Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan

white house press briefing

"Look, I don't have a crystal ball to predict the future, but the President's national security adviser is General McMaster. He is a valued member of the President's team and an important part of this process," Sanders said. In addition to getting Americans their boosters, vaccination requirements are driving more and more people to get their first shot. In fact, just across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we got 3 million booster shots into arms — a million booster shots per day. Now, if you look at this again — I want to show it because the results in that same study are really dramatic.

And as President, you know, as Commander-in-Chief, where he sits right now, behind that Resolute Desk, and what he understands, it’s important to speak out. And he understands that, as a leader in this country, that when we see this type of antisemitic hate, this type of antisemitic vile — vile, we have to be very clear. As it relates to the bill — the law now — there’s time. There are already American investors who are — who are willing and are interested in buying TikTok.

Russia is going to continue to press its attacks against Ukrainian defenses. But for the reasons that I have laid out, over time, we assess that Ukraine’s position in this conflict will improve, and we believe that Ukraine can and will win. 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.

At the same time, Biden has faced increasing pressure from young voters and the left flank of his party over his unwavering support of Israel's war in Gaza following the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. President Joe Biden this week called on Americans to speak out against the "alarming surge of antisemitism" in the U.S. following pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked Columbia University and other colleges and universities. Protests over Israel's war in Gaza continued Friday on major college campuses across the U.S. The student, Khymani James, says in a video taken in January, "Zionists don’t deserve to live” and “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists." James refers to Zionists as "supporters of genocide." And we encourage organizations around the country to adopt similar measures to keep their workers safe.

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

Foreign aid passes: How the delay in funding affected Ukraine and Israel wars

Even in our updated data, unvaccinated people are at 14 times greater risk of dying from COVID-19 than people who are vaccinated. While the actions of the FDA and CDC represent an important step forward in our vaccination program, we are not losing sight of the goal to vaccinate all who are eligible with their primary vaccine series. Forty-seven million eligible American adults and more than twelve million teens are still not fully vaccinated and remain at highest risk of disease. And what the President wants to do is give the middle class a break. And you — you’ve seen that from his legis- — from legislation that’s been passed and trying to — and trying to make sure that we do not leave communities behind, communities have been behind — left behind for decades now. And so, that’s what we’re going to keep saying, keep calling on.

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan

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

And — and we’ll let the universities handle that process on how they’re — how they’re dealing on the ground. And, of course, in the immediate aftermath of it, he picked up the phone and called Bibi Netanyahu. And what we have seen since then, as I was speaking about before with respect to the provision and facilitation of humanitarian assistance, has been a significant difference.

Universal Studios tram accident leaves at least 15 injured

For months, we’ve been working with governors, pharmacies, community health centers, and other partners to plan for this moment. Another study — now from Brazil, South Africa, and United States with cumulative data of 10,000 participants. And, again, in the two-month interim analysis, the efficacy against symptomatic disease in those who received the third dose versus the second dose was 95.6 percent. This is an Israeli study that has looked at individuals who — after their second dose compare to their third dose.

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

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

And I think the message that that sends is that, at the end of the day, when push comes to shove, the United States is going to be there with the resources necessary for Ukraine. We also received a series of commitments from the Israeli government with respect to the facilitation of humanitarian assistance. And despite the challenges that I’ve just described, I think it is very important for us to underscore that as we look ahead to the rest of 2024, our view is that Ukraine retains key advantages in this fight. Uk- — Ukraine can and will prevail, and that will be thanks to the bravery of its people but also the support of its friends.

That goes to show you how closely they are following the — the U.S. Congress, because it means the difference between having them — the tools they need to put up that fight effectively and not having those tools. But I think really what this weekend showed is that, at the end of the day, despite substantial effort by a lot of parties, including the Russians, to figure out a way to not have this bill pass, it has passed.

