FRUITPORT — Sometimes it is just nice to get invited to the dance, even if your date ends up somewhere else.

The Spring Lake and Fruitport wrestling teams took on the team district tournament at Fruitport High School on Thursday, along with Muskegon and heavy favorite Reeths-Puffer.

The Trojans fell in the opening round to the Rockets, while the Lakers handily defeated the shorthanded Big Reds. In the finals, Spring Lake faced their own roster issues, giving up four empty weight classes in the meat of their lineup. The open matches combined with Reeths-Puffer’s overpowering talent added up to a 67-12 loss for the Lakers, but just fighting for the title was prize enough for the young squad.

“For the seniors, they have never gotten past the first round, so to wrestle in the district finals is a big deal,” Spring Lake head coach Dan Robinson. “I preach to these guys that they should get used to wrestling at this stage now. In the next few years, I want us to win a few. This should be the new norm.”

“It feels really good to get here,” Spring Lake senior Hunter Rose said. “It feels like the wrestling program is really growing.”

The finals got off to a tough start for Spring Lake, as the Rockets took pins over two of their top wrestlers in Caleb Swenor at 171 pounds and Hunter Rose at 289 pounds to go up 12-0.

Sam France hit the mat next with a vengeance, pushing Brett Thomas of Reeths-Puffer to his limit before falling by minor decision to give Thomas his 100th career victory and put the Lakers down, 15-0.

The Lakers responded heartily, as Dylan Henshaw took his second pin fall victory of the day at 285 pounds with a first-round downing of his opponent in 1 minute, 30 seconds for six points.

Jack Parker followed at 103 pounds, scoring another pin fall over Connor Bloomstrom in a blistering 20 seconds. The quick pin put Spring Lake back in contention, 12-15.

From there, the Rockets took over, scoring technical falls over Jacob Blawat at 112 pounds (20-4) and Jamie Holt at 125 (17-2)

Connor Montgomery at 119 and Schafer Bailey at 130 both fell by pin to bring the Lakers into the dead zone of their lineup.

Evan Driggs finished off Spring Lake’s day on the mat with a pin fall loss at 160 pounds.

“Going into the 122 match, we are right there, 15-12,” Robinson said. “We are just a little short on numbers still. That isn’t to take anything away from Reeths-Puffer, they are a great team loaded top to bottom. That is probably the best team I have seen them have in my 16 years of coaching.”

It was a different story in the opening round, where the Lakers pulled off a 60-18 defeat of Muskegon, despite an early deficit.

After forfeiting 152 pounds to begin the match, Driggs fell by pin in a hard-fought 160-pound match. From there, the Lakers ripped off four straight wins.

Eric Dunlap got things started with an inspiring turnaround. After trailing 9-2 in the third round, Dunlap flipped the switch and pinned his opponent to get the Lakers on the board, 12-6.

Rose followed with a second-round pin in 2:35, before Sam France pinned his opponent in 3:09. Finally, Dylan Henshaw made quick work of his 285-pound bout, pinning his heavyweight opponent in 1:37.

The Lakers picked up forfeits in the next three fights before Jamie Holt put together another first-round pin at 125 pounds in 1:39. Schafer Bailey finished off Spring Lake’s opening-round effort with a pin in 1:49.

“We bring back from 103 through 140 next year,” Robinson said. “We have some young pups that are gaining experience and some guys in the eighth grade that will likely jump right into the lineup. The future looks good.”

Under the weather

The Fruitport wrestling team had to deal with big-bad Reeths-Puffer in the opening round, a team they have become quite familiar with over the course of the season.

“This was our fourth or fifth time seeing Reeths-Puffer this year, so we know each other very well and knew what to expect,” Fruitport head coach Rock Sykes said.

On top of their prior experience with the Rockets’ expertise, the Trojans brought a devastated lineup into the tournament Thursday, with nearly half of their wrestlers out with sickness or injury.

“We had five starters out due to injury or sickness. Very unfortunate timing,” Sykes said. “It would have been nice to have them and compete a little bit more, but we knew how good Reeths-Puffer is.

“I told my guys to concentrate on the matches we had filled tonight and to go out there and try to make some wins.”

The result was a 51-21 loss to Reeths-Puffer, with wins coming where they could for the Trojans. Right off the bat, Zechariah Richardson took it to his challenger at 160 pounds, earning a 4-1 decision to put Fruitport up, 3-0.

Three forfeits at 171, 189 and 215 pounds put the Trojans back behind the eight ball, 18-3.

Dallas Rodgers picked up six points for the Trojans with a Rocket forfeit at 285 pounds, before Connor Sykes put together a dominating performance at 103 pounds, pinning his opponent in 1:10 to bring Fruitport back into the match, 15-18.

The Trojans were forced to forfeit once again at 112 pounds, as Zach Sykes bumped up a weight class to get a look at a fresh opponent. The result was a 4-1 loss. Max Lundberg and Tyler Ranshaw followed with pin losses at 125 and 130 pounds as the Rockets blasted into the lead.

Dominic Dault put on the performance of the night with an inspiring turnaround pin fall. After falling behind 4-8 heading into the third round of his 135-pound match, Dault summoned his strength for a 5:08 pin and six points for the Trojans.

Fruitport finished the match with an open class at 140 and two pin losses for Zane Lee at 145 and Patrick Faltinowski at 152.

“Dominick’s match stands out,” Sykes said. “I have learned over my three years with him, he is never out of a match. Ever.

“We had guys step up to fill weight classes, we had guys moving around in the lineup and wrestle tough. Now, we turn our attention to Saturday.”

Despite faltering in the team tournament, both the Lakers and Trojans can look forward to Saturday’s individual district tournament at Lowell High School. There, each wrestler will take on individual weight class brackets in a quest for a medal, and a spot at the regional tournament. For both teams, the goal is simple — make it through.

“You just have to go out there and try your hardest, there is no going back,” Rose said. “I would love to place, I would love to get first, I would love to go to regionals and to state.

“You just have to give it your best shot all the time. It doesn’t matter their record or how good they are this time of year.”

Coach Sykes echoed the playoff sentiment.

“Now, it is all about attitude and believing in yourself,” he said. “It all comes down to grit to get through. Our division 2 district is one of the toughest around in my opinion.”

Matches kick off at Lowell High School at 10 a.m. Saturday.

