“A regional hub is a very natural thing to emerge,” said Portland, Ore.-based Jonathan Cohen, vice president of applied research at NVIDIA, which is investing heavily in AI-mediated drug design. Research on it began here as an undergraduate project and would go on to form the basis of a spinout company. Advanced Drug DeliveryNanoscale protein assemblies that move therapeutics to specific cells within the body. They are found inside every living thing and act as structural components, transporters, signaling molecules, and much more.
Design of highly functional genome editors by modeling the universe of CRISPR-Cas sequences
The same feat can be achieved with protein sequences and structures, where the algorithm draws on a rich repository of real-world biological information to dream up new proteins based on the patterns and principles observed in nature. To do this, however, researchers also need to give the computer guidance on the biochemical and physical constraints that inform protein design, or else the resulting output will offer little more than artistic value. A different strategy incorporates human expert knowledge into the process of backbone generation for design. The TopoBuilder (72) protocol lets designers build proteins in a bottom-up approach starting from functional motifs (e.g., a helix in a binding interface). Designers define the sizes and three-dimensional coordinates of secondary structure elements.
Computer-based design of sensors that can monitor endogenous Ras activity
Both max-product and sum-product belief propagation have been used to optimize protein design. Other powerful extensions to the dead-end elimination algorithm include the pairs elimination criterion, and the generalized dead-end elimination criterion. This algorithm has also been extended to handle continuous rotamers with provable guarantees. The IPD generates open-source AI tools to craft protein-based therapeutics, vaccines, materials and biosensors, and its Seattle-area spinouts and affiliated companies interact with each other and partner with larger biopharma companies. If you want an amazing protein label that stands out from the competition, work with a professional designer.
Functional-motif scaffolding
“They are models, so you have to take them with a grain of salt, but now you have this extraordinarily large amount of predicted structures that you can build upon,” says Zanghellini, who says this tool is a core component of Arzeda’s computational design workflow. One effective strategy to understand protein sequence and structure is to approach them as ‘text’, using language modeling algorithms that follow rules of biological ‘grammar’ and ‘syntax’. In a recent publication, Madani and colleagues describe a language modeling algorithm that can yield novel computer-designed proteins that can be successfully produced in the lab with catalytic activities comparable to those of natural enzymes. Language modeling is also a key part of Arzeda’s toolbox, according to co-founder and CEO Alexandre Zanghellini. For one project, the company used multiple rounds of algorithmic design and optimization to engineer an enzyme with improved stability against degradation.
Membrane proteins
Symmetry was used to design a 4-fold (colors) symmetric TIM barrel (34) and repeat proteins (67). D, de novo protein fold families can be generated by sampling the geometries (length, as well as relative position and orientation) of secondary structure elements (28, 32). E, generative machine learning methods (red) build novel backbone structures by latent space sampling (81). The hallucination method (45) (red) uses the TR-Rosetta neural network to predict the structure distribution of a sequence. The sequence is optimized using Monte Carlo–simulated annealing by maximizing the divergence between the predicted structure distribution and a background distribution representing unstructured proteins.
Design of globular proteins
Tandem repeat proteins made of a series of identical helix–loop–helix–loop structural motifs can be systematically assembled (67). By modulating the curvature, alpha tandem repeat proteins can form closed toroid structures (68). A large number of proteins with diverse shapes can be generated by designing rigid junctions to connect helical repeat proteins (69).
The global protein design and engineering market has advanced due in large part to advancements in genetic engineering techniques. Scientists now have amazing tools at their disposal for designing and producing novel proteins with enhanced features and capabilities thanks to directed evolution and recombinant DNA technologies. The high demand for tailored medications, technological improvements, and the growing incidence of infectious, chronic, and protein-deficient disorders are some of the drivers propelling the global market for protein design and engineering. Moreover, the expansion of the global industry can also be attributed to the government's increased support for protein engineering R&D, the availability of reliable healthcare infrastructures, and advancements in bioinformatics databases and tools.

