Integrated Log-core Calibrated Approach for Petrophysical and Geomechanical Characterization of Source-rocks
A. Di Matteo, D. Bonijoly, M. Power, C. Rigollet and M. Simpson
Event name: 76th EAGE Conference and Exhibition - Workshops
Session: WS04 - Shale Characterization from Well Data Analysis
Publication date: 16 June 2014
Organisations: EAGE
Language: English
Info: Abstract, PDF ( 329.08Kb )
The prediction of mineralogy, TOC, grain density, porosity and gas saturation in organic rich shale is a challenging process that needs to rely on the integration of several measurement methodologies usually performed at different scale and by different disciplines. LECO analysis data can be used to measure the TOC values on core scale. Such values can drive the logs in estimating the TOC on a well scale. QEMSCAN measurements on core and cuttings provide accurate information about the shale composition. This information can be used, along with the TOC content, routine core data and the petrophysical deterministic analysis, to solve a probabilistic petrophysical model that allows characterizing the mineralogy and the organic content of the shale of interest along the whole well path. Once estimated the rock composition, the Brittleness Index can be estimated by assuming a multi-variable dependence between BI and the shale mineral composition. The BI calculated from the mineral composition can be further calibrated by using site specific rock cuttings and by correlating the BI values based on mineral components with the geomechanical response based on nano-indentation measurements. This methodology will be illustrated during the EAGE WS04 workshop with the Toarcian shale (COUY-1 well, Paris Basin, France).

Are you sure?
This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
A year ago Corey Abbott's life entered the realm of the bizarre when he discovered the things that go bump in the night are real. But working for the local vampire council didn't prepare him for were-deer shifters.
Nine months ago Dare Buckley's herd abandoned him. Now, he's slowly going mad from Lyme disease...something that doesn't hurt normal deer, but for were-deer is fatal.
On one snowy, sleet-filled night, the two collided...literally.
This Christmas two men find love in the most unexpected place...a lonely, desolate highway.
It's definitely not your typical meet-cute, but it's a twist of fate that would even make Santa happy.
Dare Buckley shuddered as he looked left at the wall of barren mesquite trees and right at a dead, grey field grass. Nothing looked familiar. He scented the air, but besides the bitter tang of the icy sleet, he couldn't sense anything, anyone in the dark.
It was finally happening. He was succumbing to the disease. Confusion and panic wracked him as he searched the desolate, wintery countryside for something...anything...that might look familiar.
He tore through the bare mesquite bushes, their branches rustling against his fur in his wake. His cloven hooves pounded across the frozen ground, echoing in the dark of the night. Breath huffed out his snout in tiny puffs of white fog as he shifted his weight, his path turning more and more erratic during the panicked flight.
Where the hell was he? He needed to find...something. His heart rate pounded through his chest, echoing in his ears. He needed to calm down, but his brain wasn't getting that signal as he became more and more confused.
Finally, he burst through the thicket. Freedom.
But a blast of white light burned his retina before something hot and piercing slammed into him. Hard, earthshattering, blinding pain rattled him as his body flew through the air.
Then the world went black.
FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK! Corey Abbott slammed his hand on the top of his steering wheel as he skidded to a stop. The sound of the sleet hitting the windshield and his wipers on the glass were the only sounds as he peered into the dark of night.
Merry Christmas to me, he muttered.
Fuck! He didn't need an expensive repair bill on his truck right now.
Fucking deer.
But even as he said it, he shook his head. It was his own damn fault. He'd been thinking about Damien and not paying that close of attention. He knew better. Out here in West Texas, there were more deer than jack-rabbits.
He grabbed his flashlight out of the console between the front seats and flipped on his hazards in case anyone else happened to be on the road. But that wasn't likely to happen. He hadn't seen a soul the whole ride home from work in San Angelo.
The sleet that had moved in about an hour ago kept most West Texans home. They only got weather like this a couple of times a year. None of the locals could drive on it, so the place simply shut down rather than try to deal with it.
He clicked on the flashlight and shrugged on his heavy, brown, canvas Carhartt coat to fight off the frigid cold before he climbed out of his truck. From the wonky light ahead, one of his headlights had been smashed in, but as he rounded the front bumper of his truck, he wasn't prepared for what he saw.
A huge antler had gotten tangled with his hood and hung off the grill as a macabre reminder of the animal he hit. The animal no longer attached to the appendage.
Shit. He was huge, wasn't he? That massive antler was one side of the biggest rack Corey had ever seen. It had to have at least a dozen points on it. How big had that deer been?
Corey swung his flashlight around, looking for the deer. There in the ditch lay the buck's hindquarters. Corey approached it slowly, not sure if it was dead or just wounded. He had his handgun under his seat if he needed it. He would never leave a wounded animal to suffer. Although it was probably stupid to come close to the injured animal without it right now.
Corey passed the light over the completely still carcass and squinted in disbelief. West Texas had become a hunter's mecca with ranches importing foreign, exotic deer. This one looked like a normal whitetail, which was native, but it was at least twice as big as the regular deer. No, this boy was at least the size of a full-grown elk with the antler rack to match.
A section of his scalp had been ripped away with the antler, and now, blood covered his head—a gruesome macabre mess. Definitely dead.
This majestic buck had probably been beautiful, standing tall and proud, but now with half his rack gone and the rest of him in the ditch, dead and bloody...
Corey shook his head and blew out a sigh to control the remorse and guilt trying to rise up his throat. Ever since Damien had died in front of him last year, it had been harder to deal with death...of any sort. This type—totally needless—was the worst kind.
I'm sorry, man, he said to the deer.
Fucking waste. I should have done better and been on the lookout for you.
Deer roamed the fields, grazed, and bedded down here in the evenings. Corey usually did a better job of paying attention to them. But he couldn't do anything about it now.
He turned back to the damage to the truck. He had a huge steel brush guard, but it hadn't done much to prevent the damage and would need to be replaced or rebuilt. The hood, front bumper, and the front fender on the passenger's side were completely trashed. Fuck.
He ducked his head and examined the wheel well, but it looked like the integrity had held there. He hoped so. His house was still a good five miles away. In this cold with his insufficient clothing layers, that walk would be worse than miserable. And he just happened

