Under these scenarios, the increased dividend represents only 11% - 13% of funds flow and when combined with our strong balance sheet and high netback/low decline asset base, our sustainability remains firmly intact. In 2022, with preliminary forecasted corporate production of 120,000 boe/d and our expectations of benchmark commodity prices between US$55 - $65/bbl WTI and C$2.50/GJ AECO, Whitecap anticipates annual funds flow of $950 million - $1.1 billion and discretionary funds flow (after capital and dividends) of $250 - $400 million. Including the dividend increase, Whitecap's 2021 dividend will equate to only 12% of funds flow based on current strip pricing. The monthly dividend will be increased from $0.01508 to $0.01625 per common share which equates to $0.195 per common share annually and will be effective beginning with the June dividend, payable in July 2021. Return of capital to shareholders is a priority for Whitecap, and our board of directors has approved an 8% increase to our monthly dividend. ![]() We are forecasting discretionary funds flow after capital and dividends in excess of $200 million in the first half of 2021 which will be used to further strengthen our balance sheet. ![]() With the exceptional Montney wells results, outperformance from our existing assets, along with commodity prices higher than our US$60/bbl WTI forecast, we are confident in our ability to generate significant free funds flow in 2021 and beyond.

Our non-operated well (0.5 net) has been on production since late March and is currently producing at 1,000 boe/d (75% oil and NGLs). Our operated 13-1 (0.7 net) well has been on production since early April and is currently producing at a rate of 2,300 boe/d (70% oil and NGLs).

It’s legitimately refreshing to see that Xbox is able to recognize what it has in its back pocket with this frankly phenomenal studio, which brings me to my next point.Īrkane is known for developing immersive sims, which, while excellent, have never really managed to meander into the mainstream. Arkane signed off and stole the show with what I reckon is the most exciting game from all of E3 so far, and it did it because nobody else can do it like it can. Not Playground Games with Fable, which wasn’t even there. Arkane was the studio given the showcase’s coveted final spot, Not 343 Industries with the objectively bigger Halo Infinite. It’s not all about sales figures, though, and Xbox clearly knows and respects this. I doubt Prey will ever be as commercially successful as any God of War game, and Deathloop will sell fewer copies than Horizon Forbidden West later this year. Sure, not as many people have played Dishonored as The Last of Us Part 2. Arkane is remarkably incomparable to anything else, which is likely why yesterday’s Xbox showcase concluded with Redfall as the encore. It would be easy for me to say that Arkane is Microsoft’s answer to Sony’s legacy studios like Sony Santa Monica and Naughty Dog, but that’s not accurate. Admittedly, I felt almost as confused at the end of the trailer as I did at the beginning, if not significantly more so, but that’s not a bad thing. Yesterday’s trailer introduced us to our four playable characters - Layla Ellison, Devinder Crousley, Remi de la Rosa, and Jacob Boyer - and featured some preliminary details on the world Redfall’s story transpires in. I wasn’t sure what Arkane Austin was going to get up to next, although it certainly wasn’t this. And yet - and yet - these universes continue to make sense in the most perfect way purely because the people at Arkane are the best in the business. To be completely honest, nothing about them should make much sense either due to how hodgepodge their aesthetic, narrative, genre, and just about every other conceivable descriptor or qualifier are. ![]() ![]() What I mean is that nothing about these games is easily or readily understood in some kind of overtly gratifying way. I don’t mean bad working conditions - Arkane delayed Deathloop to consciously avoid crunch. They’re confronting because they are challenging, which is a residual atmospheric context from the conditions they were created under. ![]() From the inherent mystery of Dishonored’s gritty, magic-filled dystopia to the vacuous but somehow oppressively small crannies and corridors of Prey’s Talos 1, these universes often feel as if they’ve been designed with the core brief of being as close to impossible as possible.

