I am highjacking the Atomic Insights feed and blog site for a brief advertisement. People who visit the site instead of receiving posts via RSS feed might have noticed a series of profile photo changes as I went clean shaven for the first time in 28 years and as I have gradually replaced my mustache with a new "mo" - as they say in Australia. You may or may not understand the reason for that...

What is it about prostate cancer that makes men want to grow moustache for the entire month of November? Oh yeah, the international men's heath campaign, Movember . That's "Mo" for Moustache, and the Movember Foundation wants men to sport their best handlebar, soul patch or aspiring scruff to "change the face of men's health" by raising funds and awareness for men's cancers-- specifically...
Movember began in 2003 when a group of guys joked over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia, that it was time to bring the moustache back. To justify their Mos (Australian slang for moustache), they used their new ’staches to raise money for prostate cancer research. Now that bar room conversation has turned into a global movement raising money for prostate cancer research and getting men talking...

My inability to grow facial hair into a full beard or goatee leaves me to wonder where my genes came from since there are beard and moustache-wearing guys among my male relatives. It usually doesn't bug me too much accept during the month of Movember because I know my mo won't be as robust as most of the others. But then, that's not the...
While growing a Mo is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (women who support their guys) form an important part of Movember by recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds and attending the highly anticipated Gala Partés. This Movember , the money raised in the U.S. will be split between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money...