Running In Heels: Jacob's early holiday gift
Jacob, the Canadian clothing retailer, is giving away $300,000 in prizes this holiday season.
Jacob has long been one of my favourite mall boutiques, thanks to its work-friendly pieces, some of which translate to weekend wear quite well. The store favours safe, conservative colours – there's no shortage of black, grey and white here – but now and again I'm pleasantly surprised by the addition of deep jewel tones, like emerald and scarlet. All in all, its selection is sleek, comfortable, stylish, affordable and classic – with a little hit of trend.
Jacob is also the first Canadian retailer to publicly commit to no longer digitally enhance or alter the shape of its models, in an effort "to promote a healthy image of the female body." They'll continue to retouch colour if necessary (for its clothing and the skin tone of the models) but they won't touch the model's shape. (Admittedly, while I appreciate this idea, when the face and image of your brand is the Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha – who was named by Vogue Paris as one of the top 30 models of the 2000s – would you really need to retouch anything?) Still, this no-retouching policy is an effort nonetheless. The idea of instituting a near ban on digital body modification, especially in the fashion industry, is very cool.
Which is why I'm so excited about Jacob's newest promotional campaign. From November 9 to December 24, customers can log on to www.jacob.ca and click on I Want My Christmas Stocking. After printing it out, you can take it to your local Jacob store and find out what's inside your own special code. You could win:
one of 15,000 $10 discounts
one of 2,000 $25 discounts
one of 5,000 Jacob nail polishes (valued at $6 each)
or (I would fall over if I won this one) one of six $10,000 wardrobes
Right now, there are lots of red-tagged items, including winter coats, sweaters and slacks, all of which are eligible for an extra 30% off.

text: India v South Africa 2nd Test Tips, Predictions and Preview - Proteas bid to level series Bettingpro.com.au Staff in Cricket 8 Oct 2019296 31 shares Share Tweet Email Share RedditRohit Sharma (PA Images) South Africa fought hard for a day and half in the first Test in Visakhapatnam before India flexed their muscles to record a 203-run win. The teams now move to Pune for the second Test, as South Africa are desperate for a slice of inspiration as they look to level the series. India The hosts had a lot of positives going for them in the first Test, with key players leading the charge. 'Man of the match' Rohit Sharma had a great debut as Test opener (176 & 127), while Mayank Agarwal got his first Test double century. Mohammad Shami showcased his second-innings prowess once again (5 for 35), while Ravichandran Ashwin (eight wickets) and Ravindra Jadeja (six wickets) showcased how good they are in these conditions. All in all, it was a complete performance on expected lines from India with nothing much to worry about. If anything, they have a problem of plenty as Ishant Sharma wasn't needed much with the ball. South Africa The fight from South Africa was pristine, but the task for them was too much to scale. Their usual problems against spin surfaced in the second innings, with a horrendous collapse going against their hopes of fetching a draw. Regardless, the performances of Dean Elgar (160) and Quinton de Kock (111) in the first innings and Aiden Markram in the second (39) was a glimmer of hope.However, bowling looked completely out of sync as the Protea bowlers could only pick 11 wickets in the Test. The troika of spinners couldn't have the same impact as their Indian compatriots. Captain Faf du Plessis and the team management will surely have their hands full with selection. Match Up India dominated the proceedings in the first Test with a near-perfect performance in every department. They look strong to continue their charge and close out the series with a win. However, one thing that works in South Africa's favour is that India's last defeat in home conditions came at Pune against Australia in 2017. Regardless, South Africa need an incremental change in their performances to make a mark. Once again, it is India's Test to lose. History & Statistics India have won seven of their last nine Tests (W7, D1, L1) including the last three.Ten of India's last 11 Tests have been won by the team batting first.India's last home Test loss was to Australia at this venue in February 2017.South Africa have lost their last three Tests, but have not lost more since losing five in a row in 2005-06.South Africa are winless in ten Tests in the Indian sub-continent (D4, L6), losing the last five. Key Players Ashwin spoke about losing his 'love for cricket' when he was out of the team in the Windies. Back in the side now and able to pick up wickets at will, the off-spinner will be key to India's chances.All-rounder Senuran Muthusamy was unbeaten through the first Test (33* & 49*) playing out 214 balls in total. However, his bowling still needs to improve with just one wicket coming in Visakhapatnam. Tips PREDICTIONIndia to win$1.50Exclusive 100RACING Referral Code.

