Freshwater predatory fish, trout and other salmonids
Related to the European pickerel, the yellow walleye can be fished virtually year round, even while ice fishing, and is the number one favourite among sport fishers in Québec. The province's waters also teem with northern pike, which is sometimes called the freshwater shark and has been known to provide many thrilling moments to those who have the good fortune to fish for it.
The large and small mouth bass, whose Algonquin name at-chi-gane means "he who struggles," are found in lakes and rivers with low currents. They are mainly fished for sport and are almost always released back into the water. Several other species inhabit Québec's large water bodies, such the sturgeon and the muskellunge.
You can fish for salmonids other than Atlantic salmon in Québec's lakes and rivers. The ouananiche, or landlocked salmon, is as combative and delicious as its maritime cousin. Favouring clear, cold waters, the brook trout is popular among fishers for its tasty pink flesh. This fish is abundant in Québec, particularly in Mauricie.
Better adapted to a northern climate, the Arctic char is found almost exclusively in Québec's Far North regions and is enjoyed by the Inuit of Ungava and Hudson bays. Rainbow trout, along with brown or sea trout, can reach a very respectable weight and are also a diner's delight. Lake trout, a powerful fighting fish, thrives in cold lakes and in summer heads deep below the surface (50 to 100 m / 165 to 330 ft.) as the temperature climbs.

Thinking With Pigs
Certain animals, as the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss explained in his study of totemism, are good for thinking with (Totemism, 1963). Here are a collection of quotations from individuals, both eminent and obscure, that use pigs in their speech.
In our thoughts and words, pigs are generous figures of speech. They freely lend their intrinsic nature to us for simile and metaphor, hyperbole and idiom. Pigs are also handy to use in personification or in analogy and allegory. And pigs are certainly good for swearing.
The thought of 'pig' in all its attendant meanings is an indispensable element of language in every culture that has encountered the pig. Handy and useful, 'pig' augments the meaning of many concepts — appearance, attitude, behavior, food and even currency.
Throughout the pig's association with man, their use to think and speak with has farrowed ideas and images as fit for a reflective pig as for a man to consider. Many within our swinish multitude have seen fit to utilize the pig in thoughts and words and our world is far richer for it.

JS constructor names make it easier to analyze memory dumps
As they say, "There are two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors". Out of these 2/3 things, naming is the most difficult. We all know that being lazy when naming things will hurt you down the road when you'll need to make sense of the code that you've written half a year ago. However, one more interesting aspect of good naming paying off I didn't previously think about is memory dump analysis.
Let's imagine, you are facing what looks like a memory leak or some strange behavior of the system and memory dump may help you understand what's happening inside the brain of your system in a particular environment. So you dump your heap, Google Chrome does a great job of grouping your object by constructor name, but all you see is this:
JS heap dump example with badly named constructors
Since your service classes where isolated in your modules/files and you default-exported them, it seemed unnecessary to think of fancy names. The path to the file identifies the service so well anyway! Not until you look at a heap dump like this.

In today's world, it is imperative that organizations continuously innovate because their long-term survival is threatened when they do not. Research has shown that two elements are required for an organization to be innovative: an innovative climate and an effective leadership style. Recent studies have begun to explore the relationship between the ethical dimension of leadership and outcomes of an innovative climate, such as promotion of technological innovation and support for innovation.
While there is evidence that ethical leadership may improve innovative climate, the relationship between the two constructs has not been explored. The purpose of this study was to begin the exploration of the possible link between ethical leadership and innovation climate, along with its five dimensions.
Four hundred eighteen participants who work in a variety of industries and occupations participated in the study. Of this number, 359 participants were online panelists of an online research company, and 59 were students and instructors in Bachelor and Masters level courses at three Oregon universities. The former completed the questionnaire over the Internet, and the latter completed hard copy questionnaires in the classroom.
A 5-point Likert score questionnaire was used in the study; it encompassed the ten statements in the Ethical Leadership Scale (ELS) and the 61 statements in the Siegel Scale of Support for Innovation (SSSI). The results showed significant positive correlations between ethical leadership and innovation climate and ethical leadership and each of the five dimensions: continuous development, ownership, normal for diversity, leadership, and consistency.
This study sets the stage for future empirical research regarding the relationship between two important constructs, both of which are required for long-term organizational success. They provide evidence that at least from the employee's perspective, a leader's ethical behaviors have a positive relationship with multiple dimensions of an innovation climate.

optoAlso opti-.
[Greek optos, seen.]
Optometry is the occupation of measuring eyesight, prescribing corrective lenses, and detecting eye disease. The form appears in a few terms relating to the use of light in electronics, especially optoelectronics (or optronics), the branch of technology concerned with the inter-conversion of electronics and light; and optocoupler, a device containing light-emitting and light-sensitive components, used to couple isolated circuits.
Words in opticome from Latin opticus or optica, which derive from the same Greek source. Examples are optic and optical, of or relating to the eye or vision; optics, the scientific study of sight and the behaviour of light; and optician, a person qualified to prescribe and dispense glasses and contact lenses, and to detect eye diseases.

