Chicken Breasts With Pears and Dried Figs
Recipe by COOKGIRl
Clipped out of our local newspaper; this Mediterranean-inspired recipe courtesy of that gang of rogues: The Pear Bureau Northwest. Original recipe called for fresh thyme.
Top Review by Megan Krape
I was in the mood for something with pears, goat cheese and chicken- just off the top of my head, so i searched and this recipe popped up- MUCH to my suprise! I made this for a crowd and it got messy- let me tell you- do NOT try to make the fig sauce in a food processor- at least not one that you've never done liquids in. I turned mine on and was SHOWERED with fig juice and chicken broth. The other mess was pushing the figs through my sieve... but oh my gossssssshhhhhh, it was one of the most heavenly meals I have had in a long long long time. I searved it with grilled asparagus- my family loved loved loved it- even the kids.... wonderful! Thank you SO much for sharing!!! I'll make this again... it's just a time consuming meal- you get what you wait for though, right?! :)

Ingredients Nutrition
- 1⁄2 cup goat cheese (I used French feta-read *NOTE)
- 3⁄4 teaspoon fresh oregano or 3⁄4 teaspoon fresh marjoram
- 1 garlic clove, finely minced
- 3 pears, cored, peeled and cut in half
- 1 1⁄3 cups chicken broth
- 1 1⁄4 cups dried figs, chopped
- 3⁄4 cup dark balsamic vinegar, plus
- 1 tablespoon dark balsamic vinegar
- 1⁄4 cup sugar
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3 pounds)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 3 figs, cut up
- 1 sprig fresh oregano or 1 sprig fresh marjoram
Directions See How It's Made
- *NOTE: If using feta, it is high in sodium, so you may want to adjust the amount of salt indicated in the recipe. Also, the directions did not say to peel the pears, but I did anyway.
- In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, fresh herb and garlic. Place 2 rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the center of each pear half.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the chicken broth, figs, balsamic vinegar and sugar until smooth. (You may have to do this in batches.).
- Pour the chicken broth mixture into a strainer over a bowl. Using a spatula, press the liquid through the strainer into the bowl. Discard the solids.
- Pour HALF of the fig sauce into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Place the chicken breasts over the sauce in the pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Now take a filled pear half and place cut side down (that means the filled half is placed cut side down) over each chicken breast. Drizzle with the remaining fig sauce.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Cover baking dish with foil and bake in oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking, basting the chicken occasionally, for approximately 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 160 degrees.
- Cut chicken breast and pear in half to serve. Spoon fig sauce over pear. Garnish with cut up figs and sprigs of herbs.

How to upgrade from free to paidAsked by PandV on January 08, 2014 at 06:00 PM
I'm interested in using Jotform (and have been doing it for free, as a test). Now I need to take my testing further. I notice that for free I cannot have more than 100 submissions.
Will I be notified when I have received the 101st submission? Can I upgrade at that point so that I don't lose any submissions?
I'm worried that I'll hit 100 submissions and not notice it for a few days, then I've lost some contacts before I go subscription.
JotForm Support Manager
Yes you will be notified once your account is reaching around 80% of the limit, and that is when you need to upgrade
Your account and forms will get disabled after you reach the limit, this won't be immediately, but the next day after this happens, as the form will be disabled, you won't get further submissions, but you won't lose the data already captured in the form
Should you have more questions, let us know

Moyes impressed by Gosling
David Moyes has vowed to give midfielder Dan Gosling more opportunities in order to further his development.
By Richard Bailey
Last Updated: 06/01/09 1:07pm
Everton manager David Moyes has vowed to give midfielder Dan Gosling more opportunities in order to further his development.
Gosling has impressed since making his debut in the 1-0 win at Middlesbrough on Boxing Day.
The midfielder even managed to get his name on the scoresheet in the club's next game, coming off the bench to grab the final goal in a 3-0 win at home against Sunderland.
The 18-year-old has remained in the manager's plans ever since filling in for fellow midfielders Tim Cahill and Marouane Fellaini who have been asked to do a job up front following a number of injuries to the club's top strikers.
After coming off the bench in the Toffees' 1-0 FA Cup third round win at Macclesfield, Moyes claims Gosling will get more chances to impress.
"Dan has been terrific. His performance at Middlesbrough was really strong for a young boy," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"He has got a lot going for him. He was very close to starting in the next game, but I felt it was right for Leon Osman, who had been injured, to come back in.
"However Dan came on later and scored. He's made a good start. Now we want to make sure he keeps progressing.
"We are going to give him moments on the field to make sure that happens. We just hope he can keep developing."

