And it would have addressed a lot of the concerns that Republicans have that we’re seeing — the challenges that we’re seeing at the border.

Election interference and witness credibility in focus during Trump opening statements

We now have a significant number of ATACMS coming off the production line and entering U.S. stocks. And as a result, we can move forward with providing ATACMS while also sustaining the readiness of the U.S. armed forces. First, the Ukrainian military remains a resilient, brave, and effective fighting force. And even as the Ukrainians waited for U.S. security assistance, they were able to impose significant costs on Russia.

Background Press Call by Senior Administration Officials on President Biden’s Historic Actions to Mark Earth Day

As people might recall, last week, we put out a request for information about expanding manufacturing capacity by another billion doses in the U.S., both to fight this pandemic and future pandemics. The message today, I think, is quite obvious, and that’s that vaccination requirements work. They’re implementable without disruptions. And they boost — they boost dramatically vaccination rates.

Universal Studios tram accident leaves at least 15 injured

We have plenty of supply, and more and more kids are getting vaccinated in that age group — 5 to 11 — each and every day. Obviously, the decisions how to manage the virus are done at the local level, informed by community transmission, vaccination rate, and local capacity. So, we need to use the tools we have and get more people vaccinated to keep people safe without going backwards in any way, shape, or form. We can curb the spread of the virus without having to in any way shut down our economy. So that — you know, we have 82 percent of people now with one shot, and more and more people getting vaccinated each week.

But this really is something that we take care to separate from politics, to separate from, you know, decisions taken at the White House. It is a State Department analysis with a State Department outcome. And they can speak to what is going to happen at the time that they’re ready to speak to it. And we will start to see the impact of that month by month as they implement the new mobilization law and as they implement the new directives from the Minister of Defense and the — the new commander of the — of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And the President referred in his remarks earlier today to the reports of Ukrainian troops literally cheering in the trenches, watching on their phones, as the House passed the bill over the weekend.

You all — you all listened to the President, right? So, he had an opportunity this morning, so he was going to take that opportunity to say how we need to continue to move forward with the border — border — border security negotiation — or the plan that came out of the negotiation. We heard from the former President, who said, “Don’t move forward.”  He told Republicans to reject it.

And as we have done throughout our vaccination program, we have equity at the center of our work, ensuring boosters are available in the hardest-hit communities and by deploying mobile clinics to bring boosters to meet people where they are. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to reflect on where we were a year ago. I can remember waiting in great anticipation for the lifesaving vaccines we currently have at our fingertips. Last year, many families did not gather and celebrations went without parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders says she "can't predict the future" when it comes to the fate of Trump's national security adviser H.R. McMaster — but said she's "not aware" that he'll leave the administration any time soon. As I said, 95 percent of federal workers are in compliance and 90 percent are already vaccinated. And even once the deadline passes, as we’ve talked about, it’s not a cliff. We’ll continue to work with people, answer their questions, provide counseling and education, and get more and more people vaccinated. In making these recommendations, we took into consideration the current state of the pandemic, the data on vaccine effectiveness over time, and importantly the safety profile of booster shots of over 30 million Americans who have already received an additional vaccine dose.

Since the start of 2024, we estimate that Ukraine has destroyed more than 700 Russian armored vehicles and roughly 250 Russian tanks. The early in vitro and clinical studies that I mentioned indicate that boosters reconstitute the antibody titers and enhance the vaccine protection against Omicron. However, when you get the booster, which is in the red circles, for Omicron, it increases to 75 percent effectiveness against symptomatic disease with a booster dose. WASHINGTON — White House national security spokesman John Kirby insisted the the U.S. abstaining from a U.N. Resolution on Gaza cease-fire, allowing the resolution to pass, was not a change in American policy. Biden approved immediately sending Ukraine $1 billion in military assistance and said the shipment would begin arriving in the “next few hours” — the first tranche from about $61 billion allocated for Ukraine.

