Do you ever feel like you're going through life in a superficial way?
When work brings so many tasks to fill up your to-do list, there's little space for you to dig deep into your thoughts, feelings or dreams.
But starting a self-exploration routine and cultivating self-mastery can bring invaluable benefits to your leadership. Not only do you strengthen your self-esteem, you show up as authentic and human.
See, the fundamental rule of leadership is: if you want others to trust you, you need to trust yourself first. That's why to starting a self-exploration routine can greatly help your leadership.
Aristotle said "knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom". Here are 10 ways to start a self-exploration routine.
Managers often measure their lives on a scale of professional achievement.
Leaders start a self-exploration routine to engage in continuous life assessments.
Try the one from the book "Designing your life". Take stock of your current situation in work, love, health and play (yes!). Draw a scale from 0 to "full" and rate.
What did you find? How do you think these results affect the way you lead others? What needs improvement?
It's simple. What do you stand for? What makes you different from other people?
Your values are the guiding principles that drive the way you work. Better to make your values mean something so that you can stand by your convictions.
Living by their values sets great leaders apart from the crowd. And this is precisely the reason why they inspire others.
Taking the lead = taking action. Grab my FREE e-book and discover 3 practical steps to build trust in yourself and inspiration in others.
Journaling is the easiest way to start a self-exploration routine. It can be a safe outlet for your most intimate frustrations. It can be a way to reflect and think deeply about your life intentions. And yes, journaling does make better leaders.
Journaling is a time to process emotions and internalise what happens in your life. It's a gate-opener to change what you're not happy with about yourself.
If you don't know where you're going, how do you know you're walking in the right direction?
When you start a self-exploration routine, you strengthen your sense of purpose. And it's handy: a personal mission statement will re-energise you towards your greater mission at difficult times.
What are your drivers for your team work? What is the North Star that will guide you on your journey? It can be as simple as "Make people work together. Happily" (that's mine btw).
You can start with a step as small as delegating a simple task (sending a team member to represent you at a meeting is my favourite one). You can be vulnerable and open up about something that worries you, asking your team if they share the feeling.
Part of a self-exploration routine is to challenge yourself and do it.
Then record what you learned from it.
And do it again tomorrow or next week.
If you *know* what you need to learn… the only remaining step is to plan for it!
People who write their personal development plans are 1.2 to 1.4 times more likely to achieve their goals.
So bookmark this post about how to achieve your self-development goals and get started!
Could you describe the "you" you'll be in a couple of years?
But if you were asked what your journey would look like on screen, that would take real dimension.
One playful way to start a self-exploration routine is to write the movie of your life. Will it be a drama? A thriller? A comedy? What is your own main character doing?
You get the point. The movie has to be entertaining and have a hero to make sense of the good and bad moments.
So what does your inner hero need to learn?
Because you probably don't notice… but you project them everywhere.
When you don't address you major limitations, you're likely to develop a biased view and create a self-fulfilling prophecy. So replace limiting beliefs with enabling beliefs.
It takes honesty to start a self-exploration routine. What are the reasons you tell yourself to act or not to act? Where do they come from? Childhood? Teenage years? If your mental patterns come from your younger self, it might be time to assess if they're still suitable for the adult you are.
No one has the monopoly on great ideas. Ever.
Leave your statements alone for a while and work with open questions instead. Can you make it a habit to hear others' opinions? How does it enrich your knowledge, attitude or yourself generally? What impact does it have on collaboration and communication?
From a leadership standpoint, you saw me coming: give and ask for feedback.
Yes, you think they're cliché (and some really are).
But take the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) or Gallup's Strengthsfinder. They will give you precious insights on your strengths and how the rest of the world sees you.
Such results are handy when you need to assess if it's the right time to play your hand. But what if it's not?
Maybe it's time to let others step in. A wise leader knows exactly the right moments to step in to make an impact. Get your insights sharpened!
Knowing yourself is an important part of your leadership journey.
Getting other people to follow you and inspire them is all about you being human, relatable, and confident to share your perspective on work and sometimes life!
There are simple ways to start a self-exploration routine and trigger inner change. But why not try something completely different?
Since last year, I have been teaching yoga to adults with disabilities. It's been leadership training on steroids. And a massive lesson in empathy that drove me to reflect deeply on my values and attitude towards others.
There's definitely one thing that can teach you more about yourself than any other training. So it's time to go get it!

James Sugrue wins at the 22nd to keep his South title hopes alive at Lahinch
Kilkenny's Mark Power, Rowan Lester from Hermitage and Dundalk's Caolan Rafferty all impress in the afternoon to get through
Fri, Jul 27, 2018, 21:39
Brian Keogh
James Sugrue knows he may have to become the first man for 55 years to retain the South of Ireland Amateur Open if he wants to force his way into the Irish team for next month's Home Internationals
Self-belief and persistence proved invaluable to defending champion James Sugrue as he battled back from the brink to win at the 22nd and keep his title hopes alive at the South of Ireland Amateur Open at Lahinch, Co Clare.
On a day when Castle's Alex Gleeson and Naas's Jonathan Yates bowed out of the Pierse Motors Volkswagen-sponsored championship, the 22-year-old Mallow star knows he may have to become the first man for 55 years to retain the title if he wants to force his way into the Irish team for next month's Home Internationals.
After beating Royal Portrush's Jack Madden 3&1 in round one, he had to come back from two down with three to play against Knock's Ross Latimer in the afternoon to force extra holes, before eventually winning on the fourth tie hole.
He won the 16th in par and the 18th with a birdie to draw level, then dodged a bullet at the 19th, racing his third from the back of the green more than 20 feet past the hole before making the return.
After halving the 20th in birdie, he watched Latimer salvage a half from eight feet at the 21st, before chipping to three feet to set up a winning birdie four at the Klondyke during a heavy downpour.
"I didn't think I'd get that far, to be honest," said a relieved Sugrue. "When I was two down with three to play I thought I was in trouble because I was two or three under but he was holing putt after putt.
"I felt I was playing too solidly and would have been disappointed to lose. But I eventually hit a few good shots and closed it out."
'One shot at a time'
Set to face Forrest Little's Jack McDonnell in the last 16 on Saturday, he added: "The furthest I went in any match last year was the 18th in the first round, so it's a relief, absolutely. I'll try now to make sure I just take it one shot at a time and not get ahead of myself, because if you start looking ahead that's when you get in trouble."
Sugrue is joined in the third round by Douglas's Peter O'Keeffe, who fell to the Mallow player in last year's semi-finals. The 36-year-old Corkman was two down after 12 holes to Dún Laoghaire's Marc Nolan in the morning, but played the back nine in five-under par to win by two holes.
In the afternoon he was up against South Africa visitor Gregory Royston, but this time he controlled the ball beautifully all the way through to win. Three up after nine, he went five up after 11 holes, but after losing the 12th, 13th and 15th to birdies, the Blackpool-based strength and conditioning coach won the 16th to close out the match 3&2.
Kilkenny's Mark Power, 2016 runner-up Rowan Lester from Hermitage and Dundalk's Caolan Rafferty were all impressive in the afternoon as they cruised through.
Lester beat Birr's Michael Horan 3&2 in the first round before playing the first five holes on the back nine in six-under-par to beat Laytown and Bettystown's David Foy 6&4, with the highlight a three-wood to eight feet that set up an eagle two at the risk-reward 13th.
But there was no luck for an out-of-sorts Gleeson as he fell 4&3 to Carton House's Keith Egan or fellow senior panellist Yates, who lost on the 18th after Dún Laoghaire's Alan Fahy rallied with three closing birdies.

