Shrouds of the Somme, an extraordinary commemorative art project, has been launched in London with a crowdfunder campaign which began on Wednesday 10 May, asking people to be part of this awe-inspiring installation.
A total of 72,396 shrouded figures will be laid out in rows in London to mark the centenary of Armistice Day in 2018. Each 12-inch figure represents a British serviceman* who died at the Battle of the Somme but whose body was never recovered. Every one is bound by West Somerset artist Rob Heard into a hand-stitched calico shroud and made to a name identified by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
Rob will spend a total of 15,000 hours to achieve this staggering feat. He must work for 15 hours every day to get the memorial done in time for the centenary of Armistice Day.
HM Lord-Lieutenant of Greater London, Mr Kenneth Olisa OBE, said, "Shrouds of the Somme is a very imaginative and special piece of commemorative art. We are delighted and honoured that this installation is coming to London to mark the Centenary of the end of the Great War. The Shrouds will be of huge significance."
Last year Rob created 19,240 shrouded figures to represent each soldier killed on the first day of Battle of the Somme. These were laid out in Exeter and Bristol, giving a powerful and poignant reminder of the loss during the anniversary of the battle. Now Rob needs to make 60,000 more shrouds to represent each of the 72,396 British servicemen whose bodies were never recovered from the Somme battlefields.
Taking five years to create, Rob's work is a feat of endurance and an act of humility. The idea for the artwork behind the shrouds, in which figures representing the dead are laid out in rows on the grass, came to him in 2013 while he was recovering from a car crash which damaged both his hands. He began thinking about military fatalities in history and how impossible it was to visualise the huge numbers involved.
Rob said, "The idea for stitching 72,000 shrouds came when a man at the display in Exeter told me that his great uncle was killed on the first day of the Somme but his body was never recovered. He said 'this feels like he is back on British soil for the first time in 100 years.' That got me thinking that if anybody should come home, it should be those whose bodies weren't recovered. Some were blown to bits, others buried where they lay with no known grave."
As he makes the shrouds, Rob refers to a list of names of the British servicemen recorded by the Commonwealth War Graves commission and engraved on the Thiepval Memorial in France. Each figure is associated with a name so that each one is individually acknowledged and remembered. Rob works his way down the list, crossing off a name for each figure created. He cuts and hand-stitches their calico shrouds, then covers and binds the figures in the shrouds in a ritual of creation, remembrance and personal introspection. As each figure is wrapped they take on their own form, twisting and bending into their own unique shape.
Chairman of The Shrouds of the Somme Committee, Commodore Jake Moores, said: "Rob's work is one of the most powerful acts of Remembrance I have seen throughout my military career. This exhibition touches the hearts of all those who are privileged to witness it."
We need the public's help to bring this important installation to London for the Centenary of the end of the war so that the nation can experience, unflinchingly, the true scale of the losses in an extraordinary display of remembrance. The Shrouds team have chosen to raise the money through crowdfunding because it is a communal effort towards a common aim. The money raised will pay for the figures, the calico shrouds and associated costs with the project. By raising funds in this way, we will collectively honour the men who made the ultimate sacrifice for our shared freedom.

Cool Crowdfunded Gear for Your Next Trip
From a heated jacket that keeps you cozy on Niseko's frigid slopes to a collapsible suitcase, crowdfunded swag is a boon for travelers everywhere. BY DIANA HUBBELL.
Published on Jul 25, 2016
SINCE THE LAUNCHES OF Indiegogo and Kickstarter in 2008 and '09, crowdfunding has gone from the kooky concept of gathering small amounts of money from a large group of people to launch a project or venture to a billiondollar business that's forever altering the way we travel. Thanks to this new pathway to start-up capital powering innovative individuals, there are more niche travel guidebooks, Bond-worthy gadgets and tricked-out accessories than ever before.
Would you want a jacket with a built-in inflatable neck pillow, eye mask, and all manner of specialized pockets designed to heat your hands, store your iPad or even hold your drink? Apparently 44,949 other people did. Their contributions earned the creators more than US$9 million, making this the most lucrative piece of clothing in crowdfunding history and the fourth most funded Kickstarter. Hiral Sanghavi, one of the two founders of the project, has referred to it previously as the "Swiss army knife of travel jackets." baubax.com.

