To want to see a female rather than male physio for post natal issues?(55 Posts)
Had an appointment to see a (female) physio earlier in the week to help me with some persisting spd after my baby was born 4.5 months ago. I went along to the appointment and they'd cocked it up, making the appointment at the hospital but sending me a letter telling me it was at the community health centre.
They made me another appointment this Monday and yesterday when the letter arrived the named physio was a man. I had assumed it would be with the same woman and it wasn't mentioned when I rescheduled.
I had a difficult birth & was left slightly traumatised. The recurring pain is deep in my groin so there's a good chance he might want to have a knead. Whilst I know he will be nothing but professional and respectful, I feel quite apprehensive about it and am considering ringing and asking to rearrange with a woman. Maybe I feel like a woman might have more empathy.
I feel like I'm being unreasonable and sexist but I still feel quite vulnerable in that area. I still have traumatic memories of a (male) doctor with huge hands trying to tug my cervix opening round while in the throes of a contraction and screaming in pain. I know it's not connected but I'm worried I might freak out a bit and want to feel as comfortable as possible.
AIBU? Please be kind!
Yanbu. But presuming this is on the NHS I would imagine they can't always ensure a female is available when there are appointments.
I would have also thought that you would have needed to mention it on booking.
I wouldn't be sure that a woman would have more empathy. I find women who haven't had kids or quite easy pregnancies and labours quite Un Empathetic about pregnancy and child birth.
I suffered SPD that took a long time to correct. Women were the most scathing about pregnancy evening entirely natural and I was putting on the months of pain afterwards.
That comes down to the person not the gender.
I would call them and explain after a traumatic birth you would feel more comfortable with a woman and see what they can do.
You are DNBU. Trauma or no trauma, it is your right to ask for a female when one is available. You don't need to justify the reasons either, just phone up and say you want to see the female physio.
Hope you get your issues sorted.
Yanbu but they are professionals and just want to do their job (whatever that may entail that day..)
Fwiw at 16 weeks preg i had a big leak and thought my waters had gone.. i went to the emergency labour ward at the hospital and the doctor on duty was male (specifically a ward ONLY for preg women) and he had to do all sorts of vaginal clamps and swabs and prodding. I would much have preferred a women but he went out of his way to be as empathetic and professional as possible (probably because he was a guy and knew this made an embarrassing situation more awkward)
First of all, you poor women. That sounds very traumatic and, having also been "examined" during a contraction, I know just how distressing it is
YANBU at all to want a women physio. At all. But whether you'll be able to get one without a long wait on the NHS is another thing. Physio services are very stretched. Is going private an option?
Hope you manage to get something sorted
There is no harm in calling and asking if it's feasible to swap. The worst that can happen is they say no. If they do say no then give it a shot and see how it goes. My experience has always been really good with male physios.
Thanks, I thought I was going to be shot down in flames and told I was being massively precious and unreasonable. I will ring shortly and see. I appreciate they were trying to fit me in and if they can't reschedule for ages I will maybe give it a go with him (and try not to be too embarrassed when explaining that my pelvic floor is not what it was).
YANBU. I'm seeing a male physio, but was asked first if i was happy to see a male. I would have thought that should be pretty standard procedure.
Any male nurses or doctors I have been treated by have been far more conscious about causing pain than female staff.
Men can get SPD too from injury to the pelvis so the physio may well be great.
I can understand why you might feel self conscious but it's not an internal exam? I'd get the treatment asap rather than wait for a female physio to be honest.
YANBU, I have done the same.
And I always think it doesn't matter if the physio is professional. Physios are used to touching strangers bodies. I am not used to strangers touching my body. And my comfort matters, as does yours.
I have had a lot of problems post-birth (nearly 3 years ago). Have seen multiple physicians (lots of different backgrounds) and felt that it was much easier to explain my pain to another woman. Like you, my pain was deep in my groin and had to 'point at' - I had to describe it. The women I saw understood my descriptions much more than the men and I thought this was because they are women with the same bits as me! I saw a fantastic woman who specialises in post natal physio - if you're able to go privately see if there is someone in your area. Seeing her was the first massive step on my road to recovery.
Good luck!
*hard to point at
I'd imagine they've fitted you in with whoever they could at short notice. If you don't mind waiting for availability, YANBU to request a switch to a female.
Phone them up and ask if there is a woman available you need to be comfortable yanbu
I'd give him a chance, my physio is male and I'm sure has seen and prodded everything - he's very good and I'm sure it's more aware of not trying to hurt me too much compared to some of the women. That said I did feel a bit awkward seeing him post-natally because I was worried I'd leak milk if I was lying on my front foot any time and that's probably not something he sees so often.
I had the same thing after my last birth and went to see the physio - they just gave me exercises which didn't help. I eventually (after a year or so) went to an osteopath who was more hands on - it was pressure on my hips though not groin area - and that sorted it out. I did have a relapse when I took up running but went to the osteopath again and it's been mostly fine since.
I rang the hospital and the chap (ironically) that answered was very understanding and within 30 mins had swapped things round so I am seeing a female physio (who is also the senior physio) at the same time. Just hope I haven't now made whoever I've been swapped with uncomfortable...
You just expect your body to bounce back don't you, just another thing they don't tell you about pregnancy and birth!

