The Pirate’s Bed by N. Winstanley
Authors: Aitken Leslie 
Published: October 2017

Winstanley, Nicola. The Pirate’s Bed. Illustrated by Matt James. Tundra Books, 2015.Nicola Winstanley has produced a tale both whimsical and original in this picture book for children of kindergarten and primary school age. In brief, her story details the adventures of a seafaring bed that, by means of a shipwreck, escapes its obligations to a smelly footed pirate, washes ashore, and becomes the treasured hand-me-down of generations of landlubbers. Her story is strongly supported by Matt James’ boldly coloured, graphically descriptive, and humorous illustrations. There is an appealing, childlike quality to his various depictions: a bearded and gap-toothed pirate who sleeps with his teddy bear; waves that reach up with evil fingers to spill the pirates out of their ship; playful dolphins and a helpful gull who guide the bed through the waves. Observant children will notice, as well, that the bed is able to frown and smile as events unfold. The artist’s work would both engage and enrich the imaginations of most five-to-eight year olds. While Winstanley’s brevity of sentence length and simplicity of syntax are suited to the listening skills of most children in this age group, generally, only the older ones would have the reading skills necessary to handle such text as follows:“When the bed had lived on the ship, the nights had been full of the bright richness of the pirate’s life and imagination. Now nighttime was long and dark and empty….The bed floated, unencumbered, and wished for the weight of a sleeper” [p.20].Younger children would most fully appreciate the book in the context of a story hour or bedtime reading.Editor’s note: This book was also reviewed by students from the Child Study Centre’s Junior Kindergarten Program in the Faculty of Education at the University of Alberta in Vol 6, No 2 (2016) of the Deakin (http://dx.doi.org/10.20361/G2WP5H).Reviewer: Leslie AitkenRecommended: 3 out of 4 starsLeslie Aitken’s long career in librarianship involved selection of children’s literature for school, public, special, and university collections.

Inuit Spirit by G. Arnaktauyok
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: October 2017

Arnaktauyok, Germaine. Inuit Spirit. Inhabit Media, 2016.Generally, we do not include colouring books in library collections because they are consumable. Once someone has coloured the pictures, the book is used up. However, with the advent of adult colouring, the content of some colouring books has become important. Recently there have been several regrettable instances of colouring books about Canadian Indigenous people that have been created by non-Indigenous authors. In contrast, Inuit Spirit contains twenty seven line drawings by world-renowned Inuit artist, Germaine Arnaktauyok. The drawings are of Inuit life, Inuit mythology and tundra and ocean plants and animals. Each drawing comes with an informative note. For example, the drawing of purple saxifrage flowers is accompanied by: “This is a close-up view of purple saxifrage flowers. In the spring, caribou eat so many purple saxifrage flowers that their muzzles are often stained purple.”If this book were added to a school or public library, children would want to colour the pictures. However, it does supply an artist’s rendition of the Inuit world that is accessible to children. The text also contains useful information. For example, the combination of the image and text of the legend of “earth children” or babies born from the land makes the concept of this legend easy to understand, so the purchase of this volume for children’s collections would be a judgement call by the librarian. However, it would be a good addition to any library that collects works related to Inuit art.

The People of the Sea by D. Uluadluak
Authors: Campbell Sandy 
Published: October 2017

Uluadluak, Donald. The People of the Sea, illustrated by Mike Motz, Inhabit Media, 2017The People of the Sea is a recollection by the late Inuit elder, Donald Uluadluak, of seeing an arnajuinnaq or a sea person, while he and his friends played on the beach near Arviat. The story is a simple retelling of the adventure which highlights the presence of sea-people in Inuit culture. Unlike the vicious mermaids or tuutaliit of books such as Kiviuq and the Mermaids, who have frightening appearances and want to destroy kayaks and kill hunters, the sea-people in this story seem benign and simply curious. Mike Motz has drawn them as almost-expressionless creatures who look like fair-skinned women with long dark hair and facial tattoos – just as Uluadluak describes them. The two-page images are multi-coloured and do a good job of reflecting the sea and tundra environments. Text is overprinted on the images. The text is simple and comprehensible to the intended audience of 5 to 7 year-olds, but is above their reading level, so an adult would need to read this book aloud. The People of the Sea would also be appropriate for upper elementary children who are interested in traditional myths and legends. Highly recommended for school libraries and public libraries.

