Heat health action plans
Europe has experienced several extreme summer heatwaves and continuous new records in terms of extreme temperatures since 2003, which have led to heat-related morbidity and mortality, reduced labour productivity and economic impacts. Heatwaves of a similar or larger magnitude are expected to increase in terms of frequency (AR5, 2013; Russo et al., 2014, EEA, No 1/2017), up to one every two years in the second half of the 21st century under a high emissions scenario (RCP 8.5).
In order to improve the public health response to extreme temperature and heatwaves, the EuroHEAT project has quantified the health effects of heat in cities in the WHO European Region and has identified options for improving the preparedness of health systems and their responses to protect health. The key message of the project is that heat threatens health and climate change is increasing heatwaves occurrence.
Health effects of hot weather can be prevented and public health strategies and measures can be adopted. Prevention requires a portfolio of actions at different levels, including: meteorological early warning systems, timely public and medical advice, health services targeted to particularly vulnerable groups, improvements to urban and built environment (e.g. improvement in housing and spatial planning) and ensuring that the health care and social systems are ready to take action. These actions can be integrated into a defined heat health action plan.
The following eight steps to build a heat health action plan were recommended by the EuroHEAT project:
Collaboration between bodies and institutions and identification of a lead body to coordinate responses;
Availability of accurate and timely alert systems;
Heat-related health information developed in advance;
Avoidance or reduction of heat exposure;
Particular care for vulnerable population groups;
Provision of health care, social services and infrastructure;
Real-time health surveillance incorporated into the planning process and
Monitoring and evaluation components and criteria.
Examples of heat health action plans or similar plans at the national level are:
the Portuguese Contingency Heatwaves Plan
the Heatwave plan for England
the Austrian Heat Protection Plan
the Heat-Health Action Plan of North Macedonia
Initiatives can also be found on the regional level as well, like the "Heat Hotline Parasol" service implemented in the Kassel region of Germany.
The systems adopted in European countries range from traditional passive communication approaches (e.g. media releases), to active communications to vulnerable individuals, e.g. alerts are sent to target groups.

In order to prepare heat health action plans, collaboration between different actors is essential. This covers actors from diverse institutions (multi-agency) and different sectors (inter-sectoral), like for nearly all emergency plans. While many actions fall to the health sector, active involvement of other sectors is also very relevant. Moreover, heat health actions plans are often developed at the national level and implemented at the regional to local levels as well; thus the involvement of and vertical collaboration among the relevant institutions and actors across all governance levels is of utmost importance.
Communication is an integral part of managing health risks, which involves an interactive process of exchange of information, concepts or concerns relating to such risks, among individuals, groups and institutions. Establishing a dialogue as early as possible between the different actors involved – including target users - provides several benefits. Therefore, at the beginning, there is a need to provide information and knowledge. This will increase awareness and concern on the part of the different actors. Especially accompanying efforts such as awareness raising in the population related to heat-related effects and health problems, especially focusing on the most vulnerable groups prone to health risks of heat, are extremely important components of any heat health plan and its successful implementation.
Based on WHO Europe experience on heat and health (e.g. EuroHEAT, Health advice and the European Working Group on Health in Climate Change) and drawn from existing heat health action plans and literature, core elements for the successful implementation of heat health action plans can be identified:
a coordinating body responsible for the implementation of the plan and collaboration with multi-agencies;
accurate and timely alert systems, to determine the thresholds for action;
a plan for informing and communicating heat-related health information including a clear identification of what needs to be communicated, to whom and when;
recommendations (e.g. about reducing heat exposure and advice on how to keep indoor temperatures low during heat episodes) targeting most vulnerable population groups;
a more mid- to long-term preparedness of the health and social care system (e.g. through staff training and planning, appropriate health care and improvement of the physical environment);
Monitoring of mortality and morbidity associated with periods of heat stress and an evaluation mechanism to assess the plan performance;
Report key stakeholders (e.g. the Health Minister) and the general public on the activities developed during the year.
These elements are not sequential, though some are primarily about planning and others more about response.
In order to fully implement the plans, coordination efforts between diverse actors at the national, sub-national and locals level are needed. This effort can be demanding and needs to be defined in detail, especially in terms of information flow and advice on who is doing what and when. Even, if the information is well communicated, it does not necessary imply, that the most vulnerable groups of society (elderly people, small children, people with current health problems, etc.) are reached and can act upon the information provided. Some additional efforts can be needed in terms of implementing suggested actions, which implies other financial efforts and might be harder to implement in the short-term (e.g. in the case of change in buildings).
Most existing plans are led and/or funded by related sectoral Ministries; in some cases research projects were the starting point for the plan elaboration and (pilot) implementation. The full implementation of an heat health action plan requires staff work in various areas related to the prevention of health risks, thus the estimation of costs and resources associated with the plans is rather difficult and context specific.
The plans benefits lie in the prevention of adverse health effects, especially on most vulnerable target groups. The benefits have until now not been fully analysed or calculated, since many plans are only in place for a few years and thus currently monitored, but not yet evaluated.
In general, it can be stated that the delivery of the information to sub-national and local multi-actors - who can either accordingly prevent or at least minimize the adverse health effects - compared to a lack of information is already a clear benefit. This is also true in terms of costs, as provided information helps the efficient planning for healthcare staff and related healthcare facilities.
Legal and policy basis for a heat health action plan can be of different nature, and can include documents like adaptation strategies, adaptation action plans or risk reduction/management strategies. Most plans have been developed at the national level. In some cases sub-national plans already existed; the national plan was developed harvesting these experiences and aims to provide an umbrella plan on the national level (e.g. in the case of Austria).
The elaboration of a heat health action plan is a relatively quick process, which can require a few years, depending also on the level of needed collaboration between actors in the field of health and early warning. Implementation as well as its monitoring is a continuous effort. Most heat health action plans are operational from May till September.
Actions foreseen by the plans are normally assumed to continue for the long-term. Monitoring, evaluation and reviewing are essential components of any plan, to adapt it to evolving conditions. Some plans foresee a revision of the plan after more experience is gained.

Few places on earth command overwhelming awe from observers, but Crater Lake, in south central Oregon, certainly does. Even in a region of volcanic wonders, Crater Lake can only be described in superlatives.
The Story Behind the Scenery interprets the dramatic beauty of this most pure lake in North America in high definition pictures by some of America's most accomplished photographers. Deeply informative and accurate text describes not only the natural wonders but the geologic history, as well chronicalling man's relationship with the lake from early Native Americans to the first explorers and right up to the present.
The Crater Lake depicted in The Story Behind the Scenery is one of the few wild places left where we can practice the fine art of living in the open. Here, we may forget ourselves for a time and enjoy a surge of healthy outdoor exploration.The blue gem of the Cascades moves us deeply when we imagine the infinite power which created this wonderful place called Crater Lake.