The package includes air defense capabilities, artillery rounds, armored vehicles and other weapons to shore up Ukrainian forces who have seen morale sink as Russian President Vladimir Putin has racked up win after win. White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said President Trump "is in a great mood," noting they've had "not just a successful couple of days" but "a successful year." "These dangerous, appalling statements turn the stomach and should serve as a wakeup call," Andrew Bates, deputy White House press secretary, said in a statement. "It is hideous to advocate for the murder of Jews." What we are hoping for — and as an immunologist and infectious disease person — that the interval between the dose of the second dose of an mRNA and the booster, six months or longer, will give the immune response to COVID-19 the chance to mature and to strengthen. Some experts have been calling on the administration to use the Defense Production Act or a similar authority to force Moderna, in particular, to share its technology abroad to help boost global vaccine supply.

But you can also measure it just in terms of the — the wear and tear in places on a frontline unit who has to ration ammunition because they’re not getting the steady flows. And with that, I’d be happy to take your questions. The bill will also help replenish Israel’s air defenses, which is even more important following Iran’s brazen and unprecedented attack 10 days ago. And it will help ensure that Israel has what it needs to defend itself against the very real threats it faces from Iran as well as Iran’s proxy groups.

So, from our perspective, now that we’ve resolved our readiness concerns, being able to step up and provide our own capabilities to Ukraine, as partners of ours have — the UK, the French, others — we think it’s appropriate to do at this moment. We think it is a good capability in this phase of the conflict for Ukraine, and we will stand behind that four-square. So, we think it’s good that we’re able to provide them, but I don’t expect to stand before you and say one capability has — has been the silver bullet in this conflict.

And the quantities and the type of humanitarian assistance that we have seen increase over the last two weeks, we need to see continued increases and sustained increases as we go forward. The administration and a bipartisan group of lawmakers have called the social media site a growing national security concern. Tucked into the measure is a provision that gives TikTok’s Beijing-based parent company, ByteDance, nine months to sell it or face a nationwide prohibition in the United States. The president can grant a one-time extension of 90 days, bringing the timeline to sell to one year, if he certifies that there’s a path to divestiture and “significant progress” toward executing it. But significant damage has been done to the Biden administration’s effort to help Ukraine repel Russia’s invasion during the funding impasse that dates back to August, when the Democratic president made his first emergency spending request for Ukraine aid.

And, of course, it provides timely support to our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific as well. However, the two-dose mRNA vaccinated people who received a booster dose — look — had a substantial increase in neutralizing activity to the tune of a 38-fold increase. James was absent from a press briefing Friday given by student protest organizers at Columbia. Other organizers declined to provide specifics and pointed to a statement James put out Friday on X, formerly Twitter.

Let me close by underscoring that continued progress requires everyone doing their part. So if you’re unvaccinated or eligible for a booster, please go get your shot. And it will help all of us stay safe this winter.

The Omicron variant undoubtedly compromises the effects of a two-dose mRNA vaccine-induced antibodies and reduces the overall protection. However, as I showed on a prior slide, considerable protection still maintains against severe disease. Now, if you look at the UK Data, if you look at the Delta in the blue boxes, you see that effectiveness is significantly lower when you look at the time since the vaccine was given, measured in weeks.

A Proclamation on National Small Business Week, 2024

The FTC banned non-compete agreements, which currently keep 30 million workers, nearly one in five, from changing jobs. This rule will increase wages by at least $400 billion over the next 10 years. Now, as we were working day in, day out to get this bill passed, President Biden was also working with President Zelenskyy to talk through how President Zelenskyy was thinking about the issue of mobilization and getting enough forces forward to the fight. So, you put all that together and I think the calculus of the Russians or the critics of Ukraine who say, “Time is on Russia’s side” — they’ve got it wrong. We believe that the structural dynamics of this conflict favor the country defending its own territory. We believe that occupation and invasion saps the will and vitality of a nation over time.

And part of that is about what the U.S. industrial base can produce. Part of it is about what the Europeans have stepped up to do in really significant ways over the course of the — the last six months. And we are urging them to keep that going, even as the U.S. has delivered $60 billion. Part of that is about the Ukrainian capacity itself. And then, of course, we are adding new capabilities like the ATACMS. I can’t speak beyond that because, of course, we’re in the early days of fully understanding what happened.

