What is a committee meeting and why do we need them?
Before we consider what a committee meeting is, why we need them and how to run a committee meeting effectively we should quickly reflect on what a club committee is, its roles and responsibilities.
A committee is the group of people, elected according to the rules of the club, to run the club on behalf of the members. Many people often underestimate the responsibilities of the committee which include (but certainly not limited too):
- Comply with all legislation, especially:
- Association Incorporation legislation
- Member protection, welfare and safety
- Fund-raising legislation
- Food handling legislation
- Liquor licensing laws
- Ensure the club is run according to its rules (constitution), purpose, policies and procedures.
- Oversee the financial affairs of the club, ensuring the club stays solvent (which simply means being able to pay your clubs bills as and when they become due).
- Ensure the sustainability of the club most people link club sustainability simply to financial sustainability but it also relates to ensuring the club has a sustainable number of participants and volunteers, access to suitable facilities as and when you need them (both for social activities and sport participation) and often overlooked but vitally important is community support.
- Define and deliver the club's objectives and strategic plan
- Create and manage a risk management plan that minimises risks associated with club all club activities, not just the sporting risks
- Create your club culture and ensure expectations are meet
- Ensuring the sporting, competitive and social needs of members are met
- Recruiting, empowering, recognising, rewarding and maintaining club volunteers
- Creating and implementing a succession plan for all roles within the club, ensuring that the next generation of volunteers are being identified, developed and trained
- Regularly communicate with club members
- Collect, protect, maintain and hand over critical club information from one year to the next
Why have committee meetings?
The obvious reason is because, most if not all, club rules/constitutions require the committee to meet and discuss the affairs of the club a certain number of times a year. So the starting point in learning how to run effective committee meetings is to ensure you understand the responsibilities defined in your club rules/constitution about committee meetings.
The more practical reason is that effective groups of people, in this case a committee, will generally achieve far more than the same people working individually.
The trick is how do you get your committee to function effectively and productively and ensuring your committee meetings don't become unproductive and a huge waste of time?

Growing Conditions:
Light: Bright, full sun in an open area.Water: Better to underwater than overwater. Wait for soil to dry before watering again.Temperature: They suffer below 60ºF. Best to keep the temperature 75ºF or higher.Soil: Rich, loose potting media. Make sure is has enough drainageFertilizer: Slightly alkaline soil with a pH between 6.7 and 7.3. To Grow:Set out plants 12 to 18 inches apart in an open area with full sun and good air circulation. Plant lavender in well-drained, slightly alkaline soil with a pH between 6.7 and 7.3. You can add builder's sand to the soil before planting to increase drainage, which is vital because lavender will not tolerate excessive soil moisture or humidity. To further improve drainage, plant lavender in a raised bed, along a wall, or near the top of a slope. In an herb or perennial bed, ensure good drainage by planting lavender on a small mound. When there is a lot of heat and humidity, fungus can attack the plants, turning the leaves brown. To minimize the chance of having such a problem, mulch with pebbles or sprinkle sand around the base of the plant for faster evaporation. If you cut the blooms, trim in a way that thins the plant a bit, leaving it open for better air circulation.

The situation in the southern provinces is no less difficult than the northern provinces, although the siege and war does not threaten the southern provinces, but the situation in the south because of the presence of invading forces and terrorist elements is witnessing a major security chaos, especially after the isolation of Zubaidi, Where observers see that the isolation of the governor of Aden, "Zubaidi" from his post was the first step to divide Yemen, where after the isolation of the Council formed the southern transition, which calls for the separation of the south.
This move was previously studied, and then the start of the current crisis, ie the Saudi-America dispute on the one hand and Qatar on the other hand, according to the information, the UAE and the Saudis have no confidence in the Muslim Brotherhood in the battlefields, and Eidros Al-Zubaidi, the prohibition of the Muslim Brotherhood in areas of influence The force represented by Zubaidi, one of the currents calculated on the southern movement demanding the independence of the south.
The most important of these indicators is that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have implemented a new plan in Yemen to support the interests of the US and the formation of a new terrorist organization in southern Yemen with a new name. In this context, a military intelligence source in Yemen told the news agency "NTHNEWS States after a failed failure In Syria and Iraq, an organization was restructured under other names in southern Yemen, Libya and Jordan.
Against the backdrop of the Gulf crisis in a new division, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates decided to control the areas controlled by the Brotherhood belonging to Qatar, ie, the Yemeni Rally for Reform, the Yemeni branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Therefore, Zubaidi was chosen to carry out this task, Zubaidi received great promises by the United States and Saudi Arabia in the new government and after the division of Yemen into various regions, according to information.
In conclusion, Zubaidi was one of the tools chosen by the administration of the war of aggression, and this strategy came after their failure in the fields of fighting and political, which lasted more than 27 months.