Media Release – Anomalies

For Immediate Release

Lucky Bat Books Announces, a New Short Story Collection by Gregory Benford

Anomalies, a collection of short fiction by Gregory Benford, Nebula Award Winning author of more than 20 Science Fiction novels, to be released by publisher Lucky Bat Books.

The stories of Anomalies —in true Benford fashion — challenge concepts of time, space and science. Including several stories chosen for “best of” anthologies, Anomalies presents Gregory Benford’s short science fiction, in stories ranging from comic to apocalyptic.

And all the while, Benford’s characters capture the reader. There’s Claire, the hard-boiled, randy spacecraft hack – “Do I look like a people person?” – and her heroic efforts, all in the name of a fast buck in The Worm In the Well and its sequel, The Worm Turns.

Anomalies also includes other popular short fiction by Benford: The Man Who Wasn’t There, Lazarus Rising, Applied Mathematical Theology and Doing Lennon —17 stories in all, with the title story, Anomalies,  topping the list.

Benford excels at taking the known into unknown realms.

One of the inner circle of smart science fiction writers, Benford, a physics professor at the University of California and author of more than two  hundred academic papers on the subject, applies his in-depth knowledge of physics to all of his science fiction stories, pushing the edges of science and imagination.

Taking Science into Inspired Realms

An award-winning SF author, Benford has scooped up Science Fiction’s top awards, twice winning the Nebula Award. He has also won the John W. Campbell Award, the Australian Ditmar Award, and the 1990 United Nations Medal in Literature.

Benford explores the world through his creative, informed lens. In Anomalies, he asks a physics-shattering question: what happens if there is a computational error in reality? If, in fact, the moon shifts its position? It’s the sort of question that both tickles and challenges.

The collection of short fiction includes new Afterwords and insights by Gregory Benford into his writing methods, sometime quite idiosyncratic —and into the stories behind the stories in Anomalies.

Published by Lucky Bat Books, Anomalies is available this spring in trade paperback and ebook editions, including Kindle, Nook, iBook, Kobo and Sony – formatted versions. Find all versions on Gregory Benford’s website,, and in online bookstores everywhere.

Lucky Bat Books, founded in 2010,  is a traditional publishing house with a revolutionary business model, working with writers in charge of their writing business.

Heartbleed, Ticketbleed… When Network Infrastructure Security Lets us Down

When securing enterprise systems every PeopleSoft customer knows they need strong passwords and secure networks. A good firewall is a critical first line of defense. But is your firewall as secure as you think? Ticketbleed, the latest network infrastructure vulnerability, was all over the news today. A quick internet search will turn up several valuable responses, but just for context, Ticketbleed, reminiscent of Heartbleed, is a vulnerability in the SSL/TLS layer of a wide variety of F5 firewalls and load balancers. Today’s news reminds us that even the best network and security infrastructure is vulnerable to compromise. Ticketbleed, Heartbleed, and other vulnerabilities make it very clear: network security infrastructure is not enough. Assuming a bad actor breaches your network security infrastructure, that actor still has to authenticate, right? Maybe. Remember the days of distributed computing where a hacker might use idle capacity of many computers to attempt to brute-force crack a password? Today there is a much easier way: targeted spear phishing. Through deceptive, socially engineered e-mails, today’s attacker can actually coerce unsuspecting professionals into giving up their credentials. JP Morgan Chase, eBay, Target, Ubiquity, Anthem (Blue Cross), and Sony all trace significant, highly publicized breaches to spear phishing attacks. Kaspersky Labs has traced over a billion dollars in international bank losses to highly sophisticated spear phishing attacks. If you are following this scenario, the bad actor now has access to your enterprise system through a security vulnerability in your network infrastructure and has acquired the credentials of a highly privileged or highly compensated individual. What next? The attacker just “Hit pay dirt.” It is time to log in and start stealing. An educated PeopleSoft attacker is going to hit one (or all) of the following places:
  • Direct deposit: change bank account information to an off-shore account to steal the next payroll,
  • Personal data > Additional information: this page contains enough personally identifiable information (PII) to steal a compromised user’s identity,
  • HR back-office employee personal information pages: harvest PII,
  • Query: one-stop shopping – all PeopleSoft PII in one location.
Step 1: gain access to the system. Step 2: obtain credentials. That should be enough security, shouldn’t it? It is not. Every day we read about another big-name breach. What is the solution? A product that adds multiple layers of security inside your ERP system:
  • Data masking to prevent harvesting information that users don’t necessarily need to see,
  • Click-to-view masking that logs attempts to access privileged information,
  • Location-based menu pruning to ensure external users won’t have access to back-office, high privileged information,
  • Two-factor authentication to confirm the identity of a user attempting to access or change privileged information.
GreyHeller’s ERP Firewall offers all of these benefits and more. Without making a single modification to your PeopleSoft system, you will obtain piece of mind knowing that your data, your money, and more importantly, your people are safe from cyber threats. Today’s network infrastructure and authentication mechanisms may not be strong enough to keep all the bad actors out of your ERP house, but with a product like GreyHeller’s ERP Firewall, you can choose what a bad actor sees upon gaining entry. Ensure your organization is in the most secure position possible by scheduling your assessment with GreyHeller today.

Blue colour of choice for FIH

dinsdag 13 februari 2018

The International Hockey Federation (FIH) has concluded that elite level televised hockey is best played on single colour blue fields using white hockey balls.

The FIH choice affects both the field of play as well as the perimeter margins. The decision means that in from now on combinations like blue and green or blue and pink (as was used during the 2012 London Olympics) will no longer accepted.

FIH’s decision is a recommendation for the time being. ‘We do recognise that many venues we use for these top events have relatively new hockey turfs that do not justify being changed immediately. We are therefore asking that when the hockey turfs at these venues are replaced or when new venues are being designed they have all blue hockey turfs installed,’ the message to the members of the FIH Quality Programme reads. ‘Moving forward, the FIH will therefore be incorporating this conclusion into our competition and stadium specifications for our top events such as the FIH World Cups and Hockey Pro League, etc.’

Research by the FIH has shown that the best shade of blue for hockey is that commonly known as London Blue. However, FIH recognizes that small colour variations between hockey turf manufacturers and even within production from a single manufacturer can result in small colour variations. ‘Therefore, again based on the research, several alternative shades of blue have also been approved for use on fields intended for high level FIH competitions’
FIH warns installing companies that from 1st June 2018 only hockey turf products that meet the requirements of the 2017 Standard will be approved. Based on recent enquires FIH will continue to certify new fields during 2018 that have hockey turf products that are currently approved (i.e. according to the 2013/2014 handbook) providing the tender/contract to build the field was awarded before 31st May.