The 34-year-old Bournemouth player, who is eventually hoping to be fast-tracked to the Premiership, will be one of two assistant refs at the In-Excess Challenge Cup final between AFC Winton and Parley Sports at Christchurch on April 6.
As revealed in the Echo, Browning is in his first season as an official having qualified as a level seven referee last summer.
A spokesman for the Bournemouth FA said: 'His markings have been very good this season and this is a reward for a succession of impressive performances.'

Bailout concerns slam Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae shares
Filed under: Industry News
More concerns on Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae capital situation have come to bear again. At the time of this reading, the Dow Jones has fallen 188 points. The article talks about how a nationalization is getting more likely as time passes and if this happens then shareholder value will be wiped out.
Investors dumped shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on Monday after Barron's reported the increasing likelihood of a U.S. Treasury bailout that would approach nationalization of the two housing finance titans.
The weekly financial newspaper said such a move could wipe out existing holders of the largest U.S. home funding companies' common stock. Preferred shareholders and even holders of the two government-sponsored entities' $19 billion of subordinated debt would also suffer losses.
Shares of the two providers of home mortgage funding fell more than 16 percent and some of their bonds sharply underperformed Treasuries. A $4 billion sale of new Freddie Mac debt drew weak bids compared with similar issues last week.
A spokeswoman for the U.S. Treasury said the department has no plans to use its authority to backstop the two funding agencies. That authority was greatly increased by a rescue plan approved at the end of July.
"The Barron's article overstated Freddie Mac's financial situation," Sharon McHale, a Freddie Mac spokeswoman, told Reuters. "We continue to be adequately capitalized."
The poor performance of the U.S. mortgage market has pulled home loan rates up by about a percentage point from a year ago, just as the worst housing market since the Great Depression struggles to find a bottom.
Overseas central banks have sold nearly $11 billion from their holdings of agency-related securities in the past four weeks, awaiting clarity on the extent and nature of U.S. government backing of the two faltering companies, known as GSEs.

New approaches to design, smart manufacturing and sustainable thinking. The next challenges facing the swimwear market are opening up a new era for professionals across the board. With the swimwear market ready for action, the stakes are even higher.
For the last few years, lifestyle trends have celebrated surfwear, an alternative scene which has carved out its own spot between fashion and sport, establishing a hip new mindset: the cool surf vibe.
A new water-sports phenomenon is currently boosting the swimwear market with exponential growth in the latest activewear trends, driven by the popularity of aqua-fitness, aqua-biking, aqua-running and aqua-boxing, etc. These water-based activities tick all the boxes for men and women who want to combine staying in shape with having fun. Here, once again, there is a demand for a new, more mindful approach: the quest for wellbeing.
It is within this context that the swimsuit, the ultimate weapon of seduction, is on the brink of a revolution fuelled by new technologies: fabrics are ever more technical and functional, with a bespoke range of performance options, design is being revisited to address new requirements focusing on comfort and ergonomics and manufacturing is capable of integrating new techniques including, in the near future, the potential for 3D-printed swimwear. It's important to remember that swimwear is firmly part of the fashion world. A fashion sector that imposes a single rule for remaining attractive: standing out from the crowd to appeal to ever more connected and switched-on consumers, who are uncompromising with regard to comfort and performance, attentive to fit and elegance and keen to protect the planet through ethical consumption.
So how can we avoid the pitfalls? In which direction should the swimwear industry be moving? Which are the key areas for development? What about new manufacturing techniques? Which cutting-edge technologies will revolutionize manufacturing? To what extent are circular economies compatible with this new innovation cycle? What are the most effective actions for boosting consumption? How do you stimulate customer interest in 'new generation' articles?
The conference on "State-of-the-art Swim Solutions" will be held at 11.00am on Sunday 7 July at Interfilière Paris, bringing together a high-calibre roundtable to answer all these questions: Chloë Salmon Legagneur, Director of the Chaire BALI, Biarritz Active Lifestyle Industry project, Aline Gable, Nabaiji Brand Director for Decathlon, Thomas Batigne, Founder of the Lynxter start-up, Emmanuelle Cardosi, Designer and Director of CARDO Paris, Roberto Tiburzi – Swimwear & Apparel Category Manager for Arena and Dominique Heuillard, Technical Director for Sofileta.

Hi Great Who
I like the surprising shapes in addicted, but find them a bit too flashy. But then, maybe that is just because me and my eyes are getting old.
A hint at this place: To soften brightness steps, in other words to adjust the gamma value, do not use the log10, which is negative for inputs < 1, has a nasty zero singularity and is undefined for negative values. The usual way to map an input between 0... infinity, as may be the outcome of calculations, to the valid range 0...1, is
ret = 1 - exp(-a x ret + b);
where a>0 and b is often zero but may be slightly negative to decrease contrast, or positive to increase it.