Now we’ve finally had a look, I can’t stop thinking about that one specific claim: “At Arkane, there is really this refusal to accept that something is impossible.” This is the first title we’ve seen from the enigmatic studio since Prey and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider in 2017, which means it has been under wraps for around four years. While Bakaba is currently spearheading Arkane’s Lyon branch, Arkane Austin’s Harvey Smith is the man at the helm of Redfall, the latest game to be revealed by one of Microsoft’s most singular - if not the most singular - developers. ![]() File sharing has none of the drawbacks of e-mail.

The overlap between city, county and state emergency response creates confusion that can be exploited at a crime scene. Bluffing strength and allowing that bluff to get called creates a believable fiction that lets the person across the table think they actually have something on you.īureaucracy is a spy's best friend. An overt show of weakness is transparent. It's kind of like the grass always being greener, only in reverse.Įvery interrogation is a struggle between two parties for control, but when forward progress depends on you giving up this control, you have to be careful. For prisoners who want to believe that they've hit rock bottom, the idea that their circumstances could get even worse is a powerful motivator. The threat of rendition is usually more persuasive than the fear of immediate torture. So you don't settle until you find the perfect spot, you take special care to create the right ambiance and set the mood, and then you wait for the best moment to pop the question. You want to get it right on the first try. Interrogating a hostile prisoner is a little like proposing marriage. Meanwhile, Sam and Jesse try to break Kendra.

Jimi Hendrix was also known for destroying his guitars and amps. Jeff Beck, then a member of the Yardbirds, reluctantly destroyed a guitar in the 1966 film Blowup after being told to emulate the Who by director Michelangelo Antonioni. VH1 later placed this event at number ten on their list of the twenty Greatest Rock and Roll Moments on Television.

The most famous episode of this occurred during the Who's debut on U.S. Keith Moon, the Who's drummer, was also known for destroying his drum set. A student of Gustav Metzger, Townshend saw his guitar smashing as a kind of auto-destructive art. Rolling Stone Magazine included his smashing of a Rickenbacker guitar at the Railway Tavern in Harrow and Wealdstone in September 1964 in their list of "50 Moments That Changed Rock & Roll". This piece of performance art inspired guitarist Pete Townshend of the Who, who was the first guitar-smashing rock artist. Page threw his guitar off stage and kicked it out of the ICA’s front door and down Dover Street until it broke totally apart. The artists who gathered around this art movement and its development were opposed to the senseless destruction of human life and landscapes engendered by the Vietnam war.ĭuring the Festival of Misfits in 1962, Fluxus-artist Robin Page performed his event named "Guitar Piece". Two years later, New York City hosted the second Destruction in Art Symposium at Judson Church in Greenwich Village. During the course of the symposium, Raphael Montañez Ortiz performed a series of seven public destruction events, including his piano destruction concerts, which were filmed by both American Broadcasting Company and the BBC. According to the event's press release, the principal objective of DIAS was "to focus attention on the element of destruction in Happenings and other art forms, and to relate this destruction in society." Two events were scheduled to occur throughout London. In London, 1966, a group of artists from around the world came together to participate in the first Destruction in Art Symposium (DIAS). Nam June Paik's "One for Violin Solo", performed on 16 June 1962, featured Paik very slowly and intently lifting a violin, then smashing it with one blow on a table. Jazz musician Charles Mingus, known for his fiery temper, reportedly smashed his $20,000 bass onstage in response to audience hecklers at New York's Five Spot. Several contemporary musicians, including Annea Lockwood, Yōsuke Yamashita, and Diego Stocco, have incorporated piano burning in their compositions. Jerry Lee Lewis may be the first rock artist to have destroyed his equipment on stage, with several, possibly erroneous, stories of him destroying and burning pianos in the 1950s. US country musician Ira Louvin was famous for smashing mandolins that he deemed out-of-tune. ![]() ![]() In 1956, on the Lawrence Welk Show, a zoot-suited performer billed as "Rockin' Rocky Rockwell" did a mocking rendition of Elvis Presley's hit song " Hound Dog."