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire
Like all the Wayward Children, Regan's door appears when she wants nothing more than to have a world where she is accepted for who she is. Unknowingly she enters and finds herself in the Hooflands. A world where equine creatures such as centaurs and unicorns are its inhabitants. With her love for horses, Regan feels at home as she settles in with a family of centaur herders. But all humans who enter the Hooflands are pulled by destiny to save it. And dark secrets are lurking in the land.
Across the Green Grass Fields is not as dark as previous Wayward Children books. But that doesn't mean the story isn't as good. The central theme of the series remains the same. Children find doors to other worlds when they feel they are no longer accepted in our world. What may throw a few readers is the brand new character, Regan, who is introduced. This one is set as a standalone novel, so none of the characters readers have come to know throughout the series will be present.
Seanan McGuire always tackles unique subjects in the Wayward Children series. This time Regan is put out by her friends after sharing a secret about herself. (To avoid spoilers, you'll have to read the book to find out what exactly that secret is.) And unfortunately, because Regan is different from the other girls, once this secret has been told, the whispers and mean gossip begins. Feeling ostracized she leaves school. And so the door to the Hooflands appears, allowing her into a world that will accept Regan for who she is despite her differences.
Each new story in the Wayward Children is as heartbreaking as it is captivating. The depth of imagination that goes into each new world is surprisingly detailed given the length of each book. This is one series I don't want to see come to an end. There are so many possibilities, so many different worlds that can be discovered. If you're looking for a quick read and enjoy fantasy, give this series a try.

The media has always been impressed by the Ma Ma Tingting, initially through the public relations that does not accept the visit, but then selectively only for a visit, not the electronic media visit.
For her decision to join, she said that parents are supported yesterday that her father XIE Xian to attend the activities, loquat sent to her a voice, teaching her to slow down and speak clearly Articulation. As Tingfeng against her entry, she said: "I seldom see my brother, if we really join, I will formally sit down with his family to the dumping.
(Tingfeng that if you join after the collision plate, you would not mind looking for him, he may feel that Very bad) will not, but Mummy has said that a child will not see me step by step, I also think that boards do not necessarily have to hit only learned things, we are not good stupid.

His explanation of the days' events consisted solely of graphic descriptions of what gowns Jeanette was wearing and how she looked in them…details of her lovely shoulders, her beautiful skin, her low-cut bodice, etc. When Sybil cynically asked whether Nelson did anything else on the set except stare at Jeanette, her point went totally over his head.
And even a very grainy newspaper shot from the late 1950s. Yes, it's poor quality but one thing is certain, Nelson is still just gazing at her.
Per Nelson's own words, he was initially speechless at her beauty – "she would take your breath away", he said. And even though he initially came on too strong, too intense, and even proposed marriage to her a week after their first date, he subsequently discovered his manners. After an initial bout of strong interest between them in late 1933 and into 1934, during which time Jeanette pushed for Nelson to co-star with her in Naughty Marietta (and the trades announced his casting), there was then a cooling-off period where Jeanette basically told him – no. This despite photos of them taken together at the studio in June and the fact that Jeanette had even earlier given him a dog, Sheba. So it took Nelson by surprise that he ultimately was given the role late in the year, he thought he had "blown it" with her.
Nelson Eddy was a shy man, initially very reserved and tongue-tied with Jeanette. His mother no doubt lectured him severely about how to properly court Jeanette (once she finally approved of her). Yes, it is incredulous to think that he was such a naive misfit in the wildness of early 1930s Hollywood, a man who courted an established movie star with flowers and letters and held back from being "an animal" as he later termed it. (At least until he was pushed beyond his limit with her.) He was a mixture of a Victorian gentleman yet so obviously overwhelmed by her that he comes off as – well, a love-sick puppy dog.
I want to thank Elizabeth Nocero for sharing the original of this letter with us. Elizabeth has a classic Hollywood blog at this link.

Experience the beautiful flavors of the Spanish-Filipino cuisine inside Ilustrado — regarded as one of the best restaurants in the Walled City of Manila.
Opened in 1989, Ilustrado is a family-run business with an 'Old-Manila' setting. One of Ilustrado's key selling points is its Hispanic architecture fit for intimate luncheons and a memorable venue place for events. But what makes Ilustrado stand out the most is its food. Famed for many dishes such as the Paella Ilustrad and its very own Sampaguita ice cream, the restaurant has garnered loyal patrons.
PAELLA ILUSTRADO / IMAGE Philippine Primer
Ilustrado is also famed for their own take of the Philippine national dish—the Adobong Bagnet and Prawns with Taba ng Talangka. The tender pork belly is simmered in 6 spices and whose sauce is made richer by the crab fat. The dish is a heart-stopper both figuratively and literally holding a tag of "Please Be Careful with my Heart" beside its name in the menu.
But Ilustrado has been quite known for this one special dessert — the Sampaguita Ice Cream. Exotic as it sounds, guests are surprised with how delicious the taste is. It is literally the taste of a Sampaguita flower, the national flower of the Philippines, and is made from its petals with infused flavors.

Ilustrado accepts walk-in guests and private events. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and two function rooms named 'Binondo' and 'Bonifacio,' each can accommodate 20 pax.

This is a set of 12 TT Scale (1:120) locomotive replacement horns based on ones used on US outline locomotives. They are designed to fix directly to any TT Scale model locomotive shell.
There are twelve horns in the pack. All are three chime horns and come joined in pairs on sprues.
Type 3 has the shorter center chime facing in the reverse direction and raised above the other two.
Please note these parts do not come colored or painted.
These models have been designed for FUD & FXD materials so they will require cleaning before painting. I recommend washing with warm soapy water then soaking in 'Goo Gone' or a similar non-corrosive product for 24 hours. Then rinsing off with warm water and allowing to dry.

