their family: I do not know. It may just do what a dragon is meant to do.
genie: Ok since you are unable to help me distinguish the dragons motives, I can only offer some magic to make your village invisible to him. The magic will only be temporary. It will last 3 days at most. You will have to figure out the dragons motives during those 3 days in order for me to figure out what will prevent him from returning permanently
their family: Thank you Genie, I'm sure that will be plenty of time.
genie: Take this pipe and blow the smoke around your village it will prent the dragon from seeing anything is there
their family: I will do that right now.
genie: Remember Genies like myself grant wishes. I have only learned magic while locked in this safe room. The next time you need help come to this room rub the lamp 3 times and wish for what your heart desires.

genie: I love helping people. Let me know how well the pipe works and dont forget what I said about the lamp.

weddings: Ah-go tell a joke or juggle some balls jester, you wouldn't know what fun is, you are just a puppet for all the guests to laugh at, you should try it sometime.
town jester: A jester I am, that much is true. But a genuine warning you should not misconstrue. A special day is no playground for you! Tis thievery, that's what you do!
weddings: I take nothing, there is always too much food at those gatherings, it just goes to waste. There is no harm in celebrating with people, lighten up good man.
town jester: Lighten up! Lighten up! Said the thief to the joker! Your excuse, good sir, is quite mediocre! But take no offense, said the joker to the thief. You can eat your sins with a side of stolen beef!

king: I agree - I daresay, free medicare for all? It would pay for itself in the long run don't you think? Peasants spend less time being sick, plagues are harder to spread - don't have to worry about choosing between treating their child or their cow? Has potential?
person: The upfront cost will be quite demanding on your personal riches, your majesty. Are you prepared to sacrifice the life of absolute luxury that past monarchs have enjoyed?
king: As I said, the ways of the past are behind us - these luxuries serve no use if people are starving in the streets. What is a King without silks? Still a King. Without furs? Still a King, Without a people? Nothing.
person: You've truly enlightened my mind, sir. The kingdom will surely grow stronger and more prosperous than ever under your rule.

Helen Mary Jones AM: I think Chair the Minister has already answered what the— But thinking just a little bit more broadly about the mental health and wellbeing of staff and learners across a range of educational settings or indeed young people who can not access educational settings what considerations are you giving to how that mental health and wellbeing might be supported through what is an incredibly difficult time for everyone ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Yes that is correct So our expectation would be that during a prolonged period of closure—which I think if we are honest we have to acknowledge is what we are looking at—we would expect school staff—wellbeing staff for instance in school—to be doing checkins—phone checkins potentially or FaceTime checkins with students just to keep in touch with them as we go forward We will be looking to promote amongst young people a range of online facilities that are available—so for instance Meic website—so looking to use a variety of platforms We do of course have the formal NHS counselling services I am concerned of course that for some children their access to their counsellor is via their school We know that and we are just double checking the capacity of online counselling that already exists—online counselling tools that children already use because they do not want to go to the counsellor in the school and be seen in the school corridor going to the counsellor They are already using those online methods and we expect to be able to continue as far as possible those kinds of mechanisms where children can have their mental health needs and their questions answered and their worries I think we have to remember that this is a really worrying time for children and young people One of the reasons again that we wanted to keep schools going as long as possible—and teachers have been working so hard to do that—is because that routine of going into school and that normality is one that we have needed and wanted to maintain Children will have worries about their own health they will have worries about the health of their parents and their grandparents they will be consuming potentially media and news stories that have empty supermarket shelves So we need to understand and I think we will also have to recognise that this support will have to be ongoing once we are back to normal and we will have to continue to look to support children in the longer term who will have lived through this experience They are incredibly resilient and they have been the champions of some of our public health messages They are so much better and so much more compliant on the whole washing your hands and things like that than even adults have been So they are incredibly resilient but we also have to recognise that it can be a really worrying time for them
Helen Mary Jones AM: Can I just— ? Just a supplementary to that—you have mentioned already Kirsty the importance of youth services and particularly thinking voluntarily youth services you have given the commitment when were talking about Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin earlier that services that are partfunded by grants through the Welsh Government for example thinking of the national youth voluntary service—will those be able to be maintained even if settings have had to be shut as well ? Obviously local authorities will have to make their own decisions about whether youth settings are kept open but in terms of the direct support from Welsh Government can organisations that receive it rely on that through this time ?
Kirsty Williams AM: No formal decision has been made but if people are in receipt of a Government grant from my department to run a service and that service can no longer run because of the public—
Helen Mary Jones AM: Because it is not safe
Kirsty Williams AM: —because it is not safe to do so I do not foresee that we will be turning around and saying We will have our money back thank you very much
Helen Mary Jones AM: That will make a lot of people happy thank you Laughter
Kirsty Williams AM: As I said we are facing unprecedented circumstances The normal rules of engagement have to change and those organisations we will need them to be providing youth services for children when we are back to normal and we would not want to do anything that would undermine their ability to do that Our call to the youth service is a call to arms though When we are trying to maintain services for vulnerable children and for frontline staff children they have a valuable role to play and I know that local government and the Council for Wales of Voluntary Youth Services are already in discussion about how youth services— Many of our youth services work on an outreach basis Those traditional youth clubs because of austerity are not necessarily there anymore so they are well used to being out and about and doing outreach work and they will have an important part to play in the services that we talked about earlier
|
According to Kirsty, this was a really worrying time for children and young people. For schools and institutions, they had the formal NHS counselling services to the check-ins. They were concerned that for some children, their access to their counselling was via their school. They knew that and they were just double checking the capacity of online counseling that already existed - online counselling tools that children already used because they did not want to go to the counsellor in the school and be seen in the school corridor going to the counsellor.

