Super Mario Maker
Super Mario Maker lets people's imaginations run wild. For the first time ever, friends can have fun playing through levels they create for one another. The Wii U GamePad controller makes it so easy for anyone to create levels; it may feel like simply sketching out ideas on paper. Players can enjoy a seemingly endless supply of inventive Mario levels from players around the world.
The game includes a book totaling about 100 pages that illustrates the boundless possibilities in Super Mario Maker. Nintendo will also release two special Mario amiibo figures to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros. game. Tapping these amiibo in Super Mario Maker adds a Big Mushroom power-up to your course, allowing Mario to grow big and bust blocks from any direction, as well as adding a retro visual filter to the game, reminiscent of older cathode ray tube televisions. In addition, many other amiibo will also be compatible with Super Mario Maker through the use of a new item called the Mystery Mushroom. This item allows Mario to take the appearance of many other characters, such as Link, Kirby or Wii Fit Trainer, complete with character-specific animations and sound effects. These character costumes can be unlocked by completing the 100 Mario Challenge mode and many can also be unlocked if the player taps the amiibo of the character to the Wii U GamePad.

Ghosts 'n Goblins
Ghosts 'n Goblins is a platform game where the player controls a knight, named Sir Arthur, who must defeat zombies, ogres, demons, cyclops, dragons and other monsters in order to rescue Princess Prin Prin, who has been kidnapped by Satan, king of Demon World. Along the way the player can pick up new weapons, bonuses and extra suits of armor that can help in this task.
The game is often considered very difficult by arcade standards and is commonly regarded as one of the most difficult games ever released. The game is considered by Gametrailers.com to be the world's second most difficult game ever made. The player can only be hit twice before losing a life (the first hit takes away Arthur's armor, and the player must continue on in his underwear until completing the level, or finding replacement armor). If the player loses a life, he is returned to the start of the level, or the halfway point if he has managed to get that far. Furthermore, each life can only last a certain length of time (generally around three minutes), the clock being reset at the start of a level. If the clock does run out, the player instantly loses that life. After defeating the final boss, but only with the cross weapon (if the player does not have the cross weapon, they will be prompted that it is needed to defeat the boss and restart at the beginning of level 5 and must repeat round 5 and 6 again regardless if the weapon is obtained immediately or not) for the first time the player is informed that the battle was "a trap devised by Satan". The player must then replay the entire game on a higher difficulty level to reach the genuine final battle.

Super Mario World
Super Mario World (known in Japan as Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros. 4) is a side-scrolling platformer developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System on November 21, 1990 (in Japan), August 31, 1991 (in North America), and April 11, 1992 (in Europe).
One of the launch titles of the SNES (and bundled with early systems in North America), Super Mario World is the fifth main game in the Super Mario series. (starring Nintendo's mascot, Mario, and his brother, Luigi). The game follows both Mario brothers as they explore Dinosaur Land (known for its large amount of dinosaurs) to find and defeat the evil Koopa king Bowser (and his seven underlings, the Koopalings) while rescuing Princess Toadstool.
Along with new abilities (such as the "Spin Jump"), a new power-up (the "Cape Feather") and more obstacles, the game introduces dinosaur companions (known as Yoshi) that Mario and Luigi can ride. Yoshi, known for using their long tongues to snare and eat enemies, have become a fan-favorite among the series (giving them their own games and spin-offs, most notably this game's prequel).
Special bundles of the SNES in 1994 included a compilation cartridge mixing Super Mario World with Super Mario All-Stars. The only difference in this version is a new sprite set for Luigi. The original game was later ported to the Game Boy Advance on February 11, 2002 as Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2. Along with a special version of the original Mario Bros., the port includes a variety of differences, including Luigi as a selectable character (who now has unique features, such as his floating jump from Super Mario Bros. 2), new voice acting, and the ability to save anywhere. The original game was also digitally re-released in Nintendo's Virtual Console platform for the Wii (on February 5, 2007) and Wii U (on April 26, 2013).

Rise & Shine
Rise is a small kid of Gamearth, the world where the classic videogame characters live. He finds himself lost in the middle of a war against the Space Grunts, the bald muscular soldiers with big guns that just invaded his world. Only with the help of the legendary gun, Shine, he'll be able to stay alive and just maybe, incredibly, save his planet from the invaders.
The game mixes pure shooting arcade with the use of different bullets to solve all the situations Rise will find on his path. Think of a more arcadey Another World, also with a very tight relationship between gameplay and story.

