AUSTRALIAN men are being urged to complete a health assessment, titled What’s your Score, in the lead up to Men’s Health Week 2012 (11-17 June). The survey is aimed at getting men to think about their health, and is based on questions developed by Foundation 49, Diabetes Australia and the Skin Cancer College. Questions covered in the survey include: Have you had your last cholesterol checked in the past year? When did you last have your blood pressure checked? Have you ever discussed your testosterone levels with your GP? and Have you had your skin checked? The campaign has the support of the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, and features Kos Sclavos and various sports celebrities. Men’s Health Week is urging pharmacies to get involved by ordering campaign resources via ww.whatsyourscore.com.au or by holding an in-store event to tie in with the campaign throughout Men’s Health Week 2012.

ANZ at Abbott Laboratories. “This is a genuinely exciting time for the industry in Australia and I am looking forward to working with the board and with our member companies to ensure we can capitalise on some of those opportunities,� said Masterson. “While the industry is facing many challenges here and internationally, fundamentally this is an industry that deserves greater recognition for the value it brings to society,� he added. Masterson’s appointment follows the departure of Will Delaat, who retired as independent Chairman of Medicines Australia after 14 years on the board and six as Chairman.

New kid on the block THE first new health insurance company to join the Australian market in more than 23 years has arrived on our shores, health.com.au. Owned and operated in Australia, the company’s parent is NIA Ltd. According to a statement from health.com.au, the company deals with customers online, and as such will not have shop fronts. The fund’s website will provide customers with access to its product and policy, whilst all claims will also be processed online 24 hours a day, with rebates paid directly into bank accounts. “At health.com.au we see a gap in the market when it comes to simplifying health cover, and believe we will solve a problem for consumers,� said company CEO Andy Sheats.

Lips need a bit of bedazzeling Estee Lauder’s limited edition Pure Colour Gloss Sequins Finish, features a hybrid texture which is said to combine the fluidity of a gloss with the softness of a lip cream, for an overall lacquered lip look. The formula is kicked up a notch in the shine stakes with the addition of pearlescent particles which create a sparkling effect for and a mirror-like shine finish. The gloss also features Vitamins C and E to protect and nourish lips, as well as multi-functional humectants which enhance lips’ emolliency and moisturisation levels. To cap it all off, the gloss is lightly scented with a fruity fig fragarance. The range comes in four colour groupings: Nude (Molten Honey), Berry (Cosmic Pink and Fuschia Vibes), Coral & Red (Double Dare), and Plum (Violet Rain and Purple Passion), and is set to launch nationwide in June.

A blast of antioxidants Bioceutical’s new Selenium Forte oral spray is a once daily treatment which delivers the maximum allowable daily dose of selenium (142.8mcg) in just one pump. Selenium is a trace mineral whose antioxidant properties are said to help to prevent cellular damage from free radicals. The mineral also supports heart, thyroid and immune system functions. Another important role that the selenium can play is it may reduce the absorption of arsenic, cadmium and mercury in patients who have been exposed to these metals. As an added plus for Bioceutical’s Selenium Forte spray, it is flavoured mint, so rather than users suffering selenium supplement after-taste, they can enjoy minty mouth freshness. RRP: $29.00 Stockist: 1300 650 455 Website: www.bioceuticals.com.au

What do princesses wear out for an evening? Style icon Vera Wang has launched a new scent, Vera Wang Princess Night, described as “chic, intoxicating and mysterious�. Sporting the tag line “Anything is possible after midnight�, the perfume features top notes of wild berries, watermelon and sweet raspberry, a heart of jasmine, spicy orange blossom and passion rose, and is finished off with crushed sugar, musk and vanilla. Vera Wang places the scent in the Floral, exotic woody category. The bottle holding the perfume is crafted to conjure up the sparkle of city lights, and is covered in purple glitter and topped with a silver crown with purple jewel-like accents. RRP: $49.00 (50ml), $69.00 (100ml) Stockist: 1800 812 663 Website: www.verawangfragrances.com

',63(16$5< &251(5 SOMETIMES needles need to be given without a sweet treat. The 90kg black bear was taking a break from his studies at the University of Colorado, sitting in a tree on campus and daydreaming, when he was discovered by startled students. Not sure of what to do the students called authorities and soon the bear was surrounded by animal experts who, instead of trying the pot of honey approach that worked so well for Winnie the Pooh, opted for a rather more serious option, a tranquiliser gun. After getting stung by the gun the bear fell from the tree onto a specially laid crash pad, before he was carted off to wake up free, albeit a little groggy, in the mountains west of Boulder. ARTISTIC accidents? A 23 year old Chilean artist, Don Lucho, is turning more than a few heads with his latest creations, realistic looking road accidents made out of cardboard and bits of recycled goods. The artworks include life-size models of smashed up cars and aeroplanes which have been strategically placed on the streets of Santiago. One such artwork involves a small aeroplane which looks to have crashed into some trees in a popular city park, whilst another involves a seriously damaged car which appears to have crashed into a stop sign. “I wanted people to come across a scene of an accident that hasn’t just happened,� said Lucho. “The confusion people feel when they first encounter the scene makes them doubt what is real and what impact it should have on them,� he added.
