STEPHENVILLE, Texas — A smile crept across John Cason's face. "This is the most exciting project I've ever been a part of," he said.
Texas is famous for its wide-open highways dotted the trucks that carry all the things we rely on to get through the day. Diesel engines are everywhere you look, and Cason is bringing them back to their roots.
“Chevron is interested in starting a new, basically a whole new industry,” Cason stated.
And he believes that industry can sprout from the fields in front of him.
Stephenville is a quiet but growing city of 21,000 approximately 60 miles southwest of Fort Worth. It is the home of Tarleton State University. A couple miles away from campus sits a Texas A&M Agrilife research station that houses A&M’s renowned peanut research center. Cason, an assistant professor of peanut breeding and genetics, started working here as a TSU student and has stayed for more than 25 years, including the last three as the lead breeder.
“We do research here at the center, but we also are statewide,” he explained. “So I have research plots in 13 locations, and about nine different counties that produce peanuts in Texas, that stretches from Gaines County, which is southwest of Lubbock, all the way down to south of San Antonio in Atascosa and Frio County.”
That experience played a role in landing a five-year, multimillion-dollar contract with Chevron to develop new species of peanut that might be suitable to use as a renewable source of diesel fuel.
“The peanuts that we're going to grow are going to be crushed for all, and then taken to refineries to be refined into aviation fuel or renewable diesel,” Cason said.
Chevron is building the capacity to produce 100,000 barrels a day of renewable fuels in its manufacturing system by 2030.
“Chevron is thrilled to team with Texas A&M AgriLife to work to develop the next generation of renewable fuel feedstocks,” Michelle Young, renewables program manager for Chevron Downstream Technology and Services, said in a press release announcing the partnership. “This collaboration has the potential to deliver high-quality oil to produce renewable fuels while providing peanut farmers in the U.S. with another way to maximize the value of their operations.”
This project also connects the future of transportation with its past.
“Rudolf Diesel, I don't know if you've ever heard that name, but he created the diesel engine,” Cason went on. “And when he premiered that at the World's Fair in 1900, it was running off of peanut oil. And petroleum kind of came on the scene sometime around that, and plant-based fuels kind of went to the wayside. But, I think they, in the future, I think they're going to become more and more important.”
Most of the peanuts grown in the US are meant to be eaten and fall into four varieties: Spanish, Virginia, Runner, and Valencia. However, Cason said there are also 83 wild varieties that are known to exist. Most of them can be found inside the greenhouses in Stephenville thanks to the explorer’s nature Charles Simpson displayed during his long career in charge of the breeding center. Some of the wild varieties already have a high oil content, but Cason said they cannot be farmed and mass-produced. That is where the A&M team comes in.
“Our hope,” Cason explained, “is we can find something in that wild collection by doing an extensive screening and identify something that's high and use it to cross into a cultivated peanut to really get the percentage up.”
If they can get more oil out of the peanuts, that is good for Chevron. But Cason has 22 team members working with him on this project so they can make it worthwhile for farmers, too.
“Because in my estimation, this could be huge for not only peanut production in Texas, but also just agriculture in general," Cason said.
According to the National Peanut Board, Texas produces nine percent of the nation’s peanuts, which ranks fourth among states. Georgia is the number-one state for peanut production, with approximately half of the country’s output.
“Now they get 48 inches of rain a year,” Cason said of Georgia. “So not quite the same as here. Here in Central Texas, we get 35. Out southwest, (near) Lubbock, they get more like 12.”
Peanut production in Texas requires irrigation, so Cason wants to make this high-performing peanut drought-resistant, as well.
“Most of our peanut production is out southwest of Lubbock, in the Ogallala Aquifer,” he added. "Andd that aquifer is declining each year and becoming, it's becoming pretty critical. And so in the next 20 years, we're facing a water shortage where we're looking at how are we going to maintain the production levels that we have. And in this particular scenario, to get the lowest carbon footprint and to be as environmentally sustainable as possible, we're looking at low input options, and one of those is dryland production.”
According to Texas A&M Agrilife, if peanuts get 27 inches of rain from either rain or irrigation, a plot will produce roughly 5,000 pounds per acre. In 2020, a research plot in Lubbock received fewer than 12 inches of water and produced just 2,800 pounds of edible peanuts per acre.
If they succeed, Cason and his team will have made a crop that could flourish and take root all over the state. Cason believes some farmers could add peanuts to their crop rotation while others restart farms that have since gone dormant.
“When I first found out about this project about a year ago, I mean, I've laid awake many nights since then, thinking about all the possibilities and what this could mean for peanut producers, but also just, you know, Texas Agri in general.”
Cason said, when crossing a wild peanut with a cultivated peanut, it may take three or four years to create a new line and have enough seeds for a farmer to plant. In a project like this, with more documentation and oversight, he suspects it may take between five and seven years to develop the right peanut.
But the possibilities will drive him to keep working until he makes the peanut that gets tractors and tractor trailers moving.