Super Mario Run
Super Mario goes mobile!
Unlike other games in the franchise, Mario will run on his own. All you do is tap the screen to jump. The longer you tap, the higher the jump meaning that you can play the game with one hand.
In this game, Mario constantly moves forward through the courses while you use a variety of jumps to navigate. Mario will behave differently depending on the timing of your taps, so it's up to you to show off particularly smooth moves, gather coins, and reach the goal.
There are three different game modes to play. The first mode features challenging courses for you to complete while collecting coins. The second mode has you challenge the play data of other players to show who can beat a course with the most style to impress Toads into joining you. In the third mode, you get to create your own Mushroom Kingdom using the coins and Toads collected by playing the first two game modes.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a third-person puzzle-platformer and action-adventure computer and video game published by Ubisoft. It was released on November 21, 2003 and is a reboot of the landmark video game series Prince of Persia, created by Jordan Mechner in 1989.
The Sands of Time, developed internally at Ubisoft Montreal, successfully captures the mechanics of the original platformer and extends it to the 3D generation. An earlier attempt by The Learning Company to transfer the game to 3D (Prince of Persia 3D) was released in 1999, but despite its initial good reception failed to sell enough and the company responsible for the original trilogy was already closing doors. The game was praised for its visual design, finely tuned game mechanics and intriguing storyline, winning the game several awards.
The game was developed for the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube, Xbox, and later a 2D-version for the Game Boy Advance and mobile phones. The success of The Sands of Time led to three followups, Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (2004), Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones (2005), and Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands (2010). A remastered, high-definition, version of The Sands of Time was released on the PlayStation Network for the PlayStation 3 on November 16, 2010.

Presented as a stage-based 2.5D platformer with heavy exploration elements, Shantae uses her trademark Hair-Whip Attack to dispatch enemies, then takes advantage of her Belly Dance Magic to transform into 8 different forms that each have their own unique abilities and move sets. As new forms are mastered, old stages can be re-explored to unearth new items and secrets, ensuring there's plenty of content on offer for novices and platforming gurus alike. Topple the villainous Baron behind each criminal caper afflicting Sequin Land, and prepare for the ultimate showdown against Shantae's arch-nemesis: that bodacious buccaneer, Risky Boots!

Investigating the Significance of Wild Aloe (Aloe ferox) Harvesting in the Livelihoods of the Rural Communities of the Eastern Cape, South Africa Mosweu S, Zhou L & Agdhassi F University of Fort Hare
Structure Introduction Methods Results and Discussion Conclusion and Recommendations Future Research Activities
Introduction The practice of Aloe ferox harvesting for various purposes started more than 300 years ago in South Africa (Newton and Vaughan,1996). The communal areas of the Cape region are considered to have developed into hot spots for Aloe ferox harvesting in over the years. In the recent years, limited livelihood options to rural communities and increased opportunities for commercial exploitation of Aloe ferox rendered its harvesting to be one of the alternative livelihood activities for the poor rural communities inhabiting communal areas of the Cape region (Shackleton et al, 2009). However, there are few studies focusing on the significance of Aloe ferox harvesting in the livelihoods of the rural poor communities.
Introduction Single stemmed, perennial shrub, height of 2-3 metres, succulent leaves. Stems are characteristically clothed in a skirt of dry leaves. Boat-like shaped leaves which curve upwards and bordered by sharp reddish spines. Figure1. Aloe ferox plant
Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the significance of Aloe ferox harvesting in the livelihoods of the rural poor communities of three villages (Khayamnandi, Pumulani and Jani) in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.
Figure 2. Location of the Study Area
Methods Questionnaires were used to obtain data related to the perceptions of the communities about the significance of Aloe ferox harvesting in their livelihoods. Questionnaires were administered through individual interviews. A total of 38 individual (32 females & 6 males) were interviewed. A focused group discussion (15 individuals) was conducted. Field observations were undertaken.
Results and Discussion Figure 3. Process of Aloe tapping 1-2L of exudates 20L = R240.00 approximately 22 USD
Results and Discussion All respondents found that Aloe tapping was already being practiced when they grew up. They learnt how to do Aloe tapping through observing elders who were already acquainted with the activity. The respondents were compelled to join Aloe harvesting group by lack of options for income generation. They were not aware of policy issues that affect their involvement in this activity.
Results and Discussion Harvesting was conducted any day except during rainy and windy days as these conditions negate productivity of the Aloe exudates. 7 respondents indicated that 2 members of their families were involved, while 1 mentioned that 3 family members were involved. Since the Aloe harvesting is conducted some distance away from the settlements, the harvesters usually go out in groups for security purposes. All harvesters did not have effective protective equipment, although some used conventional gloves, boots and coats.
Results and Discussion Respondents indicated that some risks associated with Aloe harvesting include snake bites and injuries from the spines. They also alluded to some illnesses that they believed were caused by inhaling gaseous products from Aloe exudates. This was however difficult to ascertain. Figure 5. Aloe uses
Results and Discussion Suggestions from the respondents –Government should provide personal protective equipment, set prices, provide needed machinery, train Aloe harvesters, provide funds to start cooperatives/ groups.
Conclusion and Recommendations This research established that Aloe ferox harvesting is a potential poverty alleviation communal activity which can be implemented in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape. It is however not immune to challenges: –Lack of organization and coordination among the harvesters. –Lack of knowledge regarding the policies and regulations guiding the activity. –Lack of appropriate equipment. –Lack of monitoring and regulation of Aloe harvesting rates. The communities may be assisted by governmental organization or non-governmental organizations to form community based natural resources management trust.
Future Research Activities Determine ways of assisting the communities to establish a community based natural resource management trust. Liaise with governmental and non-governmental organizations on issues of empowering the communities on Aloe harvesting related matters. Continue this research by incorporating issues concerning sustainability

