User Interface: I am the User User Interface Designer the technical functions design of the apparatus is the effect the apparatus should have in this case it is the function of the remote control which is to send messages to the television television set By taking inspiration from other similar designs we will try and come up with an original trendy remote control which is sellable international There are two functional design options A multifunctional remote control which can be used for several entertainment devices And a single function remote control used specifically for the television
Marketing: I am sorry what was that last one Multifunctional and
User Interface: Sorry a single function just for the television itself multifunctional controls can be difficult to use as the multitude of buttons can be confusing A single function remote control is simpler to use but it means you have to have other remote controls for your other entertainment devices I think that a single function remote control would be preferable because it is easier to use It would be more compatible with a range of television sets making it more internationally sellable it will make an original design more obtainable as we have less functional necessities to include in the design And it would be more profitable as it would be more simplistic And less functions would have to be included So it would be cheaper to make And probably more sellable just because it is more compatible with a r a wider range of devices Does anyone have any questions ?
Marketing: So as far as we know a single function television remote control is us usable internationally ?
User Interface: Well it is just that when we are creating it we are we have to make it compatible with different brands of devices And it would be easier to make it compatible with just different brands of television devices rather than other ent
Project Manager: Does everyone agree with this ? Does anyone object and and find the multifunctional might be a better way to go ?
Industrial Designer: I was just wondering about the what what Genevieve said before about having like some hidden controls like having the outer casing And that would probably I d well well what you said before about it being a more profitable simplistic design I suppose having that would complicate it a lot more And limit the design Do you think ?
Marketing: I think I agree with the single design thing for now because we are trying to do so much that if we are trying to make a unique userfriendly dadada and it is also multi also multifunctional we are going to go over budget for one thing
User Interface: And with this we will have more room in the budget probably to make a more original design We will have more money to go into the design side of it | The user interface designer suggested two options of making the remote control functional. One way was to make it multi-functional, so as to be used for several entertainment devices. Another way was to make it single-functional, which could be used specifically for the television. The entire group preferred the product to be single-functional. It is because making an original design was more obtainable, and it would be more profitable as it would be more simplistic. They had to make it compatible with different brands of devices to sell internationally. |

the priest: And what was your sin?
a nun: I made a small lie to try to make someone feel better
the priest: And what was the lie?
a nun: Someone told them that they smelled had but I ensured them they didn't. They did though
the priest: Say your confessionary prayers then return to your work.
a nun: Ok I will but there is more. I'm afraid it might get me kicked out of the church though
the priest: What do you mean?
a nun: I saw a man and I desired him. I know that is wrong.
the priest: Did you do anything with that man?
a nun: No of course not. That is completely forbidden but I couldn't help my thoughts. Am I going to be banished?
the priest: Why would you be banished for just having thoughts? Desire is a natural part of being human. As long as you can control your feelings, and not act on them, you are not violating any church laws.
a nun: Because that man was you. I saw you in a different light yesterday

knight: You are a noble rodent. I will quickly assemble my men and we will try to surround them and overtake them. Do you know if they come from the East or the North?
mice: they are coming from north and they should be 1 day far from here by walk.
knight: We shall ride out and abandon out horses before we reach them and sneak up to surround them. I will have the king know who saved his kingdom. You must be rewarded!
mice: they won`t believe you if you tell them , you learn this from a mice. I am your friend and this is your reward , don`t mention me
knight: I understand. It is hard for men and mice to live side by side, but at least I will treat you like a king and will command my officers to leave the abandoned barn by the east gate alone so your fellow mice may live peacefully. I must go now! Here is the date for you to enjoy.

animal: Ah.... thank you, it will give me a second wind to get going again.
farmer: Here. I had to cut the daily meals from two to one because my money is running thin

Marketing: Mmhmm And so people say that they typically lose it as you yourself know because you probably lose your remote control all the time much like any small appliance like a cellphone and they we need something simple because most people well thirty four percent say that it is just too much time to learn how to use a new one and we do not want to go we do not want to vary too far from the normal standard remote | One thing they could do was to design a lost-and-found function to accommodate the user's need to retrieve the remote when it was lost. Another way was to give it a modern eye-catching design that could distinguish the new remote from current standard ones. Also, given that speech recognition was an up-and-coming thing among their target group, they could include this function in the remote, allowing users to control their devices by simply speaking to it. |

Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you Darren So item 2 then today is our first session on the provision of textbooks and learning resources for pupils which is a video of interviews with young people and teachers The committee team has been out to take video evidence around Wales and we are now going to watch the results of that on the screen Well I am sure that the committee would want me to place on record our thanks to the young people and the teachers who took part in that very helpful and informative video We will move on now then to our evidence session and I am very pleased to welcome Gareth Pierce chief executive of the WJEC Mike Ebbsworth assistant director educational support WJEC Philip Blaker chief executive of Qualifications Wales and Emyr George associate director general qualifications at Qualifications Wales So thank you all of you for attending and thank you for the papers that you provided in advance as well If you are happy we will go straight into questions now and if I can just start by asking you to outline what you see as your role in ensuring that students and teachers in Wales have the resources that they need to pass general qualifications and what you think the role of commercial publishers and Welsh Government is
Philip Blaker: Shall I start ? So Qualifications Wales is the regulator of the awarding bodies so we regulate awarding bodies Our powers are structured around the regulating of awarding bodies We do not regulate commercial publishers nor the provision of textbooks within that In regulating the awarding body our primary focus is also on the design of the qualifications and then the delivery of the assessment So it is much more around the assessment side than teaching resources That said when we are going through the design of the qualifications we go through an approval process so we develop approval criteria and we ask WJEC to submit their specifications against those approval criteria and sample assessment materials as well So our focus is very much on making sure that teachers are able through the sample assessment materials and the specifications to have a good understanding of what is going to be expected of them in the examinations and of their pupils in the examinations So that is setting out the knowledge skills and understandings that will be assessed by WJEC when those exams are sat We have in the past pulled together groups of people to look at issues like resources So during the last round of approvals we pulled together interested parties in Welsh Government regional consortia and WJEC to look at resources that would be available with a view to facilitating the discussion about who would be best placed to fill the gaps where there may be perceived to be gaps in resources Our other primary role is in maintaining standards So as the regulator of qualifications what we want to do is we want to make that the awards of qualifications—so the grades that people get—are fair One of the things we do is set out the way in which the awarding bodies will set grades—so the awarding process the methods that will be used—and then we monitor WJECs award of grades against those processes During a period of change we prescribe the use of comparable outcomes as the primary approach largely because comparable outcomes are designed for circumstances like this where there is a change in a specification particularly because there are any number of reasons including resources why performance may be different from one year to the next but comparable outcomes is there to ensure that all things being equal if the cohorts have the same ability the same grade should be awarded from one year to the next We do recognise that there have been delays in textbooks Much of that has been related to the timelines that we have all had to deliver new specifications against which have been far from ideal for everybody involved We think that particularly our role moving forward will be looking at the timelines for reforms that will be necessary for the new curriculum to make sure that this situation is not repeated and that there is sufficient time in future reforms to allow for greater system readiness In terms of the roles of others Welsh Government have a role at the moment in terms of grant funding of translation of materials into Welsh medium And there is through the common model at the moment—and this is a model that is common between England and Wales—a reliance on commercial publishers to provide textbooks Now that is something that probably needs to be looked at in the future in terms of potential different models for how that might be achieved and also potentially around a paradigm shift in what is expected of those materials So I think that sets out Qualification Waless position in particular
Gareth Pierce: Thank you very much The WJEC does provide what is required in a regulatory sense and there are two things there—the specification which tends to be very comprehensive in providing guidance in terms of drawing up a programme of teaching and also exemplar assessments which include marking and those go to the regulator before they are published So those samples go to the regulator The WJEC also do invest a great deal in resources that we produce digitally in both languages simultaneously Each new course has substantial teaching guidance which includes a great deal of useful information for teachers and pupils And we run a professional development programme for teachers that is free of charge when courses are new and then annually there is some charge for those events They are facetoface events or increasingly they are webinars The WJEC also encourages publishers to take an interest in providing textbooks We do not have a commercial agreement with publishers Indeed the regulations as they stand in Wales Northern Ireland and England preclude examination bodies from having commercial links with providers of textbooks but that is something that emerges from the threenation regime that existed in terms of qualifications So that is one point that we noted as something that needs to be considered for Wales as we move forward whether it would be possible— As we are not talking about examination boards competing with each other in Wales for GCSE and Alevels in passing that is something that I would want to suggest may deserve review We encourage publishers to take an interest At the moment these tend to be Englandbased—Hodder Education and Illuminate Education for example—and then the Welsh Government does provide funding to the WJEC to support the process of providing Welshlanguage versions for those textbooks So we use that funding to provide editorial support to the process and also to pay for translation costs and we give significant guidance in terms of terminology We have a language services team including excellent editors and translators within the WJEC and we work closely with external translators too and we use translation technology increasingly which facilitates a great many things Beyond that I think the WJEC does see the need for flexibility particularly when difficulties arise and you heard there of some of the methods used by Mike and others to get digital resources available earlier than the print versions And I should also note perhaps that as the WJEC is very much involved with stakeholders we feel that we do have a contribution to make in terms of ideas for the future | Qualification Wales was the regulator of the awarding bodies, mainly focusing on the design of the qualifications and the delivery of the assessment. They were also responsible for maintaining standards, making sure that the grades people got were fair through comparable outcomes. |
Rob: Hello everyone, I wanted to verify our yearly bonus situation. I hear you won't get one if you had to take sick leave?
Pat: What? Really?
Michael: Maybe they exceeded the "acceptable" quota?
Rob: I'm not sure... Looking for clarity here! I mean it would be quite extreme if that's the case.
Pat: Surely illegal?
Fran: Yes, I think I won't get mine because had to go to hospital for 10 days
Agatha: Hello everyone, let me shed some light on the issue: you have to work at least 270 days to get the bonus. That means you can take sick leave not exceeding 21 days. Hope it helps
Pat: Thank you! That's quite clear.
Fran: Thanks! Still feels a bit extreme though... | Agatha rectifies the information given by Rob that everyone who took a sick leave won't get a yearly bonus. In fact, the sick leave cannot exceed 21 days. |