Did you know two people can perform the exact same exercise program and have different results? One reason for this is they may have different body types.
By knowing your body type, you can determine which meal plans and exercises will work best and help you reach your goals!
Get more great tips in my books The 3 Pillars of Strength: Increasing Your Physical, Mental and Spiritual Fitness, and The Diet of Success: Healthy Eating Tips for Hard Working Professionals.
None of us are perfect. The person you want to look like probably has insecurities or things about their body they don't like either. Don't let what you see in magazines, television, or the gym make you feel bad about yourself and your body type. Nothing wrong with striving to be the best you can be, but learn to accept your own unique shape and style. there's no one else out there like you. Savor your individuality!
I've worked with many people over the years as a personal trainer, as well as seen many types of people compete in triathlons. One thing I've learned over time is you can never judge a person's physical fitness by their appearance!
While competing in triathlons, I've seen athletes who thought would blow everybody out the water (based on their appearance) have terrible races. On the other hand, I've seen participants who looked like they never worked out do VERY well.

                before deleting `autobiny` from the trace.
            autocolorscale
                Determines whether the colorscale is a default
                palette (`autocolorscale: true`) or the palette
                determined by `colorscale`. In case
                `colorscale` is unspecified or `autocolorscale`
                is true, the default  palette will be chosen
                according to whether numbers in the `color`
                array are all positive, all negative or mixed.
            autocontour
                Determines whether or not the contour level
                attributes are picked by an algorithm. If True,
                the number of contour levels can be set in
                `ncontours`. If False, set the contour level
                attributes in `contours`.
            bingroup
                Set the `xbingroup` and `ybingroup` default
                prefix For example, setting a `bingroup` of 1
                on two histogram2d traces will make them their
                x-bins and y-bins match separately.
            coloraxis
                Sets a reference to a shared color axis.
                References to these shared color axes are
                "coloraxis", "coloraxis2", "coloraxis3", etc.
                Settings for these shared color axes are set in
                the layout, under `layout.coloraxis`,
                `layout.coloraxis2`, etc. Note that multiple
                color scales can be linked to the same color
                axis.
            colorbar
                :class:`plotly.graph_objects.histogram2dcontour
                .ColorBar` instance or dict with compatible
                properties
            colorscale
                Sets the colorscale. The colorscale must be an
                array containing arrays mapping a normalized
                value to an rgb, rgba, hex, hsl, hsv, or named
                color string. At minimum, a mapping for the
                lowest (0) and highest (1) values are required.
                For example, `[[0, 'rgb(0,0,255)'], [1,
                'rgb(255,0,0)']]`. To control the bounds of the
                colorscale in color space, use`zmin` and
                `zmax`. Alternatively, `colorscale` may be a
                palette name string of the following list: Grey
                s,YlGnBu,Greens,YlOrRd,Bluered,RdBu,Reds,Blues,
                Picnic,Rainbow,Portland,Jet,Hot,Blackbody,Earth
                ,Electric,Viridis,Cividis.
            contours
                :class:`plotly.graph_objects.histogram2dcontour
                .Contours` instance or dict with compatible
                properties
            customdata
                Assigns extra data each datum. This may be
                useful when listening to hover, click and
                selection events. Note that, "scatter" traces
                also appends customdata items in the markers
                DOM elements
            customdatasrc
                Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud
                for  customdata .
            histfunc
                Specifies the binning function used for this
                histogram trace. If "count", the histogram
                values are computed by counting the number of
                values lying inside each bin. If "sum", "avg",
                "min", "max", the histogram values are computed
                using the sum, the average, the minimum or the
                maximum of the values lying inside each bin
                respectively.
            histnorm
                Specifies the type of normalization used for
                this histogram trace. If "", the span of each
                bar corresponds to the number of occurrences
                (i.e. the number of data points lying inside
                the bins). If "percent" / "probability", the
                span of each bar corresponds to the percentage
                / fraction of occurrences with respect to the
                total number of sample points (here, the sum of
                all bin HEIGHTS equals 100% / 1). If "density",
                the span of each bar corresponds to the number
                of occurrences in a bin divided by the size of
                the bin interval (here, the sum of all bin
                AREAS equals the total number of sample
                points). If *probability density*, the area of
                each bar corresponds to the probability that an
                event will fall into the corresponding bin
                (here, the sum of all bin AREAS equals 1).
            hoverinfo
                Determines which trace information appear on
                hover. If `none` or `skip` are set, no
                information is displayed upon hovering. But, if
                `none` is set, click and hover events are still
                fired.
            hoverinfosrc
                Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud
                for  hoverinfo .
            hoverlabel
                :class:`plotly.graph_objects.histogram2dcontour
                .Hoverlabel` instance or dict with compatible
                properties
            hovertemplate
                Template string used for rendering the
                information that appear on hover box. Note that
                this will override `hoverinfo`. Variables are
                inserted using %{variable}, for example "y:
                %{y}". Numbers are formatted using d3-format's
                syntax %{variable:d3-format}, for example
                "Price: %{y:$.2f}".

                reference/blob/master/Formatting.md#d3_format
                for details on the formatting syntax. Dates are
                formatted using d3-time-format's syntax
                %{variable|d3-time-format}, for example "Day:
                %{2019-01-01|%A}".

