#Person1#: Mr. Dick. Does the recommendation of the university play an important role?
#Person2#: Yes. In fact, the recommendation letter written by the university is an indirect self-recommendation. In the long period of cooperation, the university has established good relationship with the companies or organizations, they trust each other well. If your university recommends you, you can be approved more easily.
#Person1#: But I find that most of the recommendation letters written by universities are the same. So I doubt its authority.
#Person2#: More and more persons have the same discoveries since most universities do that in order to save energy. If your university also does like this, you can look for other methods, because such kinds of recommendations say nothing for you.
#Person1#: Could you tell me whether or not I send out my resume with it?
#Person2#: It depends. If it has something special or useful, I suggest you send it out. | Mr. Dick thinks the recommendation letters written by universities play an important role, but if #Person1#'s university gives students the same recommendation letters, it might be useless.

PhD I: and and and one of the obvious things that occur to us was that we are since we now have Thilo s segmenter and it works you know amazingly well we should actually basically re evaluate the recognition results using you know without cheating on the segmentations And that should be fairly
PhD E: And how do we find the transcripts for those so that ? The references for for pause those segments ?
PhD I: Oh OK So there s actually Why do you ask ? No actually NIST has m a fairly sophisticated scoring program that you can give a a time You know you basically just give two pause time marked sequences of words and it computes the the comment comment you know the the th
PhD B: It does all the work for you
PhD I: it does all the work for you So it we just and we use that actually in Hub five to do the scoring So what we ve been using so far was sort of a pause simplified version of the scoring And we can we can handle the the the type of problem we have here
PhD E: So basically you give some time constraints for for the references and for for the hypothesis
PhD G: Maybe the pause start of your speech and the end of it
PhD I: Right It does time constrained word alignment So So that should be possible I mean that should not be a problem so that was the one thing and the other was that What was the other problem ? Oh ! That Thilo wanted to use pause the recognizer alignments to train up his speech detector so that we could use you know there would not be so much hand labelling needed to to generate training data for for the speech detector
PhD E: I m just in progress of of doing that So
PhD I: And I think you are in the process of doing that | PhD I thought that the team should re-evaluate recognition without cheating on the segmentation.

Marketing: Do you think radio waves will interfere with other appliances in the home ?

Project Manager: So can we use any any frequency ? We have the right to use any frequency ?
User Interface: no but as I know there is a range for for this f for for for this stuff for designing this circuit We can we can we can tune our transmitter to work in this range and for this range we do not need to ask any permission
Project Manager: And what happen with radio waves when two neighbours have the same have our remote control for example ? And so do they have the same frequency or ?
User Interface: for this I am not I I do not know the solution but one solution can be something like putting p password or something inside the wave so the only your TV can understand it
Industrial Designer: f I know about this since it is my it is exactly my field so It is kind of handshaking when starting to when you start to communicate with the your TV then then it is like an handshaking protocol with your your remote So so if two two devices are trying to go to communicate with the TV set then the the the one which has the more energy in the wave is chosen Well it can be a problem sometimes but most of the time it works
User Interface: The password may simply or i identification code may simply solve this problem A specific remote control has a specific f
Industrial Designer: but we we do not have to think about this because I think as a function designer that we will use the already made circuits which we probably bu buy It is worth to buy And they have these problems solved so So we do not have to think about these | User interface said that they could make this wave in specific frequency to avoid interfering with other devices. A password could also be put inside the wave in case that two neighbours had the same remote controls.