If we allow people to pick and choose on the grounds of sex it is a short step to being able to pick and choose on the grounds of race/ religion/culture.
I understand how you feel. I had similar problems - but in the end it was fine. I would hate to think that our sons and daughters will be barred from certain places and professions on the grounds of patient/customer choice.
A Muslim woman - only a Muslim female practitioner
A Muslim man - only a male Muslim doctor
A Catholic woman only a male catholic surgeon
A white woman -only a white Atheist or CofE practitioner
Good reasons for all of these preferences depending on the procedure. If that is how people feel. whether we should accommodate them is another matter.
Hope it goes well OP.
Oh that's a brilliant result OP. Really pleased for you. I hope she can sort you out - I think physios are miracle workers! I cried with relief and gratitude to my physio when he made such a difference to me after just one session. Fingers crossed it's just as effective for you
I agree with bluejug. I hope that as our culture becomes less sexist men and women will stop feeling so alien about each other and this issue would stop arising.
A stranger is a stranger and no more or less strange, no more or less likely to sympathise or be professional depending on their gender.
sorry posted to soon - for now given the sexism that does pervade our society it is reasonable for people to think the way the OP does and to ask for a swap. Glad it turned out well.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Less sexist? Well maybe if so many women were not routinely sexually harassed by men they might view men who are strangers differently?

We all go through day to day struggles, even Jay-Z. As he let on in his famous track off The Black Album, '99 Problems', the Jigga man has his fair share of issues. He even lists a few in the song including, critics, the m-f'ing law, etc, etc. I won't bore you with those. No. This blog is here to let you in on the ones you don't know about. Perhaps by peeping the shit S. Carter goes through we'll all learn that when it comes down to it, he's just a man like us. Just stupid rich. HOV!

Well, I've been having a great road trip these last couple days. I've driven my car into Georgia and now I'm in Alabama enjoying the laid back atmosphere. It's good for me to interject that I would never have gotten here had I not replaced my catalytic converter and battery. Can you believe that I got it all done for $360? I'll tell you the story and you'll learn some good tips on how to save money on car repairs.
Three months ago I went in to my local Pep Boys to get an oil change and complained about a rattling sound under my car. While I was waiting for the work to get done I pulled out my computer and found an oil change coupon online for $19.99. Just so you know, they accepted it so I didn't have to pay the normal $30. (That's what I do for all expensive services) Anyway, they said that my catalytic converter needed to be changed but Pep Boys charges $100 per hour for labor. No way I say! I refuse to pay that for a 2 hour fix it job. The total with parts included would have sent me into the $600 zone.
Three months later (last week) I mosied on over to a local operation that has done some amazing work for me before. They quoted me a price of $300 (parts, labor and tax included). I agreed and they did the job within 4 hours. When I came back I drove off into the sunset, happy that I knew how to save money on car repairs. But soon I realized that there was a strange smell… kind of like propane. So the next day I went over to Pep Boys to get another coupon based oil change and have them check out the problem. After the diagnosis, they said that there was a hole in the newly welded area in back of the catalytic converter. So I drove on over to the local garage and you what? I treated them like real professionals. Through the shop's English interpreter (they all spoke Spanish) I said that they are really talented at what they do and I love how they can take parts from here and there and just weld them in. I said it would be extremely helpful if they could fix the problem. They gladly agreed and while I was waiting I asked the desk guy if the mechanic could replace my unreliable battery and change the seals above my oil gasket (I have an oil leak problem).
Well, it turns out that they were favorably predisposed towards me because of how I treated them. And they gave me a quote for $50 in labor to weld on a muffler that I could bring in myself (which would make the cost cheaper). They then gave me a reasonable seal change quote that was about $350 cheaper than it would have been at Pep Boys. Next they directed me to go to Autozone to buy a battery because Autozone installs batteries for free. The guys in the hispanic shop respected me so they felt bad about charging me labor for the installation.
When I went to Autozone, they wanted to charge me $114 for a new battery. No way I say! I'm not going to pay that for a battery that's specifically designed for my Honda. I was determined to save save money on car repairs so the desk guy directed me to go to a nearby shop that sells generic batteries. It took me 30 minutes to find the place because they were so hidden, but I was surprised to hear that they would charge me only $60 for the battery with the installation fee included. Woah! What a difference in price. And there's no difference in performance between that battery and a custom made one.
I think the best lesson here concerning how to save money on car repairs is that treating people the right way yields positive results. Also, if you walk into the car repair shop with the heaviness of the world on your shoulders, you're going to get a bad deal for sure. It amazes me how intelligent and educated consumers don't know how to carry themselves and deal with people. I believe they get the worst out of life because of it.

