If you want to get a job, you&#39;ve got to get the basics right!&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;None of what I am about to say is new, and it&#39;s certainly not rocket science. That being said, people are still not getting the basics of job hunting right! So here we go, my top five tips for applying for a job based on my experience of being an employer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. Do exactly what the employer is asking for in the job advert&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;This means you must provide all the information the employer is asking for and in the format she is asking. So, if the employer wants you to put a pitch in two pages, do it! Don&#39;t write a pitch in six pages! If you are asked to answer selection criteria, for goodness sake, answer the selection criteria!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;If you miss out an element of the application, for example do not address selection criteria, or do not follow formatting instructions, your application will not even be considered for short listing, especially if there are a large number of applications. If you cannot even get an application right, how will you perform in the job is what the employer will be thinking.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Give your future employer a KISS!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Not a real kiss, obviously - you&#39;d don&#39;t want to miss out on an interview because the employer thinks you are weird. What I mean is: Keep It Simple Stupid. Write in plain English. Make sure you get all your grammar and spelling correct. Be concise.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;This is particularly important with your CV.&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;Employers do not have time to wade themselves through pages and pages of your CV. I have 40 years of career to talk about, so I focus on elements that are of particular relevance to my job application in my CV, and summarise very briefly my career history.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;As an employer, I hate fancy and colourful CVs especially when they do not have the content to back them up. But obviously, if you&#39;re applying for a marketing job, a colourful CV might be totally appropriate. I would also advise that you do not put your photo on your CV because there is the potential to bias the employer against you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;3. Speak to the employer/recruiter/contact person before you submit your application&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;There are several advantages of speaking to the employer/contact person before you submit your application. You will be able find out more about the job which will help your application. It may also give you an advantage against the rest of the applicants - the employer will remember you and give you a &quot;brownie point&quot; for taking the time to ring up. Of course, that can also go against you if you make a bad impression over the phone, so be very polite and ask sensible questions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;4. Be prepared at your interview&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Do your homework! Read up as much as you can about your future employer. Talk to others about the company/organisation. The more prepared you are, the easier you will find it to answer questions and the more interested in the job you will appear to the interviewer.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Have stories prepared to tell which demonstrate what your experience and skills are; how you go about doing your work; what you have achieved in your current and previous roles. Stories will back up your claims about how good you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Dress smartly, even if you are having a phone or online interview. It drives me mad when I see applicants dressed scruffy for a job interview. Makes me think you are not serious about the interview, and makes me doubt how serious you are about the job.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;5. Follow up your interview with a &#39;thank you&#39; call&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;It can feel humiliating to call up the employer after the interview, especially if you think you did badly. But again, it keeps you in the employer&#39;s consciousness. I interviewed a person a little while ago. I didn&#39;t give them the job but because they rang me to thank me and took my feedback very well, I thought of them when the next vacancy came up and give it to them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I hope you find these tips useful. What are your top tips for getting a job?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;Image: &lt;a href=&quot;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_interview#/media/File:Job_interview.jpg&quot;&gt;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Job_interview#/media/File:Job_interview.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2020/10/five-top-tips-that-will-help-you-smash.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Sarah Stewart)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-prGQldF15j8/X44B0TJZ52I/AAAAAAAA8EE/GdubGdt1mZ4cFff_x6yb8bb6MajhA7aNwCNcBGAsYHQ/s72-c/Job_interview.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-652950132925204088.post-7489456456375199602</guid><pubDate>Fri, 03 Apr 2020 10:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2020-04-03T21:36:46.379+11:00</atom:updated><title>Covid, sourdough bread and Granfer</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
2. <h2 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. One of the impacts of isolation from covid, has been the over-whelming interest around the world in learning to make bread. I'm one of the many who has given it a go.</h2>
4. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. I decided to have a go at making sourdough bread because that is what I enjoy when I go to our local cafe for Sunday morning breakfast. What I didn't realise was there is a very definite art in making sourdough bread, and people become obsessed for years.</div>
6. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
7. </div>
8. <h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. <b>Ready, steady...get your starter</b>  <span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></h3>
10. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
11. <span style="font-weight: normal;">The first difficulty was trying to decide what recipe to use, and to find out what a <i>starter</i>
12. is. Apparently, you make your own starter and it can live in your
13. fridge, like some slimy monster ghost from Ghostbusters, for years!  One
14. of my friends told me they have moods....and different smells depending
15. what mood they are in...and you have to feed it! Freaked me out, I have
16. to say. </span></div>
17. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
18. <br /></div>
19. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
20. <span style="font-weight: normal;">In the end, I must admit I cheated and used this recipe which has yeast in its starter: <a href="https://tasty.co/recipe/how-to-make-homemade-sourdough-bread?fbclid=IwAR0nHCSWw-B29SPkhWEvMe1UFC80D0SlktXPQkS8qxcJCfAzjTCktJ8ypnc" target="_blank">How To Make Homemade Sourdough Bread</a>. But another friend of mine loves this recipe, which uses a starter from just flour and water: <a href="https://www.theclevercarrot.com/2014/01/sourdough-bread-a-beginners-guide/" target="_blank">Sourdough Bread: A Beginner’s Guide</a>.
21. The advantage of sour dough is it doesn't use yeast, which currently is really
22. difficult to find, and apparently is better for your gastric system. </span> </div>
23. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
24. <br /></div>
25. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
26. Everything went well with the starter and five days later it was ready to go. I was afraid that I would not be able to find somewhere warm enough in our apartment to encourage the dough to rise, but it seemed to like our small laundry room which can get quite warm when we're using the washing machine. </div>
27. <h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
28. Rise and shine</h3>
29. Another tip I was given by friends is that you cannot rush the rising stage. I got my timing all wrong because I didn't read the recipe right. Next time I'll be a little more careful with my planning because making the bread (including hours for rising) takes all day. <br />
30.    <br />
31. My other concern was that I wouldn't get the kneading right, or that I'd get bored. But I actually found it really relaxing and I was quite happy to knead away while I was listening to my audio book. <br />

39.    Eventually I got to the stage I was ready to cook, but didn't have   a dutch oven. Not sure why I needed one, or even what a dutch oven is. But in the end, I experimented. One loaf I cooked in a Pyrex bowl with lid which seemed to work well. The other loaf I cooked on a baking tray which definitely didn't work, as you can see....got horribly burnt!  I also put a bowl with water in the oven. Again, I have no idea why, but it was on the advice of a friend.<br />

49. It's in the blood!</h3>
50. <div style="text-align: left;">
51. I've always been afraid of making bread. My Granfer was a baker, and even worked as a baker in the army in WW2. But I never did any baking with him when I was a child so never learned any skills from him. My mother is a wonderful cake maker but she never got on well with bread-making. So whilst I learned to make cakes from her, I also think I learned from her that bread-making is hard and consequently have never really tried it. Even when I had a bread-maker, I never got on very well with it.</div>
52. <div style="text-align: left;">
53. <br /></div>
54. <div style="text-align: left;">
55. Ironically, it takes a world-wide epidemic to bring me to bread-making and a connection to my Granfer. I wish he were here so I could pick his brains for tips, but I am sure he'd be pleased that someone is carrying on the family tradition. </div>

73. <div style="text-align: left;">
74. It absolutely goes without saying that there are a hell of a lot of people in this world who are way, way worse off than I have ever been and to them, I am a millionaire. It is in that context that I acknowledge I am writing this post for people who live in resouce-rich countries and even then, </div>
75. <div style="text-align: left;">
76. for those of us who are privileged to be employed, own property, have good health etc.  </div>
77. <div style="text-align: left;">
78. <br /></div>
79. <div style="text-align: left;">
80. All that being said, none of what I am about to say hasn't already been said time and time again, not least by people like <a href="https://barefootinvestor.com/" target="_blank">Scott Pape, the Barefoot Investor</a>. I read his book last year and it has really impacted on me, and led to my hubby and me making changes to our finance management. I do not necessarily agree with everything he says or even understand it, but the main principles he espouses hold true. Obviously, readers outside of Australia have different issues and may not have systems such as our mandatory superannuation scheme. Nevertheless, I hope there is still content here that you can relate to.</div>