LEFTFIELD - Neil Barnes and Paul Daley - one of electronic music's all time greatest acts - has announced the release of Leftism 22, a very special reissue of their seminal debut album Leftism, which will be available to May 5, 2017 via Sony CG.
Leftfield was formed in 1989, before emerging publicly in 1990 with "Not Forgotten," a song that established a template for a new strain of British house music, leaning away from American styles dominating UK clubs. Released in January 1995, their debut album Leftism remains one of the defining statements of dance music, a gloriously inter-woven bombardment of musical styles and immaculate grooves, nominated for a Mercury Prize and later voted in the top ten greatest albums of all time by readers of Q Magazine. The album spawned numerous hit singles in "Open Up" - their now legendary collaboration with John Lydon, "Original" featuring Curve's Toni Halliday, "Release the Pressure" featuring Earl Sixteen, and "Afro-Left" with vocals by Neil Cole a.k.a. Djum Djum.
Leftism 22 arrives 22 years on from the release of the acclaimed original, in a remastered version overseen by Leftfield's Neil Barnes (who now runs the band solo) and Paul Daley. It will be available in a limited edition 3xLP vinyl, mirroring the original release and will include download codes for the remastered album and new mixes will be included. Plus digital and 2xCD editions that will feature the original album remastered, as well as all 11 original tracks remixed by a host of artists, including Skream , Adrian Sherwood, BodyJack and Voiski, making 22 tracks in total.
Throughout the 90s Leftfield were untouchable live and on record, starting a snowball rolling for British dance music alongside outfits like Orbital, Underworld and the Dust / Chemical Brothers in breaking electronic music from the underground, onto the stage and into the charts.
They have always been regarded as one of electronic music's defining live acts. The now-infamous Liveism tour that followed Leftism's release set a new precedent in sonic presentation as the behemoth sound system, which aimed to replicate the cataclysmic bass effect of reggae sound systems, incurred more complaints than Motörhead, and a ban from Brixton Academy when plaster started flaking from the ceiling. The tour elevated dance music from anonymous club PA to major event, with guest vocalists joining the party.

What Young People Need to Thrive
Leveraging the Strengthening Families Act to Promote Normalcy
By the Annie E. Casey Foundation

In This Report, You'll Learn
How normalcy is important to overall healthy development and well-being for young people transitioning from foster care to adulthood.
What young people believe promotes or detracts from a sense of normalcy in foster care.
How the Strengthening Families Act can expand developmentally appropriate opportunities for young people.
What policy and practice already exists in some states that embrace normalcy for young people in foster care.
Findings & Stats
Statements & Quotations
Copyright, Citation and Usage
This brief highlights the importance of typical experiences, or normalcy, to the overall healthy development of young people in foster care: how young people view normalcy and foster care — what they wish for, the barriers they face and their recommendations; suggestions for how to leverage the Strengthening Families Act for significant improvements in child welfare systems, creating a more supportive and normal environment for all young people; and strategies from the field that can serve as examples.

Early Examples from the Field
Maximizing a New Opportunity
Public systems are implementing the Strengthening Families Act in many different ways. This brief provides context and inspiration from the voices of youth themselves to help guide the actions of these systems.
Peer Pride
Peer relationships are one of the most important and normal relationships that an adolescent can have.
Normalcy Barriers
Barriers to normalcy identified by foster youth include the lack of decision-making opportunities, heightened scrutiny, lack of funds and transportation, and the stigma of foster care.
Testing Limits
Being a normal adolescent means trying out new things and sometimes making mistakes. A key to healthy adolescent development is experimentation with friends and testing boundaries.
Unnecessary LImitations
More than four out of 10 children in group placements have no mental health diagnosis, medical disability or behavioral problem that might warrant such a restrictive setting.
Individual Input
Under the Strengthening Families Act, foster youth ages 14 and older are able to select up to two individuals who are not a foster parent or caseworker to be a part of their case planning team.
I felt normal the day I was in my foster home and my foster parent came to me and said that I am now a part of their family and I could call her mom and I am now her son. Everything else didn't matter. She treated me as if I was her own son by taking me out to eat and buying me nice things and spending quality time with me and even introducing me to people as her son. It felt so good to feel wanted.
– Justin
One of my foster moms had adult children with kids. After multiple months of living with this foster mom, one of her kids called me and asked me to babysit her two girls and said she'd pay me. I could hardly believe it. That's the moment where I really felt connected to the family, because of the obvious trust and that I was thought of first before anyone else.

