LLOYDS is going to FLY mememe: all working fine there are no problems and never were. I think you’re missing the point. Why is Microsoft interfering? If I had a problem I’d contact Veracrypt not ask MS to fix. Well @mememe I think it might be you who are missing the point. I think that the message that you described ‘The filesystem has not been properly dismounted and do I want Windows to detect and fix errors (if any) on the filesystem’. See link below:- [link] This is Windows is trying to tell you that at some point your PC was powered off rather than properly shutdown and that you therefore have disk errors that need to be fixed. Ignore this at your peril but it is easy to sort out with the command that I described. There was no mention of op;en source software in the message that you listed, I dont think its anything to do with VeraCrypt. But whatever. You do whatever you feel is best. Pref

LLOYDS is going to FLY HI @mememe, Sounds like you might have a disk error to me, ever had the PC power off without shutting it down properly. That will cause very minor disk corruption. Try the following to fix it:- Open a cmd window as administrator (type cmd in the search box, right click on “run as adminstrator”) and then type chkdsk f where is something like c: or d:. If your not sure which disks to do do them all, it can do no harm. Command is short for “check disk” If you need to do the C: drive you will need to select the option to do the scan on restart and then restart the PC and it will do the scan then. You might also get a message about the disk being locked and do you want to proceed. Just say yes. Running this command should sort out any problems. Results of the operation will be reported in the event log. ATB Pref

Brexit Wars 3 A. C. Grayling (No relation to Chris) Britain’s greatest living Philosopher: “The British government is at war with the British people. It is threatening disaster by imposing severe sanctions on the economy, shredding rights, and handing over the populace, bound hand and foot, to predators whose only interest is off-shore profiteering.” Just as some of have been saying here for ages.

Brexit Wars 3 It’s McBride’s own fault… why didn’t they change their business model to growing turnips?

LLOYDS is going to FLY mememe: BTW are you still with IG Markets? Are you concerned that they send trading statements by email? Yep I know! They aren’t the only ones as well. I’m not concerned personally and it is easier… but it is a bit outdated and less secure. I don’t actively use IG, I used to use it for s/betting. That’s a story in itself as it almost ended in a legal case but they settled up in the end… and strangely left my account still open. I use veracrypt too by the way. It’s a great product like truecrypt before it. I know that if my PC or laptop ever got stolen (again) that they can’t access the data.

Brexit Wars 3 Yep JAR, adapt to survive alright: Barrow - for the 1st time in over 30 years - voted for Boris Johnson & the Conservatives in order to get Brexit done at the last election. McBride to closes its factory (household cleaning products) there in order to transfer production to the EU in order to survive Brexit, with the loss of 106 jobs. this summer. In Cumbria McBride confirm Barrow factory closure at a cost of 106 jobs Household cleaning products firm McBride has confirmed its Barrow factory will shut down in the summer at a cost of 106 jobs And jobs are scare in Cumbria. Doh! IMHO, SBK

LLOYDS is going to FLY @J_Westlock, thanks I’ll give it a try. I’ve used Apache but don’t really like it. As you say it’s easier to use excel as most places are MS houses and also I’ve been using it for 20+ years so familiar with a lot of the functionality. BTW are you still with IG Markets? Are you concerned that they send trading statements by email?

RDSB Gamesinvestor1 24 Feb 2020

Value Territory or a value trap? Having got out of all commodities apart from gold some time back, it looks like RDSB is now down at a much lower level over the last 4 yrs. 1822 at close today compared to a peak of 2800 back mid year 2018 – some 35%+ drop. The oil price seems trapped between the low and high $50 level and the uncertainty seems all over the place. The dividend yield is 7.9% – how sustainable that is, is the big question? Forward P/E of 9.5 – but subject to where the oil price ends up over the coming months. Scare factor on the virus must be overly factored in or is there worse to come? Monster borrowings at more than 4 times after tax profit Cash was reduced last year, largely due to $10bn of share buybacks, $15bn dividends and $3.4bn of debt reduction. Without the buybacks they would have increased net cash by $2bn. RDSB - really needs the oil price nearer $60 than $50 to keep this lot stable. Statement of the blxxdin obvious I know. The LNG projections are interesting with a doubling of usage in the next 20 years to offset carbon reduction requirements – how they forecast this lot is anybody’s guess. Nonetheless and against my better judgement I popped some in my basket after the sell off today. LK Hyman would be pleased – although I am rather suspicious that he is less than pleased with the £10 a share drop in the last 20 months or so. Games

LLOYDS is going to FLY @skiking37 not malware. The message I get is ‘The filesystem has not been properly dismounted and do I want Windows to detect and fix errors (if any) on the filesystem’. Have sent to the open-source provider there is no issue. Anyway, what business is it of Microsoft?

