Sian Gwenllian AM: As we know of course the work with Her Majestys Revenue and Customs has ended and I know you were not the Minister who initiated this process but what exactly has gone wrong ? What are these issues that have come to light that have made you suspend that ? It is very frustrating for us as a committee who scrutinised that extensively and raised a lot of concerns about that And a lot of time has been spent talking about this funding Bill and money—£1 million I understand—has been wasted if you like unnecessarily So what exactly has gone wrong ? Why are not you discussing these things with HMRC ? Yes So thank you for that explanation
Julie Morgan AM: I have got more to say as well
Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes but for your transparency around your particular view that it needs to be more flexible and expanded upon and therefore going down the HMRC route was—
Julie Morgan AM: It would have restricted us a lot
Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes We knew that from the beginning I mean that is you know— So it was a principle decision rather than any sort of technical matters to do with the Welsh language standards That is been cited as one kind of— But I am really understanding more now that really what it is about is that you want to have a more flexible and expand on the offer and that this would curtail—going through HMRC would put limits on that
Julie Morgan AM: That is one of the reasons but there were issues about the Welsh language which we can go into in detail if you would like There were some issues about that They would be able to process things bilingually and I think that was probably told to the committee when we looked at the HMRC But in terms of the Welsh language standards that the Minister has to use there would be some difficulties in them doing it
Sian Gwenllian AM: But would you say that your main change came about because you wanted to be more flexible rather than any difficulties—
Julie Morgan AM: One of the major reasons I think— But there are— As I say there are other reasons Those technical reasons probably do end up being quite important—
Sian Gwenllian AM: But the committee was told by the previous Minister that HMRC would not have any problem at all with delivering according to the Welsh language standards
Julie Morgan AM: Do you want to add something to this ?
Nicola Edwards: So in terms of some of the technical issues we had if you want to start with the bilingual provision and the Welsh language standards HMRC do provide a bilingual service at the moment for their customers in line with their Welsh language scheme and I think we can all appreciate that schemes are quite different from the requirements of the standards And there were some issues when we got into the detail of the standards that the Welsh Ministers are required to deliver to that caused some concerns in terms of how HMRC were going to do it particularly in terms of the multiple IT systems that go into building up the childcare services So for example there are a number of what are called special characters in the Welsh alphabet such as the to bach for example The HMRC IT system has some issues with that
Sian Gwenllian AM: Yes well with due respect the to bach has always been there—
Nicola Edwards: Oh yes I completely agree Unfortunately however—
Sian Gwenllian AM: —and HMRC would have been able to tell you really early on you would have thought that it was— I do not really want to go into it because I think we have got to the crux of why HMRC was dropped I think it is been dropped because Julie feels that the offer needs to be more flexible and I can understand why you would say that
Julie Morgan AM: If we bring in training and education for example we would not be able to do that via the HMRC it would have to be done by the local authorities Foster parents have to be done via the local authorities Any people of immigration status of no resource from public funds that would have to be done via the local authorities And with the local authorities also wanting to do it— I mean there are other things with using HMRC—if any changes were made with the English offer for example because this would be delivered via HMRC with the English offer that would cause difficulties for the Welsh offer So we wanted something more flexible I do not know if there is anything more you want to add on that
Jo-Anne Daniels: The only thing I would add is that—and again I think the Minister has referred to this—the costs that HMRC presented us with at the end of the discovery phase were significantly higher than the costs that had initially been outlined and that we outlined to the committee in the regulatory impact assessment So our conclusion is that we can deliver a cheaper system and a system that has the flexibility that the Deputy Minister has referred to by working with local authorities rather than HMRC So there is an important issue around value for money as well and making sure that the investment that we are making into developing the national system is one that—that in a sense that investment stays in Wales So obviously the money that we are paying over to HMRC to run the system would be supporting HMRC and their employees wherever they may be based many of them not based in Wales investment in local authorities to administer the system means that we are retaining more of that investment here
Sian Gwenllian AM: Well I congratulate you on persuading local government and WLGA to change their minds because they actually told this committee that they favoured the HMRC option—and this is only going back a few months—because it will remove—and this is quoting them— it will remove the administrative burden of receiving applications and checking eligibility from local authorities— blah blah blah blah So they have obviously changed their minds as well which is you know— I congratulate you on that but it does present us as a committee with a little bit of a problem really because if we are told one thing a few months ago and then we are told something completely different today you know evidence—we have to go on evidence that we have heard and the evidence has changed now | Sian Gwenllian pointed out that the issues with HMRC had come to light that had made the team suspended the programme for the HMRC would have put limits on that. Julie Morgan answered that in terms of the Welsh language standards that the Minister had to use, there would be some difficulties in them doing it. For instance this would be delivered via HMRC with the English offer, which would cause difficulties for the Welsh offer. So, they wanted something more flexible. Nicola Edwards also agreed that the technical issues with HMRC for HMRC did provide a bilingual service at the moment for their customers in line with their Welsh language scheme. Jo-Anne Daniels finally came to the conclusion that they could deliver a cheaper system with flexibility that the Deputy Minister had referred to by working with local authorities rather than HMRC. |

#Person2#: The plane doesn't leave for two hours. Anyway, I'm ready to go now.
#Person1#: Now, you're taking just one case, is that right?
#Person2#: No, there is one in the hall as well.
#Person1#: Gosh, what a lot of stuff! You're taking enough for a month instead of a week.
#Person2#: Well, you can't depend on the weather. It might be cold.