Force-Sensing Linear Potentiometer: 1.4″×0.4″ Strip
This force-sensing linear potentiometer (FSLP) from Interlink Electronics is a passive component with resistances that depend on the magnitude and location of the force applied at some point along the 1.4″ (3.6 cm) active length of the strip, making it easy to add novel touch interfaces or tactile sensors to your project. An external resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ) is required but not included.
This force-sensing linear potentiometer (FSLP) from Interlink Electronics is a passive component with internal resistances that independently change in response to the location and magnitude of an applied force. This allows a microcontroller with an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), such as an Arduino or A-Star, to easily determine where and how hard the strip is being pressed, enabling advanced touch-control user interfaces (like menu navigation) or sophisticated tactile sensors. The FSLP is effectively a force-sensing resistor (FSR) that can also simultaneously sense position. The video above shows a sample project with the similar 4″ FSLP strip being used to control an LED strip: position determines the number of lit LEDs and pressure determines the LED color. This shorter 1.4″ FSLP strip could easily be substituted for the one in the video. The Arduino code used in the example is available on github, and it has functions for reading pressure and position that could be helpful in getting started using this sensor. More information about the demo is available in our FSLP blog post.
The 1.5″ × 0.53″ strip is light (0.5 g) and extremely thin (0.025″), with an active sensing area of 1.4″ × 0.39″ and a flexible 0.55″ × 0.2″ sensor tail for accessing its three terminals (the fourth terminal is not used). It does not appreciably compress when pressure is applied, and while it is flexible, it is intended to be used on smooth, flat surfaces since bending can adversely affect its performance. The FSLP has a masked adhesive backing for easy mounting.
Note: The sensor's tail does not include a connector, and soldering directly to the exposed copper pads is probably not practical for most applications given its relatively fine 1 mm pitch. We do not carry any connectors that work with this sensor, but JST makes a line of compatible 1.0 mm pitch FCC (flat flexible) connectors. Section 4.4 of the FSLP integration guide describes the sensor tail in detail.
For a similar FSLP that includes a solderable connector, see our 4″ FSLP strip. It is possible to cut the 4″ FSLP strip to shorter lengths, such as 1″, which would give it a similar size to this 1.4″ version.
Note that this FSLP is not a load cell or strain gauge, and it is not suitable for precision force or pressure measurements. While it can be used for high-resolution dynamic measurements, only qualitative force readings are generally attainable.
Using the sensor
The FSLP is a three-terminal device (the fourth terminal of the sensor tail is not used), and when pressure is applied, its internal circuit is equivalent to three resistors. Reading the magnitude of the pressure requires an external resistor be added to the circuit, so a total of four microcontroller lines are required, two of which must be capable of reading analog voltages. Detailed information about this FSLP, including theory of operation, dimensions, and measurement procedures, is available in the FSLP integration guide (513k pdf). The rest of this section briefly summarizes some of the key points of the measurement procedures listed in the integration guide.
Measuring pressure
The resistance Rp depends directly on the magnitude of the applied pressure, changing from around 300 kΩ at very light touches to around 1 kΩ when pressing very hard. If the pin connected to D1 is driven high and pin connected to the bottom of resistor Ro is driven low, the SL pin becomes the output of a resistive voltage divider with Rp on top and the external resistor Ro on the bottom. Measuring the voltage at terminal D2 gives the input voltage to this pressure-dependent voltage divider and allows the pressure measurement to be made independent of R1 and R2, which change depending on where the strip is being touched. Once you have measured the voltage divider input (D2 voltage) and output (SL voltage), you have everything you need to compute Rp, which is directly related to the pressure.
The optimal value for Ro depends on the specific application, but a value between 4.7 kΩ and 10 kΩ should work fine for most projects.
Note that when no pressure is applied to the strip, Rp should be many megaohms and the voltage at SL will be pulled almost completely to zero through Ro. You can use this to determine when the strip is not being touched.
Measuring position
The strip also functions as a linear potentiometer, with the applied pressure (e.g. your finger) acting as the wiper. As the point of applied pressure moves from one side of the strip to the other, R1 will get smaller and R2 will get bigger, or vice versa (the sum of R1 and R2 is typically around 10 kΩ). If the pin connected to D1 is driven high and the pin connected to D2 is driven low, the SL pin becomes the output of this linear potentiometer (the pin connected to the bottom of Ro should be set as a high-impedance input to effectively remove Ro from the circuit). The voltage on the SL pin should range from 0 to Vcc (logic low to logic high) as the pressure application point moves from one extreme to the other.
Note that when no pressure is applied to the strip, the SL pin is essentially floating and will provide no meaningful position measurement. As described in the previous section, you can use the pressure reading to determine when the strip is not being touched so that you know when to ignore the position measurement.
This sensor has high-impedance outputs, which can be difficult to accurately measure using a microcontroller's ADC. The full measurement procedures in section 5 of the FSLP integration guide (513k pdf) have some helpful techniques for reducing noise and improving accuracy. FSLP/FSR versions
Interlink refers to this product as their standard FSLP. We also carry their longer 10 cm (4″×0.4″) FSLP, which can be optionally be shortened to lengths of 1″, 2″, or 3″.

If the position of the force is not important for your application, we carry six versions of force-sensing resistors (FSRs) that can be used to measure the amount of applied force but not its location:

Familiarity plays an important role in face processing. The importance of familiarity is increased when facial form cues are degraded, so that a person must rely primarily on movement (dynamic) information to identify someone. It is, however, unclear which dynamic cues are used for face recognition of both familiar and unfamiliar faces. Furthermore, little work has been done on dynamic self-face recognition, and none has focused on the type of movement that facilitates this process. The current study used motion capture cameras to record and isolate facial movements in order to test recognition of self, familiar and unfamiliar faces. Participants completed a 2AFC same/different face-matching task involving point-light displays of natural motion (i.e. both rigid and non-rigid motion), rigid motion only (e.g. nodding/shaking), non-rigid motion only (e.g. mouth/eyebrow motion) and still images to determine whether differences in familiarity resulted in the use of different movement cues. The manner (style) in which someone is speaking may also impact on whether they can be easily identified from dynamic cues. Consequently, speech style was either matched or mismatched between video clips. We found that matching performance was more accurate overall when speech style was matched than mismatched. Familiar face matching appears to use rigid, non-rigid and natural movement cues equally, but unfamiliar and self-face matching are more accurate for rigid than natural motion when speech style differs between clips. These results are discussed in relation to previous research on dynamic face recognition, and possible implications for current face processing models.

If you encounter an Asian walking down a dark alleyway in Virginia, you probably don't have anything to fear. If you bump into an Hispanic in a dark alleyway, you still don't have much to fear. Both racial/ethnic groups are significantly less likely to wind up in Virginia prisons than other groups, according to the Virginia Department of Corrections latest demographic report about the state's 30,000 prison population. Some highlight factoids:
- More than three-fifths of the population is black, nearly two fifths white.
- Asians or native Americans in Virginia prisons account for one-half percent of prison inmates. That compares to a state population of 6.5%.
- For all the overblown fears of illegal immigrants breeding crime, only 2.1% of Virginia's prison population is Hispanic. That compares to 8.2% of the population in the state.
- Roughly 18% of prison inmates are "confirmed gang members."
- More than nine out of ten (92%) inmates are male, raising the question, does our society systematically stigmatize and discriminate against males in our society? (Don't worry, that's not a serious question. Just a tweeker.)

