Elephant inscribed with names of loved ones in Leicester
She added: "As names are added, the artwork becomes a beautiful commemoration to all the special people we miss."
'Lovely tribute'
LOROS worked with Wild in Art to create the trail for its 40th anniversary.At the end of the 10-week trail, the 40 elephant sculptures will be auctioned, with proceeds going to the hospice.Andrew Ward, events lead at LOROS, said: "Elephants never forget, and neither do we. "Everyone at a hospice knows how important happy memories are, providing comfort in recollections after they have gone. "We hope Remember Me is a lovely tribute to those we hold dearly."
LOROS recently announced that due to a funding shortfall it would be cutting inpatient ward beds, day therapy and other services for patients and families.The hospice added the decision came after a "perfect storm" of increased running costs, a reduction of income and a rise in demand from an ageing population.But it said it hoped the changes would "secure its long-term future".

Psychotherapist reveals key warning sign that your everyday stress is about to tip you over the edge, triggering a mental breakdown
It's hard not to feel completely overwhelmed by life at times, but a psychotherapist has shared the one of the critical warning signs that you've gone from worrying about things at a normal level to developing full blown anxiety. Anxiety is a natural reaction to stress and uncertainty, and can be triggered from anything between making presentation at work to proposing to the love of your life. But while the feeling of 'nerves' usually subside after the completion of the stressful event, sometimes the anxiety lingers, and for some people, it becomes louder and louder until performing basic tasks becomes an exhausting—and sometimes scary—uphill struggle. Therapist Clare Patterson, who is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), describes anxiety as when 'the body's alarm system [is] stuck in the 'on' position—without a clear, present danger.' But how do you know that your normal worrying levels have got out of control? Ms Patterson shared eight warning signs that you might be heading towards developing a serious mental illness. Speaking to The Sun, she said one of the biggest red flags is catastrophising, when you focus on what could go wrong, or you're obsessing about future events which are totally out of your control. 'You might be trying to focus at work but your mind is pinging from, "I forgot to book the dentist" to "Do I have cancer?" to "I should drink more water", all in 30 seconds.' She added: 'You might lie awake at 2am thinking, "What if I lose my job? What if I can't pay the mortgage? What if I end up homeless?", even when nothing has changed at work. 'You may also catastrophise, always assuming the worst-case scenario. For example, your partner doesn't reply to a message for a few hours and your brain jumps to, "They're in a crash" or "They're leaving me". 'You may also be in a meeting and notice every change in someone's tone, face or body language, and be convinced it means something bad about you.' Catastrophising can leave someone feeling permanently overwhelmed, and cause them to withdraw from their loved ones and routines, which are both other symptoms the mental health expert pinpointed. 'For people with an anxiety disorder, the excessive stress hormones can feel is not "all in their heads". It is a very real, physiological response. 'A low-level fear with no clear object, like waking up with a pit in your stomach for no reason, just a vague feeling something is going to go wrong today, is also common. 'Some people also find their anxiety is internalised and they keep thinking, "What is wrong with me?" 'You might cancel plans because you're feeling overwhelmed, then spend hours criticising yourself for being "flaky" or "too sensitive".' Ms Patterson added that feelings of indecisiveness and perfectionism can also be warning signs that your worrying is getting unhealthy. She said: 'This often leads a person to second guess even small decisions, like what to wear or what to say in a text. 'Anxiety can lead to perfectionism and procrastination, putting off work because it's never quite good enough.' Other signs manifest physically; tension in the body, and restlessness. Ms Patterson said that people who lack 'coping mechanisms'— are at risk of their anxiety becoming out of control. She defines a coping mechanism as steps someone can take to 'feel safe', which might include positive self-talk, seeking out a familiar face at a party or event, or focusing on their breathing. But people who are very anxious can find themselves falling into a panic attack. She said: 'The rational part of their brain may be overwhelmed by the anxiety and so they exist in a fight/flight/freeze state where there is a lack of trust in themselves to cope and manage. 'This can trigger even more anxiety, sending them into a spiral, and even lead to physical symptoms including panic attacks, headaches and dizziness.' It's estimated that 8 million Britons are living with anxiety, and NHS trusts across the UK are struggling to provide suitable support. In February, after analysing NHS stats, Rethink Mental Illness found that the longest waits for mental health care are over two years (658 days), more than twice as long as the ones for people needing elective physical health treatment (299 days). The delays in treatment have seen people turning to online therapy providers, mindfulness self-help books, and in the case of Gen Z, crafting. Findings from The Power of Making report, commissioned by Hobbycraft and in partnership with mental health charity Mind, surveyed nearly 6,000 people nationwide and found that younger people are turning to crochet and pottery kits to try and calm their anxious minds.