#Person1#: Hi, Amy.

#Person1#: You look great! Have you been on vacation?
#Person2#: Yeah, I have. I was on the West Coast.
#Person1#: Nice! How was it?
#Person2#: Great. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from work.
#Person1#: Where did you go?
#Person2#: Los Angeles and San Francisco.
#Person1#: How did you like Los Angeles?
#Person2#: Well, it is cleaner than I thought it would be, and there are a lot of trees, so I like it better than I thought I would. But it's huge! It's really hard to get around. The bus service is terrible, and you know, I don't like taking the underground. We had to rent a car.
#Person1#: And was the weather good?
#Person2#: Oh, yes, it was nice and warm in Los Angeles.
#Person1#: What about San Francisco?
#Person2#: The weather? It was cooler than LA, but it wasn't uncomfortable.
#Person1#: Cool in San Francisco? That's surprising.
#Person2#: Yeah, it surprised me a bit, too. And it was a problem because we didn't take any sweaters or anything like that, but it's always like that in August. Anyway, I loved it. It's probably the most beautiful city in the US-all those hills, the bay, and those magical old Victorian houses.
#Person1#: So, you like it better than Los Angeles?
#Person2#: Absolutely! And there's much more that you can see and do on foot! It's smaller than Los Angeles, so it's much easier to get around. There are lots of buses and streetcars, and of course, minibuses, too. | Amy tells #Person1# she went to Los Angeles and San Francisco during the vacation.

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: Well it depends though well it depends If we we do not unless we have some input some video input to the TV or we have control over the TV then we can not actually display that Like if we if we produce the TVs then then we can put you know menus up up there but otherwise we need to actually have some kind of something sitting in between the video signal and the and the TV to superimpose those those menus So that is an extra
Project Manager: that is right Don do not you ha do not we have contacts with people on TV or or well systems that exist that we can use ?
User Interface: Well this is this is another que we still have not really defined the remote Are we still you say we are focusing on TV but is it still a kind of like a universal remote in that it is a replacement remote control or is this something for our own line of of televisions ? Because that really makes a big difference Because even if we have contacts we can not really produce a remote control that can bring up menus on other other companies TVs It is just there are too many TVs out there It is it is not really going to
Project Manager: That is good point What is what cou what could be the cost of well could we fit the the targets in terms of cost if we go s to LCD on the remote control ?
User Interface: For twenty five Euro ? I think it is impossible
Industrial Designer: It is not possible It is impossible
User Interface: But but I do not know I think it would be good to know if there is any leverage in that any leeway in that that twenty five Euro because for twenty five Euro I think all we can really do is provide a very basic remote control and that seems to be kind of against the philosophy of our company which is you know putting the fashion into electronics So I would I would like to know if there is any chance of of increasing the of increasing the unit price
Project Manager: So you mean yo you mean we we should target something maybe which is which would be more expensive but re really fancy in terms to in terms to had to have really an added value ? so regarding the automatic speech recognition I think this is
Marketing: Wha but what would be one question what would be the goal of putting an LCD in a remote control ? What what kind of information ?
User Interface: Because you can have things like the programme name instead of the channel numbers like an interactive programme guide
Marketing: but mo most of the TVs nowadays show the show the
Project Manager: They have tele teletext Well because they have teletext on it Th th you have a teletext sin signal that you can that you can that you can get thr through the channel
Marketing: but most of the TVs have teletext nowadays
Project Manager: They have t most of them have teletext but we want to get rid well one of our requirements is to to move to teletext to to the use of internet
User Interface: You can get a lot more information on it
Project Manager: to browse more easily the teletext For instance through through your remote control
Marketing: So what would what would appear in the in the LCD ?
User Interface: So you could have the name of the programme you could have the start time you know where it is up to
Project Manager: The ti the start time all the p all the programmes you could have o
User Interface: You could have a l even a little image of you know the c you know the the m the main actors or something so you can quickly just kind of even without reading
Project Manager: Well I do not know if this information is available from teletext also
User Interface: Well no but there are the electronic programme guides out there They may not have pictures but maybe they do There is dependi it also depends on the country
Project Manager: Well because for the same reason that we can not informations on the TV We c we could not grab information information which is not there
User Interface: No but I mean with the internet you have flexibility of where you get your information from So it may be possible that there are people out there providing that
Project Manager: So so that mean w w we need an in an extra internet connection to use the remote control if you want to browse in addition to the TV or or it should be a special TV connected to
User Interface: Well I I think if we are going to I think we would definitely need the internet connection because even with y I do not think you could even get teletext information from the TV onto the remote control especially if we do not control the TV I do not know We need to find that out
Project Manager: We need to close the meeting so
Industrial Designer: But just a small thing what kind of market we are targeting ? Is it that we are targeting the replacement remote market or what ? So the remote has gone bad and the person wants to buy a new remote or because the cost of LCD thing could be as high as the TV itself
Project Manager: well people go to buy another remote control when they broke n broke their
User Interface: If it is a really small TV maybe
Project Manager: and they want to go t for universal one and they take the fanciest they can have So this is that we z that that we should target So the com the the the committment is the following we do not go for speech recognition technology The LCD is still on disc is still open to discussion It is up to you to go through this this way and to to report report me back next meeting So
Marketing: I think that the speech recognition technology would be cheaper the than the LCD
Industrial Designer: It is it is cheaper as compared to the LCD
Project Manager: but not sure Maybe it is cheaper but we have no
Marketing: Because with the LCD you need more requirements You need a internet connection You need m more things
User Interface: Well the thing is I think I think the type of peop
Marketing: for the speech recognition you you do not need anything You just say channel fifty and that is it
User Interface: I think the type of people that are going to want to buy a very stylish rem r remote control with lots of new technologies are the kind of people that are going to have you know a wireless internet connection maybe or a you know
Marketing: But then we should move to another target b because at twenty five Dollars
Industrial Designer: Means th twenty five Euros is that is right
User Interface: Well this is what we need to find out Can we can we increase the the price point of this remote control ? Because otherwise we need
Project Manager: this is this is an open question for you This is up to you to tell us But I am definitely not keen on to to
Marketing: To move to another target ?
Project Manager: no no no I am no I am definit definitely not keen on going to speech recognition technologies I am not confident enough I am not sure that that we will have a product really that work I that work | User Interface thought that sometimes the speech recognition interrupted people when there was a dialogue on the TV program. Unless the remote control could be made to not have to pick up any more, that would be a useful feature of speech recognition. Project Manager was not keen on it because Project Manager was not confident they would have a product that was able to work. However, Marketing thought that the speech recognition technology would be cheaper than the LCD and people must buy it with twenty-five Euros. |

