Needing plenty of help to replace Aaron Donald, Rams draft four defensive linemen

South Australian Anthony Frith’s close encounter with “Sharknado” production company The Asylum in “Mockbuster” is among five titles to be showcased at the Adelaide Film Festival Goes to Cannes showcase, held at Cannes Marché du Film on May 17. The Los Angeles Rams have selected Michigan running back Blake Corum with the 83rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Los Angeles Rams have selected Washington State linebacker Brennen Jackson with the 154th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

The heavy emphasis on offensive players, “and probably the six QBs going helped Jared get to us,” Snead said. Verse played two seasons at Albany and two at Florida State, amassing 31½ sacks. He had nine sacks in each of his two seasons at Florida State, and last season had 12½ tackles for lost yardage.

Corum is looking forward to complementing Williams. “We talked about, imagine if we went to the same team, that would be so cool if that would happen,” Verse said. We just have that connection and now we’re bringing it to the NFL together. As with Verse, who transferred to Florida State after playing two seasons at Albany, the 6-4, 292-pound Fiske also began his career at a smaller school.

Their siblings work in the family business as managers, lighting directors and documentarians (they all make cameos in the film), and there’s a sense of can-do collaboration among the tight-knit Smallbone family. This theme runs throughout the film and it makes sense that Joel would undertake the telling of his family’s own story in such an intimate way. I honestly think I've found my new neighborhood "Cheers!" Have been here a couple times. And it's locally owned, so not a corporate establishment.

Snead, McVay, assistant coaches and scouts gathered at the Rams draft house in Hermosa Beach, and watched 14 offensive players come off the board — including six quarterbacks — before the Indianapolis Colts took UCLA edge rusher Laiatu Latu. Verse, who had nine sacks in each of his last two college seasons, said he admired accomplished NFL pass rushers such as Jadeveon Clowney, Myles Garrett and Maxx Crosby. The Rams drafted Verse and Fiske to help fill the void left by another star, recently retired Aaron Donald, a three-time defensive player of the year. The Big Dog’s Tap Room offers a more traditional, elevated, family- friendly craft beer experience. The Rams and Zillow have converted a 9,150 square foot contemporary estate into a unique location to serve as General Manager Les Snead and Head Coach Sean McVay's Draft headquarters April 25–27, as well as host other team business throughout May. Rams players gave fans a special tour of the Zillow Draft House in a short video released today on Rams' channels including therams.com, YouTube, Instagram, and X.

Surprising little diner with really good food at a small price. A documentary by the award-winning Burgess (“Fell”, “Franklin”), produced by Repeater Productions’ Ben Golotta and Morgan Wright, with Chris Kamen. We follow two young Mongolian horse herders who battle extreme winter cold to protect an ancient tradition that risks being lost forever.

All three days of the 2024 NFL Draft will be broadcast on NFL Network, ABC, ESPN and ESPN Deportes, including two nights of primetime coverage on Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26. Los Angeles, CA, — The Rams are celebrating LA's beach culture by bringing their Draft operations to the coast with the Zillow Draft House in Hermosa Beach, CA, as part of the team's newly established partnership with the leading real estate marketplace. From birthdays to graduations to retirement parties, Big Dog’s Draft House is your neighborhood place to gather and celebrate the momentous occasions in your life.

We pride ourselves in serving the finest craft beers and supporting the best microbreweries. Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Steve Avila, punter Ethan Evans, defensive back Tre Tomlinson, and running back Zach Evans give a tour of the Rams' 2024 Draft House presented by Zillow. Tune in to watch as they showcase the unique Rams memorabilia and talk about the intricate details and creative efforts that brought this year's Draft House to life. The highest drafted player by the organization during the McVay era, which began in January 2017, was center Steve Avila with the 36th pick last year.

They moved to a 67,000-foot-square lot in Hollywood Hills in 2022, months after their Super Bowl win, and that space featured some team logos throughout the house. Rams memorabilia is also displayed throughout the mansion. A few years ago, before he transferred to Florida State, Jared Verse was making his way as a defensive lineman for Albany when his coach set up a Zoom meeting with Rams star Aaron Donald. Joel Smallbone is an appealing actor, even if it is a bit distracting that he’s portraying his own father (he has described the experience as a “therapy session”).

You suggest "music" as a theme for prom and a senior with a notebook and a fuzzy pen is going to ask you to leave. The Rams unveiled their "Draft House," a $16.5 million mansion in Hermosa Beach, California, where they'll be headquartered for the entire 2024 NFL Draft. With help from Zillow, the team turned the 9,150-square-foot mansion into a war room that has a game room, lounge, pool, and a covered bar and patio to go with a scenic view of the Pacific Ocean. Assuming the Rams don't trade out of the first round, they will be picking on the first day of the draft for the first time since 2016 when Jared Goff was the No. 1 overall pick.

Joel is also a character in the film, as a child (Diesel La Torraca), while Daisy Betts plays Helen, the Smallbone matriarch and Joel’s mother. Helen is, of course, the unsung hero of this story, the heart and spine of the family who insists on keeping them together while David makes one last-ditch attempt to make it in the music industry in Nashville. Betts is the emotional center of this film, her character unflagging in her determination, keeping spirits up as David’s dreams are slowly crushed.

In 2023, the Rams set up shop in San Fernando Valley, placing their draft headquarters in a 10,000-square-foot home. They actually called it a "draft lab" instead of a draft house, and it included a bust of Aaron Donald, among other unique items. USC produced the top pick of the NFL draft in Caleb Williams, and UCLA produced the first defensive player selected in Laiatu Latu, taken 15th. Verse is also the first defensive lineman selected by the Rams in the first round since they chose Donald 13th in 2014.