Eat your frozen salmon. Preferably wild, frozen salmon.
A new study out of Portland shows that frozen salmon consume less energy from net to table than do fresh. And farmed salmon "have a heavy hidden demand on fossil fuels," the study's authors said, because the feed can be either forage fish, which would be more efficiently fed directly to people, or corn and soy, which require fuel for growing and harvest.
"We said, 'Eat wild salmon,'" Astrid Scholz, vice president of knowledge systems at Ecotrust and one of the report's authors, told The Oregonian's Abby Haight. "But it made me a little uneasy…. There's something wrong about catching an Alaska salmon, putting it on a helicopter, and then putting it on a jet to Moscow and then to New York so someone can eat their $50 dinner of fresh Copper River salmon."
Ecotrust examined the carbon footprint of catching, harvesting and transporting wild salmon around the world. They found that flash-freezing at sea and shipping later used less energy. Container ships are the most environmentally friendly transportation, the study showed. Most salmon sold around the world, however, are fresh, and never frozen.
For instance, salmon that are flash-frozen at sea can be transported by freighter or train, which uses significantly less fossil fuel than jets. Troll-caught fish burn diesel fuel as ships chase fish across the seas. An Alaska salmon caught by a purse seiner, however, has a low carbon impact, Scholz said.
The study could have broad implications on consumer choices for seafood, Haight writes. For example, the influential group Seafood Watch from the Monterey Bay Aquarium is likely to include production and distribution of seafood in its consumer guides.

(Phys.org) -- Researchers in Britain are confused by the mute swans of Abbotsbury Swannery. They lay four to ten eggs during a laying cycle which lasts generally a couple of days. During that time, they sometimes sit on the eggs laid up to that point, but not long enough to cause the eggs to begin incubation; that doesnt start until all of the eggs have been laid. So why do they bother at all beforehand? It seems like a waste of energy, which birds as a general rule, tend to avoid. Thats what this new research aims to find out. The group have taken a real egg, sawed off one end and fitted it inside with electronics embedded in rubbery silicon.
The electronics consist of an accelerometer to measure movement, a radio signal generator, a thermometer to find out just how much heat the birds are offering to the eggs both before all are laid and after and a chip to do all the conversions. The end product is good enough to fool the swans and thereby give the researchers a way to measure what goes on with the egg, something that could not be done any other way. The egg sends data to a remote computer eight times a second, where the information is analyzed and stored.
The swannery in Abbotsbury has hosted swans, scientists believe, for over a thousand years and is unique in that its the only mute swan colony that is managed by humans. Its also a tourist attraction. Because of that, the swans are used to people and dont grow flustered and leave when they come around. The colony typically supports over 600 swans of which generally just a hundred and fifty are part of mutual pairings. Nesting swans are generally quite territorial leading to nests that are rather far apart. In Abbotsbury, thats not possible, so the birds sometimes lose track of young as they wander into the nests of others nearby. Back in the 1500s the swans were eaten at special events by monks from the Benedictine monastery at St. Peter's.
In addition to figuring out why the birds roost before laying all their eggs, the researchers hope to learn more about the process by which cygnets hatch in general.

Let $(Y,\|\cdot\|)$ a Banach space and $b\colon Y\to \mathbb{R}$ a nonnegative convex function such that, for some $\mathcal{E}>0$, the set $\{y\in Y\,:\, b(y)<\mathcal{E}\}$ is nonempty and bounded.
I need prove that exist $z\in Y$, $c>0$ and $C>0$ such that $b(y)-b(z)\geq c\|y-z\|$ for $y\in Y\backslash B_C(z)$.
Note: $B_C(z):=\{y\in Y\,:\, \|y-z\|\leq C\}$.

Let $\epsilon_0$ be the fixed positive constant such that $F_0 := \{ y \mid b(y) < \epsilon_0\}$ is nonempty and bounded. Fix $z\in F_0$. Then we have that if $y \in Y \setminus F_0$, $b(y) - b(z) \geq \epsilon_0 - b(z) =: \delta_0 > 0$.
By assumption $F_0$ is bounded, hence there exists $C > 0$ such that $B_C(z) \supset F_0$. (Here I take $B_C(z)$ to be the open ball; a simple modification of the following argument also allows for closed balls.)
Let $c = \frac{\delta_0}{2C}$. Now we verify this choice of $C$ and $c$ is good.
Given $y \in Y\setminus B_C(z)$, let $\tilde{y} = \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (y-z) + z$. By convexity of the function $b$ we have that
$$ \frac{C}{\|y-z\|} (b(y) - b(z)) + b(z) \geq b(\tilde{y}) \geq b(z) + \delta_0 $$
Hence we have that
$$ b(y) - b(z) \geq \frac{\delta_0}{C} \|y-z\| > \frac{\delta_0}{2C} \|y-z\| = c \| y - z\| $$
as claimed.

Let $M$ be a geometrically finite hyperbolic surface with one cuspidal end and one funnel end so that it can be divided into $C \cup K \cup F$ where $C$ is the cusp, $F$ the funnel and $K$ the compact core.
Focus on the cusp with the following boundary defining function (due to David Borthwick: Spectral Theory of Infinite-Area Hyperbolic Surfaces)
Let $\rho (x)=e^{-r}$ where $r$ is the distance of $x$ to the compact core $K$. As a boundary defining function it needs to have a non-vanishing differential on the boundary. How can this fact be seen for this function?
If I take the look back to the upper half plane the hyperbolic distance for distinct points $a$ and $b$ located on the y-axis is given by $log(a/b)$. I suppose that's the reason for choosing $e^{-r}$. If you take a point $c$ at the boundary its distance to the compact core is infinite, so $e^{-r(c)}$ is zero, clearly. But what's with the differential? Is there a direct way of calculating it in this case with the given information? I don't understand why is it not zero at the boundary.
In a discussion with others there was the idea to show it by relating the the boundary defining function for the cusp to a (maybe given) boundary defining function for a funnel end by 'inverting', precisely:
Here $M = (0, \infty) \times S^1$ with the metric $g=(dx^2+d\theta^2)/x^2$ where the variable $x$ refers to $(0,\infty)$ and $x$ itself is a boundary defining for the funnel end. If $x$ is bdf for the funnel, is it true that then 1/x is a boundary defining function for the cusp?
My problem is the absence of a diffeomorphism from the cusp (as a point) to the funnel (which is a circle). Can this be repaired by viewing the cusp as a 'infinitely' small circle? The strategy I have in mind is: If there would be a diffeomorphism between the ends and given a boundary defining function for the funnel then the pullback of it has non-vanishing differential.
Since this is my first question on MO, I hope my explanations were precise enough and the questions aren't too basic.
Thank you for your help, Robin Neumann

We examine the rotational dynamics associated with bounded chaotic flows, such as those on chaotic attractors, and find that the dynamics typically exhibits on-off intermittency. In particular, a properly defined chaotic rotation tends to follow, approximately, the phase-space rotation of a harmonic oscillator with occasional bursts away from this nearly uniform rotation. The intermittent behavior is identified in several well studied chaotic systems, and an argument is provided for the generality of this behavior.

