There are lots of moments in life when you need to be able to get hold of some money really quickly. Perhaps your bill is higher than you expected, you have to pay for a home repair or you're stranded in an airport. Whatever the reason for needing the money, the only thing you know is that you need to get it as soon as possible. But you can't just magic cash out of thin air. You need to think about your options and which method of bringing in a quick sum of money will work for you. If you need to make a fast buck, try one of these ways of raising the cash lickety-split.
You've probably already thought of this one, and perhaps you've dismissed it because you think you have nothing to sell. But maybe you should think again, and decide if there isn't something that you can afford to part ways with. If you need to make money today or tomorrow, using a site like eBay probably isn't going to be quick enough for you. You would be better off trading your things in at a physical shop, whether it's a pawn shop or a secondhand store.
People can be wary of payday loans, but they can be useful if you're able to pay them off as soon as possible. If you decide to take out a loan with Ferratum in Australia or a similar company, it's a good idea to know how and when you're going to pay it back. Make sure you know when you're expected to pay, and how much, and that you won't end up having to take out more loans to keep paying the previous one back.
Many people live by the adage "never a borrower nor a lender be", but others are a bit more generous. You might have friends or family who are willing to lend you, or even gift you, some money. If they or you are worried about not paying the money back, you can even draw up a contract. Alternatively, you could give them something as collateral or promise to do a favor for them in return for the money.
If you've recently purchased something before finding out that you need the money for something else, hopefully, you still have the receipt. Assuming the item you bought is still in good condition, with any labels or packaging still intact, you should be able to return it. You do need to be careful, however, as some stores will give you credit to buy things in the shop, rather than pay you back in cash.
There are plenty of other ways you can get hold of some money quickly, and they're all completely legitimate. If none of the above methods work for you, try offering to do some odd jobs in your neighborhood. You can even make money by selling organic tissue, from hair to sperm and blood.


Hey SEC, What's Your Deal?
FACT: An SEC team has never lost to a 16-seed.
Above is the SEC Network's contribution to the first-ever No. 16-seeded upset of a No. 1. Congratulations, SEC Network, on accomplishing a feat that would seem as impossible as a 16-over-1: Making me feel bad for that losing 1 seed.
The end of football season typically offers some reprieve from the chest-thumping that's become standard from our friends associated with the Southeastern Conference. However, following a classic College Football Playoff championship that featured a pair of SEC teams, and with the conference's resurgence in basketball during the 2017-18 campaign, the league that gave us Paul Finebaum seems especially chirpy these days.
Take Auburn's First Round win over College of Charleston on Friday in San Diego. The Colonial Athletic Association champion Cougars gave the SEC co-regular-season titleholders all they could handle for 40 minutes, even leading down the stretch. As Auburn gained control in the final minute, a noisy contingent of Tigers fans could be heard breaking out in the grating "S-E-C!" chants.
Now, in the case of Texas A&M routing defending national champion and ACC banner-carrier North Carolina, this expression of conference pride is no less annoying but at least understandable. Unleashing the conference chants for a narrow defeat of a mid-major in a 4 vs. 13 matchup, on the other hand?
Maybe Auburn fans caught wind of the CAA being declared "the SEC of FCS" a few years back, when Richmond and Villanova won national championships, book-ended by a pair of Delaware appearances in the title game. But College of Charleston doesn't field a varsity football team, and only recently moved to the CAA from the SoCon. Perhaps there's lingering hostility stemming from The Citadel's defeat of South Carolina a few seasons ago?
Auburn's win ended with controversy, as Bryce Brown hit Grant Riller's elbow on a would-be game-tying 3-point attempt.
Officials miss calls, even in late-game situations. The crew working that particular matchup happened to miss two critical calls, sending the wrong Tiger to the free-throw line after Riller's miss.
But for Bruce Pearl, unsolicited, to declare Brown's defensive play wasn't a foul? C'mon. Take the win and move forward.
Not just accepting the win seems like the theme of this spring in the SEC. Alabama won its second College Football Playoff championship, and now claims 17 football titles in total. Given the suspect nature of a few of those claims, there might be some understanding, or even empathy, for UCF in it staking a portion of the 2017 national championship.
Oh, no. No, no, no. Not only will you find no shortage of Crimson Tide supporters ready to get every upset about it on social media, but even Alabama's athletic director is jumping into the fray. The most vicious dunk of the weekend was not on the hardwood, as a result.
…But if that's insufficient, let's bring this full circle to the first No. 16 seed to beat a No. 1 in the NCAA Tournament.
UCF should add this tweet to its criteria for declaring the national championship.
Oh, and if you're curious: SEC teams went a combined 2-6 following the above SEC Network, including co-regular-season champions Tennessee losing to No. 11 seed Loyola Chicago (the Ramblers improved to 2-0 vs. the conference, adding the Vols to a December victory over Florida), and Auburn losing the most lopsided 4 vs. 5 game in NCAA Tournament history.


The newly refurbished road has been a concern since the application of a sealant in humid weather last August.
Today, the Maine Department of Transportation will begin spreading an iron oxide grit to the recently repaved portion of Route 3 on the way to Bar Harbor, after numerous complaints of vehicles slipping and sliding and a major accident involving a dump leaving the road and crashing into a garage.
The grit that will be spread is usually used to polish glass and soft metals and will adhere to the asphalt, which should increase traction.
Local officials, project contractors and the Maine Department of Transportation will continue to monitor the situation. The Route 3 project is due to be completed sometime this coming spring.


