#Person1#: Welcome. What can I do for you, Madam? #Person2#: I hope you can give me some advice. I'm sick and tired of coming here or to the post office to pay my utility bills. It's such a long way from my home, but I checked and you are my nearest branch. Is there anyway I can do it from home? #Person1#: That's terrible. Unfortunately, we don't have that many branches outside the centre of town. What I'd advise you to do is set up a Direct Debit Service. #Person2#: A Direct Debit Service? What's that exactly? #Person1#: A Direct Debit means that every month we can arrange for all of your utility bills to come directly out of your account, no fuss, no hassle. #Person2#: But how will you know how much I should pay? I mean, I receive my bills, not you. #Person1#: We set up an agreement with the, say, phone company. They tell us how much to pay them every month and we pay directly from your account. Of course, we are able to do this with all of the utilities companies. #Person2#: I see. So, that would mean that every month it would just come from my account? That does sound like a good idea, totally trouble free.
#Person2# is sick and asks #Person1# if it's possible to pay her utility bills from home. #Person1# advises her to set up a Direct Debit Service so they can pay directly from her account.
hunter: Say, what brought you into this cave? hiker: I like to go hiking and explore places, I didn't think this place would be so damp and dark hunter: I chased a wolf in here. The skins sell for a pretty penny in town. I think it might live here, deep in the cave. hiker: You might want to kill whatever made those bones first. hunter: Good point. Before it kills one of us. Are you armed? hiker: All I have is water, are you thirsty? hunter: No, no. I'm afraid we need to try and navigate our way out of this cave. I have a knife, but if there is more than one creature in this cave, we'll be in big trouble. hiker: Well you go first then brave hunter hunter: Yes, yes. Stay in close behind me. If you hear anything, let me know. I have difficulties hearing and I don't want anything to sneak up on me. hiker: Shouldn't you have the knife out hunter? What kinds of things do you hunt?

#Person1#: Have you been having any problems lately? #Person2#: No, but the nurse at school says that I should have my blood pressure checked. #Person1#: Do you have a history of high blood pressure? #Person2#: No, I have never been told that I have high blood pressure. #Person1#: High blood pressure is called the silent killer because it hardly ever has symptoms. #Person2#: How do you check for high blood pressure? #Person1#: We are going to use this cuff here, and it will give me a reading. #Person2#: What do the numbers mean? #Person1#: They tell me how much your heart is working at rest when pumping blood. #Person2#: Good.

Three or four o'clock? #Person2#: Yes. #Person1#: I never stay out that late. That's too late. #Person2#: But why is it too late? It's Saturday night. You have nothing to do tomorrow. Why not stay out and drink with us? #Person1#: Were you so wild when you were still in Taipei, Sharon? #Person2#: Yes, I was. And I like living here. People know how to party here. In Taipei, some people know how to party. But here, everyone does. #Person1#: What is that they're doing on the couch? #Person2#: They're smoking pot. Don't worry about it. #Person1#: Pot? Isn't that marijuana? #Person2#: Yes, it is. #Person1#: But, Sharon, that's illegal! The police could come, and we could go to jail. #Person2#: Don't worry about it. It is true that pot is illegal in America. But the laws aren't as strict as in Taiwan. If people are arrested, and they have a little pot in their possession, they don't go to jail. They just have to pay a fine. #Person1#: Really? #Person2#: Yes. #Person1#: I didn't know you had such wild friends. Do you smoke marijuana too? #Person2#: I tried it a couple times. But I don't like it. I like alcohol better. Don't worry about them, though. If you don't want to smoke pot, you don't have to. #Person1#: I don't want to. #Person2#: That's alright. But you really should have another drink. People will probably start dancing soon. #Person1#: I don't know if I can drink more. I already had two drinks. #Person2#: You had two drinks at nine o'clock. C'mon, Ann, you are in an American university now! You have to learn how to drink. #Person1#: I thought a university was for studying. #Person2#: It is. We study hard all week. And then, on the weekend, we party hard. That's the best way to live. #Person1#: Alright. I'll have another drink.
Ann wants to go home because it's too late, but Sharon disagrees because Ann is free tomorrow. Sharon thinks everyone knows how to party here and tells Ann that the people are smoking marijuana on the couch which Ann thinks too wild. Sharon persuades Ann to have another drink and Ann agrees.

Darren Millar AM: Can I just ask about fee and access plans and how Brexit might impact them ? To what extent do you think that they could be impacted ? Dr David Blaney: I think there are two dimensions to maybe touch upon there Fee and access plans are approved annually by us They are approved in advance of the recruitment cycle for the year that they apply to So we are just in the process now of finalising our consideration of fee and access plans for the 201920 academic year So there is quite a long lead time We as part of that process go through similar—we look at their financial sustainability which is based on their forecasts—data to the stuff we have just been discussing And also of course the fee plans themselves make assumptions about how many students of different types from different domains are going to be recruited So clearly if there is a continuing downward pressure on EU student recruitment then that will reduce the amount of fee income that is going to come in unless they can find other students and that will reduce the amount of investment in the various activities that are identified in the fee plans In terms of process we have two things that we can do If institutions are becoming aware that the basis upon which they have submitted a fee plan is fundamentally different from the reality then they can come into us for a change to their fee plan So we have a change process If it is not fundamentally different but there are always differences between what you plan and what happens three years later— We also monitor after the event and if there are differences we would then obviously require institutions to explain those differences If they have had fewer students and less investment we would need to understand that Conversely if they would had more students and potentially more investment we would want to know what they would spent it on and if they have done different things we would want to understand that as well So we do challenge through a monitoring process The only other thing that is perhaps worth saying is that in the 201920 fee and access plans—they are not published yet so I can not give you the full detail—five universities have made reference to Brexit and the Brexit impact and things they want to do through their fee and access plan to try and address some of those issues so they are in there as well
According to Mr. Blaney, there are two dimensions. Fee and access plans are approved annually by Mr. Blaney's group. They go through their financial sustainability, which is based on their forecasts and data. And also, the fee plans themselves make assumptions about how many students of different types are going to be recruited. Unless the institutions can find other students, and they will reduce the amount of investment in the various activities that are identified in the fee plans.