Remarks by Vice President Harris at the White House Take Your Child to Work Day Event

But before I start talking about boosters, let me reiterate something that Dr. Walensky just said. First, let’s talk about why this recommendation was made now. CDC is continuously monitoring the state of the pandemic, and our current surveillance shows a rise in cases over the past few weeks. Heading into the winter months when respiratory viruses are more likely to spread and with plans for increased holiday season travel and gathering, boosting people’s overall protection against COVID-19 disease and death was important to do now.

Upon his departure from Key West, the captain presented the cat to Hemingway. Today many of the numerous cats that inhabit the grounds still possess the unusual six toes. Several years earlier, he’d met journalist Martha Gellhorn while she was vacationing in Key West. Pfeiffer would remain in the Key West home until her death in 1951, and the house would later be sold by the Hemingway sons after their father’s death. As he had been in Key West, Hemingway seemed inspired by his new surroundings, writing works such as For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea, and receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

The Hemingway house was bought at a silent auction for $80,000 by Bernice Dixon, a local business owner. She lived in the main home until 1964, when she moved into the guest house and turned Hemingway’s home into a museum. Visitors to Key West are keen on seeing the house where Ernest Hemingway, one of America’s most respected novelists, lived and wrote for nine years.

He quickly became obsessed with deep-water fishing, and soon bought his own boat, the Pilar. "Papa" Hemingway, as he’d dubbed himself, took to sailing the nearby waters with friends in tow, who were soon nicknamed the Key West Mob. A few weeks ago, she returned once again to L.A., the city that had spurned her so many times. She took the studio apartment in Santa Monica and began working to reclaim the old magic. Infamously, nobody on a low-salt diet is in a position to take Hellman’s word for anything.

A large portion of “A Farewell to Arms” was written at the house and the premiere of the movie version was held in Piggott in 1932. Ernest and Pauline divorced in 1940, Hemingway took up residence in Cuba with his third wife, Martha Gellhorn. He continued to visit Key West during the 40’s and 50’s until death in 1961. Throughout the years, Key West has been home to many writers and artists, but none whose presence and influence is as profound as Ernest Hemingway’s. Because the car had been delayed in transit, the Ford dealership insisted that they take up residence in an apartment located above the showroom on Simonton Street.

Currently, about 60 cats live on the property, and many are polydactyl, meaning they have six toes on their paws instead of five. The site where the pool is located was formerly the setting of Hemingway’s famous boxing ring, where he would spar with local amateur boxers such as Shine Forbes. Construction of the pool necessitated relocation of the boxing ring to the site now occupied by the Blue Heaven Restaurant on Petronia Street, a few blocks away. The warm waters surrounding Key West seemed to beckon Hemingway.

Soon after arrival, Hemingway made the acquaintance of Charles Thompson, who ran the local hardware store. Charles Thompson introduced Hemingway to the exciting world of big game sport fishing, and a long friendship was born. Charles and his wife Lorine entertained the Hemingways at their home on Fleming Street. Lorine Thompson proved to be as friendly and gracious as her husband Charles, and it was during those early days in Key West she and Pauline forged a friendship that would endure for the rest of their lives. Both Ernest and Pauline grew to love Key West and its inhabitants, and soon decided to look for a permanent residence. After two seasons in Key West, Pauline’s Uncle Gus purchased the house on Whitehead Street for them in 1931.

Museum is open everyday.

There are so many cats at Hemingway Home that the museum has its own veterinarian to care for them. Unfortunately, cats do not live forever, but you can pay your respects at the Cat Cemetery behind the house. As I was reading the plaque in the cemetery, I noticed that many of the cats were named after famous people. Charlie Chaplin, Emily Dickenson, Mark Twain and Marilyn Monroe were all cats that lived at the Hemingway house. The pool has a mammoth 80,784 gallon capacity, and at the time of installation there was no fresh running water in Key West. Accordingly, in 1938, pool construction involved drilling down to the salt-water table and installing a water pump to retrieve salt water to fill the pool.