Arturo Vidal will have to submit a formal transfer request if he wants to leave Juventus according to the club.
Juventus' general director Giuseppe Marotta has reportedly told both the Chile international and Paul Pogba, who is reportedly a target of Chelsea, Manchester United and City, according to the aforementioned source, that they will need to hand in a transfer request if they wish to leave Turin.
Despite having made several additions to their squad this summer, the Italian champions are adamant they will not sell their most prized assets unless they are forced to do so.
"We will not sell our best players, our top assets unless the players themselves ask us to leave.
This would mean that Vidal would be forced to push through a potential move to the Gunners, if he is to join the club this summer.
The 28-year-old is one of the best midfielders in the world right now and Arsenal will be desperate to secure a signing of Vidal's stature, as it could possibly be the missing link to push the North London club towards a Premier League title next season.
Vidal scored seven goals in 28 league appearances last season and he showed his ability to influence defensively as well, winning 74 tackles and 35 aerial duels as Juventus won Serie A and the Coppa Italia – while they finished as runners-up in the Champions League.
Arsenal will no doubt be hoping Vidal does in fact request a transfer possibly allowing them to swoop for one of the best in the business.


We slept comfortably and woke up ready to see as much of Rome as we could. We had bought the 3-day unlimited metro pass and intended to make the most of it.
We quickly learned that the metro in Rome is not nearly as comprehensive as in London or Paris.
However, we could still see a few interesting places using the metro, for instance, we were 4 stops from the Vatican.
With some help from Google Trips, we prepared our itinerary for the day.
We decided to start with a visit to the Vatican. When visiting the Vatican Museum, just like the Louvre, it makes sense to buy your tickets ahead. We made the mistake of not buying tickets ahead or paying for a tour.
Regardless of having to wait for about an hour to get our tickets, we were very impressed with the Vatican. Of course, that's like saying the ocean is big. We started with a visit to St. Peter's Cathedral and then continued to the museum.
After the Vatican, we visited The Coliseum, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, Altar of the Fatherland, and then we walked to the Trevi Fountain to see it during the day. After a break and a visit to the supermarket, we walked to Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo during the evening.
A note about personal safety in Rome.
I'm really torn about Rome. On the one hand, as a history lover visiting the Eternal City at some points it's a must. On the other hand, Rome is still Rome. It reminded me of New York City as seen in movies like Taxi Driver, the NYC with subway cars full of graffiti, overcrowded, and unsafe.
Within 24 hours, I saw all kinds of scams. The senior citizen trying to help us buy metro tickets, the people "giving away" friendship bracelets, the well-dressed ticket scalper pretending to work for the Vatican museum, our child saw a poor woman whose scouter's safety box had been left empty, the guys forcing those on dates or new couples to pay €20 for roses, etc. But it's Rome and we had to see it at least once. Rome kept me on my toes, which I had not had to do in a very long time.
We ended our last evening in Rome eating gelato which we got at Wonderful Ice Cream on our way back from Piazza del Popolo. Regardless of the crowds, the many scams, the summer heat and any other negative aspects you can think of, Rome is a place one must visit at least once.

One thousand two hundred men were killed and the Prince, realising defeat, fled.

Chris Owen Published: May 4, 2021
We're far away from Halloween, but let's be honest, ghosts and spirits often make their presence felt year-round.
Western New York is no stranger to ghost stories or supposedly haunted places. Whether they are old buildings with a deep and rich history or something spooky on its own such as a cemetery, the spirits of ghosts can haunt many different places in a given area and that's no different with Buffalo and Western New York.
There has even been ghost hunter and paranormal activity shows that have paid Western New York a visit over the years and some of the places they have visited has lived up to their expectations. Spooky feelings. Disembodied voices. Unexplained footsteps. Swinging of doors. The things you can't explain usually happen at these long-thought haunted places in Western New York.
Some are in the City of Buffalo, while others are east and north of the city; but they all share a common bond in hauntings. We thank Step Out Buffalo, WGRZ, and Only in Your State for the backstories on these incredible places.

In Nepal, Heifer International has been working alongside farming families for more than two decades to help them grow their yields and incomes while feeding their communities — from training on climate-smart practices to strengthening value chains and improving access to inputs like veterinary care and animal fodder.
Core to this effort to better lives and livelihoods is the process of Passing on the Gift®. This act of farmers sharing valuable agricultural assets, such as training, tools and seeds, creates a sense of community and mutual success in our regions of work, laying the groundwork for long-term prosperity.
This month, the South Korean government took this concept to a lofty level with the transfer to Nepal of 101 Holstein heifers and 20 high-quality breeding bulls donated by Korean dairy farmers.
The animals, donated at no cost to the people of Nepal, will form part of the ongoing work to improve the Nepalese dairy value chain and bolster dairy animal ownership and household milk production, which has been associated with better child nutrition and improved family diet in rural Nepal during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This government-to-government initiative, known as the Milky Way project and facilitated by Heifer Korea and Heifer Nepal, aims to double milk productivity in Nepal and benefit more than half a million smallholder dairy farmers by 2030.
For their part, the South Korean government ensured the availability of animal resources, in coordination with the country's dairy and cooperative sectors, while the government of Nepal will support the breeding, processing and improved husbandry initiatives that strengthen the technical capacity of Nepal's National Livestock Breeding Organization.
The lack of a systemic approach to cow breeding has proved a major hurdle to the development of Nepal's dairy sector, with average milk production from crossbred heifers amounting to about nine liters per day. Local, unimproved breeds tend to produce much less than that, which has left Nepal deficient in milk supply and reliant on imports of nearly $17 million annually to fill the consumption gap.

"We believe the gift of heifers and bulls will contribute to building a high-quality nucleus herd in Nepal, which will transform and modernize the dairy industry," said Park Chong-Suk, ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Nepal.
This effort traces its history to the early 1950s when Heifer gifted South Korea poultry and cows to combat the severe hunger and poverty the country was experiencing amid the Korean War. Over time, the cows helped South Korea transition into one of the top three milk-producing nations worldwide.
The arrival of livestock in Nepal signals a similar opportunity to revolutionize the dairy sector, and a continuation of Heifer's work to bolster farmers' yields, incomes and access to reliable markets.
Expanding Incomes for Smallholder Farmers
Of the 101 Korean heifers, 81 are being gifted to 50 farming households in the municipality of Kamalamai, in Nepal's central-south Sindhuli district. These Heifer-supported households will comprise a "model dairy village," where their Korean heifers will breed with the Korean bulls and the resulting male offspring will increase the number of breeding bulls — expanding the reach of the project across the country over time.