A computationally designed chimeric antigen receptor provides a small-molecule safety switch for T-cell therapy
Challenges are particularly apparent in the design of proteins with new functions (Fig. 7). New protein structures can be designed with considerable success rates without experimental optimization (Table 1), but the activities of proteins derived directly from the computational design are often weaker than achievable activities of naturally evolved proteins. Therefore, computational designs are often (although not always) optimized by experimental methods such as site saturation mutagenesis (4, 20). The de novo ligand-binding site design requires high accuracy in sampling and scoring.
In particular, AbDesign breaks proteins from a structure family into a few modular segments based on structural alignments and then recombines these segments into new backbones. AbDesign is able to build large numbers of similar structures even for moderately sized families of homologs. An elegant example of a protein design approach to delineate protein function in vivo is seen in the work of Shokat et al.73 By designing a protein kinase with altered ATP-binding specificity they were able to identify substrates of that kinase. The strategy was to first introduce mutations in the kinase that enlarged the substrate-binding pocket such that bulky ATP derivatives could be bound. The binding pocket on the wild-type kinase is too small to bind the bulky ATP derivative.

In the following sections, we describe advances in the design in the areas of binding proteins for ligands and other proteins, large protein assemblies, membrane proteins, and protein switches. Solutions of fixed backbone side-chain design problems are sensitive to the backbone structures used as input. Because the Lennard-Jones potential term in scoring functions (see the section below) scales as the 12th power of distance when two atoms are close to each other, a small adjustment to the backbone structure may result in a considerable energy change.
Another crucial component of the design is the orthogonality of the pairs—unintentional cross-reactivity between different coiled-coil monomers would prevent the proper assembly of the tetrahedron. The resulting 3D structure was imaged by atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the proximity of the N- and C-termini at the same vertex was confirmed by a split-fluorescent protein assay. Protein origami is attractive because such structures can be easily functionalized for use in pathway engineering, difference imaging, and novel vaccines. However, a rational protein design approach must model some flexibility on the target structure in order to increase the number of sequences that can be designed for that structure and to minimize the chance of a sequence folding to a different structure. For example, in a protein redesign of one small amino acid (such as alanine) in the tightly packed core of a protein, very few mutants would be predicted by a rational design approach to fold to the target structure, if the surrounding side-chains are not allowed to be repacked. The success rate is defined as the percentage of reported designs in each study that adopt the designed structure (folded, blue; experimental structure determined, orange) or function (green, red).
In a manner analogous to networks that produce images from user-specified inputs, RFdiffusion enables the design of diverse functional proteins from simple molecular specifications. A number of machine learning methods for protein sequence design were developed recently (Fig. 3E). Deep neural network methods were trained to predict probabilities of amino acids at each residue position of a backbone structure (102, 103). Generative models learn distributions of protein sequences and can generate new native-like protein sequences with or without input backbone structures. A number of generative models were developed for sequence design, including generative adversarial networks (104), variational autoencoders (105, 106), and graph-based (107, 108) models.

But during his lunch today, Macron said some pretty — some pretty harsh words about the IRA. He said, for example, it is super aggressive against French com- — competition — competitors, and it’ll “kill” — quote, “kill” jobs in the EU. So, yes, we are reading what you all are writing and looking at what you all are reporting about the misinformation that is out there. But, you know, I would hope that all Americans, including social media companies, civil rights organizations, as I just laid out, including Fox as well, will agree that we need to — you know, we need to — to, you know, call out hate speech and misinformation. Let’s not forget there’s groups like NAACP, the Anti-Defamation League, and the public health leaders have been very vocal about their concerns as well. But what we continue to see from Republican officials just across — across the country is that they want to — to take away that right, to take away that freedom.
Karine Jean-Pierre Is The 1st Black Woman In Decades To Brief White House Press
Jean-Pierre was a lettered track-and-field athlete during her days at Long Island’s Kellenberg High School. In her memoir, Jean-Pierre describes herself as “a standout cross country runner, setting records on Long Island,” adding that she was offered track scholarships but chose to focus on academics instead. Nonetheless, she still ran on the track team at the New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury, where she graduated in 1997. She later graduated from Columbia University in 2003. It was during this time that she and Biden hit it off. According to her memoir Moving Forward, Jean-Pierre and Biden had their first one-on-one conversation in 2009 when sitting next to each other on an Air Force Two flight from New Jersey.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday ruled out holding talks with McCarthy. The White House also slammed House Republicans for putting some of the party’s “most extreme members” onto plum committee assignments. And so now what we’re seeing — and you’ve heard us talk about this — is we’re seeing an economy that’s going into a transition to more stable and steady growth.
Jean-Pierre has had a few rough briefings, winding up in the hot seat on days when there were headlines the White House didn't have great answers for. In one briefing on Air Force One, she accidentally suggested the U.S. favored admitting Ukraine to NATO, before quickly walking it back upon landing. She is generally well liked among reporters and will provide continuity as significant turnover is expected in White House press operations in the coming weeks. "It’s a very emotional day, that’s probably the best way that I can explain it, a very emotional day and I just appreciate this time and this moment and I hope that I make people proud," Jean-Pierre said during the White House briefing.