fans of masked singer Last night’s show saw the identity of The Baby. The character appeared as actor and comedian Daniel Lawrence Whitney, better known as Larry the Cable Guy. The judges claimed they were “shocked” at the revelations. But fans believe the character’s reveal was quite “predictable”.
Our Baby Prediction Didn’t Come True
in our report about masked singer, we predicted that the baby was family Guy Producer Seth MacFarlane.
“The character is singing “My First, My Last, My Everything” by Barry White,” we wrote. MacFarlane has stated that he is a big fan of soul music. Second, one of Family Guy’s most famous characters is Stevie Griffin, who is “The Baby” on the show. Third, in the preview episode, Baby claimed that He was “never classy”—and MacFarlane is known for his raw, off-color humor.
The Baby was revealed on the show last night. Comedian and actor Larry the Cable Guy turns out to be the man behind the mask.

According to Boardon the judges masked singer Was very surprised by the revelation. The outlet claimed that the celebrity judges couldn’t believe the person who “Git’R’Done!” popularized the phrase. Baby was behind. Ken Jeong, in particular, seemed very surprised at the reveal.
You can watch a video of The Baby’s performance below.
Additionally, Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg was impressed that The Baby sang an “operable” version of flintstones theme song. Was she impressed by the sound? Or was she trying to hide the fact that the song’s choice left the celebrity behind the mask?
Fans felt it was too predictable

But it was the first time he had actually done it. and the surprise of the judges was based on the fact that they was not Pick up Larry the Cable Guy during Baby’s first performance.

The car in his package was a clue to Larry’s role as the voice of Tow Mater in Disney’s “Cars.” Larry replaced Arnold Schwarzenegger in the sequel to “Jingle All the Way.” Teeth in Baby’s Package There was a clue to Larry’s starring role in “Tooth Fairy 2”. The badge in Baby’s package was a clue to Larry’s role as a deputy in “Witless Protection”, which featured none other than Jenny herself.
Who will be the next celebrity to be revealed behind the mask? We have to tune in for the upcoming episodes of Bus masked singer To find out for sure.

The head of Save the Children Australia says the charity has been treated as a scapegoat by the Australian and Nauru governments during its time at the asylum seeker detention centre.
The charity wound up its operations on Nauru on Saturday, after the Australian government granted the welfare contract to the multinational, Transfield Services.
Its tenure has been controversial, with Canberra last year deporting nine workers after they were accused of encouraging detainees to self harm and fabricate stories of abuse.
An independent inquiry later found no evidence of this.
The charity has since been subject to police raids on Nauru.
Save the Children's chief executive, Paul Ronalds, says they have been unfairly targetted.
"I suppose when the other main provider of services for the Australian government is a large multinational it is easier to target an organisation like the Save the Children, or at least it might appear that way to the governments of Australia and Nauru. But as the Moss Report found, Save the Children staff have worked with the utmost professionalism at all times."
Paul Ronalds says Save the Children is seeking compensation for the wrongful deportation of staff.


Colts quarterback Carson Wentz says every NFL player — and every person — needs someone they can open up to.
Asked about NFL players’ mental health in an interview with Beth Hoole of Valley News Live in North Dakota, Wentz said it’s becoming more acceptable for players to reach out to someone when they need help.
“It’s sad that it wasn’t socially acceptable, but I think it’s more understood because I think everyone can relate,” Wentz said. “I think it’s OK, and people are realizing that it’s OK, to not be OK and to talk about it. Everyone’s got somebody in their life, whether it’s a counselor, teammate, friend, brother, wife, pastor, whatever that is, and if they don’t have that hopefully they can find that. I’ve been fortunate to have people in my life when things are going south or I’m struggling, to have an honest conversation, to refocus and reframe my mindset, and I think that’s so important for everybody, but especially in the NFL with all the pressures and all the things that get thrown at us it’s definitely been acceptable. You see guys being honest and open and vulnerable, not all the time, but it’s becoming a little bit more normal and OK and I think it’s encouraging for people to see that, you know, us big strong football players can be vulnerable, can be real people that go through real stuff and that it’s OK to say ‘I’m struggling.’”
It was obvious that Wentz had on-field struggles last season in Philadelphia, but he appears more comfortable now in Indianapolis, and he says he’s had people he could count on to help him get through the struggles of the last year.

