fairy: I was created to be tiny and with wings. It is simply just who I am.
people: And it makes no sense! Why create something small when you could create it to be large instead?
fairy: Not everything needs to be the same, does it?
people: No, but tiny things are the worst. No offense.
fairy: How so? I can go highly unnoticed in many situations. I am sneaky too. I can wedge into things you would never be able to fit into.
people: Yes, only to spy on people. That hardly makes you the trustworthy sort does it?
fairy: I do not really spy on people, so no.
people: Then why did you say you were sneaky?
fairy: Because I can do anything and go unnoticed. Sure, I have spied for the royals once in my life, but sometimes I like to sneak food. Oh, I love those truffles they serve, but they are always a wee bit out my budget.
people: And you just said you never spied on people! My bias against all things tiny has only been reinforced!

prisoner: I don't know nothing about that...I just farm! Grew turnips this year, good year for turnips
agricultural advisor: The numbers don't lie; there is a large difference between your land's yield and the land of your neighbors. Have you an idea why?
prisoner: Maybe they should have planted more turnips...
agricultural advisor: They DID plant turnips.
prisoner: I don't know what you want me to say! I don't have a clever answer I just need to get home
agricultural advisor: I understand. And I need to know where your surplus came from.
prisoner: Last winter we had late rainstorms. Meant we couldn't go to the market in Oxpool, road was all mudded up. Lots of turnips to store, filled the whole cellar. I haven't eaten so many turnips in my life. And we had more to plant in the spring. It's the only thing I can think of
agricultural advisor: If these records are correct, you delivered fresh turnips. How could they have been fresh from last winter?

#Person1#: Hello? Ms. Patterson? This is Bill from Workmate calling. I'm just wondering if you had a chance to look over the estimate I sent for your gala dinner project next month. . . As I said in my email, we can help you with production according to your needs, but we will only be able to give insite management support services on a limited basis.
#Person2#: Oh, yes. I reviewed your estimate. But it seems like the project blueprint you sent with the estimate is not quite what we had in mind. Did you get a copy of the specs for this project?
#Person1#: Yes, I have several copies, but they're all different versions. . . The latest I have is version 12, is that current?
#Person2#: No. Later we decided to opt for the prior outline, version 7.
#Person1#: Hold on, let me pull up your version 7 requirements. . . Oh yes, no wonder our estimate is a little different from what you had in mind. I see the version 7 also includes 6 additional hostesses and a cocktail self-serve bar that wasn't in the version 12. That will definitely add to your cost on this project. . .

Ms. Patterson finds Bill's estimate for the gala dinner project is not quite what they had in mind. Bill finds that Ms. Patterson decided to opt for version 7 but Bill used version 12. Bill will fix it.

Marketing: Mm But if people are buying a new remote control for functionality they will buy a universal remote I have got friends who have got so many things they need a universal remote otherwise they are using five different remotes for their all their things In that case they would not buy our product because it does not give them what they need in terms of functionality
Project Manager: So your you think we should go for a more you universal highperformance
Marketing: Well we can not with the price range We We are not building a universal remote we are not building a high end product
Project Manager: What do What do you think about What componen
Industrial Designer: we have twelve point five Euros per per R s RC and I think with this now you know that chips are very cheaps and we can include it in our control some new new features
Marketing: But If we are getting into universal remote territory we are getting to LCD screens and things like that which would drive the cost up a lot
Project Manager: I do not know I do not know whether that is necessary
Industrial Designer: I do not think LCD is not necessary well th for long term
Project Manager: I think thi this could be this could be a market because universal remote controls tend to be quite expensive
Marketing: And quite complicated to use
Project Manager: S so we can try to go in between and offer a product which is not as expensive and not as complicated
Marketing: Mmhmm Not as flexible maybe but s
Project Manager: but but still but still people have the idea this is more functional than a normal RC because it has more it it is in some kind universal
Marketing: But if we are going for the say fifteen to twenty five age group then not many of them would actually own TVs to use a remote control on
Project Manager: Mm yes but w we are targeting I think on more on the on the twenty to forty group People yes Who just have or already have a job and have the money but may not want to spend that much money on a on a universal universal control
Marketing: Mmhmm Mmhmm Yep I do not know really what the the price range for remote controls is Are we going to be at the very bottom of the price range or are we kind of middle to bottom ? I do not know
Project Manager: I think when we think it over I thi I think we are trying to offer the a kind of universal control for for less money So d Do you agree ?
User Interface: Well Well I it is fine with me like the price as long as it is not too expensive and it d Our provin
Industrial Designer: because we have to take into account that we are going to b we are going to sell four aro around four million so when we speak about these numbers the price of a chip is price of a chip is very cheap So I am for designing a ne less a a kind of universal RC
Project Manager: Mmhmm You think it is possible for the twelve Euro fifty ? so then we we decide on on on going to this more universal kind of control
User Interface: that is that is what we needed basically that is needed right now And basically you can look to the standards of other
Industrial Designer: And if we want to get the market we really need that
Marketing: So I guess what I would like from a universal remote is maybe choosing between three devices being able to switch between them there may be stereo VCR and TV And just be able to s use them all from the same remote but not at the same time
|
When Marketing first touched on the idea of a universal remote, she quickly rebutted herself, arguing that a high-end product was not achievable with a tight budget. However, Project Manager said that the group could make an attempt to provide a basic version of universal control, which could switch between stereo, VC, and TV. Thus, the group agreed to give universal remote a try and see if they could design a cheap one within budget.