Why do we do the things we do? More specifically, why do I do the things I do, or sign up for what I sign up for, or take on what I take on? On my drive into the office this morning, I counted through five things that need my serious attention right now - and oh yeah, the family, kids, soccer practice, helping with laundry, and then some. I've got a busy life right now, and my wife has a busy life right now, and my brother has a busy life right now, and you probably have a busy life right now. Why do we do what we do?
There's the motivation of pleasing people. I know that I've got some of that in me, not necessarily in the normal bad way where I judge my self-worth by what others think. My shortcoming there is more along the lines of taking care of something so you won't have to worry about it. I'll take on a task so it'll get done and you can focus on something else. Part of it is that I would rather get rid of the things I know I can do, leaving you as the interested other party free to do what I can't help you with. Make sense?
Of course there's financial gain. Staying employed is a big motivator for most of us, so we try to do a good job, try to do as much extra as we can without being overburdened. But the stress comes when projects and people start to press against us in different directions. That's probably my biggest blockage, and it takes time to unravel the strands, get things done, meet the proper deadlines and move on. Time, I have to keep reminding myself that this too shall pass.
I think there's a pressure to "be all we can be" by showing how mature we are or how dedicated we are. I've got two main jobs at church, and I have no room to take on more. That's ok - "just say no" should have a prominent spot in anyone's phraseology. In the "this too shall pass" category, the pressures aren't so bad, and there are time limits and constraints that will move the tasks forward as long as I keep things prioritized and moving, right?
Being a good husband and father motivates me, so I hope I'm doing okay on that front. They get caught up in my whirlwind, too, and I get caught up in theirs. That's what families do - swirl around together through schedules and bedtimes and bathtimes and homework and practice and breakfast and all that jazz. But we're in this together - and if there's any thread through all of these motivations, it's that together is a good thing. Being with people, working through challenges and starting and ending projects and getting through crises and sharing the spoils of victory - all that is much better together.
Hermits have no motivation. That's why they're hermits. And why they don't bathe. But I digress.

How South Korean students make decision for choosing master course abroad
The primary objective of this research was to examine the choice factors that prospective South Korean students considered in choosing their master courses abroad, as well as the source of information employed in the decision making process. A non-probability convenience sample of 150 international students from 10 higher institutions abroad took part in the study. Data was obtained through questionnaires, which were distributed to the participants through their email addresses. The data obtained was analyzed through percentages and put in tables. The observations of the research suggest that job outcomes and prospects, parental influence and academic reputation ranked the highest significant choice factors. Beauty of the campus, co-curricular activities and the institution's website rankings were the least significant choice factors. The internet was ranked the most useful source of information for potential students. Friends and institutional publications ranked the least used sources of information. 1.0 Introduction Internationally, higher education is experiencing significant changes, including the generation of partnerships (Newby, 2003), increased concentration on the universal market (Kwong 2000), and increased competition (Ehrenberg et al, 2006). ...