New Delhi, Feb. 8: The railways have gone tech-savvy tickets can now be booked on the Internet and mobile phones. However, a reality check shows that there are few takers for these options.
The ticket windows at the railway booking counters remain the best bet. And if they run out of tickets, the shifty-eyed tout is in great demand.
Fourteen months ago, Union railway minister Nitish Kumar announced Net booking with a lot of fanfare.
However, out of the 6.5 lakh tickets sold across the country everyday, only 3,000 are booked on the Internet.
In last weeks interim railway budget, Kumar had announced that tickets could also be booked over mobile phones. But how many will use this option is uncertain.
Railway officials refuse to hazard a guess, but they reckon things might change when the mindset of the Indian railway passenger does.
It will depend on how quickly passengers realise the benefits of the alternative ticket booking system.
The numbers will grow fast and online booking will get a boost as a result of this decision. The reason for low numbers of online ticketing is the fact that in India, not many people have credit cards and Internet connections. However, there are more than 30 million phones, said M.. Chopra, the managing director of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), the subsidiary of the Indian Railways responsible for booking tickets through the Internet.
However, statistics released by the department of telecommunications show there are about 4 million Internet subscribers and 20 million users making them potential users of online booking. There are also about 4 million credit card holders in India.
It is a combination of mindset and those who do not understand how to book on the Internet. It has been a slow process, but it should pick up with more advertisement and education, said V.K Agarwal, former chairman of the Railway Board.
Only 8 million out of the 33 million mobile phone users will be able to use the facility of booking tickets on their phones as it will be made available only on those handsets that can browse the Net.
About 6.5 lakh tickets are booked everyday and 1.3 crore passengers travel on 8,500 trains run by the railways.
Their journeys can start in any part of India and end in any other part, with travel times as long as 48 hours and distances up to several thousand kilometres. The challenge is to provide a reservation system that can support such a huge scale of operations regardless of whether it is measured in kilometres, passenger numbers, routing complexity or simply the sheer scale of India, said a senior official of the Railway Board.
The aim is to make it easier and simple. The reservation of tickets online and through mobile phones is an attempt to leverage the benefits of technology to help passengers, the official added.
The total number of reserved tickets sold each day, including suburban tickets, is about 10 lakh.
While 40 per cent of the passengers hold season tickets and many are daily passengers, about 75,000-1 lakh travel without tickets, admitted a senior Railway Board official.
The Indian Railways is the second largest in the world with 6,853 stations, 63,028 km of track, 37,840 passenger coaches and 222,147 freight cars. It carries some 4.83 billion passengers and 492 million tons of freight.
The passenger reservation system was started in 1985 as a pilot project to provide reserved accommodation on any train from any counter.
The availability of tickets through Internet became effective from last year, and the reservation of tickets from mobile phones will become operational within a month. We are also bullish about starting a new service by the middle of this year that will allow passengers to book their tickets online, print the ticket at home or any cyber café and board the train. They will have to pay the train fare to the ticket collector on the train, said a senior executive with the IRCTC.

Self-collected Swabs for HPV Testing in 18-24 Year Old Women
We propose a cross-sectional study among 150 women in the United States who have used
Internet dating sites in the past year in order to examine risk factors for high-risk HPV
infections in 18-24 year old online daters, and evaluate strategies for transporting and
storing self-collected samples for HPV testing. We will ask participants to complete a
written questionnaire on their health, sexual behavior, and attitudes toward self-collecting
vaginal swabs, HPV vaccination, and cervical cancer screening. Also, we will ask the women
to self-collect two sequential vaginal swab samples that will be transported and stored
according to the two strategies described above. Each sample will be tested for
type-specific HPV DNA using a PCR-based assay.

Liberty of London is a distinguished English designer, producing fine cottons since 1875. The first is a fabulous East Meets West, featuring mystical dragons, camels, suns, and phases of the moon. The second is Strawberry Thief, which features blue birds and mini strawberries, and the third is Tree of Eden, which features brightly colored flowers. Liberty cottons are durable, and nearly wrinkle-free when taken directly from the dryer. This fabric makes delicious pajamas, dandy tailored shirts, dapper bow ties, and is a joy for hand-smocking. 54" wide. 100% cotton. Imported from England. Someone told us that you could finger-press Liberty lawn to remove wrinkles, and to our surprise we discovered that they were correct. Liberty is incredibly drapable, long-lasting, and luxurious. These amazing cotton fabrics are available in our brick-and-mortar store or through our online customized swatch service. Call 415-392-2910 now and ask for the second floor cotton department to order. These are only a few of many new prints we now have in stock! All Liberty cotton prints are $45 / yard and 54" wide.