Last night I thought "Not done a backup recently". Booted up OK this morning, shut down OK. Went for ride on the bike as usual. Got home, switched on ready for some 'bike vids, will not boot!
Booted up with Mint 19 install disc and I could see the main drive, so connected up the backup drive. Apart from half a dozen .jpeg files (not .jpg files), everything copied to backup OK.
Maybe it is my second 240GB SSD failing? How do I get it to boot again without wiping anything, or do I just put a spinner back in and reinstall Mint 19.x, and forget about these wonder solid state drives?
March 24, 2019 at 2:05 pm #32053
I just thought time for an update. Two weeks tomorrow since it last played up, and I am beginning to relax. I searched for Kodi inspired problems, could find nothing, but only used the Pi for Kodi since. There MAY be a connection.
For now I will just keep my fingers crossed.
Les.00March 25, 2019 at 10:14 am #32066
Oh dear! I spoke too soon. At switch on this morning, not boot found, please insert boot disc etc. I will try Ctrl-Alt-Del hust once.
Success —- for now.
Les.00March 25, 2019 at 10:33 am #32068
Run fsck, by issuing the following command in a terminal.
shutdown -rF now
This may or may not need a sudo.
This is a little like running chkdsk in Windows but is more powerful and it runs without much intervention unless it uncovers a huge nasty.00March 25, 2019 at 11:04 am #32069
I think that one of your programs is behaving badly. However,I have no idea which! If things have improved since you last used Kodi I'd grasp at straws and suggest a 'complete removal" of kodi via synaptic that would get rid of any chron objects it has inserted.
When you have a spare half hour you could use your file viewer to go to var/log and browse the following for clues:
mintsystem.log gives you the programs that run at Mint GUI start-up
syslog.log gives you a history of boots. Look at the last 'failure' and see if anything pops out. A lot of this will be network chitchat with a few errors as it negotiates DHCP – these you can ignore. Then there will be a list of chron jobs that are run at start-up – I suspect one of these is tied to Kodi or something and is going belly up. A warning – the syslog is HUGE and will take a lot of browsing.
I guess you could use cat grep "something to look for" /var/log/syslog.log, but I have no idea what to substitute for the "something to look for".00March 25, 2019 at 3:07 pm #32081
Ed, thanks for messages, I saw them as emails, with results following. NOTE, I just realised that "NOW" was part of your terminal line. I did not add that, probably resulting in the 1 min delay. anyway:-
Ed, thanks for messages. I did as advised (shutdown -rF) which it schedules one minute ahead. On time, screen blanks, then the Mint icon appeared, with the first three of five progressing dots on screen, then nothing. I went out to PO, and still sitting there unchanged.
CtrlAlt-Del, no response.
Forced shutdown. Switch on, then hold Shift.
Menu, select advanced options. 10 choices.
Select 2nd line, recovery. 8 options.
Select Grub.
First line lib/recovery-mode line 80: etc/default/res
No such file or directory.
There follow about 8 lines ending generic
1 line ending .elf
finally line ending .bin
Done, enter.
Select FSCK Can not enter, not in read only mode.
Select DPKG
reading cache can not upgrade. Upgrade from tessa to bionic not supported.
Select Resume
reboots without some drivers.
Restart – which it DOES. It must be 2 years since a restart filed to hang at the Mint icon.
Does any of the above mean anything? Not to me.
Les.00March 25, 2019 at 4:21 pm #32088
Do as you did before – reboot while holding SHIFT
a) Select Advanced Options
b) run fsck. This one MUST be run before the others. Ignore warnings!
c) run clean (cannot make space on a carp file system hence fsck first)
d) run dpkg (cannot sort out packages on a carp file system hence fsck first)
e) update grub (not really necessary as you will not even have reached Advanced Options. It does however help if you have not got enough boot space and you tried to update the kernel – funny things then happen.
f) hit resume and cross your fingers.
You may want to run that clean-up script I posted earlier, as lack of root/boot space can be a cause of problems.00April 2, 2019 at 10:58 am #32319
Here we go again! Since Ed's last message, I have tried at least half a dozen times to start whilst pressing SHIFT. Pressing and holding until normal mint start, pressing tap tap tap until normal mint start. It would not go to a command line. I tried with the shutdown command as before, but (as has been the norm), it never "restarts" — just that one time when Ed suggested it.
This morning:
boot from CD
read error. — ctr-alt-del — shutdown button, shutdown button to start
boot from CD
error reading grub — ctr-alt-del — shutdown button, shutdown button to start
boot from CD read error. — ctr-alt-del — shutdown button, shutdown button to start
Insert install DVD, boot to live image.
SSD is visible, and can be mounted and unmounted.
Shutdown and remove DVD.
Repeats the Boot from CD stuff again.
Again insert DVD and boot to live image.
Try DDan's suggestion
sudo fdisk -l
Disk /dev/loop0:1.8GB (the boot DVD I assume)
Disk / dev/sda: 223GB blah blahblah
units sectors of /* 512 = 512bytes
sector size (logical/physical) ditto
IO size ditto
Disk label type DOS
Disk ID 0xf243a422
Device Boot Start ends sectors size ID Type
SDA1 * 2048 468860927 468858880 223GB 83 linux
Sudo Blkid
blah blah blah sectors OK, no ewrrors
Chroot Hmm, but what should follow. Old man stumped again.
Shutdown. NORMAL START!!!!!
Here I am, just baffled.