President Biden Announces Karine Jean-Pierre as White House Press Secretary
Press secretaries act as the primary spokesperson for the United States Government and the President, senior executives, and policies. Karine Jean-Pierre is the current White House Press Secretary. Thanking some of the senior administration officials, as well as her press shop, Psaki said she was "very grateful to them," and countered those she said label Washington as "rotten" and "corrupt."
Jen Psaki
Over the past six months, Ukraine has had to ration ammunition, and that has resulted in the loss of some territory in the east, including the city of Avdiivka. The bill makes important investments in our defense industrial base that will strengthen our own military. And, of course, it provides timely support to our allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific as well. But it was also a reminder, in getting to see her, that there are still Americans and others being held hostage by Hamas. And we’re working day in, day out to ensure all of them also are able to get safely home to their loved ones.
Who Speaks for the President? Depends on Whom You Ask.
And then, third, the United States is building up our capacity to support Ukraine. For example, we’re investing in our own domestic production of 155-millimeter artillery rounds. Since the start of this conflict, we’ve more than doubled our monthly production of 155. By the end of this year, we will have doubled it again.
Working space in the White House for the press corps
The press secretary told NBC News that she is “committed to the president” and is “not going anywhere” shortly after rejecting the offer. Top aides and communications staff at the White House attempted to give White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre the boot by recruiting outside allies, the New York Post reported Friday. Not every president, however, worked to gain favourable headlines.
WASHINGTON — President Biden on Thursday selected Karine Jean-Pierre, the principal deputy press secretary, to replace Jen Psaki as the top White House spokeswoman, making her the first Black woman to hold one of the most high-profile jobs in American politics. Prior to her work with Harris during the 2020 election and with the Biden–Harris administration, Jean-Pierre was the senior advisor and national spokeswoman for the progressive advocacy group MoveOn.org. She was also previously a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC and a lecturer in international and public affairs at Columbia University. Jean-Pierre has been open throughout her time as White House press secretary about her sexuality. In honor of National Coming Out Day last year, she took a few moments during a press briefing to share her own fears prior to coming out.
President Biden has named Karine Jean-Pierre as his second White House press secretary, replacing Jen Psaki later this month. Jean-Pierre, who has been Psaki's deputy since the start of the administration, will make history several times over. Anita Dunn is one of the nation’s top communications and political strategists, and is a close advisor to President Biden. She recently served as a Senior Advisor to President Biden, and is currently a partner and founding member of SKDK.
And so, that’s what we’re going to keep saying, keep calling on. And — and we’ll let the universities handle that process on how they’re — how they’re dealing on the ground. I can only speak to the importance of this — this law moving forward — this bill moving forward — obviously, the President signed it to- — signed today, so it’s now law — and the importance of making sure that we move forward with that divestment of TikTok. There’s time — there’s time — there’s certainly time on the books to see how this plays out.
She is expected to take an on-air role with MSNBC. "I’m just so grateful to have had Karine by my side for this over the last 15 months, and I just can’t wait to see her shine at the podium," Psaki said, as she held Jean-Pierre's hand. "Congratulations, and I can’t wait to see you bring your own style and brilliance to this job. I love you."
Although technology changed the job somewhat, Hagerty himself worked to better organize presidential communications. He set goals and procedures that would become the work of the White House Communications Office. Hagerty also traveled internationally to prepare for Eisenhower’s presidential visits. Since the Hamas terrorist attack on Oct. 7, Ms. Jean-Pierre has yielded the spotlight to a lower-ranking official, John F. Kirby. For months, Mr. Kirby has regularly co-hosted her daily briefings, often fielding more questions from journalists than she does, and appeared more frequently on major political news programs as the administration’s spokesperson.
Gas prices are down about $1.52 per gallon since June, for a savings of $160 per month for American families with two cars.