The initial unrolling of the federal government’s new single-email system for Canada’s public servants has slipped six months behind schedule, just a year into the awarding of a multi-million-dollar contract for the overhaul.
Shared Services Canada (SSC), considered the largest IT shop in the country, still expects the new system to be up and running by 2015, but internal updates show the start of the initial pilot project – or “wave zero” – of users moving to the system in January was rescheduled for April, and now has been shifted to August.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
A year ago, Bell Canada and CGI Information Systems won the nearly $400-million, seven-year contract to implement and run the new email system, which is to replace 63 systems in 43 different department and agencies.
In an email, SSC officials said the contractors asked for more time to ensure that all security and technical requirements meet the government’s standards.

How effective is river restoration in re-establishing groundwater–surface water interactions? – A case study
- 1Department of Water Resources and Drinking Water, Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, Überlandstrasse 133, 8600 Dübendorf, Switzerland
- 2The Centre of Hydrogeology and Geothermics (CHYN), University of Neuchâtel, Rue Emil-Argand 11, 2000 Neuchâtel, Switzerland
- 3Department of Surface Waters, Eawag, Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, Seestrasse 79, 6047 Kastanienbaum, Switzerland
Abstract. In this study, we investigated whether river restoration was successful in re-establishing groundwater–surface water interactions in a degraded urban stream. Restoration measures included morphological changes to the river bed, such as the installation of gravel islands and spur dykes, as well as the planting of site-specific riparian vegetation. Standard distributed temperature sensing (DTS) and novel active and passive DTS approaches were employed to study groundwater–surface water interactions in two reference streams and an experimental reach of an urban stream before and after its restoration. Radon-222 analyses were utilized to validate the losing stream conditions of the urban stream in the experimental reach. Our results indicated that river restoration at the study site was indeed successful in increasing groundwater–surface water interactions. Increased surface water downwelling occurred locally at the tip of a gravel island created during river restoration. Hence, the installation of in-stream structures increased the vertical connectivity and thus groundwater–surface water interactions. With the methods presented in this publication, it would be possible to routinely investigate the success of river restorations in re-establishing vertical connectivity, thereby gaining insight into the effectiveness of specific restoration measures. This, in turn, would enable the optimization of future river restoration projects, rendering them more cost-effective and successful.

According to Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer the Bobcats will announce that they wish to change their name to the Hornets Tuesday.
As many know, the Bobcats were originally the Charlotte Hornets throughout the nineties before being moved to New Orleans in 2002. New Orleans changed their name to the Pelicans, giving the Bobcats the opportunity to reclaim the Hornets name.
The announcement will take place at Time Warner Cable arena Tuesday at 6 p.m. EST.
This does not come as too much of a surprise considering news broke Saturday that the Bobcats started the name-changing process. I do find it weird that the team chose to make the announcement on the same day as the draft lottery, however. Maybe they're looking for some luck. Either way, according to Adam Silver, a name change can't take place for another 18 months which means the Bobcats would not be able to officially adopt the Hornets name until the 2014-2015 season.