A Brief History of Scent With Saskia Wilson-Brown

After Hemingway’s death in July of that year, his widow gave the ship to Gregorio Fuentes who had served as her captain. Fuentes also served as the basis for the character Santiago, in The Old Man and The Sea and passed away in 2002 at the age of 104. Hemingway’s boys named their new kitten Snow White and as Hemingway once wrote, “one cat just leads to another”. To this day, many of the cats that live at Hemingway Home are descendants of the original Snow White.

Visitors often revel in the small details of the old house, whose best features are often not obvious and require some close attention in order to enjoy their true antiquated beauty. Hemingway was in fact an avid collector of furniture from Spain from the 17th and 18th centuries, and his 18th-century Walnut Secretary, complete with hidden compartments, remains one of the home’s most popular displays. There is certainly an element of vintage appeal throughout the house. The paintings, chandeliers, and other architectural details, which have been immaculately preserved over the years, foster a sense that time has magically stood still at the Hemingway house. Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

I describe my travel style as "laid back luxe" and enjoy a mix of outdoor adventures and historic sites. He purchased the property, which by then had been boarded up and abandoned, for $8,000 in back taxes owed to the city. The Hemingway house was originally owned by Asa Tift, a marine architect and captain, who built the house in 1851. As of 2024, visiting the hallowed ground that belonged to this celebrated author will cost $18 for adults and $7 for kids.

I think that had a lot to do with the amount of people that were there. A cruise ship was in town that day, so there was a constant flow of visitors through the house. This lovely Key West home is where legendary author Ernest Hemingway lived and worked for more than ten years.

On the wall of his home, a neat though cluttered house close to a cluster of small churches, the photo is displayed prominently. It shows a young Ellis with broad shoulders, huge arms and a massive chest, who looks like he might have given Mike Tyson a good fight. In 1940, when Ernest and Pauline divorced and he subsequently married Martha Gelhorn (whom he’d met at Sloppy Joe’s,) they relocated to Cuba and bought Finca Vigia (Lookout Farm) the home on a hilltop overlooking Havana. Pilar was docked at Cojimar, a small fishing village east of Havana, which was the inspiration for Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea. Returning to Key West from an African safari in 1934, Ernest Hemingway stopped off in New York to take a few meetings.

It was on the advice of John Dos Passos, a fellow member of the “Lost Generation” of ex-patriate artists and writers populating Paris during the 1920s, that Hemingway was first prompted to visit Key West. Hemingway did not go directly to South Florida from Paris, but rather arrived through Havana, Cuba—a city and country that would prove to be critically important in Hemingway’s later personal and professional life. Upon his arrival in Key West in April 1928, the first order of business was to locate the new Ford Roadster that Pauline Hemingway’s wealthy Uncle Gus had so generously purchased for the newlywed couple. Hemingway and his wife left Cuba in 1960, following Fidel Castro’s overthrow of the Batista government (although the left-leaning Hemingway’s sympathies were with the revolutionaries). In ill health and increasingly suffering from the depression that ran through his family, and which he had struggled against all his life, Hemingway settled in Idaho. On July 2, 1961, he shot himself in his Ketchum home and died, aged 61.

During his years in Key West, Hemingway completed about 70% of his works including A Farewell to Arms, Death in the Afternoon and For Whom the Bell Tolls. On a slightly odder level, the estate is also home to over 50 cats, with names like Pablo Picasso, Hairy Truman, and Audrey Hepburn. About half of these cats are polydactyls—animals with extra toes. A ship captain once gave Hemingway a six-toed cat, of whom the writer was extremely fond, and from whom these cats are supposedly descended.

The two-story house was built in 1851 of native limestone in a Spanish colonial style by noted marine salvager Asa Tift. Pfeiffer’s wealthy uncle bought the then-derelict house as a wedding present for her and Hemingway in 1931, and the couple had the entire interior restored. The second story of the coach house in the back was made into a writing studio for Hemingway. The swimming pool, built in 1938 as a present from Pfeiffer to her husband, was the first residential swimming pool built in Key West.

Toptal's screening and matching process ensures exceptional talent are matched to your precise needs. Every day, there are more than 1,500 open Contests in a variety of categories.