                reference/blob/master/Time-Formatting.md#format
                for details on the date formatting syntax. The
                variables available in `hovertemplate` are the
                ones emitted as event data described at this
                link https://plotly.com/javascript/plotlyjs-
                events/#event-data. Additionally, every
                attributes that can be specified per-point (the
                ones that are `arrayOk: true`) are available.
                variable `z` Anything contained in tag
                `<extra>` is displayed in the secondary box,
                for example "<extra>{fullData.name}</extra>".
                To hide the secondary box completely, use an
                empty tag `<extra></extra>`.
            hovertemplatesrc
                Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud
                for  hovertemplate .
            ids
                Assigns id labels to each datum. These ids for
                object constancy of data points during
                animation. Should be an array of strings, not
                numbers or any other type.
            idssrc
                Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud
                for  ids .
            legendgroup
                Sets the legend group for this trace. Traces
                part of the same legend group hide/show at the
                same time when toggling legend items.
            line
                :class:`plotly.graph_objects.histogram2dcontour
                .Line` instance or dict with compatible
                properties
            marker
                :class:`plotly.graph_objects.histogram2dcontour
                .Marker` instance or dict with compatible
                properties
            meta
                Assigns extra meta information associated with
                this trace that can be used in various text
                attributes. Attributes such as trace `name`,
                graph, axis and colorbar `title.text`,
                annotation `text` `rangeselector`,
                `updatemenues` and `sliders` `label` text all
                support `meta`. To access the trace `meta`
                values in an attribute in the same trace,
                simply use `%{meta[i]}` where `i` is the index
                or key of the `meta` item in question. To
                access trace `meta` in layout attributes, use
                `%{data[n[.meta[i]}` where `i` is the index or
                key of the `meta` and `n` is the trace index.
            metasrc
                Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud
                for  meta .
            name
                Sets the trace name. The trace name appear as
                the legend item and on hover.
            nbinsx
                Specifies the maximum number of desired bins.
                This value will be used in an algorithm that
                will decide the optimal bin size such that the
                histogram best visualizes the distribution of
                the data. Ignored if `xbins.size` is provided.
            nbinsy
                Specifies the maximum number of desired bins.
                This value will be used in an algorithm that
                will decide the optimal bin size such that the
                histogram best visualizes the distribution of
                the data. Ignored if `ybins.size` is provided.
            ncontours
                Sets the maximum number of contour levels. The
                actual number of contours will be chosen
                automatically to be less than or equal to the
                value of `ncontours`. Has an effect only if
                `autocontour` is True or if `contours.size` is
                missing.
            opacity
                Sets the opacity of the trace.
            reversescale
                Reverses the color mapping if true. If true,
                `zmin` will correspond to the last color in the
                array and `zmax` will correspond to the first
                color.
            showlegend
                Determines whether or not an item corresponding
                to this trace is shown in the legend.
            showscale
                Determines whether or not a colorbar is
                displayed for this trace.
            stream
                :class:`plotly.graph_objects.histogram2dcontour
                .Stream` instance or dict with compatible
                properties
            uid
                Assign an id to this trace, Use this to provide
                object constancy between traces during
                animations and transitions.
            uirevision
                Controls persistence of some user-driven
                changes to the trace: `constraintrange` in
                `parcoords` traces, as well as some `editable:
                true` modifications such as `name` and
                `colorbar.title`. Defaults to
                `layout.uirevision`. Note that other user-
                driven trace attribute changes are controlled
                by `layout` attributes: `trace.visible` is
                controlled by `layout.legend.uirevision`,
                `selectedpoints` is controlled by
                `layout.selectionrevision`, and
                `colorbar.(x|y)` (accessible with `config:
                {editable: true}`) is controlled by
                `layout.editrevision`. Trace changes are
                tracked by `uid`, which only falls back on
                trace index if no `uid` is provided. So if your
                app can add/remove traces before the end of the
                `data` array, such that the same trace has a
                different index, you can still preserve user-
                driven changes if you give each trace a `uid`
                that stays with it as it moves.
            visible
                Determines whether or not this trace is
                visible. If "legendonly", the trace is not
                drawn, but can appear as a legend item
                (provided that the legend itself is visible).
            x
                Sets the sample data to be binned on the x
                axis.
            xaxis
                Sets a reference between this trace's x
                coordinates and a 2D cartesian x axis. If "x"
                (the default value), the x coordinates refer to
                `layout.xaxis`. If "x2", the x coordinates
                refer to `layout.xaxis2`, and so on.
            xbingroup
                Set a group of histogram traces which will have
                compatible x-bin settings. Using `xbingroup`,
                histogram2d and histogram2dcontour traces  (on
                axes of the same axis type) can have compatible
                x-bin settings. Note that the same `xbingroup`
                value can be used to set (1D) histogram
                `bingroup`
            xbins
                :class:`plotly.graph_objects.histogram2dcontour

                axis.
            yaxis
                Sets a reference between this trace's y
                coordinates and a 2D cartesian y axis. If "y"
                (the default value), the y coordinates refer to
                `layout.yaxis`. If "y2", the y coordinates
                refer to `layout.yaxis2`, and so on.
            ybingroup
                Set a group of histogram traces which will have
                compatible y-bin settings. Using `ybingroup`,
                histogram2d and histogram2dcontour traces  (on
                axes of the same axis type) can have compatible
                y-bin settings. Note that the same `ybingroup`
                value can be used to set (1D) histogram
                `bingroup`
            ybins

                for  y .
            z
                Sets the aggregation data.
            zauto
                Determines whether or not the color domain is
                computed with respect to the input data (here
                in `z`) or the bounds set in `zmin` and `zmax`
                Defaults to `false` when `zmin` and `zmax` are
                set by the user.
            zhoverformat
                Sets the hover text formatting rule using d3
                formatting mini-languages which are very
                similar to those in Python. See:
                https://github.com/d3/d3-3.x-api-
                reference/blob/master/Formatting.md#d3_format
            zmax
                Sets the upper bound of the color domain. Value
                should have the same units as in `z` and if
                set, `zmin` must be set as well.
            zmid
                Sets the mid-point of the color domain by
                scaling `zmin` and/or `zmax` to be equidistant
                to this point. Value should have the same units
                as in `z`. Has no effect when `zauto` is
                `false`.
            zmin
                Sets the lower bound of the color domain. Value
                should have the same units as in `z` and if
                set, `zmax` must be set as well.
            zsrc
                Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo ordered to hand over book money
The deposed governor was ordered to turn over the revenue from American Crisis : Leadership Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic (American crisis: Leadership lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic) within 30 days, according to several American media, including the New York Times and Associated Press.
The book was published in October 2020, two months before Andrew Cuomo was forced to resign over multiple allegations of sexual misconduct.
The resolution of the Joint Committee on Public Ethics, adopted by 12 votes to 1, directs him to return the sum to the state attorney general's office and authorizes the office to enforce the recovery.
Criticizing the decision, an attorney for Andrew Cuomo has promised to challenge it.
The actions [du comité] posed today are unconstitutional, beyond its own authority, and appear to be motivated by political interests rather than fact and law , said Jim McGuire. If they seek to enforce this action, we will see them in court.
The committee's order comes in the wake of its decision, taken a month ago, to rescind the ethics approval it had given to Mr. Cuomo before he signed the contract for the publication of his book.
With his daily press briefings to take stock of the situation, the former governor had imposed himself on the national scene at the start of the pandemic, offering a marked contrast with the former President Donald Trump, who trivialized the coronavirus and disputed the facts put forward by federal public health experts.
Andrew Cuomo even asked the former White House tenant to listen to science and help his state deal with the crisis. He had emerged as a reassuring figure taking the crisis seriously, even though his state was at the epicenter of the pandemic.
However, it was later revealed that his administration had publicly downplayed the number of deaths attributable to COVID-19, excluding, for example, deaths occurring at home or in prisons.
Cuomo employees allegedly helped him during their work
The committee approved the deal in July 2020, after receiving assurances from the politician's lawyer that the politician would not use state personnel or resources to write his book and that he would do so. 'would write entirely on his free time .
Complaints that state property, resources as well as personnel were used to prepare, write, edit and publish the book subsequently emerged, however.
Mr Cuomo admitted that state employees helped him with certain tasks, such as editing the manuscript, but claimed they did so on a voluntary basis.
A separate investigation by the state legislature, released last month, found that the ex-governor had asked his staff to devote a lot of time to the project.
Staff members told investigators that they were asked to perform book-related tasks during their work day, such as transcribing dictated sentences, printing and delivering documents, and attending meetings with editors. A senior state official sent and received 1,000 emails about the book, according to the report.
The committee's injunction, likely to result in a lengthy legal battle, could be complicated by the fact that Mr. Cuomo has already donated $ 500,000 from the book's proceeds to charity and placed another million in a trust for his daughters.