User Interface: yep so I think one of the really kind of useful things you can do with with internet connectivity would be to have this a programme driven interface rather than the channel number So if we can have a higher priced remote control I think that would really be worth something that would be worth implementing mm there is the LCD screen which maybe maybe is too expensive but I think also at the scroll wheel I have not mentioned it here the scroll wheel could be used without an LCD screen just for changing channel numbers easily I think even that I mean that would be a fairly cheap thing compared to an LCD screen to implement but I think that would be quite useful as well And the other thing you say we need to we need to keep it just television but I think one maybe one option since this is supposed to be a kind of a fashionable device is you know there is a certain kind of cool or wow factor that you can kind of you can have with technology and maybe we want to make it something that is extensible to do other tasks Say you have like a little another little kind of base unit that can also receive signals as well as the television where you can say change the lighting in the room You know that would be something maybe you could sell as an extra so that it does not have to be part of the initial development but you know later on you could you can you know you also selling the potential of the device Then you say potentially you can then do other cool stuff like change the lights I do not know close the windows whatever turn the heating on and I think that is something we may need to have as as at least as an optional extra to to kind of make our product cool since we say we are putting the fashion in electronics
Project Manager: thanks you want to go ?
Industrial Designer: So most of the things which we are discussing about is speech recognition that means on my own I
Project Manager: Great No not that one you are two
Industrial Designer: so the working design is user i interface could be of two types one is the usual press buttons which are there so that the user feels that he is knoing doing some he is knowing about that technology So he is pretty comfortable if he wants to get this and on top of that there there could be a speech recognition technology also being sitting on the on the remote So the old kind of users who do not want to have any changes it can it can be useful for them and the new users as our Marketing Expert was saying they can use the new gizmo which is speech recognition kind of thing
Project Manager: sorry to interrupt you but we have seen before that there is a new way of interacting that use wheel
Industrial Designer: That is right So anyway that did not come into my mind so th that is a possibility These could be other kind of interfaces Means we can have depending on the cost how much we can afford we can have different kind of interfaces So spe buttons are something which is very everybody is familiar with So if you go to the market and you say that buttons are there the people know what it is and on top of that if we are having extra functionality people are willing to she will that twentyfive Euros money which we are thinking Otherwise we are just like others in the market So anyway that is the first user interface could be of more than one type and that means we can do the online changes which which can not be done now actually So apart from the speech we can have the scroll kind of thing with the buttons Now for buttons normal requirements like bit coding and all those things are required And for voice limited vocabulary automatic speech recognition system is required and we require a microphone also to be sitting there on the remote
Project Manager: That increases the the cost also
Industrial Designer: that is right But means we have to see how much what kind of microphones and stuff like that
Project Manager: Do you think that performance of such systems are enough to to target well of such technologies is enough ?
Industrial Designer: yes if it is limited vocabulary usually it is enough we we can target means we can target ninety five percent accuracy or somewhere ninety seven perc
Project Manager: Well wh I imagine also that the microphone will be an ambiance a an ambience microphones because you are not going to speak into into th into the remote control
Industrial Designer: That is right No it it could be little d it could be
Project Manager: So it could be s a few centimetres
User Interface: Well one one other thing that that speech recognition could really blow out the price for is when you want to sell into other markets though
Industrial Designer: That is right That is right
User Interface: because I am not sure exactly where we are going to sell this but I presume it is not going to just be English speaking countries So then you have to s you know you have to train models for
Industrial Designer: Mmhmm mmhmm it is more like means there are different speech technologies which are existing so DTW could be kind of which is the easiest So you have to store some templates on the on the on the chip itself and it is just dynamic time warping where you try to find out what it is instead of having a model which has to be trained and being a microcontroller
Project Manager: we shou we should discuss this la later after after after this this slide This is a this is a this is a a very important issue in discussion
Industrial Designer: So we can That is right Yep So will you go to the next slide ? so this is the design which we are thinking so We are having a power button and the switch which is not much and then we are having the which is to indicate whether the power is on or not And then there are two kind of things which can be so one is the button interface which has not been shown because because of lack of time So we could not put that So now where the ASR decoder is sitting similarly there are different kind of interfaces which could be there So there is ASR decoder which could be there and then there could be another scroll button scroll scroller and then there could be buttons and all of them they will just do the decoding and put it in the math put it in the proper message format And then there is there is the chip which is sitting the green one and it converts it into bit codes and that bit codes are sent by the infrared device to the receiver So this is the easiest design the there could be So th an ASR decoder we can have things in To have different technologies So this was the my personal preference was that we can have ASR sitting there on the remote control
User Interface: You know I guess you could actually train the remote control as you are using it by saying you know turn volume up and you press the press the button like s people teach sign language to kids f well by speaking and doing
Industrial Designer: but as soon as you try to put the microchip kind of thing or something the price will go up So these are the slight problems
Project Manager: So your your opinion is that we should go for special condition technologies ?
Industrial Designer: Because the reason is that if we go into the market means though I do not have much idea but as he the Marketing Expert presentation was
Marketing: I am sure if you can sell a a speech recognition remote control for twenty five Euros everyo everyone will s will buy it
User Interface: Actually I am not so sure
Industrial Designer: So if we go with just the
User Interface: you know if I was using a remote control to say turn the volume up because I can not hear it very well I do not really want to you know drown out what people are saying by talking you know when I am when I am instead of pressing up on on a remote control You know if there is some there is some dialogue all of a sudden that I can not hear I am trying to actually find out what is being said so maybe speech recognition gets in the way more than it helps
Marketing: but you know the the average frequency of pushing buttons it is about
User Interface: Well it depends if it is a remote control th
Marketing: it is about eighty eighty eighty pushes per hour or something like that
User Interface: Maybe if the remote control is something that y you do not actually have to pick up anymore that would be a a useful feature of the speech recogntion If you can leave it sitting on the table and you do not actually have to find it then that could be
Industrial Designer: Mmhmm Mmhmm Mmhmm Mmhmm Mmhmm Mmhmm
Project Manager: gentlemens we have to take some deci decisions right now so if I if I kind of summarise everything we have de we we said We are targeting TV We need we need to have remote control which is fanc fancy which is which is easy to to hand not too small not too big we have
Marketing: With a good shape for the
Project Manager: or good shape yes We should bring new technologies for young peoples and as we have also requirements to to use to to push thr toward the internet Maybe this is something we can stick to it And also a very interesting things I I I have seen on on on the one of the comp o our competitor is this wheel that we can use to navigate So so my feeling is that re regarding costs budget we have an an an target price it is not possible to go s to go to LCD and also to go to automatic speech recognition technologies first m m why not to go to LCD Because in fact as we are targeting TV in fact we can use TV screen as a screen to feedback to to give some feedback informations about what we could have
|
User Interface suggested that the scroll wheel could be used without an LCD screen for changing channel numbers easily. And it would be fairly cheap to implement compared to an LCD screen. Project Manager mentioned that, however, they had seen that there was a new way of interacting that used wheels to navigate. So Project Manager suggested that regarding the cost budget they had a target price, their design could stick to new technologies that bring to young people.