3-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Covered Date Nut Bars for a healthy treat! Just dates, nuts, melted dark chocolate and 10 minutes in the freezer. Vegan and paleo-friendly recipe.
This might be one of THE healthiest desserts on FMK.
This has been a long time reader favorite and for good reason:
These date nut bars are super easy, no-bake, vegan friendly and gluten free and takes less than 30 minutes to make!
Just Three Ingredients
And all you need are these simple ingredients:
- Medjool dates – a good source of potassium and fiber.
- Nuts – lots of healthy fats.
- Dark chocolate – antioxidants.
And having a food processor or high powered blender helps!
What can you expect from this recipe?
You would not believe that three ingredients such as these would be so amazingly satisfying together, but they really are!
These date and nut bars…
- Have a soft, sweet base
- Are nutty and caramel-like in flavor, thanks to the Medjool dates.
- Come with a dark chocolate topping that can easily be elevated with bits of flaked sea salt.
Make in 5 Easy Steps
This recipe is truly so simple to make and such a delicious, nutritious treat.
They come together in four simple steps! Keep reading for step-by-step photos and quick instructions.
Step 1 – Soak Dates
If your dates are dry, you’re going to want to soak them in warm water for about 5 minutes. If they’re super fresh and juicy, there’s no need to soak them, you may just need to add a tablespoon of water to the food processor in the next step.
Step 2 – Pulse Nuts & Dates
In the bowl of your food processor (or high powered blender) pulse together the nuts and pitted Medjool dates.
What kind of nuts to use
I like to use a mix of nuts for flavor and texture. I recommend using a mixture of softer and harder nuts, like cashews, almonds, pecans and walnuts.
But if you have a sensitivity or allergy to a certain nut, you can create your own mix or just use one nut variety.
Step 3 – Press into Pan
Once your nuts and dates have blended together and a sticky mixture has formed, you’ll press the date mixture into a lined 9×5 loaf pan. I love this roller.
Note: If using an 8×8 pan, the base of these bars will be thinner.
Step 4 – Cover in Melted Chocolate
Cover the bars in a melted chocolate of your choice. I typically go for dark chocolate.
TIP: melt your chocolate in a pan over low heat. I used the Always Pan and love the ceramic non-stick coating.
NOTE: When melting the chocolate, you may find that adding a teaspoon of coconut oil will help smooth the chocolate out while melting. Many store-bought brands of chocolate are not great quality and can seize up when microwaving, so just be mindful of that.
Step 5 – Chill until Set
Place the pan in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. If using the freezer, you’ll need about 10 minutes.
How to Prevent Cracks When Cutting
To prevent the chocolate topping from cracking when cutting into, the trick is to make sure the chocolate has been chilled long enough to set, but not frozen solid.
If you forgot the pan was in the freezer or fridge and your chocolate is as hard as a rock, your best bet is to allow the bars to come to room temperature before cutting. Running a sharp knife under hot water will help too.
To store these bars you can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for about one week, or keep in the fridge and enjoy within a couple of weeks.

These 3-Ingredient Dark Chocolate Covered Date Nut Bars are such a simple, good-for-you treat you’re most definitely going to want to keep your fridge stocked! All you need is a food processor, dates, nuts, melted dark chocolate and 10 minutes in the freezer for this healthy yet delectable dessert. Vegan and paleo-friendly.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Yield: 12 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Method: food processor

- Make mixture: In a food processor add drained/pitted dates and nuts. Process until dates and nuts have broken down, and only small pieces of nuts can be seen. Mixture should be sticky. Transfer mixture to prepared pan, pressing evenly into all corners and press down flat. I like this roller.
- Melt chocolate: Using stovetop and small saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate, stirring frequently until smooth. Pour over bars and spread evenly.
- Chill: Place bars in freezer for 10 minutes to allow chocolate layer to set, or fridge for a about 30 minutes. Remove bars from pan and place on cutting mat for easier slicing. Using knife, gently slice into bars.
STORING – Bars can be kept at room temperature but best enjoyed within one week. If storing in fridge, enjoy within two weeks.

Sleeping an hour longer daily may lead to a lower chance of the accumulation of calcium plaques in coronary artery tracts, predicting possibleheart disease , said a study published in the December 24 issue of Journal of American Medical Association. The researchers report that one additional hour of sleep per night lowered the estimated odds of calcification by 33%.
Christopher Ryan King, B.S. (University of Chicago) and his team started this study in 2001 with 495 individuals( black and white people between the ages 35 and 47) to test if a scientifically measured sleep duration was linked to the development of calcification over a 5 year period.
Coronary artery as a risk factor for atherosclerotic heart disease, also shares many of the other confounding risk factors for heart disease like old age, sex, race, obesity, education, tobacco use, apnea risk,blood pressure, alcoholism and others.

Flowers Must Die hailing all the way from Sweden are coming to Bristol’s Cube next week, along with their captivating sound somewhere between psychedelia and krautrock. With a new album ‘Kompost’ via Rocket Recordings on the way, band member Rickard Daun spared some time to take us through life in the band:
You’re about to release your new album ‘ Kompost’, can you tell us a little bit about the album?
Yes it will come out on the 28th of April, the same day we will play at The Cube in Bristol. We are very excited, as for all releases but this ones feels special. The three first albums was self released and with hardly no distribution or press. So we are both a bit worried and eager to know how our old fans and potential new ones find our album. It is a very diverse album and I think it is an album that you will not get tired of in the first time...