An English proficiency report carried out by Education First, world's largest education firm headquartered in Switzerland, ranked Kingdom of Morocco on 3rd position based on its English ability.
As reported by EF English Proficiency 2013, among 11 Arab countries included under Middle East and North Africa Rankings, Iran got the 1st position, followed by Turkey, Morocco on the 3rd place, Qatar on 4th and Syria occupied the 5th Rank.
On the global rank of 54 countries using a sample of under 2 million people, Morocco laid on the 34th position.
The 2013 ranking result might be a bombshell in Arabs circle who are assuming that Moroccans are less skilled in English than in Spanish or French.
However, to a lot of Moroccans, it isn't a surprise, because it shows the tradition of Moroccan people and willingness to always learn foreign languages to be able to open up to the world and commune with communities coming from a variety of backgrounds.
EF English Proficiency Index survey, launched in 2011, is founded on a "standard measurement of adult's English proficiency, comparative to countries and over time.
EF EPI is the first index that measures an adult's average English language ability in different countries where English is being taught as a foreign language.


LS: What direction do you see classical music taking in the next twenty years with respect to the symphony model as a sustainable institution ? What direction should it be taking?
DC: The most important thing is that music at its best is a glorious thing. You have a lot of good music, some great music, but great music when everything comes together with great performers is something truly special. So the very important thing for anybody who is broaching this question to realize is that the music has survived centuries. The music that the world knows and loves is wonderful, and just because some organizations have faced challenges with audiences, doesn't mean that other people can't fall in love with this music.
I don't see any issue with the product itself. We need advocates who believe in the validity of the art form. So in terms of is classical music sustainable in the future? Well, it has to be because we love and believe the artform. Is the current symphony model sustainable? That's harder to say because I don't' deal on a daily basis with the actual economics of it. But what I do feel is that what we need to look at is how classical music is presented, not in a way that dumbs down the music, not in a way that lessens the product, but in a way that provides different point of access for the audience.
LS: What role does inter-disciplinary collaboration take in the future of classical music? Any examples of this currently at the forefront of the arts scene?
DC: I think inter-disciplinary collaboration is important to remember. Dance without music is something that almost never happens. Opera itself is by nature is an interdisciplinary action. You have singing with music, which is combined with acting and drama, combined with dancing as well. I think part of the key here, is that music is woven into so much of our existence already. We need ways to remind people that's it's an essential part of our being. In the last twenty years, symphony orchestras have been playing movie soundtracks for pops concert. Video games, Star Wars. But it's a way to appeal to audiences. That's not new. We're looking for ways to connect serious film and find out where serious music intersects, rather than just playing a soundtrack. These are intriguing to new audience members. As human beings we have a tendency to plug the same formula back in unless it's broken...hoping that it will start running again. That's human nature. My point is, if you're willing to think outside the box, you make new audiences. The symphonic model has evolved to where it is for certain reasons, but every once in awhile you need a leader who has a real vision about these things. The people in the organization have to be able to see the vision and the possible wisdom of it even though it may seem like a risk.
LS: How has multi-media industry changed the way audiences perceive classical music?
DC: Globally, that's done a lot of good. Because people who would ordinarily have no access to see the MET, can do so. On the other hand, I do think that it's hurt our live audience, in that a lot of people who do have the means to fly to New York maybe aren't' doing that as much now. It's always been a certain significant part of our audience has been tourist audience. No matter how well the multi-media is produced, there is no substitute for live music. The way sound is heard in 3 dimensions in person, is just not the same. My fear is that generations who are not growing up with live-music making in the long run, will affect their expectations of live music. I've experienced that with the current generation of music students in my own teaching. When I was little, I grew up with LP's. Those were of course limited recordings. But when I wanted to see video, I had to see VHS. I had to go to live performances. Nowadays, I encounter music students at a very high level, but they have had very little exposure to live performances. Even if one understand intellectually that these recordings have been edited, many students think " I've heard someone do that, therefore I should be able to do that perfectly. But that's not the case.
LS: What steps should millennials be taking now to keep interest for classical music afloat?
DC: The problem is we've always had a larger supply than demand. But I think what the current generation can do, is to think of new points of access, if we're talking about the same classical music but new ways to present it in non-traditional concert venues, to draw attention to it. This generation knows what this generation likes, so who would be better equipped than someone who is in this generation to think outside the box? That's what each successive generation's role can be. One thing I want to make clear is, all of us who fell in love with classical music there was something that gripped us originally. If you give people a diluted version of any of that, maybe it's not so gripping. There are people for whom, it's a certain piece or performer who captivates them. It's like wine for example. There was a certain great wine that captured their imagination. If you only have only boxed wine, it won't capture anybody's imagination. Music is the same way. The tricky thing is how are you going to present first rate talent playing classics in a new way. The good news is you don't need a million of those people. You just need a couple.
DC: I think they have to. I think they're an essential part of our being, as long as there are people.