At that preview, they are sharing information about the menu and the décor for the state dinner. Just a few hours ago, President Macron joined Vice President Harris for a briefing at NASA headquarters. The visit underscores our deepening collaboration on space and — on space, and came on the heels of the very first U.S.-France Comprehensive Space Dialogue, which was held in Paris last month.
With Salinger, Kennedy held the first live televised press conferences. Salinger enjoyed a close relationship with both Kennedy and reporters, though that relationship changed with Johnson, who referred to reporters as “spies.” Reporters responded with their own cynicism as the Vietnam conflict escalated. Salinger was succeeded by George Reedy, who was followed by Bill Moyers, who was then replaced by George Christian—all of whom served, collectively, for less than four years.
As Senior Advisor to President Biden, Anita advised on the administration’s overall strategy and messaging, helping the President take steps and win legislative victories that helped jumpstart the economy after the pandemic. Prior to that, she served as a senior advisor on the Biden-Harris campaign, advising on all aspects of the campaign. At SKDK, Anita has worked with progressive and issue advocacy campaigns, given strategic advice to elected officials, political candidates, CEOs, nonprofits and corporations. “Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people. Jill and I have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice speaking for me and this Administration.

He met with reporters 280 times in just four years. In a presidency bookended by the Persian Gulf War and economic recession, Fitzwater and Bush excelled in offering open communication to the press but failed to articulate larger leadership themes. Press secretaries have fulfilled their roles to varying degrees of success. In high-pressure situations, some have made controversial statements or misspoken. Others were forced into difficult positions of loyalty, knowingly or unknowingly.

A Proclamation on Workers Memorial Day, 2024
In 2020 Grisham was succeeded by Kayleigh McEnany, the last White House press secretary of the Trump administration. Jennifer Rene Psaki[1] (/ˈsɑːki/; born December 1, 1978)[2][3] is an American television political analyst and former government official. A political advisor who served under both the Obama and Biden administrations, she served the Biden administration as the 34th White House press secretary[4] until May 2022. The press secretary is responsible for collecting information about actions and events within the president's administration and issues the administration's reactions to developments around the world.
Karine Jean-Pierre is currently the Principal Deputy Press Secretary and Deputy Assistant to the President. Karine is a long-time advisor to President Biden, having served in senior communication and political roles in the Biden Administration, the Biden campaign, and to then-Vice President Biden in the Obama Administration. Jean-Pierre denied an offer to become president of EMILY’s List, a group raising money for Democratic female candidates supporting abortion, the Post reported.
In Howard Stern interview, Biden says he's 'happy' to debate Trump
Work space for reporters in the White House was first introduced about 1898, during William McKinley’s presidency. His secretary, George Cortelyou, carried out various tasks, one of which was to meet daily with reporters. Theodore Roosevelt, who created a space in the West Wing for reporters to be stationed permanently. Roosevelt sought to make his own news from the bully pulpit, a term he introduced to describe the position of authority of the White House, from which he and members of his administration could speak out about their agenda and activities. Roosevelt also made his own news in meetings with selected reporters.
White House press secretary, senior U.S. official who oversees the communication of the executive branch of the U.S. government and who communicates on behalf of the U.S. president across print, broadcast, and Internet channels. The White House press secretary is appointed by the president. "You have debated me. And at times we have disagreed. That is democracy in action. That is it working," she said. "Without accountability, without debate, government is not as strong. And you all play an incredibly pivotal role, thank you for what you do. Thank you for making me better. And most importantly, thank you for the work every day you do to make this country stronger." "People always ask me, and I'm sure you guys get asked this too, about whether Washington is rotten," she said to the reporters.
Psaki, who is reportedly headed for a new opportunity at MSNBC, announced her departure earlier this month. Psaki, who has been praised as one of the best briefers to hold the high-pressure position, said Jean-Pierre will bring her "own style, brilliance and grace to the podium." When Psaki and Jean-Pierre prepared for the start of the administration, they discussed how to build what Psaki called a drama-free workplace, "where we, on our best days, we're rebuilding trust with the public."