GKP MikeyAdmin 24 Feb 2020

Is Valueseeker8 Claim that GKP is Trading at a Loss True Screencast.com 2020-02-24_0846 Shared from Screencast.com The actual Lifting costs as detailed in the Corporate Presentation January 2020 are $3.9, and as can be seen it is an opex (Operating Expense) which is claimable back under the PSC Licence via the Cost Recovery route. 1,110,000 x $3.9 = $4,329,000 Screencast.com 2020-02-21_1346 Shared from Screencast.com The above screenshot is of the Shaikan “Production Sharing Contract,” Summary of Terms, which in short, is the Holy Grail from which GKP calculates all the Production Payments. So if it’s not in the Summary of Terms, then any calculation one can think of should not be used. At the end of each Month, by using the above GKP has 10 days to calculate how much Oil has been Produced, at what Price relative to Brent, and at what Operating Expense, and deliver those Calculations to the MNR/KRG before or by the 10th day of the Month. Once received the MNR/KRG will check and agree the amount claimed, then Payment will be made at a time of the MNR/KRG’s choosing. (that is when the simple clockwork mechanism goes to pot) Please see the Screenshot below for confirmation of Article 3.11 Screencast.com 2020-02-20_0857 Shared from Screencast.com The “Production Sharing Contract,” Summery of Terms, lays out in detail how the Summary of Term should be used . . . and as GKP signed up to the Contract it should be viewed as a Legal Document. It is clearly stated that there are two independent calculation streams, on the left, in percentage terms of (40% of 90%) is Cost Recovery which is actually “36%” of the full 100% of the Gross Revenue after the KRG Royalty Payment is removed. Included in the Cost Recovery are all Shaikan Operating Expenses (opex) which of course include Lifting Costs and everything else which is deemed an Operating Expense. And on the right are the calculations that GKP uses to calculate the Profit Oil Payments to the KRG, MOL & GKP. GKP as the Main Contractor is solely responsible for making the calculations Please Note . . . there is no subtractions crossing from the Cost Recovery side to the Profit Oil side , they are two completely separate Calculations, which are shown joining together at the Contractor 30–15% R-Factor stage, before being Split between the Contractors along Working Interest lines, MOL 20% & GKP 80% At the R-Factor split stage at no point does it show any deductions for any Costs, Lifting or otherwise, but in the final box “GKPI 80%” is does say “less Capacity Building on Share of Profit Oil” which I am believe to be 40% but could possibly be 30% However there is a calculation missing from the “Production Sharing Contract,” Summery of Terms . . . and that is the current R-Factor percentage figure that are in use, which are between 30—70 and 15—85, and as the only variable in the entire Production Sharing Contract," Summery of Terms, the amount has to play an important part in the calculations. I’ve tried working backward without success, so the only way the correct R-Factor can be obtained is by a process of elimination. Using the September Production figures 30—70 split I got $18,174,132.65 which is to high Using the same September figures and a 15—85 split I got $14,920,535.66 which is to low So the correct R-Factor percentage that’s being used is somewhere in between the two extremes, possibly 20—80 or 23—77

LLOYDS is going to FLY mememe: However, I’m using a very old version of Office so should upgrade - hate being ‘forced’ to for security reasons functionality is more than sufficient for me I only use excel. I don’t mind paying but people say they have issues using Office 365 - have you? Why don’t you try LibreOffice on Windows first @mememe ? (Given your use some open source stuff already) I find it works fine for all I need it to do… but tbh I use both. If it wasn’t for fact that most workplaces are MS houses and it was just for my personal use… I’d defo be using LibreOffice.

LLOYDS is going to FLY skiking37: Not convinced MS are tracking you and offering help on open source applications that aren’t there’s. That sound like malware Yes @skiking37, @mememe, I tend to agree with skiking37. I have never encountered any such messages and I have various bits of open source software and freeware on my PC. As for Office 365 its great, I really like it, changes to Excel functionality and the capabilities for working with tables and making the whole thing more like a database have changed my whole approach to producing spreadsheets. I would not wish to return to the old ways. ATB Pref