This crater features sand dunes and sand sheets on its floor. What are sand sheets? Snow fall on Earth is a good example of sand sheets: when it snows, the ground gets blanketed with up to a few meters of snow. The snow mantles the ground and "mimics" the underlying topography. Sand sheets likewise mantle the ground as a relatively thin deposit.
This kind of environment has been monitored by HiRISE since 2007 to look for movement in the ripples covering the dunes and sheets. This is how scientists who study wind-blown sand can track the amount of sand moving through the area and possibly where the sand came from. Using the present environment is crucial to understanding the past: sand dunes, sheets, and ripples sometimes become preserved as sandstone and contain clues as to how they were deposited.

Choose the type of calendar that you want to create by clicking on it. There are also a number of calendar templates which have already been designed. These make it easy to design a calendar easily without needing to understand everything right away.
Step 3: Import Images
If you plan on using images on your calendar design, then you will need to import them. This is easy and is done by clicking on the import button. Browse through your computer to select the photos or images that you want to add and then position them on your screen by dragging them. Resizing is also easy and is simply a matter of clicking one of the handles and dragging to re-size it.
Once you have chosen the images, you can then get to work on the text. The month names will already be on the calendar, but it's possible to add extra text to advertise your business.
Step 4: Repeat
If you are creating a calendar with a separate page for each month, then you will need to repeat the process for each separate month.
Step 5: Print the Calendar
When you are happy with the design of your calendar, you can then get to work printing it. The best paper for this is a high quality thick mate or gloss paper. This will ensure that the paper does not get saturated with ink. Load the paper into your printer and then follow the instructions to print the calendar. Select the print button and then click through all of the instructions to print the calendar.
Then, all you need to do is fix all of the pages together by either stapling or gluing them in place. Then the calendar can be hung on a wall or put on a desk so that you can remember all of the important dates and times.

Application tips for hard part turning
In addition to the general recommendations for turning, there are some key factors to consider for hard part turning (if production process includes own preparation of component before hardening):
- Avoid burrs
- Maintain close dimensional tolerances,
- Chamfer and produce radii in the soft stage
- Do not enter or leave cuts abruptly
- Enter or leave by rolling into or out of the cut
Surface measurementsX-axis: Feature lengthY-axis: Diameter deviation
- Good machine stability, clamping and alignment of workpiece are crucial
- As a guideline, a workpiece length-to-diameter ratio of up to 2:1 is normally acceptable for workpieces that are only supported on one end. If there is additional tailstock support, this ratio can be extended
- Note that a thermally symmetrical headstock and tailstock design will add extra dimensional stability
- Use the Coromant Capto® system
- Minimize all overhangs to maximize system rigidity
- Consider carbide shank boring bars and Silent Tools for internal turning
Insert micro geometry
Two typical edge preparations for CBN inserts are S-type and T-type.
- S-type: Has the best edge line strength. Resistant against micro chipping and ensures consistent surface quality.
- T-type: For best surface finishes in continuous cuts, and minimized burr formation in interrupted cuts. Lower cutting forces.
S-typeChamfer with light honing
T-typeChamfer with no honing
Insert corner geometry
- If conditions are stable, always use wiper geometry for best surface finish.
- Use insert with low entering angle approach when productivity demands are high.
- A normal radius insert should be used only when stability is poor (slender workpiece etc.).
Wet or dry machining
Hard part turning without coolant is the ideal situation, and is entirely feasible. Both CBN and ceramic inserts tolerate high cutting temperatures, which eliminate the costs and difficulties associated with coolants.
Some applications may require coolant, for example, to control the thermal stability of the workpiece. In such cases, ensure a continuous flow of coolant throughout the entire turning operation.
Generally, the heat generated when machining is distributed into the chip (80%), workpiece (10%) and insert (10%). This shows the importance to evacuate the chips from the cutting edge zone.
Cutting data and wear
High heat in the cutting edge zone reduces the cutting forces. Therefore a cutting speed that is too low generates less heat and can cause insert breakage.
Crater wear gradually affects the insert strength, but does not affect the surface finish as much. In contrast, flank wear gradually affects the dimensional tolerance.
Share of tool life determining wear
*) Flank wear **) Crater wear
Insert change criteria
Predetermined surface finish (B) is a frequent and practical insert change criterion. Surface finish is automatically measured in a separate station and a value is given to a specified finish quality.
For an optimized and a more stable process, set a predetermined number of components (A) as an insert change criteria. This value should be 10–20% less than the predetermined surface finish, the exact figure is determined on a case-to-case basis.
A: Predetermined number of componentsB: Predetermined surface finishX-axis: Number of componentY-axis: Surface finishBlue line: Insert wearRed line: Maximum
A one-cut "metal removal" strategy is feasible for both external and internal operations. A stable set-up is important and the tool overhang should not exceed the bar diameter in internal turning (1×D). For good machining, we recommend chamfered, lightly-honed inserts and moderate speed and feed.
- Quickest possible machining time
- One tool position
- Difficulties in meeting stringent dimensional tolerances
- Shorter tool life (than two-cut)
- Tolerance deviations due to relatively rapid wear
A two-cut strategy allows unattended machining of high-quality finished surfaces. We recommend roughing inserts with a 1.2 mm (0.047 inch) radius, and the finishing inserts with a chamfer only. Both inserts should have wiper geometry.
- Tooling optimized for roughing and finishing
- Higher security, closer tolerances and potentially longer runs between tool changes
- Two inserts are needed
- Two tool positions
- One extra tool change

How people resolve dilemmas: An elicitation method for subjective decision factors
In human society, people encounter various deontic conflicts every day. Deontic decisions are those that include moral, ethical, and normative aspects. Here, the concern is with deontic conflicts: decisions where all the alternatives lead to the violation of some norms. People think critically about these kinds of decisions. But, just 'what' they think about is not always clear. ^ People use certain estimating factors/criteria to balance the tradeoffs when they encounter deontic conflicts. It is unclear what subjective factors people use to make a deontic decision. An elicitation approach called the Open Factor Conjoint System is proposed, which applies an online elicitation methodology which is a combination of two well-know research methodologies: repertory grid and conjoint analysis. This new methodology is extended to be a web based application. It seeks to elicit additional relevant (subjective) factors from people, which affect deontic decisions. The relative importance and utility values are used for the development of a decision model to predict people's decisions. ^ Fundamentally, this methodology was developed and intended to be applicable for a wide range of elicitation applications with minimal experimenter bias. Comparing with the traditional method, this online survey method reduces the limitation of time and space in data collection and this methodology can be applied in many fields. Two possible applications were addressed: robotic vehicles and the choice of medical treatment. In addition, this method can be applied to many research related disciplines in cross-cultural research due to its online ability with global capacity. ^