84. <b>1. Move your operational and savings money to low/zero cost bank accounts </b></div>
85. <div style="text-align: left;">
86. I was doing all my banking with one of the big four which was costing me $400 a year. This included fees for an off-set account which was marketed to me as a way of managing my mortgage. But to be honest, because my money was going in and out, my off-set was making no impact on my mortgage payments. I am better off having a no-frills, no cost operational account, and paying all my mortgage payments straight into my mortgage.  </div>
87. <br />
88. <div style="text-align: left;">
89. If you are not sure if it is worth having an off-set account, have a look at the calculators that are around the place to do some financial working out, like this one from ING: <a href="https://www.ing.com.au/home-loans/calculators/offset.html">https://www.ing.com.au/home-loans/calculators/offset.html</a></div>
90. <div style="text-align: left;">
91. <br /></div>
92. <div style="text-align: left;">
93. I have moved my banking to <a href="https://www.hsbc.com.au/accounts/products/day-to-day/" target="_blank">HSBC who offer no-cost accounts</a>. Their banking app is rubbish and it took ages to set up online banking, but hubby enjoys having physical banking offices where he can go and speak to someone face-to-face.  <a href="https://campaigns.ing.com.au/everyday-banking?&cid=goo:Generic-Bank-TopLevel:oe&pkwd=-+banking-+account&gclid=CjwKCAjw8qjnBRA-EiwAaNvhwCZyXS4I4qL2tN0T5qwJp4OtBmJ1aNLxpgTzRvi2qdhflOYbEoEoZhoCQXkQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds" target="_blank">The ING Orange account also is no-cos</a>t, and I believe is an account that <a href="https://barefootinvestor.com/barefoots-best-banking-deals/" target="_blank">Scott Pape recommends</a>.  </div>
94. <div style="text-align: left;">
95. <br /></div>
96. <div style="text-align: left;">
97. It goes without saying that you must always check terms and conditions, and it is worth doing a comparison of accounts and check for hidden costs.  </div>
98. <div style="text-align: left;">
99. <b><br /></b></div>
100. <div style="text-align: left;">
101. <b>2. Review your need for a credit card</b></div>
102. <div style="text-align: left;">
103. The Barefoot Investor advises that you <a href="https://barefootinvestor.com/set-yourself-free-from-credit-cards/" target="_blank">get rid of your credit card</a> all together because, put simply, it traps you into debt. <a href="https://barefootinvestor.com/qna/no-credit-card-for-you/" target="_blank">The rewards you receive are not worth the interest you pay</a> if you do not wipe your balance every month. </div>
104. <div style="text-align: left;">
105. <br /></div>
106. <div style="text-align: left;">
107. I know there are some people out there who are real wizards at <a href="http://zerototravel.com/trade-for-travel/beginners-guide-travel-hacking/" target="_blank">managing their credit cards to get free trave</a>l, but you've really got to know your stuff to do this, and be really disciplined. And you have to be mindful that in Australia since the banking commission, mortgage lenders are really <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/business/banking-and-finance/consumer-crunch-banks-set-to-crack-down-on-credit-cards-car-loans-20190215-p50y67.html" target="_blank">cracking down on any sort of credit when deciding to give you a mortgage</a>. I had to go through all sorts of hoops recently to show that I had closed down a credit card when re-financing our mortgage, and this was even though we had more than enough capacity to service a credit card on top of our mortgage.   </div>
108. <div style="text-align: left;">
109. <br /></div>
110. <div style="text-align: left;">
111. <b> </b></div>
112. <div style="text-align: left;">
113. We have now <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertberger/2017/05/31/7-tips-for-living-without-a-credit-card/#e2498065a32d" target="_blank">got rid of our credit card</a> which was more accidental than a conscious decision - we closed it because our bank were charging excessive fees, but that's another story. I do not entirely agree with Scott Pape about not having a credit card, because I think having one is useful for coping with emergencies. We have elderly parents in the UK and we never know when we will have to literally drop everything and fly back, which has already happened to us this year. Scott's strategy for coping with emergencies is to have emergency savings.  But I don't want to have heaps of money in a saving's account not earning much interest, when it could be on our mortgage. <a href="https://www.joyfulfrugalista.com/2019/01/11/credit-cards/" target="_blank">A credit card is also useful when traveling</a> because some hotels will not accept a debit card for bonds/deposits - I got into real strife over this issue the last time I was in Bangkok. </div>
114. <div style="text-align: left;">
115. <br /></div>
116. <div style="text-align: left;">
117. For the time being, we're going to try to manage without a credit card and see how we go. If we need one, we'll apply for a no-frills, low interest card with as low a limit as possible. </div>
118. <div style="text-align: left;">
119. <br /></div>
120. <div style="text-align: left;">
121. <b>3. Make sure you are getting the best interest rate possible for your mortgage</b></div>
122. <div style="text-align: left;">
123. Needless to say, The Barefoot Investor has some very strong views on <a href="https://barefootinvestor.com/barefoot-steps/step-7-banker-off-back/" target="_blank">how to manage your mortgage</a>. The key things I have taken from what he says and recently enacted are:</div>
124. <ul style="text-align: left;">
125. <li>have a no-frills mortgage which reduces cost</li>
126. <li>pay additional payments to pay the mortgage back sooner and thus reduce interest  </li>
127. <li>move from fixed to flexible rate mortgage which not only is cheaper than fixed rates, but also allows me to make extra payments.</li>
128. </ul>
129. </div>
130. By moving from our bank to an online mortgage supplier, <a href="https://www.mortgagehouse.com.au/" target="_blank">Mortgage House</a> and to a variable rate, we have saved ourselves nearly 0.5% in interest. I have to admit that moving across was a bit of a rigmarole, and moving away from one of the Big 4 to an online supplier who I had never heard of before is a bit of a step of faith. However, I am confident in the research we did before we moved, and my faith in the big banks' has hardly been reinforced during the <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/programs/hack/findings-from-royal-commission-into-banking-revealed/10777172" target="_blank">Royal Commission</a>.<br />
131. <br />
132. <b>4. Manage your superannuation </b><br />
133. I have to say that my understanding of the superannuation system in Australia has been woeful since moving here in 2012. And it's only in the last year that I have really understood how it works. This is a real worry because I am 57 now with potentially only 10-13 years left to work full time (god willing), and it is very clear that I have to be a self-funded retiree. <br />
134. <br />
135. The Barefoot Investor spends a lot of time talking about<a href="https://barefootinvestor.com/category/superannuation/" target="_blank"> maximizing superannuation</a>.  This is probably the area of financial management that I feel least confident with. The actions he recommends that I have taken are:<br />
136. <ul style="text-align: left;">
137. <li><a href="https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/tools-and-resources/calculators-and-apps/retirement-planner" target="_blank">pay the maximum amount I can afford</a> under the pre-tax salary sacrifice scheme  </li>
138. <li><a href="https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/superannuation-and-retirement/keeping-track-and-lost-super/consolidating-super-funds" target="_blank">amalgamated my various super schemes</a> into one </li>
139. <li>reviewed the <a href="https://barefootinvestor.com/a-super-fund-option-with-zero-fees/" target="_blank">fees I pay to my superannuation company</a></li>
140. <li>increased my life insurance to an appropriate level through my superannuation.  </li>
141. </ul>
142. I know there are high preforming superannuation schemes with very low fees that I should consider moving to, but I am just not confident to make that move. I know I should also move to a lower level of risk investment because of my age (being near to retirement) but again, I haven't got around to doing that either.<br />
143. <br />
144. And despite being happy about the life insurance I have at the moment, I am conscious that it ends when I am 75 years old. I do not want to take out additional life insurance with an insurance company because it will be expensive - my hubby is paying way more than I am with an insurance company because he wasn't able to increase his insurance through his super scheme. But his life insurance continues until he dies, whatever age that is. So I am dithering about the issue of life insurance. <br />

162. <h2 style="text-align: left;">
163. Death is not something we like to think about but the sooner you start to get yourself organised for death, the better it is for you and your family. </h2>
164. <div style="text-align: left;">
165. I have recently found this out the hard way. A family member passed away a few months ago. This person was well into their 80s, and what we'd call 'old school' which included a considerable reluctance to talk to family about death, funeral arrangements and financial matters. I understand this may be a generational issue, but boy, did it make things difficult when the person passed. We didn't even know what sort of funeral the person wanted which was very distressing to us, as we had no way of knowing if we were doing the right thing. In the end, our decisions were driven by finance, which was a horrible position to be in, and not one I want to inflict on my family. </div>
166. <div style="text-align: left;">
167. <br /></div>
168. <div style="text-align: left;">
169. Being the wrong side of 55, this experience has got me thinking about how well prepared I am for old age, sickness and death, especially in relation to the responsibilities it brings to my own family. I have spoken to my kids about <a href="https://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com/2011/04/planning-my-funeral.html" target="_blank">what sort of funeral service I want</a>. And I keep talking about updating my Will, but that's about all I have done. </div>
170. <div style="text-align: left;">
171. <br /></div>
172. <div style="text-align: left;">
173. So, based on my experiences of the last few months, here are a couple of tips that I suggest you start to think about and do to prepare for your own death. This will make life so much easier for your family at a time that they will be particularly stressed and upset. </div>
174. <div style="text-align: left;">
175. <br /></div>
176. <div style="text-align: left;">
177. <b>1. Have an up to date Will</b></div>
178. <div style="text-align: left;">
179. This is not rocket science and there really is no excuse not to have one in place, even if you are in your 20s/30s. If you cannot afford to get a solicitor to put one together, you will find your state <a href="https://www.australia.gov.au/content/powers-of-attorney" target="_blank">Office of the Public Advocate</a> will be able to help, or you can <a href="https://www.choice.com.au/money/financial-planning-and-investing/financial-planning/articles/will-kit-reviews" target="_blank">write a home made Will</a>. </div>
180. <div style="text-align: left;">
181. <br /></div>
182. <div style="text-align: left;">
183. Your Will will include financial matters, and gives you the opportunity to make specific requests, for example, what you want done to your body (gifted to the local medical school?) and funeral arrangements. Leaving clear instructions is a favour to your family because, let's face it, you won't be any the wiser on the day! </div>
184. <div style="text-align: left;">
185. <br /></div>
186. <div style="text-align: left;">
187. <b> </b></div>
188. <div style="text-align: left;">
189. <b>2. Have your affairs organised and up to date</b></div>
190. <div style="text-align: left;">
191. One of the things that I found very time consuming following death of our family member was trying to work out their financial affairs. For example, what bank accounts were current....what insurance policies were in place...where birth and marriage certificates were kept...and so on. </div>
192. <div style="text-align: left;">
193. <br /></div>
194. <div style="text-align: left;">
195. I think the big favour you can do for your loved ones is to keep all your documentation up together and up to date so that family know where to find stuff, and your executor/s can carry out their duties with the least amount of hassle as possible after your death.</div>
196. <div style="text-align: left;">
197. <br /></div>
198. <div style="text-align: left;">
199. I have put all my documentation in a file and printed out a master document with all the details I can think of, from the password to my lap top (which I'll have to remember to keep updated) to my log-ins to my bank account. So if the worse comes to the worse and I get knocked off my bicycle this afternoon, my kids will know exactly what accounts/insurance/mortgage/superannuation/property contracts etc I have, and how to access them. I have even listed all my bills and utilities.  </div>
200. <div style="text-align: left;">
201. <br /></div>
202. <div style="text-align: left;">
203. The other thing I have on my list of to-dos is set up my <a href="https://www.moneysmart.gov.au/life-events-and-you/over-55s/wills-and-power-of-attorney" target="_blank">enduring power of attorney</a>.     </div>
204. <div style="text-align: left;">
205. <br /></div>
206. <div style="text-align: left;">
207. <b>3. Talk to your family about your death</b></div>
208. <div style="text-align: left;">
209. </div>
210. <div style="text-align: left;">
211. The problem with many of the older generation is that talking about death is not the done thing. I have tried to talk to my parents about their deaths and funeral arrangement etc, which sounds very cold I know. But to this day, I don't know what they want, or how I'll need to manage their financial affairs. This is particularly tricky if one parent dies, and the other parent is not capable of organising their affairs. </div>
212. <div style="text-align: left;">
213. <br /></div>
214. <div style="text-align: left;">
215. My kids know how I want to die and what sort of funeral I want because we talk about death fairly regularly, especially as I have got older, and I will document request in my Will which I am about to update. The other thing I have just done is gone through my master document with all my personal details on with the kids. They are not keen on the conversation at the moment but one day, they'll be grateful that I am as organised as I am.</div>
216. <div style="text-align: left;">
217. <br />
218. <b>Resources </b></div>
219. <div style="text-align: left;">
220. There are heaps of resources online and in the community that will help you ask the right questions about death and how to prepare including:</div>
221. <ul style="text-align: left;">