How to Create a Bird-Friendly Garden This WinterNovember 23, 2018
Last modified: November 23, 2018With just a few simple alterations, you can create a bird-friendly garden and be able to support wildlife before the worst of the weather hits.
DIY, Garden
How to Create a Bird-Friendly Garden This Winter
Birds can benefit from your gardens all year round, but did you know winter is the best time to provide them with extra food and shelter?
As the colder months approach, Brits are encouraged to support the needs of our winged friends this winter by creating a bird-friendly garden.
Even if you're not an avid bird-watcher, you can surely appreciate the beauty of these creatures visiting your garden once in a while.
With just a few simple alterations, you can create a bird-friendly garden and be able to support wildlife before the worst of the weather hits.
Birds can survive and thrive throughout any weather, but you can easily contribute to keeping them even more safe and sound.
From providing fatty food and adequate cover in foliage to allowing bushes to overgrow, you can effortlessly lend a helping hand to keep the birds alive this winter.
Follow these simple steps to encourage birds to visit your garden this winter and keep them coming back all year round!
1. Keep Them Fed
Garden birds can't talk, but we bet they will be thankful if you leave food outside for them throughout the year. Especially in the colder months as birds are required to hunt for food when the temperature drops as they have to keep their bodies warm.
One thing you can do is to choose food that is high in fat to help the birds stave off the cold. Make sure to replenish supplies regularly especially during the colder months, as they may come more often to depend on human supply.
Neglecting to fill up feeders or leaving something for the birds for a long time in the winter can put their health at risk. However, excessive amounts of food left outside can attract pests so make sure to provide just enough.
Specialised fat blocks, designed with birds in mind, can be placed in wire cages or they can be prepared at home with suet and an appropriately holed mould.
Seeds, nuts, grains or pre-made bird mixes are also some of the tasty treats that can help birds maintain a balanced diet over the colder months.
Aside from that, bacon rind, cheese, uncooked fruit – even cake and other kitchen leftovers – can also provide extra nourishment for a range of garden birds during winter scarcity.
You can also plant winter-flowering bushes or trees, such as ivy for new year fruit, which can act as an extra special source of nutrients, and have grateful birds frequently flocking to your garden.
2. Help Them Shelter
Garden birds aren't difficult to take care of. By keeping your hedges, trees, and other shrubs well-maintained, you can already provide them with a precious safe haven from predators. This can also serve as a place for them to rest or build a nest.
With this, you shouldn't be afraid to allow the odd bushes to become overgrown or somewhat wild during winter as it will provide a useful habitat for birds.
Sturdy wooden bird boxes, also known as nest boxes, will also be very helpful to many birds as the temperature drops because their natural shelter becomes sparse. These can either be free standing or attached to fences or trees.
The simple structure can also serve as a great breeding ground for birds when the weather starts to warm up.
3. Let Them Drink
Just like humans, birds also need water in order to survive. If a small pond doesn't fit in your garden environment small pond, you can instead provide a water feature, a birdbath, or even just a small bowl or dish.
Make sure to frequently fill it with fresh water to give birds a vital source of clean and safe hydration. Providing water to garden birds is even more critical when the temperature starts to drop below zero, and local natural sources of water begin to freeze over. They will surely lose their access to any freshwater outdoors.
In addition, it's also important to keep the container for water supply to avoid bacteria growth and prevent them from harming any thirsty creatures that may visit your garden.

New Delhi. In an incident that is sure to raise eyebrows, a candidate appearing for an interview for the post of Assistant Professor at the prestigious 'Indian Institute of Science, Technology, Engineering, Management and Arts (IISTEMA), New Delhi suffered a heart attack during the interview.
Dr. Amit Kumar (name changed on request) who has a Ph.D in Organic Chemistry from a premier institute in India and four years of post-doctoral experience in US, had appeared for the said interview, but ten minutes into the interview he had to be rushed to AIIMS, where he is now recovering and is reported to be stable.
He spoke exclusively to Faking News (FN) correspondent. Dr. Amit said, "I had come to the interview expecting it to be similar to my other experiences. Based on my prior experience, I had prepared for Chemistry problems of practical significance like, 'Whose Chemistry is better; Ranveer-Deepika or Ranbir-Deepika (both on screen and off screen)'? But instead of delving into such important questions that the layman faces, they straight away took my thesis into hand and started asking questions related to it!"
"I fumbled initially as I had not at all expected it but got back on my feet and tried to answer them as well as I could. However, after some time I started sweating, felt an acute pain emanating from my left arm and then I fainted. When I opened my eyes I found myself on this bed," Amit recalled.
The HRD ministry has taken cognizance of the incident and stepped in swiftly. The ministry announced that it has already constituted a 3 member committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to look into the suspicious and rare incident. The ministry wants to know if there was any vested interest involved that the institute went against the grain and held the interview in such a condemnably efficient and transparent way.
The committee will also investigate why the due recruitment process was not followed wherein, the candidate is identified first, an interview panel is constituted comprised of friends of the candidate's Ph.D supervisor, as few as possible candidates are shortlisted, and the whole farce is executed to perfection.
The ministry in a strongly worded letter to all major institutes has conveyed that it will not tolerate any compromises with its glorious tradition of favouritism and nepotism. To send out a strong signal and as a deterrent measure the concerned panel members have been debarred from being on any other panel till the investigating committee gives them a clean chit.
The letter by the HRD ministry to these institutes (FN accessed a copy of the letter) further states that these institutes are duty-bound to maintain the age-old culture of carelessness, arrogance and indifference. To this end, some specific actions expected, vis-a-vis the recruitment-process, are as follows:
The recruitment cell must ensure that the first person to enter the office removes the receiver and keeps it aside so that the candidates who call to enquire about the status should be able to hear the soothing engaged tone. Just in case, by mistake, if the receiver is in its place, the phone rings and is picked up, saying anything else other than the standard reply, "nahi ji, usko to aur 2-4 mahine lagenge. Yeh baar baar phone mat karo" will be considered dereliction of duty and adverse remarks will be written on the CR of concerned employee.
Also, the email address created specifically for that recruitment should never be logged into once created, and all mails written to that email address should disappear into a black hole.
Eminent educationists and scientists have hailed the ministry for its swift response. They believe, with such sincere efforts on part of government, India is sure to become a science and technology superpower and these institutes will become centers of excellence the world can look up to.