Jared Verse — Edge

The design inspiration for the Zillow Draft House comes from the Rams' season-long theme celebrating music. Custom gold records celebrating the team's Hall of Famers and record-breakers line the walls. Photos and memorabilia from some of the most iconic musical performances from gamedays at SoFi Stadium appear along with concert posters honoring key moments in Rams' history. The headquarters also features a dive bar in the basement with a special merchandise room featuring the team's most recent apparel collaborations. "The NFL Draft sets the tone for the upcoming season, and we're continuously looking for authentic ways to elevate this moment for our team, our fans, and our partners," said Rams Chief Commercial Officer Jennifer Prince. "Zillow's real estate expertise and industry-leading technology set a new standard for how we're approaching this year's draft headquarters and we are thrilled to kick off our partnership with Zillow with this acclaimed campaign."

FOX Sports' NFL staff mock draft has the team selecting Florida State edge Jared Verse, giving Los Angeles some pass-rush help following Donald's retirement this offseason. That might explain why this year's draft house might be a little more lavish than past year's draft houses. The Rams' 2021 draft house was in Malibu, and it didn't seem to feature nearly as much team memorabilia in the team-provided photos.

In the beginning, Big Dog’s originally was known as Holy Cow! Brewing Company and operated on the fabulous Las Vegas Strip. In 2003, we packed up and moved to our current location at Big Dog’s Draft House in Northwestern Las Vegas. We’ve expanded our brewery operations four times since and now sell our kegged and canned beers throughout Nevada. Check out photos of the draft house below, courtesy of the Rams.

While David struggles with the dampening of his dreams, his daughter Rebecca (Kirrilee Berger) is just starting to embrace her musical aspirations. But she can’t chase them until her father gets over his own deep hurt at being rejected by the industry. It takes him some time to understand the advice given to him by his own father, James (Terry O’Quinn), back in Australia, that his family isn’t in the way of what he wants. My husband had the beef tacos and he said they were very good and hearty. He also was very helpful in pointing out some scenic sightseeing areas with directions.

Beers-To-Go & Swag Store

In addition to McVay and general manager Les Snead, the draft house will typically have celebrity guests. Eric Dickerson, Rebel Wilson, Erin Andrews and Brody Jenner were photographed at the venue in 2021. The Rams unveiled the lavish mansion where they will run their draft with features that include a game room, lounge, pool and covered bar.

Membership slots are limited so be sure to sign up before the season kicks off! Movies are great, but when you pair a perfect movie with an expertly handcrafted custom cocktail, the experience becomes otherworldly. This is not the first time the Rams have done this.

The Los Angeles Rams have selected Texas wide receiver Jordan Whittington with the 213th overall pick in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Zillow Draft House includes the Confirmed360 Lounge, Dos Hombres Outdoor Bar, and other luxury amenities. For any hospitality or events, the Zillow Draft House will feature Rams' partners including 1800 Tequila, Audi, Baxter of California, Bud Light, Corona, Gatorade and PepsiCo. Each year we sponsor a “Packer Backer” fan club that offers club swag, weekly and season-long drawing entries, discounts, freebies, and more for a nominal membership fee.

In 2021 they did something similar with a home in Malibu with the help of another company. Sean McVay will have quite the setup for the 2024 NFL draft.

Flanking the stage are Christmas trees draped with whimsical handcrafted instruments and snare drums, inviting guests to sing their favorite holiday tune. The Gingerbread White House alone includes 40 sheets of sugar cookie dough, 40 sheets of gingerbread dough, 90 pounds of pastillage (a quick drying edible paste), 30 pounds of chocolate and 50 pounds of icing. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, a total of 24 people have died trying to cross the river, according to the border guard.

The White House Historical Association Announces Official 2023 White House Christmas Ornament

Each star is engraved with the names of fallen service members, she said -- adding that Gold Star families helped decorate the tree. “Each room is designed to capture this pure, unfiltered delight and imagination” so visitors “see this time of year through the wondrous, sparkling eyes of children,” the first lady said Monday at the first of a month’s worth of holiday receptions. WASHINGTON (AP) — Step inside the White House during the holidays by walking beneath the branches of a Christmas tree. See Santa’s sleigh and his eight reindeer suspended above the grand foyer in dramatic fashion.

The Blue Room

First lady Jill Biden, 72, invited military-connected families to join her Monday afternoon as she received the centerpiece decoration, a longstanding tradition that kicks off several weeks of festivities at the People's House. After delivering a holiday message, Dr. Biden invited the children of National Guard families to a special performance by the cast of the North American tour of Disney’s stage musical, Frozen. This year's annual gingerbread house was created using 40 sheets of cookie and gingerbread dough, 90 pounds of pastillage, 30 pounds of chocolate and 50 pounds of royal icing, the first lady's office said. In the White House's many rooms, visitors will find floating sweet treats, Santa Claus riding his sleigh and the 2023 White House gingerbread house, she said.

The Gold Star Tree

The massive tree this year celebrates cheerful scenes, landscapes and neighborhoods from across the country. The Library of Congress provided samples of editions from the past 200 years that are on display along the ground floor corridor. She thanked the "hundreds of volunteer decorators and designers" who made this year's display possible. Glowing candles and stained glass in the Green Room celebrate faith, and holiday craft-making is the theme in the Red Room, where a tradition of featuring cranberries continues. The State Dining Room has been transformed into Santa’s workshop, with elves’ workbenches, stools and ladders circling Christmas trees, and tools and gifts-in-progress rounding out the décor. Jill Biden said it was “so amazing” to see the Christmas tree atop the entrance to the East Wing when they returned Sunday night after spending the Thanksgiving holiday in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Also on the Ground Floor Corridor is the first nod to the 200th Anniversary of the publication of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, a poem and book deeply etched into so many childhood memories. The Library of Congress provided a sampling of editions from the last 200 years to the White House, displayed in cases for visitors to remember and enjoy. Dr. Biden unveiled the decorations at a Monday event, announcing the theme of "Magic, Wonder, and Joy," and thanking the more than 300 volunteers who helped decorate the White House for the season. Dr. Biden also invited National Guard families to be the first members of the public to experience the decor. Biden detailed the festive decor that visitors will see as they travel throughout the White House, which includes 98 Christmas trees, 72 classic wreaths and more than 140,000 holiday lights.