Target your design portfolio

Additionally, the best candidates have portfolios that tell a cohesive story and demonstrate how design problems were addressed throughout the project. The right candidate will also be able to transition seamlessly from one platform to another for workflow efficiency, as different platforms are specialized for specific tasks and design purposes. For instance, a graphic designer might use an application such as InDesign on a campaign with print assets, Photoshop for photos and graphic assets, and Illustrator or Figma for web graphics, such as UI icons.

As mentioned above, your freelance design contract should specify how and when you will get paid. But in order to collect these payments and actually get paid as a freelancer, you need to know how to make an invoice. Before you start taking on any clients, you need to know how to create a design proposal that helps you win the job. It's free to sign up and start submitting designs on DesignCrowd. Project budgets will vary depending on the type of design work.

Visual Design

Graphic designers rely on problem-solving skills to navigate challenges in the creative process and create meaningful visuals that address client needs. These skills help designers tackle complex briefs, reconcile client preferences, and find innovative design solutions. Landing a single client isn’t enough to build a sustainable freelance business.

The Right Fit, Guaranteed

Additionally, they may be open to extensive feedback and iterations or feel like exploring too many design options is more likely to derail a project. Look for a graphic designer who can articulate the rationale for each step in their process. Expertly vetted graphic designers will be able to manage workflows, collaborate and share drafts, and seek and respond to feedback throughout the project to ensure client satisfaction. For example, experienced designers will have a more highly developed design style and consistent work ethic. However, you’ll pay more for their graphic design experience, knowledge, and expertise, and they may be stuck in a particular design trend. On the other hand, a junior graphic designer will be less experienced but will also be less expensive and may bring a fresh perspective reflecting emerging design trends.

After high school, he reported for a few months for The Kansas CityStar, before leaving for the Italian Front to enlist as an ambulance driver inWorld War I. In 1918, he was seriously wounded and returned home. His wartimeexperiences formed the basis for his novel A Farewell to Arms (1929). Admission includes a guided tour with one of the knowledgeable guides, who share intriguing and amusing anecdotes about the Hemingways.

The Hemingway House Cats with Six Toes

The Hemingways’ personal touches still abound throughout the house. Many of the unique furnishings are European antiques collected during their stay on the continent. The trophy mounts and skins were souvenirs of the Hemingways’ African safaris and numerous hunting expeditions in the American west. Ernest’s presence can still be felt in his studio where he produced some of his most well-known works. In addition, a very visible and living link to the past are the descendants of Hemingway’s cats. The story goes that Hemingway made the acquaintance of a sea captain who owned an unusual six-toed tomcat, which captured Ernest’s fancy.

Though there are pictures of Hemingway on the dock with marlin, Ellis, who considers himself a friend of the writer, claims he never caught one. Ellis’ claim, and some dubious boasts by others, are difficult to confirm because so few islanders remain who were alive or on the island at the time. On this Sunday, Ellis, now a Baptist preacher, is fresh from church and wearing a flowing white clergyman’s robe edged in maroon.

The kitten was from a litter of the captain’s cat Snowball, who also had six toes. I thought the house was very pretty on the outside and had a nice lived-in feeling on the inside. There were little imperfections throughout the house like cracks in the ceiling and chips in the walls. Had they been gone, the house would have lost its historic ambiance. For the next ten years, Hemingway used the house as a place to stay during his trips between Cuba and his home in Ketchum, Idaho. When Hemingway died in 1961, his sons agreed to sell the estate.

” Whether the story is apocryphal or not, there is a penny embedded in cement at the north end of the pool to memorialize Ernest’s purported outburst. Everyone in The Mob had a nickname, and Hemingway was often referred to by his friends and family during this time was “Papa”—it was a moniker that eventually stuck with him throughout his life. Hemingway’s Key West was a town unlike any place he ever experienced. It was filled with interesting people, ranging from well-to-do businessmen and lawyers, to down-on-their-luck fishermen, to shipwreck salvagers.

