AusPharm Photo of the week
APHS CEO sleeps rough to help homeless :: : 22/06/2012 :
APHS Packaging CEO Cathie Reid joined 150 other beanie-clad business leaders to sleep rough in Brisbane last night for the annual Vinnies CEO Sleepout.
Cathie said APHS staff, suppliers, customers and friends had rallied behind her to raise more than $10,000 for St Vincent de Paul homeless services, double her target.
So far, this year's Vinnies CEO Sleepout events around the country have raised more than $4.5 million.
The challenge of (remote) indigenous pharmaceutical care :: : 15/06/2012 :
This in from a colleague in a remote indigenous community.
'This man is on warfarin when he takes it - severe mitral valve disease.'
'Sister, can you fill my medicine box'.
Bonjela :: Leo Hamulczyk : 01/06/2012 :
Recently I have been in Turkey, and one of my tasks given to me by my colleagues at work was to bring back Pashmina shawls/scarves as they were annoyed at me when I came back from Iran 3 years ago without bringing back any of the cheap Pashmina shawls I told them about.
So I was surprised to find one of the major brand of Pashmina scarves in Turkey is Bonjela!
Panamax Applause :: : 25/05/2012 :
Panamax Applause was in Port Phillip Bay recently and a colleague was on the pilot launch and got this photo.
I have suggested he contact the current manufacturer to see if they might like to use it in an ad. I think they will like the applause bit.

Collectables :: Mike Hobbs : 18/05/2012 :
'Listers may be interested to know that Aldi may still have some of
these collectors items left in stock.
Yes, that's right! A stainless steel shafted loo brush in a porcelain base inscribed
with the name of a French Pharmacy!
Rationale? Your guess is as good as mine.

Prescriptions Accurately Dispensed :: Kristine Hall : 05/04/2012 :
On a recent trip to Swan Hill, Victoria, I visited the Pioneer Settlement, an open-air museum set in the 1850`s. This is J.H.Barker Chemist, situated on the main street.
I have learnt some chemists in the day were not so accurate. Friendly societies were apparently started in the 1840`s partly in response to the fact that many chemists commonly adulterated their drugs.

Indian temple :: Archana Haria : 30/03/2012 :
In the absence of a new Photo of the week, this is a rerun of a photo first published almost excactly 6 years ago today, on 30th May 2008.
Approximately 40km out of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, situated on the Bay on Bengal facing the Indian ocean is a place called Mahabalipuram (a mouthful of a word that has taken me a few days to perfect!). A 1300 year old temple built by the Pallava Dynasty stands there defiant of the change in times. The beautiful hand carved rock faces of the temple exemplify the amazing skills mathematical, engineering and artistic in 'those times'.
We saw THE most AWESOME display of skill I've seen....there was a whole series of temples and sculptures all carved from ONE giant rock (half the size of Uluru?)...all this was done in the 8th century as well....what was more amazing was that there were no tools or machinery...everything was made by 'rock against rock' and the beauty and detail of the carvings were amazing...all though it is not as defined anymore due to the wearing off of the rock by the changing times and the sea air....i stood in awe at this architectural wonder though...now claimed as a world heritage...how they could create something from a giant rock was very spectacular!