Sian Gwenllian AM: And in terms of the single continuum of learning with regard to the Welsh language how are progression steps and achievement outcomes in Welshmedium schools going to work and how are they going to work in Englishmedium schools ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Just on the Welsh dimension I think it is really important that whatever resources we have to support the Welsh dimension are really really really broad and not confined to specific areas I was in Swansea University just this week looking at some of their Technocamp work that they are doing to help us with coding and we had an amazing conversation about the Welsh contribution to the computing industry And so my expectation is that that is not taught in a history lesson—that actually when children are learning about coding they get to hear that Welsh people have been at the forefront of developing this technology So that is— When I talk about a Welsh dimension I mean right the way across the curriculum and I think that is important With regard to— The continuum for language will have to be contextualised depending on the setting where a child is being taught We have to recognise— We have to recognise that and there will be progression points on that continuum that will be there to show progression both in Welsh language and in the English language and they have to be contextualised We recognise that children learning Welsh in a Welshmedium school their progressional on that point would be more speedy and quicker and by the end of primary school they would be in a very different position than a child that was learning Welsh in an Englishmedium school Vice versa—we have had this discussion before—if a child is going into Welsh medium their progression in English perhaps from age three to seven would be very different from a child that was in an Englishmedium school although the expectation would be that by 11 they would be in the same position So we have to contextualise that learning continuum depending on the medium of tuition with the school but recognising that it is a progression It is not a start and never get any further
Sian Gwenllian AM: With regard to the creative thinking element of PISA I take it that you are adhering to the fact that the Welsh Government is opting out of the creative thinking tests with regard to PISA 2020 I do not entirely understand that because the new curriculum does place great emphasis on creative thinking and independent thinking So why not participate in these tests ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Because for me the key factor for making that decision and I intend to stick to it is in 2021 we will be expecting schools to be right in the middle of their preparation for the introduction of the new curriculum—
Sian Gwenllian AM: so it is the timing So later on maybe when this is embedded—
Kirsty Williams AM: I think there could well be a different decision at a later date but at 2021 this is not the right time to do it Can I just say ? In terms of creativity Wales is seen as an exemplar by the OECD especially our partnership with the Arts Council of Wales and creative learning through the arts
Sian Gwenllian AM: I get that That is why I do not understand why we are not actually going for it and showing how good we are through the PISA But I understand
Kirsty Williams AM: There could well be a different decision but for 2021 we are asking enough of people at the moment and this would be an unnecessary addition to cope with I just do not think that that should be seen as us running away from it because we are worried about a lack of creativity in our education system The very opposite is true We are seen as exemplars by the OECD and some of the work that is been going on with creative learning through the schools is now being shared internationally
Sian Gwenllian AM: So you will think about it for the next round of PISA
Kirsty Williams AM: Oh gosh that shows that Siân thinks that I will be here to make that decision Laughter That is very encouraging indeed Laughter
Steve Davies: One very quick technical point Chair We have not opted out of this Countries were offered if they wished to take the invite to come into it and a number of countries across the world are yet to make their decision on this | Kirsty Williams AM suggested that it was really important that whatever resources there were to support the Welsh dimensionare in a broad level and not confined to specific areas. Regardless of the type of schools, attention to the Welsh language should always be included. However, there might be change towards this implementation this year and it was unclear whether it would be discussed by different sectors. |

#Person1#: So, tell me, what's the one thing that really makes you unhappy about modern technology?
#Person2#: I'm happy to get a chance to speak out. I know that a lot of people like the convenience of cell phones, but I find them truly irritating. People don't seem to know when to leave them at home. I hate it when people use their cell phones in a restaurant or a store. It's probably none of my business, but it drives me crazy. One night in a movie theater, some cell phone began to ring and a guy behind me began to have a conversation right there during the movie. And the people who talk on the phone while they drive, well, they're putting the rest of us in danger, aren't they? There should be a law against it. | #Person2# tells #Person1# #Person2# finds cell phones irritating because people use them on inappropriate occasions. #Person2# thinks there should be laws against using the phone when driving. |

Eluned Morgan AM: Thanks very much for that I think first of all you are absolutely right—this is about ColegauCymrus negotiation but we are keeping a close eye on the situation I think it is probably worth emphasising that the reason this has come about or part of the reason is because you have seen that pay settlement in relation to teachers pay and we have had the consequential So sixthform teachers are happy The people actually providing the same teaching course in a different institution you can understand why they may say Something needs to change here The problem here is that it is about that actually that falls to the Welsh Government We do not have that Or at least it falls to FE colleges to fund that and it is up to them to come up with that proposal We are keeping a close eye on things I think it is fair to say that we will wait until they get further along down the line but we are extremely aware of the sensitivities of the situation
Dawn Bowden AM: Thank you for that Minister When you say you are keeping a close eye on it have you actually had conversations with ColegauCymru ? Because I note what you just said there : We will keep an eye on it and wait and see what is happening Well all the unions are currently consulting One has already balloted for industrial action We could have the other unions also balloting for industrial action I mean this is not something we want in the FE sector clearly so is there anything more proactive that Government could actually be doing to try to bring a resolution to this dispute ?
Eluned Morgan AM: Well we are listening and speaking to ColegauCymru and also we are aware of what the unions are saying as well So I think that is probably as far as we can go at this point When they come to a conclusion and when they come to us and say Look this is the consequence and this will finish—at this point we have no idea where that settlement is likely to fall | Eluned Morgan agreed with Dawn Bowden that this was about ColegauCymru's negotiation.