The coach house became a pool house, and Hemingway had walls built around the grounds. He also installed a catwalk that allowed him to walk from the bedroom to his studio in the pool house. There he wrote the nonfiction Green Hills of Africa (1935), the novel To Have and Have Not (1937), and the short stories “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” and “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” (both 1936). It was built in 1851 in the French Colonial style and is now on the National Register of Historic Places and a U.S. Visitors to the Hemingway Home Museum are given a tour of the residence and gardens, where they can see many of Hemingway's belongings as well as the many cats that live on the property, which you may spot in this live view.

Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum

Childhood trips to the remote woods of Michigan inspired his fascination with nature and a lifelong quest for adventure, including his passion for hunting and fishing. Interested in writing from an early age, he began his career as a journalist, working as a reporter in the Midwest. When poor eyesight kept him from enlisting during World War I, Hemingway volunteered as a Red Cross ambulance driver and was severely wounded in Italy at age 18, leading to a long convalescence. The idea was to make a movie to raise money for the Loyalist cause. When he left Cuba in 1960 with his fourth wife, Mary, he knew he’d be back. But the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 cut off his return and separated him from his beloved Pilar.

And sometime last Saturday, or maybe Friday, she entered her apartment and died. We don’t know what the coroner will list as the official cause of death. There are tours of the home, which include a botanical garden and a mineral collection. Some scenes from the movie "A Face in the Crowd," starring Andy Griffith (1956) were filmed here.

Guests who visit the house are taken on minute guided tour of the entire grounds. Famed American author Ernest Hemingway (he’s the dude responsible for For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea) spent a good part of his life living in Key West in this house. Mary was able to return to Finca Vigia to retrieve some of Hemingway’s belongings, but the house itself soon fell into disrepair. It was partially restored and reopened to the public in 2007, and it, along with his Key West home, stand almost frozen in time, testaments to Hemingway’s dramatic and eventful life. Send us an email and one of our staff will receive it in no time. Having flopped with an A-list movie, she tried B-list parts and then the C-list.

For more than a decade, Ernest Hemingway called Key West home, producing some of his most famous works and immortalizing what had been a somewhat remote stretch of land in southern Florida. Today, his estate is a tourist hotspot, providing visitors with a unique look into the legendary writer’s life. Ernest Hemingway was given a white six-toed cat by a ship’s captain and some of the cats who live on the museum grounds are descendants of that original cat, named Snow White. Key West is a small island and it is possible that many of the cats on the island are related. Wheeler was known and rewarded for producing exceptional hand-crafted wooden boats. He also requested extra-large fuel tanks so he could stay at sea for longer periods of time.

“Lipstick” would fail, spectacularly so, and with it her film career. The hamburger king would spend her money and later be described by her as a “jerk.” Another marriage would come and go. Within a short time, Hemingway no longer had to worry about 200 reporters showing up at her life events. The house was eventually acquired by Arkansas State University in 1997, which transformed it into a museum. Today, the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum is open for tours of the home and the carriage house studio.

Martha Gellhorn became his third wife in 1940; they separatedafter he met Mary Welsh in London during World War II. He was present at theNormandy landings and the liberation of Paris. The Hemingway home was built in 1851 in the Spanish Colonial style and was constructed of native rock hewn from the grounds. The home was in great disrepair when the Hemingways took ownership, but both Ernest and Pauline could see beyond the rubble and ruin and appreciated the grand architecture and stateliness of the home.

Constructed from native rock, the house was built in the Spanish Colonial style in 1851. The massive restoration and remodeling they undertook in the early 1930s turned the home into the National Historical Landmark that thousands of tourists visit and enjoy today. Until the 1940s when Key West first had fresh water piped in and the pool was converted to a fresh water system, the pool was very high maintenance.

At one with the editor of Esquire, Arnold Gingrich, Hemingway was given a $3300 advance for some short stories. He promptly took himself out to Coney Island to the Wheeler Shipyard and used the cash as a down payment on a customized yacht. My initial interest in visiting the Hemingway Home was not because I’m a Hemingway fan (I’ve never read anything written by him), but because I love old architecture. I especially have a thing for buildings with wrap around porches and wooden shutters. As you walk around the property, you’ll encounter at least a couple dozen of these kitties.