Planning on a trek in Nepal or need to brave the wilds of Mongolia? This luxuriously fluffy, water-resistant, heated down jacket promises to keep you toasty in temperatures as low as -20 degree Celsius. Thanks to its lightweight design and adjustable settings, it's equally comfortable when the weather warms up. The best part? Despite all its electronic parts—it can charge your smartphone up to six times—you can wash all that grit off when you come home from your adventure without worrying because you can clean it by hand. ravean.com.
When Anna Chittenden, a wanderlust-happy London advertising exec, ditched her old office and set out for Southeast Asia, she began accumulating the kind of in-depth travel knowledge she wished were more readily available. To fill the perceived void, she launched her website, Lost Guides, in 2014 and then successfully crowdfunded a corresponding book about Bali. At 144 pages, her soft-cover guide is a slender, eminently packable counterpart to the glut of weighty tourism tomes and is "carefully curated so it only shows you the best bits," she says. "You'll be given a few favorite foodie hot spots to try, instead of a long list to wade through." Original photography complements her explorations of Seminyak, Canggu, the Bukit Peninsula, Nusa Lembongan and Ubud. thelostguides.com.

"I didn't want a vacation, but instead an expedition with the purpose of opening myself to what Japan had to offer," says Justine Wong, a freelance illustrator from Toronto who works for, among others, Lucky Peach. She enlisted the help of Kickstarter to help her fulfill her mission to depict her most memorable meals in a series of whimsical paintings. After exceeding her goal of US$4,000 by more than 50 percent in May 2015, she embarked on a three-week journey that resulted more than 80 dreamy watercolor renderings of bento boxes, sushi rolls and the most kawaii kitty cat-topped cups of coffee you ever did see. "I was very lucky to have met generous people who took me into their world of local food and places hidden within the depths of Tokyo." patternsandportraits.com/21daysinjapan.

If Batman hit the road, we're betting he and old Alfred would spring for this ultra-tough suitcase with impactresistant panels and all-terrain wheels made from the same durable material as a Glock. Specialized pockets for everything from a passport to a tablet, an optional charger that'll fully boost your iPhone up to 10 times, USB ports, a waterproof bottom, and a proximity tracker—in case some understandably envious fellow traveler tries to swipe it—help explain why this bag, which will be ready to ship this season, raised a whopping US$3.3 million on Kickstarter. g-ro.com.

Travelers have long had to choose between space-hogging, hard-shell suitcases and soft, crushable duffels. Néit, which totes itself as the world's first smart, collapsible luggage, eliminates the dilemma. Both the cabin and the checked bags feature a rugged, waterproof hard shell that collapses in less than 10 seconds to only 30 percent of its volume when not in use. Even the wheels fold in, reducing the width of the total package to a mere eight centimeters—perfect for hanging on its carabiner-style handle in a cramped apartment closet. As a bonus, a TSA-approved lock and optional GPS tracking makes it easy to keep your valuables safe and secure. neit.life.
In a more perfect world, we'd all get our daily jolt by sipping a single-origin flat white at our local third-wave café. Seriously, who has that sort of time these days? This ingenious little bracelet allows caffeine junkies to get their fix on the go and directly into the bloodstream. Fiendishly addictive? Probably, but for those of us who cannot make it through airport transit without an overpriced, designer coffee, this could be a godsend. igg.me/at/joule/x.
If a snowboarder makes a sweet jump and no one is there to like it on YouTube, did it really happen? Capturing action scenes has become a challenge for extreme sports enthusiasts. This South Korean waterproof three-axis gimbal, which easily attaches to just about any surface, keeps the camera stable to give your videos that pro feel. You can even control the camera angle wirelessly via Bluetooth. removu.com.