It all starts with an idea.
Though I did not know it at the time – sitting in that small intimate space underneath a buzzing brunch cafe, flipping through paper magazines and cutting out a single particular image, the exact below – it was about to be the start of an epic journey.
Surrounded by a lively group of young aspiring women, I was participating in a good friend's first business/career coaching workshop to set our goals and "purposeful desires". It was the start of process that would see me picking up my life to move to London around 6 months later, survive a whirlwind year and kick off a plan to my next adventure- taking a career "pause" to embark on my South America solo trip in less than 2 months from now. Yes! I am slightly terrified!
This blog is for my dear friends, family, and fellow aspirational travellers, to let you follow my adventure and hopefully inspire you along the way.

Without donations over the next month, Cambodian employees of the the Khmer Rouge court could be working for free
Monks outside the ECCC courtroom where prison chief Kaing Guek Eav, better known as Duch, appeared Tuesday.
DONOR countries to the Khmer Rouge tribunal have commended the war crimes court for beginning its first trial on Tuesday, a step it claims moves Cambodia much closer to achieving justice and national reconciliation.
But as congratulatory messages flood in, donors remain silent on further pledges to the financially troubled chambers, failing to allay fears by officials that the court's Cambodian side looks set to become bankrupt by the end of the month.
In a press statement Wednesday, the French Foreign and European Affairs Ministry said they would continue to support the tribunal, but made no further pledges.
"France welcomes the starting of the first initial hearing at ECCC, a fruit of cooperation between Cambodian and international justice," it said.
According to a report released last week by court monitor Open Society Justice Initiative, the Cambodian side of the court could be bankrupt in a matter of weeks, despite recent donations.
Court officials Thursday confirmed this.
"We may not have any money to run the court next month," court spokesman Reach Sambath told the Post.
We may not have enough money to run the court next month.
According to the court's revised 2005 budget, the court needs an additional US$44.1 million on top of an original estimate of $56.3 million to see the court through to the end of 2009. This is allocated as $38 million to the United Nations to be raised by donor contributions, and $5.8 million to the Cambodian side of the court to be raised by the Cambodian government.
Congratulations, but no cash
The court's largest donor, Japan, also commended the court's achievements, but did not indicate any further pledges.
"Japan heartily welcomes the holding of the initial hearing of the Khmer Rouge tribunal," a press release from Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Tuesday.
Raising additional funds for the court has long been a problem for the court, in part because of its failure to address concerns about corruption and independence, the OSJI report said.
This led the UN Development Program, which was administering donor funds to the Cambodian side of the court, to freeze funding last July.
"It will be difficult for some staff because they need a salary to support their daily life, but this is not new to us," Reach Sambath said, referring to a two-month period after the funding freeze last year in which employees worked unpaid.
"We trust our staff's commitment to keep working ... but I don't think the international side can support the running of the court [for long]," he added.

Dear Parent
We have been sharing our concern repeatedly about safe transportation for all children to and from home to school. The same was stated in the last circular sent on 18th August 2018 asking for the undertaking cum declaration for the same.
Please note that there is strict order by the Hon'ble Supreme Court for the private cabs being used to ferry students of their schools, especially in cases where such private vans/cabs (hired by parents) are to mandatorily follow the guidelines mentioned below. School authorities shall check these vans for compliance of the same and in case of non compliance, the same shall be reported to the concerned authorities.
1. Ensure the van/cab is registered with Transport Department under the School Cab Scheme of the Private Motor Registration Act.
2. To ensure safety of children, the vehicle registered under the scheme should be equipped with safety features including speed governors, GPRS devices, Fire Extinguisher and a First Aid Box.
3. The dropping time for children using private cabs is not earlier than 15 minutes before school starts.
4. Parents should provide private bus/ van/ cab driver's verification to School if not submitted already.
5. Parents should ensure that there is a lady attendant/mother-volunteer always present in the van.
6. That the maximum number of children in the van is limited as per norms based on type of vehicle.
7. There must be no use of illegal/over loaded vehicles for transporting of their school going children.
8. Parents to give prior intimation to the school regarding any change of driver / vehicle .
9. In case of all vehicles hired by parents, the drivers' character and antecedent verification is to be provided to the school by the parents.
It has also been observed that, as per the convenience of the van drivers, the children are dropped off outside the School gate well before time in the morning as well as at an undue distance from the gate.
Parents are advised to monitor the drivers deployed personally, to ensure the safety of the children.
These guidelines have been shared with you as per the safety norms issued by the Transport Department and the Directorate of Education.