Partial Exemption methods: the special method document
Form of a method
A special method details how a business is to determine its recoverable input tax and it will be in the form of a written document. It is a series of steps, which taken together, and in the prescribed order, produce a value for the amount of input tax which a business may deduct.
However, in Barclays Bank PLC [VTD 5616] the Tribunal quoted an Inland Revenue case: Cape Brandy Syndicate v Inland Revenue where the judge said:
"…in a taxing Act one has to look merely at what is clearly said. Nothing is to be read in nothing is to be implied. One can only look fairly at the language used…"
Both businesses and HMRC therefore have the right to rely upon the wording in the method document. However, after a method is approved, if it transpires that a business has deliberately withheld relevant information, then they may not be able to rely on that method, since it was approved on the basis of the agreed facts at the time of approval.
For any methods approved from 01 April 2007, which will require a declaration (see PE43000 - The Declaration), HMRC will be able to serve a SMON if it can be shown that a business has deliberately withheld information.
In order for there to be a final proposal (which HMRC then approves), there must first be agreement between the parties on the detail of that proposal, and this often involves changes on both sides. It is important to emphasise that the wording of the method must reflect what has actually been proposed by the business and approved.
In many cases, if there is any ambiguity in the wording of a special method approval letter, it will be decided in favour of the business, rather than HMRC. This is because the Department is expected by the courts to have the expertise to ensure that the wording of a special method approval letter is correct.
Special method letter requirements
All letters will be different since all circumstances will be different. However there are some areas that should always be included. These are:
- the business's name and VAT number;
- requirement that any changes in business (or VAT group membership) should be notified in writing;
- the business's tax year;
- the provision for direct attribution;
- the method of allocation to sectors (if applicable), including a provision for direct allocation of residual input tax where it is only used by one sector;
- the method of apportionment of residual input tax;
- how many decimal places calculations should be rounded to;
- provisions to exclude any distorting factors, other than those already set out in Regulation 101(3); and
- the requirement to carry out an annual adjustment.
Avoid including anything in a letter that is unnecessary because it is covered in the Regulations. For example, do not include the de minimis rules in the letter. If you do, the law may change but not affect your business, since he has to abide by those set out in his special method letter.
Any special method must include provision for the direct attribution of input tax. Any input tax on goods or services that wholly relates to taxable supplies is reclaimable in full, and any that wholly relates to exempt supplies is not reclaimable. This direct attribution must form a part of any special method. Any input tax that is incorrectly treated as residual when it could be directly attributed may produce an unfair result.
Calculation of the recoverable amount
UK and EC law requires a business to determine the amount of input tax that is recoverable; and not to assume that all is recoverable except for any input tax they can identify that is irrecoverable.
If a business's method of apportionment is a transaction count and it makes 100 transactions in a period, 70 of which are taxable, 30 that are exempt, the calculation must produce a result of 70% recoverable, not a result of 30% irrecoverable. Accordingly, the numerator (top part of the fraction) should always be in respect of taxable supplies.
As well as being incorrect in law, treating everything as recoverable and identifying input tax to disallow is likely to lead to over recovery. Although the reverse is also true, the business is in a much better position than HMRC to react if the method is not producing a fair and reasonable result.
Special methods should not allow rounding up to the next whole number in the recovery percentage. Until the 2005 Budget, HMRC allowed special methods based on output values and using a single calculation to be rounded-up to the next whole number. However, for all new special methods approved or directed on or after 1 April 2005 we will only allow rounding to two or more decimal places. This policy will also apply to existing special methods as and when they are reviewed or updated.
Incidental and distortive supplies
When considering the acceptability, or otherwise, of a special method, you will need to be alert for elements that could distort the apportionment calculation. This distortion may be in favour of either HMRC or the business, but either way it will prevent a fair and reasonable apportionment of non-attributable input tax. The most common distortive supplies are those that are excluded from the standard method under Regulation 101(3). These include capital goods used in the business, some incidental supplies relating to land and finance and self-supplies. Such supplies are also excluded from special methods by virtue of Regulation 102(2). Further detail on what is meant by 'incidental' is included in PE32000.
A business may make supplies that are distortive, in that including them causes an otherwise appropriate method not to reflect use, but this does not automatically mean that they are incidental. They may be a fundamental part of the business's activities and/or use significant amounts of residual input tax bearing costs. Excluding them completely might therefore cause a method not to reflect use.
Methods that are not based on output values may also be affected by distortions. A transaction based method for a financial advisor receiving exempt commissions and giving taxable advice will almost certainly be distorted by the inclusion of the sales to staff from the sweet trolley! Whatever the basis of the apportionment calculation, elements that could distort it should be excluded and the approval letter should specifically address this.
Distortive elements should normally be excluded from a special method. However, where distortive supplies also use significant amounts of residual input tax it may be necessary to find an alternative method of dealing with them. For example, an output values based method might specify that any supply exceeding £10,000 should be treated as though it were £10,000 or that some supplies are treated as though they were a percentage of their actual value.

This article traces the history of modern wood engraving, including the argument in the art world that took place regarding whether wood engraving could be considered "art" in the first place. As the art form gained popularity with print publishers due to its convenience and beauty, internal debates took place about which direction the art form should take, especially within the "New School" of wood engraving that had emerged. Research for the article was aided by Syracuse University's Special Collections.

Though John Deere designated its new-for-1937 workhorse the Model G, a more obvious name choice might have been Model P--as in, the first letter of the word uttered most by farmers with work to do... power.
Deere designed the G to be a three-plow tractor with 34 horsepower at the belt. Power came from a 412.5-cubic-inch, two-cylinder, all-fuel engine that ran on kerosene and distillates. Famously, the Model G's engine was so much larger than the powerplants offered in the rest of the company's lineup, that the tractor's frame had to be customized with the addition of a bulge to accommodate its girth.
Another widely known fact about the G is that its bigger, more powerful two-cylinder proved to be too much for the tractor's radiator to keep cool--a problem that led to more than 2,000 of the first tractors off the assembly line being recalled.
Later versions used a taller radiator, with a coolant capacity some two gallons larger than the original, to alleviate the problem. A larger upper radiator pipe was also installed on Model Gs in late 1938.
In the early 1940s, the Model G received the stylized hood and front-end treatment pictured on the tractor here. In 1941, a six-speed transmission replaced the earlier tractor's four-speed gearbox, and electric start was added in 1947.
With modest changes, the Model G plowed on until 1953, when the numbered series Deere tractors took over. All told, Moline built about 64,000 Model Gs and G variants, like the GH high-crop tractor and the GM--which was what Deere called the tractor briefly during WW II.
As with virtually all John Deere tractors, Model Gs are highly sought after and collectible today. The parts availability is excellent, and support from clubs and enthusiasts is typically strong. Due perhaps to their relative scarcity, the early low-radiator tractors are prized more highly among collectors than the more efficient high-radiator tractors.
Prices for Model Gs in excellent condition can range from $7,000 - $10,000, and hopeful collectors can expect to pay upwards of $4,000 for restorable units.

