent of total train passengers. This spared the people of waiting in long queues to buy tickets on the day of journey. However, it was "modified" last July after the railways detected "leakage of revenue" as UTS tickets were "misused for multiple journeys."
"Railways should strengthen its ticket checking wing to prevent misuse by a negligible number of passengers instead of withdrawing the facility per se for a large number of passengers," said K. Muthiah, executive trustee of Consortium for Consumer Justice. The consortium has received representations from several quarters on the issue.
"In simple terms, modification of UTS means people from Madurai cannot buy UTS tickets to go to Tiruchi, Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Rameswaram. If people on these routes, who form a major chunk of passengers using unreserved tickets, are not able to get tickets then the facility is not worth it," he said.
Not only the passengers, but also the railways benefited from UTS. "The Railways will get the money three days in advance. Ticket counters will not be crowded, especially during festival, vacation and marriage seasons. It is because the crowd is evenly distributed throughout the day as people buy UTS tickets during less-crowded time," Mr. Muthiah said.
Besides, the Railways also benefited due to cancellation of tickets. "And not all who cancel their journeys come to the Railways to get the refund," he said.
A large number of people, anxious to find seats in unreserved coaches of Vaigai Express and passenger trains bound for Rameswaram, Senchottah and Dindigul, jostle at the UTS counters in Madurai junction. Uniformed personnel have to intervene and regulate them at the counters between 5.30 a.m. and 7 a.m. every day.
Passengers feel that the railways should lift the restriction either by allowing all UTS bookings at least one day in advance or permitting UTS booking for a distance of 50 km or above, so that misuse is reduced. A railway staff suggested that though it is not possible to check each and every passenger coming out of the unreserved coaches, at least mass ticket checking drives could be conducted frequently to discourage misuse. The Divisional Railway Manager, Anil Singhal, said that the decision was taken by the Railway Board and any further modification could be done only by it. At a time when the railways has allowed use of internet and extended time up to 90 days for reservation for passengers of reserved coaches, restricting UTS, a popular facility, which mostly serves the poor and the aged who cannot afford to travel in reserved coaches, is seen as unfair.

What to Do About Spidermites on Flowering Blueberries
Two of my blueberry bushes in pots have spider mites. The bushes are in heavy flower. Every mite killer I found is toxic to bees. What should I do? I appreciate any suggestions.
Oil works pretty well, better than I expected. But don't apply after fruit set. It marks the fruit, makes it dark.
The other thing you might try is a strong spray of water every day. That's what the oldtimers used.
There are very effective new miticides but they are expensive and hard to find the one cleared for fruit. If you could find the ag versions of Avid and Floramite you would get nearly season long control from one spray.
This post was edited by fruitnut on Fri, May 10, 13 at 18:14
Spider mites are nasty business once they have a foothold. I've found that prevention is really the key. Start by making sure that you don't have any bare dirt areas nearby. They love dry, hot and dusty areas. They hate moisture. Cover all bare dirt with mulch, some kind of ground cover or hardscape. Hose the undersides of the leaves with a decent spray of water -- early and often. Don't use pesticides (even organic) as you want to build up the predatory mite populations.
Find the ag version with the same active ingredients, abamectin and bifenazate. I was lucky to find both 10 years ago in CA. But have no clue how to find them now.
Following: Non ag version, ag version, active ingredient
Avid, Agri-Mek, abamectin
Floramite, Acramite, bifenazate
The weed growers are the experts and buy from places like below. There are many new materials out now. Might even be good organic options I'm not familiar with.
Here is a link that might be useful: miticides

Volume is a fitting name for a polygonal, Metal Gear Solid VR Missions-looking stealth game with enough rectangles to feed a geometry class for the entire year. In the case of Mike Bithell's Thomas Was Alone follow-up, however, "volume" is more about sound than shapes.
Lead Locksley can't kill or attack. It's all about being a sneak. Noise, then, becomes an important weapon for luring guards from their posts, and every bit of noise fractures the world so you can nicely see its effect, along with the ever-present enemy fields of vision.
It's about sight, too. Sound, sight, shapes. These things come together to make a readable stealth game with enough abstraction that it feels more puzzler than sneaking romp. Think Hitman GO compared to Hitman.view full story + comments
Y2K began with protagonist Alex Eggleston returning to his his hometown from college. I watched him gaze out of bus windows until the scene shifted to him sharing a seat with a man in a panda costume.