Pink taffeta drawstring jacket c. 1790 (source) |
This doesn't appear to be a common style. A Frolic Through Time has a wonderful 2 part article on 1790's fashion which includes a lot of gathered front garments, but they are all gowns.
I could only find two other images of a gathered front jacket. They appear to be two paintings of the same lady in the exact same outfit. Even the chair is the same, though the upholstery is a different colour. Oddly enough, this jacket is pink too.
"The joy of motherhood", 1796. Henri-Nicolas Van Gorp. (source) |
"Nina Singing a Romance", Henri-Nicolas Van Gorp, (source) |
I started by making a toile from my 1790s stays pattern. I added width to the back, cut the tabs off and flared the side piece more instead of putting the godet in. I also added a bit to the straps and the top of the back.
The sleeve is from a pattern I started working on a few months ago. It had been mocked up about 3 times before this and still didn't fit right. I tried the toile on and awkwardly marked very wobbly correction lines on with a sharpie. I then cut the toile up along different lines.
I made another toile based on the corrected version of the first one. I included the belt and gathered front panel in this one. The top of the gathered panel was too straight, but it was getting closer to looking like the original.
I put a tail on this one, but it was too big and the zip ties made it sit strangely. |
Now it looks like the original. Yay! |
All the pattern pieces on the big table in the storage room. |
The pieces for the lining. The middle panel and the top piece are also going to be used for the outer fabric. |
The top layer of the tail is cut in one piece with the centre back piece. The scratchy lines are to correct a drawing mistake.
Maybe it would be a better idea to write about those construction details after I've sewn them.
There doesn't seem to be a logical order to write about pattern pieces, so I'm sorry if this post is confusing or disjointed.

Employers withhold Medicare taxes under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, which is better known as FICA. FICA tax contributions fund both Social Security benefits and the Medicare program. For payroll employees, the employer pays half of the Social Security and Medicare taxes, while the employee's half is withheld from the paycheck. Some employers list the total FICA taxes withheld, while others itemize the individual deductions. When the FICA taxes are not itemized, the individual must determine the portion withheld for Medicare. Calculating the Medicare withholdings for a payroll employee only requires knowing the gross income of a taxpayer.
1. Consult your final pay stub for the tax year. This stub lists your earnings for the year to date and should list gross and net earnings.
2. Multiply the gross earnings total for the tax year by the current individual withholding percentage. As of 2012, the employee's contribution equaled 1.45 percent. This is the amount withheld from the employee's earnings to cover Medicare contributions.
3. Multiply the gross earnings by the total withholding percentage. As of 2012 the total contribution to Medicare, including the half paid by the employer, for an individual is 2.9 percent. This number allows the individual to determine the total Medicare contributions attributed to his name.
- There are no limits on the amount of income subject to Medicare withholdings. While Social Security tax withholdings stop at gross earnings of greater than $110,100, as of 2012, Medicare withholdings are limitless.
- If you are self-employed you must pay both the employer and employee contributions to Medicare and Social Security. To calculate the full portion of necessary Medicare contributions, multiply your net profit by 92.35 percent to determine net earnings. Multiply the new net earnings total by 2.9 percent. This total is the annual payment to Medicare, not a withholding.
- If it is the end of the tax filing year, consult the W-2 obtained from your employer to view Medicare withholdings. The total is listed separately on the W-2.