How I Create

How I create: A look at creativity from an artist

That's a word I've thought a lot about lately.
What does is mean?  How do you get it? Where do creative ideas come from?
I've spent the last few years more dedicated to creating than ever before and here is what I've learned from my experience.

Ok, so just to be honest here, I usually don't come up with an idea totally and completely on my own. I'm almost always inspired by something else I have seen.  It can be another artist's work, nature, or even clothing designs.  I frequently walk out of Target with some painting ideas in mind. I just have a different idea of how I'd want it to look or how I would make it differently.  So in that way, it becomes my own.

wildlife photography

I get out often to take photos of nature and keep a notebook or sketchbook handy at all times to make note of my ideas.  If I don't write them down, they inevitable get lost in the jumble of my brain.

My creative process varies from project to project.  Sometimes I have to do a bit of experimenting, sketching, and planning to before I start the real thing.  Sometimes I have to work at using a new medium- learn how to actually use it to gain the necessary skills.  Other times I can go with the flow and start something cold turkey.  That takes practice, practice, and ya, more practice!  It's so rewarding for me to see a finished project that meets my expectations. The work is worth it!

So, I'll walk you through the creative process that led to one of my favorite watercolor projects, my Watercolor Portraits.

I got the idea for making these from another watercolor portrait I had seen somewhere online.  It had the same posterized effect and looked so cool, but I had no idea how I could actually make one. Drawing the portrait like that by hand would take phenomenal effort and talent and I wanted to find an easier way to make it so that everyone could make one too, not just the super skilled artists.  So I let the idea simmer a few months. It was always in the back of my mind.  I was problem solving.

Finally I remembered a pencil transferring technique I had learned in school and it donned on me that that was the answer. So then I entered the experimental phase. I tried posterizing all kinds of photos to see what worked best. Then I actually tried it would with watercolors on watercolor paper. Luckily this one was a success!  So I made more!

Creative Resistance:
Even with ideas flowing, there are still times when my ideas don't materialize the way I envisioned them.  But you never know unless you try right?

One of the biggest resistors to creativity is fear.  Fear of failure.  Fear of not producing exactly what you had in mind.  In my case, I worry about wasting materials- I'm cheap like that.

You have to think on the positive side to be creative.  Even if you end up with a failed project, or semi-failed project, there is still something to be learned and gained from it.  Sometimes I discover that the idea was a bad one to begin with, sometimes I just have to figure out a new way to do it. And then once in a while, you get those glorious happy accidents- where you didn't plan something to happen, but it turned out better than you what you had in mind.

How I Create:  A look at creativity from an Artist's perspective

When I find myself having failure after failure, it's usually a sign that I'm just frazzled with life and need a break.  I need to get outside, take a vacation, play with my son, talk with friends.  I come back later feeling energized and like my mind is alive again. I feel more inclined to create when I am balanced.

So those are my thoughts on creativity!  I hope that gave you a little insight into my world!

Please stop by the Creativity Expressed Blog Series to check out other awesome posts!

Creativity Expressed Blog Series

This post is a part of the Creativity Expressed Blog Series hosted by Jen at Lovely Messes.  Nine creative women are sharing the secrets behind their creative process, don't miss a single bit of inspiration!

  1. I completely agree with allowing failure and getting outside somewhere when you're stuck. I loved seeing more of your process, thanks for sharing!

  2. Very nice post, I always like to read a post about creativity. :)
    Thank you for sharing with us.

  3. Hi,

    I subscribe to very few blogs, and comment very rarely (really more like never). There's not much that can make me want to add even more clutter to my inbox. But I stumbled on your blog a couple of months ago and subscribed immediately. And this post is one of the reasons why. I've been on a desperate quest to reclaim my lost creativity, dormant for the past 4+ years, buried among kid-wrangling and household-running duties. Your talent and fearlessness have been so inspiring to me. So I just wanted to say thank you.

    1. I'm glad you found me Melanie! You are so nice. I understand how hard it is to create while raising kids, but I think it's worth it to invest a little time in something that you love- besides the kids of course. best of luck to you!

  4. I wish I was better at making time to be more creative x

  5. Lovely post, thank you for sharing your creative process. I am a self taught amateur so my creative process often happens on the bus ride to work, sketching new patterns in my tiny notebook , compensating for all the bumps on the road.

    1. Thank you. That's awesome that you make time for sketching on your bus ride- what a good use of time!

  6. haha, I'm glad I'm not the only one who worries about wasting supplies. So much so, that I realised last year that I'd just been hoarding supplies 'until a rainy day or great project came along'. The thing is, you have it, it needs to be used. Since approaching it in that way, I've learned so much about different mediums and the way that I work, create and design. It's been inspiring. I even broke out the watercolours again!

    I'm pretty new to your blog, so perhaps it already exists, but I'd love to see a tutorial on the watercolour silhouette.

    1. Thanks for your comments Hannah. It's nice to have people who can relate! I'm glad you found my blog. You've left so many nice comments!

      Here's a link to the Stenciled Elephant Watercolor:

  7. Do you have a blog? I'd love to see the bumpy drawings. I'm self-taught too and I've found it's how you work with the bumps that makes sketching in moving vehicles exciting. I guess this philosophy could apply to life too ;)

6 orthodox solutions to deal with debt

People struggling with debts are usually under a lot of anxiety and stress from just thinking about how they will repay them. Well good news: there are more than a few options that might work for you. Each of these options will vary for each person with different situations therefore it is only wise that you take the time out and consult a licensed insolvency firm or consultancy to discuss all your options first and then plan your repayment options accordingly. Your options include:

1. Bankruptcy
When discussing all debt repayment options, it is only wise to start with the most basic one: bankruptcy and work our way through. This type of debt repayment method involves minimum obligations and money that the creditors are likely to receive once the person files for bankruptcy. Usually people have to repay a very little amount of money to attain relief from their debts.

2. Consumer Proposal
The No.1 alternative to bankruptcy, consumer proposals allows a settlement offer with the creditors to repay a portion of your debt over a fixed period of five years. Once you pay off that fixed portion of your debt to your creditors, you are a free man; the remaining debt will be released. But the creditors must be offered or be able to receive much more than they would have received in a bankruptcy. If majority of the unsecured creditors approve of your consumer proposals, others too have to comply with it in case of few exceptional debts.