But when we’re talking about hateful rhetoric, when we’re talking about violence, we have to call that out. There’s time — there’s time — there’s certainly time on the books to see how this plays out. But we’ll stay in close touch not just with the Israelis, but with the United Nations. In fact, on a daily basis, at senior levels, we’re talking to the U.N.

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

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

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

That means everyone over 18 years of age is eligible to get boosted. So, if you’re 18 years and older, I encourage you to go get boosted. The President earlier today said the 2017 tax bill that was passed under President Trump — if he is reelected — if President Biden is reelected, it would be dead and gone forever.

John Herbst on President Zelensky's U.S. Visit and the Russia-Ukraine Conflict

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

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

White House: Maximum pressure campaign on North Korea "has clearly been effective"

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

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

Foreign aid passes: How the delay in funding affected Ukraine and Israel wars

And it would have addressed a lot of the concerns that Republicans have that we’re seeing — the challenges that we’re seeing at the border. 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. We sh- — we believe in First Amendment rights, right? We believe in people being able to express themselves in a peaceful manner.

Background Press Call by Senior Administration Officials on Iran’s Attacks Against the State of Israel

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

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

I am wondering about vaccines for the 5- to 11-year-olds and whether you have any sense of trends yet at this point how it compares to other vaccine rollouts or the older adolescent vaccines. But just as you note, one extra layer of protection that you might take is to take a rapid test before you gather together. For example, we have 98 percent compliance at the IRS, with nearly 25 percent of IRS employees getting vaccinated after the President announced the requirement. But still, overall, when looking at hospitalization rates, unvaccinated adults had nine times higher rate of hospitalizations than vaccinated adults.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A graphic designer should not only be creative, they should also be able to explain why their designs are effective. Articulating what makes a visual design cohesive, eye-catching, and engaging is imperative. There is a delicate balance between a designer’s job to “sell” the team on their ideas and producing what the client wants. You’ll want to explore your candidate’s creative process and work style to determine team compatibility and culture fit. For instance, they may like to sketch and brainstorm in a group setting or need independent work time to develop and refine concepts before presenting them to the team.

Additionally, knowing the steps involved in design helps you set realistic timelines and expectations. You’ll understand that good design takes time, and you’ll be less likely to rush the process or expect instant results from initial concepts. You retain full copyright of all unsold work, which you’re free to use any way you see fit. We encourage you to add your winning and non-winning entries to your portfolio to increase visibility and connect with prospective clients. Push your creative limits by competing in Design Contests with other designers in our community who challenge you. Just keep in mind that regardless of the pricing structure you choose to go with, figuring out your hourly rate is the first step in knowing how much you should be charging clients for fixed-rate projects as well.

Next, figure out how much of a safety net you need before going full-time freelance. The general rule of thumb is to put away six months to a year’s worth in savings, but that may vary depending on your exact situation. You can always consult a financial advisor to help figure that out if you’re uncertain. Discuss ideas, project details and pricing with the designer you choose.

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

If so, there’s a good chance you’ll thrive as a freelancer. Get the perfect design for your budget from our creative community.

Inside Ernest Hemingway's Key West Home and How It Inspired Many of His Famous Writings

hemingway house

The Pfeiffers, a wealthy couple from St. Louis, Missouri, moved to Piggott in 1913. Paul purchased the home from the builder and made extensive modifications to satisfy his wife, who was hesitant about the move. When Ernest Hemingway left Paris with his second wife, Pauline Pfeiffer, they eventually went to the home of her parents, Paul and Mary Pfeiffer in Piggott, Arkansas.

Star athlete, addict, prisoner, journalist: A memoirist on her story and her mission

Built in 1851 by the owner of a local ship salvage company, the house sat on one of the largest private lots in the city, and, thanks to its high elevation and sturdy construction, could withstand even the fiercest of storms. In the fall of 1921, he married Hadley Richardson, eight years his senior, and, on the advice of friends, the couple moved to Paris later that year. The Hemingways quickly became part of a group of American expatriates who poured into the French capital in the decade after WWI, including F.

