#1 White paper & Manifesto
Starting from the beginning
We remember very clearly May 17, 2017. It has remained etched in our memories. At 3pm that day, two young Spanish people aged 20 and 21 (age is important here, since it made us totally nuts at that time), launched their fundraising campaign to finance a project that would soon allow everyone to "simply" create their own decentralized organization. The rest, we all know it; for a moment when, each behind our computers, we exclaimed, witnessing the deep success of the ICO; "Shit, this is actually going to work!"
How could we explain Aragon's birth and success? Obviously, through the professionalism of its team and a thorough knowledge of the investment environment. But is that all?
Two weeks have passed since the AGP-34, officializing both Aragon Black and Aragon Black Blog, and we wanted to dedicate our first article to Aragon itself, but without listing the major advances of Aragon during this year 2019, or even presenting their future projects.
We wanted to come back on that moment when our team, the same at that time, had started discussing Aragon, exchanging on this tiny and so distant project, whose values were ours and who had the audacity to call themselves Aragon. "At last!" It was happening! A little black human heart beating in unison was coming out of the shadows, with a big foot of nose to the established order, saying, "Don't really like the way it's going here, we'll be a little further ahead if you're looking for us".
We wanted to analyse the reason that led us to follow Aragon, look back at that moment we decided to answer the call. In order to talk better about what is coming and what we are looking forward in the near future.
Luis Iván Cuende & Jorge Izquierdo, co-fonders of Aragon project
Part One : The Aragon Manifesto
"We seek to use technology to lift people from oppression. To be successful, we must keep our products open, understandable, and easy to use for everyone". This is the closing sentence of the Aragon Manifesto. A programme is affirmed there: alongside production must coexist a desire for openness, understanding and facility. In this sense, the Aragon Manifesto clearly responds to the writing of a manifesto: it is at the same time an object of communication, theorization and clarification. The message is clear: a fight for freedom. The method also: the new governance involved by the DAO. What remains is to spread this message as clearly as possible, to the widest possible audience. The manifesto is to a wider audience what the white paper is to the Blockchain community.