For local farmers like Rukmani Adhikari, who lives in Kamalamai with her husband Madhav and their three children, the incoming cows hold a promise of more profitable livelihoods and expanding incomes.
"People were excited when they found out the cows from Korea could produce 25 liters of milk every day, and I was overjoyed when I found out I was going to be one of the participants," said Rukmani, who began dairy farming 11 years ago and whose 16-cow herd produce an average of 10 liters per day per cow. "I'd have been happy even if the cows' yield was only 15 liters."
Kalamalai was chosen as the location for this project following a feasibility study which showed the area's enormous potential for dairy investments, thanks to its moderate climate and reliable rainfall. Many local farmers, like Rukmani and her family, are already pursuing dairy production, and the municipality's road network is connected to three major highways, which will facilitate market linkages.
Like the other selected farmers, Rukmini and Madhav feel prepared for the new breed's arrival following training from Heifer on animal care and well-being, such as shed specifications, manure management and feeding practices. They also received technical guidance from expert representatives of South Korean dairy farming cooperatives.
The farming households will have readily available support from community agrovet entrepreneurs (CAVEs), local providers of basic livestock care who have been trained by Heifer and its local partners in monitoring and maintaining the health and well-being of the Korean cows. The CAVEs will also coordinate closely with veterinary doctors assigned to the project to address any issues requiring expert attention.
The Wealth of High-Quality Genes
For Heifer Nepal, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and currently supports dairy farmers marketing around 137,000 liters of milk daily, the gift of Korean cows represents a major step forward in efforts to support the government's economic plan, in which the dairy sector plays a key role.
"The country's Agriculture Development Strategy lists priority value chains for development, and dairy is very high on the list," said Neena Joshi, Heifer Nepal's senior director of programs in cooperative development in Asia. "It is important for economic growth as well as the livelihood of the people."
Greater milk production translates to improved incomes, which can be a lifeline out of poverty for smallholder farming families, like Kamala Poudel and her husband Bed Prasad. Photo by Narendra Shrestha/Heifer International.
While 81 heifers are distributed to farming households, five of the remaining heifers are going to the National Agriculture Research Council; the other 15 and all 20 bulls are going to National Livestock Breeding Offices to develop the nucleus herd.
"One of the major gaps [for the dairy sector] was not having quality genetic resources," Neena added. "So, this collaboration is going to be a true game-changer in terms of improving dairy productivity and reliability."
Thanks to this collaboration and the ongoing coordination between the governments of South Korea and Nepal, the dairy sector is poised for more productive and profitable days ahead — and, with this change, more farming families escaping the grips of poverty and leading lives of dignity.

Kim Kardashian West wants to skip law school and become a lawyer this way
Kim Kardashian West wants to skip law school…
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Posted April 15, 2019, 7:45 am CDT
Media personality and socialite Kim Kardashian West hopes to follow in the footsteps of President Abraham Lincoln by skipping law school and becoming a lawyer through "reading the law."
West recently told Vogue about her plans, spurred by a meeting with President Donald Trump.
She had urged Trump to commute the sentence of 63-year-old Alice Marie Johnson, sent to prison more than 20 years ago for drug possession and money laundering. Trump commuted Johnson's sentence last June.
California is one of only four states that allow aspiring lawyers to take the bar exam by learning the law through apprenticeship and study, report the Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle and the San Jose Mercury News, all of which covered the Vogue report.
West resides in Hidden Hills, California, with her children and husband, rapper Kanye West, who filed a lawsuit last month with a music publisher. In the dueling suits, he alleged contract "servitude," while the music publisher, EMI, claimed a deal breach.
She's been studying since last summer. West must apprentice for 18 hours per week and will have to take the "baby bar" this summer. If she passes, she has to study three more years.
Only three people who took the California bar exam in 2015 were educated by "law office study;" two of them passed the bar, according to statistics cited by the Washington Post.
West is studying with the co-founders and policy director of a criminal-justice reform group called #cut50. Two of the lawyers showed up to help West study one afternoon while a Vogue reporter was there.
"First year of law school," West told Vogue, "you have to cover three subjects: criminal law, torts and contracts. To me, torts is the most confusing, contracts the most boring, and crim law I can do in my sleep. Took my first test, I got a 100. Super easy for me. The reading is what really gets me. It's so time-consuming. The concepts I grasp in two seconds."
West's late father, Robert Kardashian, was a member of the defense team that successfully defended O.J. Simpson on murder charges. West told Vogue that she used to snoop through her father's evidence books on the weekends.
She hasn't finished college, but she doesn't have to under the reading law program, according to Vogue.
"It wasn't until the early 1800s that a law degree was even a thing," according to Vogue. "Everyone apprenticed with a lawyer or judge, and even after colleges began offering law courses, many still chose apprenticeship, including no less a figure than Abraham Lincoln."