Wow. I had been searching for a backpack that I liked for months. This one caught my eye, I looked at the specs and I knew I had to have it. I really needed one that would carry my 17 Unibody Macbook Pro, and this did the job. Pros: Solid construction. Lots of metal; more for aesthetics than functionality. The metal clips are really cool. Tons of space; I am the type to load my backpack up with a survival kit. The looks; back to the metal, this is the coolest looking backpack I've ever had. Extras; all the metal on the backpack means it's good for clipping things (like a flashlight) on the outside. Cons: Loading; the top flap makes loading the backpack a little painful, you have to hold the flap open when loading it. In addition, though there is room, it takes a *little* bit of effort to put a 17" notebook into the notebook section, there's a divider there and the zipper blocks some of it off. Overall, this is a great backpack. The cons are small, and won't stop me from rating it at 5 stars all around. This is really the best backpack I've ever used.

Nice looking... that's about it. Just received this bag and I'm turning it around and sending it back. What a disappointment. No doubt, this bag looks cool... but for the price, I absolutely would have expected a more durable bag. Some other reviews will say it's durable, but trust me, it won't last. The inside material is even worse than the outside. I am trying to replace an old Clive backpack that would still last for awhile, but I've had it for 10 years and need a change. The material they used back then was way better and I'm going to have to do a lot more homework and research before I figure out what I want. If you aren't a heavy user, go for it... but if you are a road warrior like I am (I travel by plane weekly for work)... save your money and buy two of some cheaper bag. Also, I don't think there are enough pockets for small things like keys, gum, chapstick, etc... You'll end up losing your small stuff somewhere. The sunglass pocket on top would probably protect your shades, but I wouldn't leave my $100+ glasses in there... and the outside attracts lint like a dust rag. SERIOUSLY, save your money!

Present for son - My son very much loves this back pack! He lives at a dad house and a mom house ~so he is able to transport everything from house to house! He is 15 years old and 6'2 so this is a great size for him! It is comfortable to walk home from school and he looks so darn good with it on his back! I love all the pockets~ Perfect for transporting his Mac and Oakley sunglasses~ along with school books!

Love it - I bought the backpack for my boyfriend and he loves it! It is a great backpack, has a lot of room and great quality. The Zappos service, like always, was great. I got my order within one day of placing my order. Thanks for the excellent service!

Great Quality! First of all let me start by saying that Zappos exudes the best customer oriented business bar none. I ordered my Oakley bag free of shipping at 3:00pm PT and received it the very next day!!! Their service is the best I have ever encountered. As far as the bag, the quality of construction and compartmental space is the best I have owned, or seen ever. I have a 17" laptop that fits perfect and with unbelievable space to spare, highly recommended.

Great gift for teenager - Got this for my 16 year old son and he immediately loved it. Looks cool and it holds everything he needs for school and more. I wanted something that would last and take him through college and this fits the bill.

Tech Geek's and Urban Warrior perfect backpack - I love this backpack. I just got it today and it holds all of my books for school, workout shoes and clothes as well as my 17" laptop. The description says that it will fit up to a 15" notebook but if you go to the Oakley website you will get the real dimensions. The only thing I would have liked to see is more covered pockets like the ones under the front flap for more power bricks, cables, and what-not. But there is a good amount of space under the molded pockets under the flap to have loose things...I just like order to the chaos. :) One thing the pictures do not show is that there are molded pockets with covering flaps on both sides of the hip belt thingy. Well worth the money even though it is rather expensive but it should be the only backpack I will ever need no matter if I am at school or camping or whatever. A++++ I can carry all.

This is a great bag. It's big with a good number of compartments. The style is one of a kind. It's a vast improvement on the previous Icon2.0 that I owned. I hope that this bag will give me years of great use. The only bummer is the 90-day warranty. When you spend this much on a bag I think it should last a lifetime.

LOVE THIS BAG!!!!!!! Just got the bag from the box and I love it! Finally a bag that I can carry my computer and books in for school. I go between two major cities everyday and this is going to allow me to only need one bag instead of two. Buy this bag! It is worth every single penny.