"I appreciate the historic nature, I really do. But I believe being behind this podium, being in this room, being in this building, is not about one person. It's about what we do on behalf of the American people." Ms. Jean-Pierre, who will succeed Jen Psaki, will be the first Black woman and the first openly gay person to serve in the role. In formally announcing Jean-Pierre's new role, Psaki, fighting back tears from the briefing room podium, said having a Black woman who was also LQBTQ+ in the high-profile position "will give a voice to so many." We’re not saying we do not want TikTok to exist. We’re not saying that we do not want Americans to use TikTok. We want to make sure that it’s done in a way that we protect our national security and that we protect Americans.
And — and broadly speaking here — and you’ve heard us say this before — I know there was a lot of concern in here back in October on whether there was too much focus on women’s — women losing their constitutional right. And — and, as you can see, there should — there should be more concern. As the President said yesterday, he’ll work with anyone — Democrat, Republican, or independent — with ideas on how we can provide working families breathing room and build a stronger, more resilient economy for the long haul. That’s what the American people voted for in November. "It's a real honor just to be standing here today," Jean-Pierre said in May 2021 during her first turn behind the famous lectern.
We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better. Today, President Biden announced Karine Jean-Pierre has been promoted to be Assistant to the President and White House Press Secretary. Karine will step into the Press Secretary role replacing Jen Psaki, who will depart from the White House on May 13. “I witnessed Jeff and Anita coming pretty hard to Karine’s defense after [the January Axios report on Kirby wanting to call on reporters himself] and asking others to do the same,” one Democrat told the Post. Zients praised Jean-Pierre as “an incredibly talented communicator” and said the White House is “lucky to have her” on the team in a statement to the Post.
We are also providing Ukraine with new capabilities. I’m able to confirm, as you’ve heard from others, that in February the President directed his team to provide Ukraine with a significant number of ATACMS missiles for use inside Ukraine’s sovereign territory. That shipment started moving in March as part of the PDA that the President authorized on March 12th, and those missiles have arrived in Ukraine. Second, our allies, as the President said this morning, have been mobilizing in support of Ukraine alongside us. Just yesterday, the UK announced a significant new package of military aid for Ukraine, alongside major investments that they are making in their defense industrial base, putting their defense budget on a path to reach 2.5 percent of their GDP by the end of the decade. And the United States welcomes these moves from a stalwart ally.
She reportedly did so with the support of White House chief of staff Jeff Zients. Following his victory in the presidential election of 2020, Joe Biden named Jen Psaki as White House press secretary. After Joslin came journalist Stephen T. Early, who served under Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Early planned to hold conferences only on the occasion of news events rather than on a schedule. Still, through a series of conferences to trumpet the New Deal, he gained popular celebrity. With Roosevelt, Early served the longest tenure of all press secretaries, from 1933 to 1945.
And while today’s announcement is very good news for Ukraine, they are still under severe pressure on the battlefield, and it is certainly possible that Russia could make additional tactical gains in the coming weeks. And that’s because of the deep reservoir of support there is for Ukraine. And that’s true of Democrats, it’s true of Republicans, it’s true of independents. And that’s what’s shown through in the votes, both in the House and the 79-vote aye vote outcome we saw in the Senate last night.
You’re certain to find inspiration to transform your outdoor space. If you’re tight on space and need small garden ideas, consider adding an elevated planter to your deck or patio. In addition to being at a more comfortable working height, elevated planters are very versatile. They can accommodate flowers, vegetables, herbs, and other smaller plants. This Burpee planter features durable cedar boards with deep beds that hold up to 150 quarts of soil. Line your fence with trees to create walls of green to surround your corner garden.

