The researchers trained both individuals and couples cou-ples to practice skin self-examination, self-examination, finding that the couples conducted the tests more frequently, and thoroughly, resulting in reduced odds of developing devel-oping skin cancer. "A simple head-tp-toe skin check should be done at least once every month," said Perry Robins, Rob-ins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation. "Conducting the exam with a partner can dramatically dra-matically reduce the risk for skin cancer and could possibly be the difference between life and death," said Dr. Robins.

The Icelandic settlers were not always well accepted. ac-cepted. When they first arrived here in the 1850's, they were looked down upon by the other settlers. They built dugouts along the bench area of Spanish Span-ish Fork, and marriage with an Icelander was not looked upon favorably.