Why You Should Invest in This Chip Monopoly
In the age of mobile chips, vertical integration ain't what it used to be.
Intel's learning that the hard way, as all of its advantages in manufacturing are doing it little favors in gaining meaningful traction in mobile devices. Its earnings release last night is proof of that, as full-year sales in its all-important PC client group were down 3%, even as the chip giant expects to spend another $13 billion on capital expenditures in the coming year.
The microprocessor value chain continues to segment, and when it comes to the chip fabrication part of that equation, Taiwan Semiconductor is king. The company owned nearly half of the chip foundry market in 2011 and is expected to grow its share this year as manufacturing technologies continue to advance.
The company just reported its fourth quarter figures and posted a 25.4% increase in sales to $4.5 billion. Chairman and CEO Morris Chang said the company has achieved nearly 100% market share in the market for 28-nanometer chip manufacturing and expects wafer shipments to triple in 2013.
Let bygones be bygones
Throughout 2012, TSMC faced hurdles with 28-nanometer chip production that severely hindered several key customers. NVIDIA's new Kepler GPUs saw some supply constraints, while Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors and baseband modems were similarly bottlenecked. Those challenges are now in the rearview mirror and TSMC has made a lot of progress ramping up 28-nanometer production.
That manufacturing node was just 5% of total revenue in the first quarter of last year, climbing to 22% of sales in the fourth quarter. Chang said 28-nanometer chip revenue for the full year was $2.1 billion, or roughly 12% of overall 2012 sales. He also expects that figure to rise to $6.2 billion in 2013.
Chang's comments hint that the long-rumored Apple deal is in the works. Apple has reportedly already begun trial production of A6X processors on the 28-nanometer process, while currently it still primarily uses Samsung's 32-nanometer process for the A6X. It's also been speculated that Intel has been entertaining the idea of taking on Apple's foundry business, even if that means producing ARM-based processors.
Apple business always entails monster volumes, and the two companies have no known direct relationship right now. Apple indirectly gets chips from TSMC, though, via other chip makers like Qualcomm (baseband modems) and Broadcom (Wi-Fi combo chips), and it's just a matter of time before it ditches Samsung.
Sounds about right
Earlier this month, Citigroup analyst Roland Shu outlined how the foundry market is transitioning to a "new era" focused on technological advancements instead of simply cost reductions. The business is no longer just about borrowing money to build out capacity, but instead relies on heavy investments in new processes.
Shu said that TSMC has a "near-monopoly position" on advanced nodes of 65-nanometer and below, where it's harder for smaller rivals with smaller budgets to keep up. Those advanced nodes comprised 63% of total wafer revenues in the fourth quarter.
The analyst also estimates that Qualcomm comprised 15% of TSMC's volume last year, making it TSMC's largest customer. Qualcomm continues to comprise roughly half of both the smartphone applications processor and baseband modem markets. Eventually, Shu thinks that Apple will become a 10%-plus customer in 2014.
Party like its 2013
Chang noted that TSMC is planning on spending $9 billion in capital expenditures this year, less than the $13 billion that Intel forecast last night. For context, that's more than the entire $5 billion market cap of rival United Microelectronics, who is partnering with IBM via a licensing deal to try and beat TSMC to the 20-nanometer node.
Still, many of TSMC's processes are increasingly proprietary, making its customer base more reliant on its manufacturing capabilities. Shares gained 29% last year, and look set to also have a good 2013.