Android developers write the functional logic of apps in Java. With Java, the developer can define the processing of the application, including responding to user interaction with elements of the app interface such as buttons. The Java language resources for the Android platform include various predefined components that developers can make use of, including those for common app features such as user interface elements and data manipulation. This means developers do not have to implement every aspect of their applications manually. The Java language provides Android developers with advanced application development models such as Object Oriented development, in which the parts of an app are modelled as conceptual objects with well-defined characteristics and behaviours.
When developing an Android app, it is necessary to define the visual interface presented to users when they launch the app. Android developers implement these user interfaces using the XML markup language, often together with digital images created in graphic design programs. The XML files in an Android app can define the layouts, images, themes and colours displayed to the user. Although Android user interfaces are primarily defined in XML, developers can also implement and alter the visual elements of an app from the Java code. Developers also use XML to define the basic properties of an app in its Manifest file.
Many Android apps use data stored within files or in databases. An app can fetch data from a local database stored on the user device or from a location on the Internet. Creating, manipulating and querying a data source is therefore a common task within Android apps. Developers typically use the SQLite variant of the SQL language to manage data for Android apps. The developer of an app can include this SQLite code within the Java class files for the app, so that it executes whenever the app runs. SQLite databases store data values using the relational database model.

Did your son go away for Kindgergarten?
Does he have friends who have gone off to school? Sometimes that impacts because they feel left out -- especially in the first weeks when the school kids report how awesome everything is...
First step, IMHO, is to find a local homeschooling group.
Local groups come in many varieties and styles -- some are more religiously-focused others more secular; some are academically-oriented, others more devoted to play/socialization.
Depending on where you are and how many groups are around you, you may find that one or another fit your needs and preferences whereas others....um, not so much.
Second, the various homeschooling groups should be the best place for info about classes homeschoolers might be able to take within the school system. (Not to mention being the best font of knowledge related to reporting requirements.)
Third, I find that museums, zoos & park systems are an excellent source of classes. As they are not tied to the school systems there is less of the *problem* of impacting homeschooler status.
Around here (Indianapolis, IN area) each of those resources have specific areas devoted to the homeschooling population -- which is especially nice, as they are during the workday.
Lastly, sometimes resistance indicates that they child needs/wants a different style of learning than what his being presented or offered. Change it up. Try different things. Sample this and that. Get into what they like and see where that takes you.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
Three of the greatest opera composers from the 19th and early 20th centuries are heard on this recording in their only works for string quartet. Richard Strauss's String Quartet in A major is a youthful work which shows the classical influence of Haydn, while Puccini's Crisantemi, Three Minuets in A Major, is a brief elegy charged with great emotional intensity. Verdi's String Quartet in E minor is his only significant chamber work, written at the age of sixty when he was at the height of his fame. The Enso Quartet's GRAMMY®-nominated recording of Ginastera's complete quartets (8.570780) was acclaimed by MusicWeb International for "string quartet playing of jawdropping prowess".
American Record Guide, January/February 2015
The Enso Quartet's latest disc is devoted to the music of composers seldom associated with chamber music. One is tempted to call Richard Strauss's Quartet in A juvenilia, since it was written when he was just 17. This expansive, half-hour long piece, however, is Brahmsian in its lyrical appeal and rhythmic vitality. The Enso Quartet plays it with a beautifully blended sound and, in the slow movement, heartrending sensitivity.