Little Bunny's Own Storybook by M. Welwood
Authors: Hamonic Laura 
Published: October 2017

Welwood, Margaret. Little Bunny's Own Storybook, illustrated by Nataly Vits, Bomars Ventures, 2017.Margaret Welwood tells the story of a little bunny, who wants to spend the day at his favourite place, the library. Unfortunately, it is closed, and he must find another way to occupy himself. The little bunny feels sad because he does not want to play outside or with his toys, but then has the idea to make his own book. He collects paper, crayons, glue, and paint, and goes about writing his own story. The little bunny spends the day busily working on it. Then he reads his new book to his parents, who love the story. Finally, the little bunny encourages the reader to write their own stories and create their own books.This book has gentle, watercolour illustrations that give an almost dream-like quality to the book. Most pages are dominated with browns, greens, and blues. Each illustration fills a single page with the text written in a soft white bubble that overlays the images. The images are very pretty, but they do not add more information to the book, beyond what can be gleaned from the text itself.The text is an interesting combination of simple structure and rhyme scheme with complex and advanced vocabulary. The second and fourth line of every page rhyme, which gives the book a pleasant and familiar lilt. However, because of the use of words like “antidote,” the language seems somehow discordant. This book indicates that it is intended for children aged 3 to 8, but the vocabulary would likely be too difficult for 3-year-olds, and the simple story line would likely be uninteresting for 8-year-olds. As a result, I would recommend it more for children aged 5 to 6. The book is clearly meant to convey the pleasures of reading and the library, as well as creating and sharing. As a result, I would recommend this book for public libraries.

Special Issue on Biomedical Applications
Authors: Mizutani Masayoshi , Kuriyagawa Tsunemoto 
Published: October 2017

Interdisciplinary research that integrates medical science, biotechnology, materials science, mechanical engineering, and manufacturing has seen rapid progress in recent years. Not only fundamental research into biological functions but also the development of clinical approaches to treating patients are being actively carried out by experts in different fields. For example, artificial materials, such as those used in orthopedic surgery and dental implants, are being used more widely in medical treatments. In the area of minimally invasive surgery using X-rays, CT, and MRI, medical devices possessing radiolucent and nonmagnetic properties are playing a major role. Medical auxiliary equipment, such as wheelchairs, prosthetic feet, and other objects used to supplement medical treatment, is also critical. To assure that such advances continue into the future, material development and manufacturing processes should eventually satisfy the requirements of medical and biological applications, which are being debated by experts in different fields.
The applicable materials should have excellent specific strength and rigidity, high biocompatibility, and good formability. The various needs for material characteristics and functions make interdisciplinary research essential. Mechanical engineering and manufacturing technologies should be further developed to solve problems involved in the establishment of basic principles by integrating the knowledge of materials science, medical science, biology, chemistry, and other fields.
This special issue addresses the latest research advances into the biomedical applications of different manufacturing technologies. This covers a wide area, including biotechnologies, biomanufacturing, biodevices, and biomedical technologies. We hope that learning more about these advances will enable the readers to share in the authors’ experience and knowledge of technologies and development.
All papers were refereed through careful peer reviews. We would like express our sincere appreciation to the authors for their submissions and to the reviewers for their invaluable efforts, which have ensured the success of this special issue.
Mini Special Issue on Machining of Deformable Parts
Authors: Teramoto Koji , Kaneko Jun’ichi 
Published: October 2017

The machining of deformable parts is both an old and new problem. Because the standard procedures for machining operations implicitly assume a rigid workpiece and ideal chip removal, workpiece deformation has been considered a disturbance in machining operations. Due to the increasing need for lightweight and compact products, deformable parts, such as thin-structured parts and soft materials, are now widely utilized. For the effective and accurate production of deformable parts, die-less direct machining of deformable parts is a promising approach because of its applicability to various materials and shapes. This technical trend has increased the attentions given to the machining of deformable parts.
This special issue addresses advanced research done on the machining of deformable parts. This covers investigations into non-metallic parts machining, the estimation of fixed-parts deformation, and deformation analyses for thin-structured parts.
We would like to express our sincere appreciation to the authors and reviewers, whose invaluable efforts have made the publication of this special issue possible. We hope that this special issue will trigger further research on the machining of deformable parts, leading to advances.