If God would have designed a backpack... The backpack is much more attractive in person than in pictures, especially in black. The red pull strips look great on the black backpack, even though they look "weird" in pictures. The quality of the materials is great, and it's full of metal pieces that make it worth what it costs. The pockets are a lot bigger than what they look like in the pictures: the side pockets are huge, big enough to fit a water bottle. The bottom on the front is big too; it's not a little flap, it's a whole pocket where you can put an agenda, a pencil case, and a lot more. As for the bottom pocket, the watertight one, it's not just a little added pocket on the bottom. There's a big membrane that separates the main compartment from the bottom watertight one, so you can use just about all the main compartment space to put something wet in this bottom compartment, perfecto for a wet wetsuit after surfing. About comfort I must say that's its very comfortable. It rests perfectly on your shoulders, and the deep back panel lets your back breathe and ventilate on hot days. Another thing that isn't evident is the comfort of using the tie downs. It is quick and easy, and it doesn't require neither time or effort to attach them. There isn't really any evident defect on this backpack, and the only thing wired about it is the 3 month guarantee, because its quality is sufficient to give it a lifetime guarantee.

The best back pack - I have been using this product for about 3 months now, I have no problem with it. If you need to carry around your Laptop (15-17"), text books, some food, drinks, extra jackets.. Man~! That is it~!! I highly recommend this backpack. It is the best Oakley overall.

Pictures don't do justice - I just bought this backpack to replace my Icon 2.0 that I had for over a year, but was destroyed in a motorcycle accident. It just got sent to me. What an awesome backpack! Fits well, tons of storage, and looks great. Thought about getting the AP pack, but my insurance gave me a $200 limit, so I got the one with more space. I do a lot of international travel and for the money, I don't think that there is much better out there. Gregory packs are great, but nothing they make at this time can compare to this pack. My 15 inch iBook fits perfectly in it, too. The pack is really made well. I like it much more than my old Icon 2.0 and that bag rocked, too. It is a big bag, but not too oversized at all and is great for big trips or just everyday general use. I know it's a lot of money, but totally worth it. Quality and style cost bucks. Overall, I am very pleased. It's nice getting it here because it's tax free and gets shipped overnight for free.

The best I've ever used. I use a backpack every day to store my electronic gear, lunch, papers, etc. I commute via bus then walk several blocks to the office. Once in a while I'll have quite a heavy load and regular backpacks are rock hard and lay on the small of my back (ouch!). This backpack remains comfortable with any load and it contours to the body like a REAL backpack should. It has tons of storage space, security galore, and a rugged style that I have never seen in other packs. The latches on the front are very useful and extremely easy to use with the red pull tabs. I can't imagine ever having too much stuff to carry around in this pack. I'm sold on the Oakley Kitchen Sink Pack! Protect your stuff: This pack will attract attention because it is so good looking. Do yourself a favor and purchase a small lock for the "locking" tabs.

Spacious backpack with few drawbacks - This backpack looks good, but it carries incredibly well. It has more than enough room for all of your stuff and it is rare that a backpack has felt as natural on my back as this one has. It has sturdy construction and I've detected no quality problems (as I often do with other packs whose threads or other bindings seem to fray quickly). The only drawback to this pack is that it is sometimes awkward to get items in or out - if Oakley were to fix that, it would be without peer.

Nice bag - Thinking of spending the $ on this bag, but not sure if it is worth it? Here are some things to know. 1) Yes, it probably is a little overpriced. As with most Oakley products, you are spending a little more to get the "O" emblem. On the other hand, they make quality products, so at least you know you are getting something that will last. This bag is no exception. 2) It is better looking than in the picture. I think the amount of metal hooks, clips, etc.... is a little overkill, and probably contributes to the higher cost. But obviously most other reviewers seem to think these make it more attractive. 3) It is HUGE. If you are a small person, this will be too big for you. This may be a plus for you, but you should be aware that it is really big. Overall, I would recommend it. I've used it as a sports bag, and it works great to carry cleats, gloves, water bottles, etc... in it.

So, you're a world traveler, or just a student that needs to carry everything from a working office with peripherals, to leftover pizza and a canteen. The Oakley Kitchen Sink is what you need. I took mine on a two week jaunt to Japan. The pack made it easy to maneuver in and out of crowded trains, railway stations and taxis. And if you're loaded to the brim, the harness and straps are easy on the shoulders and back. I have traveled for 30 years all over the world and only wish I had purchased this unit sooner. Trust me, I won't travel without it again.

Beautifully designed backpack! It is rugged, spacious, mostly waterproof, incredibly durable, and best of all it's awesome! I use it as a school pack, also a snowboarding pack for day trips, and even bringing climbing sometimes, overall great bag and can be used for anything.