Some people heal faster than others, whether the problem is a complicated broken limb or something as painful as soft tissue damage. While the standard soft-tissue wound heals at a general rate of .75mm a day, the entire process can seem time-consuming for those who are impatiently waiting to get back out there and be active again.
The tissue repair healing process can be sped up slightly through a proper diet. Everyone knows that a balanced diet consists of the right proportions of dairy, vegetables, fruits and protein, but not many are aware that there are foods that can help soft tissue damage heal more quickly.
Foods with Anti-inflammatory Properties
Eating vegetables like spinach, kale and carrots, all of which have anti-inflammatory properties, will help you heal faster. Most people have heard of anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin and ibuprofen, but there are foods that will do the same thing. These anti-inflammatories reduce pain and make the swelling go down. You will suffer less, and heal quicker, as your tissue will repair itself more quickly when it is not swollen.
Other foods that are natural anti-inflammatories include onion, garlic, ginger, flaxseeds, cherries and pineapple. Some spices with these same properties are turmeric and cinnamon. Working some (if not all) of these into your regular diet will do a world of good for your tissue damage.
Reach for the Healing Vitamins
There are several vitamins that can help speed up the slow recovery process. These include Vitamin C, Zinc, and Vitamin A. Taking an over-the-counter supplement containing these vitamins will help, but finding foods that contain them is even better.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps improve collagen formation. It also helps repair skin, blood vessels and cartilage, among other things. It can be found in many fruits, especially tropical ones like oranges, grapefruits and lemons.
Other vitamins, like Zinc, directly help repair tissue. This mineral is found in seafood, lean red meats, and nuts. It also boosts the immune system and is known to speed up the healing process for wounds.
Specially fortified dairy products, leafy green vegetables (like spinach), and orange fruits and vegetables (like oranges and carrots) all contain Vitamin A. This vitamin is directly involved in soft tissue repair and formation. It also helps your skin repair itself, as well.
A High-Protein Diet Will Help Speed Things Up
All proteins contain amino acids. These amino acids are a necessary part of healing tissue damage and other wounds. Eating a diet that is high in protein – but not too high – will help you heal more quickly. Protein should consist of around 20% of your daily diet.
Too much protein can cause kidney damage and heart disease, especially if you eat the wrong types. Red meat has plenty of protein, but it is also high in cholesterol, which, in turn, can do more harm than good. Instead, balance your diet with a mix of both complete and incomplete amino acids.
Incomplete amino acids include foods like walnuts, peanuts, legumes, broccoli, cauliflower and asparagus. Proteins with complete amino acids are dairy products (yogurt, milk, cheese and eggs), poultry (chicken and turkey), fish, and lean red meats (choose Bison, if you have the chance.)
It is entirely possible to speed up the tissue healing process by eating foods that are naturally designed to boost your immune system, affect skin and tissue, and have anti-inflammatory properties. However, you still must maintain a balanced diet, otherwise these foods like not have the desired effect.

Graduation Day by zhijaab featuring a floor length skirt
It's that time of the year when High Schoolers make that much anticipated transition to College. I've put together a more feminine approach to a Graduation day dress which would also look great for Prom.
When using a more neutral outfit don't be afraid to add in color with your accessories and to your makeup look. I chose a printed hijab and a Marble Acrylic clutch to add an element of color to break away from the neutral beigey peach toned outfit. This is a more minimalistic yet feminine look so it's best to have only one or two key accessories.