Xiangshan forum addresseplastic bracelets for eventss counterterror strategies
2008 Sasquatch Music Festival Worth Attending Detroit has the dubious distinction of being one of the biggest talent pools of musicians who are famous elsewhere. And while this is shame, it also gives fans the ability to see greats like The Muggs in favorite small venues and hometown bars across the area. Gaining notoriety in Europe as one of the fresh bands fronting Detroit"s new generation of Dodge muscle cars, Danny Methric, Tony DeNardo and Todd Glass keep a low-key lifestyle in their home city. Once you have an idea of how much space you require, you can go about choosing the right size. It is generally helpful to have a per person estimation of space in square feet. This can help you work out how much space you will need depending on the number of people expected. The space required per person, for a buffet-event wristbands is likely to be smaller than that needed for a seated event. Halloween is celebrated for one full month. It entails wearing scary costumes, parties and so on. Based on the character you have to wear accessories also, you can wear a wristband with a message to influence others. Even crazy messages like trick or treat can be engraved on sport wristbands these items during these times. These items are great for parties aside from it being an accessory, and people will be delighted in it. As the event ended President Bush wished them luck, turned and left the room. As a rather close observer of these events, Mr. Bush"s ending tone was clearly one of regret. Surely there was some regret for the negative things that have happened, but the regret to which I refer was the result of the tone of the press. Head to the beach. Many families say good-bye to summer by spending Labor Day weekend at Virginia Beach. The Verizon Wireless American festival wristbands will entertain people of all ages with oceanfront concerts, food and fun. Also referred to as Mooncake or Lantern Festival. Nothing much special accept eating mooncake (lots of mooncakes, everywhere is selling it) and watching kids carrying lantern at every corner of the streets once the day turns dark. Novice photographer will really appreciate such occasion. Art prints of my work are available at my Paintingforyou site which I have personally ordered from and approve of their quality. My official web page is not ready to go live just yet. I"m currently using social media and various internet sites and finding out what works best.

Counterterrorism is facing new and increasingly complex challenges ranging from rising levels of online terrorist activity to state-sponsored terrorism. These problems will require more holistic approaches, stronger consensus and deeper cooperation among countries, defense officials and experts said on Monday.
Major General Wang Jingwu, president of the National University of Defense Technology"s School of International Relations, said that despite the defeat of the Islamic State group in Syria, the threat of terrorism still looms large and is spreading within Asia and Europe.
In 2017, the world suffered around 8,580 terrorist attacks, leading to more than 18,700 deaths, Wang said during a session on international counterterrorism cooperation during the 9th Beijing Xiangshan Forum.
So far this year, there have been around 1,545 terrorist attacks and 6,825 fatalities around the world, according to the Environment Rating Scales Institute in the United States.
"Terrorists are becoming more globalized, internet-savvy and younger," he said. "This poses serious challenges to global counterterrorism efforts because terrorists are becoming more scattered and elusive, and they can carry out surprise attacks in a wide range of locations."
Apart from expanding their presence in countries such as Turkey, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, terrorists are also moving into the virtual realm by spreading propaganda, attracting recruits and financing their operations via social media and the darknet, Wang said.
"The internet is now a new battlefield for counterterrorism, and (fighting terror) is a herculean task that will require considerable effort from the global community," he said.
However, the global fight against terrorism is losing steam as the US, one of the main pillars of counterterrorism, has recently switched its strategic priorities to competition between big nations, and tackling terrorism no longer carries the same significance as it once did in 2001, Wang said.
To complicate matters, some countries are abusing the definition of terrorism and counterterrorism mechanisms to advance their own national goals. "Terrorists in one country might be considered "freedom fighters" and get support from another," he said. "If we can"t even have a common understanding of what a terrorist is, the future of global counterterrorism efforts will be very difficult."
To tackle these issues, Wang suggested countries should forge a stronger consensus against terrorists" acts against humanity and their use of violence to advance their goals.
More counterterrorism operations under the United Nations framework, increased intelligence-gathering capabilities, online and legal collaboration between nations, promotion of cultural multilateralism and elimination of fundamentalist and radical thinking are also keys, he added.
Major General RPS Bhadauria, a distinguished fellow at the United Service Institution of India, said the social and psychological makeup of a terrorist is extremely complex, with many new recruits being well-educated and middle-class youth - demographic characteristics traditionally thought to be less susceptible to extremist ideals.
"We can kill a terrorist, but what we really need to do is kill the idea behind the terrorist," Bhadauria said.
Zhang Jiadong, director of Fudan University"s Center for South Asian Studies, said terrorism may not be extirpated, but it can be curbed through joint efforts and by achieving peace and economic development in distressed regions.