The decor celebrates the 200th anniversary of the classic tale "Twas the Night Before Christmas," Biden said. First lady Jill Biden unveiled the holiday decor Monday and announced this season's theme is "Magic, Wonder, and Joy," which was inspired by how children experience the holidays. Children of these and other military families were also to be treated to a performance by the cast of the North American tour of the Disney musical "Frozen." The White House estimates it will welcome roughly 100,000 visitors throughout the holiday season. The official Christmas tree, an 18-foot-tall Fraser Fir from Fleetwood, N.C., stands in the center of the oval Blue Room during a media preview of the 2023 holiday decorations at the White House on Monday. Each room and design element throughout the White House holiday display encourages you to embrace your inner child, indulge your senses, and delight in the “Magic, Wonder, and Joy” of the season. A Gold Star tree is also on display in the White House, honoring service members who've died for the country and their families.

The 2023 White House Holiday Display is designed to capture the pure, unfiltered delight and imagination of childhood, to encourage visitors to reflect on this time of year with hearts open to the magic, wonder, and joy of the season. The 2023 White House Holiday Display is designed to capture the pure, unfiltered delight and imagination of childhood, and encourage visitors to reflect on this time of year with hearts open to the “Magic, Wonder, and Joy” of the season. The White House Historical Association has created the Official White House Christmas Ornament since 1981. Collecting and giving the official ornaments has become a holiday tradition for families across the United States and abroad. On Tuesday, after a busy couple of days ushering in the holiday season, the Bidens plan to travel to Massachusetts to make up for any lost family time and celebrate Thanksgiving later in the week.

The massive tree highlights cheerful scenes, landscapes and neighborhoods from across the country. Thank you to children’s book illustrator, Raúl Colón, for his inspired artwork throughout this book, which perfectly captures the “Magic, Wonder, and Joy” of the holidays. A Red Room tradition since 1975, fresh cranberries are integrated into the decor as topiary forms. Marking a new twist to the time-honored tradition are cranberry red beads incorporated into the room’s handmade popcorn garland. At the center of the room is a mechanical theater creation with rotating United States Marine Band figures entertaining guests with herald trumpets.

Law enforcement agencies have uncovered nearly 400 criminal networks that help individuals evade military service by helping them flee abroad, according to Andriy Demchenko, a spokesperson for the state border guard service. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy envisioned a restored White House that conveyed a sense of history through its decorative and fine arts. She sought to inspire Americans, especially children, to explore and engage with American history and its presidents. In 1961, the nonprofit, nonpartisan White House Historical Association was established to support her vision to preserve and share the Executive Mansion’s legacy for generations to come.

As always, one of the highlights of the decor is in the Blue Room, where the official White House Christmas Tree stands on display. This year’s tree is an 18½ foot Fraser Fir that stands floor to ceiling, and requires the annual removal of the Blue Room’s chandelier in order to accommodate its full height. Meanwhile, the Red Room will showcase the First Lady’s Joining Forces initiative to support military and veteran families, caregivers, and survivors, and features ornaments created out of the handprints and painted family portraits of military-connected children. Jill Biden on Monday unveiled this year's White House holiday decorations, themed around the idea of childlike wonder and featuring some 14,975 feet of ribbon, over 350 candles, and more than 33,892 ornaments.

Supported entirely by private resources, the Association’s mission is to assist in the preservation of the state and public rooms, fund acquisitions for the White House permanent collection, and educate the public on the history of the White House. Since its founding, the Association has given more than $115 million to the White House in fulfillment of its mission. First lady Jill Biden offered up some holiday cheer Wednesday, sharing a video of tap dancers galavanting around the decorated White House. The group from Dorrance Dance wore colorful outfits meant to represent characters from The Nutcracker – a classic holiday ballet. Wearing a green sheath dress with a matching coat and heels, she posed with children of military families and took a moment to admire the tree's grandeur, afterward calling it "magnificent" and noting, "Some of the kids said that they had never seen a tree so big."

One of the first Christmas trees visitors will see is decorated with wooden gold star ornaments engraved with the names of fallen service members. One of the first Christmas trees visitors see after entering the White House is decorated with wooden gold star ornaments engraved with the names of fallen service members. Golden moons and shimmering stars are suspended above, with treasured holiday storybooks throughout the peaceful scene. Santa and his sleigh are seen through the window, flying past a full moon on his way to the White House. The marble arches of the Ground Floor Corridor are sprinkled with holiday messages sent from Americans across the country to the President and First Lady. Letters to Santa Claus are magically flying in and out of vintage mail boxes, ready to be sent to the North Pole with a stamp and a wish.

Local 58: The Analog Horror Series (An Introduction)

From our most passionate fans to casual gamers, people hold certain expectations of what a controller looks like, feels like, and moves like. “People’s fingers are remarkably sensitive to those changes, especially the super fans because they’ve built up muscle memory, so every change needs to give them more comfort and an improved response,” he continues. But nothing will ever come close to what Sony achieved with the first PlayStation controller all those years ago. The fact that the modern DualShock 4 is functionally identical speaks to the quality of Sony’s original design, which has lasted longer than entire console brands. And with things looking to stay the same with the PlayStation 5 next year, it seems that Sony thinks so, too. Some, like the rumble feature in the DualShock, would go on to be standards across the industry.

Collaborations with retail partners, e-commerce platforms, and specialized gaming stores facilitate the widespread availability of the controllers, allowing gamers to access these high-performance devices with ease. Every aspect of the controller, from its tactile feel to its visual presentation, undergoes meticulous scrutiny to uphold the highest standards of quality and user satisfaction. These assessments ensure that the controllers maintain their functionality and integrity under a spectrum of real-world usage scenarios. Cable harnesses are meticulously routed and secured to uphold the controller’s internal integrity and longevity. The assembly line is a symphony of synchronized tasks, where skilled technicians meticulously position and secure each component with precision tools and techniques.