We have added x06 HQ photos by Guy Aroch for Marie Claire USA September 2014 …
Red lipstick can leave any woman even more powerful. And to prove this idea L’Oréal Paris met none other than Blake Lively, Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda, Julianne Moore, Freida Pinto, Laetitia Casta, Sonam Kapoor, Ines De La Fressange, Zoe Saldana and other prominent actresses in a amazing essay recorded by Julien Lutt.
The photos are part of the new line of lipsticks Pure Red, Color by Richie, the French brand campaign. With completely different beauties, all posed with rouge lips and made it clear that a remarkable mouth can indeed highlight the feminine force!
The collection, which will feature different shades of red, will be launched in September in the United States and major European countries.
We have updated the recent Vogue/Mario Testino shoot with HQ versions.. enjoy!
Blake Lively is launching her latest venture, a website called Preserve, with a Vogue cover and feature, as one does. We have added the Vogue cover and some absolutely stunning photos by Mario Testino to the gallery …
Blake Lively brings her unerring eye, Southern roots, and love of storytelling to her latest venture—a Web site called Preserve. Jonathan Van Meter heads West to meet up with the Gossip Girl turned Internet entrepreneur.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is one of those startling American places where “purple mountain majesties” becomes gloriously real, no longer a patriotic abstraction from a song learned in grade school. But it is also home to some of the most expensive real estate imaginable—great, logged-up monuments to show-business wealth and fame. Oh, give me a twelve-bedroom, fourteen-bath home, where the buffalo still sort of occasionally roam!
Blake Lively has never been here until today, but when I meet her in the soaring lobby of the Amangani resort one evening in late May she is dressed as if she has taken the landscape into consideration. Not many women can wear denim overalls, strappy Louboutin stilettos, and a Navajo-blanket poncho and get away with it, but Blake Lively can. When I compliment her, she describes the look as “if Sling Blade and Pocahontas had a baby.” Lively has a tendency toward deadpan humor, often delivered with a laconic stare that can make it difficult to figure out whether she is joking or not. “When I say something funny, I don’t laugh,” she says, “so my friends are always like, ‘Hahahahaaaa!’ so people know. When I’m not with them, I always think, This person doesn’t know I’m funny; they just think I’m a jerk.”
Lively, who is back from Cannes, where she was obliged to make appearances as a L’Oréal “ambassador,” as well as stroll the red carpet with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, for the premiere of his film The Captive, is both jet-lagged and feeling unwell. “I ate some mystery meat on the plane, and I feel poisoned,” she says. As we head out to the car that will take us to dinner in town, she says, “Do you mind if I sit in the front? I get motion sickness.” Pause. “God, I’m like a toddler. I hope you have Cheerios in your bag.” And then, once in the car: “Now, to be triply annoying, I have to make a work-related call. I’m so sorry.”
Blake Lively looks lovely in her new ad for Gucci Premiere perfume. Clad in a dazzling, one-shoulder gown with her hair curled into flawless retro waves, the actress oozes Old Hollywood glamour.
This is the second fragrance campaign the former Gossip Girl has fronted for the Italian brand. In 2012 she reportedly banked $4 million for her debut ads.
“She has done it smart by not over-endorsing too many brands,” an insider previously told E! News. “She’s gorgeous and her image is a valuable one.” Apparently so, since the star is also currently the face of L’Oreal Paris.
But don’t get it twisted, Blake isn’t just modeling these days. The star has been working hard on her secret and still untitled lifestyle project, which is set launch soon! Oh, and according to the 26-year-old there’s “nothing like it out there.” So get ready!
We also added x2 HQ photos by Anders Overgaard that were taken at Cannes this year.
Blake covers Lucky Magazines September 2013 Issue, if anyone is kind enough to scan it for us, please email in the pics to email@example.com ! We would really appreciate it.
Check out the adorable article by Heidi Mitchell and sophisticated Photoshoot by Partick Demarchelier ….
Blake Lively is having what she calls a princess day. It began with putting on fire engine red lipstick and a pretty Panama hat and crescendoed into a tour of the Prussian palaces of Potsdam and shopping for vintage dresses. She’s in Germany to visit her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, who’s wrapping a movie in nearby Berlin, and the past four days have been all ripped jeans and dad’s old baseball cap—tomboy days, she calls them—but this Thursday, with castles to explore and kitschy East German boutiques to plunder, Lively is feeling decidedly flirtier.“I never think about how other people will respond to the way I dress,” she says. “Dressing up is all about reflecting how I feel,” she adds—not to satisfy paparazzi. If she’s lazy, she’ll throw on a slouchy sweater and L.L. Bean moccasins. And on an aforementioned princess day? “That could call for wearing something totally inappropriate, like a beaded purse and a gorgeous pair of crystal heels just to go to the grocery store.”
With six seasons of Gossip Girl sealing her It Girl status and roles in The Town and Savages proving her acting chops, the Burbank, California, native is feeling more crystal heels than moccasins lately. She’s still riding the high of her secret wedding to Reynolds last September and her recent appointment as the face and muse for Gucci Première perfume. She is lucky enough to call her favorite musician, Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine, a close friend, and when she can’t decide which shoes to wear, she simply texts Christian Louboutin for advice. (“I’m still geeked out,” she says. “I’m like, ‘Christian, when you texted me, I took a screen grab!’ It’s crazy!”) And despite the fact that she famously has no stylist right now, she remains one of the most-hunted targets on the red carpet. Her life, in some ways, is like a Disney movie.
Blake Lively has been snapped tottering around New York in four staggering outfits for a fashion shoot with Lucky magazine. Along with the hardships of walking in various pairs of heels and different sorts of headwear, Blake had to pose AND look sultry at the same time.
Looking a bit like some kind of very stylish witch, Blake’s first outfit was a slinky black dress with lacing up the neckline, paired with some open-toed knee boots (not sure how we feel) and a big black sunhat. Oh, and a wistful gaze at the pavement, of course.
Next up was a twee looking pencil skirt and jumper combo, teamed with gold jewellery and silver shoes. Her handbag had a gold finish to up the bling-ante a bit, and her hair was left loose and blowing-about-a-bit, which we’re pretty sure is the correct fashion term for this kind of thing.
Our favourite outfit was probably the leggings and jumper look (you know we’re girls of comfort *reaches for another biscuit*). With flats or a pair of bright white Converse this could be an ace casual look, but fluffed up – literally with that handbag – with heels and a hat makes this oh soglam on Miss Lively. Love it.
The final outfit was ATTACK OF THE WHITE – but also a hint of black, which must mean the monochrome trend isn’t going anywhere in a hurry. Silver accessories and a slick of black eyeliner made this more polished than tacky, and they STILL left her princess-hair all long and flowy. Good choice.