3. Debt Management Plan
Debt Management plan (DMP) is a viable option to repay debts. You simply need to consult your certified non-profit counselor if you can keep up with a budget with reduced interest rates. Debt Management Plan will help you pay all your debts in a period of a five years with reduced or no interest at all. In case your debts are tax debts, DMP will be of no help.

4. Consolidation
Consolidation may seem like a good idea if you are overburdened with debt. In consolidation of debts, the bank usually lends enough money so that you can combine all your debts into one with lower interest rates. This means reduced monthly payments, making the debt more affordable than before and additional repayment duration. However, this may not be an option for those who already have a bad credit rating.

5. Sell Assets or Liquidate
You may have sufficient assets to sell to pay off your debt but you may not be willing to do so, especially if it means selling your house and uprooting your family. Not only that there are other things to consider when selling assets such as home since there are possible tax consequences and their long term impacts on your retirement plan. So be sure if you want to go that way.

6. Budget
If you can make a budget work for you, you can easily repay your debts over time. If a person believes that just be reducing his spending he will be able to repay all his debts in a given amount of time, it is better to consult a credit counselor to kick start your budgeting plan. But once you do, stick to it.

 GTECS - Graphtheoretical Evaluation of Crystal Structures

Impressions ChemKrist-
Workshop 2013

GTECS 3D: A new Program for Graphtheoretical Evaluation of extended Network Structures

As the interest in the characterization of extended, periodic network-structures grew continuously in the last decades, the need for powerful visualization and algorithmic determination of the underlying nets increased likewise. Today, programs and databases like TOPOS or RCSR support precise and comprehensible description and comparison of complex frameworks. By drawing on graph-theory and high-end visualization we present the new, straightforward program GTECS3D for this purpose, which is being created in an interdisciplinary project of chemists, mathematicians and computer scientists supported by a Seed Fund project from RWTH Aachen University. By using the established ViSTA toolkit it is possible to run GTECS3D on standard PCs as well as on powerful 3D systems. Its development is focussed on the implementation of automated, easy-to-use functions based on standard CIF input files, assuring best compatibility with the whole diversity of network structures (especially with the tremendous variety of bridging ligands).

GTECS3D version 2.0 released!

Download version 2.0 here for free.

For more information please visit the description and getting started pages. If you use our program for publications please cite as stated here.

This work was funded by the Excellence Initiative of the German federal and state governments.

Fried Madagascar Cockroach, anyone?

Monday, June 9, 2014

We say, “The early bird gets the worm”—or if you like to sleep late you might rationalise that the early worm is eaten by the bird. But in Madagascar the saying is: “Comment pourriez-vous attraper les sauterelle pondeuses et faire la grasse matinée en meme temps?” (“One needs to wake up early in the morning to catch grasshoppers.”)

The difference in the sayings between who-eats-what is indicative of dissimilar food cultures. In western and Caribbean food culture insects are considered yucky and purely food for animals, or other insects. They definitely don’t belong on a plate. In many non-western cultures insects are an important source of nutrition—so much so that around the world two billion people supplement their diet with insect protein.

In case you’re wondering why grasshoppers are best caught in the morning, it is because they are coldblooded. They depend on energy from the sun to become active. And become active they certainly do. Some species of grasshopper can jump over 100 feet. Considering the human long-jump record is a measly 29 feet four and a quarter inches, grasshopper-catchers are well advised to rise before the sun does.

Ecocentrism: the respectful Aboriginal worldview

Balga in Noongar boodjar (Dwellingup Forest)Ancient Balga, grass tree, xanthorroea in Dwellingup forest, South West Western Australia.  Photo by Jenreflect, 20121104.

If we can respectfully wise up and change from calling ‘Ayres Rock’ after an English mining magnate turned politician to ‘Ayers Rock/Uluru’ in 1993, then to ‘Uluru/Ayers Rock’ in 2002, then we can just drop Henry Ayres from the Rock’s association altogether.  Henry Ayres was a 19th Century copper mining robber baron who devastated the landscape of Burra in South Australia.  A statue in Adelaide near parliament may be appropriate.

Likewise, if we can respectfully wisen up and change from calling this grass tree a ‘black boy’ to calling it a ‘xanthorroea’ then we can call it its traditional name ‘balga’.

“We never catch marron when the creek didn’t run, or the river didn’t run. Always catch marron when the water runs. That’s our culture. You gotta give ’em a chance to breed.

And if you got anything with eggs on ’em, you threw ’em back….We never had nets, yeah, we coulda made nets but we didn’t believe that, you know, you rape the country. So you gotta leave some for the breeding.”

– Partick Hume, 2008, oral history , Kaartdijin Noongar, South West Aboriginal Land and Sea Council, Western Australia.

‘Aboriginal people, not environmentalists, are our best bet for protecting the planet’

by David Suzuki, published in The Vancouver Sun, 20150608, ^  (contributed by our supporters Barbara and Stan).

<<… Using DNA to track the movement of people in the past, scientists suggest our species evolved some 150,000 years ago on the plains of Africa.  That was our habitat, but unlike most other animals, we were creative and used our brains to find ways to exploit our surroundings. We were far less impressive in numbers, size, speed, strength or sensory abilities than many others sharing our territory, but it was our brains that compensated.

Over time, our numbers increased and we moved in search of more and new resources (and probably to check out the Neanderthals with whom we crossbred before they went extinct). When we moved into new territories, we were an alien creature, just like the introduced ones that trouble us today.

George Monbiot of The Guardian makes the point that we can trace the movement of our species by a wave of extinction of the big, slow-moving, dim-witted creatures that we could outwit with even the simplest of implements like clubs, pits, and spears.

Our brains were our great evolutionary advantage, conferring massive memory, curiosity, inventiveness and observational powers.

I can’t emphasize that enough.

Our brains gave us a huge advantage and it did something I think is unique — it created a concept of a future, which meant we realized we could affect that future by our actions in the present. By applying our acquired knowledge and insights, we could deliberately choose a path to avoid danger or trouble, and to exploit opportunities. I believe foresight was a huge evolutionary advantage for our species. And that’s what is so tragic today when we have all the amplified foresight of scientists and supercomputers, which have been warning us for decades that we are heading down a dangerous path, but now we allow politics and economics to override this predictive power.