For directional controls, you may opt for a joystick or D-pad, each offering unique advantages. Joysticks provide fluid, multidirectional control, ideal for certain gaming genres, while D-pads offer precise digital input, well-suited for platformers and retro gaming. Evaluate the ergonomics and responsiveness of these controls to determine the best fit for your gaming needs. In addition to safeguarding against external threats, custom operating systems can offer granular, hardened privacy controls for USB accessories and other peripherals.

To help more people play comfortably, they extended the hand size range down to the 3rd percentile (previous generations targeted the 5th to 95th percentile), which represents tens of millions of people across the world. Leveraging what they learned from the Elite Controller, the team ultimately designed a hybrid directional pad (D-pad) that incorporated both the standard cross and the faceted dish. Perfecting this approach required hundreds of iterations on just the angles of the D-pad.

In high performance systems, this is often the most expensive part of the whole controller. However, for complex systems designed by folks not thinking about Controllability (capital 'C' - see "Modern Control Theory" by Brogan), lack of an up-front model makes controller design hugely difficult. By meticulously orchestrating the final packaging and distribution of game controllers, manufacturers uphold their commitment to delivering exceptional gaming experiences to a diverse and global audience. The journey from concept to completion culminates in the widespread availability of these high-performance devices, empowering gamers with the tools to embark on immersive and captivating gaming adventures.

From classic arcade-style buttons to high-performance microswitches, each type offers distinct tactile feedback and durability. Additionally, factor in the number of buttons needed for the games you intend to play, ensuring that your controller provides a seamless and intuitive gaming experience. The assembly of a game controller is a meticulous orchestration of precision engineering, skilled craftsmanship, and stringent quality control measures. The process begins with the careful arrangement of components, from the tactile buttons and triggers to the intricate circuitry, within the controller’s housing. Each step in the assembly process demands meticulous attention to detail and adherence to exacting standards to ensure the flawless operation and longevity of the controller.

The team observed how matte surfaces helped our customers maintain the same glide and slide throughout gameplay, so they applied it to the D-pad, bumpers and triggers. They also noticed how the tactile dot patterns on the triggers and bumpers broke up the surface tension of gamers’ hands, which reduces heat and sweat to improve the feel and performance, and implemented that too. “We really focused on small iterations that made sizable performance improvements on the last generation,” Erika explains.

Properly tinned and secured connections minimize the risk of signal interference or electrical shorts, ensuring the long-term functionality of the controller. Additionally, insulate exposed connections using heat-shrink tubing or electrical tape to safeguard against accidental contact and environmental factors. Now, we have designed a closed-loop system with no overshoot, fast rise time, and no steady-state error. Adopting a custom operating system is a strategic decision that emphasizes your company’s commitment to security and proactively addresses the growing cybersecurity threat landscape.

These almost indiscernible changes preserve the recognizable silhouette while making our newest Xbox wireless controller the most universal and inclusive one ever.

The president and first lady take part in many holiday traditions at the White House, including a tree lighting, the decoration reveal and a Christmas address that occurs near the holiday. This year's decor also features several nods to the 1823 poem and book "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," now celebrating its 200th year. In addition to vintage editions on display along the ground floor corridor, the book will be featured in sugar-cookie form alongside the traditional gingerbread White House. The White House Historical Association’s Official 2023 White House Christmas Ornament is a festive holiday wreath adorned with decorations inspired by the handcrafted Christmas ornaments used in the White House during the Gerald R. Ford Jr., administration. Small and delicate depictions of dolls, cherubs, doves, stars, flowers, gingerbread men, candles, and pentagon balls decorate the front of the ornament while the back features emblems related to the life and presidency of Gerald R. Ford.

The Life and Presidency of Gerald R. Ford

National Guard families, who were joining the first lady as part of Joining Forces, her White House initiative to show appreciation for military families, were among the first members of the public to see the decorations. Ninety-eight Christmas trees, more than 142,000 twinkling lights and nearly 34,000 ornaments deck the halls of the White House in ways that first lady Jill Biden hopes will inspire visitors to embrace their inner child and experience the "magic, wonder and joy" of the season. The first Christmas tree featured inside the White House is adorned with wooden Gold Star ornaments that are engraved with the names of fallen service members. The Gold Star tree honors the heroic men and women of our Nation’s military who have laid down their lives for our country, those who are Missing in Action, and the families who carry on their legacies.

Whether sewing a costume for the Christmas pageant, stringing popcorn for the tree, or fashioning homemade ornaments, the holidays are a time for creativity and imagination. The decorations, previewed on Nov. 27 in Washington, D.C., feature letters to Joe Biden and Santa Claus, reindeer figurines, candy-themed-ornaments and more. Inspired by the 200th anniversary of the publication of ’Twas the Night Before Christmas, this year’s gingerbread White House features a recreation of this storied tale. The display includes a sugar cookie replica of the famous book, as well as Santa’s sleigh flying above the White House grounds. This magical poem has delighted children for 200 years, with families across the world gathering together for generations to recite the lyrical lines by memory. "In this season of reflection and goodwill, we hope you will embrace your inner child and delight in simply being present with those you love," President Biden and the first lady wrote in a welcome letter in the commemorative 2023 White House Holiday Guide.

"The Blue Room behind me features the official White House Christmas tree, a stunning creation covered in holiday cheer from across the country," Biden told the crowd. "A vintage passenger train weaves around the tree's base. I know the kids are just going to love it when they visit." "Each room is designed to capture this pure, unfiltered delight and imagination -- to see this season, this time of year through the wondrous, sparkling eyes of children," she said. It's the holiday season at the White House and thousands of feet of ribbon, ornaments and bells are helping mark the occasion. The library honors the tradition of bedtime stories with dangling golden moons and shimmering stars; the China Room has been turned into a sweet shop featuring baked goodies, and the Vermeil Room celebrates music with a display of rotating big Marine Band figurines with trumpets.

