Free health check at a pharmacy
Just visited the Priceline Bondi Junction Pharmacy that has a machine to give you a free health check in 4 mins. You can check body mass and blood pressure to see any warning signs. Results are shown on the screen and you can sign up to an app afterwards to keep track of them. It was a good experience and a good reason to visit a Priceline Pharmacy.

Kite Pride
KitePride Is an Israeli fashion social enterprise based in Telavi owned by Israeli NGO Hope Center and German NGO GlowbalAct.  They create one-of-a-kind BAGS from up-cycled kitesurfing kite, sail, parachute and wetsuits to provide jobs for survivors of human trafficking and prostitution. Through each bag sold, continuous jobs are created, and fabric is saved from landfill. Every bag is designed, and sewn, by someone who has exited human trafficking and prostitution.  Each unique upcycled bag is sewn in a safe environment by these survivors. The business dream was to end human trafficking and forced prostitution.   http://kitepride.com

Serving the public good
Paul Keating again demonstrated his intellectual depth and developed maturity in a well-crafted statement about the death of the Queen.   Of particular importance is the message:   “In the 20th century, the self became privatised, while the public realm, the realm of the public good, was broadly neglected.”   We should all take heed of this message in our daily lives as individuals, families, work, and as citizens of our nation and the world community.   Our politicians need to operate not in terms of power or party dogma but the public good that the electorate understands and knowingly supports.