This was jarring enough to give Alex reason to look completely shaken and offended, and as the jaunty soundtrack suggested, should have felt super quirky and weird. It didn't.view full story + comments
Capcom has been on quite a roll lately. With the announcement of Street Fighter V, new releases in the Devil May Cry series coming, and the recent success of its HD Remaster for Resident Evil, it seems like the once troubled publisher has found its way back to the hearts of fans. And with the reveal of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 late last year, it has plenty more in store for fans of the survival horror series.
I got the opportunity to play a decent chunk of Revelations 2 last year, and I was pretty impressed with how the mystery was being brought back to the series. Dabbling into episodic gaming, this installment is set to be released through four episodes; one will release every week from February 24th to March 18th. It's a pretty experimental, and unique take on Resident Evil, and that might be just what the franchise needs.
But just before its debut next month, the folks at Capcom invited me out to get another crack at their experiment. And during my session, I got reacquainted with an old buddy from the series' past, and even got to take the new and improved Raid Mode for a test run.view full story + comments
Confession time: I'm pretty out of the loop when it comes to the indie game scene. I love me some Nidhogg, Samurai Gunn, and Crawl, but it's not uncommon for me to have only heard about these games just before release or later. With that track record, you won't be surprised to hear that I knew nothing about Titan Souls before sitting down with it at PAX.
I am so glad that I did, though. Between the music, art, and the brilliantly challenging combat, Titan Souls is far and away one of my most anticipated releases.view full story + comments
Mighty No. 9 is probably one of the most anticipated games of 2015. After a massive Kickstarter, creator Inafune and developers Comcept and Inti Creates have kicked off a long line of products to hype it up, including Mighty Gunvolt and a potential cartoon.
After all that hype though we finally have a chance to play the game. I have to say, it has the feel of a Mega Man game, but a few aspects definitely took some getting used to.view full story + comments
Sure, Natural Doctrine doesn't look great (well, the environments; it does look better in miniature on the Vita). It's a far cry from director Atsushi Ii's gorgeous minimalism in Patapon.
But Kadokawa Games' first internal venture can get a pass for looking a bit dated if the core gameplay can hold up, and it just might. Producer Kensuke Tanaka felt that JRPGs were "lacking in difficulty," that they didn't "make you think," NIS America representatives explained. Natural Doctrine is an answer to that.
However, NIS America was not able to answer why exactly the lead in a fantasy RPG of orcs, magic and lizard men is named Jeff.view full story + comments
I tried my hardest to imagine what the combination of pinball and RPG would look and play like before meeting with Atlus at E3, but I kept coming to mental roadblocks so I decided to wait and be surprised when I got to see it. When I finally did see and play this unimaginable creation from indie debs Phantom Compass, I certainly was surprised.
First, I was surprised at how off-base I was with my imagined concepts. More importantly, I was surprised at how well it all came together in upcoming game Rollers of the Realm.view full story + comments
As Miku fans likely already know, Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA F 2nd is coming to North America this year, to both PS3 and Vita. It was through your support for the first title that this sequel's release is possible, Sega tells Destructoid. That strong support also made it so that Sega will be bringing physical releases for both versions. That's great news for fellow Vita fans.
I spent a little bit of time with DIVA F 2nd. As you know, the gameplay is pretty close to that of the first game. But they've made a few changes and improvements to that gameplay. In playing through "The World is Mine," "Decorator," and "Doppelgänger," I had to get used to the stick flicking and linked stars (tracing shapes with analog sticks), but those are fun after you get them down. I liked being able to tweak the difficulty settings even further with items, especially on stages I sucked on. Even Normal setting is pretty challenging at first.
There will be 40 songs in this release, some of which have only been available in Japan until now. Old ones were upgraded to HD, too. Some of the videos for these stages were crazy busy, but that's how I like it.
No surprises here, though. Series fans know what they're getting. Stay tuned for more news on DIVA F 2nd's release.view full story + comments
In upcoming online Vita action RPG Freedom Wars, you are sentenced to a million years in prison. Not a typo. In fact, everyone in this messed up future world is born with a million year sentence. But you can work that sentence down by taking on missions to rescue captured civilians from an attacking alien race.
But mess up on that mission and your sentence goes back up. Actually, this world is so strict that if you run you're technically breaking the law, and that can increase your sentence.