According to specialists, bowel cancer patients may avoid the need for colostomy bags if they are first treated by having an expandable tube inserted at the site of their blockage.
The new approach, presented at this year's American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting in Chicago – the worlds' biggest cancer conference – showed that the tube, or stent, cut the risk of complications from surgery.
Experts said colostomy bags, to collect faeces, often frightened patients.
Globally, nearly 1.4 million cases of bowel cancer are diagnosed each year.
This unplanned surgery has a much higher risk of complications compared with routine surgery.
The patient is often in worse health, the swelling caused by the blockage can mean keyhole surgery is not possible so more invasive surgery is needed and there may not be a colorectal specialist surgeon on hand.
The death rate goes up from 2% for planned surgery to 12% in emergency bowel cancer surgery.
After removing the tumor and surrounding bowel, surgeons are also less likely to be able to re-plumb the bowels.
One part of the colon is often hugely distended and the other collapsing in on itself. If it cannot be put back together properly, the risk of needing a colostomy bag soars.
A trial on 250 patients was organized by Cancer Research UK. Half were treated with conventional surgery, but the others had a novel procedure to unblock the bowels.
Surgeons used an endoscope to find the precise location of the blockage and then positioned a stent at the site of obstruction.
When inserted, the tube is just 3mm in diameter. But over 48 hours it expands in response to body heat until it reaches 2.5cm in diameter, creating a new clear passageway through the intestines.
The tumor is then removed once the bowels have healed and the patient has recovered from the blockage.
There was no difference in survival rates between the procedures, but the difference in the need for a colostomy bag was stark.
In the emergency patients, 69% needed a bag to rid their bodies of faeces.
In those treated with the stent, the figure was 45%, according to data presented at the ASCO Annual Meeting.
Prof. James Hill, who led the trial at Central Manchester University Hospitals, said: "Traditionally doctors have worried that unblocking the bowel in this way could increase the chance of cancer spreading, but our early results don't show this.
"We're also pleased to see that this could be a way of reducing the risk of patients needing a colostomy bag after their surgery, which is a huge improvement to patients' day-to-day lives.
"These are early results and we'll need to follow up our work for three years in full to find out if this technique affects survival and end-of-life care for bowel cancer patients."
WHO: Processed Meat Causes Cancer and Is as Bad as Smoking
According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, processed meats – such as bacon, hot dogs, sausages and ham – do cause cancer.
The WHO's report said 50g of processed meat a day – less than two slices of bacon – increased the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18%.
Meanwhile, the health agency said red meats were "probably carcinogenic" but there was limited evidence.
The WHO did stress that meat also had health benefits.
Processed meat is meat that has been modified to increase its shelf-life or alter its taste – such as by smoking, curing or adding salt or preservatives.
It is these additions which could be increasing the risk of cancer. High temperature cooking, such as on a barbeque, can also create carcinogenic chemicals.
The WHO has come to the conclusion on the advice of its International Agency for Research on Cancer, which assesses the best available scientific evidence.
The International Agency for Research has now placed processed meat in the same category as plutonium, but also alcohol as they definitely do cause cancer.
However, this does not mean they are equally dangerous. A bacon sandwich is not as bad as smoking.
"For an individual, the risk of developing colorectal [bowel] cancer because of their consumption of processed meat remains small, but this risk increases with the amount of meat consumed," Dr. Kurt Straif from the WHO said.
Estimates suggest 34,000 deaths from cancer every year could be down to diets high in processed meat.
That is in contrast to one million deaths from cancer caused by smoking and 600,000 attributed to alcohol each year.
Red meat does have nutritional value too and is a major source of iron, zinc and vitamin B12.
However, the WHO said there was limited evidence that 100g of red meat a day increased the risk of cancer by 17%.
The WHO said its findings were important for helping countries give balanced dietary advice.
WHO to Reveal Red Meat Cancer Risk
The World Health Organization (WHO) is to reveal whether some meats should be classed as carcinogens.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer, which is part of the WHO, has been reviewing evidence on whether red and processed meats increase the risk of bowel and other cancers.
According to experts, eating a lot of red and processed meat probably increases the risk of bowel cancer.
However, red meat can be part of a healthy diet.
Red meat includes beef, lamb, and pork. It looks darker in color than white meat, like poultry, because of higher levels of hemoglobin and myoglobin, the iron and oxygen-binding proteins you find in blood and muscle.
Processed meat is not fresh meat, in other words something has been done to it to extend its shelf life or change its taste such as smoking, curing or adding salt or preservatives.
Processed meat includes bacon, sausages, salami and ham. Simply putting fresh meat through a mincer does not make it processed
Meat is a good source of protein, B vitamins and minerals such as iron and zinc.
Expert scientists' advice is to consume healthier meat or meat products, such as lean cuts and lean mince, and cut down on processed meat.
Since 1971, more than 900 agents, including lifestyle factors and chemicals, have been evaluated by expert scientists for the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
More than 400 have been identified as carcinogenic, probably carcinogenic, or possibly carcinogenic to humans.
Bacon, ham and sausages are set to be classed alongside cigarettes, arsenic and asbestos as cancer-causing by global health experts.
Teenage Obesity Linked to Colorectal Cancer
A new study suggests that teenage obesity is linked to a greater risk of bowel cancer later in life.
The study, published in the journal Gut, followed 239,658 Swedish men for 35 years. The young men were conscripted into the military aged 16 to 20 years old.
The analysis, led by Orebro University Hospital in Sweden and Harvard University, showed overweight teenagers went on to have twice the risk of bowel cancer. The figures were even higher in obese teens.
Teenage boys who become very obese may double their risk of getting bowel cancer by the time they are in their 50s.
The study and researchers were funded by the National Cancer Institute, Harvard School of Public Health, Örebro University and the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
The World Cancer Research Fund said the link between obesity and cancer was "strong".
Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in the world, with nearly 1.4 million new cases each year.
Processed red meat and abdominal fat have been linked to the disease.
The overwhelming majority of participants were a normal weight, but 6.5% were overweight and 1% were obese.
There were 855 cases of colorectal cancer in the study.
However, the results showed not all weights were affected equally.
Those who were obese were 2.38 times more likely to have developed a bowel tumor.
The study said: "Late adolescence marks the transition from childhood to adulthood and is a period of accelerated growth, especially among men, thus this period may represent a critical window.
"It is important that we understand the role of exposures in childhood and adolescence in the development of colorectal cancer.
"In fact, the strong association observed between adolescent obesity and early-to-mid-life colorectal cancer [CRC], coupled with the increasing prevalence of adolescent obesity, may shed light on the increase in colorectal cancer incidence among young adults."
Being obese and having long-lasting (chronic) signs of inflammation in the body as an adult have been linked to increased bowel cancer risk. Adolescents with "high" levels of inflammation were more likely to develop bowel cancer than those with "low" levels.
The marker (or sign) of inflammation the researchers had information on was the erythrocyte (red blood cell) sedimentation rate, or ESR. This measurement increases when there is inflammation.
However, few of the studies have assessed the effect of obesity in adolescence specifically, and none have been said to look at the impact of inflammation in adolescence.
The researchers concluded that, "late-adolescent BMI and inflammation, as measured by ESR, may be independently associated with future CRC risk".
Daily aspirin can reduce bowel, stomach and esophageal cancer deaths by 40%
Taking aspirin every day can reduce the chance of developing or dying from bowel and stomach cancers, a Queen Mary University of London research team reports in the Annals of Oncology.
Scientists examined some 200 studies investigating the benefits and harms of taking aspirin – an area of continuing medical debate.
They found the drug reduced the number of cases and deaths from bowel, stomach and esophageal cancer by some 30-40%.
There was weaker and more variable evidence that the drug reduced deaths from breast, prostate and lung cancer too.
And the study found people needed to take the drug for at least five years to see any benefits.
Prof. Jack Cuzick, at Queen Mary University of London, who led the research, urged all healthy people aged 50 and above to consider taking a small dose (75mg) of the drug every day for a decade.
Taking aspirin every day can reduce the chance of developing or dying from bowel and stomach cancers
Researchers predicted if 1,000 individuals aged 60 took the drug for 10 years, a further decade later there would be:
16 fewer deaths from cancer
One fewer death from heart attack
Two extra deaths from bleeding
Prof. Jack Cuzick, who has been taking aspirin for four years, said: "Whilst there are some serious side-effects that can't be ignored, taking aspirin daily looks to be the most important thing we can do to reduce cancer after stopping smoking and reducing obesity, and will probably be much easier to implement."
They found benefits continued even when people stopped taking the drug, but say it is unclear exactly how long people should use it for.
As the risk of internal bleeding rises as an individual gets older, they suggest a cut-off point of 10 years.
There is still uncertainty whether other doses of the drug could offer more protection.
Aspirin's well known possible side-effects include bleeding in the stomach and the brain.
Experts warn anyone at high risk of bleeding, including people with blood disorders who take blood thinning medication, or are frequent smokers or drinkers, are more likely to suffer these side-effects.
They recommend anyone considering daily medication should speak to their doctors to discuss individual risks.
Exactly how aspirin protects against cancer is unknown. Scientists suggest it may reduce inflammation or act on blood cells that would otherwise encourage the spread of the disease.
Fusobacteria may trigger bowel cancer
US researchers have uncovered how bacteria may set off a chain reaction leading to bowel cancer.
Fusobacteria, commonly found in the mouth, cause overactive immune responses and turn on cancer growth genes, two studies reveal.
The microbes had been linked with colorectal cancer before but it was not known whether they were directly involved in tumor growth.
The early findings are published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe.
In addition to potential new treatments, the discovery could lead to better early diagnosis and prevention, experts hope.
The first study, carried out by Harvard Medical School researchers, showed that fusobacteria was present in high numbers in adenomas – a benign bowel growth that can become cancerous over time.
Fusobacteria, commonly found in the mouth, cause overactive immune responses and turn on cancer growth genes
The same researchers also did tests in mice showing that the bacteria speeded up the formation of colorectal tumors by attracting special immune cells that invade and set off an inflammatory response which can lead to cancer.
The second study, carried out by researchers at Case Western Reserve University, showed that fusobacteria had a molecule on their surface which enabled them to attach to and invade human colorectal cancer cells.
The molecule – FadA – then switches on cancer growth genes and stimulates inflammatory responses to promote tumor formation.
A synthetic compound which blocked FadA was found to completely halt the process, raising the possibility it could one day be used as a preventive treatment.
The Case Western team also confirmed that FadA levels were much higher in tissues from patients with adenomas and colorectal cancer compared with healthy individuals.
Dr. Wendy Garrett, lead author of Harvard study, said: "Fusobacteria may provide not only a new way to group or describe colon cancers but also, more importantly, a new perspective on how to target pathways to halt tumour growth and spread."
She added that in the future the presence of the bacteria in a tumour may be used to guide treatment decisions.
Prof. Yiping Han who carried out the second study added: "We have proven there is an infectious component to colorectal cancer.
"We have shown that FadA is a marker that can be used for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer and identified potential therapeutic targets to treat or prevent this common and debilitating disease."
Bowel cancer genes discovered
British researchers believe they have explained why some families are incredibly vulnerable to bowel cancer.
They have found two genes, which are passed from parent to child, that greatly increase the risk of a tumor forming.
The study, published in Nature Genetics, analyzed DNA from 20 people with a strong family history.
The findings could be used to develop a test to judge someone's risk of the disease.
One of the people who took part in the study, Joe Wiegand from Hampshire, was diagnosed with bowel cancer when he was 28. Most of his colon had to be removed.
British researchers believe they have explained why some families are incredibly vulnerable to bowel cancer
"There's a very strong history of bowel cancer in my family – my dad's mother and sister both had it, my dad was diagnosed with it at 43 and a few cousins have had bowel cancers and brain tumors.
"It's clear that something's going on in our family."
The researchers looked at the genetic code of 20 people and found faults in two genes could increase the chance of developing the cancer.
Lead researcher, Prof. Ian Tomlinson from the University of Oxford, said: "There are some families where large numbers of relatives develop bowel cancer, but who don't have any of the known gene faults that raise the risk of developing the disease.
"These two faults are rare, but if you inherit them your chance of bowel cancer is high."
He said that, in the short-term, the findings could be used to work out which people had a high risk of developing bowel cancer and, in families with a high incidence of the cancer, to work out which people were at risk and needed more regular screening.
He said it was "conceivable" that specific therapies could be designed to overcome these mutations in the future.