Never Enough Sparkle, Never Enough Shiny
August 9, 2016 by Britex Fabrics
Recently, the New York Times wrote an article about the incredible bedazzling of the leotards, worn by the United States Olympic Gymnastics Team this year. According to the article, in 2008, when Nastia Liukin won the gold medal in the individual all-around at the Olympics in Beijing, her leotard had just 184 crystals on it, whereas, in 2012, when Gabby Douglas won the same event in London, her leotard had 1,188, and this year, many of the Team USA leotards will have close to 5,000 crystals on each. Ironically, the amount of crystals on the U.S. Gymnastics Team's Leotards has been growing along with the point system by which they are scored. In 2006, the Assessment System went from a 1-10 scale to an infinite one. Be sure to check out our amazing Crystals by Swarovski™ wall on the third floor of our brick-and-mortar store in San Francisco.
Crystals by Swarovski™ available in our notions department on the third floor
of our brick-and-mortar store
Leotards, which were once called maillots, were popularized in the late 1800's by Jules Léotard, a pioneer acrobat, known for the flying trapeze. In the mid-twentieth century, leotards took on a more modern shape, where they began to fit the human form, and were less baggy than they had been in the past. As recently as the 1970s, leotards were made from polyester, and it wasn't until the early 1980s that they began being manufactured from Lycra. With this new material came bold graphics, such as the stars and stripes on the side of the leotard worn by Mary Lou Retton and the rest of the U.S. gymnastics team during the 1984 Olympics.
Currently, the U.S. Gymnastics Team's Leotards are made of a shiny Lycra-like fabric called Mystique, which in addition to the crystals, adds even more sparkle to them. Despite being judged on their performance alone, and not by their outfits, many of the gymnasts like to feel good, and sometimes the added sparkle helps.
Check out our Lycra department on the second floor of our brick-and-mortar store
On the second floor of our brick-and-mortar store, you can find shiny nylon Lycra, similar to the Mystique fabric used in the manufacturing of the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Team's Leotards.
Whether you are creating an outfit for your next circus act, trip to Burning Man, costume for a dance competition or your kid's dance recital, we have an amazing selection of Lycra and crystals available in almost any color, in our brick-and-mortar store.

|Yoritomo Asuka
|Minister of the Census
Yoritomo Asuka was a courtier of the Mantis Clan.
Station Edit
Asuka was born the daughter of a senior Mantis functionary in Rokugan's Imperial Treasury, where the courtier took a position through her family connections. The talents Asuka displayed eventually gained the favor of the Imperial Treasurer Yoritomo Utemaro. [1]
Colonies Edit
Asuka was sent as a liaison to Colonies on behalf of the Imperial Treasury. Asuka was particularly demanding of her subordinates, acquiring an infamous reputation in the Ivory Court for the public reprisals she meted out on those who had failed to meet her standards. She took the eye of the Imperial Governor of the Colonies Otomo Suikihime, who appointed her as the Minister of the Census, head of the Ministry of Taxation. [1]
Minister of the Census Edit
Asuka was physically attractive, an avid player of Go and a perfectionist. She had no personal ambitions, but a distaste for nepotistic or status-based selection of duties. Asuka enjoyed her work, efficiently maintaining a voluminous assortment of financial data. [1]

Bad To Get Angry When Pregnant
I just found out that i'm 5 weeks pregnant. I wanted to know is it bad to get angry in early pregnancy?
Depends: Increased emotionality during preg can be due hormonal changes and due to stress of adapting to changing life-roles.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tess from So smooth, but hasn't lasted long I was so enchanted when I first put on these underwear! They were silky smooth, breathable, showed no VPL and were just overall great!! However, after a few washes they have already shown signs of wear and tear which is so disappointing considering I thought that they'd change my underwear game for real! Even considered just buying more because they were so smooth however not too sure now because $19 for an item that doesn't last that long!

Rated 2 out of 5 by TK22 from Okay to wear under stockings but not good for workouts The cloth is very soft to touch and feels good on the skin but I am a little disappointed with the product. The hipster rides up even while doing everyday tasks - I do not recommend it for workout wear. I have reserved this underwear for wearing to bed or wearing under stockings (the stockings help them keep in place - most of the time). The underwear fabric has also started losing shape and the colours have started fading after less than 10 washes.

