WRJ Design Wins National Attention for Jackson Hole Home as "Ode to Art and Beauty"
LUXE honors design team with cover story featuring project inspired by the majestic Teton landscape, iconic modern architecture and a stunning blue-chip art collection JACKSON HOLE, Wyo., June 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — For WRJ Design, the project paired dream clients – worldly, visionary and invested in their home's creation story – with an incredible blue-chip art collection and the opportunity to collaborate at the highest level with Jackson, Wyoming-based CLB Architects, OSM Construction of Bozeman, Montana, and Jackson landscape architect Bonny Hershberger of HDLA. The resulting home has earned the honor of two separate May/June 2025 LUXE Interiors + Design covers – one on the magazine's national issue and one on its new Colorado + the Rockies regional edition – with a feature story on the project in both that dubs the project 'Poetic Nature,' a 'family legacy home [that] stands as an ode to art and beauty.' Situated on 35 acres of iconic Jackson Hole ranchland with Teton, Gros Ventre and Snake River range views, the architecture rests lightly on the land, meeting the homeowners' desire for a 'Frank Lloyd Wright meets the West' style suitable as both a permanent current residence for the couple and their four children and a timeless heritage estate for generations to come. A deeply personal art collection spanning more than 300 pieces informed both architecture and interiors. 'Every decision we made complements it,' says WRJ Design co-owner and design director Rush Jenkins, whose team on the project included design lead Sabrina Schreibeis and designer Ashton Horner. Jenkins drew on his early pre-WRJ career as director of design at Sotheby's New York to 'create interiors where furnishings and décor are in clear dialogue with the artworks, which draw you forward, with a surprise around every corner.' 'The home's palette is largely a master class of soothing neutrals, with select zings of color,' writes LUXE. 'This helps to accentuate that every object within is a study in craftsmanship selected as a worthy companion to the artwork.' At the same time, the home exemplifies WRJ Design's trademark ability to create luxurious bespoke interiors in a comfortable, unfussy way that lives up to the everyday demands of a busy and active family. 'These homeowners live with incredible examples of artisan craftsmanship and art,' says Jenkins, 'but they are presented in a non-precious way that invites lounging on the sofa, sharing cocktail hour with friends and traipsing in and out enjoying the incredible range of outdoor activities that Jackson Hole is famous for.' 'Maintaining a sense of harmony with an underlying focus on serenity is the very essence of this sophisticated home,' Jenkins tells LUXE. The sensibility is apparent in the primary bedroom, where two Bright Chair swivel loungers take in the unfolding meadow and mountain views, and layers of refined textures from the bed's velvet upholstery to linen Loro Piana drapes and the sheepskin atop the leather footboard bench engage the senses beneath another lighting-as-sculpture chandelier, this one by John Pomp Studios. Downstairs, Jenkins' 'surprise around every corner' approach to the art's presentation includes 'managing to seamlessly fold in standouts like a motorcycle-turned-sculpture,' writes LUXE of the vibrant teal antique Indian bike raised on a pedestal. In the end, 'Beautiful interiors are like an orchestra where each musician is singularly magnificent,' Jenkins tells the magazine. ''Come closer,' is what this house commands in a very quiet way.' About WRJ Design:Headquartered in Jackson, Wyoming, award-winning WRJ Design is known for a special brand of refined luxury that effortlessly marries the most sophisticated modern furnishings with historically rich, rustic and one-of-a-kind elements. With an ethos rooted in the extraordinary art and beauty discovered around the world and taking inspiration from the splendor of majestic natural landscapes, WRJ co-owners Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer bring a spirit of collaboration – with homeowners as well as architects, contractors, landscape architects and remarkable artisans – to designing homes that honor and celebrate clients' life stories.