Patrick Pheasant is the CEO of NEAS, a global leader in quality assurance for the English language teaching (ELT) sector. An avid proponent of drama in the classroom, we sat down with Partick to talk about the benefits of role play in ELT and the power of drama in the classroom.
As the education sector shifts back to a focus on doing, as opposed to only memorising, drama is once again finding a place in the classroom.
The growing appreciation of drama in the classroom has excited NEAS CEO, Patrick Pheasant.
"Drama is not used by all teachers," he pointed out. "But, there's still a large contingent who use role play as well as other drama techniques such as improvisation, language games and warm-ups."
"Role play and other elements of drama can help break down boundaries, create safe spaces and allow students to experiment with language they wouldn't usually use."
The Occupational English Test uses role play to assess speaking skills, instead of structured interviews found in general or academic tests. We sat down with Patrick to think about the benefits of role play and why it is a better way to test the language proficiency of healthcare professionals.
Drama, role play and pedagogy
Patrick is a firm believer that drama when used in both education and English language testing can deliver additional value to students and candidates.
"Using role play and drama alongside traditional teaching approaches offer individuals several benefits,'" he said. "Principally, it introduces a level of spontaneity that reflects real-life environments, where speakers need to respond quickly to evolving conversations and social interactions."
During his role at NEAS, Patrick completed a PhD that explored the benefits of drama in the classroom.
"My PhD research looked at the power of drama in educational spaces," Patrick said. "In a classroom of 12, I developed a scenario where students would role play as Victorian Londoners embarking on a journey to discover gold in Australia."
The participant-learners were able to connect to the characters because the scenario drew analogies with their real life, reflecting their own journey in Australia.
"The students grasp of English strengthened when they were in character," he said. "They were much more comfortable taking risks in character."
"The scenario helped create a safe space for them to experiment and try out the new language without the threat of embarrassment."
Role play in English language testing
Alongside English language teaching, role play is beneficial in the assessment vertical as well.
"I get really excited when I think about a test that uses role play," Patrick said.
"In the same way role play exposes English language learners to spontaneity, it's an effective way to test whether an English speaker can adapt to new situations."
This is particularly important in the healthcare sector, where doctors, nurses and other healthcare workers need to be able to deal with change and evolving conversations.
"Using role play in testing can measure critical thinking and the application of the language," he said. "Roleplaying allows you to throw obstacles into a speakers path and see how they react to uncertainty and change."
With a background in English language teaching, educational drama and occupational therapy, Patrick also highlighted the connection with healthcare training, where role play is used extensively.
"I've seen how it's used in occupational therapy training, and the reasons and outcomes for using it are the same," he said.
"If doctors, nurses or occupational therapists aren't tested on how to apply their knowledge and skill in new situations, then they may not ready to be in the healthcare sector."
A balanced approach
NEAS provides a quality assurance framework that establishes and maintains high standards of the English Language Teaching (ELT) industry. The NEAS QA Framework covers seven key areas, including Teaching, Learning and Assessment.
"Part of NEAS' framework looks at whether providers have chosen the techniques and pedagogy that best suit the needs of their students," Patrick said.
"Diversity and appropriateness are important. If a provider or assessment tool focuses too much on one technique it can isolate and alienate students who don't respond well."
Using drama correctly means ensuring the elements, such as role play, are not isolated from other teaching techniques. It should play a part in a larger whole in ELT and English language assessment.
"So, when you look at OET's structure, it's used in the Speaking sub-test – one of four sub-tests," he said. "Role play is supported by the other English testing techniques that can be found in OET."
Drama and role play offer several benefits to students and test-takers as well as employers and regulatory bodies. As teachers become more comfortable with drama techniques, the expectation is to see them become more common across the ELT landscape.
With over 30 years of pedigree, OET has firmly established role play in the assessment sector. If you would like to know more about how OET uses role play, contact us today.
Patrick is running Drama in ESL Workshops around the country, helping teachers and preparation providers build confidence using drama in the classroom. For more information on this NEAS Quality Learning Series, you contact NEAS today at www.neas.org.au.

As if choosing ingredients for a delicate dish, writer Cecilia Manguerra Brainard and publisher Marily Ysip Orosa went through a meticulous selection process for their short story collection.
They sent out press releases and invitations through the Internet, reaching Filipino writers abroad.
"We first selected 12 stories. We were surprised because they were very serious. I realized that food brings up memories about families and relations and sometimes these relations can be very complex," Ms. Brainard said in an interview.
When the first batch turned out to be serious stories coming mostly from female writers, Ms. Brainard said she encouranged more male writers to send their stories.
"I was really looking for stories with good, strong character development. And of course, they had to fit the theme. I have no compuctions about rejecting work that doesn't fit. Name does not sway me. They know it's not personal," Ms. Brainard said.
The stories came in not just from Manila but also from Dumaguete, Cebu, Davao, Chicago, Singapore, Hawaii, and San Francisco.
Hence, the book, A La Carte: Food and Fiction, is a feast of Filipino tales coming from different perspectives.
Like a full menu, A La Carte first offers breads, appetizers and salad, followed by soup, rice and main dishes. Stories inspired by desserts come in last.
The stories kick off with an easy read, a short autobiographical account by Edna Weisser who serves classic Pinoy snacks with the German flair in "Merienda Alemania."
Like warm and rich soup served on a cold and rainy day, Susan Evangelista's "Pumpkin Soup" and Nadine Sarreal's "No Salt" offer heart-warming tales revolving on love, grief, comfort and understanding.
Carlos Cortes tells about his fondness for puso in his story "Hanging Rice" and his first trip to Manila where the handy packet of rice wrapped in woven coconut leaves does not exist.
The collection also includes a cute romantic tale of a man who falls in love with the waitress who serves his chicken inasal in Ian Rosales Casocot's "Pedro and the Chickens."
With food and family being associated most of the time, A La Carte also has stories that involve abuses within members of the family, as found in "Two Drifters" by Veronica Montes, "The Fish" by Reine Arcache Melvin and "Kitchen Secrets" by Shirlie Mae Mamaril Choe.
Getting inspiration from Laura Esquivel's Like Water for Chocolate, A La Carte has included recipes to go hand-in-hand with the stories in the collection.
This is a nice value-added touch for lovers of literature and culinary arts. After all, one might just be inspired to make traditional Filipino favorites like pork adobo after reading Dean Francis Alfar's "Sabados Con Fray Villalobos" or lumpia after Jose Dalisay Jr.'s "Wok Man."