Are you REALLY sure you want to keep going with Linx Les ?
Linux is open sourse and great for hobbyists and tinker's but because of that there is no "standard" config out there.
Just saying because you can get W10 really cheap ?00April 2, 2019 at 8:57 pm #32345
D-DanParticipant@d-danForumite Points: 1,786
chroot should be your first port of call here. There's every chance that something is resting unconfigured.
Arch wiki, but will work: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot#Using_chroot (you'll need to boot from your CD/DVD/USB)
Once you are in, try:
[code]sudo dpkg –configure -a[/code]
Let it run through. Watch for errors or failures, and if necessary, remove misbehaving updates. You may need to try:
[code]sudo apt-get install -f[/code]
Just to be able to uninstall stuff (though that could, equally, help to fix whatever is breaking).
EDIT: And damn – [code] tags not supported – but you get the idea.
Arch Linux, on a Ryzen 7 1800X, 16 GB, 6 (yes - 6) HDs inc 2 SSDs, 4 RPi 3Bs + 1 RPi 4B - one as an NFS server with two more drives, PiHole (shut yours), Plex server, cloud server, and other random Pi stuff. Nice CoolerMaster case, NV GTX 1060 6GB, and a whopping 32" AOC 1440P monitor.00April 2, 2019 at 11:27 pm #32351
Ddan, hmm. No, over my head I am afraid.
The only time I got into "Single user mode", I tried the wrong command first (see many posts back).
I just tried another three times, twice following the Shutdown command from terminal. Again, no luck. I have tried both the RH "SHIFT" and the LH "SHIFT" control. I have tried both holding down, and tapping. I tried from switch on, and from a moment or so after the "Boot from CD" line. — (First boot set for CD)
With that single exception recently, Mint 18 and 19 have NEVER made a proper "Restart", not even after clicking the "Install" icon from an INSTALL routine.
If I need a reboot, I just use "Shutdown" and press start button when completed.

See ?
Microsoft are not the big bad guy's they once were.00April 3, 2019 at 7:30 am #32353
Les, I think you have to give up and do a complete reinstall including formatting your boot drive.
First however copy the contents of your Home folder onto a Flash drive. I doubt that your Home is bigger than 128GB and such drives are available for £15 or so, with 64GB drives under £10. Do NOT copy the hidden files with the exception of Mozilla and Thunderbird as I suspect that Kodi or something has messed up your boot configs.00April 3, 2019 at 5:55 pm #32378
Early this morning as I lay in bed, I decided the best thing to do would be to copy everything, full reinstall, without adding any of the non-vanilla programs (esp Kodi) until I need them. (Gimage reader, xsane, skype, simple screen recorder and such like. ( Ed, your advice I now see).
Anyway, it was difficult this morning, but did lead directly to the single user mode.
I will show all the steps, just in case it suggests anything, bearing in mind I still have a (no longer strong) possibility that there is still the SSD having had one fail.
Boot from CD
Error read and write to outside of HD0. (no time to read full info before it moved on itself)
Need to load kernel
Menu with 12 lines, —– generic
——- Recovery etc
I selected 1st recovery, fail, likewise 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
5th choice did load a kernel.
New DOS style message
First line included End kernel panic not syncing:VFS:unable to mount root fs on unknown block (0,0)
computer unresponsive, so I did a forced shutdown and then started it again.
Same routine, but this time I choose the 6th recovery kernel. It loads.
Note in following, some White Text on black back ground, some normal black text on white background These are underlined .
Recovery menu
<OK> started DBUS system message BUS Clean
Try to make free space
Starting manage install and generate color ptofiles
– Broken Packages

Update Grub Bootloader
Starting Avhi mDMS/DMS-SD STACK

What next, ESC or Enter? Try ESC. Gives familiar menu
System summary

/lib recovery-mode /recovery-menu line80: / etc/
default/res: no such file or directory
(+ About another 18 lines)
Done Finished, Please press enter. Returns to Menu
FSCK Can not, needs to be read only Returns to Menu
DPGK reading cache
can not upgrade
An upgrade from Tessa to to Bionic not possible.
Done Finished, Please press enter. Returns to Menu
Resume, not all drivers will be loaded
Loads Linux OK.
Shutdown. Leave until later today
Start. Loads OK
That is where I am now. I will do a bit of house keeping, copy all my stuff away and then do the full reinstall.
Les.00April 3, 2019 at 10:08 pm #32387
Important stuff from HOME folder copied to my backup.
Mint 19.1 installed to SSD deleting all existing data.
All backups transferred to new Home folder.
Thunderbird and firefox loaded with old info.
Vanilla install only, will wait to install wanted programmes, then singly as required.
It works, fingers crossed, we shall see what happens.
Les.00April 8, 2019 at 9:58 pm #32472
Since the reinstall, I have added "Calibre", but not opened it.
One day, the bottom bar had a reddish colour, and icons not responding. I eventually realised that the red was to do with moving the icon bar (I think) but by then I had managed to lose the icons, so had to right click the progeammes from the menu box. They appeared small, and on bottom RHS. Now if you minimise something, it disappears, not to be found in its icon location. Using alt-tab will find it if later use items are closed. Confusing.
BUT, this afternoon I shut down. When switched on, the boot drive was missing.
Boot from CD
Error read …. etc.
Force shut down. this time it starts OK.
This must end somewhere, but WHERE?
Buy another 250GB SSD, put iin the other identical computer and reinstall yet again?????
Nothing has gone amiss since the reinstall to screw GRUB up.
It surely MUST be hardware.
Les.00April 9, 2019 at 7:30 am #32479
I'm assuming that you have a near vanilla Mint with no 'unusual' software.
Given the MTBF for modern SSDs I think it unlikely that you need yet another SSD. A failing PSU may have caused odd visual glitches, or possibly you have some bad connectors between the mobo and SSD or PSU and SSD. If you have spare connectors try a swap around.00April 9, 2019 at 10:14 am #32493
Ed, I am at a loss to come to any conclusion. Consider the history.
Last year a failing monitor lead me astray, so I bought an identical Shuttle and ran that instead, only then diagnosing the monitor fault. Bought a new one.
I had got a 60GB SSD from Dave for the op system. Everything ran OK, but I was annoyed by the faffing around every time I wanted to put something in my files on the spinner, so I bought the 240GB SSD and discarded the spinner. Later, the problems, identical to current began, and I reinstated the two drives (SSD plus HDD) and sent the 240GB back to supplier. It was (presumably) deemed faulty after a couple of weeks, and an identical replacement received.
After a few months, the current round of problems began once more.
Last week's install absolutely vanilla, other than the calibre, which has not yet been opened.
No Skype, Kodi, Simplescreen recorder, Gimage reader, Shotwell,Xsane,Cheerse, Brassero, or the MSfonts.
I could swop this SSD into the other shuttle and see what happens (but there could be a problem with slightly different graphics card (Gforce GT720 here, GT620 there if I remember correctly) otherwise identical.
Or just buy another SSD for this shuttle. It MUST be a hardware fault of some sort, and other than a spare big SSD, I have a spare "everything".
By the way, first switch on today was a fail. Switch off, switch on, this time it started OK.
Les.00April 9, 2019 at 12:09 pm #32494
I suspect overheating. This can cause colour glitches, and cause file corruption. Check all your fans are working (including CPU/GPU), check for dead rodents and spiders and give it a good air blast.00April 9, 2019 at 8:04 pm #32507
Ed, NOT overheating. Until a couple of months ago, I used to switch PC on and off up to 4 times a day, but after that first failure to boot, when I identified that the SSD "was not present", I have been leaving it on all day. Only if I have done a re-start has it crashed when hot, every other time has necessarily been first thing in the morning, as today.
In the next few days, time permitting, I will get the other shuttle and fit this SSD. Because of the different graphics card, it may refuse to boot, in which case I will do another full reinstall, since that part is generally simple and quick.
Otherwise, I am quite stuck for ideas. If it screws up then, the only common factor will be the SSD.
Les.00April 10, 2019 at 8:56 pm #32527
The other common factors are your PSU, mobo/GPU and all the connections to the SSD.00