Pat: Yeah, I don't think he likes us. No teacher does tbh :D | Alex and Pat don't have classes this Friday as Mr Nox is sick. |
#Person1#: The new webpage design is much more effective than before. I feel confident it will rope in a lot more business because of its user-friendly format.
#Person2#: Why do you think the new page is so much better than the old page? I thought the old page wasn't half bad. . .
#Person1#: The old page was okay, alright, but there wasn't a big influence in our sales volume, because the site wasn't developed with an eye towards the marketing aspect. Now it's different. We got our marketing department team in on the action, and the results are smashing. . .
#Person2#: What changes were made from the old page to the new page?
#Person1#: First, the visitors to the site are encouraged to give their contact information. They can sign up for a free monthly drawing. Once we've got their info, it goes into a database for future marketing mailers and advertising targeting. Also, there are clear links to descriptions of our products and services, so as to give confidence to new customers. We also added a specific area for on-line customer service. . . So far we've gotten a ton of positive feedback. . .
#Person2#: Great! | #Person1# tells #Person2# about the great changes and the advantages of their new webpage design. |

#Person1#: Peter, people around the world come to America to live, work and study, so to understand America in terms of its cultural differences is very important.
#Person2#: I couldn't agree with you more, Jack. Americans are much more assertive than most foreigners. For example, Americans begin a discussion with a focus on accomplishments and concrete facts.
#Person1#: You're right. America is a rather individualistic society, with less social pressure to conform. So you will need to become more assertive and to speak out on your own behalf.
#Person2#: Another aspect of American behavior is Americans are more guarded about personal space. So when you are talking to an American, don't stay too close. This personal distance is not due to body odor or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy that is out of proportion to the relationship at the moment.
#Person1#: Yes. Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking. Touching is a bit too intimate for casual acquaintances. So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary.
#Person2#: In many cultures, eye contact is a sign of disrespect, which is not the ease in America. In fact, it is an indication of openness, honesty, and enthusiasm. | Both Jack and Peter think understanding America in terms of its cultural differences is very important. Peter thinks Americans are much more assertive and more guarded about personal space than most foreigners. |