ancient king: But at what price? Who wanders around helping the fallen and expecting nothing in return?
angel: Why no price at all! You need help, and I would love to help. If only this world was filled with more love, it would just make me so happy.
ancient king: I remain skeptical. I've been on this world long enough to know nobody does anything out of the kindness of their heart. So what's your price? Money? Fame? My soul?
angel: Well if you require a price for my help, I'll set it at a single hug. Yes that will do.
ancient king: Again, I remain skeptical, but my choice is either to die or accept your help. Whom do you serve?
angel: I serve the big man up in the sky of course. I can assure you I mean no ill harm towards you my friend, I am simply an angel who is good at heart.
ancient king: But why save a man like me? I have certainly done little to please your master in my lifetime. I guess I shall remain in his debt, perhaps that is price. Where will your travels take you next?

prisoner: I didn't have anything to do with it! The guards already searched my cottage. I've only ever laid eyes on her once or twice at market
the king: I control your destiny. You best tell me all you know.
prisoner: Please, just tell me what you want to know. I'm not sly, I don't have any clever plans i just want to get home
the king: Where were you when she was killed?
prisoner: If it's not market day I'm out on the river! Dawn to dusk!
the king: Who can vouch for it?
prisoner: I sail up and past Maggie Frost's house on the point. She might have seen me!
the king: I believe you. But I don't like you.
prisoner: Does ... does that mean I can go?

villager: That's quite humble of a man of your power.
royal: So what brings you here
villager: I come out here all the time to just take in the pure nature and openness. Helps with my perspective on life.
royal: That is nice i can really use some company.So what do you think of our current state as a country
villager: I think that the average poor villager is not represented enough and that the decisions are a little bit too skewed in the royal family's favor!
royal: If you were in my shoes what could you have done to improve the current situation or what could be changed
villager: Make the vote of the common people more significant when you are making decisions.
royal: Lately i have been doubtful of myself and given the fact that i have been tasked to decide the fate of my country and people so i will take your proposal into consideration
villager: Well if that's the case then I am rather hopeful that this country will improve soon.