Pioneer BDP-150-S Blu-Ray Player Driver
A valid complaint about low-priced Blu-ray players is that some of them trap heat inside the chassis. But over the time I tested the player, it never locked up or got hot to where I was afraid that it could damage itself.
Japan is considering sending several senior Ground Self-Defense Pioneer BDP-150-S Blu-Ray Player officials to the headquarters of the Multinational Force and Observers, which is This is according to a report from The same can be said of the Custom mode and that may be worth using if your display tends to show up posterisation banding effects as the CTI control was quite effective in upping the colour resolution.

Family vacation at a lake we love
This is our third stay at Lake Anna. The location of this house is perfect, quiet cove, great dock, and super views. House is wonderful, beds were comfy. Home owner was great. Kitchen could use a tea kettle and a whisk. It was great to have a marina so close to the house. We even got to listen to some live music at the marina while we were there.
Thank you very much for your kind comments and suggestions. I will make sure to include a tea kettle and whisk.
Thank you as well for keeping the house nice and clean!
All the best!
Great location
Nice house, great location.
Thank you very much for staying at the Lake House!
Great family lake getaway
This is our first lake Anna family vacation, and for certain we are coming back! The house was in great order, good decor, and many things for the kiddos to do. We rented a boat right next door at the pleasant landing marina and beach. A super plus being so close. Kids fished, swam, s'mores at night. Star gazing a sitting in the yard was amazing. I recommend this property and the owner was super communicative. We had a small hiccup but Mr. M the owner was right on it, and he is the best! Thank you from all our family. :)
Beautiful property.
The house was beautiful with an even better dock to accompany it. The marina is right next door if you're looking to rent a boat. Beds are cozy and the house is incredible.
Perfect Weekend Away
A group of 10 of us rented the house for a weekend away and everything was absolutely perfect. The pictures do not do the view justice because it is absolutely breathtaking.
We had brought a few big blow up tubes and floated around in the cove which was perfect. You can jump straight from the dock since it is deeper!
There is just enough throughout the area to do and we spent a day traveling to local wineries. I definitely would recommend this property to anyone looking to rent a home in Lake Anna. John was super responsive the entire time. Hoping to get back some time in the future!
A fantastic Thanksgiving getaway!
We were at Lake Anna Pleasant View for Thanksgiving 2017 and really enjoyed our time there. We're a family of four...our kids are teenage boys. There was plenty of space throughout the house with comfortable seating at the kitchen table and the living room. The games in the unfinished basement were a huge hit for our competitive family. The hot tub was a big draw since it was a bit chilly outside, and the view was pretty cool. The house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the simple things in life. The kitchen could have had more mixing bowls, but then again, it was Thanksgiving and we were cooking more than usual. We sure hope to return to enjoy this property during the warmer months!
Thank you very much for your great review. I will certainly take your advice and put in more mixing bowls in the kitchen in the future.
I'm glad that your family had a great time. I also want to specially thank you for leaving the place clean and orderly.
We would love to accommodate your family soon!