Larry: Hey, what did you write for the conclusion of your english essay?
Diana: The one on the Pygmalian?
Larry: yeah
Diana: haven't started it yet.
Larry: ok. what about the hemingway essay?
Diana: er, i think i wrote something along the lines of: "Throughout the book, it can be observed how the lost generation struggles to overcome their experience with the war"
Diana: then i listed a couple of examples
Diana: and THEN i compared those characters to Robert Cohn
Larry: not bad :)
Diana: then I think i ended it with:
Diana: "However, in the last few lines of the book, we can see a change in Jake Barnes, the narrator of the book. This is especially noticeable in when Lady Brett says: "... we could have had such a damn good time together." This quote suggests that Lady Brett is still focused on the events of the past, which prevents her from persuing happiness. Jake, on the other hand, replies "Yes, isn't it pretty to think so?" - a quote which suggests that he has accepted his past and is now looking towards the future.
Diana: It still needs a little polishing though :)
Larry: Has anyone ever told you that you're really good at this kind of thing? :)
Diana: I just pay attention and take notes. Sparknotes help ;)
Larry: yeah, i do too - it's just i can't seem write essays that well :(

Larry: one sec
Larry: We could chose between: "Compare and contrast the reasons for, the impact of, and foreign involvement in two of the following: the Russian Civil War, the Spanish Civil War and the Chinese civil war"
Larry: And "To what extent was the League of Nations failure to maintain peace in the inter-war period due to its inherent weaknesses?
Diana: which one are you gonna write about?
Larry: Probably the civil war one
Diana: good call! We've only just finished covering it in class! :)
Larry: that and I've been watching the avengers civil war recently ;)
Diana: isn't that the one with spidey?
Larry: Yeah, tom holland's great! :D

Grad A: Which one was that X pause G ? X pause G ?
PhD D: That s also where we store the The Hub five training set waveforms