Cartographic Representations in ArcGIS Engine
A customer will use PLTS Nautical to collect/manage data and to create/manage a number of charts. They want to create applications using ArcGIS Engine to view the MXDs that they will be creating. As I understand it, PLTS Nautical makes extensive use of cartographic representations. I know these can be viewed in standard ArcMap (no PLTS installed). I'm wondering if these MXDs can view displayed and used in ArcGIS Engine applications.
Mapping Center Answer:
ArcGIS Engine supports cartographic representations through the Carto reference library. The interfaces that manage representations in ArcGIS Engine can be found under the following directories:
- IRepresentationLegendClass: Provides access to the properties and methods of a RepresentationLegendClass

Thought of the day - strong will power
Where there is a will there is a way
A man of strong will power is sure to succeed in life. To a man of will power nothing is impossible. Life is not a bed of roses. It is full of difficulties. At every step, we have to face dangers. If we have no strong determination, we may lose hope in life. Failure in life is largely because of a lack of strong mental make-up. Weak-minded persons lose all spirit when they fail. A strong-minded man never broods on defeat. He throws himself heart and soul into further efforts and achieves almost the impossible.
Usain Bolt motivational quote
Strong will power and determination
Strong will power and determination is the key of success. The history of Thomas Alva Edison (Thomas Edison's teachers said he was "too stupid to learn anything." He was fired from his first two jobs for being "non-productive." As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb) is an example. He tried and tried. At last, he succeeded. So, we can surely do something in life if we have a sincere desire and firm will to act.
This short motivational speech can change your life.

Make your knitting wider by adding stitches. You can create an additional stitch on the loom at side edges, or inside the row.
1. Take the previous stitch from the first peg on the back board to the adjacent empty peg.
2. Then take the previous stitch from the front board and move to the adjacent empty peg. You have increased your knitting by one stitch.
To increase the knitting at additional points of the knitted piece, you will move the stitches out to either or both sides, creating empty pins where the increase will occur. Once you have moved all the loops to expose the empty pins, create the new stitch by picking up the previous row stitch from an adjacent stitch and place on the empty pin. Be sure that you have enough empty pins on your knitting board to accommodate the increase of stitches before starting the project.
Note: If desired, you can increase in one row from both ends of the boards, thus increasing the knitting by 2 stitches

the process by which mechanical components can be modeled and reproduced by measuring their mechanical and performance characteristics and completely and accurately sampling and measuring their physical dimension and shape properties
The process of measuring an existing part to create a geometric CAD data definition of the part. In common non-technical usage, reverse engineering may also refer to measuring or analyzing a part or a product for the purpose of copying it.
The scientific method of taking something apart to figure out how it works.
The process of analyzing a software program in an effort to create a representation of the program at a higher level of abstraction than source code. Also called design recovery, the process can consist of data extraction, architectural specification, control flow and data flow understanding. [PRE92
the process of measuring and then creating a CAD model of an object that reflects how the object would be designed originally (design intent).
The process by which a player can deconstruct any equippable item into its component parts. As the player now knows how the item is constructed (also called a recipe), the player can then attempt to craft it (as well as modify it with an Enhancement). There is a possibility, based on the RE skill level and the complexity of the item it, to destroy it completely if the attempt fails.
Reverse engineering is broadly defined to cover the process of studying a competitor's product to gain information; e.g. the ingredients, how problems are overcome, or features related to its appearance. It is prima facie legal but can be hazardous if an attempt to obtain commercial advantage from such a process is made.
Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device or object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation. It often involves taking something (e.g. a mechanical device, an electronic component, a software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail, usually to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original. The verb form is to reverse engineer.

Two worn Civil War flags set to be saved
National News from AP
World News from AP
Cliff Eckle, a curator at the Ohio Historical Society, prepares two Civil War flags to be restored as a result of donated funds. The top flag is an 1863 flank marker for the 5th U.S. Colored Infantry; the other is the regimental colors of the 4th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry.
Two more flags that flew as Ohioans fought and died during the Civil War are being repaired and restored to their former glory thanks to private donations.
Although flags from the 5th U.S. Colored Infantry and the 4th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry will be saved, hundreds of others are falling to pieces at the Ohio Historical Society because of lack of funds to preserve them. Nearly 150 years later, the smell of gunpowder still clings to some.
The small "flank" flag from the 5th U.S. Colored Infantry, the first black troops to be organized in Ohio, and the regimental colors of the 4th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry, a unit from Cincinnati that participated in many major battles, were carefully packed away Monday at a Historical Society warehouse.
They will make a short trip to Textile Preservation Associates of Ransom, W.Va. There they will undergo a delicate restoration process: They will be bathed in distilled water, dried and encapsulated between layers of a see-through fabric. The edges will be carefully sewn closed, and the flags then will be ready for mounting and display.
Preserving a historical pennant is not cheap: $11,496 for these two small flags, from donations from the Gordon Chandler Memorial Fund of the Columbus Foundation and Ohio Society Children of the American Revolution. The price tag for a full-size flag can be $20,000 or more.
This effort will bring the total number of flags preserved to 19, but more than 500 remain - most from the Civil War. Some are too far gone to save.
Officials at the Historical Society said restoring flags is important because they are "an integral part of Ohio and American history" that came to "represent family, home and community" because soldiers were often recruited from the same geographic area.
Flags were displayed in the Statehouse Rotunda until the mid-1960s when officials recognized that they were deteriorating. They were moved to the Historical Society and eventually removed from display.