Unlike most other plants the International Machine Company paid on Monday, and it was on the Monday following his assumption of his new duties that Jimmy had his first clash with Bince. He had been talking with Everett, the cashier, whom, in accordance with his "method," he was studying. From Everett he had learned that it was pay-day and he had asked the cashier to let him see the pay-roll.
"I don't handle the pay-roll," replied Everett a trifle peevishly. "Shortly after Mr. Bince was made assistant general manager a new rule was promulgated, to the effect that all salaries and wages were to be considered as confidential and that no one but the assistant general manager would handle the pay-rolls. All I know is the amount of the weekly check. He hires and fires everybody and pays everybody."
"Rather unusual, isn't it?" commented Jimmy.
"Very," said Everett. "Here's some of us have been with Mr. Compton since Bince was in long clothes, and then he comes in here and says that we are not to be trusted with the pay-roll."
"Well," said Jimmy, "I shall have to go to him to see it then."
"He won't show it to you," said Everett.
"Oh, I guess he will," said Jimmy, and a moment later he knocked at Bince's office door. When Bince saw who it was he turned back to his work with a grunt.
"I am sorry, Torrance," he said, "but I can't talk with you just now. I'm very busy."
"Working on the pay-roll?" said Jimmy. "Yes," snarled Bince.
"That's what I came in to see," said the efficiency expert.
"Impossible," said Bince. "The International Machine Company's pay-roll is confidential, absolutely confidential. Nobody sees it but me or Mr. Compton if he wishes to."
"I understood from Mr. Compton," said Jimmy, "that I was to have full access to all records."
"That merely applied to operation records," said Bince. "It had nothing to do with the pay-roll."
"I should consider the pay-roll very closely allied to operations," responded Jimmy.
"I shouldn't," said Bince.
"You won't let me see it then?" demanded Jimmy.
"Look here," said Bince, "we agreed that we wouldn't interfere with each other. I haven't interfered with you. Now don't you interfere with me. This is my work, and my office is not being investigated by any efficiency expert or any one else."
"I don't recall that I made any such agreement," said Jimmy. "I must insist on seeing that pay-roll."
Bince turned white with suppressed anger, and then suddenly slamming his pen on the desk, he wheeled around toward the other.
"I might as well tell you something," he said, "that will make your path easier here, if you know it. I understand that you want a permanent job with us. If you do you might as well understand now as any other time that you have got to be satisfactory to me. Of course, it is none of your business, but it may help you to understand conditions when I tell you that I am to marry Mr. Compton's daughter, and when I do that he expects to retire from business, leaving me in full charge here. Now, do you get me?"
Jimmy had involuntarily acquired antipathy toward Bince at their first meeting, an antipathy which had been growing the more that he saw of the assistant general manager. This fact, coupled with Bince's present rather nasty manner, was rapidly arousing the anger of the efficiency expert. "I didn't come in here," he said, "to discuss your matrimonial prospects, Mr. Bince. I came in here to see the pay-roll, and you will oblige me by letting me see it."
"I tell you again," said Bince, "once and for all, that you don't see the pay-roll nor anything else connected with my office, and you will oblige me by not bothering me any longer. As I told you when you first came in, I am very busy."
Jimmy turned and left the room. He was on the point of going to Compton's office and asking for authority to see the pay-roll, and then it occurred to him that Compton would probably not take sides against his assistant general manager and future son-in-law.
"I've got to get at it some other way," said Jimmy, "but you bet your life I'm going to get at it. It looks to me as though there's something funny about that pay-roll."
On his way out he stopped at Everett's cage. "What was the amount of the check for the pay-roll for this week, Everett?" he asked.
"A little over ninety-six hundred dollars."
"Thanks," said Jimmy, and returned to the shops to continue his study of his men, and as he studied them he asked many questions, made many notes in his little note-book, and always there were two questions that were the same: "What is your name? What wages do you get?"
"I guess," said Jimmy, "that in a short time I will know as much about the payroll as the assistant general manager."
Nor was it the pay-roll only that claimed Jimmy's attention. He found that several handlings of materials could be eliminated by the adoption of simple changes, and that a rearrangement of some of the machines removed the necessity for long hauls from one part of the shop to another. After an evening with the little volume he had purchased for twenty-five cents in the second-hand bookshop he ordered changes that enabled him to cut five men from the pay-roll and at the same time do the work more expeditiously and efficiently.
"Little book," he said one evening, "I take my hat off to you. You are the best two-bits' worth I ever purchased."
The day following the completion of the changes he had made in the shop he was in Compton's office.
"Patton was explaining some of the changes you hav
e made," remarked Compton. Patton was the shop foreman. "He said they were so simple that he wondered none of us had thought of them before. I quite agree with him."
"So do I," returned Jimmy, "but, then, my whole method is based upon simplicity." And his mind traveled to the unpretentious little book on the table in his room on Indiana Avenue.
"The feature that appeals to me most strongly is that you have been able to get the cooperation of the men," continued Compton "that's what I feared-that they wouldn't accept your suggestions. How did you do it?"
"I showed them how they could turn out more work and make more money by my plan. This appealed to the piece-workers. I demonstrated to the others that the right way is the easiest way-I showed them how they could earn their wages with less effort."
"Good," said Compton. "You are running into no difficulties then? Is there any way in which I can help you?"
"I am getting the best kind of cooperation from the men in the shop, practically without exception," replied Jimmy, "although there is one fellow, a straw boss named Krovac, who does not seem to take as kindly to the changes I have made as the others, but he really doesn't amount to anything as an obstacle." Jimmy also thought of Bince and the pay-roll, but he was still afraid to broach the subject. Suddenly an inspiration came to him.
"Yes," he said, "I believe your accounting system could be improved-it will take me months to get around to it, as my work is primarily in the shop, at first, at least. You can save both time and money by having your books audited by a firm of public accountants who can also suggest a new and more up-to-date system."
"Not a bad idea," said Compton. "I think we will do it."
For another half-hour they discussed Jimmy's work, and then as the latter was leaving Compton stopped him.
"By the way, you don't happen to know of a good stenographer, do you? Miss Withe is leaving me Saturday."
Jimmy thought a moment. Instantly he thought of Little Eva and what she had said of her experience as a stenographer, and her desire to abandon her present life for something in the line of her former work. Here was a chance to repay her in some measure for her kindness to him.
"Yes," he said, "I do know of a young lady who, I believe, could do the work. Shall I have her call on you?"
"If you will, please," replied Compton
As Jimmy left the office Compton rang for Bince, and when the latter came, told him of his plan to employ a firm of accountants to renovate their entire system of bookkeeping.
"Is that one of Torrance's suggestions?" asked Bince.
"Yes, the idea is his," replied Compton, "and I think it is a good one."
"It seems to me," said Bince, "that Torrance is balling things up sufficiently as it is without getting in other theorizers who have no practical knowledge of our business. The result of all this will be to greatly increase our overhead by saddling us with a lot of red-tape in the accounting department similar to that which Torrance is loading the producing end with."
"I am afraid that you are prejudiced, Harold," said Compton. "I cannot discover that Torrance is doing anything to in any way complicate the shop work. As a matter of fact a single change which he has just made has resulted in our performing certain operations in less time and to better advantage with five less men than formerly. Just in this one thing he has not only more than earned his salary, but is really paying dividends on our investment."
Bince was silent for a moment. He had walked to the window and was looking out on the street below, then he turned suddenly toward Compton.
"Mr. Compton," he said, "you have made me assistant general manager here and now, just when I am reaching a point where I feel I can accomplish something, you are practically taking the authority out of my hands and putting it in that of a stranger. I feel not only that you are making a grave mistake, but that it is casting a reflection on my work. It is making a difference in the attitude of the men toward me that I am afraid can never be overcome, and consequently while lessening my authority it is also lessening my value to the plant. I am going to ask you to drop this whole idea. As assistant general manager, I feel that it is working injury to the organization, and I hope that before it is too late-that, in fact, immediately, you will discharge Torrance and drop this idea of getting outsiders to come in and install a new accounting system."
"You're altogether too sensitive, Harold," replied Compton. "It is no reflection on you whatsoever. The system under which we have been working is, with very few exceptions, the very system that I evolved myself through years of experience in this business. If there is any reflection upon any one it is upon me and not you. You must learn to realize, if you do not already, what I realize-that no one is infallible. Just because the system is mine or yours we must not think that no better system can be devised. I am perfectly satisfied with what Mr. Torrance is doing, and I agree with his suggestion that we employ a firm of accountants, but I think no less of you or your ability on that account."
Bince saw that it was futile to argue the matter further.
"Very well, sir," he said. "I hope that I am mistaken and that no serious harm will result. When do you expect to start these accountants in?"
"Immediately," replied Compton. "I shall get in touch with somebody today."
Bince shook his head dubiously as he returned to his own office.