Ninety-eight Christmas trees, nearly 34,000 ornaments, over 22,000 bells and more than 350 candles were used in the décor, according to the White House. Nearly 142,500 lights illuminate trees, garlands, wreaths and other displays, and nearly 15,000 feet (4,600 meters) of ribbon are part of it all. The whimsical set of oversized decorations is meant to inspire the feelings of awe and wonder that put children on joyful edge during the holidays, White House aides said. Santa Claus in his sleigh and a team of reindeer fly through the columns of the Entrance Hall of the White House. The ornaments on the Gold Star Christmas tree are engraved with the names of military servicemen who have died.

As the largest room in the White House, the East Room has hosted public receptions, ceremonies, bill signings, and other memorable occasions. It also includes Gilbert Stuart’s portrait of George Washington, which First Lady Dolley Madison helped save in 1814 when the White House was about to be set aflame during the War of 1812. The joyful anticipation of the holidays is front and center in the East Room, with Advent calendars counting down the days to Christmas. The decor of the Vermeil Room (French for gilded silver) represents the joy of music and performance during the holidays. More than 300 designers and decorators volunteered to spend last week transforming the executive mansion.

White House Holidays

President Ford was an eagle scout and an athlete who played on the University of Michigan’s football team. Later the USS Gerald R. Ford, the first-in-class aircraft carrier, was commissioned to honor the thirty-eighth president as the flagship of the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group. These moments are the inspiration for the design of the Official 2023 White House Christmas Ornament. The White House released a fact sheet and was allowing the news media to see all the trees, lights and ornaments before the first lady's event.

Two people have been injured after Russian strikes in the cities of Kupiansk and Vovchansk, local authorities have said. We can now bring you more from Oleksandr Syrskyi, the chief of Ukraine's armed forces, about the situation on the ground. Earlier we reported that a top Ukrainian general said troops had fallen back from three villages in the east of the country. The only ornament of its kind, the Official White House Christmas Ornament is produced by the White House Historical Association, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization, and made in America by a veteran-founded business. Each ornament helps fund the work of the Association’s historians, researchers, and educators to open the doors to the rich history of the “people’s house” for millions of Americans. "Thank you for bringing Jazz and Tap dance to the Whitehouse this Holiday season! It's a scary world right now, but a respite of two truly American art-forms invented in this country is a breath of fresh air," another commented.

The first lady invited National Guard families to be the first members of the public to take in the sights. Before the unveiling of the decor, Biden hosted a round table discussion with National Guard families, her office said. Seventy-two wreaths sporting red ribbons adorn the north and south exteriors of the White House. The official White House Christmas tree, an 18.5-foot-tall Fraser fir, takes its usual place in the Blue Room, where the chandelier has to be taken down to accommodate its height.

A winter wonderland has arrived at the White House, as first lady Jill Biden unveiled this year's decorative theme for the Christmas season on Monday. During the holidays, the Cross Hall features the official White House Menorah, created in 2021 by the White House Executive Residence Carpentry Shop. The menorah was constructed using wood that was removed more than seventy years ago during the Truman-era renovation of the White House. Arranged in the windows are colorful sprays of crystal and prisms, mixed with shimmering fabric and embroidered starbursts to reflect light.

"I don't know how you feel, but I feel it's just breathtaking," the first lady said to applause and cheers during an event unveiling the White House's holiday decorations. "The holidays offer a time for reflection and a break from our hurried lives, a season to be fully present with our friends and our families." The Library of Congress provided samples of editions of the book from the past 200 years that are on display in protective cases along the ground floor corridor. The traditional gingerbread White House includes a large sugar cookie replica of the book opened to a page that says “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.” Santa’s sleigh and reindeer also fly above the cookie White House.

"But it's in these times, when we are searching for hope and healing, that we need those points of light the most, that we need each other the most," she said. "It's in these times that I hope you remember, if even just for a moment or a season, how you saw the world as a child." The traditional gingerbread White House recreates the classic story by featuring a sugar cookie replica of the book along with Santa's sleigh flying above the grounds.

“We kept the existing paneling,” Redmond Warner explains of the primary bedroom. And then once we kind of started layering things that felt more colorful and softer, it just became something so lovely.” The bedside tables are from Lawson-Fenning, and the sconces are Apparatus. Josef Albers artwork, a Mansour Modern rug, and a vintage sofa sourced through 1stDibs are additional standouts. The walls throughout this farmhouse-style home are painted in Silver Satin OC-26 by Sherwin-Williams. The flat roof maintains a low profile and allows the house to remain modest.

Contemporary Kitchen Design

What began as an arduous and almost vertical plot of land resulted in, perhaps, the acme of midcentury-modern residential architecture on the West Coast. With this home, Lautner leaned into the primal state of nature, demanding that his audience turn their preconceived notion of domesticity on its head. It was a bold statement of how humans once lived—among the trees, the rocks, perched atop a hill—and the architect stamped his thumbprint on it. We're excited to announce our new, free Add a Home feature that enables anyone to easily create a beautiful page that showcases a home or home project in front of the amazing and highly engaged Dwell community. For architects, designers, and proud homeowners, adding a home is the best and easiest way to submit your home for Dwell editorial consideration, both online and in the magazine.

With minimalist cabinetry, neutral color palettes, and metallic accents, modern kitchen ideas are worth pursuing if you crave subtle elegance that will never go out of style. These spaces blend aspects of contemporary design with other styles, including traditional and industrial, for a look that’s current, sleek, yet not sterile. Cities like East London and South London reveal a different take on modernism, often incorporating elements of their Victorian past. You’ll find modern style interiors juxtaposing with brick walls and vintage decor in what used to be industrial warehouses.