The Aragon Manifesto responds to the very characteristics of the manifesto as an object of language and literary and political genres. It sets out a program. It is not only an object of communication: it articulates a political will. We know that the term manifesto, like the term avant-garde, which it is often correlated to, comes from the military and political fields. It suffices to read the Aragon Manifesto to note a totalizing ambition as well as a strictly programmatic rhetoric. Similarly, the beginning of the manifesto opens with a direct opposition between two visions of the Internet and technology, one focused on surveillance and manipulation, the other - claimed by Aragon - as open-source, cross-border, non-violent, collaborative and decentralized.
The manifesto as a genre really emerged in the 19th century. Its prototypical form, drawing up at the same time a history, an indictment but above all a program, is the Communist Manifesto. Then come the artistic and cultural forms of the manifesto, whose most famous productions will be signed by avant-garde artistic movements such as futurism, Dadaism and surrealism. The history of the 20th century could be read through the gigantic production of manifestos. At the same time, a kind of technological manifesto has also developed, to which the Aragon Manifesto seems to belong. One of the definitions in the manifesto, however, is this: it is an escort text. In other words: it accompanies an object, a production, whether it is a work of art, a political project or a new technology.
Blockchains, like DAOs, are technologies. They are developed. What developers do, in a programming language, is both programmatic and performative. They are makers. In this sense, perhaps they are fulfilling the old avant-garde dream of creating both language and things. But a technology does not exist without the community that supports it, and even less without the users who will make it exist. What Black Monthly section will propose will be a continuation of a manifesto: based on the Aragon Manifesto, particularly on its concluding sentence, it will seek to theorize, analyze, share the potentialities opened by the blockchain and Aragon. It will seek to open up and create the debate.
Aragon Manifesto as a rhetorical perspective
"To put out a manifesto you must : want ABC to fulminate against 1, 2, 3" writes Tristan Tzara in 1918 in the DADA Manifesto. He parodies what makes up certain constants of the manifesto: the proposals, and therefore the program; the opposition; the imprecation.
Dada Manifesto, Tristan Tzara, 1918
It is important to note, concerning Aragon Manifesto, this manifesto's style is neither threatening nor aggressive. It does not proclaim any tabula rasa. At best, it merely delimits, at the outset, an opposition between its open and decentralized technological project and that of an Internet of control and surveillance. The Aragon Manifesto's proposal is proceeding serenely; probably because the project has a solid foundation in an underlying technology, very real and pragmatic. Nevertheless, the rest of the discourse borrows from the manifesto's genre many rhetorical and stylistic motives, including: the use of a "collective" we, symbol of a group of thought:
We believe the fate of humanity will be decided at the frontier of technological innovation.
a use of the Gnostic present, proposing truths and assuming one's choices:
Decentralized technologies provide users unparalleled power to transact and interact with a level of security never seen before.
an elliptical unfolding of the origin, history and future of an organization:
For the first time in history, thanks to blockchain technology and smart contracts, we can now create fully decentralized organizations, which are truly autonomous and unstoppable.
an almost messianic vision of the project:
We seek to use technology to lift people from oppression.
a sentence creation resembling to a slogan:
This is the Enlightenment of the century.
a network of concepts and values:
Thus, Aragon is a fight for freedom. Aragon empowers freedom by creating liberating tools that leverages decentralized technologies.
Part Two : Jorge & Luis interview about the Aragon Manifesto
Hello Luis and Jorge, and thank you for answering our questions on the Aragon Manifesto. Firstly, when did you draft the first version of this document and at what stage were you in the development of Aragon?
Jorge: The original white paper had already been written and the project was around 18 months old. We published the Manifesto when we were communicating the vision and the rationale behind doing the Flock program.
Luis: Yes, there was already a community with clear values built around the initial vision
When you decided to write the Manifesto, what was your first wish / ambition? What did you had in mind? What did you expect of it?
Luis: We wrote it to create a one-page doc that anyone could read in 2 mins, and know what Aragon was standing for. But also to "rank" the values, so in case there's a dispute in the community, we can always come back to the manifesto and do right.
Jorge: Exactly, even though the Aragon Network is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization, we felt that it was very important to lay out what we thought the values of the Network were as the community was growing. Other communities that don't have an explicit set of values can have major disagreements when it is already too late for everyone to agree on an ordered list of values. By having a Manifesto early on, it helps set the tone for new community members. The Manifesto was ratified by ANT holders in the summer of 2018: https://github.com/aragon/governance/issues/21#issuecomment-407474503
Is there a manifesto that already had an influence on you at that time?
Luis: Mozilla's was an inspiration
Jorge: I'd also say Cypherpunk's Manifesto. These are two amazing manifestos in different ways, that were definitely an inspiration for the Aragon Manifesto.
Do you think we can consider blockchain as an avant-garde, why? If so, how would you like people to consider Aragon?
Jorge: Absolutely, it has given people the tools to build crazy things that were impossible before which keeps inspiring people to build new interesting concepts. I'd like people to think of Aragon as a liberating technology that allows people to decide how to organize and who to organize with for whatever goal they want to pursue.
Luis: I would also like people to consider Aragon as a hope, one that has been stolen from us in the last decades.
In the manifesto you say that "We are committed to creating collaboration mechanisms in which violence is not only disincentivized, but impossible". What is your "relationship with the enemy" (state, capitalism, etc...)? Is there a specific offensive will in Aragon project and if so could you explain it?
Luis: The relationship is tricky: some nation states are complete enemies, while some others are actually pushing forward jurisdictional competition and therefore freedom forward. Although they will always be nation states, with everything that means.
Jorge: Nation states have very rigid templates for what types of organizations can be created and how these organizations have to function. This has stagnated improving our capacity to make collective decisions in a more complex world (as it is not possible to try out new models). Aragon completely breaks this limitation by giving people the freedom to organize in any way and at the same time be completely sovereign as Aragon organizations cannot be seized by anyone.
Why and when did you decide to call the project « Aragon »?
Jorge: In January 2017 and as a reference to the anarchic movement in the Spanish region of Aragón.
Luis: You can read the article here if you want : https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/wiki/Anarchist_Aragon.html
Aragon Manifesto has been a strong image for many of us. Would you say that the will you put in that choice has been carried and still exists in the project today?
Luis: Indeed :)
Jorge: Absolutely! I have been personally surprised by how many people actually refer to the Manifesto when a tough/controversial decision has to be made.
Let's focus a bit more on the Manifesto itself and on it's values that Aragon Black Blog aims to carry :) At the beginning of the Aragon Manifesto, you present two sides of the Internet and technology, one open and liberating, the other a monitoring and manipulation tool. Should Aragon Black Blog only undertake to defend the first? Or also lead a controversial criticism of the second?
Luis: I think both. I see criticism as valid if you provide an alternative. And we do have an alternative now with Aragon.
Jorge: Agreed, both are very important. A lot of people are not aware of the consequences of what the second can have in the medium term. Those who understand the threat are more likely to use these liberating technologies at the beginning while they mature and encourage other people to use them.
The manifesto, which generally presents the work of an avant-garde, has a total ambition and it's program touches all spheres of society. As Aragon Black Blog is aiming to carry the Manifesto's will, should it introduce these ambitions, go into fields as different as art, law, science, where decentralized governance can be applied?
Luis: That makes total sense. We need to tell this narrative to people, and there are many different ways to connect to different people in different fields