Spicy Sweet Mango & Ginger Ice Cream Sandwiches
The last couple of weeks have been a doozy. I found out some company took one of my photos and was selling it in gift shops without my permission. I nearly cut my finger off while chopping some swiss chard. I came down with a cold. I battled insomnia. I burned my thumb on my lunch.
And now I'm throwing myself a fabulous pity party! Don't worry, you're totally invited.
The first (and only) dish at my pity party are these Mango & Ginger Ice Cream Sandwiches. The idea for these has been brewing in my head for a little while. Something about the combination of spicy ginger and creamy mango ice cream was just calling to me.
First, I made mango ice cream. I'm into altulfo mangoes (the little yellow ones) for their creamy sweetness and I'm into coconut milk in a big way lately, so that's what I used. It's a creamy, tangy dairy-free, egg-free tropical delight. You do need an ice cream maker to churn it, but it's not custard based so there's no cooking required. It literally comes together in minutes in your food processor or blender.
Pro tip: If you're OCD like me, store your ice cream in a baking pan so that you can use a cookie cutter for perfectly round ice cream sandwiches. Ahhhh symmetry.
While the mango ice cream is good, the cookies were definitely my favorite part. I used a twist on my favorite chewy sugar cookies. I was looking for a good amount of spice so I used 3 kinds of ginger: fresh minced, ground and candied. There's no molasses in these cookies because I wanted to taste the ginger, not molasses. The cookies are soft, chewy and pleasantly gingery. They're not as spicy as I had hoped, but they got rave reviews from everyone who tried them! I'll definitely be making them again.
The next obvious step was to sandwich them together. Creamy mango ice cream between two spicy sweet ginger cookies. I find them very cool and refreshing on a hot day. To appease my yearning for spiciness, I rolled the outside of my ice cream sandwiches in more chopped candied ginger. That added the zing I was hoping for!
Years ago, one of my readers pointed out that I make a LOT of chocolate recipes (naturally) and inquired if I ever made anything with mangoes. Dear reader, this one is for you!
Dairy-Free, Egg-Free Mango Ice Cream
Makes 3-4 cups
This ice cream comes together so fast, it's almost too easy. The hardest part is cutting the mangoes, which isn't really hard if you know how to do it. I like to cut mine like an avocado – score the insides, then scoop out with a spoon. Chef Allen Susser demonstrates how to cut a mango in this video.
2 large ripe altulfo mangos (about 1 pound), peeled and chopped
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups full-fat coconut milk
juice from 1 lime
pinch of salt
Puree mangoes in food processor or blender until smooth. Add sugar and puree for 30 seconds to 1 minute. With the processor / blender running, add coconut milk, lime juice, and salt. Blend until combined. Refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours.
Churn in ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions.
Spicy Chewy Ginger Cookies
Adapted from Cook's Illustrated
Makes about 24 cookies
As written, this recipe yields a pleasantly gingery cookie that will make people say, "What was in that?" (in a good way). Next time I think I will double the fresh ginger to get even more of a spicy bite to them.
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
2 1/4 cups (11 1/4 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 1/2 cups (10 1/2 ounces) sugar , plus 1/3 cup for rolling
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature and cut into 8 small pieces
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter , melted and still warm
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped candied ginger
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper.
Combine milk & ginger in a small glass. Heat in microwave for about 20 seconds. Set aside to steep.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and ginger. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and cream cheese. Whisk in warm melted butter. Add oil, egg, milk steeped with ginger, and vanilla extract. Whisk until combined. Fold in flour mixture with rubber spatula until incorporated and a soft dough forms. Fold in chopped candied ginger.
(If dough is too soft at this point, refrigerate it for 15-30 minutes until it firms enough to roll into balls.)
Place remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small bowl. Using a 1 1/2 Tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out 12 dough balls per baking sheet. Roll each dough ball in your hands, then roll in sugar to coat. Space about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.

That is so uncool (yet flattering) that a company would sell your photos without your permission. How did you find out? Your images are exquisite, but still. Not cool. Hope this week is better than the last.
This ice cream sounds soooo good, and the cookies seem like the perfect vehicle. I'm a total ginger freak, and that ingredient list looks killer. Mmmm. I should not read your blog when I'm hungry, it's pure torture. :)
June 17, 2013 2:31 pm
A fellow photographer tipped me off to the stolen photo (it's one of my nature photos, not one from this site). I'm so grateful photographers are such a friendly bunch! And yes, things are better and my pity party is over now. :) If you love ginger, you'll love those cookies for sure!