Yep, you're kind of hunting... monsters. But that's okay, right?view full story + comments

Max hung out with Dave and Daniel of Spry Fox Games to check out their upcoming title, The Road Not Taken. From the makers of Triple Town, this puzzle roguelike puts the player in an adorable world, with dark undercurrents.

Galak-Z has gone through some changes since we first heard about it. The space shooter from 17-bit Studios (Skulls of the Shogun) has jumped on the roguelike train. I mean space train. Damn. I messed that up.
I messed up plenty playing Galak-Z as well. It took a while just to unlearn Luftrausers flying controls, though that constant fear from imminent danger remains from a multitude of enemies. Peons, Gundam-esque mecha, space spiders. 17-bit's Jake Kazdal explains that Galak-Z has the best AI around.
It's certainly aggressive, with a little bit of wiliness.
Anyone that has even the slightest bit of familiarity with Hotline Miami knows what defines it. The neon-swathed visuals, the gratuitous violence, the quick and unforgiving gameplay, and the blaring soundtrack all made the game as loved as it was. With regard to a sequel, any deviation from this formula would result in something that just wasn't Hotline Miami.
So, Dennaton Games isn't going to.
Judging by the build of Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number that was at PAX East, the pieces are in place to give fans of the original more of what they want. The two stages on display showed off the exact style that many have come to know and love, but also expressed how Dennaton is ready to offer something a little new.view full story + comments
Hyper Light Drifter is on the top of a lot of people's lists of most anticipated games. For good reason, too. The quick-paced, action-RPG with a retro aesthetic looks like it's going to be an absolute pleasure to play. If you're not familiar with it, Alessandro wrote a preview of the build we saw at GDC.
Heart Machine has a new experience to show off for PAX East. Hyper Light Drifter has a cooperative mode that we hadn't gotten to try before. It's basically a horde mode with endlessly spawning enemies. However, unlike most co-op endeavors, your partner could very well be more trouble than he's worth.view full story + comments
GDC is full of neat games. There are sentai management sims. Body building cats. Hyper Light Drifter. But one of the neatest games I played during GDC is To Leave, which creative director Estefano Palacios says is the first indie game out of Ecuador. It's definitely the first one coming to PS4 and Vita. (Incidentally, check out the promoted cblog from last year, Gaming in Latin America).
Sony discovered the 12 person team's game as part of its Latin America, Incubation Program and has been "instrumental" in getting it exposure, flying Palacios out to GDC to rep the game, and technology, giving the team dev kits.
Palacios discovered me, hustling to take advantage of his good fortune, while I shambled, eyes glazed over, trying to remember where I was going and where I had been. I'm glad he did, because chatting with him and playing To Leave perked me right up.view full story + comments

It seems like a given, but NVIDIA is preparing another VGA card for release in the very near future: the GeForce GTX 980 Ti. The GTX 980 Ti would be a cut down version of the GM200-powered Titan X, with 6GB framebuffer and it'll be around 10% faster than Titan X, too.
According to SweClockers the new GeForce GTX 980 Ti would be the flagship card that NVIDIA will push, versus the Titan X. One of the reason this is, in my opinion, is that the new GTX 980 Ti can have add-in-board (AIB) partners play with the PCB and cooling setup, something that can't be done on the Titan X.
This will allow for some huge overclocks on the GTX 980 Ti, and some very exotic cooling setups. We should expect NVIDIA to unveil the GeForce GTX 980 Ti sometime in the second half of the year, after AMD launch its Radeon R9 390X.

Autonomous vehicles appear to be on the horizon in the United States, but one-third of drivers say they would never purchase a self-driving car, according to a recent Harris Poll.
In addition, more than one third of respondents believe autonomous vehicles might actually be the future of driving, and one quarter think the self-driving cars mimic something out of the Jetsons. Drivers can't seem to agree how safe autonomous vehicles are, with 52 percent revealing they think they are dangerous, while 48 percent believe it's safe for vehicle occupants.
Looking ahead, automakers will be able to sell autonomous vehicles when they work out the "bugs" involved, though one-third of drivers said they would never consider purchasing a self-driving car.

Since the first Call of Duty video game launched more than 10 years ago, 175 million copies have been sold worldwide - one copy sold approximately every two seconds, Activision has confirmed.
In addition, more than 100 billion multiplayer matches have been played online, with more than 300 billion grenades thrown.