10 times as many prostate cancers in 2021?
MANAGED CARE May 2011. ©MediMedia USA
Canadian researchers say there could be as many as 267,329 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed each year by 2021. That would be 10 times as many as in 2009 (25,355 cases).
Researchers in the department of radiation oncology at the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Center at the University of Toronto calculated prostate cancer cases using best-, most likely-, and worst-case scenarios.
"The trends we're anticipating in Canada are going to be very similar to the United States," says Andrew Loblaw, MD, lead author. He's a staff radiation oncologist and clinician scientist at the center.
"For clinical executives, this would mean about 650,000 men diagnosed in the United States. So there's going to be the need for increased capacity to diagnose these men. You're going to need better quality in active surveillance. You're going to have to increase your treatment capacity — both surgery and radiation. And lastly, it's about cost. Both countries are struggling to effectively manage those health care dollars," he says.
The four factors likely to affect the incidence of prostate cancer are an increase in the aging population, increased prevalence of PSA screening, lowered PSA cutoff to recommend biopsy, and improved sensitivity to prostate biopsy. Of the four factors, the aging population and the possible lowering of the PSA threshold before biopsy are expected to be the major influencers in new cases.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention makes no such predictions. Jun Li, MD, PhD, MPH, an epidemiologist at the CDC, says the latest data available for prostate cancer incidence are from 2006. The agency reports that the incidence of prostate cancer has decreased significantly, by 2.4 percent per year from 2000 to 2006.
With better screening, physicians are better equipped at finding prostate cancer earlier, and plotting an effective treatment plan. Loblaw points out that the "men who died this year from prostate cancer were diagnosed 17 years ago. And those men who are diagnosed today are going to have markedly different treatments, so these men will have different mortality rates 17 years from now."

Cursor stability
In the absence of locking, no guarantees are made about the stability of cursors in different threads of control. However, the Btree, Queue and Recno access methods guarantee that cursor operations, interspersed with any other operation in the same thread of control will always return keys in order and will return each non-deleted key/data pair exactly once. Because the Hash access method uses a dynamic hashing algorithm, it cannot guarantee any form of stability in the presence of inserts and deletes unless transactional locking is performed.
If locking was specified when the Berkeley DB environment was opened, but transactions are not in effect, the access methods provide repeatable reads with respect to the cursor. That is, a DB_CURRENT call on the cursor is guaranteed to return the same record as was returned on the last call to the cursor.
In the presence of transactions, the Btree, Hash and Recno access methods provide degree 3 isolation (serializable transactions). The Queue access method provides degree 3 isolation with the exception that it permits phantom records to appear between calls. That is, deleted records are not locked, therefore another transaction may replace a deleted record between two calls to retrieve it. The record would not appear in the first call but would be seen by the second call. For readers not enclosed in transactions, all access method calls provide degree 2 isolation, that is, reads are not repeatable. A transaction may be declared to run with degree 2 isolation by specifying the DB_READ_COMMITTED flag. Finally, Berkeley DB provides degree 1 isolation when the DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED flag is specified; that is, reads may see data modified in transactions which have not yet committed.
For all access methods, a cursor scan of the database performed within the context of a transaction is guaranteed to return each key/data pair once and only once, except in the following case. If, while performing a cursor scan using the Hash access method, the transaction performing the scan inserts a new pair into the database, it is possible that duplicate key/data pairs will be returned.


Some of my data's features have large values, while other features have much smaller values.
Is it necessary to center+scale data before applying t-SNE to prevent bias towards the larger values?
I use Python's sklearn.manifold.TSNE implementation with the default euclidean distance metric.
Centering shouldn't matter since the algorithm only operates on distances between points, however rescaling is necessary if you want the different dimensions to be treated with equal importance, since the 2-norm will be more heavily influenced by dimensions with large variance.

Pick up that little section of lead pipe; feel it in your hand. It's heavier than you might've thought, maybe? It's dense, in other words, right? Right.
Now, pick up that chunk of pumice, about the same size. What do you call that, in comparison to the pipe? Light? True, it is lighter than the pipe, but it could be just as heavy, if only it were bigger. Airy? Maybe, but even in a vacuum it would feel like it had the same weight, most likely. Sparse? No: It's not a forest in your hand, after all.
The question is, when we're talking about material objects, what's the opposite of dense?
The answer, at the moment, is less dense, unsatisfactory because of our habit of using paired descriptions for physical properties (heavy/light, soft/hard, wet/dry, and so on). Once upon a time, though, dense had an opposite. Until the mid-19th century, the word was rare.
In fact, the earliest meaning of rare in English was precisely this one. The OED notes the word's meaning as "[o]pposed to dense," and provides the following example (from around 1420), among others:
The londis fatte, or lene, or thicke, or rare.
I don't know what a londis is, and I'm intrigued by thicke as a stand-in for dense (as in a thicket, perhaps). But mostly, I'm thrilled to find rare used in this way.
One can imagine how, in the less dense Britain of the 15th century, a word like rare could move from describing a single object (as in, for example, "this rare piece of pumice") to describing a collective object ("this rare forest") to describing the likelihood of encountering individual objects while wandering through the realm ("the rare African swallow").
Still, I propose we resuscitate rare's original meaning. I've looked for such a word many times, and so have others. To inspire you, I close with more examples from the OED:
Cvcumber in this mone is sowen rare. [C. 1420]
The Assemblie was so rare that they were not exceeding the number of nineteen Commissioners.
A projectile would travel a far greater distance through a rare medium like air, than through a dense medium like water.
Who wouldn't want a word that can as readily describe cvcumbers as Commissioners, projectiles as londises? The chance to improve our language by looking to antiquated usage is (forgive me) a rare one.

. The 10th Cavalry Regiment was formed at Fort Leavenworth under the command of Col. Benjamin H. Grierson. Today, a monument stands at Fort Leavenworth in tribute to the "Buffalo Soldier" of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments.
The fort's first Catholic church was built in 1871 and was later replaced by St. Ignatius Chapel in 1889. St. Ignatius Chapel was destroyed by fire in December 2001. The first Protestant chapel, Memorial Chapel, was built by prison labor in 1878 of stone quarried on post. The round window behind the chapel's front altar was intentionally installed slightly askew by an inmate who was angry at his work boss. This chapel has brass cannon embedded in the walls at the sides of the church, and photos of many of the officers involved in the early history of the fort, including some of the Custer family.
The Western Branch National Military Home ("old soldiers' home"), now called the Veterans Medical Center, or Dwight D. Eisenhower Medical Center Historic District was established in 1885 as part of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers system. The soldier home is closely associated with the nearby cemetery that became the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery in 1973.
World War I was the first opportunity to evaluate the impact of Sherman's school. Graduates excelled in planning complex American Expeditionary Forces operations. By the end of the war, they dominated staffs throughout the AEF.
In the years between the world wars, graduates included such officers as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Omar N. Bradley and George S. Patton. During World War II, some 19,000 officers completed various courses at Fort Leavenworth. By the end of 1943, commanders and staffs of 26 infantry, airborne and cavalry divisions had trained as teams at the school.
General Michael Joe Costello of the army of the newly formed Irish Free State attended Fort Leavenworth from 1926 to 1927, passing with such distinction that he was recommended for the United States Army War College.
In 1946, the school was given its current name. In 1959, the college moved to the newly built J. Franklin Bell Hall on Arsenal Hill. In 1985, the Harold K. Johnson wing was added to house the Combined Arms and Services Staff School (CAS3). Classes for the School of Advanced Military Studies and the School for Command Preparation, as well as the Combined Arms Research Library, are located in Eisenhower Hall which was dedicated in 1994.
Until the early 1970s, a battery of four Nike-Hercules Missiles were deployed at Bell Point on a hill on the west side of the fort.
The base is served by the Sherman Army Airfield which has a 5,905-foot (1,800 m) runway and operates under a joint agreement with the city of Leavenworth, Kansas that permits civilian aircraft to use it all hours. The airfield was inundated by the Missouri River in levee breaches during the Great Flood of 1951, the Great Flood of 1993, and the Great Flood of 2011.
Freedom's Frontier Heritage Area
Fort Leavenworth is considered one of the most significant historic military installations in the Department of the Army, as well as to the nation. The fort's 5,634 ac (2,279 ha) contain a 213 ac (86.1 ha) National Historic Landmark District (NHLD), which was established in 1974.
A number of historic preservation investigations have been conducted over the past few decades at Fort Leavenworth. In 1970, for example, two historic sites were listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP): the Main Parade Ground and the Santa Fe Trail Ruts.
During 2006, this historic military site became part of a new Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area.