Industrial Designer: You feel like you are caged within whatever y It is like a balloon in a cage it can only go so big and not hit the side The constraints do come in very fast
Project Manager: actually let us take each point and everybody discuss it I think So still on the topic of room for creativity next up is Craig
User Interface: I agree with his point it is it is quite a lot of fun t to go and then you have sort of hit the end then go right got to cut everything out because we do not have enough money
Industrial Designer: I think another point is that the meetings are more brainstorming sessions than meetings so time is also a very s strong factor and structure Because for a brainstorming meeting you want a structure that allows you to allows ideas to get tossed to be evaluated and to be reviewed and to get feedback and come back And I guess that point about the room not being r very friendly to that I think that is a very big thing and I think the fact that we are wearing these things restricts I feel it because I wear m my glasses right and that but that irritates me right it it it does actually you know affect how w whether you feel comfortable to communicate I feel like I am hiding behind the equipment rather than the equipment is helping me and you know
Project Manager: So you think a more relaxed atmosphere would be more kind of conducive to creative thought or
Industrial Designer: Not not so much an atmosphere the atmosphere is very relaxed but the the gear you know that creates boundaries to that and and the time the time given also restricts | Industrial Designer thought the meeting was not friendly to the brainstorming. The restriction was not about the atmosphere but related to the actual environment and the limited time for discussion. Besides, the interaction was structured, meaning each individual took charge of one particular task without enough collaboration between each other. Also, communication through email was inefficient. |

#Person2#: When I was small and I was at junior high school, I used to like playing soccer with my friends, actually in Kenya. What's different from other countries is we used to make our own soccer ball to play. So it was very easy.
#Person1#: Wow, how did you make the soccer balls?
#Person2#: We used to collect like plastic and paper and bind them with string to make something round. So it was like...you didn't have to spend any money.

#Person2#: Not really. I used to like playing soccer, but I was not very good actually, to tell the truth.
#Person1#: Yeah, like me. I wasn't a very good athlete. I mean, I like sports, but I was never very good. Uhm, so do you play soccer in Japan?

#Person1#: What's up? You don't look too good.
#Person2#: Yeah, my head hurts, that's all. I'Ve been in physics class all day. It's killer!
#Person1#: I liked physics. It's all math, really. arcs, curves, velocity, cool stuff.
#Person2#: Yeah, yeah, but today's lesson was all about the creation of the universe.
#Person1#: A physics class about the creation of the universe? That's some pretty unscientific language there. Sounds more religious to me.
#Person2#: It's all religion. Take the theory of the Big Bang. How is it possible that all of the stuff in the universe comes from an explosion? That's no better than Atlas carrying the globe on his back or African myths about turtles and stuff.
#Person1#: Turtles? Whatever. . . Look, all that's required for the creation of matter an imbalance of particles and anti-particles. At least, that's what the math says.
#Person2#: Math, sheath. What's the evidence?
#Person1#: There is evidence! You know Edwin Hubble? He's the guy who in the early twentieth century was the first scientist to measure the drift of matter in the universe, thus advancing notions of an expanding universe. What would it be expanding from? Well, the Big Bang. . . DUH!
#Person2#: Anyway, it's just a theory. Why do people go around touting theories? Where's the scientific rigor in that?

Margaret: “I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten.