238. <div style="text-align: left;">
239. I have to be honest and admit that I am as bad. Only the other day there was a local consultation on a new bus route which I felt reasonably passionate about because it would impact on my ability to get to work, but I did nothing to get my views heard.    </div>
240. <br />
241. I think there are a number of reasons for this. People are too emotionally drained, and do not have the energy to get involved, or cannot make the time. They may not hear about the consultation, or they feel that there is no point in making a submission because decisions have already been made. Another big barrier is not knowing to what say in a submission.<br />
242. <br />
243. If you are someone who would like to become more involved in making submissions but don't know where to start, here are six tips to help you have your say, be it a national government consultation or your local club wanting to know your opinion about something.<br />
244. <br />
245. <b>1. Keep abreast of the news</b><br />
246. If there is a particular topic, area or organisation you are interested in, sign up to follow them, join their Facebook page, subscribe their email lists, check their website etc, so you know when they are consulting on a topic. For example, you can find out about government consultations on their <a href="https://consultation.business.gov.au/Consultation/Common/PublicConsultations/ViewPublicConsultations.aspx" target="_blank">consultation web page</a>, and sign up for emails to "<a href="https://consultation.business.gov.au/Consultation/Common/Register/Default.aspx?UserType=BusinessUser" target="_blank">receive updates on proposed policy or regulation changes and details of how you can have your say</a>." The <a href="https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Current_Inquiries" target="_blank">Senate also has a webpage</a> that lists all its inquiries.<br />
247. <br />
248. Organisations and other bodies have similar information, for instance, the Nursing and Midwifery Board has a web page where you can see <a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/News/Current-Consultations.aspx" target="_blank">current consultations, and previous ones</a>.  The Australian College of Midwives  has a <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/current-consultations" target="_blank">consultation page here</a>.   <br />
249. <br />
250. <b>2. Read the instructions for the consultation</b><br />
251. When you decide to make a submission, check the instructions for how to do it. Consultation take various guises including online survey, written template, email comments, or face-to-face meetings. For the most part, there is no strict hard and fast rule on how you respond eg formality of the language you use. However, some government consultations will refuse to accept a submission if it does not follow the format that is prescribed.<br />
252. <br />
253. If all else fails, don't be afraid to contact the identified contact person if you need advice on how to respond to the consultation. There's some great advice about <a href="https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Making_a_submission" target="_blank">how to make a submission </a>on the Parliament of Australia website that applies across the board.   <br />
254. <br />
255. <b>3. You can make a difference</b><br />
256. It can be very daunting when faced with a national consultation where you know there will be some very vocal and powerful stakeholders involved. And it can be easy to be dissuaded from putting in a submission because you think no-one will pay attention. This is not true. If you submit a cogent piece that is easy to follow, it will be read and taken into consideration. <br />
257. <br />
258. A great example of how stakeholders were able to overturn a consultation was the 2017 national maternity services framework. Stakeholders, including consumers, were so disgusted with how the consultation was being run that they protested, and the government was forced to start again with a <a href="http://www.health.gov.au/internet/ministers/publishing.nsf/Content/health-mediarel-yr2018-hunt022.htm" target="_blank">new strategy and consultation</a>.  <br />
259. <br />
260. <b>4. Tell your story</b><br />
261. Another thing that put<b>s</b> people off from making a submission is the fear that they won't do a good enough job, or that they do not have the ability to make an academic response. My answer to that is not to worry about writing academically, or regaling reams and reams of research but rather, to tell your story. Obviously, you may have a framework or template within to work, however do not be afraid to weave in your story: why you have an interest; what your experience has been; what research you would like to share, and what your recommendations are.  <b> </b><br />
262. <br />
263. <b>5. Learn from others</b><br />
264. Having just said that you should write your own story, it also doesn't do any harm to see what others have written, either in past consultations or current ones. Many organizations and government departments <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/submissions" target="_blank">publish submissions once consultations have ended</a> which provides an opportunity to see how others write submissions.<br />
265. <br />
266. Some organisations even publish submissions before the consultation period has ended. Recently, I was tasked with writing a response to the Senate about stillbirth. I was a little hesitant about how to start, so I found it really helpful to be able to see <a href="https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Stillbirth_Research_and_Education/Stillbirth/Submissions" target="_blank">other people's approaches on the Senate inquiry websit</a>e.<br />
267. <br />
268. <b>6. Join a collaborative submission</b><br />
269. For whatever reason, you may not be able to make an individual response to a consultation. If this is the case, have a look at what others are doing in the area and see if you can contribute to a submission that they are developing.<br />
270. <br />
271. Often organisations develop key points for their members to use as a guideline and get you started. If you are affiliated with an organisation, such as a representative body, and you want to know what the party line is, do not be afraid to <a href="https://mailchi.mp/0ec517d90342/nsams-stillbirth-inquiry-and-the-metooinbirth-campaign" target="_blank">contact the policy unit for their advice on what to say</a>. For instance, you may belong to a union and wish to make a submission about workloads. It would make sense to be giving the same message as the union, who is also advocating for improved work conditions. <b><br /></b><br />
272.     <br />
273. Having worked in a policy unit for a peak body for nearly six years, my personal plea is that if you are a member of an organisation, and there is a call-out for feedback on a submission they are writing, please take five minutes to drop them an email or call, with your ideas and information.  It makes life so much easier for policy staff, and facilitates a higher quality submission from the organisation.<br />
274. <br />
275. Have you ever made any kind of submission? What was it for, and how did you find the experience? What are your top tips for making a submission?<br />

282. <br />
283. <h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
284. <a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bc6RB94gKGM/W0xFOA-KN_I/AAAAAAAApKo/F8HwswQ_X6kopZwBHcMdIMNG8AwB8KbZQCLcBGAs/s1600/30623690_10156309998261306_4149748561060289290_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Bc6RB94gKGM/W0xFOA-KN_I/AAAAAAAApKo/F8HwswQ_X6kopZwBHcMdIMNG8AwB8KbZQCLcBGAs/s320/30623690_10156309998261306_4149748561060289290_n.jpg" width="240" /></a>I have just finished working for nearly six years as the policy adviser and manager at the <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/submissions" target="_blank">Australian College of Midwives</a>. As you can imagine, I have learned heaps about lobbying, advocacy, writing submissions, researching, and reacting to issues that arise very quickly. </h3>
285. <div style="text-align: left;">
286.  Reflecting on the last few years, here are 5 tips for anyone wanting to move into the policy sector, from paid employee in a government department to volunteer role in a not-for-profit.</div>
287. <div style="text-align: left;">
288. <br /></div>
289. <div style="text-align: left;">
290. <b>1. Be consistent with your message</b></div>
291. <div style="text-align: left;">
292. It is very important to know what your organisation's position is and be consistent about it through the weeks, months and years. This applies not only to your own work, but also to the messages that are coming from the rest of the organisation, be it the communications' department, or key staff such as CEO or president. </div>
293. <div style="text-align: left;">
294. <b> </b></div>
295. <div style="text-align: left;">
296. If your organisation and you are giving out mixed messages, not only will you confuse your audience, but your credibility will be damaged and your ability to influence will be reduced.</div>
297. <div style="text-align: left;">
298. <br /></div>
299. <div style="text-align: left;">
300. <b>2. Use any opportunity to send the same message</b></div>
301. <div style="text-align: left;">
302. If you are wanting to make a point or send a particular message, use every opportunity to emphasise it. For example, in the last three submissions I wrote before leaving the ACM,  I talked about continuity of midwifery care which is one of the ACM's key messages, yet the consultations/topics were very different - maternity services in general, breastfeeding, and stillbirth. </div>
303. <div style="text-align: left;">
304. <br /></div>
305. <div style="text-align: left;">
306. It's like being a leaky tap - drip , drip , drip until someone takes notice!<b><br /></b></div>
307. <div style="text-align: left;">
308. <br /></div>
309. <div style="text-align: left;">
310. <b>3. Keep a track of the latest research that will support your message</b></div>
311. <div style="text-align: left;">
312. I found it so much easier to write a credible submission, or give a strong verbal message if I had current research to back up what I was trying to say. It's worth keeping a database or record of research that you know is credible and influential, and know it inside out so you can quote it whenever you are asked. <b><br /></b></div>
313. <div style="text-align: left;">
314. <br /></div>
315. <div style="text-align: left;">
316. <b>4. Build up a network of experts</b></div>
317. <div style="text-align: left;">
318. Leading on from the last point, it is also worth building a network of experts who you can approach to help you understand a topic, critique research, and update you on the latest issues. It is likely that you will not be an expert in everything, so it is invaluable to know who you can turn to quickly for advice and information.  </div>
319. <div style="text-align: left;">
320. <br /></div>
321. <div style="text-align: left;">
322. <b>5. Collaborate with like-minded people and organisations </b> </div>
323. <div style="text-align: left;">
324. One of the most beneficial things I did in my role was connect with people doing similar work to me in other organisations. We kept each other updated with the latest news, <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwih24u7i6PcAhUpSJoKHUBHC8oQFggqMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catsinam.org.au%2Fstatic%2Fuploads%2Ffiles%2Fbirthing-on-country-position-statement-endorsed-march-2016-wfaxpyhvmxrw.pdf&usg=AOvVaw3UfgVJ0SygjABGZz9e45ql" target="_blank">collaborated to support each other on joint projects</a>, and came together to <a href="https://www.refugeecouncil.org.au/media/open-statement-calling-immediate-action-offshore-detention/" target="_blank">send united messages</a>. C<a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/News/2018-03-23-joint-statement.aspx" target="_blank">ollaborative action</a> is often far more effective than working on one's own, especially when you are <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjpmpLDlaPcAhVFwbwKHUHdCisQFghEMAM&url=https%3A%2F%2F2-midwives.cdn.aspedia.net%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fuploaded-content%2Ffield_f_content_file%2F20160929_acm_position_statement_on_care_of_women_seeking_asylum_0.pdf&usg=AOvVaw0Fe4Auk6HDAwCLo53Ivze5" target="_blank">trying to influence government policy and politicians</a>.  </div>
325. <div style="text-align: left;">
326. <br /></div>
327. <div style="text-align: left;">
328. I hope you find this helpful information. </div>

What should I do about it?</title><description>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;
335. <br />
336. <h2 style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: left;">
337.  </h2>
338. <h2 style="text-align: left;">
339. I'm white and privileged! I am white, and I am privileged because I am white.</h2>
340. <a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eYDRrpO8ei0/Ws50ZHytjiI/AAAAAAAAnbA/03tzczPehc0imIotrfDeQoqRndPue0vzwCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-04-12_0646.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="392" data-original-width="604" height="207" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-eYDRrpO8ei0/Ws50ZHytjiI/AAAAAAAAnbA/03tzczPehc0imIotrfDeQoqRndPue0vzwCLcBGAs/s320/2018-04-12_0646.png" width="320" /></a> There you are. I said it.  I feel like I should be at an AA meeting...”my name is Sarah and I am white and privileged”. Clearly it's not a secret that I am white -you've only got to look at me to see how 'white' I am. And when I open my mouth, that Southern Counties English accent (used to live in Salisbury, England) still summons up images of thatched cottages and Pimms on the lawn...or so I've been told. I was 16 years old before I spoke to a 'black' person, and that was only because I had gone to the East End of London for a week to do some volunteer church outreach work. Before that time, the nearest I had got to a person of colour was when reading Enid Blyton's golliwog stories.   <br />
341. <br />
342. I am not sorry about who I am, nor that I am white. I am who I am, and I am proud of the family I have descended from. So why is it, as I write this, I feel an unease in my gut; I'm almost embarrassed to admit to being white. I know how privileged I am when I watch the persecution of the Rohingya people, or bombing of Syria on TV.  But what does white privilege mean in the Australian context, and especially in relation to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?<br />
343. <br />
344. I have only recently become aware of the idea of<a href="https://www.sbs.com.au/nitv/article/2016/10/13/10-things-you-should-know-about-white-privilege" target="_blank"> white privilege, which is a theory that explains the inherent privilege and advantages that white people have over non-white people because of skin colour</a>. Having lived in New Zealand for nearly 20 years, I have been fully conversant with cultural safety which somehow was always tied up with the Treaty of Waitangi, and did not have a deep, personal  impact on me.  But it was recently since I moved to Australia that I have been challenged about white privilege at a workshop facilitated by the <a href="https://www.catsinam.org.au/policy/cultural-safety" target="_blank">Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives</a>, and how it feeds into my attitudes and beliefs about the world.<br />
345. <br />
346. What white privilege means in reality, has been especially driven home to me on two recent occasions.<br />
347. <b>Close the gap! </b><br />
348. The first occasion was when I met a wonderful Aboriginal woman who I immediately felt a real connection to. Although she was ten years younger than me, we found we had many similarities and shared experiences, and we become friends very quickly. It is not often I make those sorts of deep relationships because usually I am a bit of an introvert. What dawned on me and saddened me greatly, was that despite the age difference between us, she was likely to die the same time as me because <a href="https://www.oxfam.org.au/what-we-do/indigenous-australia/close-the-gap/" target="_blank">Aboriginal women have a life expectancy of nearly 10 years less than non-Aboriginal women</a>.  <br />
349. <br />
350. <b>Institutional racism</b>  <br />
351. The second occasion was when I was supporting an Aboriginal family receiving healthcare in a hospital. <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/david_r_williams_how_racism_makes_us_sick" target="_blank">The family described the care they received </a>and the attitudes displayed by staff, which seemed to me to be sub-standard to say the least. But when I arrived, it appeared to both myself and the family that attitudes changed, communication improved, and the <a href="https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0ahUKEwjQsf7sibPaAhWJzbwKHQ9yD8EQFghZMAM&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.catsinam.org.au%2Fstatic%2Fuploads%2Ffiles%2Fcharacteristics-of-cultural-competent-maternity-care-wfjmbiuiames.pdf&usg=AOvVaw2qlo5p47bPMz-bJlnD_vCC" target="_blank">care provided was much more in line with what I would expect</a>.  It is my perception that me being there made a difference to the attitudes of staff and care provided, and I sincerely believe it was because I was a white woman.    <br />
352. <br />
353. <b>Nursing and midwifery Codes of Practice</b><br />
354. So, maybe acknowledging our whiteness SHOULD be embedded into the Codes of Practice - we should acknowledge that  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander are likely to die younger than us; more likely to be incarcerated, die of suicide, diabetes and heart disease than non- Aboriginal people. And maybe that is why there is <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2018/03/fake-news-and-lies-nurses-midwives-and.html" target="_blank">such push back over the new nursing and midwifery Codes of Practice</a> - because we know in our hearts that we're privileged, but we're not doing anything about it!<br />
355. <br />
356. It is time us whities stop being snowflakes and acknowledge the universal truth that being white does give us an inherent advantage over non-white people.<br />
357. <br />
358. There's nothing wrong with being white. What is very wrong is being white, knowing how that plays out especially in healthcare, and doing nothing to redress the inequity that our privilege fosters and promotes. <br />
359. <br />

362. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
363. <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wUQwCCOzcW4/WrvZ8xWnR2I/AAAAAAAAnFc/kKCDCzKPJPUY3TibtKFqP0DBk1gUh085gCLcBGAs/s1600/2018-03-29_0507.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="437" data-original-width="652" height="214" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wUQwCCOzcW4/WrvZ8xWnR2I/AAAAAAAAnFc/kKCDCzKPJPUY3TibtKFqP0DBk1gUh085gCLcBGAs/s320/2018-03-29_0507.png" width="320" /></a></div>
364. <h3 style="text-align: left;">
365. </h3>
366. <h3 style="text-align: left;">
367. In the last few days the main stream media has picked up on a story that should have died a death months ago. <a href="http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=19567" target="_blank">The word going around, propagated by Grahame Haycroft</a> of the Nurses Professional Union of Queensland,  is that the <a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Statements/Professional-standards.aspx" target="_blank">new nurses and midwives' Codes of Practice</a> require nurse and midwives to tell the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that we work with, that we are sorry that we are privileged because we are white. </h3>
368. <h3 style="text-align: left;">
369. There's so much wrong with this, I do not know where to start. Needless
370. to say, this story is one of life's fabulous examples of fake news.</h3>
371. <h3 style="text-align: left;">
372. <br /></h3>
373. The significance of this is that the Codes of Practice are issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia, which makes the content of the Codes a regulatory requirement whereby nurses and midwives can be notified, disciplined and even de-registered if we breach them. According to Haycroft, we could lose our registration if we do not admit our 'white privilege'  to every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander person we care for. <br /><br /><b>Lies!</b> <br />
374. Firstly, before you jump up and down, and join in with Haycroft denouncing a politically correct world gone mad, take the time to actually read the Codes because clearly, most of the journalists reporting this story have not! No where in the Code does it say that we have to declare our white privilege – this is a lie! The Codes are easily available on the NMBA website where you can check this out yourself: <a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Statements/Professional-standards.aspx">http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines-Statements/Professional-standards.aspx</a><br />
375. <br />
376. <b>What is cultural safety?</b><br />In the definition of cultural safety in the Codes,  nurses and midwives are encouraged to “ undertake an ongoing process of self-reflection and cultural self-awareness”. The Code goes on to say “cultural safety provides a de-colonising model of practice based on dialogue, communication, power sharing and negotiation, and the acknowledgment of white privilege.”  The NMBA have already discussed <a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/News/2018-02-01-nmba-catsinam.aspx" target="_blank">why this definition of cultural safety</a>,  and if you're not sure what cultural safety is, have a read of <a href="https://indigenousx.com.au/janine-mohamed-cultural-safety-matters/#.WrbUIZe-nIV" target="_blank">Janine Mohamed's explanation of why it is so important in healthcare</a>.  Ruth DeSouza has also written an excellent piece called <a href="http://www.ruthdesouza.com/2018/03/26/five-myths-about-cultural-safety/" target="_blank">The Five Myths of Cultural Safety</a>. <br /><br /><b>The NMBA process of consultation and collaboration </b><br />
377. Secondly, you need to be aware of how the Codes and other regulatory requirements are produced. The NMBA do not just wake up one morning and say “We're going to make you naughty nurses and midwives do this, this, and that....because we feel like it!”  The Codes and similar regulatory documents go through an extensive process of research, collaboration, and industry and public consultation, for instance, the NMBA carried out a serious of  road shows around the country which gave nurses and midwives an opportunity to give their feedback in a face-to-face environment.<br />

379. Rather than being divisive as <a href="https://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/health/cory-bernardi-slams-medical-authorities-over-need-to-acknowledge-white-privilege/news-story/8762f45ba816621e23c67657ae86ddf6" target="_blank">Cory Bernardi claims</a>, nursing and midwifery peak bodies and organisations have been united in accepting the Codes as they are, because we were involved in the drafting and development of the Codes right from the start. As a member of the working group who consulted on the midwifery Code, I am extremely proud that it acknowledges racism as an unacceptable behavior. <a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/News/Past-Consultations.aspx" target="_blank">You can see all the consultations the NMBA held on the Code</a>s, as well as the feedback submitted to the consultations on the NMBA website, and guess what...there's no submission from Haycroft, so I guess he was not that concerned about the content of the Codes that he felt driven to make a submission.  You can also see various joint statements from the likes of the <a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/News/2018-03-23-joint-statement.aspx" target="_blank">Australian College of Midwives</a> and the <a href="http://ruralhealth.org.au/media-release/cultural-safety-crucial-aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-healthcare" target="_blank">National Rural Health Alliance</a> that confirm that the professions value and support the new Codes.     <br /><br /><b>Politics</b> <br />
380. Thirdly, you have to be aware of the politics around the dialogue generated by Haycroft. You do have to <a href="https://indigenousx.com.au/the-truth-behind-the-nursing-code-of-conduct-lie/#.WrvYf5e-nIU" target="_blank">ask who he is, what his political agenda is</a>, and what he aims to achieve by driving story.  <a href="https://www.qnmu.org.au/QNMU/PUBLIC/MEDIA_AND_PUBLICATIONS/Media_release_uploads/2018/Secretar_addresses_criticism_of_NMBA_Codes_Conduct_160218.aspx" target="_blank">He is in competition with the Queensland Nurses Union</a>, so he will see the publicity he is currently receiving as a nice piece of free marketing. Needless to say, <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s4821769.htm" target="_blank">he has been thoroughly discredited</a>, and this story should be put to bed now! </div>

385. I have the privilege of working for the <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/" target="_blank">Australian College of Midwives</a>, and a lot of the work we do would be impossible without the legions of volunteers we have who help us out, from being a board Director to providing us with feedback for our submissions.</div>
386. <div style="text-align: left;">
387. <br /></div>
388. <div style="text-align: left;">
389. This week is <a href="https://www.volunteeringaustralia.org/nvw/" target="_blank">National Volunteer Week</a>, and we've been running a campaign at the ACM to <a href="http://nonprofithub.org/volunteer-management/top-five-tips-for-national-volunteer-week/" target="_blank">thank everyone</a> who works with us. I had my arm twisted to make a short video, promoting volunteering for the ACM - if you want to have a look, but I wouldn't recommend it! - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Australian.College.of.Midwives/videos/1614717875206321/" target="_blank">you can see it here on the ACM Facebook page</a>. </div>
390. <div style="text-align: left;">
391. <br /></div>
392. <div style="text-align: left;">
393. This got me thinking about my volunteer work over the years and I have to be honest, I haven't done as much as I should have. Nevertheless, I am proud of what I achieved with the V<a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/search?q=vidm">irtual International Day of the Midwife</a>, which is still going strong and just had its ninth year. And the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Evidence-Based-Midwifery-Practice-MOOC-400241626812256/" target="_blank">Midwifery Evidenced-Based MOOC</a> was another achievement that I am extremely proud of. Both activities have been about my passion for supporting the professional development and education of midwives, at home and in developing countries.</div>
394. <div style="text-align: left;">
395. <br /></div>
396. <div style="text-align: left;">
397. More recently, I have been a <a href="https://ywca-canberra.org.au/" target="_blank">Board Director at the Canberra YWCA</a> and am now on the inaugural executive committee of the complex of apartments I have just moved into. As much as I have volunteered for these activities and others for altruistic reasons, ultimately I have gained more in terms of learning and professional growth than I feel I have given. </div>
398. <div style="text-align: left;">

400. <div style="text-align: left;">
401. But that's the <a href="http://www.sbg.org.au/the-joy-of-giving-back-volunteering/" target="_blank">joy of volunteering</a>....you get as much out of it as you put in. </div>

428. <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
429. I have been passionate about <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/search?q=open+access">open access and open access education</a> for many years, and have been
430. committed to sharing my content using <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/search?q=creative+commons">creative commons licenses</a>;
431. allowing people to download and re-use, for over 10 years. So I have
432. decided it is timely to review the responses to my online content,
433. using <a href="https://www.slideshare.net/sarahs" target="_blank">Slideshare</a> as my case study.</div>
434. <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
435. <br /></div>
436. <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
437. <b>What is Slideshare?</b></div>
438. <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
439. Slideshare is a platform whereby you
440. can upload and share PowerPoint presentations; it is similar to YouTube for videos.  I published my first presentation on the 4<sup>th</sup>
441. October, 2007 and as of the 16<sup>th</sup> April 2017, there are:</div>
442. <ul>
443. <li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
444. 76 uploads, with</div>
445. </li>
446. <li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
447. 289,699 total views, and
448. </div>
449. </li>
450. <li><div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
451. 3624 downloads.</div>
452. </li>
453. </ul>
454. <div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
455. <b>What presentations are most popular?
456. </b>
457. </div>
458. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
459. The 10 top
460. presentations with the most views can be found in Table 1. These
461. statistics are based on the Slideshare analytics on April
462. 16<sup>th</sup> 2017. </div>
463. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
464. <br /></div>
465. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
466. <i><b>Table 1. Top 10 views</b></i></div>

471. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
472. However, the number of views isn't necessary helpful because you would expect the longer a presentation has been published, the more views it would receive. So to get a better sense of what presentations are more popular, I divided  the views of each presentation by the number of days it had been published to find out how many views a day each presentation had received, in Table 2.</div>

520. <br /></div>
521. <br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Which presentation is most useful?</b><br />Views are one thing, but what I am really interested in is how useful my presentations are to the wider community. To measure that, I have looked at the total number of downloads of each presentation – my 10 top download loads can be seen in Table 3. <br /><br /><br /><div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
522. <b><i>Table 3. Top 10 downloads </i></b></div>
523. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
524. <br /></div>
525. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
526. <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wOLYRc8oKC8/WPRPzFAP0sI/AAAAAAAAeeA/3TY7t1QTRegWsccDz2DHk_UjAlbHsZ2PACLcB/s1600/Table_3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wOLYRc8oKC8/WPRPzFAP0sI/AAAAAAAAeeA/3TY7t1QTRegWsccDz2DHk_UjAlbHsZ2PACLcB/s400/Table_3.png" width="262" /></a></div>
527. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
528. As with the total number of views, the total number of downloads is skewed by the number of days each presentation has been published. Therefore, I looked at the number of views of per download, with the theory that the smaller the number of views per download, the more "useful" a presentation is. In my mind, a presentation that has 1000 views with 10 downloads is more “useful” than a presentation with 10,000 views and only one download.<b><i> </i></b></div>
529. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
530. <br /></div>

535. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
536. <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dtq4ceZt-sY/WPRM8U_WE8I/AAAAAAAAedo/cwkFQujmU70nueQzqxpjjU7Wa-U8lzKYgCLcB/s1600/Table_3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dtq4ceZt-sY/WPRM8U_WE8I/AAAAAAAAedo/cwkFQujmU70nueQzqxpjjU7Wa-U8lzKYgCLcB/s400/Table_3.png" width="361" /></a></div>
537. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
538. <i><b> </b></i>You will see with both views and downloads that the picture changes a little when you drill down to views per day and views per download. For example, '<i>My midwifery philosophy</i>' is in the Top 10 list for most views, but it is '<i>Introduction to midwifery documentation</i>' that is in the list for most views per day, which is arguably the more accurate measurement. That being said, the presentations that were in all four lists were, which makes them, in my mind, my most popular and useful:</div>
539. <ul style="text-align: left;">
540. <li><i>Intravenous cannulation</i></li>
541. <li><i>Amniotic embolism</i></li>
542. <li><i>What is evidence-based midwifery?</i></li>
543. </ul>
544. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
545. The topics of presentations that appeared in both of the two top views lists were the above, plus:</div>
546. <ul style="text-align: left;">
547. <li><i>How to prepare a portfolio</i></li>
548. <li><i>Journaling and reflective practice</i></li>
549. <li><i>Types of reflection</i></li>
550. <li><i>Social media, birth and midwives</i></li>
551. </ul>
552. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
553. The theme starting to emerge here is reflective practice and midwifery. This surprises me on the one hand because I would have thought that people, especially midwifery students, would be able to access information about reflective practice from textbooks and course materials. On the other hand, reflective practice is a core principle of midwifery education, so I am making an assumption (but have no proof) that a lot of people accessing these presentations are midwifery students or involved in education.</div>
554. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
555. <b><br /></b></div>
556. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
557. <b>What does this tell me?</b><br />
558. To be honest, I cannot conclude anything much from this exercise because of the small numbers. However, it is interesting that my most popular presentations have a midwifery focus, as opposed to a more general teaching and learning.  <br />
559. <br />
560. The questions I am left with are:</div>
561. <ul style="text-align: left;">
562. <li>Does the number of views make a presentation more popular, or number of downloads?</li>
563. <li>Who are the people downloading my presentations? </li>
564. <li>Why do people download presentations?What happens to the presentations?</li>
565. <li>Should I endeavour to meet the apparent needs of the audience based on statistical analytics eg if it appears that clinical topics are most viewed and downloaded, should I deliberately publish presentations that address those topics, as opposed to the approach I have taken thus far which is to just publish presentation I give at conferences, tutorials, lectures etc. </li>
566. <li>How does open education/access theory stack up 10 years or more down the line, when looking back at the reality of open content?</li>
567. </ul>
568. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
569. <b>What is next? </b></div>
570. <div style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;">
571. The next activity I plan is to drill down more into the analytics of the downloads to find out what, if anything, that tells me. Depending on the quality of information I find via Slideshare, one idea worth exploring may be to contact the people who downloaded my presentations with a short survey to find out more about the whys and wherefores. <br />
572. <br />
573. Do you have a Slideshare account? What are your most popular or most viewed presentations? Is there any other information I should look at to inform my research? Have you ever downloaded one of my presentations? Why, and what did you do with it?   <br />

581. <br />
582. A couple of weeks ago, I asked the team I work with if we could pilot the idea of starting the day with quick, 5 - 10 minute standing meetings. I am been pleasantly surprised with how well received they have been, and some of the unforeseen benefits that have materialised.  <br /><br /><b>Standing meetings</b><br />The idea of of a stand up meeting is that it is quick and to the point, because standing around for too long becomes uncomfortable and stops people going off the point, or lapsing into gossip sessions. Of course, you do need to pay attention to people who, for whatever reason, cannot stand and make other arrangements.<br /><b> </b><br />
583. <b>What do you talk about</b><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=652950132925204088"> </a><br />
584. In standing meetings, participants are asked to <a href="https://www.martinfowler.com/articles/itsNotJustStandingUp.html" target="_blank">talk about</a>:<br />
585. <ul style="text-align: left;">
586. <li>what they want to achieve during the day</li>
587. <li>what the barriers are </li>
588. <li>and what they'd like to acknowledge or celebrate in terms of success or achievement from the previous day/s.</li>
589. </ul>
590. <b>Benefits of stand-up meetings</b> <br />This idea has been around for some time, and has been considered a <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/groupthink/2014/06/19/kick-the-chair-how-standing-cut-our-meeting-times-by-25/#720e89f835fe" target="_blank">useful strategy</a> for team building, reducing time wasted in pointless seated meetings, and getting people away from their desks.<br />
591. <br />
592. <b>Outcomes I have discovered </b><br />
593. In the short time we have been trying out standing meeting to start the day, I have found:<br />
594. <ul style="text-align: left;">
595. <li>We start the day as a group of people connecting with each other, rather than rushing into our various offices and not speaking to anyone for hours on end.</li>
596. <li>As manager, I have a better understanding of what is going on for people so I can focus on who needs support, and what form that support may take. I also have a better understanding of what people are achieving across the organisation as a whole, and have been enjoying learning all sorts of things about people's work that I never knew.</li>
597. <li>We have an opportunity to brain storm together and share ideas across the whole team. I have been delighted with how everyone has pulled together to share solutions to problems, so there has been cross-pollination across units, and everyone has a voice.</li>
598. <li>We feel an accountability, and therefore motivation to complete work. In other words, if we say we're going to do something but we don't do it, then we have to explain the next day to the team. That sounds a little scary, but team members have actually felt it to be a benefit to their work management, which has come as a bit of a surprise to me.</li>
599. <li>We enjoy celebrating the small successes we have with each other as we complete activities or overcome barriers.</li>
600. <li>This has been a great way to get to know new members to the team and introduce them to life in the office.</li>
601. </ul>

How effective do you find them? What are your tips and tricks for successful standing meetings?<br />

606. About 10 years ago I became very interested in the use of social media for personal and professional teaching and learning, as well as development and networking. Over the years, as a clinical midwife, midwifery lecturer and eventually instructional designer and staff developer, I have charted my use of online technology and changes in my <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/search?q=PLE">personal learning environment (PLE</a>). I am just starting a project where I am looking back on the last ten years of <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/search?q=open+access">open access education</a> and all the concepts that interlink. So it's timely to reflect back on the evolution of my own PLE over the last 10 years. <br />
607. <br />
608. I tracked my use of online technology for teaching and learning from 2008 to 2011. I haven't posted about it since then, probably because my job changed from working in education to industry, which raises an issue about relevance and applicability that I will come back to later.<br />
609. <br />
610. <b><a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2008/05/my-ple-is-like-my-cookie-baking.html">2008</a></b><br />
611. <br />

I was talking about my blog being the central point of my PLE where I was doing all my thinking, recording and analysis, which resulted in outputs which I displayed in my e-portfolio. However, there was no sign of Facebook, Twitter or other social media tools. <br />
613. <br />
614. <br />
615. <br />
616. <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2009/04/my-ple-2009.html"><b>2009</b></a><br />
617. 2009 saw the appearance of Facebook, Twitter (more prominent than Facebook), and the virtual world, Second Life.<br />
618. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
619. <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i5Oq-MgAstw/SeFFPGwqukI/AAAAAAAAB00/CIWMbLYaacAwaljpK-kU5l18pwn9EaVWACPcB/s1600/My%2BPLE%2B2009.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-i5Oq-MgAstw/SeFFPGwqukI/AAAAAAAAB00/CIWMbLYaacAwaljpK-kU5l18pwn9EaVWACPcB/s320/My%2BPLE%2B2009.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
620.  My blog was still central but stating to drop off because of time constraints. Slideshare and Youtube were used heavily as alternative places to find information for my teaching, as well as display and share content.<br />
621. <br />
622. <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2010/07/my-ple-2010.html"><b>2010</b></a><b> </b><br />
623. <br />
624. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

626. <br />
627. <br />
628. The comment I had to make in 2010 was that my use of tools depended on the work I was doing. For example, Second Life had dropped from the PLE because I was no longer using it in my work. But that in itself is telling, because if it was worthy of use, I would have continued to use it even after my <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/search?q=second+life&max-results=20&by-date=false">Second Life project</a> had completed. Other tools had dropped off just because they were no longer available such as iGoogle and RSS. Facebook was growing in importance, as a means of networking and sharing information, and I was using tools like Animoto and Screenr to produce content for teaching and so on. I was also using wiki in various form to facilitate online collaboration.  <br />
629. <br />
630. <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2011/11/my-ple-2011.html"><b>2011</b></a><b> </b><br />
631. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