Call of Duty still hasn't been able to keep up with Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto, selling more than 185 million copies. But CoD has racked up better sales than LEGO, Mario, FIFA, Final Fantasy, Pokemon, and Need for Speed - with all the series able to rack up more than 100 million units sold.
Sony has just unveiled its new line of Bravia TVs, with a mix of 4K and 1080p sets that are sure to impress. One of the stand outs from this is the new X9000C from Sony, a new 4K TV that is just 4.9mm thick.
The new X9000C is just 4.9mm thick, making it thinner than most of the smartphones on the market. This gave Sony the huge headline of "the world's thinnest 4K LCD TV" which I'm sure it's going to use to its advantage. Sony's Creative Center Toyko Senior Director, Daisuke Shiono, the X9000C series uses the "Floating Style" suspension design. The company has also stuck to its "seamless" design concept, as you can see in the image above.
Sony's new TV is powered by its own 4K image processing chip: X1. Sony's X1 processor uses elite light-control technology that can "let the audience see the chiaroscuro more significant picture, as if the reality of light and dark portions of the visual effects".
During Facebook's F8 developer conference, CEO and founder Mark Zuckerberg announced that 360-degree spherical videos will soon be on users' News Feeds.
Zuckerberg showed the audience a demonstration of the new 360-degree video, which was filmed at its Menlo Park-based HQ. The in-house footage was captured with an array of 24 camera working together, which allows a user to look freely within a virtual environment - perfect for that $2 billion acquisition of Oculus VR last year.
The best bit about the new 360-degree videos is that they don't require a VR headset like the Oculus Rift to be played back, as they'll work on normal computers, smartphones and tablets. Facebook does want to see Oculus Rift owners putting their Rift headsets on and watching the content that way, but we don't even know when the CV1 of the Rift will be made available yet. Facebook has, however, been on a .huge hiring spree leading up to the launch of the Oculus Rift CV1
Apple tends to be ahead of the curve when it comes to the camera sensor found in its iPhone, and while the iPhone 6 Plus might only feature an 8-megapixel rear-facing snapper, it's a damn good one.
Well, the new iPhone could have an even better sensor thanks to a patent that was granted to the company from the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The new patent is for a three-sensor, prism-based camera design that teased it as a "digital camera with light splitter" where an individual sensor would be capable of collecting red, green, and blue wavelengths.
This new sensor would be more expensive for Apple to bake into its next-gen iPhone, and it would also take up more space within the handset, something Apple is not going to be happy with. We should hear more about the new iPhone in the next couple of months.
The Siberia Times is reporting that Russian Railways' President, Vladimir Yakunin, has proposed a plan to build a gigantic trans-Siberian highway that would stretch from London, to New York.
The project has been called the Trans-Eurasian Belt Development, or TEPR, which would see a major highway constructed alongside the existing Trans-Siberian Railway, right next to a new train network, and oil and gas pipelines. Siberian Times quoted Yakunin as saying: "This is an inter-state, inter-civilization, project. The project should be turned into a world 'future zone,' and it must be based on leading, not catching, technologies".
Yakunin has said that the proposed TEPR would run across the entirety of Russia, linking up to the existing road systems found in Western Europe and Asia. Yakunin also added that it would connect Russia directly with North America through its own far eastern Chukotka region, and then across the Bering Strait, through to Alaska's Seward Peninsula.

STOW, OH, October 1, 2010 â Audio-Technica supports the recent Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision to protect wireless microphones from interference by TV Band Devices (TVBD).
The FCC Memorandum Opinion and Order issued September 23 sets aside two TV channels in each market specifically for wireless microphones. This will allow wireless microphones to operate in those protected channels without interference from new âwhite space devices.â? In addition, according to the FCC ruling, professional users of large arrays of wireless microphones, such as theatrical performances and music concerts, can apply for extended spectrum coverage via a geolocation database that the FCC is building and that is currently up for bid for management.
This long-awaited FCC ruling is the culmination of over two years of testing and lobbying efforts among competing interests for the white spaces spectra, and represents a clear path forward for professional users of wireless microphones.