A Holistic Design Approach

In this breezy communal area of Ashley Gilbreath's beach house, a medium-sized palm plant on the coffee table continues the paint color of the walls into the seating area. As much as house flippers push the all-white, blank-canvas look, we promise you can choose a monochromatic color scheme that's more interesting. This beautiful blue den in a Kansas City home by Mark D. Sikes shows how you can use tonal colors to create depth. Opt for a spacious sectional topped with throw pillows, a large coffee table and simple, framed artwork on a crisp, white wall.

Industrial interior design takes its cue from the distinct look and feel of factories, warehouses, and manufacturing structures. Designer Brian Paquette created this warm, sunken living area in a Southern California home by using jewel tone colors and keeping the furnishings relatively close together. It goes to show that even if your living room is smaller, it doesn't have to feel cramped. Just be intentional about the pieces you pick and how you arrange them.

Warmth radiates through this 3,371 square foot, three bedrooms, and three-and-a-half bathroom abode thanks to the natural, calm palette but modern, contemporary architecture. The exterior of the cottage is simple and modest, featuring stone-clad walls and a pitched roof. In comparison, the interior is bright but also warm and welcoming, featuring white walls and lots of wood.

“I was in my late teens when I first came across John Lautner’s work in a coffee table book, and it completely fascinated me,” Rønning says. The single-story home and its grounds have since been cleared and in its place will be a massive home in the modern farmhouse style that has come to dominate US suburbs. It was most recently home to the late Hilda Rolfe, the widow of Sam Rolfe, co-creator of the series The Man from Uncle.

She has worked as a freelance lifestyle content writer, editor and copywriter in Canada, Costa Rica, Barcelona and southern France before settling in Bath to focus on interiors and arts content. If you live in a climate that lets you enjoy the outdoors all year, invest in comfortable and chic patio furniture. This covered outdoor space by Ashley Gilbreath has multiple conversational zones for your family to occupy so you can enjoy being here even when it's raining. The gorgeously cut example in this living room by Studio Plow looks almost like an arched doorway into another room, creating the illusion of more space.

Modern Kitchen Ideas We Love

Here, we take you inside a Beverly Hills mansion, a New York City duplex, a Paris apartment, and other homes that display the height of modernist design. Located in Mallorca, Spain, this residence is more than just a regular house. In a lot of ways it’s very similar to a resort, featuring a variety of features and spaces aimed towards relaxation.

A contemporary living room designed by Erin Sander seen through the backyard. According to Ramsey, many contemporary homes start with a modern shell and are then layered with unique pieces and finds. “It really is just that perfect juxtaposition of modern pieces blended with old-world finds and great art, and it doesn't all stay in one lane,” he says. Following two world wars the proliferation of urbanization and home ownership, amid suburbanization began, and the demand for modern furnishings grew with it. Iconic names such as Charles and Ray Eames, Herman Miller, Ercol, Florence Knoll, and Hans Wegner flourished on the scene. The typical design of the era, which spans approximately the 1920s to the 60s and 70s, was to embrace the modern technologies of the day.

A simple yet striking piece of art or a sleek console table can add personality without overwhelming these transitional areas. Remember, the key is balance; you want to guide visitors smoothly into your living spaces. Your home’s design can greatly benefit from the sleek, clean lines that glass brings to the table.

The light fixture and curved couch are obviously not from the same era as the ornate crown molding and the fireplace, but they contrast in an elegant way. This kid-friendly space in a San Francisco townhouse by Studio Plow proves a stylish living room can also be a play zone. Just keep a basket handy to stash the colorful toys you don't want on display. Pair neutral walls and floors with a colorful couch for a pop of personality. Take note from design firm ballonSTUDIO, which goes for a forest green fabric and a modular design.

The West Coast aesthetic is eclectic and often filled with bohemian touches, natural elements, exquisite vintage and antique furnishings, and plenty of bold art. Take a peek at the homes of some of the Golden State’s most stylish residents—tech moguls and Hollywood power players alike. In Mary Weatherford’s landmark midcentury-modern home in Los Angeles, art and architecture work hand in glove.

The kitchen island is nothing short of spectacular, especially with the cabinetry and the beautiful sink. Even within a log cabin environment, or something similar, doesn’t mean you can’t modernize the look. If you happen to live in a tiny home, what a great idea to make such a small space work with today’s trends. Hey, if you’re true with the times, odds are you have either a laptop, tablet, or both to keep yourself entertained. It also allows you to mix and match different elements to create your own unique look. This modern renovation of a traditional ranch-style home maintained the midcentury spirit of the home—and turned it into a showcase for the homeowner's collection of iconic furnishings.

Incorporate them into your space through your furniture, artwork, or even light fixtures. The sloping site of this two-bedroom ranch home provides views through an oak savanna and the coastal mountain range. A bar-shaped plan maximizes daylight and natural ventilation, giving the homeowner efficient "modern ranch" living in the heart of Yamhill County wine country. The project by local firm OWIU Studio takes cues from minimalist Asian design and features a spacious living area with functional furniture, including pared-back wooden shelving in a variety of shades.

It has flowers, bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies and all kinds of cool stuff. The Eichler Network, which covers mid-century homes in California, lamented the destruction. A system of shutters on the first floor allows the exposed facade to close off for shade, protection from the weather and increased security.

Using multiple colors and patterns is key, but consider using one color or tone as a connecting theme throughout, as it will provide a sense of balance in the room. Mixing modern with mid-century or antique is fine, and, encouraged, as each piece adds to the bold richness of a maximalist home. For an intriguing space that skips color altogether, use a mix of textures in your living room.

Add a Bold Accent Wall

It’s not just about large windows; consider interior elements like glass walls or staircases that can transform a space by flooding it with natural light. Concrete serves as a versatile and durable foundation or accent throughout your home. It can take on various textures and finishes, turning what was once a purely industrial material into a chic, contemporary staple.