NEGC is fortunate to have 8 active Patient Advocates who all come from different backgrounds. Our volunteers joined the program for different reasons but most of them strive to improve their skills. I interviewed Chuck, one of our Patient Advocates, and gained insight into his decision to join the program.
At times, Chuck finds aspects of his volunteer position challenging but he is willing to push himself out of his comfort zone. For example, approaching people is a challenge so he began setting goals of how many people to approach per day. This will ultimately help him strengthen his skills and grow as a person. We are thankful that Chuck takes time out of his day to volunteer and put smiles on people's faces!

Macron calls for G7 talks to focus on 'international crisis' in Amazon rainforest
Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro lashes out at 'sensationalist' comments saying they were for 'personal political gain'
France's president, Emmanuel Macron, has said the fires in the Amazon are an "international crisis" and called for them to be top of the agenda at the G7 summit, prompting a furious response from Brazil's leader.
"Our house is burning. Literally," Macron tweeted.
Brazil's president, Jair Bolsonaro, a right-wing nationalist who bristles at the idea of foreign interference in the Brazilian Amazon, took exception to his French counterpart's comments.
"I regret that president Macron seeks to take advantage of what is a domestic Brazilian issue and of other Amazonian countries for personal political gain," Bolsonaro tweeted, targeting what he called Macron's "sensationalist tone".
In a second tweet, he said: "The French president's suggestion that Amazonian matters be discussed at the G7 without the involvement of countries of the region recalls the colonialist mindset that is unacceptable in the 21st century."
Later Brazil's foreign minister Ernesto Araújo weighed in with a thread on Twitter, condemning the "savage and unfair" international campaign against his nation.
Araújo claimed the campaign was being waged "because President Bolsonaro's government is rebuilding Brazil."
"The 'environmental crisis' appears to be the last weapon left in the arsenal of leftist lies to smother this fact," he added.
Earlier one of Bolsonaro's top foreign advisers also tweeted a reprimand to foreign meddlers. "God does not like liars," Filipe Martins wrote in a series of posts rebutting international criticism.
Bolsonaro's politician son, Eduardo, continued the offensive, tweeting a YouTube video called "Macron is an idiot" to his 1.6m followers.
But international concern continued to be expressed over the scale of the fires. The UN secretary general, Antonio Guterres, said he was "deeply concerned" about their effect on the global climate crisis: "In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity."
London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, said the fires were being "aided and abetted by the Brazilian government". The burning of the rainforest was "an act of shocking environmental vandalism with global consequences".
Celebrities, including Madonna, also weighed in on Thursday. "The Fires Are Raging and The Amazonia continues to burn," she tweeted.
The Fires Are Raging and The Amazonia continues to burn.........This is a devastation to Brazil—to the indigenous people who live there and the-plant and animal species that make this the most important bio-diverse Forest!!!

"It is devastating to see our world suffer," the British Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton wrote on Instagram.
The footballer Cristiano Ronaldo tweeted about the urgency of the Amazon fires, saying it's "our responsibility to help save the planet".

Brazil has had more than 72,000 fires this year, an 84% increase on the same period in 2018, says the country's National Institute for Space Research. More than half were in the Amazon.
There was a sharp rise in deforestation during July, which has been followed by extensive burning in August. Local newspapers say farmers in some regions are organising "fire days" to take advantage of weaker enforcement by the authorities.
Ecuador's president, Lenín Moreno, on Thursday said he had spoken to Bolsonaro and would send three "brigades of specialists in forest fires and environmental research, who will help mitigate the tragedy in the Amazon rainforest."

Presentation by Tilmann von Soest and Espen Røysamb, University of Oslo
8. Feb | 2019
Marcus Thranes gate 2, meeting room 2nd floor
Espen Røysamb is professor of psychology at the Department of Psychology, UiO, and senior researcher (20%) at FHI. He is Head of Section for Health, Developmental and Personality Psychology, and is designated director of PROMENTA.
Tilmann von Soest is professor in personality psychology at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo. He is designated co-director of PROMENTA.
About the presentation
The presentation will focus on the PROMENTA Research Centre, which will be established in August 2019. PROMENTA aims to provide answers to three central questions in mental health, well-being, and drug use research: What processes lead to poor and good mental health, and how? How do social and geographic inequalities in mental health arise? How can we develop, tailor, and evaluate effective interventions in communities to promote good mental health? To address these questions, we examine sources of mental health on a variety of levels, such as genetic risk, neurocognitive development, the psychosocial environment, and the socio-cultural and political context.
By applying an interdisciplinary approach, integrating perspectives from genetics, cognitive neuroscience, psychology, sociology, econometrics, and informatics, PROMENTA will deliver knowledge to promote well-being, prevent poor mental health and drug use problems, and reduce social and geographic inequalities in mental health. We will use several large longitudinal datasets combining register data, genetically informative data, neuroimaging data, and data collected by mobile applications. Moreover, we will make use of geodata, large-scale repeated cross-sectional surveys, and ethnographic fieldwork. Together with relevant users and stakeholders, we will conduct and evaluate interventions at the municipality level.
PROMENTA is based at the Department of Psychology, University of Oslo (UiO). PROMENTA's partner institutions are the Department of Sociology and Human Geography, UiO; the University Center for Information Technology, UiO; the Norwegian Institute of Public Health; the Norwegian WHO Healthy Cities Network; Oslo Metropolitan University; Leiden University (the Netherlands); and Virginia Commonwealth University (USA). Several national and international collaborators are associated with the center.