Maersk Interceptor to drill on the Hyrokkin Prospect
Aker BP has received consent from Norway's Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) to drill two wells on the Hyrokkin prospect. The wells, designated 25/4-11 and 25/4-12 will be drilled by the Maersk Interceptor harsh environment jackup.
Oil discovery east of the Frigg field in the North Sea - 25/2-18 S, 25/2-18 A, 25/2-18 B and 25/2-18 C
Aker BP ASA, operator of production licence 442, has concluded the drilling of wildcat well 25/2-18 S and appraisal wells 25/2-18 A, 25/2-18 B and 25/2-18 C. The wells were drilled four kilometres south of the 25/2-10 S (Frigg Gamma Delta) oil/gas discovery and eight kilometres north of the shut down Frøy field in the North Sea. The objective of well 25/2-18 S was to prove petroleum in Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks belonging to the Vestland Group (the Hugin and Sleipner formation). The other three wells were drilled to delineate the discovery. 25/2-18 S encountered two oil columns in the Hugin formation, 30 and 86 metres in total, both of which had about 20 metres of sandstones with moderate to good reservoir quality. Appraisal well 25/2-18 A, which was drilled one kilometre toward the southeast in relation to 25/2-18 S, also encountered two oil columns in the Hugin formation, 34 and 27 metres in total, both with about 25 metres of sandstones with moderate to good reservoir quality. Appraisal well 25/2-18 B, which was drilled 1.4 kilometres north of 25/2-18 S to test the northern segment, encountered the Hugin formation with aquiferous sandstones of about 15 and 75 metres, both with moderate reservoir quality. The well is classified as dry. Appraisal well 25/2-18 C, which was drilled one kilometre west of 25/2-18 S, encountered three oil columns in the Hugin formation totalling 27, 23 and 55 metres, of which 15, 11 and 10 metres of sandstones of moderate to good reservoir quality. A 7-metre condensate column was also encountered, of which 3 metres in sandstones of moderate reservoir quality. Preliminary estimates place the size of the discovery between 4 and 12 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalents. The licensees are assessing the discovery along with other nearby discoveries with a view towards potential development. Extensive data acquisition and sampling have been carried out. Two successful formation tests (DST) were conducted in 25/2-18 A. The maximum production rate was 600 Sm3 of oil per flow day through a 40/64-inch nozzle opening in the lowermost oil zone. The gas-oil ratio is 140 Sm3/Sm3. The production rate in the uppermost oil zone was 210 Sm3 of oil per flow day through a 24/64-inch nozzle opening. The gas-oil ratio was 164 Sm3/Sm3. The formation tests showed moderate flow properties. The wells are the second, third, fourth and fifth exploration wells in production licence 442. The licence was awarded in APA 2006. Wells 25/2-18 S, 25/2-18 A, 25/2-18 B and 25/2-18 C were drilled to respective measured depths of 3870, 4066, 4335 and 4369 metres below the sea surface, and vertical depths of 3813, 3723, 3803 and 4029 metres below the sea surface. All of the wells were terminated in the Dunlin Group in the Lower Jurassic. Water depth at the site is 121 metres. The wells will be permanently plugged and abandoned. Wells 25/2-18 S, 25/2-18 A, 25/2-18 B and 25/2-18 C were drilled by the Maersk Interceptor drilling facility, which will now proceed to production licence PL 001B - Ivar Aasen, where the plan is for the rig to drill three water injector wells and one oil producer.

The drilling programme for well 25/10-15 S relates to the drilling of a wildcat well in production licence 626, where Det norske oljeselskap ASA is the operator with an ownership interest of 50 per cent. The other licensees are Tullow Oil Norge AS with 30 per cent, MOL Norge AS with 10 per cent and Fortis Petroleum Norway AS with 10 per cent. The area in this licence consists of part of block 25/10. The well will be drilled in the northeastern part of the licence, which is located in the central North Sea. Production licence 626 was awarded on 3 February 2012 (APA 2011). This is the first exploration well to be drilled in the licence, but the third well within the area in which the licence is located. The permit is contingent upon the operator securing all other permits and consents required by other authorities prior to commencing drilling activities.
Delineation of the 16/1-7 oil discovery in the North Sea – 16/1-26 S and 16/1-26 A
Det norske oljeselskap AS, operator of production licence 001 B, has concluded the drilling of appraisal wells 16/1-26 S and 16/1-26 A. The wells were drilled about 1.5 kilometres southeast of the 16/1-7 discovery well in the central part of the North Sea. The 16/1-7 (West Cable) oil discovery was proven in Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks (the Sleipner formation) in 2004 and is part of the Ivar Aasen field. The size of the discovery prior to drilling the appraisal wells was 2.1 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalents. The objective of appraisal wells 16/1-26 S and 16/1-26 A was to prove additional recoverable oil resources in the southern part of the 16/1-7 discovery, in Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks (the Sleipner formation) closer to the main structure on the Ivar Aasen field. The appraisal wells were drilled from a production well being drilled from the Ivar Aasen platform. 16/1-26 S encountered a gas/oil column of about 25 metres in Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks (the Hugin formation), of which 15 metres were sandstone of moderate to good reservoir quality. The oil/water contact was not encountered, but was estimated to be at approximately 2700 metres vertical depth. This is shallower than the previously estimated oil/water contact for the 16/1-7-discovery. 16/1-26 A encountered about 75 metres of sandstone in the Sleipner formation with moderate to good reservoir quality, but is dry. Preliminary estimates place the additional resources at between 0.5 and 2 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalents. The licensees will assess recovery of the additional resources. The results have yielded valuable information as regards final placement of the development well on the 16/1-7 discovery. None of the wells were formation-tested, but data acquisition and sampling have been carried out. Wells 16/1-26 S and 16/1-26 A were drilled to measured depths of 5309 and 4888 metres, respectively, and vertical depths of 2912 and 3044 metres below the sea surface. The wells were terminated in the Skagerrak formation in the Upper Triassic and the Sleipner formation in the Middle Jurassic, respectively. The wells have been permanently plugged and abandoned. Water depth is 113 metres. The wells were drilled using the Maersk Interceptor drilling facility, which will now continue with the pre-drilling programme on the Ivar Aasen field, which has a planned production start-up date of 1 December 2016.