#Person1#: Hi! What are you watching?
#Person2#: It's a programme about Islam. It's very interesting.
#Person1#: Wow! So many people! Where are they and what are they doing?
#Person2#: They are muslims on a pilgrimage to mecca. Muslims call this pilgrimage haj.
#Person1#: Why do they go there?
#Person2#: Muslims believe that every man who is able should go on a haj at least once in his life. Mecca is the spiritual centre of the muslim faith.
#Person1#: When muslims pray, they face towards mecca.
#Person2#: That's right. Unfortunately, so many people go on the haj each year that there are often stamped and people get killed.
#Person1#: I heard about that. The pilgrims must walk around a large, sacred black stone.
#Person2#: That's right. That's when accidents often happen. The Saudi government tries to limit the number of pilgrims, to reduce the chances of accidents.
#Person1#: Pilgrimages are common in many faiths.
#Person2#: Yes. In England, Christian pilgrims might go to Canterbury and many Christians go to the Vatican on pilgrimages.
#Person1#: Isn't there a place in france where people go to get healed?
#Person2#: I think that place is Lourdes. There are many stories of people being healed after visiting there.
#Person1#: Do you think that there is something magical about that place?
#Person2#: Personally. I think that people believe they will be healed and that faith causes a change in their mind that cures them. I don't think place is magical in any way.