One immediate result of eqs. (1)(2) is that at a large radius around a mass M, the orbital speed on a circular orbit becomes independent of radius. This indeed was a guiding principle in the construction of MOND, which took asymptotic flatness of galaxy rotation curves as an axiom (even though at the time it was not clear how definite, and how universal, this is). Second, this asymptotic rotational speed depends only on the total mass M via V4 = MGa0. This, according to MOND, is the fact underlying the observed Tully-Fisher-type relations, by which the typical (mean) rotational velocity, V, in a disc galaxy is strongly correlated with the total luminosity of the galaxy, L, in a relation of the form L V . The power is around 3-4, and depends on the wavelength band at which L is measured. The close agreement between this TF relation and the prediction of MOND is encouraging; but, to test MOND more precisely on this count, one would have to bridge properly the mass-asymptotic-velocity MOND relation with the commonly presented luminosity-bulk-velocity TF relation. One should use the luminosity in a band where it is a good representative of the stellar mass, take into account not only the stellar mass, as represented by the luminosity, but also the contribution of gas to the mass, and use the asymptotic velocity, as opposed to other measures of the rotational velocity. It has emerged recently (see [Verheijen 2001] and reference therein) that if one does all this one indeed obtains a tight and accurate relation of the form predicted by MOND.
But, by far, the most clear-cut test of MOND is provided by disc-galaxy rotation curves, simply because the astronomical observations, and their interpretation, are the most complete and best understood, if still not perfect. What we typically need to know of a galaxy in order to apply this test has been discussed by the various authors who conducted the test; for example, [Begeman & al (1991)], [Sanders & Verheijen (1998)], [Sanders 1996], [de Blok & McGaugh (1998)]. On the whole, these tests speak cogently for MOND. These test involves fitting the observed rotation curve of a galaxy by that predicted by MOND. Such fits involve one free parameter per galaxy, which is the assumed conversion factor from luminosity to mass in stars, the so-called mass-to-light ratio. In fact, however, this parameter is not totally free. It is constrained to an extent by what theoretical understanding of galaxy composition tell us. [Sanders & Verheijen (1998)] who have conducted a MOND rotation-curve analysis of a sample of disc galaxies in the Ursa Major cluster, have compared their deduced MOND best-fit M/L values with theoretical results from stellar-population synthesis. They found a very good agreement. This shows that, to some extent, the MOND rotation curves might be looked at as definite prediction of MOND, which use theoretical M/L values, and not as fits involving one free parameter.
Regarding galactic systems other than galaxies, the comparison of the systematics of the observed mass discrepancy with the expectations from MOND are shown in Figure 2 in [Milgrom (1998)] based on analyzes referenced there. The agreement is uniform, with one exception: The cores of rich x-ray clusters of galaxies show a considerable mass discrepancy, while, according to MOND there shouldn't be any, because the accelerations there are only of the order of a0, and not much smaller. (Application of MOND to the clusters at large, say within a few megaparsecs of the center, does predict correctly the mass discrepancy.) The resolution, by MOND, will have to be that these cores harbor large quantities of still undetected baryonic matter, perhaps in the form of dim stars, perhaps as warm gas. The environment, and history, of these cores is so unlike others that this would not be surprising.
In order to appreciate the message that the phenomenological success of MOND carries, we should note the following. According to MOND, the acceleration constant a0 appears in many independent roles in the phenomenology of the mass discrepancy. For example, in galaxies that have high central accelerations, the mass discrepancy appears only beyond a certain radius; according to MOND , the acceleration at this radius should always be a0. a0 also appears as the boundary acceleration between so called high-surface-brightness galaxies (= high acceleration galaxies) which do not show a mass discrepancy near the center, and low-surface-brightness galaxies, where the discrepancy prevails everywhere. a0 appears in the relation between the asymptotic rotational velocity of a galaxy and its total mass, and in the mass-velocity relation for all sub-a0 systems, etc., etc..
These roles that a0 plays are independent in the sense that in the framework of the dark matter paradigm, it is easy to envisage baryon-plus-dark-matter galactic systems that evince any of these appearances of 0 without showing the others. In other words, in the dark matter paradigm one role of a0 in the phenomenology does not follow from the others.
This is similar, for example, to the appearances of the Planck constant in different quantum phenomena: in the black-body spectrum, in the photoelectric effect, in the hydrogen spectrum, in superconductivity, etc.. Phenomenologically, these roles of the same constant seem totally unrelated. The only unifying frame is a theory: non-relativistic quantum mechanics, in this case. MOND is, likewise, a theory that in one fell swoop unifies all the above appearances of a0 in the phenomenology of galaxy dynamics.
And finally, let me point out a possibly very significant coincidence: The value of the acceleration constant a0 that fits all the data discussed above is about 10-8cm s-2. This value of a0 is of the order of some acceleration constants of cosmological significance. It is of the same order as aex cH0, where H0 is the Hubble constant; and, it is also of the order of acc c( / 3)1/2, where is the emerging value of the cosmological constant (or "dark energy"). So, for example, a body accelerating at a0 from rest will approach the speed of light in the life time of the universe.
Because the cosmological state of the universe changes, such a connection, if it is a lasting one, may imply that galaxy evolution does not occur in isolation, affected only by nearby objects, but is, in fact, responding constantly to changes in the state of the universe at large. For example, if the connection of a0 with the Hubble constant always holds, the changing of the Hubble constant would imply that a0 must change over cosmic times, and with it the appearance of galactic systems, whose dynamics a0 controls. If, on the other hand, a0 is a reflection of a true cosmological constant, then is might be a veritable constant.