Allopurinol Shown to be Renal Protective Save
Neogi and colleagues have shown that standard doses of allopurinol (300 mg/day) were associated with a 13% lower risk of renal function deterioration in chronic gout patients - thus, allopurinol does not appear to impair renal function over time.
Historically, it has been claimed that allopurinol should be dose-adjusted in patients with renal insufficiency, implying that the drug may lend to renal impairment in susceptible individuals.
Researchers used a UK population for a prospective cohort study of newly diagnosed gout patients initiating allopurinol (≥300 mg/d) compared to those who did not initiate allopurinol. Thus, adults with newly diagnosed gout were propensity matched: 4760 initiators of allopurinol (≥300 mg/d) vs. the same number of noninitiators of allopurinol. Patients with chronic kidney disease stage 3 or higher or prior urate-lowering therapy were excluded.
Patients had a mean follow-up time of 4-5 years, mean age of 57 years, and mean body mass index 30.
Amongst these patients, chronic kidney disease stage 3 or higher was seen in 11.1% of allopurinol initiators and 13.1% of non-users.
Allopurinol (≥300 mg/d) was associated with a 13% lower risk of developing developing chronic kidney disease stage 3 or higher compared with nonusers (hazard ratio (HR) 0.87; 95% CI, 0.77-0.97). Doses lower than 300 mg/d were not associated with protection against stage >3 CKD (HR, 1.00; 95% CI, 0.91-1.09).
Allopurinol dosed at 300 mg/d or higher was associated with a lower risk of renal function deterioration.

UX Research Topics
Field Guide
May 16, 2018
You shared your top humorous (and horrific) stories from the field, we gave you prizes and wrote about it.
Erin May
Last week, we attended the UXPA Boston event. It was pretty awesome for a few reasons. To wit:
We personally met well over 100 folks deeply engaged in the UX / UX research world. Of course, this is our target audience, but we also just really enjoy geeking out with you guys, so thanks!
We're a remote team, so for me, attending the event meant meeting 7 of my 12 coworkers in the flesh for the first time. That brings me to 9 total, with 3 still to meet. I'm looking at you Hana, Brittany, and Jessica.
This was our first large event together, so we did a lot of winging it, and even better, having fun. We decided to go for koozies (fun, useful) felt tip pens (the choice pen of the discerning UXer) and an interactive experience. Write a Post-it® confession, story, or tip from your UX research experience, then spin a wheel for a prize. Prizes included free participant recruitment, and months off our soon-to-launch subscription offering. Everyone seemed to enjoy the activity, and we were delighted when attendees asked us to explain what our company actually does! (Elevator pitch available by request at firstname.lastname@example.com).
We had dozens of submissions throughout the day, and I thought it'd be fun to turn those into some content for you all.
We gave people some basic prompts to choose from, but left it pretty open. Share a user interview war story, tips you've learned over the years, "unconventional" wisdom, what you wish you knew when you started, or really whatever you felt like. So, I did my best to organize the Post-its in a sort of open/closed card sort of 1. It's best if you imagine "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac playing in the background, because that's what was going on.
Here are the categories I landed on:
A few highlights of what researchers had to say:
Interview as wide a range of users as possible
If you want to validate your assumptions, to learn what you don't know you don't know, talking with a diversity of participants is a good way to get a diversity of opinion. You want talk to representative users of course, but don't overly box yourself in with a narrow definition of that audience either.
No such thing as a perfect interview script
Absolutely. I always gravitate to "moderator guide," since a script will inevitably, well, go off script. Focusing on key points you want to cover, and the goals of your interview will keep your interview on track, while allowing the conversation to flow naturally.
Eye contact is very important (practice with a cat)
Making a connection with another human is key to getting them to open up! Eye contact is a huge social cue that says: I'm a human, trying to connect with you. Video conferencing technology works in many cases, but you can't beat in-person for this.
Engage frequent site visitors using surveys via email, then solicit user testing
Take advantage of your analytics to find your best users for qualitative studies!
Pace over perfection. Don't get in too deep before you put something in front of users.
Love this one. In the quest for habitual research, keeping a steady research pace is more important than getting the wrong answer (or assumption) yesterday.
I make kids games. Sometimes I have to bring users to the potty in the middle of testing.
Aww. Nothing more human than a bio break. And a good reminder to meet your users where they are.
Once participant tried to pretend to be a doctor. When she couldn't answer any medical questions, we dismissed her.
Yikes. Unfortunately some participants lie. Of course we do our best here to screen participants at User Interviews, and block folks who have misrepresented themselves in the past. A good screener survey is one of your best lines of defense, but these things do happen. But the stories though!
True story: When an adult participant brought her dad with her
Bring your dad to your user interview day?
Interview was my roommate's ex… still interviewed him
Peak professionalism.
There were also stories of participants accidentally sharing their topless lady desktop wallpapers, crying in session, seeing participants google screener criteria, and more.
I'm a UX person—who doesn't like people!
Clearly the winning Post-it.
I hate the Google AdWords UI/UX
I so feel you on this. There's a new design out though! It's kind of better?
I need to find how many people?
It can seem overwhelming to organize a large recruit. But fortunately there are solutions out there to make it so much easier!
After starting my first UX job, I quickly learned that most of the team thought UX [research] just slowed things down and were happy to skip it!
For sure there's a point of diminishing returns when it comes to research. Researching early and often is your best course of action for consistently getting the most value out of it. Work closely with product so your interests and cycles of work are aligned. And score some early wins to show the value of what you're doing. Ashley Tudor, who led user research at Thumbtack, has some great tips to gain organizational buy-in for research.
I like to fix things… make things better!
Backing your product recommendations and insights with real user insight is an awesome human-centric way to solve real problems.