Project Manager: back to this meeting we are down to the prototype presentation
User Interface: well you see each made one we did not have enough yellow dough This is the one that I made It is curved easy to hold handheld nice and small with big easy buttons This is like a scroll but they are push buttons and they enter takes you into the different menus Of course we need someone who is experienced with the television I mean this is the infrared thing that is going to zap at the television I am not quite sure how to make that but I am sure it will work this is on off switch because I think we do need that and I think it gives it a nice balance And it is going to have the logo imprinted on it in there as for what it is actually made of well the function of these buttons is up down left and right in the different menus position I presume that just means right right on it easy to see The main feature of it is just a simple design simple lack of buttons all over the place Right ? Form curved kind of smooth handheld makes it feel nice to hold material I think Kates going to tackle that quite a bit but I think we have two different options because we did make a another one which wa is in the shape of banana it is just if you can imagine this as yellow with black buttons like just like this but in the shape of a banana which is also nice and easy to hold and feels good and has a similar sort of scroll push button technology just a slightly different design Also with on off switch and infrared I had envisioned it in hard smooth plastic So like well I do not know what is it like ? I guess like an existing remote control but molded and smooth Whereas otherwise we would thought like with this one or mix and match just we were going to see what you thought the a more spongy rubber cover with spongy buttons So we have the two options we can follow either the smooth hard plastic or the spongy rubber depending on cost restraints And what we well what conclusion we reach when we discuss it material that is what I have to say about material Can I scroll down on there and see what else Well colour I think I definitely have a preference towards bright yellow with black buttons because that is the company colours but if anybodys got any other suggestions I am quite willing to consider them as well So it just depends what you think about these ideas and if I am maybe Kate you better say what you think about them
Industrial Designer: well I do not have very much to add the the case oops that is the on off button just come off our prototype The the case can be either spongy rubber or hard plastic We are not absolutely sure about a combination of the two but it can be either of those We have the technology to do that and as for the the actual components Steph just said this is a quite a cheap device to manufacture We have simple rubber push buttons which provide all the functionality we need the the diode that actually does the infrared is at the end it is the stalk of the banana or it is just the thing at the end of this version so that is for material Colour well Stephs the expert on colour we we do not have any particular restrictions on that I think that is all we have got to say really
User Interface: I thin as for as for the fruit or organic theme I guess this one is obviously fruit shaped This one has n banana This one has no obvious connections to fruit but because it is round and molded it kind of makes you think sort of organic touchyfeely kiddie it is more like you would expect it to be like a childs sorta toy remote control instead of a real one which I quite like that sort of image Because it is very big and chunky and childfriendly and
Industrial Designer: Would you care to examine the prototypes see how they feel in the hand ?
User Interface: Hold them you see you know Curvature is it to your liking ?
Project Manager: Oh I see the onoffs in the back
Industrial Designer: Yes that is so that your index finger automatically goes straight to it
User Interface: If you do not want to tire out your thumbs after all
Project Manager: And then you can use your thumb
Industrial Designer: And it was partly we thought the design looked better
Project Manager: I could see this thing unless it is reinforced having a problem with the you know
User Interface: oh right Well you see that is why hard plastic would be quite a good thing for it because then it would just be rigid
Marketing: I like the fact that on both of them the keys play such a prominent role
User Interface: we really like we really like that design
Marketing: It is really kind of a
User Interface: I mean it looks just like a logo that arrangement of the keys Like a c like a compass point you know just up down left and right and we think we could make that quite a good feature And it is like the the iPod scroll wheel but better
Marketing: But it is also like texting
User Interface: I mean it that is what it makes me think of mobile phones I was try I was thinking moving your thumb like this what does that remind me of ?
Industrial Designer: And it is a very simple design there is not a lot to wrong the components are cheap to make
Marketing: It is also in terms of being lost it is it is quite it looks quite different You know I I d I have several four remotes and they all look the same until you get up close and you have to you know this is really identifiable
User Interface: I mean the thing is we do need to develop our technology of I mean actually how to program the menus and what sort of you know text box is going to appear at the bottom of the screen but we do definitely think that it is a viable option
Project Manager: The next item is evaluation if that is if you are finished
|
User Interface first summarized the propotype of the remote control discussed before. The remote control should be curved, easy to hold, nice and small with big buttons. Those buttons were a scroll and some push buttons. The body of the remote control shall be smooth plastic or spongy rubber with yellow and black buttons. The remote control would be comfortable to watch because it had suitable curtature and it's on-off was in the back.

Postdoc F: Well so should we we do not wan want to do the recording status first or ?
Grad C: Well we have about thirty two hours as of I guess a week and a half ago so we probably now have about thirty five hours
Professor E: And and that s that s How much of that is digits ? It s that s including digits
Grad C: I have not separated it out so I have no clue how much of that is digits
Professor E: So So anyway there s at least probably thirty hours or something of There s got to be more than thirty hour
Grad C: Of of non digits ?
Professor E: i it could not of Of non digits
Grad C: absolutely I mean the digits do not take up that much time
Postdoc F: OK and the transcribers h I do not have the exact numbers but I pause think it would come to about eleven hours that are finished transcribing from them right now The next step is to that I m working on is to insure that the data are clean first and then channelized What I mean by clean is that they are spell checked that the mark up is consistent all the way throughout and also that we now incorporate these additional conventions that Liz requested in terms of pause in terms of having a s a systematic handling of numbers and acronyms which I had not been specific about for example i they will say `` ninety two `` And you know so how you could So if you just say `` nine two `` the there are many s ways that could have been expressed An and I just had them I I mean a certain number of them did put the words down but now we have a convention which also involves having it followed by a gloss th and things
PhD B: one suggestion and you may already be doing this but I ve noticed in the past that when I ve gone through transcriptions and you know in in order to build lexicons and things if you just take all the transcriptions and separate them into words and then alphabetize them comment a lot of times just scanning down that list you will find a lot of pause inconsistencies and mis
Postdoc F: You are talking about the type token frequency listings and I use those too Y you mean just pause on each on each line there s a one word right ? It s one token from the from the corpus those are e extremely efficient and I and I I agree that s a very good use of it
PhD B: Oh so you already have that OK
Postdoc F: Well that s that s a way that s You know the spell check basically does that but but in addition yes that s that s exactly the strategy I want to do in terms of locating these things which are you know colloquial spoken forms which are not in the lexicon
PhD B: Mm Cuz a lot of times they will appear next to each other and
Postdoc F: Exactly And then you ca then you can do a s
PhD B: i in alphabetized lists they will appear next to each other and and so it makes it easier
Postdoc F: Absolutely I agree That s a very good that s a very good suggestion And that was that s my strategy for handling a lot of these things in terms of things that need to be glossed I did not get to that point but So there are numbers then there are acronyms and then there s a he she wants the actually a an explicit marker of what type of comment this is so i curly b inside the curly brackets I m going to put either `` VOC `` for vocalized like cough or like laugh or whatever `` NONVOC `` for door slam and `` GLOSS `` for things that have to do with if they said a s a spoken form with this m this pronunciation error I already had that convention but I I have not been asking these people to do it systematically cuz I think it most ha most efficiently handled by by a a filter That was what I was always planing on So that you know you get a whole long list exactly what you are saying you get a whole list of things that say `` curly bracket laugh curly bracket `` then y you know it s it s You you risk less error if you handle it by a filter than if you have this transcriber ch laboriously typing in sort of a VOC space so man So many ways that error prone So I m I m going to convert that via a filter into these tagged subcategorized comments and same thing with you know we see you get a subset when you do what you are saying you end up with a s with you are collapsing across a frequency you just have the tokens and you can have a filter which more efficiently makes those changes But the numbers and acronyms have to be handled by hand because you know I mean jus