âWe are pleased with the FCC decision, as it recognizes the important contributions to art, entertainment, news and technology that wireless microphones have made,â? said Jackie Green, Audio-Technica Vice President of R&D/Engineering. âAudio-Technica wireless systems are technically well-positioned to operate in the environment defined September 23 by the FCCâs Order. We have products that operate in the VHF range, products that operate below Channel 21 where portable TVBD are prohibited, products that operate in the two reserved band ranges, and we also have wireless systems in use today that offer true digital ultra wideband technology. Many of our wireless systems are designed to work well when numerous simultaneous channels are needed or when used in channels adjacent to TV.â?
Green continued, âAs a leading developer of wireless microphone technology, Audio-Technica has always taken a deep interest and a proactive stance in all situations that could affect the spectra that our customers use. For instance, we vacated the 700-MHz band more than eight years ago, and have developed products that work in lower bands. We have also developed and pioneered the first commercially available ultra wideband audio product, SpectraPulse® UWB Wireless Microphone System that operates entirely outside the broadband and TV Band Devices (TVBD)-white spaces area. Audio-Technica has always maintained a commitment to continuous improvement and reliability of wireless microphones in the increasingly crowded RF environment, and the FCC Order has opened the door to our future investment in technical development by making it clear that wireless microphones are here to stay.â?

Yesterday, I tried to fix my stay at a guest ranch in the Texas Hill Country. However, the ranch of my choice is closed for a week due to a family wedding. I have checked for alternatives, but I either do not like the ranch or it is way too expensive. Therefore, I will jump on a horse in New Mexico or Arizona. Naturewise I will like those states better anyways.
So, this forenoon I will hop in a bus to San Antonio. Jan 29th in the evening, I will fly to El Paso.

-4 Claims.
This invention relates to paper making; more especially to the making of paper that is capafble of stretching in one or more directions, on the usual paper making machinery as modified only to -the extent required to carry out this invention. I
The need of a paper that will stretch is recognized, and is ordinarily met by applying to the paper-making machine a scraping or doctor blade which rests against a roller over which the lm of paper passes while wet. This blade causes the Wet i'llm to leave the doctoring device with crinkles which ordinarily run across it. Such crinkled film is next carefully dried and, to some extent, its crinkled formation persists through drying and subsequent operations.
However, for certain purposes, a creped-paper sheet is not satisfactory. It necessarily possesses the appearance of crepe though a smoother face would often be desired. Creping the paper necessarily reduces its 4area per pound of pulp for a given weight-basis of paper. It also requires some slowing down of the papermaking process, ordinarily, because it is less readily dried, since its roughened surfaces do no't meet eiiciently the usual drying apparatus.
Moreover if I wish to produce paper capable of stretching transversely of the sheet I find the doctor blade method unsatisfactory since it produces expansibility in the paper in the longitudinal line, and such creping does not add to the transverse stretchability of the paper.
If, by contrast, one sets up apparatus to crepe or crumple the paper with crinkles placed lto give it transverse stretchability, the cost. of the creping or crumpling operation is further increased.
-Other expediente than creping are known and practiced; for instance, the plaiting of paper may be noted. This involves plaiting the sheet, that is, doufbling it back upon itself in folds or ruilles. Or the paper-furnish may contain rubber latex along with the cellulosic elements and thus, if not too heavily calendered, the sheet will stretch to a limited extent, even While maintaining a relatively smooth surface.
On the sco-re of cost, these latter expedients are more burdensome than the usual crepingv rections, to such extent of stretch as suices for many commercial and industrial uses; and without any material addition to the normal paper-making costs; and without reduction of the covering-power of the sheet. That is, I may produce a sheet of (e. g) forty-pound weight basis which has to some extent the normal characteristics of the conventional forty-pound sheet but which will, in addition, stretch in one or more directions when strained, without rupture.
In carrying out my invention I have taken cognizance of the fact that when the nlm of Wet pulp leaves the usual Fourdrinier-machine screen, or the like, it is composed, roughly speaking, of three pounds of water associated with every one pound of bre calculated on the airdry weight of such bre.
If, in the usual paper-making operation, this lm of Wet pulp is next carried through squeeze rolls, and thence to the usual drying apparatus, it loses more and more of its initial water content until at last the resulting paper becomes substantially dry or, as it is called air dry.
However, the progressive removal of water from the pulp is determined, stage after stage, by the squeezing and drying apparatus through which it passes.' Thus, to consider an illustraytive example, a. so-calied sulphite pulp may iiow onto the paper-making screen with one part of solid components along with 99 of Warter, and may leave the screen as a fairly consolidated lm with its solids raised to 25 parts of the solid components along with parts of water. It then undergoes some further dewatering by being passed through a succession of squeezing or pressing rolls and may leave the last of these, on its way to be dried, with its solids raised (e. g.) to 30 per cent.