In an alternating current (AC) circuits, the ratio of actual power used on a circuit to the apparent power supplied to the circuit is called power factor (PF). The power factor value can be between 0 and 1. It is good to keep this value close to 1.
Active power is measured in W. It is also known as actual or true power and refers to the power that works in a circuit. Reactive power is measured in VA. It refers to the power that does not work in a circuit. The sum of active power and reactive power are formed apparent power.
If all the power is reactive, the power factor is 0. If all the power is active, power factor is 1.
Power factor is found by dividing the actual power into apparent power.
PF: Power Factor
P: Actual Power (W)
S: Apparent Power (VA)
The most common example in electrical engineering for the definition of active and reactive power is a glass filled with Weiss beer. Assume that the glass filled with beer and there are suds on it. The beer at the bottom of the glass represent active power, suds on the glass represent reactive power, the whole glass represents apparent power.
Power factor is very important for all electrical devices which supplied with AC power network. In AC/DC converters, power factor correction (PFC) circuits are used to increase the power factor and make it close to 1 as possible.
When power factor is low, the cable thickness which is used to feed should be increased and fuse equipment should be chosen according to this. When power factor is high, cables with less section thickness can be used for the same amount of active power.
It can be said that the power factor for residences does not have any effect on the electricity bill. Because the electricity meters used in residences only read the actual power and billing is done through this value. However, the fact that energy is wasted due to low power factor does not change.
Reactive power is one of the main factors that caused energy pollution. The choice of high-power factor products can be minimized reactive load currents.

Our product is an organic fertilizer that aims at maximizing the productivity and quality of crops by operating on the soil quality, enriching it with minerals and other microorganisms. Our idea was the development of a logo that could display the processes we activate in the soil, so our initial idea was a logo composed of two arrows, colored in green, brown and orange (to give an idea of the soil), one of which would be directed towards the soil, to give idea of the ingoing process, and the other would be directed out of the soil to give an idea of the outgoing process. The Colors would be harmonious, natural and related to crops and soil. The company name would be either within or below the arrows and the color of the company name would be either a neutral one or correlated with the colors of the arrows.