Selecting Minimalist Furniture

Some of the elements that define a transitional bathroom, living room, kitchen or bedroom are muted tones, the use of natural materials, shaker style storage, shiplap, sleek fixtures, large format tiles, and patina. Designing a modern space doesn't have to be void of thrifted, antique and vintage pieces. For this balanced interior, designer Kristen Elizabeth pairs a modern sofa, a geometric area rug and white side tables with retro leather armchairs and an antique console table. Let large windows be the center of interest, which is particularly easy when there's a great view. To welcome natural light and stick with the organic aesthetic, designer Christina Kim hangs brown textured blinds. Zosia’s House seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living, with thoughtfully designed terraces that extend the living space and provide opportunities for relaxation and entertainment.

Clean lines and a natural color palette are on display in this contemporary living room designed by Erin Sander. Ashley Montgomery enhanced this cozy yet modern, farmhouse living room with light-colored wood throughout. From the side table to the coffee table to the floors, the wood choices make the space look more open and brighter.

White walls, trim and ceilings help guarantee a space feels bigger, brighter and more airy. To stick with the white color palette, designer Christina Kim brings in a large, white sectional sofa. Not only do these striking shelves take advantage of vertical space, they showcase collectibles, books and artwork and infuse color into the interior. Here, architecture and interiors studio JAM uses a mix of modern, traditional and vintage pieces for a curated look. Recognizing the importance of energy efficiency, the architects carefully considered the window placement and orientation to optimize natural light while mitigating heat gain.

Design Styles

Architects often pair glass and concrete for their contrasting yet complementary natures. Unlike contemporary interiors, which are much more fluid and ever-changing, modern homes incorporate specific qualities and elements often derived from or inspired by the midcentury-modern movement of the ’40s and ’50s. It’s for that reason that Ramsey’s parents’ house may look different today than it did 40 years ago, but in both iterations it was contemporary.

Most influential architects

“Space was left empty where today a developer would probably squeeze in more houses,” she says of the area. Inside, original features such as an open-tread staircase ground the space, but Corinna’s contemporary additions also feel entirely appropriate – a kitchen clad in Douglas Fir and concrete on the floors. “We’ve increased the usable space on the ground floor by about 50 per cent, but preserved the spirit of the design,” she says. Textured textiles on cushions or throws can provide contrast, while an accent wall painted in a bold color or adorned with wallpaper delivers a concentrated burst of personality. In your pursuit of a clean design, remember that ‘less is more’—select pieces that resonate with your style but also maintain that sleek, uncluttered feel modern homes are known for.

Think of modern living room designs that embrace ultra-comfortable seating and flexible layouts. For a truly contemporary feel, integrate an open concept space, which may blend with the dining room or kitchen, allowing natural light to flow freely. The aim is minimal clutter and maximum style—clean lines and practical yet sleek furniture. When you step into a space that embodies modern interior design, you’re enveloped by a sense of simplicity and elegance.

Defined by clean lines, natural materials and minimalist decor, modern home design is one of the most well-known interior design styles. In the living room, the aesthetic translates to a space that feels airy and uncluttered, yet cozy and welcoming. Here, we've rounded up dreamy modern living room ideas that showcase steal-worthy design trends and functional layouts for casual family time. Mixing old and new pieces in a range of styles can also give your living room a modern and eclectic feel. Your modern house interior might typically feature a neutral color palette with pops of bold color to add depth and interest. Large windows are standard, inviting natural light to flood the space, enhancing the overall open and airy feel.

One of the most important aspects of modern design is creating a clean and uncluttered space. It is characterized by simple lines and shapes, as well as a focus on function over form. Originally a single-story home with great midcentury bones, this ranch renovation added a second story and windows to increase natural light intake. It also expanded the north- and east-facing decks, fulfilling the homeowner's request for additional outdoor space. The following homes shared by our community are a mix of renovations and new constructions that show why ranch homes continue to be viewed as midcentury gems. There’s little that inspires us like thoughtful interiors that express an individual’s style, life and character.

These elements are not just functional but also form the aesthetic backbone of your space. Texture is the secret ingredient that makes a room feel warm and complete. You can mix materials and textures to add depth and interest to your spaces.

Wood may also be present, providing warmth to the otherwise cool palette. Furniture in a modern home has a distinct role, focusing on functionality without sacrificing style. Textiles and textures in a modern design are used strategically to add warmth and comfort without overwhelming the space.

Norovirus survives on surfaces, and it can spread easily on ships where rooms are close, buffets proliferate, and people share confined spaces. Cruise Hive was established back in 2008 and among the earliest blogs in the industry. Since the start, it's been our aim to provide the latest cruise news covering all the major cruise lines. We make sure cruisers are fully prepared for their cruise vacation with tips on ships and ports.Millions of travelers rely on Cruise Hive in the United States, Europe, Australia, and around the world. Although two crew members were killed as a result of the explosion, things could have been much worse if the ship was fully loaded with passengers and crew. While the loss of the cruise ship was undoubtedly newsworthy, its sinking was completely due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances.

COVID-19 pandemic on cruise ships

Francesco decided to change the route of the cruise ship which caused the accident. The ship sailed closer to land than she normally would and as a result, she overturned. 32 people lost their lives and captain Francesco was charged with manslaughter and sentenced to 16 years in prison.

Travel insurance provides comprehensive protection and a worry-free vacation. In 2019 a 16-year-old boy died when he tried to climb across outdoor balconies after losing his room key. Sadly this isn’t an isolated incident with many other people also meeting the same fate.

Public Health Responses to COVID-19 Outbreaks on Cruise Ships — Worldwide, February–March 2020

In August 1986, the ship was involved in a collision in Tsemes Bay on the northern coast of the Black Sea. On October 22, 1961, when docked near the Grenada coast, an explosion occurred in the engine room. Thanks to the actions of the crew, improved communication technology, and the rapid response of nearby ships, 1,660 crew and passengers were rescued. When the RMS Lusitania belonged to the Cunard Line, it was the world’s largest passenger ship. On May 7, 1915, a U-boat hit the Lusitania with a torpedo near the Ireland coast.