The permit is contingent upon the operator securing all other permits and consents required by other authorities prior to commencing drilling activities.
Det Norske completes two Ivar Aasen appraisal wells
Det norske oljeselskap AS, operator of the Ivar Aasen field, has completed the drilling of appraisal wells 16/1-22 S, 16/1-22 A and 16/1-22 B. The field is located in the central part of the North Sea and was proven in 2008. The size of the field prior to drilling the appraisal wells was 24 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil, 1 million Sm3 of recoverable condensate and 4.5 billion Sm3 of recoverable gas. The objective of well 16/1-22 S was to investigate reservoir rocks and reservoir quality, as well as secure depth control along the west flank of the field in Middle Jurassic to Upper Triassic reservoir rocks (the Hugin, Sleipner and Skagerrak formations) in order to optimise well sites with a view to the drainage strategy. Sidetracks 16/1-22 A and 16/1-22 B were drilled 1000 metres northeast and 1350 metres north, respectively, of 16/1-22 S in order to investigate reservoir rocks and perform additional data acquisition. 16/1-22 A also aimed to investigate an underlying seismic anomaly. 16/1-22 S encountered a 3-metre oil column in sandstone of good to very good reservoir quality in the Skagerrak formation. The oil is saturated with a gas/oil ratio of about 160 Sm3/Sm3, as is the case otherwise in the western part of the field (16/1-11, 16/1-11 A and 16/1-9). The oil/water contact was not encountered, but was calculated at about 2435 metres, which is deeper than the previously calculated oil/water contact for the Skagerrak formation (16/1-11 A). 16/1-22 A encountered a total oil column of about 55 metres in the Skagerrak formation, 30 metres of which was in sandstone of varying reservoir quality, from moderate to very good. The oil/water contact was not encountered. The seismic anomaly is linked to the top of a total oil column of about 25 metres in underlying sandstone (alluvial fan), 15 metres of which had moderate reservoir properties. The oily part of the alluvial fan is not included in the field's previously reported reserves. 16/1-22 B encountered a total oil column of about 45 metres in the Skagerrak formation, 25 metres of which was in sandstone of good to very good reservoir quality. The oil/water contact was not encountered. None of the wells were formation-tested, but comprehensive data collection and sampling was conducted. The results have yielded valuable information as regards the final location of production and water injection wells. Gas was not encountered in the wells. The Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) of the Ivar Aasen field was submitted to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy on 21 December 2012. Wells 16/1-22 S, 16/1-22 A 16/1-22 B were drilled to measured depths of 2640, 2896 and 3215 metres, respectively, and vertical depths of 2562, 2468 and 2501 metres below the sea surface. They were all terminated in the Skagerrak formation in the Upper Triassic. The wells have been permanently plugged and abandoned. Water depth at the site is 113 metres. The wells were drilled by the Maersk Interceptor drilling facility, which will now continue production drilling on the Ivar Aasen field once the platform's jacket has been installed.
Det Norske set to drill new appraisal at Ivar Aasen field
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has granted Det norske oljeselskap AS a drilling permit for well 16/1-22 A, cf. Section 8 of the Resource Management Regulations. Well 16/1-22 A will be drilled from the Maersk Interceptor drilling facility in position 58°54'23.1'' north and 02°09'43.2'' east in production licence 001 B, after completing drilling of appraisal well 16/1-22 S. The drilling programme for well 16/1-22 A relates to the drilling of an appraisal well on the Ivar Aasen field, where Det norske is the operator with an ownership interest of 34.7862 per cent. The other licensees are Statoil Petroleum AS (41.4730 per cent), Bayerngas Norge AS (12.3173 per cent), Wintershall Norge AS (6.4615 per cent), VNG Norge AS (3.0230 per cent), Lundin Norway AS (1.3850 per cent) and OMV (Norge) AS (0.5540 per cent). The area in this licence is part of block 16/1. The well will be drilled in the south-western part of the Ivar Aasen field in the central part of the North Sea. Production licence 001 B was carved out on 1 September 1999 from production licence 001, which was awarded on 1 September 1965 (Licensing Round 1-A). This is the eighth exploration well to be drilled within the licence area, and the tenth on the Ivar Aasen field. The permit is conditional upon the operator securing all other permits and consents required by other authorities prior to commencing the drilling activity.
Det norske oljeselskap AS, operator of production licence 001 B, has completed drilling of appraisal wells 16/1-21 S and 16/1-21 A on the Ivar Aasen field. The field is located in the central part of the North Sea and was proven in 2008. The size of the field prior to drilling of these two appraisal wells was 24 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil, 1 million Sm3 of recoverable condensate and 4.5 billion Sm3 of recoverable gas. The primary target for wells 16/1-21 S and 16/1-21 A was to investigate reservoir rocks and reservoir quality, as well as the extent of an overlying gas cap in the eastern part of the field in Middle Jurassic to upper Triassic reservoir rocks (the Hugin, Sleipner and Skagerrak formations, as well as the Statfjord group). In addition, 16/1-21 S had a secondary exploration target in overlying Paleocene reservoir rocks (the Heimdal formation). 16/1-21 S encountered a total oil column of 54 metres, of which 25 metres were of good to very good reservoir quality in the Skagerrak formation. The oil is undersaturated, which is also the case in the eastern part of the field (16/1-16 and 16/1-16 A). The gas/oil ratio (GOR) in the oil zone is 130-145 Sm3/Sm3. The oil/water contact was not encountered, but was calculated at approx. 