`During the stages intervening fbetween its removal from the screen and its subsequent entrance into the remoter sections of the drying system, the wet film of partly-consolidated paper-making material may be :considered to Vbe ductile. Its component :libres have not yet become so stoutly interfelted or so firmly bonded by Whatever ligneous solids or additive sizing materials it may contain that the iilm will resist moderate stretching or embossing or other shape-changing agencies of like character.
In my invention I have taken'cognizance of this plasticity or ductility of the Wet iilm. and used it for a novel purpose. Briefly described, my invention consists in subjecting this wet film tothe action of uted rollers or of one uted roller opposed, on the opposite face of the lm, by a resilient or yieldable roller or the like. and
` rollers, becomes within thus causing it to be rete-hed along selected paths or zones, after which I cause the film as a whole to undergo the usual compacting and drying operation in a manner to force the stretch zones to go back into the general plane of the film without essentially altering either the lateral or the longitudinal dimension. of the film as a whole; that is, with no appreciable change of its weight-basis. By' weight-basis I mean the recognized basis as defined by stating the air-dry weight of a ream of such paper of designated dimensions.
Obviously my wet nlm, when uted by my those iluted portions, of less basis-weight than that of the unaffected at areas of the film. But obviously 4also when these iiuted portions are next crushed back to the approximately planar formation of the film then any given area of such first-fiuted-andthen-crushed area resumes its initial weight basis.
However, in the iiuting of any element of my film I necessarily disturb the felted formation that was natural to the vparticular pulp and the particular paper-making process used. I have to some extent forced the fibres from their initial lie in the iilm. Thus in a characteristic iiute, as I form it, having width of it; inch, and a substantially semi-circular shape, the width of the pulp lying on such flute was originally et; inch, but becomes 157/1000 approximately when forced into the ute to fill it. Momentarily, therefore, its weight-basis drops in that proportion, and its component fibres are disturbed and pulled apart correspondingly.
If, next, the film so fluted is quickly pressed back to essential planar form, thesev disturbed fibres, having no meansof reforming themselves to their original position, and having nowhere else to go, go back in a heiter-skelter mass to form again into the original 116 inch width. They therefore take on, in thisoperation a formation that the paper-maker would recognize as wi1d"; a formation characterized by little if any general orientation of the fibres, but by their being assembled or jumbled in all directions and compacted into a lm'of the original weight-basis while so jumbled.
I have found that bres subjected to this novel operation give to the sheet comprised in part of such fibres what I call a latent stretchability. The sheet may have a substantially uninterrupted flatness of surface, and yet the fluted and recompacted zones possess the quality of stretching under severe tension imposed on the sheet as a whole.

In these drawings l represents a supply-source of pulp. 2 is the chest or reservoir of pulp delivering to the Fourdrinier screen over the usual apron 3.
The pulp-stock flows over the apron onto the paper-making screen 4 which moves rapidly to the right.
This screen is endless, and is supported by the breast-roll 5 at the place where it receives the pulp stock.
The pulp-stock, nowing from 2 over 3 onto 4 is kept from spilling laterally olf the screen by the usual deckle straps 6 mounted on the rotatable and suitably flanged wheels l.
The screen is ln part supported, and the pulp partly dewatered by a system of table rolls 8 contacting the under face of the screen. The pulp may be further dewatered by one or more suction boxes, 9, placed under the screen and evacuated through the suction outlet I0.
At its limit furthest from the pulp supply the screen 4 passes under a couch roll Il, which may be a suctionroll for the further dewatering of the pulp, said screen returning on itself around the roll I2, after which it passes over and under the guiding and stretch rolls T, T, T to the roll 5.
At S is indicated a shower pipe to wash off residual pulp.
The fllm of wet pulp as formed on this screen is indicated throughout the drawings by the number I3.
:Leaving the couch roll II the film I3 passes to a press roll assembly or to a series of two or more such assemblies.
A single press-roll assembly is shown in Fig. l.
Its operating parts are an endless felt I4, two press rolls I5 and I1 and'suitable guiding and tensioning rolls I5. The lm I3 which here passes onto the felt I 4 is squeezed between the rollers I6 and Il.
