Introduction

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States (1). Since 1973, the number of new cases of melanoma, the skin cancer with the highest risk for mortality and one of the most common cancers among young adults, has increased. The incidence of melanoma has increased 150%, and melanoma mortality rates have increased by 44% (1). Because a substantial percentage of lifetime sun exposure occurs before age 20 years (2,3) and because ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure during childhood and adolescence plays an important role in the development of skin cancer (2,4), preventive behaviors can yield the most positive effects, if they are initiated early and established as healthy and consistent patterns throughout life. Children spend several hours at school on most weekdays, and some of that time is spent in outdoor activities. Schools, therefore, are in a position to teach and model healthy behaviors, and they can use health education activities involving families to encourage sun-safe behaviors at home. Thus, schools can play a vital role in preventing skin cancer.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS

ARE YOU READY TO MOW?
Be sure to wear protective clothing. Long pants and eye protection can lower your risk of injury from thrown objects. Wear footwear that protects your feet and won’t let you slip if you mow on slopes or uneven ground.

CHECK YOU LAWN
For your safety and for the safety of others, always inspect the area before mowing.

OBJECTS
Anything which can be picked up by the blades and thrown is a potential hazard to you and others. Look for things like stones, sticks, bones and wire. Remove them from the mowing area.

PEOPLE & PETS
People and animals near the mowing area can move into your path or into a position where they could be struck by thrown objects. Clear the area of people and pets, especially children. Their safety is your responsibility.

Surfing Recommendations

Costa Rica is not known for offering tremendous size in its waves, but rather, consistent head high surf at any time of the year. Many people think that the best way of surfing in Costa Rica is to rent a car and try to follow the surf. This, with very few exceptions, is the best way to spend a lot of unnecessary time in your car and miss the waves. Costa Rica’s surf areas are defined by location and seasons which make surfing in Costa Rica very user friendly.

The Northern Pacific Coast is generally the most consistent destination from December ~ April. During this season, strong offshore winds combine with ideal swell directions to put breaks like Witches Rock, Playa Negra and Playa Grande in perfect form. The Central and Southern Pacific Coasts are generally best between May ~ November as the south swell season creeps in while the Caribbean Coast tends to pick up the best conditions from November ~ March. These are certainly generalizations which are by no means, guaranteed. However, using these characterizations is the best way to plan your vacation.

Visual Memory
Another seemingly unrelated study on memory was also used in the formation of Mind Maps. In this study by Ralph Haber, 2560 photos were shown to subjects. Then subjects were shown 2560 pairs of photos and asked in each case to say which photo had been in the original group of 2560 and which had not.

The success rate at this test averaged between 85% and 95%, showing that humans have an almost photographic visual memory. In another study where 10,000 vivid pictures were used, a success rate of 99% was
recorded.

Originality
What happens if two people draw mini Mind Maps around the idea ‘shoe’. (A mini Mind Map is a Mind Map that only goes one level deep, i.e. it only has words that are directly related to the central idea). If each person comes up with seven related words, how many do you think would be duplicates between the two people? Studies have shown that the average is one word in common, and anything above two is very unusual.
