Jeff Leatham Creates an Orchid-Filled Wonderland at the New York Botanical Garden
The dazzling exhibition, part of the NYBG’s annual orchid show, features an array of colorful blooms
Immediately through the doors of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG), an arresting structure dripping with richly colored vanda orchids surrounds one of floral designer Jeff Leatham’s signature faceted sculptures. It’s a wow moment for sure and a perfect introduction to Leatham’s latest living art installation, entitled “Kaleidoscope,” part of the NYBG’s 18th annual orchid show.
“I’m not just a guy that works with flowers—I love art, I love creating, painting, sculpture work,” Leatham says of the mirrored Vanda coerulea creation made in collaboration with Paris artist Michel Amann for the exhibit. “That’s the first time we made one that’s not an animal and the first water-feature sculpture. We really wanted to get them at hello, and I feel like that’s what we did.”
Also on view in the opening gallery is a spotted deep plum vanda named after Leatham, who also serves as artistic director of the Four Season Hotel George V in Paris. (In fact, the designer is so enamored of orchids, which he describes as “passionate and sexy,” that he has one tattooed on his calf.) It’s just one of the 7,000 orchid varieties in the NYBG’s extensive collection, all of which are on view during the extravaganza. Among the standout blooms are a caterpillar-like “toothbrush” orchid (Dendrobium secundum), a bird-head-shaped hanging variety that smells like a corpse (Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis), and a slow-growing mustard-yellow specimen that’s been in the collection for over a century (Vandopsis gigantea). The garden also houses over a million living plants from around the world, including Nepal, the Philippines, and Mexico.
For the subsequent galleries, Leatham worked with the NYBG’s curator of the orchid collection, Marc Hachadourian, to create other dazzling arrays, like “Rise and Shine,” a series of blossom-filled ombré arches that fade from pale yellow to red. “Part of this is not just about the color but also the fragrance and getting that full sensory experience of the exhibition as you move through,” says Hachadourian.
Building on the kaleidoscope theme are other colorful moments, like towering bamboo posts painted sherbet orange or Yves Klein blue that dot a desert display, a pavilion for miniature orchids that has been coated a jubilant berry shade, or what will surely be one of the most Instagram-worthy moments: a tunnel of corrugated metal awash in waves of rainbow light.
“I think this really shows what my work is,” explains Leatham of the exhibition. “It’s about bold stripes of color. It’s about a mass of flowers together. It’s about creating an experience that makes people gasp. Every corner you turn, every pathway you go down, you see all the different varieties of orchids and the textures, the shape of their mouths, their heads, and the plant itself. It really is an exploration of texture, color, and design.”
Next up, Leatham is launching a new collection with Waterford at Bloomingdale’s and, come May, is releasing a fragrance, Botanica, followed by a rose scent in fall.
“The Orchid Show: Jeff Leatham’s Kaleidoscope” is on view February 15–April 19 at the New York Botanical Garden.

Rwanda was quick to respond to the opportunity the Global Fund presented to strengthen its health system
The Global Fund has recognized the importance of health systems in the response to the three pandemics since its inception, but building resilient and sustainable systems for health became a strategic pillar in the Global Fund's 2017-2022 strategy "Investing to End Epidemics".
The simultaneous release of evaluation and audit reports on Global Fund investments to build resilient and sustainable systems, by the Technical Review Panel and the Office of the Inspector General, presents an opportunity to examine how some countries have relied on the Global Fund and quickly seized the funding opportunity to strengthen their health systems' response to the three pandemics. In this respect, looking at Rwanda's experience over the last twenty years offers several lessons, which have been widely documented in scientific literature. (Editor's note: Because this is a literature review, we have included endnotes in the text.)
Positive developments in the Rwandan health system over 20 years
Following the genocide against the Tutsis in 1994, Rwanda implemented major reforms in the late 1990s and early 2000s to rebuild and strengthen its health system, particularly with a view to achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and later the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These first reforms included decentralizing health services, introducing performance-based financing and creating community-based health insurance (1). Then came the extension of the community health program in 2007, culminating in 2009, in having four community health workers trained in every village in the country. Between 2010 and 2015, these reforms enabled better coverage of the population, especially in rural areas, and improvements in the overall quality of services (2). They also produced positive, tangible results, especially in the area of HIV/AIDS (3): a decrease in AIDS-related deaths of around 80%, achievement of UNAIDS targets for universal prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) and antiretroviral treatment coverage (4). At the same time, coverage by the national health insurance scheme exceeded 90% (5).