"These are large companies, and we believe their mindset is to receive fiat instead of crypto," Zielke says. (BitPay sends them the fiat equivalent, mostly in dollars or euros, within one business day.) Some of the big-name consumer companies using BitPay include Microsoft, AT&T, Camping World, and WeWork.īut before DOGE-holders conclude that these big names have all gone gaga for Dogecoin, there are two big BitPay caveats: Every merchant plugged into BitPay is set up by default to accept all 11 cryptocurrencies BitPay supports, which means that many of the merchants accepting DOGE didn't specifically choose to accept it and Zielke says the majority of BitPay merchants still choose to have their crypto immediately converted to fiat currency. I expect it to continue to grow, and that utility will get greater." And when you combine a strong community with low fees, that’s a great recipe. ![]() It also has an advantage Bitcoin or Ethereum doesn’t necessarily have at this time: Dogecoin has low fees.

"B ecause it has climbed in our network as fast as it has, there is utility there. ![]() "Very quickly it’s become a material coin for us," says BitPay CMO Bill Zielke. Just two months ago, in March, DOGE made up merely 3.3% of volume, and was 7.8% of volume in April. But BitPay data backs up Cuban's big talk about DOGE catching on for payments.īitPay, which enables merchants to accept cryptocurrency as payment, tells Decrypt that Dogecoin is now its fourth cryptocurrency by total payment volume (after Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ethereum) and has ballooned to 12.6% of its transaction volume. The premise sounds absurd to many, since Dogecoin was created in 2013 purely as a joke, and its GitHub code page was stagnant for years. "People are popping up all the time to be retailers or merchants for Dogecoin," he said. Dogecoin developer Ross Nicoll told Decrypt that Musk's aim is to make Dogecoin easy enough to use for a cup of coffee.Ĭuban, meanwhile, said earlier this month at the Ethereal Virtual Summit powered by Decrypt that Dogecoin is " becoming more of a utility in terms of as a currency." Cuban added that he's been "talking to BitPay a lot" and that the cryptocurrency payments provider was in the process of onboarding more vendors to accept the coin. Musk has been talking to Dogecoin developers-as he tweeted and as Decrypt reported in depth-about how to make the coin faster for everyday payments. Elon Musk and Mark Cuban, two of Dogecoin's most famous fans, have been publicly pushing the idea that the meme token is becoming a legitimate utility for payments. ![]() ![]() Do not duplicate in any form without permission. So we did and then we kind of got back to being a good team again." I knew then that after '88 that it was going to be worse in '89 if I didn't make some more changes. We started getting some guys that helped us. That's when I realized that we had to make some changes, and thank goodness the administration and George did.

But we didn't, and then the team was starting to change a little bit after that season and then the next year we were better, but the team was going downhill in some positions. Had we just been able to win one of those first two and one of those next three we would have been in contention. ![]() We missed a field goal to lose to Dallas at home and we were 0-2 and then we lost three replacement games. We lost our first couple of games, which was awful. We still had a good team at the end of the year. "We weren't prepared for (the strike) and it didn't go well. But we eliminated them from the playoffs the next two years. If we had a few breaks here and there, that game could have gone the other way. That '84 49ers team, that's the best team they ever had in San Francisco. And then we played pretty well the next week. A team divided against itself can break down at any moment. If I have affected someone in a positive way, that means a lot to me. The time to worry is before you place the bet - not after the wheel is spinning. We played really well on defense and we scored enough to win. Bill Parcells Quotes and Sayings. After the game I'm saying, 'Parcells, you can do this.' That was probably the game that was the most important in my tenure at the Giants in terms of my confidence escalating. That was a big game, because it helped my confidence. Duane Charles Bill Parcells (born August 22, 1941) is an American former football coach who served as a head coach in the National Football League (NFL). But we had every psychological thing going for us there. They had beaten us very badly (33-12) during the season in the same stadium. Beating the Rams was a big confidence builder for us in Anaheim. We had a little slump in there, too, but we kind of recovered from that (winning five of six games) and played a little bit better.