Dr. Charles Edwards II, Medical Director of The Maryland Spine Center at Mercy, treats scoliosis, osteoarthritis, spinal deformity and complex degenerative spine conditions in Baltimore.
Mercy doctors offer a breakthrough treatment for hepatitis C that cures most patients and saves lives. Hepatitis C is an infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus and can lead to permanent liver damage if untreated.
Named one of America's 100 Best Hospitals for Orthopedic Surgery and Spine Surgery, Mercy Medical Center is home to The Maryland Spine Center.

A lot of people, especially those who are involved in sports, suffer ankle injuries. They can be painful, frustrating and debilitating, but there are some new procedures that can make a world of difference.
Michelle Andes is the mother of an active 4-year-old boy, with another little boy on the way. The former collegiate softball player has always had issues with her ankles, and then in 2010, suffered an ankle injury.
"I ended up playing wally ball, which is volleyball on a racquetball court, had a really bad ankle sprain (and) tore all the ligaments on the outside of my ankle," Andes said.
Andrea had traditional surgery, but it didn't work for someone so active.
"It turned out that I couldn't run. My ankle would swell. Between trying to work out and do other things, I just couldn't handle the pain and swelling," Andes said.
So Andes came to see Dr. John Campbell, a top rated foot and ankle surgeon with The Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore, MD. He suggested a relatively new procedure involving something called biocartilage extracellular matrix.
"In layman's terms, that is a commercially available cartilage material from cadavers," Dr. Campbell. "It's almost like a powder. What we typically do is we mix that with the patient's own bone cells and bone marrow stem cells, which is a new technique, and to try to use the patient's own cells to use this as a graft, almost like a putty."
According to Dr. Campbell, the recovery can take a while up to six months to get back to full strength and mobility. Andes said it wasn't easy, but definitely worth it, especially with a new addition on the way.
"We're just in general a very go, go, go family. We're always at the park. We're always going to a ball game, so it'll be nice to be able to do, versus kind of stand around and watch," Andes said.
View Mercy's Dr. John Campbell's interview regarding biocartilage for ankle repair.

GONZALES — Gonzales High School girls tennis team completed the season by participating in the Mission Trail Athletic League Singles and Tournament on Nov. 1.
The Spartans took part in the tournament with two singles players and two doubles teams. Competing for Gonzales were: Athena Landeros and Bianca Sanchez (singles); and the doubles teams of Adilenne Ramirez and Valeria Reyes, and the team of Isabel Mendoza and Elizabeth Arreola.
Gonzales head coach Rene Mendez was pleased with the efforts of his players at the MTAL tournament in singles and doubles play.
"Athena Landeros was our number one player all year and this was her first year playing singles and she represented and player very well," said Mendez. "She never backed down and unfortunately drew one of the best players in the first round. Bianca Sanchez was the only senior on the team and was really nervous in the first set but played significantly better in the second set. She was our most consistent player all year and ended her high school tennis career with her head held high knowing she had left it all on the court. Adilenne Ramirez and Valeria Reyes played really well. They had points almost every game and just could not quite break through. Both Isabel (Mendoza), and Elizabeth (Arreola), played two and three singles all year and improved tremendously, so we are really looking forward to next year."
Mendez is optimistic that the Spartan tennis program can be a better team next year with the experience gained this season.
"With only one senior, we had a very young team," said Mendez. "Our top four played singles for the first time this year. Our doubles teams gained a lot of valuable experience, especially our #3 doubles team. Overall the team improved throughout the year and we are really looking forward to next year after we get realigned into a more competitive group of teams."
On Nov. 11 the Gonzales tennis team held an awards night and dinner at the Toots Vosti Recreation Center in Gonzales. Special guests at the event were Gonzales Mayor Maria Orozco, Assembly Member Anna Caballero, and Director of Student Affairs for Hartnell College, Bronwyn Moreno.
"Every year I invite successful women leaders to speak to the girls and share their story," said Coach Mendez. "This year I had Maria Orozco, Anna Caballero, and Bronwyn Moreno present to the girls. All three provided very powerful and moving messages to the girls about what they achieve, accomplish, and about overcoming adversity. The reason I do this is because high school sports while fun and important, what they learn along the way about themselves, team work, working hard, winning and losing with grace and dignity, and giving their best regardless of the outcome will last a lifetime. Every year I try to present them successful women as role models in the hopes that they are inspired and can see themselves and what is possible."