While Parties negotiate key aspects of the Paris Agreement in the APA informals, only 2 representatives per constituency are allowed to enter each of these sessions. ECO reminds Parties that just 6 months ago, all Parties "reaffirmed the fundamental value of effective participation by observers in the intergovernmental process […] and acknowledged the need to further enhance effective engagement of observer organisations as the UNFCCC process moves forward into implementation and operationalisation of the Paris Agreement" (SBI conclusions on AIM).
Eco Digital Blog
In closely listening to Parties' discussion of adaptation communication under the APA, ECO thinks that adaptation communications are a key contributor to understanding and assessing progress—or lack thereof—towards the global goal on adaptation.
This is an unjust world, but the climate transition cannot not be. If we're to have a real chance at the Paris temperature targets, we must avoid narrow nationalism and commit to equity. Yet, even after the Paris breakthrough, equity is treated as an irritant or a danger by even by some of our high level champions. several of whom are prone to railing against "burden sharing" and even "carbon budgets."
When it comes to how much our planet is warming, what counts is the cumulative emissions that we've pumped into the atmosphere. This is a matter of physics, not politics. In its 5th Assessment Report, the IPCC provided global carbon budgets—or the amount of carbon we could emit—and still hold global warming to certain temperatures. To have a 66% chance for staying below 1.5°C, we have now only some 200 gigatonnes of emissions left. If we accept a 50% chance, we have 350 gigatonnes.
Australia! We've had our differences, but today you made ECO smile. Yesterday, we woke to the happy news that you ratified the Paris Agreement. And let's face it, we all needed a bit of boost! For those who might be surprised, ECO notes that the move was welcomed by leading Australian businesses, investors, unions, and welfare and environment groups—all keen to see a proper integration of climate, energy and economic policy.
Today's Fossil of the Day goes to… the European Union for peddling biofuels! The EU has considerable economic and technological clout at its disposal to accelerate the just transition to 100% clean, renewable energy. Unfortunately, the EU is instead promoting biofuels in their SBSTA submission on agriculture.
Donald Trump's election as the next U.S. president was a [unexpected][climatic][
Before negotiators convened, Panama sent a signal to the carbon market world on how essential robust stakeholder consultation is. Following years of protest and controversy, Panama withdrew its approval from the Barro Blanco Clean Development Mechanism hydroelectric power project, effectively preventing it from issuing offset credits.
ECO felt the sweet tinge of elation, like when you meet a good old friend, when several Parties made a strong case for common 5-year commitment periods in yesterday's APA informal. It was probably no coincidence that it was some of the most climate vulnerable countries (AOSIS, CARICOM and the Africa Group) that led the charge.
It's impossible not to notice that developed countries are very pleased with themselves for publishing their "Roadmap to the US$100 billion" this past October. This is even more apparent from yesterday's joint statement on the roadmap.
ECO too is pleased to have the roadmap, don't get us wrong. It enhances transparency on how developed countries plan to reach the collective target of US$100 billion per year by 2020. But ECO also expects further progress on patchy areas where more clarity is needed: mobilised private finance is one example that comes to mind.

You are hereby advised to keep this whole information confidential until you have been able to collect your donation, as there have been many cases of double and unqualified claim, due to beneficiaries informing third parties about his/her donation. Finally, all funds should be claimed by their respective beneficiaries, not later that 7 days after notification, as failure will lead to cancellation and your donation will be reserved for next year's recipients. On behalf of the Board kindly accept our warmest congratulations Yours Sincerely, Mrs. Jenny Klein (Foundation officer)

Westminster Welcomes video with Dr. Zack Eswine
Dr. Zack Eswine, Director of Homiletics and Adjunct Professor of Applied Theology at Covenant Theological Seminary, recently visited the WSC campus for a special convocation lecture and also participated in the latest edition of Westminster Welcomes, answering the question "what makes a great pastor?"
Where in the World is the Church
Have Christians misunderstood what it means to be in the world but not of it? Has the church, in a sense, neglected the world to the detriment of all? Michael S. Horton has written Where in the World is the Church? for "those Christians who struggle with a subculture that stifles rather than encourages their divinely given impulses and ambitions." He does so "with the hope that theologians will learn more about other disciplines and that Christians in those other disciplines will anchor themselves more firmly in biblical theology before they attempt to 'integrate' their faith and life."
Convocation with Dr. Whitney Gamble
WSC welcomed Dr. Whitney Gamble for a special convocation lecture as part of our Women in Theology lecture series. Dr. Gamble's lecture, entitled "Westminster Assembly and the Challenges of Antinomianism," is now available online. Click below for a brief event recap and a link to the lecture audio.