Absolutely love this thing. It can literally fit the whole kitchen sink. Great for stuffing my laptop and books with hardly any feeling of the bag being heavy. The weight distribution of the bag is flawless. Just yesterday packed the whole thing with my entire lunch box full of paints, paper towels, illustration boards, and water. Had no problem walking with it. The only gripe is the way in which everything zips open. All the zippers are situated to zip down so it can be awkward opening and closing, but this makes it a lot more secure than traditional backpacks. The side zipper for the laptop is super convenient also.

Our outstanding defender's knee injury forced him to miss the start of the Premiership season and playing in Ireland's World Cup qualifying triumph over Holland on Saturday.
With the cure for his problem simply rest, he's also had to do a lot of watching — something he admits he cannot stand.
But the rest seems to be working and Stephen has revealed that the problem has started to ease.
"It's calmed down a little bit," he said. "It's just time. The bone takes longer to heal than the muscle unfortunately. There is nothing more I can do apart from rest and hopefully it won't be too long."
Stephen says he is trying not to think about the dreaded 'o' word.
"I'm not thinking about operations," he added. "I've been told if I rest it, it will take a while, but if I rest it then it will be okay.
"There's not a lot you can do with a bone to let it calm down. Hopefully it will calm down and I won't have to go down the road of having an operation.
"Who knows though? At the start of the season I wouldn't have dreamt of missing the start because my fitness was great. Things happen for a reason I suppose. I'll continue to rest and see what happens."

So the big buzz today is that they have finally unveiled the silhouette of Godzilla for the new Netflix anime Godzilla: Monster Planet! Now I am super hyped for the new anime as it is something fairly new for our kaiju king, while also giving us something till Godzilla: King of the Monsters releases in 2019. Now what is probably most unexpected from this announcement is just how close the (new) Godzilla is to the Legendary version of the monster. From the dorsal plates, arms, and head shape down to the design for the legs.
I decided to do a little Photoshopping so that you can see the similarities of this to the SH MonsterArts 2014 for yourself. The only real difference is the size of the spines and skin texture. Now, you kinda have to take this with a grain of salt since this is only a silhouette shot and not necessarily what Godzilla is going to look like in the final product. It still is suprising though that they seem to be going with the american version of Godzilla, but then again it is getting released on Netflix which might be why the are somewhat catering to an stateside audience. Have to what and see what is going to come of this, but I will say this has me even more intrigued then I already am!

This report examines the strategies being adopted by, the opportunities for, and the risks facing, the ten largest banks in the world. It provides a detailed analysis of the top five's financial performance. It outlines key industry trends including capital adequacy, the rise of China's banks, regulatory action, changing banking technology, and the push for expansion beyond domestic boundaries.
Features and benefits
* Learn which are the ten largest banks in the world.
* Analyzes key banking industry trends and how the largest players are adapting to them.
* Offers a detailed analysis of the top five's recent financial performance and presents the financials of the next five in an easy to interpret format.
* Assesses the risks facing the world's largest banks and looks at what they are doing to manage them.
The banking industry has seen several years of solid growth in terms of total assets. Some geographies are showing a much stronger level of growth than others however. For example the banking industry in Asia-Pacific grew with a CAGR of 11.2% between 2009 and 2013, whereas Europe only recorded a CAGR of 0.7% for the same period.
Chinese banks are experiencing strong growth as the country's economy continues to grow. Of the world's ten largest banks, four are headquartered in China. If a larger sample is taken, the trend remains unchanged: 11 of the 50 largest banks in the world are registered in China. However, rising rates of non-performing loans are a growing concern.
Overseas expansion is a key trend in the global banking industry. In the case of Western European banks, this is an attempt to reduce the risks associated with concentration in mature, slow-growth markets. The increase in non-performing loan rates has convinced China's biggest banks that they cannot rely on the Chinese mainland.

