a Day of School!
untington Beach High School senior
Kylie Cochran is getting closer and
closer to graduating June 13 with a per-
fect school attendance record since her first day
of kindergarten at Hope View Elementary.
Cochran, 18, said she never intended to pur-
sue perfect attendance. She attributes her
achievement to the fact that she’s never been
seriously ill and that she didn’t want to fall be-
hind on her classwork.

PowerDrive Oil and Gas Company


Leverages Extensive Data, Logging
and Permit Hurdling to Find New
Value in California Legacy Fields
BAKERSFIELD, Calif., June 04, 2018 (GLOBE PowerDrive Energy
Services NEWSWIRE)
By infusing new technology with historical data PowerDrive Oil and
Gas Company, LLC is rejuvenating neglected California oil fields.
PowerDrive’s Niclas Biornstad says the company has used its expertise
to re-enter six wells in the state’s West Bellevue field and one well in
Huntington Beach with exceptionally high test rates. Initially producing
just 12 BOPD, the company now produces 180-200 BOPD after 18
months.
The company also owns extensive property and lease acreage in Brent-
wood, West Newport and Greeley oil fields.
Biornstad credits the success on
the integration of 3D seismic, de-
tailed review of historical well
data, saturation tool logging and
cost efficient drilling techniques.
“We also thoroughly understand
the California regulatory and per-
mitting environment, which could
otherwise be a daunting task, with
a combination of in-house and se-
lective consultant services.”
Aggregating leases at field
level, rather than just by individ-
ual leases, allows PowerDrive to
maximize the production and ex-
ploration efforts in an integrated
manner, which ultimately more
efficiently drains remaining hy-
drocarbons in any one area.

EMILY RELLA, AOL.COM


Next time you find yourself complaining about dropping $12 on a simple Negroni or Gin-based drink (looking at you, loyal
Gin and Tonic lovers), you might want to consider how much more expensive your drink of choice could be.
Kind of like this $1,250 Negroni that’s on sale through the end of this week in Manhattan.
But Don’t drop your old fashioned glass just yet - it’s all in the name of opulence and charity!
In honor of this year’s Negroni Week, in which venues across the world can sign up and elect a donation to a charity of their
choice, Fine & Rare in New York is offering a ‘Luxury Negroni Sbagliato’ for a grand
total of $1,250.
The beverage contains standard negroni ingredients (gin, Campari) mixed with Ar-
ta i l

mand de Brignac Brut Rosé and poured over a gold-flaked ice cube, garnished with
n
Cor
orange bitters and zest.
$1,000 from each cocktail sold will go to Fine & Rare’s elected Negroni Week char-
ity of choice, CORE, which benefits and aids children of those in the restaurant indus-
try.
The primary reasoning for the price?
The drink showcases the world’s most expensive gin, NOLET’s Reserve.
The gin, whose ingredients include the most expensive spice in the world (saffron)
balanced with the citrus-noted verbena, goes for $700 a pop.
Of course, the edible gold and other premium spirits don’t hurt either!

How Much is Amazon Worth?


The information contained in this column does not
necessarily reflect the opinion of The Local News

E-commerce giant Amazon has come a long way, growing from an online bookseller in the early days of the internet to a retail giant that is dis-
rupting everything from the assumed supremacy of big-box stores like Walmart to grocery store and delivery service models. Here’s a closer look
at what the company is currently worth and why that might — or might not — matter to investors:

What Amazon Is Worth


Amazon Share Price, 52-Week Range $927-$1,638.10
Amazon Market Cap, 52-Week Range $448.8 billion-$793 billion
2017 Revenue $177.9 billion
2017 Profits $3 billion
GOBankingRates’ Evaluation of Amazon’s Net Worth $107.9 billion
All information on 52-week range is accurate as of May 29, 2018.

About Amazon
The Local News, June 15, 2018 hbnews1@aol.com 714.914.9797

Headquarters Seattle
Year Founded 1994
CEO Jeff Bezos Net Worth $133.2 billion
Amazon Market Cap: $448.8B-$793B

One of the most reliable gauges for what a company is really


worth is market capitalization, or market cap for short. The mar-
ket cap is the value of all of the company’s stock combined, giv-
ing you a sense of what value investors are placing on the
company based on the price it is trading at. Amazon’s market cap
has ranged between just under $450 billion and close to $800 bil-
lion from May 2017 to May 2018, but that has been trending up

f
sharply.

The report suggests that some of

However, several challenges come

for testing drug-impaired drivers,