No doubt after we evolved, we quickly eliminated or reduced the numbers of animals and plants for which we found uses. We had no instinctive behavioural traits to restrict or guide our actions — we learned by the consequences of what we did. And all the mistakes that we made and successes that we celebrated were important lessons in the body of accumulating knowledge of a people in a territory.

That was very powerful and critical to understanding our evolutionary success – it was painstakingly acquired experience that became a part of the culture. We are an invasive species all around the world, and I find it amazing that our brains enabled us to move into vastly different ecosystems ranging from steaming jungles to deserts, mountains to arctic tundra, and to flourish on the basis of the painful accumulation of knowledge through trial and error, mistakes, etc.

So it was the people who stayed in place as others moved on, who had to learn to live within their means, or they died. That is what I believe is the basis of indigenous knowledge that has built up over millennia and that will never be duplicated by science because it is acquired from a profoundly different basis (I wrote about the differences in a book, Wisdom of the Elders). The wave of exploration hundreds of years ago brought a very different world view to new lands — North and South America, Africa, Australia — based on a search for opportunity, resources, wealth. There was no respect for flora and fauna except as potential for riches, and certainly no respect for the indigenous people and their cultures. Of course, by outlawing language and culture of indigenous peoples, dominant colonizers attempt to stamp out the cultures which are such impediments to exploitation of the land. Tom King’s book, The Inconvenient Indian, argues very persuasively that policies are to “get those Indians off the land”.

“There was no respect for flora and fauna except as potential for riches, and certainly no respect for the indigenous people and their cultures.”

I think of my grandparents as part of the wave of exploration of the past centuries.  They arrived in Canada from Japan between 1902 and 1904. When they came on a harrowing steamship trip, there were no telephones to Japan, no TV, radio, cellphones or computers.  They never learned English. They came on a one-way trip to Canada for the promise of opportunity.  Their children, my parents, grew up like all the other Japanese-Canadian kids at that time, with no grandparents and no elders. In other words, they had no roots in Japan or Canada. To them, land was opportunity. Work hard, fish, log, farm, mine, use the land to make money. And I believe that is the dominant ethic today and totally at odds with indigenous perspectives.

Remember when battles were fought over drilling in Hecate Strait, supertankers down the coast from Alaska, the dam at Site C, drilling for oil in ANWR, the dam to be built at Altamire in Brazil?

I was involved in small and big ways in these battles, which we thought we won 30 to 35 years ago.  But as you know, they are back on the agenda today. So our victories were illusions because we didn’t change the perspective through which we saw the issues.

“Our victories were illusions because we didn’t change the perspective through which we saw the issues.”

That’s what I say environmentalists have failed to do, to use the battles to get people to change their perspectives, and that’s why I have chosen to work with First Nations because in most cases, they are fighting through the value lenses of their culture.

The challenge is to gain a perspective on our place in nature. That’s why I have made one last push to get a ball rolling on the initiative to enshrine the right to a healthy environment in our constitution. It’s a big goal, but in discussing the very idea, we have to ask, what do we mean by a healthy environment. We immediately come to the realization that the most important factor that every human being needs to live and flourish is a breath of air, a drink of water, food and the energy from photosynthesis. Without those elements, we die.

So our healthy future depends on protecting those fundamental needs, which amazingly enough, are cleansed, replenished and created by the web of life itself. So long as we continue to let the economy and political priorities shape the discussion, we will fail in our efforts to find a sustainable future. I have been trying to tell business folk and politicians that, in the battle over the Northern Gateway, what First Nations are trying to tell us is that their opposition is because there are things more important than money.>>

Kaartdijin Noongar

Things more important than Money

Noongar people are the Aboriginal traditional owners of the south-west of Western Australia and have been for over 45,000 years.

<<Noongar boodja (country) extends from north of Jurien Bay, inland to north of Moora and down to the southern coast between Bremer Bay and east of Esperance. It is defined by 14 different areas with varied geography and 14 dialectal groups.

We have a deep knowledge and respect for our country, which has been passed down by our Elders.

Noongar people have a profound physical and spiritual connection to country. It relates to our beliefs and customs regarding creation, life and death, and spirits of the earth. Spiritual connection to country guides the way we understand, navigate and use the land. It also influences our cultural practices.

For thousands of years Noongar people have resided on and had cultural connection to the booja – land. Everything in our vast landscape has meaning and purpose. We speak our own language and have our own lore and customs. The lore is characterised by a strong spiritual connection to country. This means caring for the natural environment and for places of significance. Our lore relates to ceremonies, and to rituals for hunting and gathering when food is abundant and in season. Connection to booja is passed on through our stories, art, song and dance. Noongar people not only survived European colonisation but we thrived as family groups and sought to assert our rights to our booja. For Noongar people, the south-west of Western Australia is ngulla booja – our country.

Noongar lore and custom guide the ways in which we define our country and our rights to it. Lore influences how we connect with and care for the land. As Noongar people we have a duty to speak for our country, to acknowledge its value to our communities and to observe lore that governs who may or may not ‘speak for country’.

Noongar people have always used our knowledge of the six seasons in the south-west of Western Australia to hunt, fish, and gather only the most ripe and abundant food sources for our needs.

The rituals and ceremonies performed by Noongar people over many thousands of years reflect our sustainable use of the environment and reinforce our connection to country. These rituals include domestic and social customs that observe Noongar lore governing the use of land and resources. An important and significant part of Noongar culture is the teaching of sustainable environmental practices, handed down by our Elders.

Being Noongar is to be part of a family and community, which determines our relationship to country. The relationship to country empowers our identity as a Noongar person.>>

“We come here to this place here, Minningup, the Collie River, to share the story of this area or what makes it so special. It is the resting place of the Ngangungudditj walgu, the hairy faced snake. Baalap ngany noyt is our spirit and this is where he rests. You have big bearded full moon at night time you can see him, his spirit there, his beard resting in the water. And we come to this place here today to show respect to him plus also to meet our people because when they pass away this is where we come to talk to them. Not to the cemetery where they are buried but here because their spirits are in this water. This is where all our spirits will end up here. Karla koorliny we call it. Coming home. Ngany kurt, ngany karla – our heart, our home. This, our Beeliargu, is the river people. So that’s why we always come to this Minningup. It’s very important.