Jorge: Absolutely, getting minds from different backgrounds exposed to these ideas is incredibly important not only for the value that they can get from using Aragon, but also for the feedback that we can get from people that aren't so technology focused.
In the Aragon Manifesto, you conclude : "To be successful, we must keep our products open, understandable, and easy to use for everyone" ; how would you like the Aragon Black Blog to make these products understandable?
Jorge: I think from the product point of view we need to keep improving in making Aragon as easy to use as possible, which means abstracting away a lot of complicated and confusing blockchain concepts. From a content perspective, presenting stories of regular people that use Aragon to create and manage interesting organizations, explaining how they set it up and how they use it day to day will also make the product more accessible.
Luis: Totally! Everyone buys the vision, the manifesto, the Fight for Freedom video... now, we need to translate that into actionable items !
Both Manifesto and white paper
There is a typology of manifesto discourses. We will find there as well the pamphlet, the polemic, the presentation or the essay. In the same way, the universe of the blockchain has reappropriated a whole grey literature - institutional, commercial, political - to build a whole typology for its communication and promotion. The most technical writing, intended in particular for developers, is called yellow paper, while white paper, first used in politics at the beginning of the 20th century, explains a technological project in a clear, structured and understandable way. This is the famous case of Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper, Bitcoin: a Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System. Between the two still exists the Beige Paper. However, this grey literature remains as long as it is technical. Which is why its appearance is also followed, in a directly communicative and political aim, by the manifesto. In itself, we can say that the manifesto is the colour on the technical purity of the blockchain, its warmth, the bridge it builds between it and the crowds.
Crypto Anarchist Manifesto and Aragon Manifesto : a brief comparative analysis
Written in 1992 by Timothy C. May, the Crypto Anarchist Manifesto has become a cult text; with a libertarian orientation, the manifesto wishes to draw traditional anarchists' attention to the possibilities offered by computer technologies, particularly encryption, to make discussions anonymous and guarantee the free flow of information. Should this be seen as a common political basis between this project and the blockchain?
The Crypto-anarchist manifesto, Tamara Lise, 2017
The question would require a broad political reflection that we will conduct later, particularly on the distinction between libertarian, libertarianism, liberalism within the Blockchain movement. Because what we mean by blockchain, like the demonstrations that make it concretely exist, are not homogeneous. Nevertheless, the idea of an open and free Internet is shared between the crypto anarchist movement and a project like Aragon. The latter adds - and this is essential - the principle of decentralization. But 25 years have passed between the two. Where Tim May's manifesto and his movement fall directly into political categories (here, anarchists), and refers explicitly to communism ("A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy"), the Aragon Manifesto is apparently free from these political categories of previous centuries. The technological mechanism - in this case the blockchain and the DAO - are prevalent in relation to political discourse. Probably because there is a DAO policy from the outset, technologically speaking.
Manifesto as a DAO-content
In 1960, the Manifesto of the 121 was published, a declaration on the right to insubordination in the Algerian war signed by French intellectuals, artists and academics. Who wrote it? Is it a background, a backdrop? The 121 protestors? Or just Dionys Mascolo and Maurice Blanchot? Rather, in this case, we are witnessing an eclipse of the author's figure demonstrating behind a "us" not only linguistic but also political. We could even define the manifesto as what is written with, together, collectively. The Communist Manifesto is not the work of Marx, but of Marx and Engels, and a single glance at the genesis of the text and the correspondence exchanged between the protesters will show us that such a literary and political object is being co-constructed.
On several points, manifesto and DAO overlap. It should be noted that a DAO is a decentralized and autonomous organization; however, a content can also be a DAO (read this paper). Imagine that a manifesto, as content, as a textual object, at the same time organizational, communicative, political, is written in the form of a DAO-content. The manifesto is a collective object, which tends to display a program in order to organize a data (an artistic object, for example, or a political association). In itself, a DAO is also done collectively, in order to build an organization. There is still decentralization.
Pando Network, which intends to decentralize creation, by proposing a protocol in particular to allow collaborative writing (creation), will precisely propose the writing of the manifesto in the form of DAO-content. That is to say: the writing of the manifesto will be done in collaboration and at the same time will organize the DAO. Better still: the manifesto will go beyond its primary status, i.e. programmatic and communicative, to become a legal document attesting to the autonomous and decentralized organization of a project or team. In short, the very nature of the manifesto is changed, and so to speak improved.
Part Three : Aragon Black Blog
In 1848, when Friedrich Engels and Karl Marx write the Communist Manifesto, they are aware that this revolutionary text is not so much an affirmation of unity but also the recognition of a common ground bringing together the most resolute fraction of sympathizers in the whole country. The manifesto also illustrates the combination of knowledge and action, while delegating to the revolution itself the mission of reinventing politics while reviving theoretical criticism. What seems to be an act of gathering becomes moreover an act of spreading out, with the certainty that whoever is to be part of the movement, will be able to recognize the call with its own sensitivity and expectations.
This paper is what happens after a manifesto. It's the confirmation of a common ground, a collective struggle that we have decided to lead side by side with Aragon. Our strength does not come from our ability to develop technical tools. Nor does it come from our way of anticipating strategic steps in a roadmap, reappropriating managerial tools, our way of philosophizing or even from our way of feeling an ambient scepticism. Our strength comes from a curiosity and open attitude towards today resistance, from our interest for sensitivity that isn't ours, from our desire to come together around a common hope, from a fear of emptiness and our rage to fill it with anything we can find.
Aragon_Black_Dada-like collage, Nolwenn Jollivet
We consider Aragon Manifesto as an Alpha, and will be referring to it's principal topics through Aragon Black Blog. Our proposal is what follows - Aragon Black Blog will be planning the publication of six official articles through Black Monthly, one at the beginning of each month to the end of the first Flock round - first, this one as an introduction Aragon Manifesto and white papers (9 may), A brief history of decentralization (11 june), Anonymity and transparency (9 july), Reappropriation of Commons (6 august), Bringing back autonomy and collaboration in human work (10 september), and finally, Blockchain and ecology (8 october).
These six topics are a way of thinking together in different fields of practice of blockchain, but all of which putting in honor the construction of tools according to Aragon's values. It will not escape anyone that the "monetary dimension" is deliberately set aside, not that it will not be interrogated through the various articles (the undeniable main interest of blockchain remains the ability of playing with the rules of capital and to invent new ones), but we believe that this question is present in most of the articles, interests, research, today on the blockchain. Our interest is not to ignore it but to put new topics in the balance, and in this manner, bring new thoughts and actors in what we are doing. The goal of Aragon Black Blog is not so much to deepen these different themes, which undoubtedly has already been done by others, in different forms and in different study settings, and surely in a much better and long-form than us. The aim of Aragon Black Blog is to open these questions to a wider audience, allowing outsiders to bring an outside perspective on human issues from which no one should be excluded.
For this matter, the Aragon Black Blog will also publish several other articles through three other sections; Miscellaneous, Book Reviews and Outsiders Insight. We believe that decentralizing governance comes also with a precise interest in making what we do accessible for a wide audience, not only in the practice of blockchain tools but also in the understanding of what we are doing and what futur we are aiming for.