Cruise ship vacations are meant to be a time for fun and relaxation, however, they can sometimes be met with a medley of worst-case scenarios. A 2018 Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) report found that 50% of cruise ship passengers were over the age of 50, and almost a third of that 50% were over 70 years old. When vacationing on a cruise ship, the last thing on most people’s minds is the possibility of death. Yet, with cruises often being the holiday choice for the older demographic, it’s estimated that around 200 people pass away annually on cruise vacations. From there, the family of the deceased was able to coordinate with the cruise line's port agent to send the body back to the United States. According to the Cruise Lines International Association, the latter two can have requirements that necessitate the off-loading of anyone who's died, or preclude the line from being able to offload a body.

Crew Suicides and Coronavirus

On larger cruise ships and cruise lines that are members of Clia, counselling or other support may be offered to anyone who has been affected by the death. The cruise line may also offer assistance with any early disembarkation or repatriation. The number of outbreaks might also be a sign that ridership on cruise ships is returning to pre-pandemic levels. In 2019, nearly 15 million people took cruises in the US, while that number was down to only 2 million in 2021, and about 5 million in 2022. Put simply, once you remove ocean liner, cargo ship, ferry, and other types of vessel accidents from the equation, the number of cruise ships that have sunk emerges as a relatively small number. In 1925, the SS Admiral Nakhimov sailed as a passenger liner called the SS Berlin.

The cruise ship was only eight years old and the captain on board was Francesco Schettino. On some cruise lines, you will find lifeguards but this isn’t mandatory and not all cruise lines have them. Royal Caribbean and Norwegian Cruise Line have recently added lifeguards but Princess cruises are one cruise line that doesn’t have lifeguards on duty. Despite all of the warnings some guests still do not respect the cruise lines rules and they try to do things like jump from the balconies. Guests who do such irresponsible things are usually banned from the cruise line for life, and from other cruise lines too. Harmony of The Seas was docked in Labadee, Haiti at the time and the boy fell to his death landing on the pier below.

They offer cruise-specific plans to protect you and your loved ones while you sail. The design and operation of these morgues are strictly regulated to meet maritime and international health standards. For example, the morgue is separated from food storage areas, a mandatory health regulation to prevent cross-contamination.

Average age of cruise passengers

The rescue rate was as low as 6 percent on at least one cruise line. Death rates for overboard incidents vary significantly among cruise lines, according to Klein’s calculations, which he said proves more can be done to protect passengers. Among these emergency codes are “Charlie” for security threats, “Delta” for bio-hazard in some cruise lines, and “Bravo” for a fire emergency in most cruise lines. For example, while Royal Caribbean ships use “Alpha” for medical emergencies, Carnival ships use it for fire emergencies. Cruise ships are often settings for outbreaks of infectious diseases because of their closed environment and contact between travelers from many countries. The total number of deaths is low, considering that more than 30 million people embark on cruises annually.

In 2020 an increased number of crew members committed suicide during the coronavirus crisis. In may 2020,  5 crew members committed suicide on board cruise ships. Most jumped to their deaths and some hung themselves in cabin bathrooms.

In rare instances on small vessels with fewer morgue spaces, there have been reports of bodies stored in the ship’s large freezers or refrigerators, depending on the available cooling options. Defenders of the industry often characterize cruise ships as a microcosm of a city, with the same problems that come up on land. A person can also become unconscious from hypothermia in as little as 15 minutes, depending on sea temperatures. A look at available statistics suggests that, in general, cruise ships are statistically safe.

The statistics show that the number of deaths on cruise ships is relatively low compared to the vast number of people who embark on cruises each year. Most deaths on cruise ships result from natural causes, and accidents or incidents leading to fatalities are rare. The cruise industry continuously evaluates and updates safety protocols to enhance the overall safety of passengers. Cruise ships provide an incredible opportunity for travelers to explore the world while enjoying luxurious amenities and unforgettable experiences. The potential for disease outbreak aboard a cruise ship became more evident as thousands of passengers contracted COVID-19 while traveling on cruises in early 2020.

This highlights the importance of travel insurance mentioned above. At the time of the eruption, there were reportedly 47 people on the island and 19 people were killed, most on Royal Caribbean’s excursions. In 2018 Almarosa Terorio was cruising on the Royal Princess with her husband when she fell to her death.

The number of deaths on board cruise ships each year is influenced by many different factors. During the early days of the Covid pandemic, for example, its is likely that an above-average number of people died. A cruise line that caters to an older clientele is likely to experience a higher number of deaths than one with younger guests. Under the Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act, for example, cruises to and from the US are required to report all suspicious deaths, murders and missing persons, as well as any criminal activity, to the FBI. The industry trade organisation Cruise Lines International Association (Clia) has adopted this legislation as a policy that its members follow worldwide.

While this may sound alarming, most of these occurred in the first half of the previous century. With that said, there have been some highly publicized cruise ship sinkings recently. She departed for a week-long Mediterranean cruise on January 13, 2012, with about 3,229 people onboard.

Available statistical models of the Diamond Princess outbreak suggest that 17.9% of infected persons never developed symptoms (9). A high proportion of asymptomatic infections could partially explain the high attack rate among cruise ship passengers and crew. Although these data cannot be used to determine whether transmission occurred from contaminated surfaces, further study of fomite transmission of SARS-CoV-2 aboard cruise ships is warranted. During February 11–21, 2020, the Grand Princess cruise ship sailed roundtrip from San Francisco, California, making four stops in Mexico (voyage A). Most of the 1,111 crew and 68 passengers from voyage A remained on board for a second voyage that departed San Francisco on February 21 (voyage B), with a planned return on March 7 (Table).
