Theory Thursday: Speaker Designations
When doing Q&A, or in other situations where there may be several different speakers, it is important to have a variety of designations to identify the multiple speakers. Below is a list of steno briefs that can be used to indicate multiple speakers by number. (Remember, most of the time, these speakers will be defined as colloquy. Also, this list does not include the basic Q and A designations):
#01= STPHAO
#02= SKWRAO
#03= EUFPLTD or *EUFPLT
#04= EURBGSZ or *EURBGS
#05= STPHAOEU
#06= SKWRAOEU
#07= AOEUFPLT
#08= AOEURBGS
#09= STPHAOEUFPLT
#10= SKWRAOEURBGS

Legal Vocabulary: Avulsion
Avulsion is defined as: “The immediate and noticeable addition to land caused by its removal from the property of another, by a sudden change in a water bed or in the course of a stream.
When a stream that is a boundary suddenly abandons its bed and seeks a new bed, the boundary line does not change. It remains in the center of the original bed even if water no longer flows through it. This is known as the rule of avulsion.” [SOURCE: The Free Dictionary]

Medical Monday: Cachexia
According to Wikipedia, cachexia can be described as follows: “Loss of weight, muscle atrophy, fatigue, weakness, and significant loss of appetite in someone who is not actively trying to lose weight. The formal definition of cachexia is the loss of body mass that cannot be reversed nutritionally: Even if the affected patient eats more calories, lean body mass will be lost, indicating a primary pathology is in place.” This condition is said to be caused by a severe chronic illness.
