* Every year in New Zealand 2,656 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 600 die of the disease, making prostate cancer the second largest cause of male deaths, after lung cancer.

* The average life expectancy of a man in New Zealand is 4 years less than a woman.

White Ribbon Day, 25 November, is the international day when people wear a white ribbon to show that they do not condone men's violence towards women.
It was started by a men's movement in Canada in 1991 and has been officially adopted by the United Nations as its International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. www.whiteribbon.com
New Zealand has a high rate of men's violence towards women. In 2004 there were just over 3,100 convictions recorded against men for assaults on a woman and a 2001 national victims of crime study showed that close to one in five women experienced sexual assault or sexual interference at some point in their lives. you can read more on www.whiteribbon.org.nz ... read more >>

Week one into Movember and I have some recognisable hair that could be called a mow, as well as a strip of hair under my lip called a tickler, I have noticed some guys around town have already got a well formed mow in only seven days, well I would be lucky to get to that stage at the end of the month, but I will see. - Eric
