The best of adventure and sport in NSW
If you want adventure,then the state of New South Wales(NSW) in Australia is the place to go.No matter what season it is,you can choose from a wide variety of landscapes,climates,activities and experiences all with easy access to tour operators and local guides.
For snow lovers,there’s no better place than the Snowy Mountains.Skiers and snowboarders can hit the slopes for some downhill thrills in Kosciuszko National Park.Non-skiing adventure-seekers will enjoy hiking or snowshoeing.
If water sports are more your thing,there are plenty of places to go.Surfers grab their surfboards and head to Byron Bay,Shellharbour,or Newcastle’s Merewether Beach,to see spectacular sea life up close,visit Lord Howe Island,a world-famous destination for underwater diving.
The oceans,lakes and rivers around NSW offer a lifetime’s worth of exciting fishing and boating
challenges.Want more?Experience the rush of whitewater rafting in Jindabyne and Penrith,or go barefoot waterskiing in Port Stephens.
For adventure in NSW,the sky’s the limit!Book a hot-air-balloon or helicopter ride over the stunning vineyards of the Hunter Valley,go skydiving in Wollongong,or try hang-gliding in Stanwell Park.
Get to know the State’s unique and tough landscapes on a caving,canoeing or rock climbing adventure.Four-wheel-driving and off-roading tours are popular in both Country NSW and Outback NSW.Or explore parts of the State on horseback ― you’ll find great horse riding options in Sydney and throughout NSW.

Need for closure is a psychological term that describes a person’s desire for a firm answer to a question.Our need for closure is our natural preference for definite answers over confusion and uncertainty.Every person has their own baseline level of need for closure.It likely evolved via natural selection.
What I find really fascinating is how our need for closure is affected by the situation we’re in.Our need for closure rises when we have to act rather than just observe,and it matters much more when we’re rushed,or bored,or tired.Any stress can make our discomfort with uncertainty increase,and a high need for closure negatively influences some of our most important decisions: who we decide to trust,whether we admit we’re wrong and even how creative we are.
In hiring,for instance,a high need for closure leads people to put far too much weight on their first impression.It’s called the Urgency Effect.In one experiment,psychologists tried to lower people’s need for closure by telling them,right before participants were about to make various judgments of a job candidate,that they would be responsible in some way for them,or that their judgments had serious consequences.
In making any big decision,it’s not enough just to know that we should take our time.We all know that important decisions shouldn’t be rushed.The problem is that we don’t keep that advice in mind when it matters.So,one of the best solutions is to formalize the reminders.Before making important decisions,write down not just advantages and disadvantages but what the consequences could be.Also,think about how much pressure you’re under.If your need for closure is particularly high that day,it’s even more important to think twice.

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot. 1 But with these tips,your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
●When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story,think about the topic
and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it.For example,if your topic is about environmental problems in America,you might ask,“Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?” 2
●Hit the streets with confidence.
3 Say,“Excuse me,I work for XYZ News,and I was wondering if you could
share your opinion about this topic.” This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
●Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera.Don’t get discouraged. ●
4 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn’t be longer than ten minutes.As soon as you get the answer you need,move on to the next person.Make sure that as you go from interview to interview,you are getting a variety of answers.If everyone is giving you the same answer,you won’t be able to use it.A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten. 5
●If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air,don’t leave work
without them. A.Limit your time.
B.As you approach people,be polite.