More Florida Keys Attractions and Travel Guides

When Hemingway moved from Paris to Key West in the mid-1920s on the advice of fellow writer John Dos Passos, he was a well-known author but not yet a legend. The house was given to him by the uncle of his second wife; at the time, Hemingway probably could not have afforded to purchase it himself. One of the more stunning and unusual features of the Hemingway Home property is the in-ground swimming pool, an extraordinary luxury for a residential home in 1930s Key West. Even more mind-boggling is the sheer labor of digging, in solid coral, a massive hole 24 feet wide, 60 feet long, 10 feet deep at the south end, and 5 feet deep at the north end. The Hemingway pool—the only one within 100 miles in the 1930s—was truly an architectural feat. Hemingway’s time at Finca Vigia long outlasted his brief, tempestuous marriage to Gellhorn.

Trips

He published seven novels, six short-story collections, and two non-fiction works. Three of his novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction works were published posthumously. Many of his works are considered classics of American literature. According to legend, a fellow sailor and ship captain gifted Hemingway with a male cat with six toes named Snow Ball. Polydactyl cats were popular among sailors for their both their rat-hunting skills and as a supposed source of good luck.

Some are descendants of the very first polydactyl cat Hemingway had all those decades ago. When his favorite bar closed down, Hemingway took one of the urinals and brought it home. It was the only pool within 100 miles of Key West, took a year and a half to install, and cost $20,000, an exorbitant sum in 1937. We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits.

“I wrote two-thirds of that book,” declares a still-fit Saunders, now 89. He enters the ramshackle bar he owns, Precious d’Paris, bare-chested but, seeing he has visitors, excuses himself to put on a clean shirt. Literary history generally concedes Ernest Hemingway beat up everybody he fought on this tiny island during the mid-1930s, when he fished, boozed, wrote and issued fighting challenges to the locals. Today, Finca Vigia is a museum where Pilar is on display atop the tennis courts with a walkway encircling her so visitors can view the interior.. The finished yacht cost $7500 and was brought to Key West and christened Pilar.

You're also free to poke around the house and grounds on your own. Hemingway’s affair with fellow journalist Pauline Pfeiffer led to the collapse of his marriage to Richardson and their divorce in 1927. He married Pfeiffer soon after, and the pair decided to return to America when she became pregnant with the first of their two sons. Writer and friend John Dos Passos recommended Key West, in the southern end of the Florida Keys. When they arrived in 1928, Hemingway was immediately enchanted. Located just 90 miles from Cuba, the region’s welcoming weather and laid-back, permissive atmosphere seemed tailor-made for Hemingway.

Using the salt-water pump, it took two to three days to completely fill the pool. During the summer months, the salt water would remain fresh for only about two to three days. Then the pool would need to be completely drained, another day or two would be required to scrub down and remove the algae and debris, and then the cycle would start again. And Ernest did complain mightily about the growing expenses of construction costs.

The boat had two motors - a 75hp for traveling and a 40hp for trolling. The photo above shows Hemingway atop that flying bridge as Pilar pulls out of Havana harbor. After Bernice’s death in the late 1980’s, the estate was passed onto her family who have kept the property open to visitors wanting to learn about the life of Ernest Hemingway. If you have the time, stop by the Hemingway House to see how an iconic author lived. See all the furniture, the old house, and the spacious grounds. It was in this ornate, Spanish-style house that Hemingway wrote his 1929 novel A Farewell to Arms, as well as parts of Death in the Afternoon, Green Hills of Africa, and For Whom the Bell Tolls.

Ernest and Pauline accepted the offer, and he resumed work on a war story he had started on the ocean passage to Key West. Hemingway continued his Paris habits of writing during the early mornings, and taking time to explore his surroundings in the afternoons. The Hemingways spent three weeks waiting for their car, and it was during this very brief three-week interlude that Ernest—amazingly—finished the partially autobiographical novel about the First World War, A Farewell To Arms. The couple lived on-and-off in Key West for several years (spending summers in Wyoming), before finally putting down more permanent roots in 1931. Pfeiffer found a house for sale at auction, and her uncle purchased it for $8,000 (approximately $134,00 today) as a belated wedding gift. Born in 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois, Hemingway grew up in a comfortable, but fractious, family.

