Chevron Advancing New Carbon Capture and Storage Opportunity at Pascagoula Refinery
SUMMARY: Chevron’s Pascagoula Refinery, operating since 1963, produces nearly 7 million gallons of gasoline daily and has focused on reducing its carbon intensity. In 2023, the refinery contributed over $800 million to Mississippi’s economy. Chevron is also advancing a Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) project to capture and store CO2 emissions underground, potentially expanding to local industries. As the largest U.S. refinery, Pascagoula supports local jobs and the energy needs of the region and world, with the CCS project playing a key role in Chevron’s efforts to meet growing energy demands while lowering environmental impact.

SUMMARY: The shoebox, a common item worldwide, holds a surprising history linking a Scottish inventor and a Mississippi entrepreneur. In the 1870s, Robert Gair, a Scottish-born printer, invented the mass-producible cardboard box. Later, in 1884 Vicksburg, Mississippi, Phil Gilbert revolutionized shoe retail by selling shoes in matching left-right pairs inside these boxes, improving customer convenience and retail presentation. This innovation quickly spread nationwide and became the standard. Beyond packaging, shoeboxes now store memories and crafts, symbolizing thoughtful retail design. What seems simple today began as a clever idea in a small Mississippi shoe parlor.

SUMMARY: Young fledgling birds, much like human teenagers, often whine and beg their parents for food after leaving the nest. This behavior is evident in backyard and park settings, where adults sometimes seem exasperated by persistent, high-pitched calls and wing-shaking from their offspring. Observations include a young Cooper’s Hawk calling from a tree limb and a Downy Woodpecker teaching its juvenile to peck for food, involving playful yet instructive interactions. Carolina Wrens demonstrate patient parenting by actively showing their young how to forage. These scenes highlight that the challenges of raising teenagers aren’t unique to humans, offering a charming glimpse into bird family life.