Community Consensus: Don’t Kill the Chickens, Build Community Consensus
Authors: Spady Darcy

President's column
What is that smell?!
As a small boy, after doing the chores on one sunny summer day, I was happy to have a farm to run around on with lots of distractions. Life was grand, and the farm was my oyster.
Suddenly, there was this awful smell like rotten eggs wafting from the field. The nearby drilling rig was in operation but something unexpected had happened, and the crew was reacting to the situation. Dad was not sure what to do but was quite concerned about his 5,000 chickens. Chickens, like canaries in coal mines, are quite fragile when it comes to gases in the air. There was no way he could isolate the barn from the smell, so he gathered up the family and, similar to what you would do in a prairie storm, we went to the safest place in the farmhouse to wait it out: the basement.
Now, most of you reading this story know exactly what was going on, and—as I am still alive to relay the story—the worst case did not occur. Not a single chicken died, and more importantly, not a single member of the Spady farm family succumbed to the killer hydrogen sulfide gases gathering in the low spots, such as the basement.
Not much was ever said about the incident, and I am not sure if Dad ever followed up with the company man on the rig. We were pretty happy to have the novelty of a drilling rig on our farm, and benefited from the surface payments (royalty in Alberta at the time, as now, was generally held by the government). When I grew up it was a normal sight to see large piles of bright yellow sulfur byproduct at nearby gas plants awaiting shipment for agricultural use. This was all part of the new and exciting world of oil and gas that was eclipsing agriculture as the new provider of local jobs. I still drive the farm equipment around that old wellhead when I help with the crop seeding and harvesting. We have co-existed quite nicely for 50 years.
Technology Update: New Antifoam Additive Shows Superior Ability To Reduce Air Entrainment in Cement Slurry
Authors: Cabori L. , Abrams B. , Miller C. 
Published: October 2017

Technology Update
Zonal isolation is a critical part of wellbore construction. To achieve zonal isolation, cement must be properly mixed before pumping downhole. Air entrainment that occurs during mixing can lead to errors in cement density readings. The use of powder antifoaming additives can enable a reduced level of air entrainment in the matrix of the cement slurry, but often requires liquid defoaming additives to reduce the surface air entrainment.
The X-Air P cement powder antifoam, developed by Hexion, is designed to prevent air entrainment in cement systems. The reduced air entrainment achieved results in an improved density control for a more accurately mixed slurry. The additive uses a unique chemistry that has been proven in the field to be at least 50% more efficient than an alternative, widely available commercial formulation, with more stable cement slurries achieved as a result.
The Hexion cement antifoam additive (CAA) is applicable in a variety of cement formulations, including those that contain dispersants, accelerators, retarders, and fluid-loss additives. The CAA is a free-flowing powder that is stable in wide temperature and humidity ranges and resists clumping. Its performance may also eliminate the need for a liquid defoamer on location.
Development and Testing
Following the effort that identified the need for a more effective powder antifoam, extensive laboratory testing was performed by in-house domain experts, service company specialists, and other third-party laboratories. Initial internal performance testing involved mixing the CAA at 0.1% by weight of cement (BWOC) into Portland cement, blending it with water and common cement additives, and measuring the density of the slurry. Portland cement classes A, C, G, and H were tested.
Variations of fluid-loss additives, dispersants, and accelerators were used. The same test procedure was followed with the use of an alternative commercial formulation. The results in Fig. 1 show that the CAA had measurably lower air entrainment than the alternative mixture, which led to more consistent results with a variety of cement additives. Third-party testing showed that the CAA had negligible effects on rheology, free water, thickening time, compressive strength, and fluid loss.
Frac Hits Reveal Well Spacing May be Too Tight, Completion Volumes Too Large
Authors: Jacobs Trent 
Published: October 2017