Diamonds could help detect cancer using groundbreaking new technique
Scientists have developed a diamond -based sensor that could make it easier for doctors to detect the spread of cancer. Researchers at the University of Warwick have created a handheld device that is designed to trace tiny magnetic particles injected into the body. The scientists said this offers a non-toxic alternative to radioactive tracers and dyes currently used in hospitals. Metastasis, when cancer cells spread from the original tumour to other parts of the body, is one of the most serious challenges in cancer treatment. Doctors often rely on tests to see whether the cancer has reached the lymph nodes – the areas of tissue that filter fluid in your body for harmful substances – which can guide decisions about surgery and further care. The findings, published in Physical Review Applied, describe how diamonds can be used to build a highly sensitive sensor capable of identifying the magnetic tracer fluid injected into a tumour. This fluid, made up of iron oxide nanoparticles, travels through the body alongside cancer cells, revealing whether they have reached the lymph nodes, the researchers said. Lead author Alex Newman, a PhD student in Warwick University's physics department, said the new tool could improve the way doctors find cancer in keyhole and endoscopic surgery. 'There is a real demand for versatile non-toxic means of finding cancer,' he said. 'For this new diamond-based sensor, we managed to get the size of the sensor head down to just 10 millimetres, which means it is the first diamond sensor to be able to detect magnetic tracer fluid while being small enough for endoscopic use and keyhole surgery.' Mr Newman added that the device was extremely sensitive, capable of detecting just one hundredth of the typical dose of magnetic tracer fluid. The design uses a diamond measuring only half a cubic millimetre alongside a small permanent magnet, the scientists said They added that this compact structure means there is no need for bulky electronics, allowing the sensor to be used by hand in operating rooms. Professor Gavin Morley, who leads the research group, said the breakthrough was possible thanks to nitrogen vacancy centres inside the diamond. 'These allow the diamond to detect very small changes in the magnetic field and give the diamonds a lovely pink colour,' he said. He added that the technology could also have uses beyond medicine, including in spacecraft and fusion power. Current techniques for tracing cancer cells rely on radioactive tracers, which not all hospitals can access, or blue dyes, which trigger allergic reactions in some patients, the researchers said. Clinicians involved in this new project believe the new diamond sensor could help avoid these complications. Stuart Robertson, a consultant breast cancer surgeon at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, said he was already using magnetic localisation in his work. He added that it offers more advantages over traditional techniques. Researchers say the device could eventually be applied to various cancers, including lung, liver, colorectal and oesophageal tumours.

Fears for Windermere as tests reveal chemical pollution
Volunteers testing the water quality of Windermere have found 'really concerning' pollution in England's largest and most famous lake. The analysis, in which 350 'citizen scientists' took samples of water at more than 100 locations around the lake, found 'hotspots' of phosphorus, which causes algal blooms, and two types of bacteria that cause illness. Co-ordinated by the Freshwater Biological Association and the University of Lancaster, the Big Windermere Survey was intended to fill gaps in monitoring by the Environment Agency (EA) to give a clearer picture of the health of the lake at a time when the government has committed to clean it up. The EA examines water quality at four locations around the lake during the summer months as part of its bathing water assessments. In its last classification all four received 'excellent' ratings. However, the more extensive testing by volunteers revealed a different picture. While Windermere's overall levels of bacteria are low enough to give it a 'good' water quality rating, they worsen in the summer. The northeast, northwest and southwest areas recorded levels that would earn them a 'poor' or failing rating from the EA. Bacteria can enter the lake from many sources, including from livestock, leaky septic tanks and untreated sewage. The Save Windermere and Windrush Against Sewage Pollution groups counted a record-breaking 140 days last year when United Utilities discharged untreated sewage into the lake. Testing the lake between June 2022 and November last year, the volunteers also found that all sampled areas had too much phosphorus to earn a 'good' water quality rating. Phosphorus is one of the key nutrients that have caused the lake to turn green with algae in recent summers. In 2023 the EA estimated that sewage was the source of slightly more than half of the lake's phosphorus, while the rest was run-off from surrounding settlements. The Freshwater Biological Association is calling on the EA to increase testing and to investigate the pollution hotspots urgently. It also wants to see further investment in wastewater treatment facilities. • Swimmers fear Windermere's toxic, polluted water: 'We won't be coming back' Simon Johnson, its executive director, said: 'The evidence is clear. I hope that these results will spur people on into better and faster action to rejuvenate this incredible place. When you see a place you love so much, that is so important; when the water quality of that place is below what I think society expects and demands, then that's really concerning. If we can't get this right on Windermere, where are we going to do it?' The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said: 'This government shares the nation's fury at unacceptable levels of pollution pumped into this national treasure. We have committed to ending sewage pollution into Windermere entirely, boosted monitoring of sewage spills nationwide and are increasing enforcement to hold polluting companies to account. 'We know that there is a lot of damage to undo, but we are getting on with the work to ensure that the British people will be able to see genuine results.'