If you have a white picket fence around your home, planting a rose bush in one corner can make your yard more attractive from both inside and outside of the fence. Plant some smaller flowers next to the rose bush to enhance its beauty, or choose an exuberant China rose variety such as ‘Mutabilis’ to eat up a sizable chunk of the yard. Do you put these in a scrapbook with the height of the flowers? I love the tutorial, (now I want those dies, lol) Just wondering about adding to my books. Because each and every home will present a different constellation of design criteria, there are infinite ways to integrate the front and sideyard landscape into top notch curb appeal. Good design is a process of solving problems in an aesthetically pleasing way.

If you’re looking for shady garden corner ideas that will provide a cool escape on a hot day, build a pergola. The latticed roof of a pergola offers an ideal structure for ivy, roses, and other climbing plants to grow on, and it provides increased shade and cover from the sun, as well. You can even hang a small bird feeder on the pergola to attract birds to your newfound oasis.

Your designer will know that the point where the backs of intersecting sidewalks meet is the transition from sideyard and front yard. It's important because a driver sitting at the stop sign looks right across this corner to see if there's oncoming traffic. This sight line is calculated by measuring back from the front corner about 25 feet in both directions. Connect these furthest points to create the third side of a triangle. Anything within the triangle will be limited by codes to ensure it remains clear for drivers.
Discourteous foot traffic cutting across the corner of the front lawn is another issue. Additionally, pet damage at homes with lawn at back of sidewalk results in what some call "dog spot disease". Fortunately a good designer can solve all these problems. Absolutely gorgeous layouts and what a beautiful flowers you did...loving everything on the pages. Real estate agents know corner lots can be some of the largest in a subdivision, but these homes will be more exposed to the street than any other site planning orientation. Front yard landscaping is no different when it comes to the entry, but the rest of the yard, which includes the corner and the adjacent sideyard, may require some detailed planning.
The part of your yard around your mailbox doesn’t have to be wasted space. You can turn the ground surrounding your mailbox into a gorgeous flower bed. Plant some climbing flowers along the base of the mailbox, and then add a few shorter plants and flowers along the perimeter of the garden bed. Use a mini picket fence to outline your garden space and jam pack it with colorful annual flowers.

There will be limitations to height of anything in the triangle. Like many other city planning departments, Pasadena, California stipulates that anything here cannot exceed 2'-6" (30") in height. That means you can't put hedges, fences or even very tall rose bushes that could possibly obscure the sight line. I might be able to make something similar using my Cricut.
The roses are perfect on your gorgeous layouts ~ I can't wait to make them! Love all the hints you give out and all the inspiration you pass on to us.. Beautiful layouts and I.must say thank you for the rose tutorial. Beautiful flowers and absolutely stunning lo's.
Mid-Century Corner Garden
Turn a corner of your backyard into an intimate garden space. Add a bistro table, plenty of tall plants like rose bushes for increased privacy, and a variety of plants with different textures and colors to complete the space. Add a few finishing touches, such as some potted plants as a table centerpiece, and you’ll be all set. Remodel your outdoor space by adding a round patio and round wooden table in the corner of your yard. The contrast between the green grass, trees, and other bushes and the natural stone patio and wooden table will create a visually appealing masterpiece.
Taller fences double as a privacy wall between you and your neighbors, and you can build a small patio in that secluded space. Plant flowering bushes and plants around the patio, and add a few comfortable chairs where you can sit, relax, and enjoy nature. Convert one corner of your backyard into an outdoor kitchen to get ready for warm-weather cookouts and entertaining. Configuring the kitchen along the corner of the yard will help you maximize the available space. You can even turn the kitchen into a mini garden with built-in planters along the top of the backsplash for growing herbs, flowers, or other small plants. Corner rock garden ideas, like this Japanese rock garden, allow you to add color and texture to your yard, while minimizing necessary maintenance and care.