Penny Auctions Don't Always Add Up
Smart Buying
They promise deep discounts, but you rarely win.
By Jessica L. Anderson, Associate Editor
In for a penny, in for a pound, goes the saying. That's certainly true with penny auctions. The sites, springing up all over the Web, auction off products from iPads to gift cards, supposedly at discounts up to 99%. Sound too good to be true? You're right.
Here's how it works: The auction price for every item starts at $0, and each bid increases the price by a penny. But you have to pay to bid. Participants in penny auctions register with the site and buy bids that typically range in price from 50 cents to $1 each. Each time you bid, you spend real money, for the chance to be the high bidder. If you win, your cost is the closing price, plus the price of the bids.
In a recent auction on QuiBids.com, a user won an Apple iMac, valued at $1,700, for just $10.79. But the winner had bid 101 times, so the cost was really $71.39. Still, not bad, right? But you could also end up paying more than an item is worth. A 16GB Apple iPad 2 recently sold at Beezid.com for $158.59 -- a steal given the $499 retail price. But the winner had placed 878 bids, at a cost of $412.66. Final price: $571.25.
Time limits on penny auctions are extended with each new bid as the countdown approaches zero -- so the auction can go on and on. Even when you think you've won, another bid comes in and the auction continues. Auctions eventually end with a winner, but "the majority of people don't ever win a product," says Better Business Bureau spokeswoman Becky Maier.
Some sites, such as QuiBids and BidZillion.com, allow you to put your losing bids toward buying the item at the retail price. But some shopping may well turn up a better price elsewhere.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Nov 19 attended the ceremony marking the completion of the offshore section of the Turkish Stream Project, a gas pipeline bypassing Ukraine.
"For us, Russia is a friend we can have long term cooperation with and is an important natural gas supplier," Erdogan said, speaking at the ceremony, according to Hurriyet Daily.
"Countries' decisions as to how to obtain natural gas in accordance with their own circumstances must be respected. Pressure, which will violate states' sovereign rights and prevent them from serving their citizens, will benefit no one," said Erdogan.
"I believe our solidarity with Putin and the Russian people will be foreshadowing of bigger projects," the president said.
"Turkish Stream is a project of historic proportions for our bilateral relations and for energy geopolitics in our region, on which we have exerted great efforts with our Russian friends," said Erdogan.
Vladimir Putin, for his part, thanked Erdogan for his "political will and courage" and the Turkish Parliament for immediate permission for Turkish Stream.
TurkStream and the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant will be symbols of the development of relations between Turkey and Russia, he said, noting that his country wants to reach a $100 billion bilateral trade volume with Turkey.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the United States remains in opposition to the Nord Stream 2 and Turkish Stream gas pipeline projects bypassing Ukraine, that's according to U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry who visited Kyiv last week.
The TurkStream will deliver Russian natural gas across the Black Sea to Turkey and then onto Europe.
Gazprom began construction of the offshore section of the Turkish Stream in May 2017. The Turkish Stream project envisages the construction of two pipelines, each 939 kilometers long.
The first line will be designed for the Turkish market and will meet 35 percent of Turkey's natural gas consumption alone. The second is for gas supply to countries in southern and southeastern Europe. The capacity of each line is 15.75 billion cubic meters of gas per year. The first deliveries are scheduled for the end of 2019.
The progress on the construction of the second line will depend on from where Russian natural gas will enter Europe, the relevant natural gas agreements to be signed and the route. Two lines will have a total throughput capacity of 31.5 billion cubic meters of gas per year. The first stream of gas is expected to flow through the pipeline in December 2019.

From origins in the Boston Athenaeum (BH7), the present institution was established in 1870 and moved to a Victorian Gothic building (1876, Sturgis and Brigham) on Copley Square. At the turn of the century, cultural institutions shifted toward Huntington Avenue and commissioned new buildings in styles suited to the American Renaissance. Set back from the street, the raised central Ionic entrance portico of this gray granite building stands as a Roman temple pavilion, a motif repeated on the projecting lateral wings. Through this pavilion one enters a monumental stair hall rising to a domed rotunda, both ornamented with murals and bas-reliefs celebrating the arts and the classical tradition by John Singer Sargent (1921 rotunda completed, 1925 staircase). The symmetrical plan culminates on the Fenway facade with a monumental Ionic colonnade extending along the entire length and height of the Robert Dawson Evans Wing, built in 1911–1915. Enhancing the Huntington Avenue entrance courtyard, a 1909 bronze equestrian sculpture, Appeal to the Great Spirit by Cyrus Dallin, greets the visitor.
I. M. Pei's west wing addition (1981) respects the Beaux-Arts classical building in its scale and granite material. Because of the new functional necessities of museums, his structure, quite anonymous on the exterior, has become the principal passage to the treasures within. We find here all the amenities required by the "new" museum—restaurants, a theater, museum shops, and information and educational services—in fact, only one-sixth of this addition is devoted to gallery space. All the facilities are organized about a skylit barrel-vaulted space, its open café and walkway creating a welcome indoor "street," replete with ficus trees. Flexibility is the key to the principal exhibition space for temporary installations, with its grid coffered ceiling and provisions for natural and artificial light. Outside, Tenshinen (Garden of the Heart of Heaven), designed by Kinsaku Nakane of Kyoto in 1988, is accessible through a cypress gate—a "dry mountain water garden"—a place of peace and a hint of the great collection of Japanese art within.
As part of a long-term massive expansion and reorganization program, the Museum of Fine Arts will be shuffling collections and offices, creating and filling courtyards to a master plan designed by British architect Sir Norman Foster. The American Wing element of the master plan is scheduled for completion in 2010.

Passive drool is a saliva collection method for collecting whole saliva (also called "mixed" saliva). Passive drool is considered by many researchers to be the gold standard when collecting saliva samples for biological testing, because it provides the purest sample possible and allows researchers to "biobank" samples for future testing. Although collecting whole saliva by spitting or drooling might seem to be easy, it can actually be a messy task that discourages some participants from donating samples. The SalivaBio's Passive Drool saliva collection method includes everything you need to reduce mess, increase compliance, accelerate sample collection, and preserve sample integrity. Complete with cryovial, saliva collection aid, and sample collection instructions, this saliva collection system is ready to use in the field or on-site.
The SalivaBio LLC cryostorage box is designed to promote better sample organization and storage. The new SalivaBio box features key advantages over a traditional 2″ cryostorage box: a water-resistant laminated cover extends the lifetime of the box by reducing wear that can occur over several freeze-thaw cycles; a rigid 81-cell plastic grid will not bend or crush easing sample placement and removal; and integrated grid-lines simplify sample identification on the box that makes it easy to find and replace samples. The new box also features an attached, hinged lid, to minimize bench-space and keep samples organized.