Rated 2 out of 5 by NW27 from Namastay Put Thong I am also a huge Lululemon fan and it's the only brand I wear when I work out. I bought 4 pairs and these underpants in two styles and unfortunately the seams broke after 5 months, as the fabric is glued together. I personally found them comfortable to wear (I am a AU6-8), more so than any other invisible line underpants I've tried as they don't cut into your hips to give you a muffin top outline, but I can't justify the price tag only to have the seams break again in a few months.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Zenhikeryogirunner from So disappointed that I bought these for a 3 month trip - so uncomfortable I went into the Lululemon store in Melbourne city a few weeks back to purchase more of the other underwear style - the wonderful Mula Bandhawear briefs. I had one pair of these and wanted a further four pairs to take overseas on a 3 month hiking/yoga-ing/walking/climbing adventure. Unfortunately, the educator in the store decided to talk me into buying four pairs of these 'namastay put' underpants. I'm so annoyed about it because I'm now stuck with four pairs of the most uncomfortable, butt riding up, wedgie-giving, underpants and there's no Lululemon on the whole continent that I'm travelling in for me to go in and buy more of the Bandahwear style so I can toss out these awful ones. I wish I hadn't listened to the educator and just gone with what I knew, but she assured me they wouldn't ride up and are super quick dry (that part is true, but so are the Bandhawears - which I'm relying on at the moment so I can keep re-wearing that one pair as often as possible.) Having to consistently pick the fabric from your butt on multi-hour hikes is the actual worst. The 'namastay puts' DO NOT stay put. So you should stay away!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Donutsanddeadlifts from Lots of promise, disappointed in quality I have about 10 pairs of these undies! While I love them because they're super light and comfortable, seamless and feel nice, they aren't the kind of undies you can wear every day. The seams busted on two pairs while I was travelling recently and I found small holes in another 2 pairs. They also stretch out over time. Im a huge lulu fan and own so much stuff but not sure I can justify $19 a pair to only get a couple months out of these!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Maitai from My holy grail of knickers I have been looking for these knickers for years. They are perfect, nice and thin with no seams so no panty lines. Enough coverage that they don't ride up (I'd almost prefer them to be a bit more low-rise in the back but it's no biggie). Super comfortable and don't look like grandma undies. Win win all round - I need 100 pairs!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Spotty from Not what I was expecting The sales assistant told me these would be perfect under tights. 'Great! Just what I need, I thought" however they aren't what I need. I need undies that won't ride up my bum when I'm wearing them.

Rated 1 out of 5 by braid from Looses shape and rolls I agree with previous review, very disappointing for $19... Don't recommend it to wear with tights as it doesn't stay and edges roll up giving you awkward lines. Waist band ask lost shape after first wear and is now loose.

Rated 2 out of 5 by RunningMom29 from Doesn't stay put Disappointed in these hipsters. Although they are comfortable and the color is great the edges roll and do not stay in place. The rolling edges then become visible under my tights. For $19 a pair I would expect better quality.

less than impressed with the lineup of Modern Warfare 2-branded controllers and accessories released by Mad Catz last year, with their first-party price and less-than-first-party features. So, it's with something between hesitancy and mild interest that we tell you the controller company will continue the relationship with officially branded Call of Duty: Black Ops peripherals.
The press release doesn't go into specifics but, considering the game's milieu, we're hoping for a wireless Berlin Wall you can smash apart at the end and then sell parts of to unsuspecting tourists.
But it'll probably just be controllers and mice.

When it comes to saving money on your grocery bill, making an effort not to be wasteful is one of the best money-saving strategies. Many frugal families resort to the freezer to preserve surplus food and leftovers. But what if this is the second freeze and thaw go-round? Can you safely refreeze ham?

How to Freeze and Refreeze Ham

Yes, you can refreeze ham (both cooked or uncooked) as long as it has been thawed in the refrigerator (Other methods of thawing aren't recommended). For safety purposes, ham should be refrozen within three days of thawing. There may be a slight change in quality due to the moisture lost during thawing, which can affect the texture of your defrosted meat. Do not refreeze ham that's been left outside the refrigerator longer than two hours. Here's how to package your meat, so it doesn't get freezer-burned.

If you have a lot of ham to freeze, think about dividing it into smaller portions before you stick it in the freezer. This will allow you to pull out individual packages without having to thaw out the whole ham, thereby maintaining the quality of your ham and allowing you to enjoy it over a longer period of time.

How to Thaw Your Ham

To use your ham after it's been frozen (or refrozen), remove the package of frozen ham from the freezer and allow it to defrost in the refrigerator. Depending on the size, it should thaw completely in about 24 to 48 hours. If you're dealing with a smaller portion, or need to thaw it out faster, use this trick to thaw your ham in as little as 30 minutes.

Don't Forget to Freeze the Ham Bone

Be sure to freeze the ham bone, while you're at it. It can be used to make a delicious pot of soup or broth. Check out these tasty uses for ham bones. Just be warned: Once you taste ham broth, you may never settle for chicken broth again.

