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
#11= 1234/1234
#12= 6789/6789

“The people who make it to the top- whether they’re musicians or great chefs or corporate honchos- are addicted to their calling. You have to honor the gift that God has given you. The people who get the call are the ones who’d be doing whatever it is they love even if they weren’t being paid. The junkies love what they do: they revel in it. They exude not only expertise but also joie de vivre.” -Quincy Jones

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]