633. <b> </b> <br />
634. <br />
635. The last analysis of my PLE was in 2011 when I felt that my core tools remained much the same ie blog, e-portfolio, Facebook, Twitter, Slideshare, Youtube, Skype. However, the number of tools had reduced and I concluded that if a tool wasn't simple and intuitive, then I would not use it.<br />
636. <br />
637. <br />
638. <br />
639. <br />
640. <br />
641. <b>2017</b><br />
642. <br />
643. <div style="text-align: center;">
644. <b><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Va-dsIvPgr8/WOg9ZwV8ILI/AAAAAAAAecE/PyPfHP-UBqMbT6Ilb-m89bCGPDhzgNeGwCPcB/s1600/My_PLE_2017.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Va-dsIvPgr8/WOg9ZwV8ILI/AAAAAAAAecE/PyPfHP-UBqMbT6Ilb-m89bCGPDhzgNeGwCPcB/s400/My_PLE_2017.png" width="400" /></a> </b></div>
645. As I reflect over the last six years, I see that there are two major changes immediately noticeable. <br />
646. <ul style="text-align: left;">
647. <li>My PLE has divided, like cell mitosis into two domains: desk top computer/lap top and mobile phone. As you can see, there are tools and activities that cross both domains such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Skype. But, there are other tools and activities that I use specific to a particular domain, not necessarily because they cannot cross into the other domain, but I choose not to use it. For example, I don't use Dropbox on my phone because it's a tool I use mostly for work; as my phone is my personal phone, I don't access work materials on it.</li>
648. <li>The second big change is that Facebook is now the hub of my PLE, with my blog, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn integrated into it. This is a complete change from before when my blog and wiki e-portfolio were the hub. I do not use wiki at the moment, and <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2015/10/ditching-my-e-portfolio-for-linkedin.html" target="_blank">LinkedIn now acts as my e-portfolio</a>. </li>
649. </ul>
650. As tools, apps and platforms have moved in and out of favour, there are a few that have remained my 'tried and true' favorites such as Slideshare, Flickr and YouTube.  I think this is testament to their usability, compared to other platforms that have been 'sparkly' in the short term but have faded from favour. But the range and use of tools may also reflect my own job. For instance, now I am not teaching, I am not using the tools that helped me to develop content. Similarly, BlackBoard and BlackBoard Collaborate are only in my PLE at the moment because that is where/how my MBA is being delivered.<br />
651. <br />
652. The other thing that has changed, but might not be quite so obvious to people passing by, is that there is a lot less blurring of use across the platforms. For the most part each tool and platform has its specific target, audience, or place in my learning; Linkedin and Slideshare has professional uses; Facebook is mostly personal; Instagram is where I connect with the local Canberra community. Skype and YouTube  are the two main tools that cross over both personal and professional spaces. And as for my blog, I have just started blogging again after a time away, so not sure how that's going to go.<br />
653. <br />
654. This is the start of a bigger project where I want to look at how my content has been accessed and used over the last 10 years, in relation to open access and open education. I think its going to be a very interesting journey.<br />
655. <br />
656. How has your PLE changed over the years? Do you still blog or use wiki? How big a place in your learning does Facebook play? What the latest new tool that has come out that you love? Is the PLE such a thing, or just  trendy term that we used back in the day? <br />
657. <br />
658. PS: If you're interested in tracking your use of social media and online tools over the years against the global trends, have a look at <a href="http://c4lpt.co.uk/top100tools/" target="_blank">Jane Hart's Top Tools for Learning Lists</a> which she has been amalgamating since 2007.  <br />

663. <div style="text-align: left;">
664. I am a fabulous dancer....a cross between Ginger Rogers, Margot Fonteyn, and the latest winner of "<i>So you think you can dance</i>"...or at least.... I am in my head!</div>
665. <div style="text-align: left;">
666. <br /></div>
667. <div style="text-align: left;">
668. The sad truth is that I am crap at dancing. I hear rhythm in my head, but somehow there is a break down in the message between my brain and the rest of my body, which means my coordination with the music is rubbish.<br />
669. </div>
670. <div style="text-align: left;">
671. </div>
672. <div style="text-align: left;">
673. Like, I had ballroom dance lessons with my hubby and did my back in. Another time my daughter took me to Zumba classes but ended up banning me from going again because I ran over a beautiful little disabled lady at the back of the class - my daughter says she's never been so embarrassed....until the next terrible thing I did! </div>
674. <div style="text-align: center;">
675. <br /></div>
676. <div style="text-align: left;">
677. But this week I was thrilled, because my daughter gave me one last chance and took me to "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/nlnlcanberra/" target="_blank">No lights, no lycra</a>", in Reid, Canberra. I have to admit to being rather nervous, but it turns out that it's a dance class that you do completely in the dark. The good news is you do keep your clothes on! AND, it's only 5 bucks!</div>
678. <div style="text-align: left;">
679. <br /></div>
680. <div style="text-align: left;">
681. I absolutely loved this dance class. I was able to release my inner wild child and dance my crazy moves which I think is innovative choreography, but daughter calls mortifying. To be completely uninhibited and not worry what anyone thinks is truly liberating. Plus, I got a great work out.</div>
682. <div style="text-align: left;">
683. <br /></div>
684. <div style="text-align: left;">
685. To all you people out there, or at least in Canberra, if you fancy a boogy-on-down, a bit of exercise, or just an hour of fun, I can't recommend the class enough: Wednesday evenings, 7:30-9pm, at St John's Church Hall in Reid - $5 on the door.

691. I am on the editorial committee of the <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/magazines/australian-midwifery-news" target="_blank">Australian Midwifery News</a> and we're looking for articles for the next edition which has "back to midwifery basics" as its theme. The deadline for <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/submit-article-midwifery-news" target="_blank">submission to the editor</a> is the 10th April, but I am sure that can be negotiated if you would be interested in submitting an article. <br />
692. <br />
693. This has got me thinking about what I would say about how to get back to midwifery basics.<br />
694. <br />
695. There are lots of things, especially clinical tips and tricks, that I could talk about, but I feel they all lead back to four key 'back to midwifery basics' principles:<br />

697. <li>Work in partnership with women, preferably in a continuity model of care, to build a relationship so that both woman and midwife have trust and confidence in each other. This will lead to <a href="http://www.cochrane.org/CD004667/PREG_midwife-led-continuity-models-care-compared-other-models-care-women-during-pregnancy-birth-and-early" target="_blank">better clinical outcomes for women and improved job satisfaction and autonomy for midwives</a>;</li>
698. <li>Facilitate <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0009615/" target="_blank">informed choice and decision-making</a> by ensuring women have access to evidence-based information. Further, that women are supported to fully understand the implications of their decisions and able to plan their care. This is especially important to do in the antenatal period so that women are prepared for labour and birth, and once the baby comes. It needs time and care, and cannot be done in 5 minute antenatal appointments!</li>
699. <li>Resist medical interventions that are unnecessary, unproven, have no impact on clinical outcomes and may even be harmful eg <a href="http://www.cochrane.org/CD006066/PREG_continuous-cardiotocography-ctg-form-electronic-fetal-monitoring-efm-fetal-assessment-during-labour" target="_blank">continuous fetal monitoring in labour</a>.This takes time, strength and persistence; however, the <a href="https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0ahUKEwid08y0lonTAhXEKZQKHbRhBREQFggsMAM&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpatientsafety.health.org.uk%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Fresources%2F6.leadership_in_maternity_services-v2.pdf&usg=AFQjCNGQs0qjrJYlgq7EzaZ8xXzBN7bi8A&sig2=rrcYDV-kSO4SCcTmtezgUw&bvm=bv.151325232,d.dGo&cad=rja" target="_blank">maternity services are crying out for strong midwifery leadership</a> in this area.</li>
700. <li>Treat women and their families with <a href="http://bmcpregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12884-014-0366-2" target="_blank">respect, kindness, dignity, compassion</a> and <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/miriam_zoila_perez_how_racism_harms_pregnant_women_and_what_can_help" target="_blank">cultural sensitivity (not racism)</a>.   </li>

705. If you are a midwife, what do you feel we should be "getting back" to? If you are a pregnant woman, what "basics" do you believe midwives should be focusing on?<br />

710. For years now <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/search/label/ePortfolio">I have been exploring and experimenting</a> with online
711. systems to develop a universal e-portfolio for midwives and nurses that
712. they could use from day one of their undergraduate education; for the
713. rest of their careers.<br />
714. <div dir="auto">
715. <br /></div>
716. <div dir="auto">
717. I would
718. have loved to have seen this come via the profession or (with a little
719. hesitation) the regulator. However, this vision has not materialized,
720. not least because of funding constraints.</div>
721. <div dir="auto">
722. <br /></div>
723. <div dir="auto">
724. So,
725. it was with great interest that I have had a look at <a href="https://www.ausmed.com.au/cpd-organiser" target="_blank">a new e-portfolio tool provided free of charge to Australian midwives and nurses by Ausmed</a>. Ausmed is a company that specialises in nurse (and midwifery) CPD, providing online education, conferences and e-news update.</div>

737. The
738. Ausmed tool is very easy to use and can be downloaded as an app on
739. one's portable device, as well as a web-based application.<a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Janet_Green2/publication/257348572_Electronic_portfolio_in_nursing_education_A_review_of_the_literature/links/00b7d52d447616d00d000000.pdf" target="_blank"> Portability is a very desirable function</a> as it allows midwives and nurses to record
740. their CPD and learning activities in real time, which facilitates
741. greater accuracy and engagement. I know that I forget to record what I
742. have learned after a study day etc, and am much less motivated to engage
743. with my portfolio as time goes by. So being able to record on the job,
744. so to speak,  makes life much easier, especially when it comes to
745. meeting <a href="http://www.nursingmidwiferyboard.gov.au/Registration-Standards/Continuing-professional-development.aspx" target="_blank">registration requirements</a> for the Nursing and Midwifery Board of
746. Australia (NMBA).</div>

748. </div>

750. What I like about this tool is you can record activities other than the standard conference or study day, such as reading or mentoring, as well as reflect on your learning.   </div>

770. The other thing I like is a section called "Fast CPD" which has short articles focused on particular topics of interest that update or teach. The only snag is that there are very little articles of relevance to midwives - hopefully that will be rectified soon.</div>
771. <div dir="auto">
772. </div>
773. <div dir="auto">
774. The other cool thing the app does is keep a track of CPD hours and lets you know how many hours you must record in order to meet NMBA requirements, and how many more days you have to meet the requirement before the end of the registration year. </div>
775. <div dir="auto">
776. <br /></div>
777. <div dir="auto">
778. My concerns about this innovation is that it is managed by a commercial company, who clearly say in their <a href="https://www.ausmed.com/privacy-policy" target="_blank">Privacy Policy</a> that they will use your information for purposes such as analytics, marketing and research. They even say in their Privacy Policy that they may "disclose your personal information to overseas recipients for the purposes of providing services or products to you". I would be very careful about information I save in the app/tool, and especially careful about disclosing information relating to patients, clients or healthcare.  </div>
779. <div dir="auto">
780. </div>
781. <div dir="auto">
782. Ausmed does say "Please contact Ausmed using the information contained at the bottom of
783. the Ausmed Websites, our emails, and this Privacy Policy to restrict
784. Ausmed's collection, disclosure and use of your Personal Information." This 'opt out' system is designed so that we are unlikely to do so; again, my advice is to very carefully read and consider the Privacy Policy and its impact on you as a health professional.  </div>
785. <div dir="auto">
786. </div>
787. <div dir="auto">
788. I would also carefully read all the <a href="https://www.ausmed.com/terms-and-conditions" target="_blank">terms and conditions</a> because I am not clear about the IP of content stored in the e-portfolio. The terms and condition say "grant us a perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable,
789. worldwide and transferable right and licence to use that content in any
790. way". This needs to be clarified by Ausmed.<br />
791. <br />
792. Other questions I have that I will check out with Ausmed include:<br />
793. <ul style="text-align: left;">
794. <li>Where are the servers that keep our information? Are they in Australia liable to Australian laws, or overseas?</li>
795. <li>What are Ausmed's long term plans for the app? Will it remain free, or will a fee be introduced soon?</li>
796. <li>How often are backups carried out? What are the chances that data will be lost? </li>
797. <li>Is there a limit to the amount of data that can be uploaded into an entry?</li>
798. </ul>
799. </div>
800. <div dir="auto">
801. In conclusion, the Ausmed CPD organiser, or e-portfolio looks like a very easy and relevant tool for midwives and nurses. However, it is being offered by a commercial company, so it's worth being aware that there will be something in it for Ausmed, and think about how that may impact on your professional practice. </div>