Tactics (タクティクス, Takutikusu) is a Japanese manga series written as a collaboration between Sakura Kinoshita and Kazuko Higashiyama. It was serialized in Comic Blade Masamune. Kinoshita supplied the character "Kantarou", and Higashiyama supplied the character "Haruka". While the manga was previously licensed for released in English in paperback by both ADV Manga and Tokyopop, the manga was only available in English in digital format on JManga for two years before it was no longer accessible.[1]
The animation studio Studio Deen adapted the Tactics manga into a 25-episode anime series, which ran on Japanese television from October 5, 2004 to March 29, 2005. The English dub of the anime was distributed by Manga Entertainment in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
Tactics resumed serialisation on the 18th of January, 2018, as tactics 新説 on pixiv comics.[2]

Set in Japan during the Taishō period (in the anime, the manga is set during the late Meiji period), Tactics is the story of Kantarou Ichinomiya, a young man with the ability to see youkai and other mythical beasts. When he was a child, this ability resulted in him being ostracized by humans. His youkai friends told him that in order to be stronger, he must find the oni-eating tengu. The young Kantarou then vows to find it and name it. By naming one, a human becomes master and the name contract is only broken if the master chooses. As Kantarou grows up, he finds a career as a folklorist and a part-time exorcist, alongside his youkai friend Youko. An assignment leads Kantarou to a mountain where a shrine marks the place where the tengu had been sealed away. Calling upon the tengu by the name Haruka, Kantarou breaks the seal and becomes Haruka's master. As time goes on, Kantarou, Youko, and Haruka develop a close friendship. However, this relationship is threatened by Haruka's returning memories and his yearning to know more about his past.
Kantarou Ichinomiya (一ノ宮勘太郎, Ichinomiya Kantarō)
Voiced by: Kōki Miyata (Japanese); Blake Shepard (English)
Kantarou is a young folklorist and part-time exorcist with an ability to see youkai. Kantarou is highly intelligent and is quite sneaky and manipulative. He is able to trick others into doing what he wants and anticipate their reactions. This trait has resulted in him being called a tactician by Haruka, hence the title of the series. Despite this, Kantarou has a good heart and feels deeply for youkai. Although it is customary for an exorcist to kill youkai, Kantarou chooses to reason with them and sees his line of work as a way to help them. His attitude has been criticized by both Haruka and Sugino, as they feel it may endanger him.
Haruka (春華, Haruka)
Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese); Chris Patton (English)
Haruka is an oni-eating tengu, the strongest of all youkai. Kantarou, having named him, became his master and friend. Haruka has the ability to control lightning. Occasionally, such as when he is attacking oni, Haruka can transfigure into his true youkai form. His nails grow sharper and longer, his fangs grow longer, and his eyes constrict. Usually, he appears as a tall, dark-haired man with black wings that he can either hide or reveal. Haruka is troubled by his lack of memories, inability to eat youkai, and loss of power, which starts to affect his sense of self. Haruka's name under his previous master, an onmyōdō practitioner, was Rin. As Rin, he did not have a good relationship with his master, and it is hinted that she took advantage of his subservient status for sexual purposes.
Youko (ヨーコ, Yōko)
Voiced by: Tomoko Kawakami (Japanese); Luci Christian (English)
Youko is a female kitsune youkai whom Kantarou named. At the beginning of Tactics, Youko had already been living with Kantarou. She is loud and impulsive, and often loses her temper towards Kantaoru. Youko has the ability to make her fox ears appear and disappear at will, and can turn into her fox form if she wishes. Youko is shown to be deeply concerned about the household expenses and pesters Kantarou about finishing his book manuscripts. Before joining Kantarou, Youko was initially a lonely youkai who deceived travellers into thinking she was a member of their family. Youko pretends to be Kantarou's wife, but Kantarou soon reveals her to be a youkai, and invites her to join his household.
Suzu Edogawa (江戸川珠洲, Edogawa Suzu)
Voiced by: Nana Mizuki (Japanese); Jessica Boone (English)
Suzu is a rich teenage girl who constantly helps Katarou on his cases. She first met him in episode 1 and after that usually hangs out in his house. Suzu is often addressed as "Suzu-chan" and she maintains a very close relationship with Youko. She has a crush on Haruka, but often treats Kantarou harshly. Her character was created for the anime, but she has appeared in several of the manga's omake since.
Sugino (スギノ様, Sugino-sama)
Voiced by: Soichiro Hoshi (Japanese); Vic Mignogna (English)
Sugino is a white tengu and the "god" of Sugino Village. As such, he is often called Sugino-sama. Unlike a black tengu, who is born a tengu, a white tengu is originally a powerful, overly-proud human priest or monk who changed into a tengu. Before Kantarou, Sugino had attempted to break Haruka's seal, but failed. Sugino has a great amount of dislike for the human race, having been a human himself. Sugino is married to Muu-chan, a small, green youkai. Upon being asked how they would reproduce, Sugino states that their relationship is platonic. Prior to meeting Muu-chan, Sugino was a cruel character who earned the nickname of 'violent tengu'. His cruelty caused him to be lonely and hate his immortality.
Muu-chan (むーちゃん, Mū-chan)
Voiced by: Omi Minami (Japanese); Monica Rial (English)
Muu-chan is a small, green youkai who is married to Sugino and only says 'Muu'. Muu-chan has the ability to vacuum up demons and spells using its mouth.
Raikou Minamoto (源頼光, Minamoto Raikou)
A handsome young wealthy nobleman, main opponent of series. He is the leader of the government's Demon Extermination Squad. He wants to make Kantarou cancel his name contract with Haruka so Haruka will get his memories back and become the "real" demon eating tengu he wishes to defeat. He hates that Kantarou was able to unseal the demon-eating tengu but he himself could not. He wields Minamoto's Legendary sword. His allies are Watanabe and Ibaragi.
Manga[edit]
The manga was first released in North America by ADV Manga in 2004. Afterwards, the US license was transferred to Tokyopop, who released 8 volumes before they shut down their American branch. Volumes 1–12 were available on JManga until its closure in May 2013.[3]