ARM Technical Support Knowledge Articles
How is the ARM7TDMI core tested?
Applies to: ARM7TDMI
For the ARM7TDMI, there are essentially 3 different approaches to testing:
 1. Conventional parallel test:
 ARM supplies 10 sets of parallel test vectors, 27k vectors for ARM7TDMI, to test the functionality of the entire core. This test method requires access to all of the I/O signals of the cores, which sometimes might not be possible or feasible for an ARM core embedded in an ASIC.
 2. Using serialised test vectors:
 ARM provides'serialised' test vectors for the ARM7TDMI core to test it through the JTAG port. For ARM7TDMI, this increases the number of vectors to over 900k. The advantage here is that only the 5 JTAG signals need to be accessible to the tester.
 The TAP controller in the ARM processor core is a standard IEEE1149.1 compliant implementation. However, the scan cells used in the ARM7 core are not fully compliant, because they do not have an 'update' stage.
 3. Using AMBA:
 This technique uses ARM's standard on chip bus specifications, AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture). If the users ASIC design implements AMBA, a 32 bit bus architecture, then it is possible to apply the AMBA test methodology to the core. The parallel test vectors have been partitioned into 32 bit words which can be applied to the core through the 32 bit test interface of the ASIC if the AMBA test methodology has been adopted.
 The production test patterns for the ARM7TDMI have been converted into AMBA "TIC" (Test Interface Control) patterns which present about 100k test vectors, with generally only 3 extra pins required.
 For ASIC designs using AMBA, this is the recommend approach.
Comparison of production vectors
Here is a vector count comparison between AMBA (TIC), Parallel, and Serialised (access through JTAG) production test vectors:
TestTICParallelSerialised (JTAG)
Tdebug *18025352765716
Tice *651501300355183
* The Debug and ICE test have a high proportion of pre-serialised sections.

The Gloucester and Sharpness Canal or Gloucester and Berkeley Canal is a canal in the south west of England, between Gloucester and Sharpness; for much of its length it runs close to the tidal River Severn, but cuts off a significant loop in the river, at a once-dangerous bend near Arlingham.
It was once the broadest and deepest canal in the world. Conceived in the 'canal mania' period of the late 18th century, the 'Gloucester and Berkeley Ship Canal' scheme (as it was originally named) was started by architect and civil engineer Robert Mylne. In 1793 an act of parliament was obtained authorising the raising of a total of £200,000.
The project rapidly encountered financial difficulties - to such an extent that Mylne left the project in 1798. By half way through 1799 costs had reached £112,000 but only 5½ miles of the canal had been completed.
Robert Mylne's role was taken over by James Dadford who had originally been engaged as resident engineer on the project in 1795. Lack of funds resulted in the company ceasing to employ Dadford in 1800.
Between 1800 and 1810 various attempts were made to raise money to allow further building but they came to nothing. Moneys from tolls and rents allowed for some improvements to be made to the basin at Gloucester in 1813.
From 1817 onwards the Poor Employment Act meant it was possible for the company to loan money from the Exchequer Bill Loan Commission. This along with further share issues provided enough money to bring the scheme to completion.
After these significant delays, the canal opened in April 1827.
In the course of its construction the canal had cost £440,000
As opened the canal was 86½ feet wide 18 feet deep and could take craft of up to 600 tons. The longer of the two locks onto the canal proper was 115 feet long.
By the middle of the 19th century it proved possible to pay a small dividend; the dept to the Exchequer Bill Loan Commission having being repayed with the help of a loan of £60,000 from the Pelican Life Assurance Company. In 1871 the last of the debts incurred in the course of funding the canal includeing the Pelican Life Assurance Company loan were paid off.
In 1905 traffic exceeded 1 million tons for the first time.
The canal was nationalized in 1948. At the same time the Sharpness Dock Police which had policed the dock since 1874 were absorbed into the British transport police.
In 1955 the board of survey of canals and inland waterways released a report that among other things described the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal as carrying substantial traffic and offering scope for commercial development.
In 1909, following a collapse in the bank of the river, the Canal Companies chief engineer Mr A. J. Cullis called for old vessels to be run aground along the bank of the Severn, near Purton, to create a makeshift tidal erosion barrier to reinforce the narrow strip of land between the river and canal. Barges, trows and schooners were "hulked" at high tide, and have since filled with silt. More boats have been added, including the schooner "Katherine Ellen" which was impounded in 1921 for running guns to the IRA, the Kennet Canal barge "Harriett", and Ferrous Concrete Barges built in World War II.
In 2010 British Waterways took control of the site in an attempt to protect it.
Today the canal can be used by boats up to 64m in length, 9.6m in beam and 32m in height. The maximum draft is 3.5 m.
By the mid 1980s commercial traffic had largely come to a halt with the canal being given over to pleasure cruisers with the exception of a few passages by grain barges. The oil trade ceased in 1985 with the closure of the petroleum deport at Quedgeley.
In order to allow the A40 south-west bypass to be built the canal had to be diverted. The new section of channel was opened on 6 May 2006.
In January 2009 a project began to replace the Patch Bridge swing bridge with a motor powered design instead of the current hand cranked system. The canal links directly to the Stroudwater Navigation at Saul junction.