When a Plan Comes Together
I couldn't be more excited about my recent purchase from my bike shop, Bike Green Lexington. Friday afternoon, I borrowed my buddy's car and picked up new wheels, brakes and drivetrain for the Troll. My plan was to buy the frame last year, build it up with junk from the garage and finish it some time this year after saving for real components. That plan is finally nearing it's finish.
Here's the Troll in it's current state. But some time this week, I'll strip it down to nothing but frame, seatpost, seat, headset, stem and bars. I'll be putting on some Handpun DP20 wheels, Avid BB7's, FSA triple crankset and a SRAM X7 drivetrain and shifters (I'll include more spec details on here when I build it up. But that's the basic gist of it all).
Mad props to Riley at Bike Green Lexington for helping me spec this thing out. I had a tiny budget for such a project and he had to work at finding a combination that fit all my needs. He and Jason are great help over at the shop.
The next full shot of the Troll will look like a brand new bike. It'll run nicer than it ever has and will finally be the bike I planned for when it all started last year. I can't wait.
Get out there.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
It's a good time to apply the old adage: "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."
On Wednesday closed its gleaming headquarters tower in Oklahoma City to the public, the better to keep prying eyes away from the spectacle of axing 1,000 heads, or about 20% of its workforce. The bloodletting will reportedly finish on Thursday.
Devon built its tower, the tallest building for hundreds of miles around, at the height of the shale boom. Will it come to be seen as a monument to hubris? On Tuesday Devon announced fourth quarter results. Net loss on the quarter was $4.5 billion, compared with a loss of $400 million in the same quarter a year ago. The biggest source of financial pain was a $5.3 billion non-cash charge against earnings representing the value evaporation of oil and gas reserves simply not worth drilling at these commodity prices.
Hunkering down to weather the storm, Devon announced that it was slashing its 2016 capital spending budget 75% from 2015 levels to just $1 billion. It also will cut its dividend 75% from 24 cents a quarter to 6 cents. And the company hopes to sell as much as $3 billion in assets this year, plus $1 billion in stock. That all might help Devon pare its $12 billion in debt, though a first priority will be plugging what analysts at Tudor, Pickering & Holt anticipate to be a $1.3 billion cashflow deficit.
Devon shares on Wednesday sank 4.42% to their lowest level since 2002. They've lost 70% in the past year. Devon bonds have been selling off too, with the yield on its 6.3% issue due 2019 surging from 3% at the end of 2015 to nearly 11% now, according to FINRA data.
But you know what? The situation at Devon is not nearly as bad as it seems. If you don't count that big impairment charge Devon generated cents in earnings per share for the quarter and $3.57 in cash flow per share. That was thanks in large part to its low operating costs and commodity price hedges.
Bob Brackett, analyst at Bernstein Research, has been a fan of Devon for months and believes the company's strong operations and deep inventory of high-quality oil reservoirs is underappreciated. Most of Devon's capital spending this year, and for many more to come, will be focused in the Delaware basin of west Texas, the Eagle Ford shale in south Texas, and the STACK play in Oklahoma.
Credit Suisse oil analyst Ed Westlake liked Devon's deep cuts to its dividend and capex. "Bottom line: DVN have acted decisively to safeguard an exciting future," he wrote in a research note Tuesday.
Lurching around the American oilpatch are a lot of zombies — companies that don't have sufficent cash and credit to avoid defaulting on their debts if oil prices stay lower for longer. In a report a week ago, Goldman Sachs oil analysts conducted a stress test on how 33 E&P companies would fare if oil stayed at $35 through 2018. They determined that , Laredo Petroleum, , California Resources Corp., and Chespeake Energy are in particularly precarious state, all suffering a combination of limited liquidity, near-term maturities and declining production volumes.
Devon, however, is one of the companies Goldman identified (along with Corp. and ) as best postitioned to survive low prices. Devon's nearest debt maturity is a $350 million issue coming due in December. After that there's two maturities in 2018 totaling $875 million.
Asset sales would enable Devon to cover those debts. And yet selling assets at decent valuations is far from a given in this market. So on Wednesday evening Devon announced surprise plans for a 60 million share offering that would raise about $1.4 billion while diluting existing shareholders 15%. "The stock offering should soothe investor concerns about the stability of Devon's balance sheet," wrote Cowen & Co. analyst Charles Robertson in a note Wednesday night as Devon stock sagged another 6% in after-hours trading.
There really couldn't be a worse time for Devon to sell new shares. Which, for investors, means there couldn't be a better time to buy them. In a fascinating study this week, Bernstein Research calculated a hypothetical liquidation value of 60 E&P companies and determined that if all assets were auctioned off and all debts paid, there's only five companies where equity holders would actually end up as much or even more value than what their shares price in today. Those companies are Marathon Oil, , SM Energy, Murphy Oil, and Devon.
In the case of Devon, equity holders could expect to see $8 billion in proceeds if the company were liquidated today, says Bernstein. Devon's current market cap: $8 billion. That's a pretty good margin of safety for these terrible times, and a lot of upside potential for a return to normalcy.
Yes it's hard to recommend buying shares in a company while it's laying off hundreds of workers, but this is a time when it really makes sense to apply Baron Rothschild's adage: "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."