Dōjinshi[edit]
Kinoshita and Higashiyama form a dōjinshi circle called Mad Cookie Monster. They individually go by the pseudonyms Wasabi Katsuo and Wasabi Maguro, respectively. This circle has released many dōjinshi for their own series, including Tactics, some of them containing explicit yaoi pornography. One of the rarest and best known of these titles is Love Sick, a 72-page dōjinshi containing an illustrated short novel and an explicit yaoi comic, featuring the pairing Haruka x Kantarou. Other dōjinshi based on Tactics are El Principe, which features mild Haruka x Kantarou, and Lil' Crazy, which features Raikou x Haruka.

North America's Next Big Shale Play
By Tsvetana Paraskova - Feb 01, 2018, 3:00 PM CST
The oil price crash of 2014 not only weighed on Canada's oil sands industry, but it also directed more company investment into shorter-cycle shale projects in the U.S. at the expense of more capital- and energy-intensive oil sands production in Canada.
While the oil sands will continue to be a growth story thanks to investments made before the downturn, Canadian energy officials and many oil companies — both Canada-based and supermajors — are increasingly looking to explore and drill in the two largest shale formations, Duvernay and Montney, estimated to hold billions of barrels of light tight oil and trillions of cubic feet of gas.
Currently, Canada's shale oil production is around 335,000 bpd, according to estimates by energy consultancy Wood Mackenzie, quoted by Reuters. This is some 8 percent of total Canadian production, which the National Energy Board (NEB) says was nearly 4.2 million bpd in 2017. Wood Mackenzie expects shale oil production to rise to 420,000 bpd in a decade.
Some two-thirds of Canada's oil production comes from oil sands. In 2017, Canadian oil sands production is expected to have exceeded 2.6 million bpd, according to IHS Markit. Production is expected to continue to grow, thanks to investments made prior to the oil price crash, while future investment is "to remain lower than historical levels", the data and analysis provider said in a report earlier this week.
Investment in new oil sands production capacity has dropped by two-thirds since the oil price crash — from more than $30 billion to just over $10 billion estimated for 2017 — and may fall further this year before starting to recover, IHS Markit says. Related: Goldman: Oil To Top $80 Within Six Months
"Once operational, oil sands facilities are largely unresponsive to the oil price — with production neither ramping up nor ramping down materially," said Kevin Birn, executive director at IHS Markit.
However, it's likely that the investment in mega oil sands projects — sanctioned before the downturn — has ended with the Fort Hills project that started pumping oil this month.
Now oil majors and Canadian companies are looking at the vast shale deposits of the Duvernay Shale in central Alberta and the massive Montney resource play in northwest Alberta and northeast British Columbia.
The NEB has estimated that the Duvernay contains 3.4 billion barrels of marketable light oil and field condensate and nearly 77 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of marketable natural gas. The Montney formation is estimated to be very large with expected volumes of 1.125 billion barrels of marketable oil and 449 Tcf of marketable natural gas.
The Duvernay play could be compared to the Eagle Ford in the U.S., while Montney is unique, and contains several different levels at which oil and gas can be drilled, Mike Johnson, technical leader of hydrocarbon resources for the NEB, told Reuters' Nia Williams.
And oil companies plan to invest more in Canadian shale.
Last year several oil majors sold their oil sands assets, with Shell selling its interests for around $8.5 billion, and ConocoPhillips divesting oil sands assets in a $13.3 billion deal.
However, both companies continue to hold and develop their tight oil assets, and both Shell and Conoco have acreage under development in Duvernay and Montney.
This year, investment in Duvernay will be Shell's second-largest shale investment, second only to the Permian in Texas, the company's spokesman Cameron Yost told Reuters.
Last November, Chevron said that it was moving into development on a portion of its lease holdings in the Kaybob Duvernay area of west-central Alberta, following a successful three-year appraisal program. Related: Are Canadian Oil Prices Set To Rebound?
Calgary-based Encana plans to invest virtually all its anticipated 2018 capital in its core assets, with around 70 percent directed to the Permian and Montney. In Montney, Encana's liquids production more than doubled from Q4 2016 to Q4 2017, driven by a focus on condensate rich wells and the early start-up of some processing plants. The company expects to further grow its liquids production this year.
"Increasingly we are going to see light tight oil and liquids-rich natural gas forming a key part of Alberta's energy future," Alberta's Energy Minister Margaret McCuaig-Boyd told Reuters.
Still, Canada's shale oil patch needs more exploration for drillers to understand the structures of the vast formations. It also has a formidable competitor for investment dollars south of the border, with U.S. shale now in its 2.0 boom. And Canada will has transportation difficulties — not all proposed pipelines to ease Canada's takeaway capacity restrictions will see the light of day, and even if they do, it won't be until 2020.