Once a year, members of IGL affiliated groups BUILD Latin America and Engineers Without Borders (EWB) come together to present the history and mission of their organizations, share the process of their program's work, and elaborate on their current projects and the challenges and successes within them.
BUILD Latin America is a student-led organization that aims to immerse students in the theory and practice of sustainable development specifically in Latin America. BUILD LA forms multi-year partnerships with NGO's and other local community organizations throughout Latin America. BUILD members serve as year-long student consultants who work with organizations to support their marketing, outreach, website development, and fundraising efforts.
Students shared their group structure noting that BUILD LA is divided into teams who organize to provide sustainable development for a specific developing community in Latin America, this year the two teams were based in Ecuador and Honduras. Each team is led by a consulting director, and the E-Board also includes event coordinators and an outreach director.
The BUILD LA team based in Ecuador shared their project details and the challenges they faced as the project progressed. The team started with intense research on the educational needs in Ecuador. Next, they reached out to different prospective partner organizations, and decided to partner with Libraries without borders to implement the Koombook Program in Ecuador to bring portable digital libraries to isolated communities. After conducting a needs assessment of Ecuador's educational landscape, two team members traveled to Ecuador to formally introduce the program and demonstrate its technology. The original program plan shifted its focus due to the earthquake that destroyed 280 schools in Ecuador which intensified the need for sustainable development in the education field. Once the project details were finalized, the team started fundraising and matching campaigns to fund the project sustainably.
The BUILD LA team based in Honduras focused on a more sustainable health care program. The Action for Education (AcE) team is working primarily to advance AcE's nursing school project, Trinidad School of Nursing (TSN) to benefit the community's overall public health and increase access to health education. Students noted that a key part of the nursing school is the community health seminar program, in which each student receives training in conducting community health education, and once per month will return to their respective villages or neighborhoods in Trinidad and conduct community health seminars. BUILD LA students tackled social media and began spreading the word on twitter to raise awareness for the project.
Tufts Engineers Without Borders (EWB) is a student led Tufts University chapter of a larger national organization with more than 600 projects operating in 42 countries. The organization designs and implements sustainable engineering projects in developing communities. EWB usually takes on projects in Africa and Latin America and divides their members into roles according to project region. The team members are currently working on projects in small communities in Malawi and Nicaragua. The team members noted that their projects operate on a 3 step process: assess, implement, and monitor.
The students working in Malawi noted their pre-assessment work which includes research of water access, culture and language in Malawi prior to their first assessment trip in August. They noted how under EWB instructions, the community must contribute 5% to the project, whether that be manual labor, skilled labor, or financial assistance to the project. Through their research they found that this particular village had built a plethora of brick structures, and EWB projects could utilize that technique to encourage community contribution.
The team operating a project in Nicaragua noted that they are in the midst of a crowdfunding campaign to fund students to travel to Nicaragua to do their initial assessment trip in order to better analyze the needs to water access and the most appropriate solutions given the immediate climate and culture. An integral part to EWB's goal to be accessible to all students is that students never have to pay to travel to do research, the funds are always gathered through fundraising or grants. Students from both clubs had the opportunity to learn strategies and share successful tips and tricks with one another. Both shared strategies on how to fundraise in engaging ways to help both spread awareness of these issues on campus, and to get people to donate. Both clubs also often hold events on campus featuring speakers with a range of experiences to educate the Tufts community on issues of sustainability and development around the world.