GasTechno Corp Unveils Breakthrough CO₂ Conversion Technologies to Fuel a Carbon-Neutral Future
GasTechno Energy Centers reveal a basket of technologies after 20 years in the Northern Michigan garage! Look forward to clean fuels someday. BOYNE FALLS, MI, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2025 / / -- GasTechno Corp, a Wyoming-based clean energy company, today announced its latest suite of patented technologies designed to transform carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high-value fuels and chemicals. With multiple U.S. patents issued under the leadership of founder and CEO Walter Breidenstein, the company is setting a new benchmark in CO₂ utilization, offering scalable solutions that redefine the economics of climate innovation. Among the company's flagship innovations is a radio frequency (RF)-enhanced catalytic process for CO₂ hydrogenation, enabling direct conversion of CO₂ into ethanol with high selectivity and energy efficiency. Using a dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor filled with a Cu/Zn/Al₂O₃ catalyst, the technology operates under moderate conditions and achieves superior yield outcomes compared to traditional thermocatalytic routes. 'We believe CO₂ is not a waste product—it's only one of many alternative feedstocks of the future,' said Breidenstein. 'Our patented technologies prove that low-cost, carbon-negative fuel production is not just possible—it's commercially viable and just more healthy all around personally.' Patents Supporting a Cleaner Energy Ecosystem GasTechno's technology platform is protected by a robust intellectual property portfolio, including: - US Patent 10,590,357 – System and method for partial oxidation of hydrocarbons to methanol and conversion to oxygenated fuels - US Patent 11,103,849 – CO₂ hydrogenation process using RF-enhanced plasma with copper-zinc-alumina catalysts - US Patent 11,859,137 – Integrated gas-to-liquids systems including syngas production and CO₂ conversion - US Patent 11,986,793 – Biomass-to-methanol systems incorporating CO₂ capture and fuel synthesis Collectively, these technologies support the production of methanol, ethanol, dimethyl ether (DME), and dimethoxymethane (DMM) that are integrated with a renewable natural gas (RNG) production system with minimal emissions and maximum energy efficiency. Powering the Fuel of the Future GasTechno's inventions serve as the cornerstone of its GasTechno Energy Centers, modular clean fuel production hubs that process stranded natural gas, biogas, or CO₂ from industrial emitters at offsite strategic locations across the United States. These centers aim to produce low-carbon, scalable fuels that can be used in long-haul Class 8 trucking fleets, power generation, or chemical manufacturing. As governments and corporations look to decarbonize industrial supply chains, GasTechno's technologies offer a turnkey pathway to carbon circularity—converting climate liabilities into economic opportunities. About GasTechno Corp GasTechno Corp is an advanced energy solutions company focused on methane and carbon dioxide conversion. With over 40 patents issued and pending globally, the company is a recognized leader in modular gas-to-liquids (GTL) technologies and low-carbon fuel innovations. GasTechno's mission is to commercialize clean energy systems that address climate change while generating sustainable returns for shareholders.

Ex-CIA officer running Gaza aid security advised Boston Consulting Group
Former CIA paramilitary officer Phil Reilly, who heads a private military company that is guarding Israel's newly set up food distribution sites in Gaza, was a senior advisor at the US consultancy that is the latest partner to withdraw from the controversial aid project. The Boston Consulting Group admitted last week that it was involved in developing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), but has since halted its involvement and distanced itself as 110 Palestinians have been killed and 583 wounded trying to access aid during GHF's 10 days of operations, according to government sources. But Reilly's role with BCG, which ended only six months ago, raises questions about whether the consultancy was also involved in developing the security side of the aid operation. Questions about the firm's role come as BCG announced on Thursday that it had fired two partners for 'unauthorised work' in relation to GHF. BCG said the partners 'failed to disclose the full nature of the work during the client acceptance process' and carried out subsequent unauthorised work in violation of company policies and protocols. New MEE newsletter: Jerusalem Dispatch Sign up to get the latest insights and analysis on Israel-Palestine, alongside Turkey Unpacked and other MEE newsletters The firm said the subsequent work had "lacked visible multi-lateral support" and that it has engaged outside counsel to investigate its involvement in the project. 'We deeply regret that in this situation we did not live up to our standards. We are committed to taking all necessary steps to address the issues identified in the ongoing investigation,' the company said. MEE asked BCG on Friday whether the firm was involved in the security operations to support GHF, what role it had played with the foundation and who had asked the firm to get involved initially. BCG directed MEE to its statement from Thursday which did not answer the questions. Consulting on Gaza A 29-year veteran of the CIA, Reilly served as a senior advisor at BCG for eight years starting in January 2017, just as US President Donald Trump's first term started, according to his LinkedIn account. It was early last year, while still holding his advisory role, that Reilly reportedly first began discussing Gaza aid with Israeli civilians in early 2024. Later in 2024, he worked on a study for Orbis, another US consultancy, which reportedly outlined a plan to outsource food aid delivery to private companies and foundations, the NYT reported. Reilly's advisory role with BCG ended in December, a month after Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), the private military company now operating in Gaza, was registered in Wyoming, a known US tax haven. Mercenary firm set to oversee Gaza aid for Israel goes on LinkedIn hiring spree Read More » Public records show that SRS's registered agent, as first reported by All-Source Intelligence, is the Wyoming-based wealth management fund, Two Oceans Trust LLC. But the public records fail to reveal many more details about SRS, including its funders. It was reported this week that McNally Capital, a Chicago-based private equity firm, has an "economic interest" in SRS, although the scale of the interest remains unclear. The lack of clarity about funding is also true of GHF which is registered with scant few other details in Delaware, another notorious US tax haven. SRS is understood to be the main company currently securing the food distribution sites that are part of Israeli and American moves to take control of aid distribution in the enclave, which have been beset by controversy. The UN and international aid agencies have sounded the alarm for weeks over concerns that the plans which have unfolded at pace failed to meet humanitarian principles and would encourage forced displacement of Palestinians. Hours before GHF was to start distributing aid in Gaza late last month, executive director Jake Wood resigned over concerns that it was impossible for the organisation to operate independently or adhere to strict humanitarian principles. Wood was replaced this week by Johnnie Moore, an evangelical leader who has advised Trump on interfaith issues. Moore has denied reports that Palestinians were killed and injured while seeking aid at GHF's sites in Gaza and said he was demanding results "with Silicon Valley precision".