Space Ship Dazzle"Dazzle" has Book & lyrics by John Gardiner and Music by Andrew Parr and is a brilliantly funny parody of Star Trek, charts the voyage of the Starship Sunburster One on its highly important first mission under the control of dashingly handsome (and doesn't he know it!) Captain Sarn Galactic.
Ray GunOrdered by the President of Homeworld to transport his daughter Dazzle Star, to her finishing school, Captain Sarn and his gallant crew are just tucking into a Chinese takeaway, space style, when they learn that Dazzle Star has been kidnapped by Slimebag the Haemorrhage, an Irish astral pirate!
At the end of Act One we are left wondering why Dazzle has been kidnapped; is Big Olga really Sam Galactic's stepmother? And who is Slimebag? We find the answers to these questions, and more, in Act Two which includes a space warp back to nineteen sixty to encounter Sue Zuki and the Greasers.
After the "Spirit of the Stage" revue, the decision was made to once again do a full scale show, but something that was a little different… "Dazzle" is certainly that… a great cross between movies like Star Trek, and shows like "Return to the Forbidden Planet"!


Cobblers boss Rob Page and midfielder Matt Taylor have been nominated for the Sky Bet League One awards for September.
Page has been nominated in the manager of the month category, and is up against Bury boss Dave Flitcroft, Keith Hill of Rochdale, and a very familiar face in Sheffield United's Chris Wilder.
Page, who only took over at Sixfields in the summer, has made the list after a successful September for the Cobblers that saw them win four out of five matches, scoring 13 goals in the process.
The wins came over Milton Keynes Dons (3-2), Walsall (2-0), Southend United (4-0) and Swindon Town (3-1), while the one defeat was a 3-1 reverse at Chesterfield.
Of his rivals, Bury won five out of five under Flitcroft, former Cobblers boss Wilder steered the Blades to four wins and a draw, and Hill guided Dale to three wins, a draw and a defeat.
Central midfielder Taylor is up against Bradford City goalkeeper Colin Doyle, Scunthorpe United winger Josh Morris and Bury striker James Vaughan.
Taylor caught the eye in September with his general play and three goals, two of which were top quality free-kicks in the wins over Milton Keynes and Southend.
Bradford's Doyle has impressed between the sticks while Morris, who won this award in August, has continued his brilliant form with five more goals in September and Vaughan has notched four times for the Shakers.
The judging panel for the manager award is former Ipswich Town and Scotland manager George Burley, Sky Sports' EFL expert Don Goodman, EFL marketing director Drew Barrand, League Managers' Association director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet football trading manager Paul Lowery.
The panel deciding on the player award is Goodman, Dixon and Lowery.
The winners will be announced at 7am on Friday.


Manafort's guilty plea and the subsequent confirmation that he had agreed to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller in the investigation into the alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Kremlin-linked operatives came as quite a surprise to many, but other details of that plea agreement make much more clear just how low Manafort has been willing to stoop before he got caught.
Charges levied against Manafort included failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiring against the U.S., most notably due to his lobbying on behalf of the Ukrainian government to support Russian-backed candidates. In one of those efforts, Manafort pushed a fake news story about a presidential challenger to Russia's favored candidate in order to cause trouble for him and for the Obama administration.
Part of his efforts included putting pressure on the U.S. government to back a candidate.
"Manafort sought to have the [Obama] Administration understand that 'the Jewish community will take this out on Obama on election day if he does nothing,'" the charging document said.
—his goal to "plant some stink on Tymo"
Predictably, Manafort either had help in this effort from writers and editors at Breitbart or they simply fell for the story. Whether they were duped or complicit, they turned that story into an indictment of Hillary Clinton.
NBC News: According to the criminal information Paul Manafort coordinated with an Israel official to pressure "Obama Jews" to spread a story tarnishing Yulia Tymoshenko, Ukraine's former leader, and an opponent to Manafort's candidate.
Lying about Tymoshenko's views on anti-semitism were not the only fake conspiracies Manafort spread about him. Like Clinton, the Ukrainian presidential challenger also had to contend with ridiculous allegations of murder.
Manafort said it was "very important that we have no connection" in order to distance himself from the story.