You can reach Molveno and Lake Molveno on foot from Garnì Lago Nembia. Undoubtedly, Lake Molveno is the jewel of the Adamello Brenta Nature Park and lies 1 km to the north of Lake Nembia.
The famous Italian poet and novelist Antonio Fogazzaro has described Lake Molveno as "a precious pearl in an even more precious casket". 2016 it was appointed "Italy's most beautiful lake" by Legambiente and Touring Club Italiano for the third year in a row.
Lake Molveno is the ideal place for several outdoor activities in summertime such as swimming, sailing, canoeing and windsurfing. The lake lies in a scenic hollow on the backdrop of the Brenta Dolomites and even an easy walk from Garnì Lago Nembia to Molveno offers breath-taking panoramic views.
Would you like to observe this wonderful landscape from on high? Just reach the top of the surrounding mountains with the lifts in Molveno and enjoy a trekking tour with direct view on the lake.

"Sampath Speaking" - the thoughts of an Insurer from Thiruvallikkeni: UDRS - when Indians opposed they were villains; now Aussies rue the system !!!!
UDRS - when Indians opposed they were villains; now Aussies rue the system !!!!
India is feeling a huge sigh of relief……… for long Cricketing World was fretting that India is the lone opposer to the system change and is stalling the same flexing its muscle……….. the DRS or the Decision Review… before we proceed, do you know or remember what connects the now tainted Santhakumaran Sreesanth to UDRS ?
After the First Test of Ashes won by England narrowly, much din is heard …. But before….. time and again, it was projected by foreign media that DRS is the solution to problems ailing cricket – 'when technology is available' it must be used; Technology removes the stigma of bias, reduces human error, increases viewer satisfaction, is acceptable to a majority of players. …… and that India [its Captain Dhoni and the board] were the ones stalling it…… now voices are coming from different quarters !!
First there was the controversy shrouding the sacking Mickey Arthur, the SA cricketer who was the coach of Aussies till 23rd June 2013 in the aftermath of David Warner's bar room altercation with England batsman Joe Root. Then came the news that Arthur is suing Cricket Australia for up to $4 million after he was sacked; there was also the explosive allegation of racial discrimination and also infighting between Test captain Clarke and all-rounder Shane Watson. Arthur is also understood to have alleged that he was discriminated against because of his South African background and said he was not supported by his Cricket Australia employers through the "homeworkgate" affair in India, when four players including Watson were suspended.
The first Ashes Test was engrossing – it was a seesaw battle where England prevailed. With a little luck, the result could have been the opposite for Michael Clarke's side- generally this lack of luck could have been ascribed to the vicissitudes of fate. Now Australians, their Vice Captain, Coach are all blaming technology – specifically the DRS.
As the opposition became more vocal, ICC has defended the performance of the umpires even while admitting to errors in cases involving Jonathan Trott and Stuart Broad. The ICC has taken the unusual step of revealing its assessment of the umpires and the DRS analysis from the Test, arguing that the figures vindicate both. ICC has suggested that the "added intensity" of a first Ashes Test had increased pressure on the officials. According to the ICC, the umpires made a total of 72 decisions, which is well above the average (49) for a DRS Test match. The umpiring team, made up of Aleem Dar, Kumar Dharmasena and Marais Erasmus, was assessed to have made seven errors during the match, out of which three were uncorrected decisions and four decisions corrected using the DRS. As such, the correct decision percentage before reviews stood at 90.3% but climbed to 95.8% as a result of the use of the DRS. This represented an increase of 5.5% in correct decisions, which was the average increase from DRS Test matches in 2012-13.
The three decisions that were marked as uncorrected errors included one against Trott when a correct lbw decision (not out against the bowling of Mitchell Starc) was overturned. The others involved Broad, both the edge that carried to slip via Brad Haddin's gloves and a leg-before shout where he did not offer a stroke, but neither but these could be corrected as Australia had no reviews available. The MCC's World Cricket Committee has restated its support of the DRS with a "unanimous" opinion of those present at its meeting at Lord's that the referral system can only improve umpiring decisions. The MCC backing came a day after the ICC issued an unprecedented release stating its support for the umpires and DRS. The world cricket committee, which included the ICC's chief executive Dave Riahardson, and eminent former cricket players like Steve Waugh, Geoffrey Boycott, Michael Atherton and Shaun Pollock, discussed the Trent Bridge Test at length and felt that the mistakes that occurred were more of operational nature and DRS could not be blamed. Kumble and Dravid, the two Indians on the cricket committee, did not attend the meeting at which "unanimous" support for DRS was expressed. India has always been the most sceptical country about DRS and the BCCI refuses to sanction its use in bilateral series.
Australia's vice-captain Brad Haddin now believes that decision referrals should be taken out of the hands of players and left as a tool of international umpires. The new coach Darren Lehman was also livid……… while Trott and Broad incidents are highlighted, the stumping of Ashton Agar is conveniently swept under. In the Jonathan Trott incident, the HotSpot creator Warren Brennan apologized for the failure of technology. It is felt that Broad exploited the weakness of DRS when he was caught at slip and Umpire misjudged and ruled him not out. Clarke had already utilized his two reviews, and could not ask for a review. Broad lived on to score 65 in what turned out to be a match-winning partnership with Ian Bell. Arguments raged about his decision not to "walk" despite getting a thick edge. The ethical position is easily challenged by the right of the batsman to let the umpire make the decision.
The Umpire Decision Review System (abbreviated as UDRS or DRS) is a technology-based system used in the sport of cricket. The system was first introduced in Test cricket, for the sole purpose of reviewing the controversial decisions made by the on-field umpires in the case of a batsman being dismissed or not. The new review system was officially launched by the International Cricket Council on 24 November 2009 during the first Test match between New Zealand and Pakistan at the University Oval in Dunedin. It was first used in One Day Internationals in January 2011, during England's tour of Australia. It was first used in ICC World Cup 2011, which India won.
The first referral of the World Cup was the unsuccessful one made by Dhoni off the bowling of Santhakumaran Sreesanth. In the thrilling tie between India and England in Bangalore as MS Dhoni was annoyed by the system and said that it is an adulteration of human decision and technology, to which the ICC replied that the players should know the technology before passing judgement on it. It was the 2.5 M rule which came under fire. In June 2012 there was brouhaha in the Cricket World as the call for Universal DRS fell flat at Board table. Tony Greig criticized India for opposing stating that the game was controlled by BCCI.
Tailpiece : Ian Bell's first test century against was courtesy the referral system. He was given out on 67, insisted that he had not touched the ball, on a referral the decision was over turned. On 16th June 12 in the 1st ODI at The Rose Bowl, he scored 126 again courtesy UDRS. He later confessed having nicked the ball behind when on 23, but Decision Review System (DRS) gave him the benefit of the doubt, and allowed him to fire England to victory. In WC 2011, Dhoni made a referral. the giant screen made Bell realise his defeat and made him walking – but Billy Bowden gave him not out and struck to his decision. That time, ICC playing condition under Process of Consultation No. 3.3 (i) was referred as stating that if a 'not out' decision is being reviewed and the distance from impact to the stumps is greater than 2.5m then the third umpire passes this information to the on-field official along with: the distance from the wickets of the point of impact with the batsman, the approximate distance from the point of pitching to the point of impact, and whether the ball is predicted to the hit the stumps the on-field umpire shall have regard to the normal cricketing principles concerning the level of certainty in making his decision as to whether to change his decision.
So is India right in stating that a system with technical flaws should not be imposed in its present form.