Review the answer. You can have felt and good user interface to attend the on-line mock tests. Sample papers with detailed explanation are given and it would be easy to understand. It's not their fault — they were never taught how to properly answer an interviewers' questions… and there is a right way. Answering why you had left your previous job is another popular interview question. And it's so affordable priced, anyone can improve their interview performance, even on a tight budget. News magazine writer Pierre, who in his salad days was a top political reporter, has fallen from grace and is now lucky to pick up celebrity profile interviews. In reality, you were probably the most qualified, but you failed to impress your interviewer.
And you know, my husbands not in the business at all, but he likes the business and he thinks that its fun and he likes going to parties and meeting people and he loves the movies. additional readingI introduced him to Jim and he just fell in love with Jim. Theres somethingabout Jim that my husband just went nuts for. He just was like, I love this guy. He is so over the top and so funny and so self-referential and just really out there. Hed never met anybody like Jim Wynorski. And so, he always says like, Jim and I are good friends on Facebook now, but Ive seen him over the years a few times and my husband always says, Whats Jim up to? Whats Jim doing? Even after all this time.Hes a larger than life personality and he definitely has an affect on you. And you know, he comes into a room and its all about Jim. So he has a huge personality and some of that transfers to the screen, who he is as a person. I mean, I really feel that way, as Ive gotten older.

Carmakers Nissan and Toyota both warned on Thursday that tariffs could hurt production in Britain and Volkswagen-owned brand Skoda urged Britain, Europe's second-largest car market, to clarify the situation as soon as possible. Britain's business ministry did not respond to multiple requests for comment. Speth said Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which built one third of Britain's 1.6 million cars last year, would face a double hit in the event of 'hard Brexit' with tariffs on exported cars and imported parts and technology hurting competitiveness. "If we face higher tariffs than anybody else then it's quite clear that it's reducing the competitiveness of our products especially in Europe," he said. "The order of magnitude cannot be calculated right now." Two sources told Reuters in June that the firm estimates its annual profit could be cut by 1 billion pounds ($1.3 billion) by the end of the decade if Britain returned to WTO tariffs of 10 percent, according to internal documents. FUTURE INVESTMENT? Speth also raised concern that some European consumers might be shunning British brands in the wake of the Brexit vote, referring to comments by European sales representatives. "They have the very first customers in their showrooms (who) clearly highlight that they don't want to buy British products any more," he said. Any blow to the British car industry, which was dogged by wild-cat strikes and poor productivity in the 1970s and 1980s, could undo years of recent progress with output currently expected to reach a record high of 2 million by 2020. JLR said its long-term investment strategy has not changed as a result of the vote but the firm would now have to think again after Britons backed leaving the European Union on June 23.

Professional bull riders will light up Wodonga's Gateway Lakes on November 2
All the action of professional bull riding will take over Wodonga's Gateway Lakes with a new purpose-built mobile stadium promising to bring fans closer to the action.
The November 2 event is one of seven Victorian stops on the 2019 Monster Energy Professional Bull Riders Australia tour with riders vying for more than $500,000 in prize money.
PBR Australia general manager Glen Young said the Wodonga event came off the back of "significant fan requests" for a PBR event in the area.
"Not only are we delivering that but we're also giving locals the opportunity to have a hero experience of the toughest sport on dirt in our brand new stadium," he said.
The stadium has a capacity of 4500 people, which includes 24 arena-side corporate boxes.
"The new stadium will allow us to revolutionise this extreme sport into a touring outback spectacular, with a full theatrical production offering an action-packed night of pro bull riding, combined with a social after party event featuring live entertainment and mechanical bucking bull for the punters," Mr Young said.
"In addition to this we will also be broadcasting the event live to the world on the new western culture digital broadcast platform 'RidePass'.
"These won't be one-off tour stops; we are making a long-term commitment to deliver high caliber events that will also have a positive impact on the local economies of each region we're touring to.
"On average, close to half of the attendees at these events will come from areas up to 2400km away, and most of our fans will attend more than one event each year."
Mr Young said there is much more to PBR than just bull riding.
"We will not only deliver the best match-ups between cowboy and bull athletes, but we will also offer up great live music and entertainment," he said.

text: Raugust 1 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 This is an ambitious expansion on the Complete Spektography list: an attempt to list every single known recording of a song performed by Regina. It will serve to consolidate the entire fanbase's knowledge of what songs are available, and I expect it to eventually be transferred to Reginapolis, along with links to download as many of the unreleased songs as possible. For now, though, we're in the basic information-gathering stage. Anyone and everyone can contribute: go to http://lyricwiki.org/User:Silence/Spektorsongs to see the current listing. While there, if you wish, you can hit the "edit" button to make any changes you wish to the list directly; simply make whatever changes or additions to the listing you wish. Alternatively, feel equally free to post the song information here, and I'll update the list myself. The song information consists of the title, the recording date (format Y-MM-DD; e.g., 1-07-09 is July 9, 2001), the source (album/demo name for studio-made, location for live performances), the time (i.e., song length), and various notes (which, again, feel free to change or expand on). The current list seems long (it's got over 500 songs at this point), but I know it is only a small fraction of the body of recordings that we all have, if we pool our knowledge. With your help, I'd love to get a more comprehensive listing ready, to clear up various misconceptions and misunderstandings about what recordings are and aren't known to exist.

The utility had planned to wrap up the call in June, but got permission from the BC Utilities Commission to wait until four weeks after the regulator rules on its 2008 long-term acquisition plan (LTAP). BC Hydro had originally planned to buy 5000 GWh of firm energy a year, but last December filed an amendment to the LTAP asking the commission to allow it to slash that to 3000 GWh a year, citing an expected drop in demand over the next 24 months (WINDPOWER MONTHLY, February 2009). The oral phase of the utility commission's hearing into the long-term plan began on June 1. BC Hydro received proposals from 43 companies for 69 projects with a combined capacity of about 7000 MW and a total firm energy output of more than 17,000 GWh a year. Nineteen of the proposals are for wind farms with total firm energy of about 8000 GWh a year.