janitor: You're right. I shouldn't let it bother me. Our bodies are God's creations anyways.
priest: And you've somehow managed to become a janitor at a bath. How did you decide upon this career, if nudity embarrasses you so?
janitor: I usually clean after hours to avoid glancing at any man using the baths.
priest: Oh? And is there a reason for such an aversion? You can speak your confessions upon my ears, my son. You're in a bathing room full of holy men - there will be no secrets spilled from the building.
janitor: Okay, I confess. When I see a naked man, I start to develop strange feelings inside me of. Sinful feelings.
priest: This job must stir many sinful thoughts within you. How do you suppress the desires?

Lynne Neagle AM: Thank you We heard in the video that teachers are spending a lot of their time actually translating materials What is your view on that as a good use of teachers time in Wales ?
Gareth Pierce: I think the question of translation is an interesting one There was talk about pupils translating and teachers translating I think perhaps we need to understand what causes the need for that because as I mentioned earlier there are so many resources available digitally in both languages at the same time Perhaps an interesting question is : is that source useful for teachers being able to draw resources from two sources ? Another interesting question I think is— The Welsh language of course is a language that is used in an educational context but we are in a big world that is an English language world I am very aware that many of the websites we refer to in our resources and many of the case studies as was mentioned in that video—they are available in English only Therefore I think another interesting question is : can we discover what those additional resources are that are worth translating ? And certainly it would be very unfortunate if there were a dozen Welshmedium schools for example translating material from the same website independently of each other If there are a few websites or a few case studies in this big external digital world that are worth translating should not we able to source those early ? Because I do not think it is a good use of teachers time But I also think that the use of both languages is an interesting one What is the vision in terms of teaching in a Welshmedium class in particular perhaps in the Alevel classes ? I am sure that some teachers feel that there is a way of enriching the teaching by referring to terms in both languages as well as explaining those terms in their own language But the impression I got from the video was that there was quite a lot of mechanical translating happening and perhaps there is a need to understand more of the context
Llyr Gruffydd AM: Just to pick up on your point on the additional materials whose role would it be to asses this or to take that overview and then to respond to the demand ?
Gareth Pierce: Mike in the WJEC has conversations about resources in the team he is part of
Mike Ebbsworth: Yes That is extremely important—to identify as Gareth has just said those materials that need to be translated and not everything needs to We have made a lot of use recently of speaking with teachers and the consortia and ensuring then that we are focusing on those things that need that attention
|
Gareth Pierce was aware that many websites they referred to in their resources and many case studies were purely in English, while it was the Welsh language that was used in the educational context. Gareth Pierce believed it was very unfortunate for different schools to translate materials independently from each other, concluding that it would be necessary to translate materials in both languages to enable teachers to refer to terms in both languages.