Q: Paypal Subscription button mobile layout not working I searched through all the "paypal" related questions and didn't find a response.
So I have a mobile website and I created a Subscription button for a service I am offering.
How do I make this link work on mobile website?
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GFVXMNRBE98NS
on the desktop browser it works perfect but I would like to get this layout:

A: Unfortunately, mobile layout is not supported for Subscription buttons.
For now only merchants integrated with 'Buy Now' buttons or third party shopping carts (using "Cart Upload") will benefit from Mobile PayPal Payments Standard.

None can topple AIADMK Government, asserts CM
Coimbatore : Joining issue with DMK working president M K Stalin, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi Palanisamy today said that AIADMK Government could not be toppled even if 'he tried with crowbar (gadaparai)' leave alone by snapping.
Palanisamy said responding to Stalin's remarks in at DMK's zonal conference at nearby Erode.
The DMK's dream to topple the AIADMK Government would not be realised, he said adding that the Government's priority was people's welfare..
Expressing hope that the Centre would constitute the Cauvery Management Board in four days, Palanisamy said the future course of action would be decided if it failed to do so.
He was speaking at a function at Thonadamuthur, where he, along with Deputy Chief Minister O Paneerselvam, solemnised marriage of 86 couples as part of 70th birthday celebrations of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.
He also inaugurated an integrated drinking water supply project benefiting nearly 2 lakh people in 12 villages and also laid the foundation stone for a flyover from Athupalam to Oppanakara street at a cost of Rs 215 crore.
Panneerselvam said that during Jayalalithaa's period more than 10,700 such marriages were solemnised and also welfare schemes were taken to the doorstep of poor and oppressed people.
Nobody could touch the party, founded by later MG Ramachandran and strengthened like a fort by Jayalalithaa. which got Two leaves, Flag and AIADMK, he added.
Ministers Sengottaian, S P Velumani, Thangamani and Udumalai Radhakrishnan were among those present on the occasion.


Storage units can accommodate almost all things that is up for storage. Almost.
Although some furniture storage in dubai are open to accept whatever the storage unit renters try to put on their facilities, there are some things that are not allowed and prohibited no matter how much the renters insist.
Perishables like food (animal and human food) should not and never be stored in any storage facilities and for good reasons. These perishables will rot and decomposed inside the storage unit and would attract pests and other insects. If not prevented, it might cause infestation in the whole facility.
Some storage facilities allowed canned goods for storage, but just for limited time. These canned goods will also rot once they passed their expiration date. If you want to store perishables, there are cold storage facilities that allow and accommodate such type of produce.
No storage space or facility would allow storage of live animals and pets inside the unit. It is because there is minimal oxygen in the space and it might cause the death of your pets. And the environment is not suited for animal care. Usually, the facilities are dark and isolated. If you leave your pet in the storage unit, it might cause some damage to their psyche. It would be best to leave your pet to an animal shelter where it can be well taken care of.
Also, same with plants. With minimal oxygen and no direct exposure to sunlight, the plants will just wither inside the facility.
Hazardous chemicals are broad and come in different categories. But in terms of storage, hazardous chemicals refers to anything that can be cause damaged to a property or a storage unit. One that falls in this category is combustible chemicals and materials. Although the temperature in a storage facility is controlled, heat and hot weather can still bring some changes inside the unit and might cause some reaction to the combustible chemicals inside.
Security and safety is one of the things that most storage facilities promote, but it doesn't mean that you have to put your high value items on the facility. It would be best to store high value items like pieces of jewelry on a safer storage like your house vault where you can check on these items regularly.


Having started off as such as nice day, it was a shame that the heavens decided to open just before the contest kicked off. A few hours were killed on the mini ramp and at the Lucky Chip burger van before people couldn't wait any longer and started to squeegee the park to begin the contest. Props to those who were first up on the obstacle, while the floor was still pretty untrustworthy. If you've ever skated Mile End when it's wet, you'll know how slippy that place gets.
Early doors it was kept simple, with the leading trick being an ollie, but it wasn't long before the comic commentary from Ben Powell of Sidewalk began to take effect as he baited people into trying harder and harder tricks. Shouts to the guy who landed the fakie heelfip, that was crazy.
A few slams, some tasty tricks (including a kickflip late shove), and the contest was over. Back to the burger van before the obligatory free garb throwout took place in the bowl and it was time to call it a day.