One factor that is regularly cited to explain this success is that of Rwandan governance and leadership which, beyond proactive health sector reforms, has led to a desire to align external aid to government policy. Therefore, support from external donors has enabled initiatives such as health insurance and results-based financing. The relationship between Rwanda and the Global Fund and the synergies created between Rwanda's HIV program and its health sector provide a good illustration of this approach.
Decision to integrate Global Fund-supported programs into Rwandan health sector
Rwanda's relationship with the Global Fund was characterized early on by Rwanda's desire to integrate HIV, tuberculosis and malaria-specific interventions into efforts to strengthen primary health care, to provide people with equal access to health services and to strengthen the health system.
In 2002, however, an influx of funds targeted for the fight against HIV (from the World Bank, Global Fund, PEPFAR) initially resulted in a duplication of services, with different approaches being used and difficulties experienced in monitoring the activities being implemented. Some partners were also reporting the results of their activities directly to donors without going through national channels. This situation led to the need for better coordination, culminating in the establishment of a technical coordination team in 2005, led by the Ministry of Health and comprising technical partners and non-governmental organizations. In 2005 this team deployed an electronic reporting system called TRACnet, enabling monthly reporting on a set of health indicators through a centralized database to better monitor the different activities being implemented to respond to HIV (1).
With its new will to improve coordination of funding, Rwanda has found, in the Global Fund, a partner open to funding interventions that extend beyond the three pandemics. Rwanda's HIV program was quickly characterized by efforts to integrate not only HIV-related prevention and control but also related issues, such as tuberculosis, malnutrition, and systems strengthening (5).
At the decentralized level, vertical funds from the Global Fund and PEPFAR have been used to rehabilitate health infrastructure and to set up treatment platforms in rural areas that have gradually been used to strengthen primary health care. Despite some fears, integration of HIV services with primary health care has not led to a decline in the provision of primary-care services. A study on integrating HIV services into primary health care (6) even shows that this approach has had a catalytic effect and has led as much to an increase in the provision of reproductive health services as to greater use of care platforms overall.
Similarly, at the national level, the strengthened procurement and supply chain for ARVs was then used for other types of drugs. The information systems created to monitor HIV treatment have been adapted to monitor other treatments. Health workers in maternity wards were trained as part of PMTCT programs and delivered babies regardless of the mother's HIV status (3).
Global Fund support to health insurance and results-based financing
The Global Fund's support to Rwanda's health system was also delivered more directly through a $34-million, five-year grant in 2006, to scale up the community-based health insurance system, which until then had been tested in three regions. Establishing health insurance is one of the key reforms of the Rwandan health sector. It is important to note that this grant was one of the first provided by the Global Fund for health system strengthening (alongside Laos and Malawi). The purpose of this grant was to strengthen financial access to health care by subsidizing health insurance for the poorest, in order to respond to the three diseases. This objective was achieved by the end of the grant - improved financial access led to increased use of health services, and as a result improved health among the population.
Global Fund funding also contributed to the roll out of the results-based financing system at the community and hospital levels, another major feature of the Rwandan health system. Implementation of results-based financing in Rwanda demonstrates the government's political will. There are many publications on the subject, but they are divided on the role that this funding mechanism has played as a strategic tool to reform the health system and respond appropriately to the needs of communities and patients. However, it is clear that the system has improved the availability of health care providers (including community health workers ) and operations within some health facilities, even if a clear link cannot be made with structural and overall health system improvements (11). In addition, the HIV program has particularly benefited from the implementation of results-based financing through Global Fund support to the system, as the selected indicators fit with the HIV care continuum (number of new adults and infants on ARVs, number of HIV-positive pregnant women on antiretroviral therapy, number of HIV-positive patients receiving a CD4-count test in line with national guidelines) (1). Since 2014, Rwanda has been the only major Global Fund portfolio that has been subject to a results-based financing model (called National Strategy Financing).
Management of external aid grants and domestic budgets
Rwanda's strong political will and donors' willingness to coordinate have also been reflected in the way in which external assistance is mobilized. As of 2010, 58.4% of foreign aid to Rwanda went through the national system. For HIV, in 2011, coordination mechanisms were integrated with other disease programs into a project implementation unit of the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) in order to facilitate program integration. Since then, Global Fund funding has been managed by the Ministry of Health in its role as Principal Recipient, and the Rwanda Biomedical Center as a sub-recipient and lead implementing partner. All health sector funding from external development assistance (Global Fund; World Bank; Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance; bilateral cooperation) now goes through this single project implementation unit.