After undergoing such squeezing, whether from one, or more press-roll assemblies, the lm of pulp may now be passed between rollers I8 and I9, one of which, here shown as the upper roll I8, may be grooved circumferentially with a system of grooves to be hereinafter more fully described. The other roll, in this instance the lower roll I9, may have a resilient and yieldable surfacing material such as vulcanized rubber or may be covered with a tubular dryer felt shrunk upon it in a manner familiar to paper-makers.
Passing from between these two rollers the nlm now enters any convenient'. drying system here indicated as a series of drying cans.
The dryer assemblage, as indicated, consists typically, but not necessarily, of 'two horizontal series or rotating cylinders or cans 22. one such usually kept hot by steam fed suitably to their hollow interiors.
n its passage through the drying assembly the film is carried on the usual dryer felt 20 which is guided and controlled through the usual takeup and carrying rollers 2I. The cylinders 22 are rotated suitably to carry the dryer felt 28 and the film I3 continuously forward at the proper speed.
It will be understood that the apparatus above described consists in practice of the parts shown and numerous accessory parts not shown for the better driving, conditioning and control thereof. Such apparatus, however, is in its general plan and arrangement well known to paper-makers. and details notl specially pertinent to my invention are in some instances omitted for the sake of simplicity of explanation.
On leaving this system of dryers the now partially dewatered iilm of paper passes oil to the right to a second system of dryers. This second system of dryers is shown in Fig, 1 with its, parts numbered like the parts of the first and abovedescribed system, the felt being numbered 20', the dryer cans 22 and the guiding and take up rolls for the felt 2 I The rolls numbered I8' and I9 indicate an alternative placement of the rolls I8 and I 9 to be hereinafter more particularly noted.
In practice many pairs of the dryer cylinders 22 and 22 may be employed, and in carrying out my invention these and also any preferred type of calendering stack may be utilized or the calendering operation may be omitted.
In Fig. 2 the roll I8 of Fig. 1 is shown in broken longitudinal elevation and the depressions or flutes turned in the wall thereof are indicated as at 23. Certain portions of the roll may be left unfluted and these are suggested at 24.
In Fig. 3 a typical flute shows at 23 in the cross-sectional view of the roll I8.
In Fig. 4 the wet pulp film I3 is shown deformed out of its initially planar form by the action of roll I8 yieldably resisted by the roll I9. It should be noted that in any region such as 25, Where the film is being deformed, it is thinned materially by being stretched and deformed. By contrast unaffected portions of the film, as 26, maintain more clearly their initial thickness.
In Fig. 5 where the deformed wet lm has passed from between the rolls I8 and I9 to the iirst dryer felt 20 and is held by that felt in contact with the drying cylinder 22, said iilm now appears flat at I3. It hasbeen flattened, however, without change of the transverse dimension, i. e., the width of the sheet of paper which it is to constitute. A detail of said sheet of paper is shown as a planar view in Fig. 6 in which, as also in Fig. 5, the deformed and iiattened regions are shown at 23a and the unaffected areas, if any, at 24a.
'I'he alterations oi structure to which the process of this invention subjects the wet pulp lm may more easily be noted from Fig. 7 taken on the line 'I--l of Fig. 6. Here the unaected regions of the iilm appear as at 24a with their component fibres lying more or less flat and horizontally disposed as they were initially deposited from the paper-making stock upon the screen 4 of Fig. l.
Other regions as shown at 23a were also initially deposited on the screen in the same flat formation but, having now been forced out of such 3 formation by the roll I8 and promptly pushed back by the dryer felt 20, iibres so anected have no chance to resume their original position which was more or less in a horizontal plane, but are crowded and crumpled upon themselves. When the sheet is subsequently pulled to place it under tension these crumpled fibres will to a considerable extent yield to such tension without rupture and so give to the illm or sheet someextra stretchability. When so pulled, however, a sheet formed in accord with my invention has been found to retain substantially its normal tensile strength.
In Fig. 8 is shown, in plan, a specimen of paper formed under my invention but with the flutes 23 of the roll I8 of Figs. 2, 3, etc. cut longitudinally of the roll-face. and not circumferentially. In Fig. 8 parts are numbered as in Fig. 6.
Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional representation of the sheet of Fig. 8 cut on the line 9-9 thereof and shows the formation of the sheet as described for, and shown in Fig. '7.