This is the important part of the river, of the whole Collie River and the Preston River and the Brunswick River, because he created all them rivers and all the waters but here is the most important because this is where he rest. So whenever we come back now – my cousin died the other day so we come back here, bring his spirit home because this is where he belong here. They will bury him with his mother and you sing out to him. Ngany moort koorliny. Ngany waanginy, dadjinin waanginy kaartdijin djurip. And we come and look there and talk to you old fellow. Your people have come back. Ngany waangkaniny. I talk now. Balap kaartdijin. Listen, listen. Palanni waangkaniny. Ngany moort koorliny noonook. Ngany moort wanjanin. Your people come to rest with you now. Listen old fellow, listen for ’em, bring them home. Karla koorliny. Bring them home and then you sing to them. (Singing in language) And then chuck sand to land in the water so he can smell you. That’s our rules. Beeliargu moort. That’s the river people. That’s why this place important.”

Memory-Manipulating Movies

Warp your child's mind
  (+12, -3)(+12, -3)
(+12, -3)
  [vote for,

Send us your home videos of your child - for example, meeting Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, or playing football with a friend, or watching dad as he sings in your kitchen.

When we return the video, it will show your child meeting Mickey Mouse *and* Bugs Bunny at Disneyland, or playing football with Wayne Rooney, or watching Elvis as he sings in your kitchen.

If your child is one of the (at least) 40% of people who form false memories after watching these kind of videos, then he will remember his childhood more fondly, gladly appreciating what wonderful parents you were to get Wayne Rooney to play football with him. You will also receive a photo of the event.

If he's not so easily influenced, the video will still seem like a nice 'silly' present for him, like those talking birthday cards with celebrity voices, or a personalised story book.

A low-cost way to provide a childhood full of special moments.*

* Purchaser agrees not to hold M-M M Studios responsible for any emotional or damages suffered by any party as a result of children discovering their parents are sneaky manipulative people who would deliberately toy with their child's mind for trivial purposes.

       Not funny. This is exactly what I've been facing for the last two years. You don't need tapes, the power of suggestion is strong in young children who haven't yet learnt to distinguish fact from fiction, especially when combined with positive reinforcement.

kuupuuluu, Jul 23 2006

       Those are very good points about the bitter divorcee situations, but you'll be glad to know M-M M screens all requests - we only create videos showing positive, fun experiences, not negative ones such as [James Newton] describes.

       As [kuupuuluu] notes, we are relatively liberal in deciding what counts as a positive experience. Wayne Rooney.. hmm, okay. Dad molesting goat? Maybe not.

       As for the other partner arguing in court that your having given your child one of our fun, silly videos shows your unsuitability as a parent, or is a prime example of your evilly manipulative nature, you're on your own there.

Hamlet Mountaineering

HAmlet Blog

When Ice is nice

The odd day of ice climbing has presented itself through January and February. With the mountains being black one day and white it next it has been difficult to find good conditions.

Despite the poor weather there has been selective days of high pressure and beautiful climbing conditions.

Mid January my good friend Iain Smith appeared on my door step having hitched all the way from Stirling, an impressive task in itself. We packed ropes, rack and sorted out gear getting excited about the day to come. 5am came round all too quickly and we grabbed bags and made a get away. The target, 1978 route on the side of An Teallach. However as we walked into the corrie sinking knee deep into fluffy white powder we started to realise that maybe conditions were not as fabulous as we’d hoped. Not to be deterred we walked into the base of the route where the rock all looked white, unfortunately this turned out to be nothing more than a dusting on top of dry sand stone. We did spot some ice at the bottom of an approach gully to Lord’s Gully so we though that looked nice. Managing to place an ice screw it felt like we were in business. It was short lived and there didn’t seem to be a way forward as large chunks of wet snow fell off with every swing. Soon we were running away tail between legs. Not wanting to be put off we opted to finish up Lord’s gully via the left hand side. Another hour and a half saw us to the start of the ‘technical’ section. Three pitches later we squirmed though a cave and out to the summit ridge. Now dark we knew we were in for the long haul, on top of Sail liath at 8pm having been dark for over 3 hours already. Back at the car for 22:30. A brilliant 14 hour day on the hill.

Glenmore lodges winter climbing festival in January gave rise to another day’s climbing. This time being guided by Al Halewood. Invernookie is a grade III 4 in Coire an t’Sneachda and a classic of the coire. It was a great choice for the day as the wind was spinning over the ridge. Climbing beside North Face sponsored athlete Hansjoerg Auer I felt slightly out of place.

With my enthusiasm returning for winter climbing I soon found myself back in the Cairngorms once again. This time climbing in Coire an Lochain on a fantastic route called The Milky Way. Conditions were spot on and although there was the odd spot of poor snow on the whole it was fantastic.

You’ve seen her larger siblings, now meet the baby of the family and the smallest of them all, the Mini Bespoke Bag. New for Spring-Summer 2016 and adorably sized at 15 cm by 14 cm by 5 cm, this little wonder is also riding a trend that doesn’t seem to be going away any time soon. One that’s all about how small is beautiful, especially when it also comes with an additional sling that can be used with the bag as a crossbody or a shoulder, or without the sling and as the cutest clutch possible yet.

Priced at just SGD1549, it’s also a great price, especially when you consider that it’s made of full leather as well, and with colours available in Singapore being Black andPastel Pink, you just need to decide which one would be a better choice as far as your own wardrobe is concerned.

Scaling & Root Planing

The initial stage of periodontal treatment is usually a thorough cleaning that may include scaling to remove plaque and tartar deposits beneath the gum line. Tooth roots may also be planed to smooth the root surface promoting the gum tissue to heal and reattach to the tooth.

Bacteria in periodontal pockets beyond certain depths can be increasingly difficult to access and remove. While treatment of these areas with scaling and root planing remains essential, it may not be adequate alone in establishing long-term health. Consequently, surgery may be needed to restore periodontal health.

Antibiotics may be selectively used locally or systemically as an adjunctive treatment to scaling and root planing to further improve the outcome of treatment.

Ten tips to sell your home in ten days

Are you in a hurry to sell your home? Or are you feeling impatient now you have committed to selling? There are no guarantees, but here are some sure-fire ways to grease the wheels of your sale:

1. The right time to sell

Knowing the right time to sell can depend on many factors. For example, it makes a difference if your property is a three-bedroom home with a garden or a studio flat. The family buying your three-bedroom home could be reluctant to move during the summer holidays – not only are they likely to use that time for their annual holiday, but it would be far easier to pack the house when the children are in school all day!