Thanks to the advent of high-speed drilling in the US shale sector, the effects of so-called frac hits on production and well economics is becoming more important than ever. It means the clock is running for shale producers to figure out how to mitigate the implications of this well-to-well interference issue before they drill too many wells too close together.
Multiple perspectives on the topic were presented at this year’s Unconventional Resources Technology Conference in Austin, Texas. Included among them was a technical paper authored by engineers at Shell that used a simple capital expenditure formula to illustrate the financial risks involved with getting the spacing question wrong.
According to the paper’s authors, if a shale producer has an inventory of 2,000 640-acre drilling sections, and each new well costs $5 million, then adding just a single unneeded well to each section would cost the operator $10 billion.
In a separate paper also delivered at the conference, Schlumberger highlighted the other downside to suboptimal spacing: poorer than expected production. The company analyzed IHS data from 300 horizontal wells in the Avalon Shale of the Delaware Basin and found that child wells (the youngest wells on a pad site) were almost 30% less productive compared with parent wells.
“[Operators] see that the child well does not produce as much as the parent wells—or they see that when the child well is drilled, there is a negative impact on the parent well,” explained Foluke Ajisafe, a production and stimulation engineer at Schlumberger who led the study.
The driving factors she cited were how production over time creates stress rotation and leads to pressure depletion zones, known as pressure sinks. The paper describes two types of frac hits: one is a child well fracture that grows within a pressure sink and moves toward the parent well. The other involves a “stress vortex” that “can channel a fracture” as stress orientations change and align.
3D Simulator Predicts Realistic Mud Displacement in Deviated and Horizontal Wells
Authors: Carpenter Chris 
Published: October 2017

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 184677, “New-Generation 3D Simulator Predicts Realistic Mud Displacement in Highly Deviated and Horizontal Wells,” by P.M.J. Tardy, N.C. Flamant, E. Lac, A. Parry, C. Sri Sutama, and S.P. Baggini Almagro, Schlumberger, prepared for the 2017 SPE/IADC Drilling Conference and Exhibition, The Hague, The Netherlands, 14–16 March. The paper has not been peer reviewed.
Over the past several decades, the industry has dedicated considerable attention to the topic of mud displacement. For deeper wells with complex trajectories, such as highly deviated or horizontal wells, conventional 2D annular-displacement simulator models face limitations. The complete paper discusses the advancements in mud-displacement simulation that overcome the limitations of the previous-generation simulator and provide a more-realistic simulation in highly deviated and horizontal wells.
Introduction
The 2D mud-displacement simulator is now a standard in the industry. Nonetheless, because of the growing complexity of well geometries, some of its limitations have become apparent.
First, the simulation work flow considers fluid displacement in the annulus only and neglects what happens as fluids travel down the pipe. The assumption is that different fluids are perfectly separated inside the casing, even after hundreds or thousands of meters. In reality, without a mechanical separator, such separation is physically impossible.
Second, as a matter of performance optimization, the simulator was implemented to simulate only half the annulus, assuming symmetrical flow in the other half. This assumption prevents the determination of azimuthal flow, or flow around the casing, which is of great importance in deviated and horizontal wells with high-density-contrast fluids.
A third limitation is related to the determination of the annulus geometry. The widespread soft-string centralization model used to determine casing eccentricity assumes that standoff is always oriented in the direction of gravity. When a 3D wellbore is considered, it becomes necessary to consider 3D displacements and not just those in the vertical plane. Otherwise, unrealistic mud-displacement results can be obtained.
Simulation Work Flow
A complex simulation work flow must be followed to obtain cement-slurry placement in the annulus at the end of the operation.
The first step consists of running a hydraulics simulation of the operation together with a temperature simulator. This step accounts for the U-tubing effect and provides the position of the free surface in the pipe and the resulting flow rate in the annulus. In addition, the temperature simulation also allows accounting for the downhole properties of fluids, which are often temperature- and pressure-dependent. All these results are needed as input for the displacement simulators.