5 Garden Plans for Solving Your Yard's Most Challenging Problems.
If your yard is sloped, you can add tiered retaining walls to create flat and usable space where you can put comfortable Adirondack chairs or other outdoor seating options. The retaining walls can even double as small gardens, allowing you to add more greenery to the space. Those looking for backyard corner landscaping ideas can also consider building a raised garden bed with a stone border. The natural stone color will offer a nice contrast against the green grass and colors of flowers and plants that you add to the garden.
If you’re looking for corner flower bed ideas, consider making things even more interesting with a water feature. Leave a few feet of garden space along the edges of a fence in the backyard, then add a square pond, surrounded by rocks, for a streamlined look with the 90-degree corner of the fence. If you have a spacious backyard and want to grow more of your own foods, turn one corner of your yard into a vegetable garden. Adding a fence around the garden will not only help keep unwanted pests away from your plants, but it will also help to clearly define the space.
Additionally, many gardeners find wrought-iron edging attractive and appreciate the classy touch it brings to a garden. Sign up to receive the weekly newsletter from our sister site, Garden Design! You’ll join thousands of design-conscious readers to get gardening inspiration and innovative design solutions for enjoying outdoor spaces. The front yard must wrap around one corner of the house and extend down the side. Greater streetside exposure of corner lots leads to traffic noise. This is doubly problematic if there's a street light or stop sign.
If you have a sloped yard and need corner patio ideas, consider having stone retaining walls built. They’ll do much more than simply prevent erosion—they can also add charm to your outdoor space. Once installed, plant some lush greenery on the walls, and add some additional planters along their base for a truly impressive finished product. This two-tiered raised garden bed available at The Home Depot is perfectly shaped for a corner garden. With its L-shaped design, the bed has a taller center tier with two shorter tiers extending out from two of its sides.

Make a multi-tiered fountain the focal point of your corner garden. Plant taller trees or bushes along the back edges of the garden, and surround the fountain with smaller plants or flowers.
There’s no shortage of world-famous hotels in Los Angeles, California—The Beverly Hills Hotel, The Roosevelt, The Chateau Marmont…Echo Mountain House. Well, unless you’re a time-traveler or a regular on Southern California hiking trails you probably haven’t heard of that last one.

Whether you’re summiting a mountain, preparing for a storm, or just trying to survive a hectic schedule, Mountain House promises to keep you fed in 10 minutes or less.

In the early 1990s, the site was placed on the National Register of Historic Places with a handful of artifacts to help transport you back to the turn of the century. If you’re thinking of visiting, however, make sure you leave your petticoats and cravats behind as you’ll be relying on your own two feet to get you there. The hike (via the Sam Merill Trail) starts in Altadena at the Cobb Estate (another seemingly cursed Southern California structure, but that’s a story for a different time). It’s a moderately difficult 5 and a half mile hike round trip with little cover, so make sure you bring plenty of water if it’s a warm day (or even if it’s not that warm, hydration is important!). It was in 1968 that folk singer Joni Mitchell fell madly in love with this small wooden cottage lost in the vegetation of the Hollywood hills.

Some dishes require as many as 20 spices, with a rainbow of peppercorns imported from Sichuan for the job. La-zi chicken, another Szechuan Mountain House specialty, marinates its diced chicken and deep-fries then stir-fries it with a small mountain of dried peppers, peppercorns and sesame.

But experts said surface water restrictions, like the one Mountain House faces, show just how bad the drought has become in its fourth year. The effects of the drought have been acutely felt across the Central Valley in places such as East Porterville, where groundwater levels have plummeted and wells and faucets have run dry. Still, officials in the town near Tracy say that millions of dollars in landscaping and thousands of acres of crops are at risk.

In addition to newly focusing on catering, Kramer and Hymanson are planning multiple other Kismet Rotisserie locations, including one slated to open in Culver City this fall. After reopening her celebrated porridge-based restaurant last month, chef Minh Phan decided to close Porridge + Puffs after all. The Historic Filipinotown restaurant opened in 2018 but began years prior as a pop-up. Jonathan Gold called Phan’s porridge bowls colored with pickles, jammy eggs, flowers and other culinary delights “as dazzling in its complexity as anything coming out of the most famous kitchens in town.” After a pandemic-spurred closure in 2021, Phan reopened the restaurant this year.

In the late 19th century, Thaddeus Lowe established the railroad just north of Los Angeles as a way for tourists to easily ascend the San Gabriel Mountains. The railway welcomed its first passengers on the Fourth of July in 1893. Then, in the fall of 1894, the Echo Mountain House, located at the summit, opened its doors. It was a luxury hotel said to rival San Diego’s Hotel del Coronado, with 80 rooms as well as amenities such as a dance hall, a casino, and a zoo. There was also a telescope and observatory as Lowe was very interested in astronomy and even brought on esteemed astronomer Dr. Lewis Swift, who would discover nearly 100 nebulae from the site’s observatory.
The master-planned community Mountain House is at risk of losing its water supply. About 160 local farmers are also affected by the curtailment order. “It feels really satisfying to be growing the company the way we want to be growing it,” Kramer said.