In addition to centralizing funding management, Rwanda's success in using external aid is intrinsically linked to mobilizing complementary national resources. The increase in external aid has not had a crowding-out effect on government investments and has been positively linked to the provision of maternal and child health, and infectious-disease services in rural health centers. Since 2016-2017, the government has allocated 16.5% of its budget to health (in line with the 2001 Abuja Declaration, in which African Union member states pledged to dedicate 15% of their national budget to health) and the country has also met its counterpart financing obligations in accordance with Global Fund policy (13).
Global Fund financing to Rwanda for the 2017-2019 cycle
Since 2003, the Global Fund has invested approximately $1.4 billion in Rwanda. $210 million is currently committed through active grants. Despite a continued reduction in Global Fund funding (down 30% for the last cycle), Rwanda continues to deliver the expected (targeted) results within its grants. This is probably linked to the country's unique funding model, which is funding the national strategy. Under this model, the country consolidates and allocates all public funding and grants from the Global Fund to national strategic plans to combat the three diseases in Rwanda (13). According to an independent evaluation by Euro Health Group, this approach to funding the national strategy has improved grant effectiveness, and has produced both good results and cost-effectiveness. It is an essential component of program sustainability in the country. Given the success of this model, there are plans to test it in other countries that meet the criteria necessary for its implementation.
Is Rwanda a replicable example?
Improvements in Rwanda's health system are linked, in part, to several internal factors. One such factor is the decentralization of health services to increase health coverage, which has most likely benefited from the fact that Rwanda is a small country with a population that speaks the same language (1). Several qualitative studies have also found that processes and mechanisms for promoting accountability at different levels of the health pyramid (an important factor for a system based on results-based financing) have relied on traditional Rwandan culture, with its central values of being an "integrated and inclusive society" (8). In addition, there are certainly many other reasons behind the positive dynamics of the Rwandan health system, even if the existence of community health workers and health insurance are regularly cited among the factors that have contributed most to improving health outcomes (2).
Still, it is possible to draw from the Rwandan example a sense of the will to coordinate the various external resources going to programs to strengthen the health system as a whole, made possible by strong leadership (1). This has allowed for gradual integration of various donor-funded initiatives, including the Global Fund, into national funding channels and the transfer of responsibility, backed up by national resources committed for capacity building, which is fundamental to the long-term sustainability of health system improvements (8). Integration has not been detrimental to pandemics control programs, but has had a catalytic effect, which has improved results in the HIV, tuberculosis and malaria responses, in particular (1).

Maketory Youtube Channel – Steering Wheel Time Lapse:
MAKETORY MEMBER – JOE CRAVER
ABOUT THE MEMBER
I started my journey in guitar making when I attended the Galloup School of Guitar Building and Repair in Michigan. After graduating I worked as an apprentice for master luthier Tom Ribbecke in Healdsburg, CA where I learned to make handmade archtop guitars and other acoustic instruments. After working as an apprentice for three years it was time to embark on my own as a tradesman and I worked briefly as an instrument repair professional until I discovered Maketory and decided it would be a perfect starting place to start a business. Currently I’m working on an electric guitar called the California, which is inspired by California-made guitars from the 1950s and I’m utilizing the CNC router to develop it so that I can produce them out of any materials that a client may want. Maker’s collectives have played a big role in providing me with a friendly space to work on instruments and get inspired by other craftspeople. Maketory is the most comprehensive and versatile set-up I’ve experienced and having the ability to have my own space is perfect for what I’m doing and plan to do in the future.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR WORK AND HOW YOU GOT STARTED?
I started building guitars in 2015. I was living in Florida and wanted to be a tattoo artist, but I never found an apprenticeship. So I started wondering what other things I could do that would involve working with my hands and learning a traditional skill. I ended up finding a school in Michigan for lutherie (the tradition of building stringed instruments) called the Galloup School of Guitar Building and Repair and I attended a six-month course there, which was my introduction to using tools and working with wood. After that, I got an apprenticeship with a master luthier named Tom Ribbecke in Sonoma County and I spent three years working under him, where I learned how to build archtop guitars (an acoustic guitar with an arched top carved from solid wood that is preferred by jazz musicians). These days I make mostly solid-body electric guitars but plan to eventually get back into making acoustic instruments and expanding my instrument repair skills. I’ve also expanded my skills into other areas of woodworking and more recently working with metal. I rent a private space at Maketory and made my first workbench for that space, and I’ve recently got into making parts for vintage cars such as steering wheels, shift knobs and window blinds.