PRESS RELEASE Drilling platform towed into Port of Den Helder after twenty years
Arrival of Paragon C462 marks start of new opportunities for port economy
For the first time in twenty years, the Port of Den Helder welcomed the arrival of an imposing drilling platform at 3 am on Thursday 29 October. The Paragon C462, weighing the equivalent of around six thousand cars, will be undergoing inspection and maintenance work in the Port of Den Helder over the next four to five months, before being redeployed for its next assignment.
"An impressive moment, and an important one for the Port of Den Helder and the entire region," suggested an enthusiastic port director Piet-Hein Kolff. "This project will have a stimulating effect for the entire offshore industry in the northern part of Noord-Holland. It is a step that demonstrates to the market that our port is also suitable for carrying out so-called lifetime extension and maintenance work on platforms installed on the Continental Shelf, just around the corner from here."
Safely stationed
Three tug boats sailed for almost 30 hour towing the behemoth from location E17 in the North Sea, into the harbour, without a single hitch. The more than one hundred metre-high platform is now moored alongside the Nieuwediepkade. "In close consultation with the Port of Den Helder, the Royal Dutch Navy and owner Paragon Offshore, we made every possible effort to allocate a long-term mooring for this platform," explained Wim Schouwenaar, CEO of DHSS based in Den Helder.
The arrival of the drilling platform will generate work for numerous local and regional businesses. Not only DHSS, in 2013 voted Business of the Year, but a whole range of other companies from the region will profit from the maintenance work on the drilling platform. P. Smit BV at Kooypunt will for example be carrying out the construction work on the C462, while the high-pressure pipework will be replaced by a specialist from the region. Maintenance of the drilling equipment and the water reservoirs will also be carried out in the port of Den Helder. Finally, the platform accommodation will be fully renovated.
More platforms
By facilitating the arrival of this drilling platform, the Port of Den Helder has revealed itself as a flexible pit stop port with space for interim platform maintenance work. We are working on a business plan to help us expand our range of services, for example to include the mooring of platforms at the maintenance quays. This plan will be elaborated in consultation with the Royal Dutch Navy," explained Piet-Hein Kolff. At present, in close collaboration with Den Helder Airport, the Port of Den Helder is working both nationally and internationally to place the capacities and capabilities of Den Helder in the spotlight, with a view to attracting new markets.
Tom Gravemaker of Paragon Offshore based in Beverwijk is delighted that the Port of Den Helder could offer space to accommodate the platform. "The geographical location of the Port of Den Helder is ideal for us. The short distance in combination with the availability of a flexible port and airport just around the corner means that we can efficiently prepare our Paragon C462 for its next mission. We are delighted to be able to call on the reliable supply chain available in the northern Holland-Noord region."
Following completion of the maintenance work, the Paragon C462 will be redeployed for drilling activities. A skeleton crew of twenty to twenty-five people will remain on board.

So if you, as the head of the opening of the representative office, the company will charge the organization of the warehouse don't be surprised.
Gather information on sales in this region, you have to understand the dynamics of their development. Be sure to check with local dealers or representatives in your company. Before taking any steps to organize the warehouse, make a business plan with the most detailed financial information.
Decide which location for the warehouse will be optimal, and then find a finished building at the warehouse complex or the land for its construction. Supply chain with all the details you should have in mind – only then will you be able to understand the strategic feasibility of one or another location. If you want to rent a room, make sure it is suitable for warehouse of the type that requires you, that is the wholesale terminal.
Resort to the services of a consultant in the field of warehouse logistics, if you are not a specialist yourself. Having a building built or rented), start with the organization of storage space – divide it into plots (a plot of loading and unloading, reception area, storage area and phase picking of goods). Calculate what kind of storage equipment you'll need – for this use full information about the range of goods and materials with which you are dealing, and their dimensional characteristics.
Create a team of warehouse workers in our warehouse not being used so little. However, the main thing – to find the warehouse Manager, who then will be able to find people to work with. Five people you need at a conservative estimate, sometimes the warehouse complex serving up to ten people.
Do not belong to the warehouse work as a side business and trust it only to professionals, try to use all modern methods of warehouse management (including WMS system).
Access roads to your wholesale warehouse should be as comfortable as possible and always free, so it is better to arrange a warehouse on the outskirts of the city to your transport did not stand for hours in traffic.

Stagehand strike prevents Broadway from setting new box office record
by Judd Hollander - Jun 23, 2008
There is every indication Broadway would have set a new record at the box office were it not for a 19-day stagehand strike last autumn, according to figures released by the Broadway League, covering the just completed 2007/8 season.
The season ran from May 27, 2007, to May 25, 2008. During that time, Broadway shows grossed approximately $937.5 million and recorded a paid attendance of 12.27 million. These totals were slightly down from the all-time highs of the 2006/7 season, which took in $938.5 million at the box office, with an attendance of 12.3 million.
Officials from the Broadway League, formerly known as the League of American Theatres and Producers, estimate that were it not for the strike, which shut down nearly all of Broadway for its duration, the Great White Way would have set all-time records in both categories with estimated totals of $975 million in terms of total grosses and 12.9 tickets sold.
"While we are disappointed that we didn't exceed last year's record-breaking season, we're confident that in the coming season, with such big name shows as Billy Elliot, Shrek, West Side Story and Equus, that we will have the best season in recorded history," said Charlotte St Martin, executive director of the League.
During the 2007/8 season, 36 productions opened on Broadway. Of that total, 13 were musicals (eight new, four revivals and one (How The Grinch Stole Christmas) a return engagement), and 23 were plays (11 new, 12 revivals). There were also 15 shows that were holdovers from previous seasons.