The government realized that the railroad was on federal land and hadn’t been built with a proper lease. Then, in 1900, Echo Mountain House—dubbed “The White City in the Sky”—caught fire. No guests or staff were injured, and the hotel might have staged a comeback if it had been appropriately insured. Reportedly, it had only been insured for one-fifth of the damage that the fire caused.

So don’t think you’re going to be able to enjoy it while sailing. Still, for the most part you aren’t under any clearly defined limit. That said, don’t expect to continue to be served if you are showing signs of dangerous levels of intoxication. The cruise lines want you to relax, enjoy yourself, and have a good time, but not at the expense of your health or the well-being of other passengers.
Here's when you should buy a cruise line drink package - TheStreet
Here's when you should buy a cruise line drink package.
Consider the pros and cons of doing so, and the possible repercussions if you get caught. While cruise ship staff may check suitcases and carry-on luggage more closely than they might on other trips, personal hygiene items are often overlooked. When sneaking alcohol on a cruise, it is important to pack it in a way that will avoid raising suspicions among the security officers. In most cases, there will be explicit restrictions on bringing alcohol onto the ship, including limits on quantities and types of beverages that are allowed. However, it’s important to be aware of possible consequences and respect the legal drinking age of the country you’re in.
What to Expect with Alcoholic Drinks on Your Cruise Ship
No alcohol can be brought on board at embarkation on MSC cruises, and anything purchased in port or at the duty-free shop will be held until the end of the cruise. With all that in mind, here is a line-by-line rundown of cruise line policies for bringing your own alcohol on ships. The rules for bringing your own alcohol generally apply to passengers 21 and older. Most cruise lines allow room tabs you can pay off in increments throughout your journey or in one big, jaw-dropping, cringeworthy sum upon return to your home port.
In fact, there are bound to be brands you’ve never tasted or even heard of before, in addition to well-known names. For more on cruises and drinking ages, you can see our article here. To keep things simple, ships sailing from the United States have a drinking age of 21 years old.
Liquor In Wine Bottle Cruise Hack
Sneaking alcohol on your body is the riskiest way to do it. You’ll have to remove any bulky items and walk through an X-ray scanner. If it beeps for any reason (including for a random check), then you’ll be patted down, and your stash will be discovered, no matter how well it’s disguised.
Are drink packages on cruise ships really unlimited?
So what people do is they put one bottle of wine in their checked luggage and another in their carry-on bag. The best way to sneak alcohol on a cruise depends somewhat on the type of booze you wish to conceal (vodka is easier to hide than beer) and how much of it you want to bring. Sure, although some lines have rules if you have the drink package. If you don’t have the package, then it’s not a big deal to order multiple drinks at once.
Ships sailing from points in Europe, Asia, and Australia typically have a drinking age of 18 years old. Before you buy a package, however, there are lots of things to know. For example, if one adult in the cabin buys the package, then all adults normally have to purchase it as well. And if you purchase, you have to buy the package for every day of the cruise. Cruise ships will have tons of options, including some like Carnival that even brew their own beer to sell.
Many cruisers use old clothing, such as socks or blankets, to cushion their booze and provide padding for delicate items such as glass bottles. Additionally, avoid buying large quantities of liquor as they will come in glass bottles that may lead to suspicion from security officers. Before attempting to sneak alcohol on a cruise, it is important to first research the policies of the particular cruise line. All cruise lines have their own set of rules and regulations which determine guest conduct. You are free to bring spirits, wine and Champagne on board.
Either way, booze prices on cruises can hit you right where it hurts the most — your wallet. However… If you’ve ever been on a cruise, there’s one downside you probably remember all too clearly. It’s where the big-name brands make their money at the expense of holidaymakers who may be traveling on a budget or simply don’t feel like spending $20 on a cocktail.