#Person1#: Stephanie! Did you just get to school? But you were up and about when I left the dorm this morning! That was about an hour and a half ago. This happens all the time! Why do you always take so long
#Person2#: It's a skill. What can I say? I don't know why, I just have a long routine.
#Person1#: Please explain because it makes no sense to me. How can a girl's routine be so complicated? You get up, you shower, you get dressed, you brush your teeth, you're out the door. Half an hour, tops.
#Person2#: Jacob, you have the luxury of having a haircut that rarely needs styling. I don't. I have to set aside about an hour and a half to get ready in the mornings. Every day, I wake up and head straight for the shower. Every second day, I wash my hair. If it's a hair-washing day, I frequently need to wash my hair twice because it gets really oily. Then I usually put in a conditioner and have to rinse that out too. Because my hair is so long, I seldom manage to take a shower in under twenty minutes. Afterwards, I often put on a pot of coffee and get dressed while I wait for it to brew. I take a long time to get dressed in the morning. Every now and then I remember to choose my outfit the night before, but usually I do it in the morning. In all, getting dressed takes about half an hour, at which time my hair is now semi-dry so then I have to style my hair. From time to time I'll put my hair up, butoften times I bloody it straight. And then, because of the texture of my hair, I regularly have to flat-iron it to keep it from frizzing. That's another twenty minutes or so. After that, I have my daily makeup routine.
#Person1#: True, I hardly ever see you without your hair done and your makeup on, even when you show up to class in sweatpants. Tell me, how long does it take you to choose that outfit in the morning?
#Person2#: Not funny.
|
Jacob thinks it incredible that Stephanie takes so much time in preparation before going out in the morning and asks Stephanie to explain. Stephanie tells Jacob her morning routine in detail. Jacob makes fun of her routine.

mysterious owner: No! I was working on that for the last ten days! You ought to clean that mess up now.
owner: I'm ever so sorry - but from the smell, maybe you should have worked a bit harder? Just a bit?
mysterious owner: Perhaps its could've done with some fine tuning. Say, we should clean up this shop. Far too many redundant scrolls hanging around here.
owner: Yes - let us hide the "scrolls of loudspeaking" in the back shall we? The young ones have far too much fin with those.
mysterious owner: Yes, I think we might just. Lets replace them with the scrolls of silent speak. We might trick one or two folks with that!
owner: I like how your minds thinks! Also - we should probably keep the scrolls of irritable bowels apart from the scrolls of stomach relief.
mysterious owner: That is quite marvelous! But I fear people might not take too kindly to it! Or the soldiers at the very least.
owner: Yes, though ever since they bought our entire lot of love potions, things have been a bit quieter lately.

#Person1#: Now, Mrs. Franks, I just like to read your statement back to you, and then you can write your name on it.
#Person2#: Fine.
#Person1#: I was standing in front of the Second National Bank building at about 8:50 am, I saw a small red car heading for the cross roads of Churchill Avenue, and York Road, it was coming towards me along Churchill Avenue at about 40 miles per hour. The traffic lights on York Road changed to green, and a delivery lorry began to move forward at about 5 miles per hour. The driver of the car probably didn't see that his traffic light has changed from orange to red, and ran into the side of the lorry.
#Person2#: That's correct.