Read more about when to sell your property.

Your estate agent will be able to guide you through this process, and you can always call and get their opinion ahead of committing to your sale. However, a swift sale may be necessary due to specific circumstances meaning there is no chance to pick the best time. That’s when settling on the right price with your agent can make all the difference.

Find a Guild Agent in your local area.

2. Is the price is right?

Price is everything. It’s important you explain your time-frame to your agent when you instruct them and make it clear what your aims are. For your own reference, you can compare your property like-for-like with similar properties in the local area to give you an idea of what is achievable. If you are desperate for a speedy sale it could be that a slightly lower price will move the process along, but speak with your agent – their advice will be based on their detailed, in-depth knowledge of the market.

Read more about how to spot an overpriced house.

3. Declutter and clean all

Chuck out everything you don’t need and then give what’s left a thorough clean! Nothing will put people off quicker than a muddled mess. Let the features and space shine through your furniture and personality to capture your prospective buyer’s imagination.

4. Pack up your troubles

Wanting to turn your property around in a matter of days means being seriously organised, especially when it comes to the large, time consuming jobs. Packing is a bit of an unknown quantity, depends on how much ‘stuff’ you have, and how much you threw away in your clean and declutter phase. Whether you mean to hoard or not, removing around a third of your furniture and things will make your home look even better.

However, no one wants to shuffle around a room avoiding the fort of boxes in the centre of what should be your dining room. So, unless you have ample room in the garage for a discreet line of boxes that won’t be sabotaging a viewing, rent some storage. You will be so ahead of the game that you can move out almost at a moment’s notice.

5. Get your paperwork straight

Do you know where your title deeds are? If you have just decluttered, clean and then packed you certainly should! Legal delays can often slow a sale down and there is no need for you to postpone your move because you haven’t dug the deeds out of the box under your bed.

6. All the world’s a stage

Pretend your house is a show home: you are selling a lifestyle to someone, so don’t overlook the small details. Although packing ahead of time is good, leaving your home completely bare isn’t the aim. A sofa cushion seems a trivial item, but it can imply comfort and relaxation. Indicating to your potential buyer this is a space to unwind after a long week, or a place to curl up on a winter’s evening – it could make all the difference.

7. Leave no space unused and unloved

Your spare room doesn’t need to look spare, and it certainly needn’t be a dumping ground. Even if you are using it as a dressing room, sort the floor-drobe out and transform it into a dressing room. Wherever possible you should make the most of the space in your property – if you are selling home with a dining room, put a table in it!

8. Wow-factor kerb appeal
First impressions are so important – many people make their minds up about a house within seconds. Make your potential buyer want to live in your property, to be proud to call it home. Cleaning and decluttering is just as important outside as it is inside, so remove toys, weeds, gnomes, wash the windows, and so on.

Read more about maximising your kerb appeal.

9. Shout it from the rooftops

If you want to sell your home fast, people need to know you’re selling it! A Guild agent will provide you with a comprehensive package to market your property, however if doesn’t hurt to tell people you’re moving, after all someone at the local shop may know someone who is looking to buy in your area.

10. Always be prepared

Your home should be ready to view at a moments’ notice. Whether you have a strict timeframe or not, making viewings difficult will absolutely get in the way of selling your home.

You probably know that it’s wrong to put a cotton swab in your ear, but do you do it anyway? There are better ways to deal with earwax, both at home and with the help of a medical professional.

Risky Business

The ear can easily be damaged with aggressive home cleaning. You should never put anything in your ears: not swabs, not hairpins, not a twist of fabric. These techniques can injure sensitive tissues and even rupture your eardrum.

Putting anything in your ear tends to compact earwax—also called cerumen—leading to more hearing problems, not less.

Understanding earwax

It may be a surprise, but earwax is actually a good thing. It protects your ears from materials like dust and shedding skin cells. These particles are trapped by the wax and then are pushed out of the ear canal by jaw movement. Too little earwax can actually result in dry, uncomfortable ears.

Professional cleaning

Some people never need a professional cleaning. However, others with excessive earwax production or narrow ear canals benefit greatly from medical assessment and earwax removal. An impacted ear canal can be both a hearing problem and a source of pain or discomfort.

A doctor should examine your ears when you experience:

  • Partial hearing loss
  • Ringing or noises in the ear (tinnitus)
  • Earache
  • A plugged feeling
  • Odor or discharge
  • Itching

To remove earwax, a hearing specialist will use specialized instruments, a microscope, and suction. Special care needs to be taken if you have narrow ear canals, diabetes or a weak immune system.

Approved Home Care

After a professional cleaning, you can help keep your ears clean with the right methods. Home treatments to soften and remove wax include:

  • Oil or glycerin drops
  • Commercial ear drops
  • Detergent drops (including hydrogen peroxide)
  • Irrigation
  • Syringing

Irrigation should be done with solutions warmed to body temperature to prevent dizziness. If you suspect a perforated eardrum or have medical issues complicating ear cleaning, consult with your doctor instead.

Don’t be tempted to try ear candles, which are not recommended for ear cleaning. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns that these products can result in injuries.

Excessive earwax is a common problem. If you repeatedly experience impacted earwax, periodic cleanings at Hearing Associates will prevent hearing problems and discomfort. Contact us today to schedule your appointment.

Safety Advice As Flying Scotsman visits Hampshire

21 May 2016, 06:22

Network Rail warning Fans of the famous Flying Scotsman to keep off the tracks and enjoy a safe day out as the iconic 1930's locomotive visits Hampshire

Thousands of train lovers are likely to crowd stations and bridges when the famous Flying Scotsman visits Hampshire later.

The iconic 1930s steam engine is due to head to Southampton, Eastleigh and Romsey - as part of a nationwide tour.

The trip was in doubt after a mechanical problem but it's been fixed.

Transpotters are being warned to stay away from the tracks - after trespassers were caught on the East Coast Main Line to get a glimpse of the locomotive in February.

Flying Scotsman returned to the East Coast Main Line, an electrified line, after a 10-year, £4.2million refurbishment by the National Railway Museum in February with an inaugural journey from London King’s Cross to York which was greeted by thousands of people lining the route.

However, the day was marred in parts by several dangerous incidents of trespass, where members of the public were seen walking along the tracks and taking photographs of the locomotive while other trains continued to pass on opposing lines.

Photographs shared online show crowds of people, including young children, stood in the path of oncoming trains with their view obscured by plumes of steam and smoke from the engine.