De'Monte Buckingham returns to the court with an open recruitment
June 9, 2015 Chase Pyke HS Basketball, Recruiting 0
Update (11/25/2015): De'Monte Buckingham has signed to Richmond.
In three years at Henrico High School in Richmond, Virginia, junior shooting guard De'Monte Buckingham has evolved into one of the state's most dynamic players and top recruits. The six-foot-three-inch Buckingham possesses a rare blend of strength and skill, often leaving onlookers asking themselves if there is anything he cannot do on the basketball court.
This past season, Buckingham averaged 21.5 points, 3.6 assists, and 9.6 rebounds per game (via MaxPreps.com) and helped Henrico to a second state championship in three years. One would think Buckingham's recruitment would be everything he ever imagined and maybe more, but according to the guard, it has not progressed like he hoped it would.

Before the start of the high school season, Buckingham suffered an injury to his right knee. Buckingham was able to playout the season, which he closed with a 20-point performance in the state title game. Not long after his season ended, Buckingham underwent arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus to clean the tissue. Approximately two months after the surgery, Buckingham has made a steady return to the court. And just like prior to the surgery, Buckingham is once again ready to perform.
Despite his heroic performance in the state playoffs and a quick recovery from the surgery, Buckingham's recruitment has hit a speedbump. Buckingham is still a highly-touted recruit (as of publication, Buckingham has 13 Division 1 offers) but said some schools have lost interest after his surgery.
"When people found out about the surgery, I felt like colleges started taking off and started doubting me," he said. "But some colleges stayed with me."
Among the schools that have continued their pursuit of Buckingham are East Carolina, Richmond, and VCU, with Richmond and VCU the schools most frequently in contact with him.
"[Other schools] knew the type of player I had been and knew I could come back from the surgery so those were the colleges I was really like, 'Thanks for staying there and believing in me.'"
Hardworking and unselfish, Buckingham says his strengths as a player are his ability to use his strong body to his advantage, get to the basket, and find open teammates.
"I just like to get up the floor and find my teammates before I even try to think about scoring. I always think about finding the open man. I just like getting everyone involved before I always get myself
involved because that's the right way to play the game."
Buckingham does not have an official list of likely destinations, but does plan on making his decision towards the end of the summer. Until then, Buckingham plans on improving his game and showing the schools with cooled interest in him that he is the same player as before the surgery.
"Outside of the court they don't see the things I work on, but everything I do I go at it hard, 100 percent because I want to be better than the next player."

THE CULT LEADER
There was something endlessly fascinating about Michael Alig… He draws you in.
"James St. James and I first moved to New York, and Studio 54 had just fallen apart."
We became the darlings of the club scene, paid merely to show up and bring a bit of fabulousness to the mix. We led a pampered existence of fancy dinners and media exposure.
Meanwhile, one of my biggest successes as a promoter was "The Filthy Mouth Contest." I had to do something that would cause a stir and figured I'd have a competition where you went on stage and said the raunchiest, dirtiest thing ever. Whoever shocked the audience most would win $100. People talked about being raped or raping someone. It devolved into public masturbation with beer bottles. Everyone was riveted. They couldn't leave the room. I don't know what the take was that night, but I got paid $500. "Thank God I quit college," I thought. "I'm going to be a millionaire."
In 1998 New York magazine introduced the club kids to the rest of the country. A 23 year old Michael graced the cover. "He was staring out at you from every news stand. That's when everyone first took notice and said that this boy had something and maybe we better start paying attention," recalls John St John.
The article explained that Aids had changed the nature of Manhatten's infamous club scene. Gone were the anonymous sex and drugs from the previous era. Michael was the appealing flamboyant pied piper of the new scene where the emphasis was on dressing up, dancing all night, and going home, alone. It was true – at least for a while.
In 1990 the biggest club owner in the city, Peter Gatier, put Michael on his payroll for his chain of downtown hotspots. Michael would pick a theme, hire a DJ and make sure that his fellow club kids showed up. Michael was being paid for something he would otherwise do for free.
In addition to his salary he received a budget for each party. Michael would use that money to pay the kids to dress up in their outfits, and supply the party favours that would make it all more extreme. Inevitably drugs made their way on to the scene. Soon the pharmaceutical exstacy was flooding the clubs. People who didnt do drugs were doing exstacy, because exstacy back then was purely pharmaceutical, it was made in a laboratory and at first totally legal. It wasn't bad for you, it was good for you, because you knew where it came from and that it was pure, unike other drugs that would come from some unknown Colombian drug dealer.
Michael started throwing illegal Outlaw parties in surprise outdoor locations, such as Burger King. The highlight of every party was the arrival of the police. Each party pushed the boundaries.