Uses for Leftover Ham

If you'd prefer to use your ham right away, try some of these leftover ham recipes. Many of these recipes also freeze well. Make a big pot of soup and freeze part (or all) of it to enjoy on nights when you're too busy to cook. When you're short on time, having ready-made meals in the freezer that you can pull out and reheat is a real luxury.

Keep Up with What's in Your Freezer

Be sure to label your ham before you put it in the freezer, so you don't lose track of it. Here are some free printable labels that you can use. And here's a printable freezer inventory list that you can use to remind yourself of what's in your freezer. Keep it attached to the outside of the door, so you don't have to rummage around in a cold freezer to see what you have on hand. You'll want to keep the freezer door closed as much as possible, to preserve the cool air keeping your food fresh. And having an inventory list makes meal planning a lot easier, too.

As you all may know, EXO's very own 'baozi,' or Xiumin, is looking less and less like a 'baozi' nowadays.
That's because he has lost around 8 kg (~18 lbs) since the time he debuted! On the recently aired episode of 'Star Show 360,' Xiumin presided over a segment titled 'My Little EXO TV,' during which he revealed his personal method for weight loss.
The idol admitted, "The easiest way to lose weight is to not eat. But your body will become emaciated if you try to lose weight by not eating. So I prepared my own way of dieting but still eating."
According to the idol, you must wake up early in the morning to go for a long walk for about an hour or so. Afterwards, you break your fast by eating, and it's okay to eat whatever you want as long as you don't stuff yourself to the point of being full. Sounds like a no-brainer so far, right?
SEE ALSO: AKP Talks Eric Nam collaboration and more with AOBeats
Then comes what some people may consider a bit difficult. Following breakfast, you must starve yourself again for four hours straight, that is until lunch time. If you are hungry at lunch time, then you eat something, and then starve again for four hours. It is much the same for dinnertime, making sure that you have not eaten anything for at least four hours before heading to bed.
Xiuimin explained at the end, "If you do this for about a month, then you will definitely not gain any weight, and you will have shed at least some pounds. What's most important is to be active. For those who attend school, you must wake up early in the morning to exercise. The second most important thing is to have perseverance. You absolutely need perseverance. Diligence, effort, and positivity: you can succeed at your diet of you practice these three things."
Well, every body type is different, so don't take Xiumin's tips too much to heart and do your research before jumping into any type of "diet," folks!

Raiganj, Aug. 28: A girl out to pick flowers early this morning was jolted by a 240-volt electric shock when she walked into a booby trap set up by a neighbour to stop people from stealing flowers from his garden.
Ruma Rajbangshi, 13, is now in hospital with burns on both her hands, near her elbows. She had tried to pull down the branch of a tagar plant from the other side of a boundary wall when she touched the live wire laid there by Utpal Saha, a resident of the Debinagar area in town.
Ruma lives in the same neighbourhood. I needed some flowers for the rakhi ceremony today, said the girl from her bed in the Raiganj hospital. I do not have a brother and was going to tie a rakhi on my cousin.
Dr Sanjay De, a local physician, said Ruma was lucky to be alive. If the electric current passing through her body at the moment of contact had gone anywhere near her heart, she would have had a cardiac arrest, he said.
It later emerged that another woman, Sandhya Chakrabarty, 60, had also received a jolt at the Sahas garden earlier in the morning. The local councillor said Saha had been told not to set up the live wire in his garden, but the warning was ignored.
However, when Rumas father Adhir Rajbangshi, a rickshaw-puller, went to the Raiganj police station to lodge an FIR against Saha, the on-duty officer allegedly refused to take down the complaint.
Instead, the officer asked me why my daughter was stealing flowers from someone elses garden, said Adhir, who had gone to the police station after admitting his daughter to the hospital.
North Dinajpur police chief Swapan Banerjee Purnapatra, after being told about the incident, said he would personally look into the matter. The father should submit the complaint directly to me, the police chief said. I will find out why Raiganj police did not cooperate.
Saha, it appeared, has gone into hiding. His garden turned out to be small plot of vacant land in front of the house, surrounded by a 4ft-high wall with a gap where the gate should be. A papaya tree and a few tagar plants stood close to the wall. The tagar branches that reportedly extended beyond the wall from where Ruma had tried to pick the blossoms seemed freshly cut.
The live wire was no where in sight.
All the doors and windows of the house were bolted and after much shouting, Sahas wife Gitanjali came out. My husband is a cloth merchant. Our lawn and the plants on it are his passion but the neighbours are always picking the flowers and breaking off branches. So my husband hired an electrician who laid the wire to protect the garden, she said.
Gitanjali added that Saha was not at home.
Apart from the police, Saha will also be in trouble with West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited. It is absolutely illegal to take a connection out of the building and into the garden without there being any bulb or something at the end of it, said Baidyanath Dutta, an assistant engineer in Birnagar circle.
Dutta said Saha could be charged with illegal distribution of power.
The assistant engineer added that it was alternate current that jolted the girl. She would have been drawn towards the source of the current, but probably hit the wall in between and fell back, Dutta said.
Local Congress councillor, Rakhal Das, who had earlier warned Saha against rigging the garden with a power line, said: If he does not publicly apologise to the victims and give them compensation, we will submit a mass petition against him to the police.
Around noon today, Ruma tied a rakhi on her cousin at the hospital itself.