2436 metres, which is 2 metres deeper than previously assumed in the Skagerrak formation. Gas was not encountered in the well. In the Heimdal formation, the well encountered 27 metres of aquiferous sandstone of good to very good quality. 16/1-21 A encountered a total oil column of 41 metres and a 4-metre gas column, of which a total of 29 metres was of very good reservoir quality in the Sleipner and Skagerrak formations. The oil in the Sleipner formation is saturated, while the oil in the Skagerrak formation is largely undersaturated. The oil/water contact was not encountered. The well results have yielded valuable information as regards the final location of production and injection wells. Further work going forward will integrate the new data and contribute to increased field understanding. The Ivar Aase field field consists of production licences 001 B, 028 B, 242, 338 BS and 457. The Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) was submitted to the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy on 21 December 2012. Extensive data acquisition and sampling have been carried out. These are the fourth and fifth appraisal wells in production licence 001 B. This production licence was carved out of production licence 001 on 15 December 1999. PL001 was originally awarded on 1 September 1965 (round 1-A). Wells 16/1-21 S and 16/1-21 A were drilled to measured depths of 2630 and 3313 metres, respectively, and vertical depths of 2530 and 2463 metres below the sea surface. Both were terminated in the Skagerrak formation in the Upper Triassic. The wells have been permanently plugged and abandoned. Water depth at the site is 113 metres. The wells were drilled by the Maersk Interceptor drilling facility, which will now continue drilling appraisal well 16/1-22 S in the western part of the Ivar Aasen field.
Det Norske given approval to drill appraisal well on Ivar Aasen
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate granted Det norske oljeselskap AS a drilling permit for well 16/1-22 S, cf. Section 8 of the Resource Management Regulations. Well 16/1-22 S will be drilled from the Maersk Interceptor drilling facility at position 58°54'23.1'' north 02°09'43.2'' east in production licence 001 B, after completing the drilling of appraisal wells 16/1-21 S and 16/1-21 A. The drilling programme for well 16/1-22 S relates to the drilling of an appraisal well on the Ivar Aasen field, where Det norske is the operator with an ownership interest of 34.7862 per cent. The other licensees are Statoil Petroleum AS with 41.4730 per cent, Bayerngas Norge AS with 12.3173 per cent, Wintershall Norge AS with 6.4615 per cent, VNG Norge AS with 3.0230 per cent, Lundin Norway AS with 1.3850 per cent and OMV (Norge) AS with 0.5540 per cent. The area in this licence consists of part of block 16/1. The well was drilled in the south-western part of the Ivar Aasen field in the central part of the North Sea. On 1 September 1999, production licence 001 B was carved out of production licence 001, which was awarded on 1 September 1965 (Round 1-A). This is the seventh exploration well to be drilled within the licence area and the ninth on the Ivar Aasen field. The permit is contingent upon the operator securing all other permits and consents required by other authorities prior to commencing drilling activities.
'Maersk Interceptor' begins Ivar Aasen drilling
The drilling rig Maersk Interceptor has commenced the drilling programme on the Ivar Aasen field in the North Sea. The campaign has a duration of three years and comprises a total of 15 wells in addition to three pilot wells. Det norske oljeselskap ("Det norske") is the operator of the Ivar Aasen field (production licenses 001B, 028B, 242, 338 and 457). The drilling programme for the Ivar Aasen field kicks off with the drilling of three pilot wells for further mapping of the underground. The drilling of pilot wells will be concluded by the summer of 2015. The three upcoming pilot wells are important to the licensees. They will enable us to retrieve important reservoir information at an earlier stage. This will create added value for the Ivar Aasen licence, says Inge Sundet, the drilling manager for Ivar Aasen. The drilling campaign on Ivar Aasen will be carried out by the drilling rig Maersk Interceptor, the world's largest jack-up rig. The rig has been contracted by Det norske for a period of five years, with an option of additional two years. The Ivar Aasen field is planned developed with a total of 15 wells; eight production wells and seven water injection wells. The Ivar Aasen field comprises three deposits: Ivar Aasen, West Cable and Hanz. Ivar Aasen is located west of the Johan Sverdrup field and contains 210 million barrels of oil equivalents. Production start-up is planned for the fourth quarter of 2016. The economic life of the field may be 20 years, depending on oil price and production trends. Det norske oljeselskap ASA is the operator for the Ivar Aasen development, holding a 34.7862 per cent interest in the field. Partners are Statoil, Bayerngas, Wintershall, VNG, Lundin and OMV.
PSA approves 'Maersk Interceptor' for Ivar Aasen drilling
Det norske oljeselskap ASA (Det norske) is the operator on the Ivar Aasen field, in block 16/1 in the central North Sea. The field is around 175 kilometres west of Karmøy in Rogaland county. Det norske will be drilling three appraisal wells, designated 16/1-21 S, 16/1-21 A and 16/1-22. The first two consist of a main bore and a sidetrack, meaning that the three wells will be drilled from two different locations.The combined duration of the drilling activities will be 153 days. The water depth at the two locations is 113 and 111 metres. The wells will be drilled using the Maersk Interceptor mobile drilling facility, operated by Maersk Drilling Norge AS. The facility was delivered by the Keppel FELS Shipyard in Singapore in 2014. It is registered in Singapore and classified by DNV GL.