Jerry: Yeah, your company has many offices all over the world and Chicago's like their hub, isn't it?
Nick: Yeah, they have their HQ there. If I can get a transfer, I swear I'm selling my house and moving. Or at least rent it out.

Jerry: Wow, mine's not that bad.
Nick: Well, the hurricane kind of veered west later on, so I think your area was spared the worst.
Jerry: Hmm...maybe. If you need any help fixing it up, I can help you out.
Nick: Yeah, that would be great. I was gonna call for some professional help, but then those companies are really expensive.
Jerry: Don't bother, they'll take a fortune. I have this weekend free, so you buy the beers and I can be there bright and early Sat.
Nick: Cool, hey thanks a lot, man.
Jerry: No problem. Do you want me to bring something to eat?

#Person1#: Even if our company didn't have a dress code, I still think people would wear formal clothing to work.
#Person2#: I wouldn't be so sure. . . People want to wear what they feel most comfortable in.
#Person1#: Maybe that's ture for some positions, but I think the marketing and sales staff would definitely not agree. They dress for success! You can't go out on a sales call if you are dressed in jeans. It's just not respectful to you client.
#Person2#: I think what you wear is so overrated. I would rather have a down-to-earth, honest and solid sales person than a painted, patent leather, designer suite salesman.
#Person1#: It's not as simple as that. People judge you by your appearance, whether you like it or not. So dressing professional is being prefessional. The image that you portray to others is so important in business. It's your image and how others perecive you that makes the difference between landing or lossing a sale.
#Person2#: Maybe you're right, but I'll take my sneakers and jeans any day!

#Person2#: Yeah, I do. My favorite is my laptop. I think everyone should have a laptop now because it's so useful. I can watch movies, download music from the Internet and most important, I can write reports on my students on my laptop. It's just amazing what you can do today.
#Person1#: Any other products you especially like? An MP4 player or an iPad?
#Person2#: No, I suppose I would have to say my digital camera. I'm absolutely useless had taking photographs. I always miss the main part of the picture, however, with a digital camera, I can keep taking photos again and again until I know I've got the one I actually want. The digital Camera is perfect for me. I can choose only the photos I want.

traveler: Get in here your coming with me!
animal: It is almost dinner time, my master will be here soon. When he finds you here, he will most assuredly kill you. I will be going nowhere with you today!
traveler: If you don't come with me bandits will ambush you anyways.
animal: I am no use to bandits. I may be strong but, I am slow and heavy. If they want to steal me, they wouldn't make it far. They couldn't run with me! Try as you might, your best bet is to run now before my master shows up!
traveler: You are not safe outside these castle walls. Please, come with me.
animal: I am only an animal. I have a hard time understanding humans. Are you here to steal me, murder me or save me?
traveler: I want to trade you for more delicious spices like this. I don't want to harm you.
animal: I refuse to go anywhere with you. I love my master and my role here at this farm!
traveler: Fine, I'll let the bandits kill you and your pathetic master.