Daytrader trunk already creates several plugins for both tomcat and jetty (streamer-client, ws-client, and the core sample itself) along with plugins for various datasources and jms. In fact, I think these were part of the 2.1.3 release you had assembled and put up for vote a few months back. Introducing a web-only version of the core sample and making plugins for it available for tomcat and jetty seems consistent with what is already in place. I see no reason to extract the plugin generation from Daytrader and include it in Geronimo Samples. If daytrader is to be a subproject of Geronimo then it seems appropriate that it would contain some Geronimo specific content. However, I would hope that the addition of Geronimo plugins would not hinder our ability to generate the vanilla war/ear versions for deployment in other web/app servers since that is my current interest at the moment. > A version of daytrader for Tomcat 6 > ----------------------------------- > > Key: DAYTRADER-68 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAYTRADER-68 > Project: DayTrader > Issue Type: New Feature > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: Web Tier > Affects Versions: 2.2 > Environment: Tomcat 6.0.18 > Reporter: Forrest Xia > Assignee: Joe Bohn > Fix For: 2.2 > > Attachments: daytrader-webonly-new.patch, daytrader-webonly-new.zip, daytrader-webonly.patch > > > I have a trimmed version of daytrader for tomcat 6, and want to contribute to daytrader trunk, please help review and commit. thanks! -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Miss: Meeting and Chair Essay
Miss: Meeting and Chair
1 – Understand the task of taking minutes at meeting
1.1 Describe the purpose of meetings The purpose of meetings is so that organisations can communicate information to others, with their own organisation or other outside organisations. Meetings can be used in different ways and can have different agenda's to others. They can be used to inform, seek ideas, clarification, resolve problems, discuss proposals, settle disputes and take decisions.
1.2 Describe legal organisational requirements that may apply to minute taking When I am taking minutes I like to make sure that I am ready to follow all requirements by writing myself a list of reminders. For example; title, time, date, place of meeting, names of attendees, apologies, visitor, items, actions required and next meeting date. This ensures that I don't miss any legal or organisational procedures off and that I can then concentrate on getting the minutes accurate. The minutes must also be correct as it is a legal requirement and there should be no false input included into the minutes. I agree the agenda with the chair and also have the minutes signed off in next meeting once all attendees have agreed on the summary of the minutes.
1.3 Explain the purpose of minutes as an accurate record of discussions and decisions Once I've took minutes in a meeting, I like to go through them and type them up in a presentable manner so that it a person, whether or not at the meeting could read and understand them fully. From past experiences, regularly people at the meeting have forgotten details and have referred back to the minutes that were taken. This way everyone has a personal recorded of what took place in the meeting and discussions and decisions can be put into action correctly with everybody on the same page. 1.4 Describe the purpose of documents and terms that are commonly used in meetings There are three commonly used terms used in meetings such as minutes, the agenda and the notice of the meeting. Minutes are put into place so that a record of the meeting can be captured and referred back to.
The minutes should include the place and time of the meeting, its purpose and the meeting chair. It's important that there are apologies if there are any, the meeting agenda, a review of previous meeting minutes and also the date, time and place of the next meeting. To end the minutes, time of closure must be added. The agenda is put in place so that the meeting can run smoothly and nothing is missed. It is a detailed listing of agenda for meeting and I usually find that copies of agenda's are give to everybody who has attended or was invited. Before the meeting its self a notice of the meeting must be in place. This can be via email, telephone, letter or face to face conversation. Details must include the date, time, type of meeting, location, the purpose of meeting. Meeting documents are created when the business is meeting to discuss matters pertaining to the present operation and future operation of the business.
1 – Understanding the role of the chair and other formal responsibilities in meetings
2.1 Explain the role of the chair and other formal responsibilities within meetings The chair in a meeting has a big responsibility as well as the minute taker. It is their job to ensure an accurate recorded of the meeting is being produced. They are responsible for the minute taker and agreeing agenda items with them. They must follow the agenda in the correct order and must inform the minute taker of any items to be removed from off the agenda. The chair must summarise specific points from off the agenda before moving onto the next item. They must agree and summarise any long discussions made at the meeting. It is also their job to review the minutes in draft form once the meeting is over.
2.2 Describe how to work in partnership with the chair when taking minutes When taking minutes, before the meeting starts I like to discuss the agenda and approve items. If the meeting is being held in a venue I haven't been to before, I get advice for the chair (who is usually my manager) details on that particular venue. During the meeting, if I am unsure about a particular discussion being added to the minutes, I approve it with the chair. This is so I can avoid recording any wrong information. Once the meeting is finished I type up the minutes as a draft as soon as possible and have it approved by the chair/manager before distributing them to the members.