WHAT ROLE DOES MAKETORY PLAY IN YOUR WORKFLOW AND HAS IT BENEFITED YOU?
Maketory has been extremely helpful for my workflow because everything I need in order to build guitars in one place – I have my private workspace which I use to set-up and repair guitars as well as store my personal tools and supplies, and within walking distance is a woodshop with all the machinery I need, a metal shop where I can make my own metal parts rather than buying hardware from other sources, a spray booth where I can do my own finishes (something a lot of guitar builders outsource), plenty of assembly areas where I can put together things to large to make in my personal space like jigs, and lots of other Maketory members to get inspiration and advice from. It would be a challenge to make guitars anywhere else because it requires an immense variety of equipment which I could never afford on my own. I would have to cut a lot of corners such as outsourcing my finishing and using pre-made parts. But since I have access to a lot of machinery at Maketory, I’m able to make a guitar that is 100% my own design.
HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED AT MAKETORY AND DO YOU HAVE ADVICE FOR OTHERS LOOKING TO START?
I got involved at Maketory early on because after a tour of the shop I knew it would be the perfect place to start my own guitar brand and I knew it would give me the ability to learn other skills and machines that I hadn’t previously had experience with. My advice for others would be to get out of your comfort zone, take classes you might think you’re not interested in and learn to use machines that you don’t think you need to use because it can add a new element to what you are making. For instance, I learned to use the waterjet to make a steering wheel and I’m now beginning to understand metallurgy and how different metals can be used in guitar making. And I learned to use the lathe which is a tool I’ve always found intimidating. But now that I know how to use it, when a machine I need to use to make guitars is occupied, I have something to work on and within a few hours have something to sell.

Duncan from Maine Wins the 2020 Puppy Bowl
Duncan, a 20-week-old Collie representing Portland on Team Fluff for Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl XVI, is the winner!
Duncan had a rough start, and according to NewCenter Maine, was one of more than 80 animals rescued by The Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland (ARLGP) in back in the summer of 2019.
This is Duncan right after he was brought into the ARLGP
He has since been adopted and lives very happily with his forever family in Scarborough.
Animal Planet announced the winner on Twitter:
It's not the first time a Maine dog has been in the Puppy Bowl, but it does appear it's the first time a Maine dog has won it all! Too bad the Patriots didn't win, that would have been a nice combo!
Duncan was a starter for "Team Fluff" in New York City. He is now the proud owner of Chewy "Lombarky" Trophy.

Storms hit area with fury
Tribune News Staff
Area residents headed for cover Sunday night as a strong thunderstorm, with the spotting of one tornado made a Memorial Day weekend interesting for residents and local authorities alike.
As heavy winds moved into the Tri-Cities area late Sunday afternoon, the winds brought unstable air into the area, causing problems all afternoon. As nightfall approached, a strong line of thunderstorms, with winds in excess of 70 mph went through Poinsett County, hitting towns like Weiner and Waldenburg along the path. The Memphis office of the National Weather Service reported Tuesday that a thunderstorm, with wind damage caused power lines and trees to fall down on Ark. 49, near Weiner. The NWS also reported that a trained tornado spotter spotted a tornado, three miles west of Marked Tree, along Ark. 140 at 8:45 p.m.
Within minutes of receiving word of the storm, area residents found cover at various tornado safe rooms in the area, using both safe rooms in Lepanto and Tyronza. Residents spent most of Monday cleaning up the mess from Sunday night's storm. While areas near Lepanto, Marked Tree and Tyronza had little tree or property damage, most of the outlying areas in Poinsett County received some damage. Poinsett County Sheriff Larry Mills told the Tri-City Tribune that there was some property damage at Poinsett Rice and Grain in Waldenburg, with trees down in the Central area near Trumann and a tree hitting a trailer on Pritchett Road near Lepanto. Also, there was damage to several power lines along Ark. 135 between Lepanto and Tyronza as one pole was snapped into by the force of the winds.
The storm, which left the area Sunday night traveled into western Tennessee and southeastern Missouri late Sunday night.