All trains on the East Coast Main Line had to be stopped as a result, causing a combined total of over eight hours of delays (516 minutes) to 59 train services and costing taxpayer-funded Network Rail almost £60,000 in compensation to train operators.

Flying Scotsman tours the UK throughout the summer and on Saturday 21 and Saturday 28 May will make return journeys from London Paddington to Reading and Salisbury. In preparation for these trips, Network Rail, the British Transport Police and other industry partners are warning those who are planning a visit of the dangers of straying onto the tracks. In particular, the added risk of electrocution, as part of the rail network in these areas is powered by electricity via a third rail DC electrical system. The third rail, the conductor rail, is located to the side of the railway tracks and cannot be switched off due to the large number of other trains using the network.

Mark Langman, Network Rail’s managing director for the Western route, said: “I’m sure the enthusiasm and passion that has been shown elsewhere in the country for this historic train will be replicated when it travels along Brunel’s railway. While it’s great to see this support for steam engines, and the railway itself, the images of people stood on the railway taking photographs were deeply concerning.
“As well as being illegal, I cannot stress enough how dangerous it is to go onto the railway without any formal training and without permission. I am urging those who plan to enjoy seeing Flying Scotsman in the coming days to do so from a safe position and to not go onto the railway under any circumstances. I’d like to thank those who have observed safe practices during the Scotsman’s runs so far and ask others to follow that example.”

Saftey Advice

Chief inspector David Oram from the British Transport Police said: “We understand people are excited about seeing the Flying Scotsman’s return and want them to have a great day out.
“Our priority is the safety of the public and passengers viewing and travelling on the train. The railway is a hazardous environment and we would urge people to use safe vantage points to view and take pictures of the train, stay clear of the line and not be tempted to risk their lives and the lives of others by trespassing on the tracks.
“To ensure the safety of those wanting to see the Flying Scotsman we have been in extensive planning discussions with the rail industry. Our aim is that members of the public are able to enjoy these great events by understanding the dangers, being responsible, staying within the law and most importantly - keeping safe.

“Trespassing on the tracks to view the service is not only extremely dangerous and can result in the train’s journey being delayed, but it is an offence for which the offender risks being brought before the courts, a fine of £1,000 and a criminal record. Where people are found to be trespassing, we will take proportionate and necessary action against them.”
Jim Lowe, head of operations at the National Railway Museum, who purchased the iconic locomotive for the Nation in 2004 and restored it to steam through a complex overhaul said: “While we understand interest in our celebrity loco Flying Scotsman will continue to be extremely high, we urge those wishing to view it on its UK tour dates do so from a safe vantage point.
“It is vital that spectators do not venture onto the railway, particularly when it is on the mainline as a full timetable of regular services will be running. In order to avoid overcrowding and incidents of trespass neither ourselves nor our partners will be publishing recommended viewing points or the timetable of when the train will be passing through specific locations – this includes positioning moves.
“We wish those who are taking journeys on trains hauled by the steam icon or going to see it at an event over the coming months an enjoyable experience.”

Late Menopause

Menopause is defined as the cessation of menstrual periods due to decreased estrogen production. This phase of life officially begins 12 months after periods have stopped. For most women menopause begins between the ages of 40 and 60, with the average age being 51. While the definition of menopause may sound somewhat simple, it is a complex stage of life that affects almost every system in the female body.

Menopause can manifest itself in various symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, memory loss, vaginal dryness, depression, osteoporosis, and decrease in sexual desire, to name just a few.

Most women experience some discomfort during this period, so many women turn to herbal remedies, drugs, and hormones, to alleviate their symptoms. However, one group of women have to deal with the difficulties associated with another problem —- that of late menopause, sometimes referred to as delayed menopause.

Causes of Late Menopause

While there isn’t a clear definition of late menopause, if a woman reaches age 55 or older and still hasn’t started menopause it is usually considered late. Studies have been done to determine what influences the early or late onset of menopause, but there are still many unknowns. However, the following factors seem to have some bearing on the timing:

  • Family History — If your mother experienced a late menopause, you are more likely to experience a late menopause also.
  • Smoking — Women who smoke for many years tend to experience an earlier menopause.
  • Nutrition — Good nutritional habits tend to support a later menopause.
  • Alcohol Use — Moderate use of alcohol tends to support a later menopause, although alcohol abuse may cause an earlier menopause.
  • Number of Children — Women who have never been pregnant tend to experience earlier menopause. Likewise, the more children a woman has had, the later the onset of menopause. However, studies on this issue have been conflicting.
  • Thyroid Disorders — The thyroid regulates metabolism; when it isn’t functioning properly it can affect a woman’s reproductive system causing either an early or a late menopause.

Benefits of Late Menopause

Besides delaying the emotional aspect of going through this phase of life there are a few other potential benefits of late menopause, although they are somewhat controversial. The greatest benefit can be cited in a 2003 study in Norway, reported by the American Journal of Epidemiology. The study found that women who experience menopause after the age of 52 have a longer life expectancy.

Other benefits include:

  • A delay of menopausal symptoms, although perimenopause comes with its own set of discomforts.
  • A woman has a longer child-bearing period, if she is interested in having a child during her mid-life years. However, these late pregnancies carry higher risks for mothers and babies.
  • A woman continues to produce estrogen, which helps prevent osteoporosis and heart disease.

Unfortunately, there is another side to this, as the risk of some cancers escalates.

Dangers of Late Menopause

The downside of late menopause revolves primarily around the fact that the body experiences longer exposure to estrogen. Because of this, there is increased risk for breast, uterine, ovarian, and colon cancer.

There are some women in particular who may be at higher risk if their menopause begins late. They are:

  • If there is a family history of ovarian cancer, women who began menstruating before the age of 12 who have never conceived, but may have undergone fertility treatments to try to become pregnant may be at higher risk of developing ovarian cancer.
  • Obese women have increased health risks as fat cells tend to retain estrogen longer, so ovarian cancer risk increases.
  • Women with high density breast tissue are at increased risk for breast cancer.

The Bottom Line

To some extent, there is little that one can do to control when menopause begins. The rules of healthy living pretty much apply here, as one cannot alter one’s genes or family health history. Eating a well-balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and exercising are smart options for every woman, as are having regular check-ups and mammograms. If there is cause for concern regarding your menstrual/menopausal cycles, the best course of action is to talk with your doctor.