Australia's $1.4 trillion superannuation sector has highlighted member transfer hiccups and communication breakdowns as possible roadblocks following the federal government's proposed Super Stream changes, industry observers say.
Part of the Stronger Super reforms, Super Stream is aimed at improving the "back office" of superannuation.
Some proposed measures include new data and e-commerce standards for super funds by July 2013, and using tax file numbers to locate member accounts and boost account consolidation.
Super funds spoken to by The Australian Financial Review largely welcomed and supported the reform, but some flagged concerns and potential implementation problems.
A simple but serious issue is communicating the changes with employers and making sure they are compliant in the new environment.
"We plan a specific engagement program with our employers, and [will] probably deal with the larger employers individually and smaller employers through bulk communication," he said.
But there are many links in the communication chain. Mr Hill said it would take a concerted effort by the government and entire super industry to ensure employers understood the reforms and could meet their requirements.
Shawn Blackmore, general manager operations at the $42 billion AustralianSuper, said the fund was hoping to ease employers into the new environment through e-commerce and simpler administration.
Over the past two years, the fund has been increasing its e-commerce services, including member transfers and rollovers. It has also been working with its administrator Superpartners to overhaul its administration system.
"We're working closely to make sure that's [built] on an open architecture. You have to ensure your technology is able to adapt quickly – otherwise you'll be spending a lot of money to put patches on legacy systems," he said.
Peter Beck, chief executive of Pillar Administration, flagged the proposed reforms on standards as a significant issue.
"Just defining the standard is one part of the parcel. [It's] useful, but it shouldn't be mandated that everyone should use the same data standard.
"If the government mandates data standards, the unintended consequence is all those automated processes that are already in place will have to be changed – what should have been mandated is electronic interchange," he said.
The governance of the standards was another area of concern.
Mr Beck drew on the example of the Australian Payments Clearing Association, the principal self-regulatory body for Australia's payments industry, and said the super sector needed "an APCA equivalent".
"You need a body that's going to put in place the protocol, to make electronic interchange a reality."
One of the most significant reforms in the Stronger Super package is the introduction of a no-frills default fund called MySuper for disengaged members. A key challenge could come from moving these members, particularly in default retail super funds, to MySuper products.
Some retail funds have advice commissions – banned in the government's proposed MySuper products – embedded in their default offerings.
"That's where it's got to be unbundled. You have until 2017 to move those [members]," Mr Beck said.
But retail funds are not standing by awaiting the changes.
Funds such as Aon Master Trust have moved to position its business to fit the new business environment.
Peter Lewis, principal and head of retirement products at Aon Hewitt, said the firm had been providing a fee for service offering since the end of 2010.
Aon has also been exploring options for developing a MySuper product in the past 12 months.
"We have a flexible approach," Mr Lewis said.
"Until you actually see the detail it's hard to go down a decisive path. We've already broadly identified the architecture we'll adopt."
Mr Lewis said the fund also had a high level of engagement by members, which means the portion of members that may fall into the MySuper category could be small, and the transition process uncomplicated.
Alan Hansell, adviser at Intelligent Business Research Services, said trustees who decided to set up MySuper products would need to design business processes and automate them quickly so new employees could take advantage of the benefits in the new standards.
But the process might not be cheap or easy. Trustees needed to create management reporting systems to facilitate performance benchmarking by the regulators, and be able to convince them they were optimising the member's financial interests.
"These requirements are an added administrative burden for trustees who will need to be able to justify the costs of setting up and compliance of MySuper to the regulators," Mr Hansell said.

Xingping Village
The town of Xingping is a delightful and well preserved little village with some buildings surviving from the Ming Dynasty. With the peaks rising all around, Xingping is an exceedingly photogenic place. You'll find yourself snapping away at every alley you turn down. Indeed, the scene of the Li River that can be seen from here graces the ¥20 note. There is a 200m (1159 steps) peak you can climb for even better views. You can also do a further excursion to an ancient fishing village about 4km further south. It might be an idea to take the tour from This Old Place Cafe so as to have transport back. There are a couple of accommodation options in Xingping as well if you want to stay overnight.
Xingping can be visited for just a few hours or you might even want to base yourself there for a few days. Xingping seems destined to become more and more popular as visitors try to get away from the tourist hordes of Yangshuo in search of more serene surrounds.
Directions: Mini-buses to Xingping (兴坪) leave from the Yangshuo bus station (look for the Chinese characters on the sign on the dashboard or ask). The trip costs ¥5.5 and takes about 45 minutes. The last bus back to Yangshuo leaves at 7pm.

#SlavesAreNotImmigrants Why Ben Carson is wrong
"That's what America is about, a land of dreams and opportunity," Carson said. "There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less. But they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, great-granddaughters, might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land."

