This month we focus our attention on the big topic that is Life. Kazeem found a remarkable parallel between his recent 10mile race for charity and Life as he knows it. Further information about about the race is available on this webblog (http://iforg.com/blog/?p=320).

On the 25th of October 2009, I took part in the Great South run to raise money for Sickle Cell Society(link). The race was held at Portsmouth, a waterfront city in the south of England with great naval heritage. I am reliably informed that the city has the world’s oldest dry dock and is the home of Vice Admiral Nelson’s (of the Battle of Trafalgar fame) flagship HMS Victory. I should check this out one of these days (link + link). The race itself is 10miles long and represents a great challenge for me. The only long distance race I have ever done is the Lymington 10k race in May of this year(10/05/2009 + link). So as you can gather, I am no athlete!
The preparation:
Before even considering practise, I had to be sure I could partake in the race. The demand for a place on a race like this one is always high and I was concerned that I might not be able to get on. So Iforg Limited put up a £200 fund to support RNLI Lifeboats and was therefore able to race for them. RNLI Lifeboats (link) is a great charity that ‘aims to save lives by changing attitudes and behaviour among people who use the sea regularly’. Once I got on the race, the preparation started in earnest. My set aims were to complete the race and maybe achieve a better time than I managed in the previous 10k race (5.4mins/km).

This month we focus on the growing phenomenon of social media and we provide a whistle-stop tour of key socia media technologies. We will also explain how we are currently adopting the concept and how we will be using it in the future.

In an attempt to maximise our reach as a business, we have created a business Facebook page where our clients and potential clients can interact with us. The Facebook page will complement our CEO’s Twitter page (www.twitter.com/iforg).
You can easily access the page by visiting: www.iforg.com/facebook. We plan to host debates and discussion about topics we are aiming to research and/or blog about.
We will (in future) be using this page as a project recruitment tool. So there are number of good reasons to become a fan of this group.
Webmaster,
Iforg Limited

Starting a project that focuses solely on the support for and recruitment of Pharmacy Technician and support staff has always been at the back of our mind at Iforg Limited. Especially since we conceived the idea of bookapharmacist.com (Hampshire Project). Kate Penhaligon, a former project facilitator and podcaster general, for Iforg Limited had the distinct pleasure of the naming this project Cornwall whilst with us. Kate, a pharmacy technician, hailed from that part of the UK.
We have received a number of interests from pharmacy technicians and we just couldn’t put this project off any longer. So today the 31st of August 2009, we have decided to launch this project. This is project: Cornwall (a sister project to project Hampshire from the Iforg Limited stable). The two projects will share a similar motto: nil volentibus arduum (Nothing is impossible for the willing).
This is a locum agency with a twist for Pharmacy Technicians and support staffs. The twist is in the level of unparalleled support we will offer to those who come along with us. This time we will be deploying cloud computing technologies as provided by Microsoft.
It makes sense to start this project now so that we can take along with us technicians and support staff who are passionate enough to want to come along with us.
The home of the project will be www.pharmacytech.co.uk and www.pharmacydispensers.co.uk OR on our project wiki (click here)

Map of Cornwall from: http://www.visitcornwall.com/
Cornwall is a county of England in the United Kingdom, forming the tip of the south-western peninsula of Great Britain. It is bordered to the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the English Channel, and to the east by the county of Devon, over the River Tamar. Taken with the Isles of Scilly Cornwall has a population of 531,600, and covers an area of 3,563 km2 (1,376 sq mi). The administrative centre and only city is Truro.
The area now known as Cornwall was first inhabited by Neolithic and then Bronze Age peoples, and later (in the Iron Age) by Celts. Cornwall is part of the Brythonic (Celtic) area of Britain, separated from Wales after the Battle of Deorham, often coming into conflict with the expanding English kingdom of Wessex before King Athelstan in 936 A.D. set the boundary between English and Cornish people at the Tamar. Today, Cornwall’s economy struggles after the decline of the mining and fishing industries, and has become more dependent on tourism: however some decline in this has also occurred. The area is noted for its wild moorland landscapes, its extensive and varied coastline and its mild climate.
Cornwall is the homeland of the Cornish people and diaspora, and is recognised as one of the “Celtic nations” by many residents and organisations. It continues to retain its distinct identity, with its own history, language and culture. Some inhabitants question the present constitutional status of Cornwall, and a self-government movement seeks greater autonomy within the UK.