Michael Alig was king of the Club Kids. He was running the best parties at the two biggest nightclubs in New York City, Tunnel and Limelight. For a spell, Alig was the toast of the town.
"By March 1988, we made the cover of New York Magazine. I was going through my Little Lord Fauntleroy period — the bower around the neck, the ruffled shirt and the knickers. We were guests on Geraldo, Donahue and Joan Rivers. Our message was: "Love yourself. Don't give a f— what other people think about you."
In the early days of Club Kids, it really was quite beautiful and positive. We helped the disillusioned and the disenfranchised believe in themselves — the gay kid from Iowa who didn't dare tell anyone for fear of being mocked. Even though I didn't really buy it myself, I was very good at getting that message out."
Alig presents like a sociopath. Normal life does not satisfy them. They get bored easily. They chase "fun". They use drugs to find excitement. Not surprisingly so many people are attracted to him. Sociopaths charm. That's what they do.
THE DRUGS: 'What goes up must get higher'
"Then, in the early '90s, while I was employed as one of Peter's directors, a darker side emerged to the club scene. Drugs were introduced such as Rohypnol and the animal tranquilizer ketamine, known as Special K. These were heavy downers that turned them into zombies."
Cocaine and ecstasy were social drugs that made people chatty and euphoric.
"There's a reason you take drugs—so you don't have to think about these things. Strangely enough, I'd always been anti-drug. I hated it when Keoki took cocaine. Usually, when I found it in his pockets, I'd flush it down the toilet. But one time when I discovered his stash, I confronted him, put it on the back of my hand and snorted it. It was a selfish thing. It was like I was saying: "How does it feel now that your drug use has encroached upon our relationship? Now I'm a drug addict too!"
It didn't take long before things imploded. The drinking, drugging and lack of boundaries took its toll. I wound up in the hospital twice after overdosing on a near-lethal concoction of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and ketamine.
As for the club scene, it was the beginning of the end.
Recreational drug use became a part of Michael' s life, and regular drug dealers were there to feed the demand.
Moving on to harder drugs was the next logical step for Michael. Heroin start coming around. In 1995 Michaels newest idea was a party at the Limelight for his birthday called "Bloodfeast". There were references to severed legs, hammers, knives, blood and all kinds of murderous motives. That made it clear that there was something not too good going on in Michaels mind at the time. Michaels once harmless image was by now long gone.
The movement turned from being this really talented creative pool of individuals to being a bunch of drug addicts. By 1996 Michael was a full blown junkie, injecting Heroin every day.
By mid-1995, the Drug Enforcement Agency was on our case. The Limelight was repeatedly threatened with closure by the police, who suspected drug trafficking. They said we had a laissez-faire attitude and allowed dealers to operate in our clubs.
In truth, we were paying them around $200 a night to host events. They weren't the Gambinos, they were small-timers, often drag queens who made only enough money selling drugs to support their own habit.
One of them was Angel Melendez, a 25-year-old Club Kid who lived in Queens but "sometimes stayed over at my apartment with the others on weekends in Manhattan. He was a good guy, but we looked down on him because he was part of the Webster Hall crowd, whom we considered second-rate."
Angel and other drug dealers often go out like this. They get robbed, beaten up and get arrested for long periods of time. Angel, if he survived could have done similar time as Michael if the hammer of the law had gotten him.
Angel sold drugs to young people. We don't know the fate of any of them. Did they get off the drugs? OD? Live miserable underachieving lives? We will never know the results of Angel's career choice.
Drug dealers are despicable. Angel was no angel. He didn't deserve to die, but never the less his demise, if it were not for the Alig's involvement, would have been a line on page 17 of the newspapers. A drug dealer getting killed is not big news.
By the time of his murder Angel was tired of being treated poorly by the Club Kids who seemed to think he was tacky and a hanger-on. He was tired of being stepped on by drunk and wasted people, who got more and more obnoxious and more and more wasted as the years wore on. He was also tired of being ripped off.
Colombian immigrant Angel Melendez and his brother had immigrated from Colombia in the 1970's. Like Michael Angel was drawn to the Manhattan nightlife and was trying to make a name for himself. Former club kid "Screaming Rachael Cain" recalls: " He would wear a costume with angel wings, and platform shoes. He was always a sight to see and he had many friends within the club kids scene."
The club kids crowd distrusted new arrivals, but Angel was tolerated because he had the one thing that most of them wanted – Drugs. Angel started selling drugs to be accepted by everyone – to be a club kid. Angel used his drugs to feed into Michaels addiction and to become part of Michael's inner circle.
James St James remembers that he adored Michael. "He let Michael get away with things that no drug dealer would have allowed any client to get away with." Angel lived in Queens, but he would occasionally crash at Michaels Manhattan apartment in exchange for drugs.
By the Spring of 1996 Michaels drug addiction had made that arrangement increasingly tense. His demand for free drugs kept growing. Angel felt used.
Angel may not have been significant to the people at Disco 2000 but he was significant to someone. His family for one. Today, years after the tragic murder, Michael Alig says:
"It's a stipulation of my parole that I don't contact Angel's relatives, but maybe they'll reach out to me. I know that whatever I tell them, they will never get closure."
"But I'd like them to know that, when he was alive, Angel was just like the rest of us Club Kids — a misfit from the sticks who was very much loved in our alternative family of friends."

CLASS OF 2019: DMU fires Ellie up for creative career in ceramics
Cultivating her craft at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) has helped Ellie Barton secure a job with luxury interior design brand deVOL.
The Design Crafts graduate started her role as a ceramic assistant last week and is making plaster moulds for tableware and lighting fixtures, with opportunities to contribute to the design process.
"I'm having a great time, it's really amazing to be doing something I love. Everyone is really lovely and it's so exciting being around other creatives," said the 23-year-old from Market Harborough.
Based in Leicestershire, with showrooms in London and New York, deVOL's bespoke kitchens and interiors have been featured across the media from television programmes such as Grand Designs to Country Living magazine.
Ellie made an impression with her collection of slip-casted earthenware featuring distinctive brushstrokes, which she developed during her time at DMU.
"I like using single and multiple colours, or combining three different tones to create a horizon effect. The aesthetic is a nice contrast to the shape of my pieces, which is inspired by brutalist architecture," she said.
With plenty of slip-casting and mould-making experience under her belt, Ellie secured her job before graduating with a First last month.
She said: "It was good to know I had a job lined up before finishing my final project as it took a bit of pressure off me. I'm a perfectionist, so it was good to relax a little bit.
"I have DMU to thank for its amazing facilities. Not every university has dedicated plaster rooms - where I used the lathe to make my moulds – or ceramic and kiln rooms."
During her degree, Ellie's work was recognised by Sainsbury's. Working to a live brief set by the supermarket giant, she wowed the design team with her set of hanging planters and was rewarded with a two-week internship at the brand's headquarters.
"It was a really good experience and everyone was very friendly. It involved lots of computer design and I enjoyed doing trend forecasts," she said.
"Maybe I can pursue something like it in the future, but I want to carry on making for now."

Ellie has converted her garage into a studio with a kiln so she can continue to develop her own designs, which she recently showcased at Leicester's Art at The Chapel exhibition.
Other degree highlights for Ellie include being chosen to show her final-year work at New Designers, one of the UK's biggest events for emerging talent, and visiting the Brooklyn Glass studio during a trip to New York with #DMUglobal, the university's international experience programme.
She was also awarded the Albert Thomas Roberts Arts and Crafts Scholarship Award at DMU's Degree Show.
"I loved my course and I didn't want to leave. From regular lectures by successful artists to the brilliant facilities, it really sets you up for the future," she said.
"I'm going to miss the workshops and working with other people, especially the support from the technicians – they are absolute geniuses, you can ask them anything and they know the answer."

Scott Morrison Gives Ministers Rupert Murdoch Pins To Remind Them Which Side They're On
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has given each of his ministers a Rupert Murdoch pin to attach to their lapel, as a daily reminder of who they're here to serve.
"I'm on the side of Rupe, that's what I'm saying to myself, that's who I think about first," Mr Morrison said, looking down at the little bald face on his suit jacket.
"Whenever I'm faced with a tough decision or a tricky challenge, I look down and say 'What would Rupert do?' The answer always comes to me straight away. Often via a text message from New York".
Mr Morrison said this was a new generation of government. "We're going to get electricity prices down. We're going to increase jobs. We're going to roll out a broadband policy that makes no sense," he told journalists.
Ministers said the Rupert pin was a nice initiative. "We shouldn't need a reminder, but it never hurts," one minister said. "The phone number for Rupert's PA printed on the back is a nice touch too. It saves so much time," one minister said.