In 1978, when Edward Said, published Orientalism, the West was close to the end of a period of nostalgic interest into the Middle Eastern Culture. There was a recongized view of Orientalism and all it implies. But there is also a reverse, the way the East looks at the West. J. Carrier published in 1995 Occidentalism. A positive interpretation of Occidentalism is fruitful in Architecture. We have experimented with this approach with the class of students of the Architecture Department, 3rd year, of Kuwait University. The problem presented was an urban design theme, focused on the redesign of a piece of a dense built area in Florence. The students offered a range of varied proposals giving the project their interpretation of Italianity. Additional consideration has to be given to the fact that they didn't visit the city, so their knowledge of the site is absorbed through their instructors and the information they got from different sources, not last Google Earth.

Business credit cards certainly are handy to have. They provide business owners with a flexible source of operating capital, make doing business online possible, provide a way to build business credit, and make tracking business expenses for tax purposes a simple matter. Of course, all that convenience comes with a cost, and some credit cards are more costly to use than others. Business credit cards are not covered by the CARD Act, so business owners should play close attention to the fine print when applying for them. What types of fees should they look out for?
Minimum Interest Fee
If your business credit card has a minimum interest fee, you will be charged a minimum amount, even if the interest on your credit card balance is less than the fee itself. The fee does not usually amount to much, but it still rubs many business owners the wrong way. It can be avoided by not carrying a balance from month to month.
Annual Fees
There are some business credit cards that have no annual fee, but many do. Before signing up for a credit card, business owners should make sure they know how much the annual fee is, so it does not surprise them when they are charged. Some credit cards with fees are worth having, but the annual fee should be taken into consideration when evaluating any business credit card's terms.
Foreign Transaction Fees
If the nature of your business dictates that you frequently travel abroad, you should pay special attention to this fee. At around 3%, this fee might not seem like much, but it can add up, especially on larger purchases.
Cash Advance Fees
Using a business credit card's cash advance feature is much more costly than simply using it to make purchases. There is usually a fee of up to 5% of the total amount of the cash advance, and the interest rates are usually higher, as well. Not only that, but because the CARD Act does not apply to business credit cards, card issuers are free to make future payments apply to the lower-interest portion of the balance, leaving the cash-advance portion to accrue interest at a higher rate.
Balance Transfer Fees
One enticing benefit that credit card issuers use to entice borrowers is the low or zero-interest balance transfer. Many times, taking advantage of these incentives can save business owners thousands of dollars. But, it is important to be wary of balance transfer fees, as they can be substantial. Also, some cards may have late-payment penalties that cause the introductory rate to be rescinded.

A quick self portrait sketch. I might work on it a little more, but I really like it unfinished.
A quick self portrait sketch. I might work on it a little more, but I really like it unfinished.
In order to motivate myself to do more art, I signed up for a comic book making class. The class is not purely about art, but also script writing, story development, image editing, lettering…basically the whole shebang. It's 6 weeks long and the main goal is to tell a story in about 16 panels which will be made into a professional looking (hopefully) comic book.
So far the course is pretty interesting. This week we were discussing comic book ideas and what makes a story good. Next week we'll learn about script writing. Today however, I've actually learned something about myself: I don't draw as good under time restrictions (and timers make me nervous)! Don't get me wrong, I completed plenty of paintings and drawings under various deadlines, but today I felt like I was put on the spot. Ready, set, draw!
Our first art assignment was to sketch something in 5 minutes. To ensure there was no cheating we were timed (with an egg timer!). It did not matter what was sketched as long as it fit in the 5 minute time span, because once the buzzer went off all pencils went down. I've noticed that the buzzer ticking away made me a little nervous, and before I decided if I was sketching a girl or a boy (although the picture came out more girly) time was up. The 5 minute sketch, in my case, has proven to be a little challenging, the drawing is not as clean or proportional as I'd like it to be. However, considering the time restriction I don't think I did all that badly. I even tried to smudge some shadows around the cheeks with my finger. I think I'll keep practicing 5 minute sketches, but I'll probably use my phone and keep away from egg timers for a while. 😉
A quick doodle inspired by Fiona Staples illustration work in the comic book series "Saga". I've sketched this one out while reading the comic, however the drawing does not represent any of the characters in the book (although she kind of reminds me of Alana -the female lead in the series).
Do you ever feel "empty"? Like there is a massive hole in your chest that nothing can fill? I sometimes do. It's such a strange feeling, that I can't even properly describe it in words.
So, I've decided to illustrate it instead.
I've actually used images of Superman as my "chest" reference. 😉 The void itself is painted in watercolors. The rest is pencils and some chalk pastels. I'm quite happy with the result, especially since I never really draw such portraits-usually it's just the face.