2 – Know how to take minutes at meetings 3.1 Explain the purpose of listening actively when taking minutes I find when taking minutes, listening actively is one of the most important factors. The minutes serve a record of discussions and decisions that were agreed in the meeting. Its important listening out for main details which could include dates, times, venue, opinions and decisions are listened to carefully so that no information is lost. Being able to listen actively means that I can be productive and ready to respond, which I feel seeks purpose.
3.2 Explain how to listen actively when taking minutes When taking minutes, I tend to write at an efficient pace but also make sure that the information I put down is relevant. I do this by practice from previous meetings and to gain knowledge of what the meeting is about. If I don't understand I ask the chair person if they can clarify the facts that I do not understand. I also take into consideration the feelings of speakers and attendees as it gives a better feel to meeting out come. This is also an example of actively listening. I eliminate any distractions or interruptions in order to concentrate on the speaker so that i don't miss out on any important information or actions that need recording.
3.3 Describe how to take notes during discussions held at meetings
When I take minutes at a meeting, I like to get there early and find out who the chair person is, that way I can get a seat next to them. I then make sure that everybody has the correct paper work and most importantly, the agenda. I always make sure that I have agenda's to spare encase an attendee does not have a copy. I make sure that I have read through all the paper work before the meeting begins and ask for name of those present. The next part is to listen carefully and write down key words and decisions made. At the end of the meeting I then ask for clarification and to check minutes from the chair.
3.4 Explain the purpose the purpose of getting clarification
The purpose of getting clarification when taking notes is so that you can be sure that the information is correct. If I am in any doubt while taking minutes, I know that it is essential that I ask the chair to clarify what was discussed or agreed. The minutes are important as they are future reference of the meeting.
3.5 Describe how to get clarification If I am lost during the discussion that may occur at the meeting, I simply ask the chair if he or she can clarify what has been said. I can also ask the group in a polite way if they can repeat or talk slowly or more clearly. I give myself time to listen and eliminate distraction.
3.6 Describe different types of minutes and their purpose There are two types of minutes which are known as précis minutes and verbatim minutes. Précis minutes are used to summarise meetings and are hand written or typed. The purpose of these minutes is so that plans, proposals and opinions can be put into consideration and acted upon in a group agreement. Verbatim minutes are usually taken at public hearings. The speaker's words are recorded and have minor paraphrasing. The comparison of the two is that précis minutes are around discussions and summarising plans and discussions. Verbatim minutes are a record of a public speech there for almost everything must be recorded. 3.7 Describe the different styles of writing that may be used in minute taking There are three different types of minutes that are all different in style and in action.
'Verbatim minutes' are a record of each and every word said at a meeting. This type of minute taking is likely to be used to capture the events at a disciplinary hearing for example. Usually they are often long and can be difficult to skim for pacific information. The type of minutes most commonly used and what I use most in the office is 'Summary minutes. These types of minutes include the discussion leading up to a decision and the action as an end result. I write summary minutes in full sentences rather than bullet points as they are useful as a reminder for participants after the meeting and also ensure that absent colleagues know what decisions were made at the meeting. Finally, action minutes are a type of minutes that simply records what actions have been decided upon, who is responsible and what the deadlines are. The purpose of these minutes is to provide only a record of decisions that need action.
3.8 Explain how to sort, select and structure information to produce minutes When I am producing minutes, I have a certain structure to how I sort and select my minutes. I start by following the agenda and write my minutes in subject order. I summarize my rough notes so that they are clear and well paragraphed. I select action points by using italics, bold or underlining highlighted points. I pay attention to the layout by using bullet points and sub headings when it is necessary. 3.9 Explain what is meant by using the correct tone and professional language in minutes I have learnt that when taking minutes, it is important that the minutes are exact to what happened in that particular meeting. This is so there is an accurate record of what was discussed and actions to go ahead. I focus on the items discussed so there is clear information on what was decided. I change my notes into full clear sentences and in sufficient detail. The main purpose of doing it this way is so that it can be referred back to in full detail and also helps if somebody missed the meeting. The reader will be able to understand what took place at the meeting accurately.