809. I have been a little fixated with age as I approach my 55th birthday at the end of next week. If I had stayed working in the NHS, I would be eligible to retire now!<br />
810. <br />
811. When I remember my mother's 5oth and 60th birthdays,  I remember thinking how old she was and yet, here I am. .. Nevertheless, I am feeling inspired today despite my rapidly approaching old age$%^!? <br />
812. <br />
813. The first story of achievement which has struck a cord is the record breaking row of the Atlantic by <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-35144944" target="_blank">four amazing middle aged women in 2015</a>. Their story was told at the <a href="http://oceanfilmfestivalaustralia.com.au/" target="_blank">Ocean film festival</a> which I attended last weekend. The festival was full of stories of daring-do by young, white, hippy types. But it was the story of  Niki Doeg, 44, Helen Butters, 45, Frances Davies, 47, and Janette Benaddi, 51 who competed against 25 other teams in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge that I really enjoyed.<br />
814. <br />
815. Granted they are a smidge younger than me, but to take on that challenge at their ages is truly awe-inspiring.<br />
816. <br />
817. The second inspiring event that took place this week was meeting <a href="http://indigenousmidwives.org.au/board-of-trustees/" target="_blank">Ruth Inal</a>l. Ruth is a trustee of the <a href="http://indigenousmidwives.org.au/" target="_blank">Rhodanthe Lippsett Trust</a>, which is a scholarship program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander midwifery students. At the age of 92 she is just handing over the role of treasurer and was telling me about her visit to lobby the NSW premier just the other day. I wish I could successfully lobby politicians now at my age, let alone when I am in my 90s!<br />
818. <br />
819. What I loved hearing her talk about was succession planning and mentoring, which I worry we are not doing well enough in health as we face a<a href="https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0ahUKEwii2NWZp4XTAhVFppQKHdOuBTcQFgghMAE&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.health.gov.au%2Finternet%2Fmain%2Fpublishing.nsf%2FContent%2F34AA7E6FDB8C16AACA257D9500112F25%2F%24File%2FAFHW%2520-%2520Nurses%2520detailed%2520report.pdf&usg=AFQjCNEedxi4ZsG1MeoqqfSp1567UGDKvw&sig2=_wUQlt-x2dg7pF8dHXZimA&cad=rja" target="_blank"> large proportion of midwives and nurses retiring in the next 10 years</a>.<br />
820. <br />
821. Clearly age is not a barrier to getting things done or achieving one's dreams. Which leaves me thinking about what I want to do when I grow up?!<br />
822. <br />
823. What is your big dream or goal that you want to achieve in the next few years? How much do you feel that age is a barrier to achieving success?</div>

825. <h2 style="text-align: left;">
826.  <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
827. <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6PZNd-zYYt8/WNXue4EGYDI/AAAAAAAAeWs/xdsP8G_2O80yJ-fO5wAq3RGeLs7X6-s9wCLcB/s1600/2017-03-25_1513.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-6PZNd-zYYt8/WNXue4EGYDI/AAAAAAAAeWs/xdsP8G_2O80yJ-fO5wAq3RGeLs7X6-s9wCLcB/s320/2017-03-25_1513.png" width="320" /></a> </div>
828. </h2>
829. <div style="text-align: left;">
830. <span style="font-weight: normal;">A couple of years ago I was going through a period where I couldn't see the woods for the trees. I was feeling so over-whelmed, I could barely put one foot in front of the other. In an attempt to sort myself out,<a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2015/12/coaching-effective-way-to-adddess-work.html"> I joined a free six week coaching program</a> called NewAccess, delivered by Beyond Blue.</span></div>
831. <h2 style="text-align: left;">
832. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
833. </div>
834. </h2>
835. It was a really useful process. It wasn't that I learned anything new, and what the coach passed on wasn't rocket science. However, taking time out to consider what I do and how I do it was very beneficial, and helped me to get moving again. And in the eight weeks following the coaching program I was accepted onto a MBA program, gained my nurse registration in New Zealand and Australia, and applied for long term residency in Australia!<br />
836. <br />
837. Here's four things that I found to be really beneficial in overcoming that feeling of being overwhelmed, and getting moving again.<br />
838. <br />
839. <b>1. Break down activities into small, individual tasks</b><br />
840. At my worse, I could barely come up with a shopping list, let alone start anything as complicated as applying for my Australian residency. However, by breaking down all the tasks into manageable activities, and then ticking them off, I was able to work my way through what needed to be done. And each time I ticked off an activity, the satisfaction of completing something increased my confidence.<br />
841. <br />
842. <b>2. Put individual tasks into your calendar</b><br />
843. Writing a list is one thing, but getting the tasks done on the list is another. I found that scheduling tasks in my calender's helped me to manage my time and incentivized me. I found it a lot more difficult to ignore pop-up calendar reminders than lists that may end up in the rubbish bin. <br />
844. <br />
845. <b>3. Give yourself small personal goals to achieve</b><br />
846. The beauty of giving yourself small goals to achieve is that when you achieve them, they give you a real boost and build your confidence, making you to want to move on.<b> </b>The trick is not to give yourselves large, unrealistic goals because you can set yourself up to fail, and this only compounds your difficulties.<br />
847. <br />
848. For example, you decide to go for an hour's walk every day of the week. But you might actually be better off setting yourself a goal of two walks a week, or a walk every day but for 10 minutes, rather than an hour. <b> </b>Then you can build the size and commitment of your goals as you increase your confidence and capacity. <br />
849. <b><br /></b>
850. <b>4. Live a healthier life</b><br />
851. I know this has been said time and time again, but it does make a difference! Get rid of all the crap food, booze, smoking and other unhealthy stuff that physically impacts on your mental health.<br />
852. <br />
853. Get regular exercise and eat healthy food.  My favorite thing is to go for a walk and listen to an audio book as I go. It gets me out into the fresh air, allows me to relax, and gives me space to collect my thoughts and re-group for the next few hours or days.<b><br /></b><br />
854. <br />
855. What are your top tips for overcoming those times when you feel unable to move forward? What works for you, and why? </div>

860. </h2>
861. <div style="text-align: left;">
862. A pubic consultation is <a href="https://www.getinvolved.qld.gov.au/gi/consultation/3805/view.html" target="_blank">now open on the new Australian Maternity Services Framework</a>. It's imperative that anyone with a stake in maternity; midwives, women, families, nurses, grandfathers...in other words...everyone....has their say! </div>
863. <div style="text-align: left;">
864. <br /></div>
865. <div style="text-align: left;">
866. The 2<a href="http://www.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/content/maternityservicesplan" target="_blank">010-2015 Maternity Services Plan</a> came to an end a while ago.  A lot of good ideas and actions were embedded in the Plan, such as a commitment to <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/know-your-midwife-benefits" target="_blank">midwifery continuity of care</a> and support of <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/resources/joint-birthing-country-position-statement" target="_blank">Birthing on Country</a>. There have been some successes, but we <a href="http://www.aihw.gov.au/mothers-and-babies/" target="_blank">still have an incredible amount of work to do</a> to address such outcomes as caesarean section rate of over 30%;<a href="https://www.humanrights.gov.au/our-work/aboriginal-and-torres-strait-islander-social-justice/publications/close-gap-progress-0" target="_blank"> twice the mortality rate</a> of indigenous babies compared to non-indigenous babies, and<a href="http://theconversation.com/factcheck-is-suicide-one-of-the-leading-causes-of-maternal-death-in-australia-65336" target="_blank"> suicide is still a leading cause of maternal mortality</a>.   </div>
867. <div style="text-align: left;">
868. <br /></div>
869. <div style="text-align: left;">
870. One of my concerns with this new document is that it is a "framework" and not a plan. This means that the government outlines a "vision" and "principles" but abdicates the responsibility for implementation and evaluation back to the states and territories. This will lead to further inconsistency and inequities around Australia, which <a href="https://www.midwives.org.au/news/consultation-national-framework-maternity-services" target="_blank">increases risk to the maternity services</a>.</div>
871. <div style="text-align: left;">
872. <br /></div>
873. <div style="text-align: left;">
874. I am pleased to see that cultural safety and woman-centred care are key principles, but continuity of midwifery care is not identified as an enabler despite <a href="http://www.cochrane.org/CD004667/PREG_midwife-led-continuity-models-care-compared-other-models-care-women-during-pregnancy-birth-and-early" target="_blank">very strong, high level evidence that it makes a considerable difference</a> to clinical outcomes. There is a brief mention of continuity of midwifery care toward the end of the Framework, and no talk of 'birthing on country' at all, which is very disappointing. </div>
875. <div style="text-align: left;">
876. <br /></div>
877. <div style="text-align: left;">
878. My overall impression is that the Framework is very focused on screening for and preventing medical complications, which is right and proper, but lacks a more holistic, community approach to improving care for women and their families. </div>
879. <div style="text-align: left;">
880. <br /></div>
881. <div style="text-align: left;">
882. Have you reviewed the Framework? What do you think? What do you think the Framework does well, and what additions would you like to see?</div>

891. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
892. <a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iv1W_VCUO8M/WM9krwLZdcI/AAAAAAAAeVI/SqglqOFtAQw5W1pVljDBD0Y9lVAY0jVfACLcB/s1600/17157713_10155115012701306_5138248912858924258_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iv1W_VCUO8M/WM9krwLZdcI/AAAAAAAAeVI/SqglqOFtAQw5W1pVljDBD0Y9lVAY0jVfACLcB/s320/17157713_10155115012701306_5138248912858924258_o.jpg" width="179" /></a></div>
893. The other day I had the great privilege and pleasure to be MC at a wedding of  two beautiful young people. I have to admit I was very nervous because I didn't really any idea what a wedding MC did. Back in the day, we never had MCs, and any formalities were generally managed by the best man.<br />
894. <br />
895. So, based on my experience, here are eight top tips for being a wedding MC, in no particular order.<br />
896. <br />
897. <b>1. Be prepared</b><br />
898. The wedding MC is responsible for making sure the program runs to plan. Therefore, it is worth having a written time line of events; who is doing what and when, and running over things with the wedding couple before the day. That way you'll know all the little idiosyncrasies, and be able to act when time lines drift, or unexpected problems arise.<br />
899. <br />
900. <b>2. Get to know the key players</b><br />
901. By key players, I don't so much mean the wedding party, but rather the people behind the scenes such as the photographer, catering and venue managers, bar keeper and anyone else responsible for providing services. That way you can keep an eye on how the day is unfolding; liaise with appropriate personnel, and be the conduit between the wedding party and the service staff.<br />
902. <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MyeBz1oxTh0/WM9kw0eDzAI/AAAAAAAAeVM/J40-KNDtdMQJUEwwsF-bCkwTWzfOrwxJgCLcB/s1600/17240312_10155314418393690_2616440460676279005_o.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MyeBz1oxTh0/WM9kw0eDzAI/AAAAAAAAeVM/J40-KNDtdMQJUEwwsF-bCkwTWzfOrwxJgCLcB/s320/17240312_10155314418393690_2616440460676279005_o.jpg" /></a><br />
903. <br />
904. <b>3. Stick to time frames</b><br />
905. There's nothing worse than a wedding reception that drags on and on, especially when proceedings are holding up the food. So keep your introductions and instructions short and sweet; make sure the speeches stick to time; and do what ever you can to keep everyone on track.<br />
906. <br />
907. <b>4. You don't have to be a stand-up comedian </b><br />
908. The MC does not have to be a comedian, although you'll probably be asked because you are a confident and personable pubic speaker. Your role is to facilitate proceedings, not to be persistently cracking jokes. The risk is that the jokes you tell will offend least one person, which can put a dampener on things. And as one wedding planner said, if the wedding party want a stand-up comedian, they should hire one!<br />
909. <br />
910. I would suggest that you plan a script if you are not a confident public speaker. That will keep you to time, and make sure you don't wonder off into more controversial territory. Let others get themselves into trouble; not you!<br />
911. <br />
912. <b>5. Get to know the venue and equipment</b><br />
913. It's really worth checking out the venue beforehand so you know where important locations are such as toilets and fire escapes. Also, know where to go behind the scenes, like the kitchen, in case there's problems you need to sort out. It's also worth knowing about venue policies such as smoking and alcohol licensing restrictions. Similarly, make sure you have checked all equipment like the microphone to make sure it works, and give yourself time to fix faulty equipment before the wedding starts.<br />
914. <br />
915. <b>6. Stay sober!</b><br />
916. My nervousness was further aggravated by the grooms telling me that I had been "employed" to be MC because I was very funny. What I don't think they fully appreciated was that I am only really funny when I am tipsy. But, getting drunk is not an option when you are a wedding MC!<br />
917. <br />
918. <b>7. Get to know people</b><br />
919. It's great fun getting to know everyone at the wedding and hearing about their connections to the wedding party. As MC you can help people to enjoy themselves; encourage them to get involved; introduce them to other attendees and help break the ice; and if nothing else, drag people up onto the dance floor.<br />
920. <br />
921. <b>8. Have fun!</b><br />
922. I had a lovely time at the wedding and really appreciated the opportunity to celebration the union of two people in love. However, I did feel the responsibility quite strongly and didn't really relax until after my role had come to an end. But if you get too nervous, your performance will be stilted and won't flow. So, relax...enjoy yourself...and believe in yourself, the same way the newly weds believe in you!</div>

/> I am bucking the trend in Australia because an increasing number of midwives are letting go of their nurse registration. This is because of a number of reasons, not least because midwives do not identify as nurses, and do not want to have to maintain two sets of regulatory requirements.<br />
927. <br />
928. You could be forgiven for wondering how on earth I have managed to register as a nurse when I have such a prominent midwifery role. I have to say that it was a lot easier than I thought because so much of what I do in my day job can also be applied to nursing.<br />
929. <br />
930. I don't have any plans to dash off and become the next Florence Nightingale. But I do think it's handy to have my nursing registration up my sleeve in case I ever decide to do something different one day, like work in a rural or remote area of Australia.<br />
931. <br />
932. Are you a midwife who also has a nurse qualification? Have you maintained your nurse registration, or let it go?  How easy is it to maintain two professional registrations in your country?</div>

936.  <a href="https://www.beyondblue.org.au/about-us" target="_blank">BeyondBlue</a> is an Australian organisation that addresses depression and mental health issues. One of the recent initiatives it has released is the <a href="https://www.beyondblue.org.au/get-support/newaccess---a-beyondblue-program" target="_blank">NewAccess coaching service</a>. This is a six week coaching service offered to people who wish to devise mechanisms and solutions to deal with particular work-life pressures or issues.<br />
937. <br />
938. I enrolled into this program a few weeks ago and have one session left. I decided to take part because it's a free service - yes, I am that shallow! -  and I thought it would be interesting to access a coaching service. <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/what-makes-great-midwifery-mentor.html" target="_blank">I have spent many years looking at mentoring</a> and trying to tease out what the difference is between mentoring, coaching, preceptorship and counseling. I hoped that by receiving coaching I would be able to further tease out what is involved, and how it may be beneficial for professional development.<br />
939. <br />
940. I decided to focus on how to better manage my work-life commitments. If the conversations I have with friends and colleagues are any thing to go by, this is a problems that many of us face. I'll talk a little more about what I learned in my next post.<br />
941. <br />
942. I have found the program to be immensely beneficial. I talk to my coach by phone - we've never met in person. The 30 minutes or so that we've spent together have given me time out to think about the changes I can make to my life, and how to better manage my commitments. Whilst my coach has lent me a sympathetic ear, she has also given me strategies to try out in my life. None of it has been rocket science, or even stuff that I didn't already know.  But I have found it very useful to have someone to be accountable to, and have the coach layer out activities for me week by week which has helped me see the wood for the trees. <br />
943. <br />
944. The only problem with NewAccess is that it has limited availability in Australia.<br />
945. <br />
946. I would certainly recommend the program to people who have access; in Adelaide, Canberra and New South Wales.  I have enjoyed having a coach who I have found to be someone who not only listens to my issues but also offers me ideas about how to manage those issues effectively.<br />
947. <br />
948. This experience has certainly opened my eyes to the benefits of coaching, and I am going to look at how I can continue to access coaching in the new year. The only snag to professional coaching services that I can see, is the expense.<br />
949. <br />
950. Have you ever received coaching for work? How did you find it?<br />

964. Having admitted that <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/im-one-of-80.html" target="_blank">I have terrible trouble losing weight and keeping it off,</a> I am back on the weight loss tread mill.<br />
965. <br />
966. I have gone back to Weight Watchers but this time I am using their weekly phone coaching service. I chose this methodology because I couldn't be bothered to go to the weekly classes - not a good sign!?  And WW were having a sale, so it wasn't too expensive when I signed up.<br />
967. <br />
968. I have been at it for a month and enjoying this service. I get a 10 minute call every week and also have access to the online tracking system which can also be accessed via my phone.<br />
969. <br />
970. To be honest, I don't find the content of the coaching that helpful. You can't really achieve much dialogue in 10 minutes. But I am finding it motivating having to account to someone every week. And the mobile app is great for keeping track of what I eat and do.<br />
971. <br />
972. The plan that I have signed up for lasts for 3 months. I am not sure what I'll do when it runs out.<br />
973. <br />
974. But in the meantime, I think it will be really useful to keep me on the straight and narrow over Christmas.<br />
975. <br />
976.  What motivation do you use for keeping fit and healthy?<br />

980. I went to the see the film "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3077214/" target="_blank">Suffragette</a>" the other day with my daughter.<br />
981. <br />
982. The story is about Maud, who is a working class woman who becomes embroiled in the fight for women's right to vote in the early 1900s in the UK.<br />
983. <br />
984. On the whole, I thought the film was overly long and a surface once-over look at this time in history. But having said that, it was good to see the story from the working class point of view, for a change.<br />
985. <br />
986. The value for me of the film is that it reminds us of the fight for suffrage, both historical and today. For example, my daughter didn't know about Emily Davison and how she lost her life for the cause at the 1913 Darby.<br />
987. <br />

989. <br />
990. But at the same time, it made me sad because I wander how much women have gained. We still do not have parity in wages. Women in Australia are being killed by their partners at an alarming rate. In some parts of the world, women do not have the right to vote, and in other parts of the world they are sexual and economic slaves.<br />
991. <br />
992. I wonder what Emily Davis would say about women in today's world. Would she think her sacrifice was worth it? </div>

996. <div style="text-align: left;">
997. Over the last couple of weeks I have taken part in a Canberra project called 'Make my day'. 'Make my day' is a <a href="http://designcanberrafestival.com.au/" target="_blank">Design Canberra</a> project organised by <a href="http://www.designthinkingnetwork.com/profile/kateshaw" target="_blank">Kate Shaw</a>.<br />
998. <br />
999. The
1000. aim of the project was for participants to take photos during their day
1001. every couple of hours. Kate collated the photos to make a shared story
1002. of how Canberra defines participants and how the participants defined
1003. Canberra. The final product was displayed in an exhibition last weekend
1004. in Northbourne Street.<br />
1005. <br />
1006. I submitted photos from Friday 20th and Sunday 22nd November. My favorite photo was taken first thing on Sunday of a pair of shoes that a girl had left lying on the pavement from the evening before - I hope they weren't too expensive.<br />
1007. <br />
1008. It was fascinating to see all the photos put into themes and made into a giant mosaic.  <br />
1009. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

1011.   <br />
1012. Canberra clearly is a very busy place, and at the same time means so
1013. many different things to different people.<br />
1014. <br />
1015. I expected to see many glossy
1016. "posed" Instagram photos, but was pleasantly surprised to see very ordinary pictures which felt so much more authentic.<br />
1017. <br />
1018. Canberra get a bum rap from many people who pass by, but to those of us who live here, Canberra is a vibrant place with many faces.  </div>

1033. <br /></div>
1034. I was very lucky to have been <a href="http://sarah-stewart.blogspot.com.au/2015/11/are-you-ready-for-2015-canberra.html">invited to be a guest blogger</a> for this year's <a href="http://www.ciff.com.au/" target="_blank">Canberra Film Festival</a> with my daughter, Ellen.  <br />
1035. <br />
1036. The 2015 Canberra Film Festival was very enjoyable. I loved the new venue at the <a href="http://www.nfsa.gov.au/" target="_blank">National Sound and Film Archive</a> - the film screen is second to none. The program was interesting. The greater emphasis on local film makers and documentaries from the Asia region was a change from the more main stream films that have been shown in previous years. I certainly had my eyes opened by some of the documentaries, and the local films illustrated the fabulous talent of film makers that live and work in Australia.<br />
1037. <br />
1038. Being a guest blogger for a film festival is great fun, not least because I got to see films than I normally would not go to see. At the same time, it was tiring because there was a pressure to get reviews written in a timely way. I found it a challenge to write the reviews in a way that demonstrated I knew about film-making but bringing a personal slant. <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/" target="_blank">Rotten Tomatoes</a> was a useful resource to check out what professional film reviewers thought about a particular film. But inevitably, my opinion differed from the general view on that website, probably because I am not a film professional, and was writing purely from an emotional point of view, as opposed to a more technical one.<br />
1039. <br />
1040. <a href="http://smason566.wix.com/ciff#%21sarah-and-ellen-blog/cjg9" target="_blank">Here are the reviews that Ellen and I wrote</a> about the films we saw.<br />
1041. <br />
1042. The festival has now finished, and I am feeling a degree of film
1043. withdrawal. But I am reassured knowing that two outdoor cinema seasons
1044. are coming up -  <a href="http://openaircinemas.com.au/canberra/home" target="_blank">Ben and Jerry's Outdoor Cinema</a> and <a href="http://www.sunsetcinema.com.au/canberra" target="_blank">Sunset Cinema</a>.<br />
1045. <br />
1046. What would be your review of the latest film you have watched?</div>