the sunrise ritual
I was re-reading all my X-Men titles for research (no, really!) and I realised that there hasn't been a single argument between Scott and Gambit. Not one! Granted, they haven't talked to each other much either. I got to thinking: they have pretty similar backgrounds and complementary personalities. At worst, they hate each other so much they can't even stand to talk to each other. But what if they were (gasp) friends!?! I mean, honestly, does Scott have a best friend around the mansion? And although Gambit and Storm are written in as best friends/confidants, I can't really see her and Remy kicking their feet back on the couch to watch a Rangers game. And, well, this is what my little plot bunnies came up with.
Remy loped into the hangar, six-pack of Heinekens in one hand and an unlit cigarette in the other. It was way past midnight; probably close to three or four in the morning. It was funny how they were both up in time to see the sunrise. They were dayenders for him though, while for Scotty, they started it off.
As always, Scott was puttering around in the guts of the Blackbird. The mansion had two schools on thought on him post-Apocalypse-takeover. Half of the X-Men went on blithely believing that nothing had changed, nothing could change, and nothing would ever change. The other half thought that he underwent a drastic personality switch. Remy sat firmly on the fence. The Scott he knew had always been like this: madly driven, sarcastic, skirting on the edge of wild. He just felt the need to hide it before. Why, Remy never fully understood.
He stood at the foot of the ladder. Looking up led to an unobstructed view of Scotty's denim-clad hienie. Remy shook the ladder. "Hey you."
Scott's head popped out from the depths of the engines. A corner of his mouth lifted upward. "That better be Heineken or you're a dead man, Rems."
"Scotty, vieux, never underestimate a Cajun's ability t'get a woman, cook a mean barbecue, an' find de best brew in town." He shook the ladder again, harder this time. "Now stop inhalin' dem gas fumes an' help me say hello t'de sun, hein?"
Scott slid down the ladder, catching the rag that Rems threw at his face without having to turn his head. He wiped his fingers, watching the other man walk to the hangar doors with a gracefulness that could only be accomplished if one was double-jointed everywhere or had bones made of Jell-o.
The Cajun slapped the switch for the hangar doors. The hydraulics hissed open, letting in a blast of cool night air. He planted his ass on the edge of the floor, putting the sixpack to one-side and his cigarettes on the other. Moments later, Scott was beside him, already grabbing one of the longnecks.
Most of the sky was still dark. Still, the strongest of the stars only barely visible to the naked eye as a result of the pollution and city lights. Remy could see more than the average eye with his night vision, of course. Scott was the opposite but he could already see the darkness start to leech from the horizon. He knocked back half the beer in one swallow.
"Easy, vieux," said Remy with a short chuckle. "Plenty t'go round, hein?" He puffed contentedly at his newly lit cigarette. Herbal ones instead of tobacco, a compromise he and Rogue made around Christmas. "'Sides, wit' all de work you been doin', it's gon' hit you hard."
Scott almost chuckled as well. "My tolerance for alcohol has hit an all time high. I could probably knock back a mickey of vodka and just get a pleasant buzz."
"Since when you need to knock back a whole mickey?"
"I didn't say I have. Just that I could." His smile toned down. "Christ, Rems, don't tell me you're going to harp about trauma and talking about my experience, too. I've been getting enough of that from Jean."
Remy shrugged. "Said nothin' o' de sort." He opened up his first beer and took a sip. "Have been feelin' a bit neglected, though. We don't get time t'hit de town like we used to, hein?" He batted his eyes and puckered his lips playfully. "Don' you love me no more?"
Heavy furrows formed above Scott's glasses. That was a new one; used to be Remy only had intuition to guess at the other man's emotions.
"We kind of need to have a lower profile," Scott said caustically.
"Pah." Remy waved the excuse away. "We hit pool halls an' clubs wearin' our leathers an' shades at night before."
"That was before."
"An' what's now? George Effin' Orwell's 1984?" He pointed the mouth of his Heineken at Scott. "You gonna start keepin' to 'your kind' now like de rest o' dem in there?"
"Get that out of my face," Scott said, pushing Remy's bottle away. "And, no, I'm not going to closet myself, okay? I just… need to think."
"You just need to brood," Remy corrected. "You can't. Dat's my department an' I don't like sharin' my roof."
"That's why I stay in the hangar. Too dangerous on that roof anyway. The shingles always get loose and it's a good hundred-foot drop from your little perch." Scott's smirk came back full-blown. "Pretty heavy price to pay for a dramatic pose, isn't it?"
"Shaddup and drink your damned beer, Scotty."
They finished off two beer each before anyone spoke again.
"Sorry for putting that whole leadership thing on you," said Scott. "When I put the clause in, I didn't really expect it to be implemented."
One of Remy's eyebrows cocked up. "Yeah, you an' everyone else in de team. Worthington had t'be given oxygen, psychotherapy, an' a heavy dose o' Valium when he heard." He would have added a few choice adjectives about the winged mutant but refrained; Scott had the same type of loyalty to the first X-Men as Remy himself did for the Guild.
"You held up all right for a swamp rat," said Scott. "No major scars. No losses."
"No respect. No chance o' gettin' my orders across wit'out Stormy or Rogue t'back me up."
"Your little suave loner act came back to bite you on the ass?"
"Just like your fearless leader act, hein?"
When Scott stiffened, Remy almost wanted to take that back… Almost.
"You're an asswipe, Rems," said Scott in a conversational tone.
"Just 'cause I be de only one who have de brains t'see your act or 'cause I got de guts to tell you so?"
"Nope, neither. You're just an asswipe."
"Ah."
Light slowly washed the sky with greens and pale peaches, just gentle enough for Remy to appreciate the beauty without his eyes watering. The crickets were toning down some, too, their song getting picked up by the birds in the woods. A few more hours and the birds would be drowned out by the people sounds in the mansion and outside; the voices and cars and things getting dropped.
As pretty as New England was this time of the year, he still missed the bayou. Everything was… thicker there. He always thought Scotty could do with a nice long vacation in New Orleans but doubted the man could stand being that lazy. Work, work, work… liked the devil would catch his tail if he stood still for a minute or three. Before the whole Apocalypse incident, it would take a whole lot more cajoling before he could tear Scott from whatever work needed to be done Right Now and only By Him. Today not only marked the first day they did their little ritual after Scott's "death" but also, Remy realised, the first time Scott came at the first call.
"Hey, Rems," said Scott. "You ever test that fight-sim I made up before?"
Remy shook his head. "I wasn't in charge o' de practice runs. Ask Rogue."
"Hmmm." Scoot lipped his bottle thoughtfully.
Remy tilted his head to one side. "Why ask?"
"It was set in the bayou," he replied. "I wanted to know it if was accurate."
"Pointless now."
Scott shrugged. "Maybe." He finished off his beer, set it back in the carton and stood up. "Okay, then. Back to work for me."
Stretching and yawning, Remy said, "I got a hot date wit' my bed, vieux."
Clicking his tongue, Scott said with sorrow, "Feeling your age, are you?"
Remy flipped him the bird. "You at least a year older dan me, Scotty-boy; I wouldn't talk." He, too, came to his feet after picking up the empties. "Don't give y'self an ulcer, hear?"
"I'll try," said Scott as he switched the doors closed and headed back to the jet. Halfway there, he turned around, digging in his pocket. "Almost forgot. Here." He held his hand out.
Remy accepted automatically. It was the key to his Harley. "What's this?"
"Got it tuned, waxed, and made a few mods." Scott shrugged. "I was kind of out of town on your birthday so I had to make it up."
Swallowing, Remy only nodded. Scott did as well, slightly embarrassed. They shook hands, paused, then pulled each other into a backslapping embrace. Finally, Remy spun around on his heel and exited the hangar, leaving Scott puttering away on the jet like the past half-hour hadn't happened.