Mr. Terry Duguid (Winnipeg South, Lib.): Mr Chair today I want to give a special thank you to the health care workers at Victoria General Hospital who are serving patients in our community here in Winnipeg South Every day doctors nurses and staff work selflessly to take care of those in our community who need it most Whether it is by keeping seniors connected with their families by using iPads or making sure that patients go home with a special care package staff at the Vic are doing extraordinary work to make this difficult time just a little bit easier I would also like to give a big shoutout to our wonderful small businesses in Winnipeg South that continue to show their appreciation by preparing meals for the hardworking staff at the Vic Folks in our community continue to show what it means to be exemplary Canadians and it is a great honour to represent them
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): This concludes the period for statements by members We will now proceed to the questioning of ministers The honourable Leader of the Opposition
Hon. Andrew Scheer: MrChair the staff of longterm care facilities for seniors are showing exceptional courage and dedication FranoisLegault asked that the military personnel currently helping in facilities in Quebec stay until the fall The Prime Minister said no I would like to hear the Prime Minister tell us why they can not stay
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: MrChair like all Canadians I am deeply grateful for the extraordinary work that the Canadian Armed Forces are doing in longterm care facilities in Quebec and Ontario Thanks to their reports we have seen that the situation was even worse than we feared The work our military is doing is extraordinary We will continue to support them but we know that having military personnel in our longterm care facilities is not a longterm solution Therefore we are going to work with Quebec to find better longterm solutions
Hon. Andrew Scheer: Mr Chair now that Bell Canada has decided to partner with Ericsson to deliver its 5G network the Liberals will undoubtedly ban Huawei but the Liberal inaction on Huawei is just another example of this governments weak leadership Instead of deciding for himself a year ago the Prime Minister is forcing the business community to make the decision for him Why could not the Prime Minister have shown some backbone and banned Huawei a year ago ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr Chair our approach every step of the way has been to listen to experts to work with allies and to listen to the counsel of our security and intelligence community which has been looking into this issue We know we need to make sure that Canadian businesses Canadians and Canadian infrastructure are protected at the same time as we remain competitive in the world That has guided our approach on this from the beginning
Hon. Andrew Scheer: The fact of the matter Mr Chair is that it has not The former public safety minister Ralph Goodale promised in this House over a year ago that an answer on Huawei would be coming Here we are it is June 2 2020 and they still have not made a decision On another topic Mr Chair the President of the Treasury Board wrote to cabinet last week and said that transparency is important even in a time of crisis I guess the Minister of Infrastructure did not get that letter She is refusing to tell us how much of a bonus she gave to the departing head of the Canada Infrastructure Bank At a time when Canadians are struggling it is disgusting that the Liberals are paying out bonuses to someone who accomplished nothing Will the Prime Minister have a little respect for taxpayers and tell us exactly how much of a bonus the CEO of the Canada Infrastructure Bank received ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr Chair the mandate of the Canada Infrastructure Bank is to find innovative ways to finance some of Canadas biggest infrastructure projects by leveraging private capital The remuneration range of the former CEO has been in the public domain for more than two years The opposition is looking backward We are moving forward The bank is moving into its next phase of development now under the leadership of the new board chair Michael Sabia and will play an important role in the recovery when the time comes
Hon. Andrew Scheer: Mr Chair only to a Liberal would an innovative approach to building infrastructure mean building absolutely nothing The CEO of an infrastructure bank who accomplished zero completed infrastructure projects should not be receiving a bonus I did not ask a question about the remuneration I did not ask a question about the salary This individual received a bonus How much was that bonus ?
Right Hon. Justin Trudeau: Mr Chair as I said the remuneration range of this former CEO has been in the public domain for more than two years In regard to further payments we do not comment on personal HR and financial information of individuals in government
Hon. Andrew Scheer: Mr Chair again I did not ask about the remuneration I asked about the bonus The Canada Infrastructure Bank was a Liberal scheme designed to protect the investments of private investors and put all the risk onto taxpayers Even with that model do you know how many projects they completed ? Zero Yet the individual in charge of that received a bonus from the Prime Minister Apparently to the Liberals he was doing a good job They might try to claim that it is arms length and that they can not divulge this information but we know that Minister Champagne personally intervened in the decision regarding the bonus of the Canada Infrastructure Banks CEO It is a simple question How much did that individual receive ? | Farmers were faced by inaccessibility of financial aid due to the complicated online calculator. Even after consulting with accountants, it still wasn't clear on how to navigate the assistance program. |

musician: What kind of friends? Surely you haven't befriended any of these things?
guest: no i have never seen any people like these not even in my books
musician: Well that's a relief. I
guest: i hope that all the people here are friendly, i will say a prayer for them
musician: I've lived with these beings for years. They aren't exactly unfriendly and they like my music, but they seem to operate on their own logic. Don't try to make friends with them or learn their names. You could end up vanishing.
guest: well maybe it is better that i do not try and pray for them, thanks for the heads up
musician: Of course. Although you could probably pray for them with no Ill effects. They might even pay you.

musician: Remember to tell them about me as well. I always enjoy playing my lute for new people.