Fig. 10 represents, in plan, a piece of paper formed under my invention but with the roll I8 of Figs. 2, 3, etc. cut with utes running both circumferentially and longitudinally thereof.
Fig. 11 represents paper which has been affected by a iiuted roller I8 of Fig. l, etc. on which the ilutes have been cut in two series of spiral lines, the two series being one at an angle to the other, the angle in this instance being Fig. 12 shows in partial elevation my fiuting roll I8 as cut with appropriate spiral grooves to produce in the paper the effect shown in Fig. ll.
The preferred operation of my new process, having thus been described and illustrated, it remains to be noted that I have placed the rolls I8 and I9 in a position along the general line of the paper making machine where the lm of pulp, broadly speaking, comprises 300 pounds of water and pounds of fibre calculated as airdry bre.
At that stage of wetness I have found that a film of pulp, when passing through themachine on the way to be dried, is in the best condition to endure without gross rupture and without even the occasioning of small pin-hole perforations, the momentary strains that my method puts upon it.
However, if one is applying my invention to a pulp lm constituted of very short or very severely beaten bres, the stated water-content gives to such lm suiilcient momentary weakness of structure to make it incapable of withstanding, Without rupture, the heaviest iiuting that I may wish to impress on it.
In such instances it is desirable to remove the rolls I8 and I9 from contact with the'wet nlm at the point indicated at I8 and I9 in Fig. 1 and not to place them in contact with it until said film has passed part way through the dryer system. Thus in Fig. 1 the rolls I8 and I9 may be considered as placed to the right of the small group of dryer cans 22, 22, where they appear as circles dened by dotted lines the iilm having passed through this initial dryer system being then sent through a second dryer system 20', 2|' and 22' to carry on the drying operation. In such event the fluted illm is nipped between the first dryer can of the 22 sexies, and its associated dryer felt 28' for the purpose of flattening the flutes precisely asis done in the operation described above.
Ordinarily, on leaving the last of the dryer system parts,
a sheet of paper passes through tiallydewatered This comment relates also to so'it papers of low density such as areusually calledielts and assuch known to the roofing.
Y artificial leather and other industries. which have, been to some extent impregnated with a water-dispersion of rubber, such as natural latex or emulsiiled and water-dispersed rubber. Such papers and ielts will endure my process oihut- ,ing and subsequently ilattening them even after the normal paper-making process has been applied to them in toto. In such instances I may apply my invention to such papers or such ielts in an air-dry condition, that is, the condition which they show vunder atmospheric exposure but with enough inherent plasticity to endure my process. In such event my rolls I8 and I9 may be placed after the lastdryer system or indeed to sheets and rolls of paper or felt at any later period.
- It is of the essence of my invention that my iluting and flattening operations shall be applied to the sheet or the felt when it is in s.l condition of such plasticity that it will endure without destruction the successive operations of deforming it into a iiuted condition and then substantially flattening it.
Having thus exempliiled my invention without limitation to the l precise instances narrated above, I claim:
1. The method oi' forming stretchable paper, which consists in fluting a wet paper forming pulp in continuous vparallel zones alternating with untluted parallel zones which separate the fiuted parallel zones and then subjecting the iluted parallel zones to pressure while still wet to causethe fiuted zones to revert essentially to their initial ilat condition. y y
.2. The process ot imparting to paper spaced and uninterrupted zones of stretchability alternating with less stretchable zones which consists in iiuting a wet fibrous paper forming pulp to depress said web only along continuous `iluted zones, and then immediately compressing said depressed areas of the web to force them. back within marginal limits of said originally' iluted areas, thereby restoring the essential planar Iormation of the web, and then drying the web.
3. The method oi producing an essentially flat paper sheet capable of being stretched when stressed, without rupture, which consists in initially impressing upon the wet paper forming pulp systems of spaced and parallel continuous zones of uting alternating with unfluted portions, and then compressing the fiuted zones to force them to resume their initially fiat conformation within the dening limits o! said iluted zones, the areas of the alternating uniiuted portions oi the sheet intermediate said zones remaining substantially unaffected and then drying the sheet.
4. 'I'he method of imparting stretchability to a sheet of paper' which consists in pressing a sheet of paper-forming pulp, containing not less than approximately '10% water by weight, to form iiutings therein and subsequently subjecting the utings to pressure to'cause them to revert substantially to their initial dat condition while said sheet still contains not less than approximately water by weight.