Locate the card you are ready to practice and place it on your music stand.
On your instrument, explore musical ideas playing the color-coded notes.
Line up your cards side by side as you work through sections in each song.
Are you nervous about an upcoming solo in jazz band?
Do you have an audition that requires an improvised solo?
Do you open the Real Book and think, "What am I supposed to play"?
Do you wish you could solo on the chord changes and sound great?
Wouldn't it be awesome to sound great and learn theory while you play?
Have you been excited to attend an improvisation workshop only to leave totally confused?
Do you avoid teaching improvisation because it takes away from rehearsal time?
Rather than transposing an elaborate description of "what to play when" -- for each instrument -- over every chord, arm your students with JazzDeck™ and try the following: "Class, find the card that matches the chord above measure one and turn it over. Solo using the color-coded notes."
Each JazzDeck™ includes teaching cards that illustrate an approach that students can use to interpret the chord changes for themselves.
Have you always wanted to play jazz but were intimidated by the chord changes?
Do you have a strong foundation in classical music and have always wanted to learn how to play jazz?
Are you a proficient guitar player who gave up on jazz when it came time to read music or address concepts that just aren't covered in tab?
Have you purchased a number of jazz theory books and not made it past page 10 in any of them?

Q: JPA issue 2 attributes mapped to same column InvalidStateException: Attempt to set column to two different values I have the following problem,
I have the folowing classes:
class C(){
    ...

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumns({
        @JoinColumn(name = "B_FK", referencedColumnName = "B_ID"),
        @JoinColumn(name = "A_FK", referencedColumnName = "A_ID")})
    private B b = null;

    @ManyToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "A_FK")
    private A a = null;
}

EDIT:
@Embeddable
class bPK(){

  @Column(name = "B_ID")
  private String bId;

  @Column(name = "A_ID")
  private String aId;
}

class B(){

    @EmbeddedId
    private bPK b_Pk = null;

    @ManyToOne
    @MapsId(value = "aId")
    @JoinColumn(name = "A_ID")
    public A a;
}

class A(){
    @Id
    @Column(name = "A_ID")
    public String aId;
}

Class B has a composite key and we created the database scheme first, so we have to define the column names for mapping.
The problem now is that if we persist an instance of class C as like this:
C c = new C();
A a = new A();
a.setId("TEST_ID");
c.setA(a);

em.persist(c);

Then we get the following error:

Caused by: <openjpa-2.2.0-r422266:1244990 fatal user error>
  org.apache.openjpa.persistence.InvalidStateException: Attempt to set
  column "C.A_FK" to two different values: (null)"null", (class
  java.lang.String)"TEST_ID" This can occur when you fail to set both
  sides of a two-sided relation between objects, or when you map
  different fields to the same column, but you do not keep the values of
  these fields in synch.

As the attribute b is null and the value for a is set, jpa tries to set A_FK to null for b and to "TEST_ID" for a.
It works fine if a and b are set or if both are null, but not if only one of them is set.
Is there a solution to fix this problem? We expected that in case b is null the JoinColumns are ignored or that there is any option to disable them in case the annotated attribute is null.
We use OpenJPA 2.2.0.