Silverlight Object Models and Scripting to the Silverlight Plug-In
Microsoft Silverlight-based scripting applications expose their functionality through a browser-based Document Object Model (DOM), as well as a Silverlight-specific object model. These object models enable you to create and manipulate Silverlight content.
This topic contains the following sections:
- Document Object Model
- Silverlight Object Model
- Mixing Object Models
- Scripting to the Silverlight Plug-In
Document Object Model
The document object represents the entire HTML page and can be used to access all elements in a page. The body object represents the body of the document, which is represented as the <BODY> tag in the HTML page. The following HTML example shows how to set the content of the <BODY> tag to an HTML-formatted literal string by setting the innerHTML property.
<html> <body/> <html/> <script language="JavaScript"> document.body.innerHTML = '<b>Hello, world</b>'; </script>
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) DOM standard forms the basis of the DOM implemented in the most widely used browsers. However, most browsers offer extensions beyond the W3C standard. Therefore, developers need to be aware of these differences in order to create platform-neutral content. Silverlight can be accessed by the browser DOMs listed in the following table.
|Gecko DOM (Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape version 6 and later, and other Mozilla-based browsers)
|Gecko is the software component that handles the parsing of HTML, the layout of pages, the document object model, and the rendering of the entire application. For more information, see Gecko DOM Reference.
|DHTML DOM (Internet Explorer version 4 and later)
|The Dynamic HTML (DHTML) DOM gives authors direct, programmable access to the individual components of their Web documents, from individual elements to containers. For more information, see About the DHTML Object Model.
Silverlight Object Model
The Silverlight object model defines a set of objects that enable you to populate and adjust the content of a Silverlight-based application. The Silverlight object model is exposed through the Silverlight plug-in, which you create as the content container on a Web page. For more information about instantiating a Silverlight plug-in within a Web page, see Instantiating a Silverlight Plug-in.
The following illustration shows how the Web page, the Silverlight plug-in, and the Silverlight content interrelate.
Relationship between a Web page and Silverlight content
This diagram shows the two object models available within the Web application: one for the HTML DOM and one for Silverlight. The Silverlight plug-in, represented in the HTML source as either an HTML Object or Embed tag, is conceptually the intermediate between the two object models. Certain properties or behavior of a Silverlight plug-in are available to either object model.
After you create the Silverlight plug-in, you can retrieve a reference to the plug-in instance by referencing its ID in the DOM for the Web page. The following JavaScript example shows how to retrieve the ID of the Silverlight plug-in by using the document.getElementById method.
var plugin_1 = document.getElementById("SLPlugin_1");
Note To retrieve the plug-in's DOM properties, you must use the GetElementById method to return a reference to a DOM-accessible object. The GetHost method does not return an object from which DOM values can be retrieved.
Silverlight Hierarchy of XAML Objects
When you add XAML objects to the Silverlight plug-in, as initially declared by the Source property, you are defining a hierarchical tree structure with a root object. For example, the following XAML code creates a object hierarchy that contains a parent Canvas object and child TextBlock and Canvas objects. In this case, the first Canvas object defined is the root object for the tree structure.
<!-- The top-most object in the XAML hierarchy is referred to as the root object. --> <Canvas xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007" Loaded="onLoaded"> <!-- Canvas objects can be a child of another Canvas object. --> <Canvas Canvas.Left="20" Canvas.Top="20"> <Rectangle Width="200" Height="35" Fill="PowderBlue" /> <TextBlock Canvas.Left="25" Canvas.Top="5" Foreground="Teal" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="18" FontWeight="Bold" Text="Sample Output" /> </Canvas> <TextBlock Canvas.Left="36" Canvas.Top="80" Foreground="Maroon" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="24" FontWeight="Bold" Text="Hello, world" /> </Canvas>
XAML content is converted into a a hierarchical tree structure with a root object. The following illustration shows the tree structure for the previous XAML content.
XAML content as a tree structure
The tree structure determines the rendering order of Silverlight objects. The order of traversal starts with the root object, which is the topmost node in the tree structure. The root object's children are then traversed, left to right. If an object has children, its children are traversed before the object's siblings. This means that the content of a child object is rendered in front of the object's own content. The following illustration shows the rendered output and the rendering order sequence from the previous XAML example.
Rendering order of XAML content
Adding XAML Objects to the Silverlight Object Hierarchy
When you create content for a Silverlight plug-in, you set the Source property of the plug-in to reference XAML content. The XAML content is parsed and converted into a Silverlight object hierarchy, which is then rendered. Setting the Source property is typically done indirectly through the use of JavaScript helper files, which provide initialization support for creating the Silverlight plug-in. For more information about using these helper files, see Instantiating a Silverlight Plug-in.
You can also add XAML content to existing objects in the XAML object hierarchy. For example, the following JavaScript example appends a TextBlock object to an existing Canvas object.
// MouseLeftButtonUp event handler for the Canvas object. function onMouseLeftButtonUp(sender, mouseEventArgs) { // Retrieve a reference to the plug-in. var plugin = sender.getHost(); // Create a TextBlock using a literal XAML string. var textblock = plugin.content.createFromXaml('<TextBlock Canvas.Top="50">Hello, again</TextBlock>'); // Append the TextBlock to the sender, or Canvas, object. sender.children.add(textblock); }
For more information about adding XAML content to existing objects, see Constructing Objects at Run Time.
Other Silverlight Objects
The Downloader object is a special-purpose Silverlight object that provides the ability to download content asynchronously, including XAML content, JavaScript content, and media assets such as illustrations. With this object, you do not have to provide all application content when the Silverlight plug-in is instantiated. Instead, you can download content on demand in response to application needs. The Downloader object provides functionality for initiating the data transfer, monitoring the progress of the data transfer, and retrieving the downloaded content. For more information about using the Downloader object, see Downloading Content on Demand.
Mixing Object Models
You can use JavaScript to bridge the DOM and the Silverlight object model. For example, suppose you have a TEXTAREA element in your HTML page (identified by id in the DOM) and you want to access the user input of that element and use the text value in your Silverlight-based application. The TEXTAREA element is declared as shown in the following code.
... <TextArea ID="myHTMLTextArea">Type something and Click the box below</TextArea> ...
In your XAML, you have a simple Canvas with a MouseLeftButtonDown event attached to it.
<Canvas xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/client/2007"> <Canvas Width="200" Height="35" Canvas.Left="20" Canvas.Top="20" Background="PowderBlue" MouseLeftButtonDown="onMouseLeftButtonDown"> <TextBlock Canvas.Left="25" Canvas.Top="5" Foreground="Teal" FontFamily="Verdana" FontSize="18" FontWeight="Bold" Text="Click" /> </Canvas> </Canvas>
The following JavaScript retrieves the text from the TEXTAREA and then outputs that content into the XAML. Here, value is a property of that particular object type in the DOM, which returns a string. That string is then used to set the inner text of a TextBlock, which also takes a string.
function onMouseLeftButtonDown(sender, mouseEventArgs) { // Retrieve the text from the TEXTAREA element in the HTML. var txtInput = document.getElementById("myHTMLTextArea").value; // Retrieve a reference to the plugin. var plugin = sender.getHost(); // Create a TextBlock using a literal XAML string. Use the text from // the HTML object for the content of the TextBlock. var textblock = plugin.content.createFromXaml('<TextBlock Canvas.Top="50">' + txtInput + '</TextBlock>'); // Append the TextBlock to the sender, or Canvas, object. sender.children.add(textblock); }
This concept is illustrated by the following illustration. Although the two object models cannot access each other directly, JavaScript acts as a bridge, because the JavaScript code and variables that you set in JavaScript are accessible from either object model. The key entry points are the document object or event handlers for the DOM, and a Silverlight plug-in instance or event handlers for the Silverlight object model.
JavaScript object model map
Scripting to the Silverlight Plug-In
The Silverlight plug-in itself has properties, methods, and events that are part of the Silverlight object model. Some of the properties were established on that particular plug-in instance when it was instantiated as an object within the DOM. In many of these cases, the property could be retrieved either from the DOM or from the Silverlight object model.
Within the Silverlight plug-in's own object model, some of the properties, methods, and events are available directly on the plug-in instance. To call these properties and methods, you would reference a variable that represented a particular instance, then add a dot, and then add the name of the property and method. Other properties, methods, and events are exposed on specific sub-objects of the Silverlight plug-in. The sub-object distinctions exist to provide some encapsulation of a Silverlight plug-in's functions and the object model in which they participate.