This project aims at comparing pressurized pulverized coal combustion systems with atmospheric and catalytic pulverized coal combustion systems and with other more advanced combustion technologies.
The objective is to evaluate the technological and economical feasibility of pressurized pulverized coal combustion with a mixture of recycled flue gas and oxygen as comburant.
The project consists of a work programme which is based on experiments utilizing a 830kW pressurized coal combustion test rig, laboratory studies, mathematical/numerical modelling and a process-efficiency evaluation method.
The main questions addressed within this project are:
- How do conventional burner and flames perform under these conditions and which measures can be taken to adapt them?
- How large is the influence on fuel conversion and heat removal from the process?
- Which is the influence of CO2-recirculation and pressure on the formation and destruction of nitric oxides?
- How do the changed gas composition and the elevated pressure influence the dust removal?
- Which total efficiency - including O2 production and CO2 removal - can be achieved, and which plant configuration is most efficient?
The details tasks are:
- Experimental investigation of the overall characteristics of the combustion process, the flame shape and the dust removal.
- Mathematical modelling of the combustion and pollutant formation process to aid the understanding and interpretation of the measured data. - Theoretical and experimental investigation of the radiative properties of particle laden flows with high CO2 concentrations at elevated pressures. - Laboratory experiments which will indicate the effect of increasing CO2 concentrations and elevated pressure on the formation of nitric oxides. - Calculation and optimization of the overall efficiency of power plants with pressurized coal combustion and CO2 recirculation.

The Starbust collection was designed by David Yurman specifically for his wife and created in for his customers to honour the women in their lives. We love every bit and sparkle of it. And still want every piece, desperately.
“David Yurman is about craftsmanship, quality and, most importantly, design,” said Billy Paretti, chief marketing officer of David Yurman, New York. “We want both new and existing customers to understand the inspiration and the stories connected with our collections. And we love the story behind Starburst,” he added. “The DNA of the brand is born from David and Sybil’s shared background as artists – David as a sculptor and Sybil as an accomplished painter.Visually, the Starburst collection is truly illustrative of the collaboration between them.”
Mr. Yurman explains that Starburst was made to recreate the feeling of when you see fireworks or shooting stars.
It all began back in 1942. David Yurman was born in October in Manhattan. Sybil Yurman (née Kleinrock) was born in December in the Bronx. Only two months and a few miles apart, their lives would one day become intertwined through love, art, and design. Their lives collided in 1969. David met Sybil while working for sculptor Hans Van de Bovenkamp in New York City. She would become his co-creator, his partner in business and life.
But it was the year 1980 that changed their lives forever: David Yurman, the brand and company, was finally created, and later that same year received the Jury Award from the World Gold Council for the Starlight necklace, a precursor to the iconic Cable design.