3 – Be able to prepare for taking minutes, as requires 4.1 Prepare for taking minutes as required When I am preparing to take minutes, I make sure that everybody has the correct paper work including the agenda. I establish the format in which the minutes will be taken and make sure I include all items such as, date, time, venue, apologies, all those present, reports and matters discussed. I make sure that no actions have been missed off. Usually someone is assigned by the chair of the meeting. I and other admin staff usually take turns to take minutes. It is also decided by the chair of the meeting whether the minute taker is to transcribes or distribute the meetings minutes to the necessary participants. I also keep the original minutes along with the transcribed versions of minutes. I then prepare minutes for distribution, whether it be by post or email. All of the prepared minutes are formatted so it is easily readable. I send the minutes in a timely manner as it is important that they are sent not too long after the meeting. This way all the members can stay informed. I have the minutes verified and approved before the start of the next meeting in case of any objection to the recorded statements or actions by the chair of the meeting.
4.2 Communicate with the meeting chair, as required When I have taken minutes in the past, I find it essential to communicate with the meeting chair. At the start of the meeting, I go through the agenda and review agreed agenda items with the chair. This gives me a better understanding of what the meeting will involved and helps when writing down the correct and important information. The chair will also follow the agreed agenda in sequence which helps me follow and keep up when taking minutes. In the past, the chair has informed me if any of the agreed agenda has been removed. This helps keep me in the loop and again, helps me to understand where we are at in terms of the meeting agenda. Sometimes when there is a lot of discussion, valid points and important actions can be missed. My chair always summarizes all items so I am able to get all of the correct and important information recorded. By communicating with the chair I feel it helps the meeting run smoothly and helps towards the minutes be accurate. My chair always reviews my final draft before it is sent to relevant participants.
4.3 Note any changes to the agenda, matters arising and action points from last meeting When I have been in a meeting and changes are made, I make a note of any changes that maybe made last minute. This is so there is no confusion when referring back to the agreed agenda and the drafted minutes. I always keep copy/copies of the matters that arose in the last meeting and all the action points. It is very important as the meeting can tend to be around targets from previous meeting/meetings.
4 – Be able to minute meetings 5.1 Take notes at a meeting of all items required I have taken minutes on numerous occasions whilst working alongside food banks, staff meetings and joint work with surrounding organizations. What I did when taking minutes for joint works with Moving On WL and The Engine Rooms: This meeting took place in the Engine Rooms 4th October and started at 9.30 till 12.30pm. I organized copies of the agenda prior meeting and agreed agenda with the chair, Greg Mitten. I prepared white boards so that the group could write down actions to refer back to during the meeting. I took note of all those present, apologies, meeting agenda agreement and the necessary date, time and venue. All items were followed accordingly from the agenda and actions were made and requested to different parties. There were agreed dates for the next two meetings so that the actions can be reviewed. I then drafted the meeting notes and had them checked by the meeting chair. There was some adjustment to be made, which I did and had them reviewed. They were then verified and I went on to distribute the agenda's by email and hard copies were given.
5.6 Agree minutes with the relevant people and circulate them within the agreed timescales After taking my first set of minutes, I learnt that I had to have them agreed signed off at the next meeting. The chair reviewed and summarized the previous minutes in front of the attendees from the last meeting. The minutes were then agreed and when then able to be signed off. In regards to the timescale in which the minutes are sent, I leave them no longer than seven days. I usually have the minutes drafted the same day and verified by the chair. This way the minutes can be sent the following day. In meeting we circulate a timescale of 7 days with all that are present at the meeting.
5.9 Store notes and minutes following organizational procedures After the minutes are signed off, I store them in a pacific file on our data base so that there is always an excisable way to view them if needed. I also keep the original notes and draft in the filing cabinet so that if reviewing is needed, we have a back up of the original copy. This copy is the signed of copy so that there is proof of signature.
5.10 Follow legal and organizational requirements for minute taking, as necessary In the past when I am taking minutes I like to make sure that I am ready to follow all requirements by writing myself a list of reminders. For example; title, time, date, place of meeting, names of attendees, apologies, visitor, items, actions required and next meeting date. This ensures that I don't miss any legal or organisational procedures off and that I can then concentrate on getting the minutes accurate. The minutes must also be correct as it is a legal requirement and there should be no false input included into the minutes. I agree the agenda with the chair and also have the minutes signed off in next meeting once all attendees have agreed on the summary of the minutes.