Last week we had a school planning day. These are days built into our calendar (typically 3 or 4 in a year) where students do not attend and school staff engage in professional learning opportunities.
We gathered in our auditorium with movie snacks to watch Most Likely To Succeed as a full staff. Everyone was included: teachers, instructional assistants, admin assistants, security staff, etc. This work is important for all of us.
The movie is about 90 minutes in length and after watching the movie we broke into departments for discussions. The power of this discussion was evident in the reflection form that everyone filled out after concluding their discussions. We provided questions straight from the MLTS Discussion Guide (included with your hosting materials) to spark conversation.
This was a completely new style of professional learning for us. We typically hold a conference-style day with choices of sessions for staff to attend, presented as much as possible by our own staff. We are doing great things already and want to highlight and spread that greatness throughout our building. Mixing it up keeps things interesting and encourages everyone to think differently about the work we're doing. I'd highly recommend hosting your own screening if you are able to do so! A lot of schools hold a screening and discussion for the staff and community together.
If you want to host a screening of Most Likely To Succeed, you can find our more information here. I also recommend Tony Wagner's book of the same name – lots of good information in there. We are discussion innovation in a series of #NoVAedchat conversations. Join us on on Twitter the 2nd Wednesday of October, November and December for conversations moderated by the FCPS Division Level Coaches and FCPS School Support. Check out the transcript of our October conversation here.

const (
// DefaultTimeout is the default length of time to wait for first byte.
DefaultTimeout = 30 * time.Second
func Dial ¶
func Dial(network, address string, header byte) (net.Conn, error)
Dial connects to a remote mux listener with a given header byte.
type Mux ¶
Mux multiplexes a network connection.
type Mux struct { // The amount of time to wait for the first header byte. Timeout time.Duration // Out-of-band error logger Logger *log.Logger // contains filtered or unexported fields }
func NewMux ¶
func NewMux() *Mux
NewMux returns a new instance of Mux.
func (*Mux) DefaultListener ¶
func (mux *Mux) DefaultListener() net.Listener
DefaultListener will return a net.Listener that will pass-through any connections with non-registered values for the first byte of the connection. The connections returned from this listener's Accept() method will replay the first byte of the connection as a short first Read().
This can be used to pass to an HTTP server, so long as there are no conflicts with registered listener bytes and the first character of the HTTP request: 71 ('G') for GET, etc.
func (*Mux) Listen ¶
func (mux *Mux) Listen(header byte) net.Listener
Listen returns a listener identified by header. Any connection accepted by mux is multiplexed based on the initial header byte.
func (*Mux) Serve ¶
func (mux *Mux) Serve(ln net.Listener) error
Serve handles connections from ln and multiplexes then across registered listeners.