Morton?s neuroma occurs as the nerve passes under the ligament connecting the toe bones (metatarsals) in the forefoot. Morton?s neuroma most frequently develops between the third and fourth toes, usually in response to irritation, trauma or excessive pressure. The incidence of Morton?s neuroma is 8 to 10 times greater in women than in men.
Various factors have been implicated in the precipitation of Morton's neuroma. Morton's neuroma is known to develop as a result of chronic nerve stress and irritation, particularly with excessive toe dorsiflexion. Poorly fitting and constricting shoes (ie, small toe box) or shoes with heel lifts often contribute to Morton's neuroma. Women who wear high-heeled shoes for a number of years or men who are required to wear constrictive shoe gear are at risk. A biomechanical theory of causation involves the mechanics of the foot and ankle. For instance, individuals with tight gastrocnemius-soleus muscles or who excessively pronate the foot may compensate by dorsiflexion of the metatarsals subsequently irritating of the interdigital nerve. Certain activities carry increased risk of excessive toe dorsiflexion, such as prolonged walking, running, squatting, and demi-pointe position in ballet.
Symptoms associated with a neuroma include a dull burning sensation radiating towards the toes, a cramping feeling, or even a stinging, tingling sensation that can be described as being similar to an electric shock. It is often worse when wearing shoes with most people finding the pain disappears when removing their shoes.
The clinical symptoms should quickly lead your doctor to suspect a neuroma. When examined, the doctor may feel a "click" which is known as Mulder's sign. There may be tenderness in the interspace. The metatarsal bones will also be examined both clinically (and often with an xray). Tenderness at one of the metatarsal bones can suggest an overstress reaction (pre-stress fracture or stress fracture) in the bone. An ultrasound scan can confirm the diagnosis and is a less expensive and at this time, at least as sensitive a test as an MRI. An x-ray does not show neuromas, but can be useful to "rule out" other causes of the pain.
Non Surgical Treatment
Rest. Continuing with normal training will increase pain and inflammation and prevent the injury from healing. Wear a metatarsal pad under the forefoot which will raise and spread the bones of the forefoot taking the pressure off the nerve. Wearing metatarsal pads in the shoes under the forefoot spreads the metatarsals creating more space for the nerve. See a sports injury professional who can advise on treatment and rehabilitation. Orthotic inserts may be required to correct any biomechanical dysfunction of the foot.
Surgical Treatment
Should the problem have progressed beyond the point where these measures are sufficient, the podiatric professional may recommend surgery. This procedure involves excision of the involved nerve mass. This will relieve the pain. Many patients report permanent numbness in the spot formerly affected by the neuroma, but prefer it to the pain. Most surgeries are successful; unfortunately, there are cases where the patient suffers another neuroma, sometimes in or near the same spot as before. A podiatric professional can explain the statistics of recurrence in various cases. If you suspect a neuroma, don?t wait for it to get better on its own. The earlier the diagnosis, the higher the likelihood that it can be treated with conservative measures. Don?t think that foot pain of any kind is inevitable, either, even if it runs in your family.

On Being
[Unedited] Pádraig Ó Tuama with Krista Tippett
Pádraig Ó Tuama is a poet, theologian, and extraordinary healer in our world of fracture. He leads the Corrymeela community of Northern Ireland, a place that has offered refuge since the violent division that defined that country until the 1998 Good Friday Agreement. And Pádraig and Corrymeela extend a quiet, generative, and joyful force far beyond their northern coast to people around the world. "Over cups of tea, and over the experience of bringing people together," Pádraig says, it becomes possible "to talk with each other and be in the same room with the people we talk about." This interview is edited and produced with music and other features in the On Being episode "Pádraig Ó Tuama — Belonging Creates And Undoes Us Both." Find more at onbeing.org.