Quick read: Lake restrictions causing confusion, drop in business
DAY COUNTY — Local business owners who rely on fishing have noticed a drop in business since the state has restricted access to some lakes, they told state lawmakers who toured the region this week.
Doug Johnson, owner of Sportsman's Cove in Webster, said Bitter Lake and Waubay Lake, both of which are open to fishing, are anchors for the Webster area. But there are also several non-meandered lakes that are popular with anglers. Too many people are unclear about where they can fish, he said.
"A lot of people who call have been here before and are asking about their favorite spots," Johnson said. "They're convinced they can't fish in Bitter and Waubay and they need to hear it from your mouth."
The absence of boats on Bitter Lake shows there's confusion about the Supreme Court ruling and where fishing is allowed., said Scott Lindgren, northeast regional supervisor for the state Department of Game, Fish and Parks.

I have closely followed the development of the Shakespeare in the North proposal to the point where construction is about to start on a site opposite to Prescot’s historic parish church (The photos show the proposed theatre and one of Prescot’s listed buildings. Link here to article in The Stage https://www.thestage.co.uk/features/2018/birth-of-merseysides-shakespeare-north-playhouse/).
Back in the 70s, I was a young graduate in one of my first jobs, charged with preparing a plan for Prescot town centre. This was shortly after local government reorganisation in 1974 when Prescot – hitherto under Lancashire County Council – was incorporated into the new Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council which only came into being, it was rumoured, because Harold Wilson, prime minister at the time wanted his Huyton constituency to be separate from Liverpool. In fact, the reorganisation saved Prescot; the County Council had been working its way through its historic town centres, demolishing historic buildings and constructing modern concrete shopping centres. Huyton was ‘improved’ in this way just before the deadline. Prescot was next on the list and then Ormskirk.
Prescot town centre was in the terminal stages of ‘planning blight’. If you put in a search for a property you were buying, up would come an ‘earmarked for development’ card and the property would be condemned to neglect and decay. It has to be said that there was considerable opposition at the time to any idea of saving Prescot’s heritage even though Prescot was at one time the most important town in south Lancashire: in the 18th century Liverpool’s postal address was ‘Liverpool near Prescot’. At this time Prescot was renowned as a centre for the watchmaking industry and became very prosperous – it was reported that the town’s vicar rode around on a horse shod with silver. By the 70s, although many listed buildings had survived, a lot were in a poor condition. I was assured by a veteran senior Council official, putting great emphasis into each word, that saving Prescot’s heritage would be ‘a waste of public money’. You have to say that in a woolly-back accent to get the full effect.
Nevertheless, being an awkward sod, my starting point for the plan was to designate the town centre as a conservation area thus removing the blight. A town scheme, funded by the Borough Council, Merseyside County Council and the government, was set up via which grants were given to owners to improve their properties. The main shopping street was pedestrianised and landscaped. A major store was constructed on a large derelict site, but with access from the main street (Not so sure about this now – big stores on the edge of town centres often kill off local shops, but hey-ho). Derelict historic buildings in Council ownership were refurbished by Community Industry who trained local unemployed young people in building skills. A museum of watchmaking in a prominent listed building was set up. An archaeological survey of the town was carried out by Peter Davey of the Merseyside Archaeological Society, which showed that Prescot’s medieval street pattern, centred on the circular churchyard on a hilltop site indicative of Celtic settlement – had survived intact. Interestingly the remains of medieval buildings survived inside property rebuilt in the 18th century boom period. And the site of the first Elizabethan theatre outside London was identified…
Looking back, I now realise that I was extremely lucky to have a job that I loved: a job where you face a problem, work out a solution and then make it happen. All these years later, it is heart-warming to see something like Shakespeare in the North about to reach fruition.
I have seen some curmudgeon-ish comments in the local media about the cost of the new theatre in the light of Knowsley’s deprivation and poverty. But in a later career in regeneration I grasped the truth that you’ve got to identify your assets and make the most of what you’ve got. The new theatre will create jobs for local people and bring in visitors who will spend cash in local pubs and restaurants. It will assist the regeneration of the town and the area generally. I might even go and watch some of the plays they put on. Being a miserable, as well as an awkward, sod, I like the tragedies.