Dubbed the “Lost Generation,” they wrote, painted and composed by day, and drank, debated and caroused the City of Lights by night. Ernest Hemingway’s house– Key West, FL known as the Ernest Hemingway Home & Museum, was the residence of author Ernest Hemingway in Key West, Florida, United States. This was Hemingway’s home from 1931 to 1939, he retained title to the home until he died.

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

Ernest Hemingway’s long-lost Los Angeles visit

Ernest Hemingway was a man who lived in many wonderful places, and traveled to many more. But the house on Whitehead Street in Key West was of particular importance, both in Hemingway’s personal life and in his literary development. In 1921, he married HadleyRichardson, the first of what would be four wives. The couple moved to Paris,where he worked as a foreign correspondent and fell under the influence of themodernist writers and artists of the 1920s “Lost Generation”expatriate community. After his 1927 divorce from Richardson, Hemingway married PaulinePfeiffer; they divorced after he returned from the Spanish Civil War, where hehad been a journalist. He based For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940) on hisexperience there.

Inside Ernest Hemingway's Key West Home and How It Inspired Many of His Famous Writings

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

Hemingway’s time in Key West inspired some of his most famous works

German actress Luise Rainer hosted a luncheon for him in the MGM commissary. Her countrywoman Salka Viertel had him over for show-and-tell with several influential friends at her Santa Monica Canyon house on Mabery Road. You may occasionally receive promotional content from the Los Angeles Times. But even the fishing prowess of Hemingway, who once boasted that he “changed the whole system” of fishing in Bimini, is disputed by some old-timers.

WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT ERNEST HEMINGWAY? NEW COMEDY SHOW TAKES ON A LEGEND - Florida Keys Weekly

WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT ERNEST HEMINGWAY? NEW COMEDY SHOW TAKES ON A LEGEND.

Posted: Fri, 15 Mar 2024 07:00:00 GMT [source]

Ernest Miller Hemingway (July 21, 1899 – July 2, 1961) was an American novelist, short story writer, and journalist. His economical and understated style—which he termed the Iceberg Theory—had a strong influence on 20th-century fiction, while his adventurous lifestyle and his public image brought him admiration from later generations. Hemingway produced most of his work between the mid-1920s and the mid-1950s, and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954.

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

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

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

Upcoming Quirky Travel Guy Trips

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

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

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

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

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

Other attendees confirm that her lover, Dashiell Hammett, picked a fight with Hemingway, calling him out for an inability to write memorable women. In addition to writing the picture, Hemingway caddied for Ivens across ravaged Spain and narrated it himself in a voice all the more effective for its icy understatement. “Every time Welles said the word ‘infantry,’ ” Hemingway grumbled, “it sounded like…” well, best leave it to the imagination (and Google) what it sounded like. Hemingway ran the film at the Ambassador Hotel for a starry crowd of 200 at $5 a well-coiffed head.

I may have left the Hemingway house thinking, “that was okay” but I bet someone who is a fan of Ernest Hemingway would connect more with the place. Still, I’m glad I visited since it’s such a notable property in Key West. The cats came to be when Ernest Hemingway was given a white six-toed cat by Captain Harold Stanley Dexter.

Long Island Seafood Restaurant Dockside Dining Freeport On The Water

catchers fish house

Catchers moves into a 2,000-square-foot corner space at the Charleston Festival retail hub, close to Torrey Pines Drive and previously occupied by shuttered dim sum restaurant ChiAm.

Best Seafood In Town

catchers fish house

But hope springs eternal on the Mile every other spring, this year at 301 Woodcleft, where the only constant seems to be the wrought-iron balconies and Bourbon Street décor of restaurants past. Is there anything more puzzling than dining on Freeport’s Nautical Mile?
