The Living Building Challenge is one tough building standard, probably the toughest in the world. There have not been a lot of buildings completed that have made it through, and Desert Rain is the first residential project to get certified. It has taken almost a decade since Thomas and Barbara Elliot decided to build an “extreme green dream home” and they have been living in it since 2013, but with the LBC you have to prove performance for a year:...

The way babies and toddlers play, it is a wonder they are healthy for one day in their little lives. Everything – from dust particles to dog food to corners of books – goes into their mouths. They also drool constantly, pick their noses, touch public surfaces and engage in various other questionable behaviors. It’s no wonder, then, that their toys are riddled with germs. How best to clean baby toys in order to keep their little owners as healthy as possible?...

Does your yard have a hard-to-mow slope? Or, if you have a postage-stamp lawn, have you wondered about eliminating that tiny patch of grass? Or, would you just like to add a fun landscape feature that would be a conversation piece? There’s a single solution to each of these questions, and the solution is mostly maintenance-free, time- and budget-friendly: Create a rock garden. “Rock gardening is a style of gardening inspired by what you might see on the top of a mountain where you have a silty rocky landscape and very distinctive small and compact plants,” says Joseph Tychonievich, a lifelong gardener and plant lover whom Organic Gardening magazine recently named one of “six young horticulturists who are helping to shape how America gardens....

The anticipation is high for Zack Snyder’s Justice League, especially after the barrage of tidbits and promotion that surfaced in the past days. This was due to the game-changing reveal that the project will officially arrive on HBO Max on March 18, meaning that the debut of the much-talked-about cut will happen in just a matter of weeks. It’s no secret that the Snyder Cut will be vastly different from the much-maligned theatrical film that premiered back in 2017....

At long last, London has been blessed with a proper museum exhibition dedicated to the Great Stink of 1858, a foul yet history-changing event involving a heat wave and the “hideous stench of human excrement." And the venue for said museum exhibition couldn’t be more apropos: Crossness Pumping Station, the same ornate — and at the time of its completion, exceptionally state-of-the-art — pumping station erected to rid London of its noxious stink by carrying untreated sewage away from the city before unloading it into the River Thames, which, at the time, was the main source of the city’s drinking water....

According to insiders, layoffs have hit Marvel Studios, leaving the future of Marvel Studios Animation in limbo. The animation team assembled at Marvel Studios hasn’t been as front and center as it should be in the future (having only released What If…? and I Am Groot up to this point), but it has been working away in the background on plenty of MCU content including, What If…? Season 2, Marvel Zombies, and Spider-Man: Freshman Year....

Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight was an MCU project like no other. While it’s true that the hero had an impressive costume and possessed unique abilities, Moon Knight was a complex character study first and foremost, and masterfully performed by Oscar Isaac. But even though Moon Knight had few connections to the hero’s Marvel counterparts, it’s unlikely to stay that way for long. In addition to rumors of a second season for the series, fans are already speculating about future Moon Knight crossovers and where and when the character may appear next....

The other day I was taking my puppy for a quick lunchtime stroll around the neighborhood when I noticed a loose dog. Fortunately, I saw him before they saw each other. I turned around and darted into a cul de sac where we would be out of sight. But then I was stuck. I kept peeking and the dog was just meandering from bush to pole to garbage can. We were in the back of the subdivision and the only way home was to walk past him....

The upcoming film, which is being directed by Nia DaCosta, will add Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan from the upcoming Ms. Marvel series, and Teyonah Paris’ Monica Rambeau after her debut in WandaVision. In the Scarlet Witch spin-off series, Rambeau’s attitude towards Captain Marvel revealed that the two may not be on the best of terms anymore, especially after Monica came back from The Blip only to discover her mother, a close friend of Carol Danvers, passed away during the five-year time gap....