PhD D: Oh that is XA Oh that s X
PhD C: Is not that XH ?
Grad E: I have a lot of space and it s not it s n There s very little not for long But I mean it s not going f
PhD D: Oh no I m sorry
Grad E: It s not being used often at all
PhD C: But I m using XH H too
Grad A: it s probably Probably only about four gig is on X on your X drive but we will definitely take it up if you
PhD D: I think you are right It s XH and D
Grad E: I think it s about four or five gig cuz I have four meetings on there
PhD D: The b I m also using DG I got that confused
Grad A: OK so that will get us through the next couple days
Professor B: We need We need another gigaquad There should I d There should just be a b I should have a button
Grad A: The `` more disk space `` button ?
Professor B: Just press Press each meeting saying `` we need more disk space `` `` this week `` Skip the rest of the conversation
PhD F: Well we ve collected so far something like sixty five meetings
Professor B: And And how much does each meeting take ?
PhD F: And it s about a gig uncompressed
PhD C: It s It s a little bit more as I usually do not do not uncompress the all of the PZM and the PDA things
PhD F: Is a little more ? Right so if you uncompressed everything it s even more
PhD C: It s One point five or something
PhD F: YOU compressed how much are they ? Like
Grad A: Half a gig For all of them
PhD F: So we are definitely are storing you know all of those So there s what thirty some gig of just meetings so far ?
Professor B: So so So maybe there s a hundred pause gig or something Or I mean Cuz we we have the uncompressed around also
PhD F: Right Well we We have not uncompressed all the meetings but
Professor B: Well I mean it s the they really are cheap I mean it s just a question of figuring out where they should be and hanging them but But we could You know if you want to get four disks get four disks I mean it s it s small I mean these things ar are just a few hundred dollars
PhD F: Well I sent that message out to I guess you and Dave asking for if we could get some disk I s I sent this out a a day ago
Grad A: And put it where ?
PhD F: but and Dave did not respond so I don I do not know how the whole process works I mean does he just go out and get them and if it s OK and So I was assuming he was going to take over pause that But he s probably too busy given that he s leaving
Professor B: I think you need a direct conversation with him And just say an e just ask him that you know wha what should you do And in my answer back was `` are you sure you just want one ? `` So I mean I think pause that what you want to do is plan ahead a little bit and figure `` well here s what we pi figure on doing for the next few months ``
Grad A: Wa a I know what they want The sysadmins would prefer to have one external drive per machine So they do not want to stack up external drives pause And then they want everything else in the machine room So the question is where are you going to hang them ?
PhD F: Mm I do not know what the space situation is in the machine room
Professor B: Right So this is a question that s pretty hard to solve without talking to Dave
PhD F: I think part of the reason why Dave can not get the the new machines up is because he does not have room in the machine room right now
PhD D: One One On One thing to in to t to do when you need to conserve space is
PhD F: So he has to re arrange a bunch of stuff
PhD D: I bet there are still some old like nine gig disks around and you can probably consolidate them onto larger disks and and you know recover the space
Professor B: No I think Dave Dave knows all these things of course An and so he always has a a lot of plans of things that he s going to do to make things better in many ways an and runs out of time
Grad A: But I I know that pause generally their first priority has been for backed up disk And so I think what he s been concentrating on is the back the pause back up system rather than on new disk
Professor B: Well So But this this is a very specific question for me Basically we can easily get pause one to four disks I mean you just go out and get four and we ve got the money for it it s no big deal but the question is where they go and I do not think we can solve that here you just have to ask him
PhD D: Maybe we can put some disks in the in that back room there To the machine that collects the data So then you could at least temporarily store stuff there
Grad A: it s just It s not on the net so it s a little pause awkward
PhD D: What do you mean it s not on the net ?
Grad A: It s behind lots of fire walls that do not allow any services through except S S
PhD D: Oh because it s because it s an ACIRI machine ?
Grad A: And also on the list is to get it into the normal ICSI net but Who knows when that will happen ?
PhD D: But that can not be that hard
PhD F: That might be a good short term solution though
Grad A: No the the problem with that apparently is that they do not currently have a wire running to that back room pause that goes anywhere near one of the ICSI routers So they actually have to run a wire somewhere
Professor B: e again you know any one of these things is certainly not a big deal If there was a person dedicated to doing it they would happen pretty easily but it s it s jus every ever everybody everybody has a has
Grad A: But Dave has to do all of them
Professor B: Well all of us have long lists of different things we are doing But at any rate I think that there s a there s a longer term thing and there s immediate need and I think we need a a conversation with maybe maybe after after tea or something you and I can go down and and talk to him about it Just say `` wha you know what should we do right now ? ``
PhD F: How long is David going to be gone ?
Professor B: eleven days or something ? basically tomorrow and all of pause the week after
Grad A: And that s all I have
Professor B: Let s see The only oth thing other thing I was going to add was that I talked briefly to Mari and we had both been busy with other things so we have not really connected that much since the pause last meeting we had here but we agreed that we would have a telephone meeting the Friday after next And I I I wanted to make it after the next one of these meetings so something that we want to do next meeting is is to put together a kind of reasonable list for ourselves of what is it that we ve done I mean just sort of bulletize I mean o e do do I can I can dream up text but pause this is basically going to lead to the annual report So pause If w
Grad A: This is the fifteenth ? So just a week from tomorrow ?
Professor B: So we can This So that s an
PhD D: Is this got to be in the morning ? Or Because you know I Fridays I have to leave like around two So if it could be before that would be be
Professor B: No no but I I I do not need other folks for the meeting I can do it A A All I m saying is that on
PhD D: Oh OK alright Oh I m sorry I misunderstood
Professor B: so what I meant was on the me this meeting pause if I wa something I I I m making a major thing in the agenda is I want to help in getting together a list of what it is that we ve done so I can tell her | The participants learned that the storage disks had eventually arrived. They were waiting on the disks to be installed. Grad E volunteered storage space on their own computer for the meantime. The meetings were around 1.5 gigs uncompressed and .5 gigs compressed. So, the group needed substantial space. The professor encouraged the team members to talk to Dave, the person responsible for managing the organization's storage systems, and figure things out. |