Marketing: So is there any discussion possible about the new product requirement ?
Project Manager: we can see if we can find a way between the functions we want to use and the market we want to reach with our product
Marketing: because you are you are saying that teletext is going to be an old feature and it is not going to be used anymore anyway pretty soon And new TVs will have internet access on them But I think if you are targeting people of forty plus the chance that they will have a TV with internet access within the next like twenty years is very slim In addition people indicated that teletext simply was an important feature for the remote control So I think it is pretty dumb to put no teletext feature on it I am pretty much against it
Project Manager: Against the no teletext ?
Marketing: Besides that I think the market for forty plus is like pretty small But I mean if I s if I see this it is I think we are just going to go for another
Project Manager: No I think we can | Marketing was strongly against the ''no teletext but internet'' requirement, because he thought there was little chance that customers over 40 would use TVs with internet access in the near future. And he added that teletext was no doubt a key feature for the remote control, especially for the elder generation, and hence should not be ruled out anyway. Consequently, the group agreed to keep teletext and further negotiate with the board. |

Justin: don't start with that again
Justin: we already spent past few days discussing this

Simon: What's the dumbest proverb you can think of?
Alan: I don't know. Laughter is the best medicine?
Simon: Yeah, that's a good one. It's not exactly going to do much against bubonic plage is it?
Alan: Not really. Doctor, I have these swellings under my armpit! That's alright I'll tell you a joke.
Simon: Any more?
Alan: A stitch in time saves nine. I don't understand how you can stitch time in the first place, and why it should save nine instead of seven or eleven, for example.
Simon: That was the original title of the Outlander novel, you know?
Alan: What "A Stitch in Time saves Nine?"
Simon: No, just "A stitch in time". That was what Diana Gabaldon called it. Later on they changed the further issues of Book one to Outlander and called it the Outlander series and the TV shows were always just called Outlander.
Alan: About the best historical drama ever made, in my opinion. Really insightful about the eighteenth century. You can almosot feel as if you have lived in it.
Simon: I agree. The only better series I know is Breaking Bad, but that's a completely different genre.
Alan: Both BB and Outlander are hard to cast when it comes to genre. I would say they transcend genre. But you are right, they are very different.
Simon: which do you like better?
Alan: I would still say that BB is the single best TV series ever made, and that by a wide margin. However, once you have seen it from beginning to end and you know what is coming, you don't want to watch it again.
Simon: Right. Whereas you can watch all the Outlander series several times just for the historical insight and the atmosphere as well as the artistic beauty of the scenes and cinematography.
Alan: Yes and Catriona Balfe
Simon: Indeed. There's nobody on Breaking Bad who quite equals her, is there?
Alan: I quite liked Marie Schrader and Jessie's girlfriend who chokes on her own vomit, but Skyler is not exactly my type:
Simon: No. And anyway none of them can hold a candle to Catriona.
Alan: She's a gorgeous woman and a fantastic actress.
Simon: She and Sam really bring the books to life. | Alan and Simon are fans of Breaking Bad and Outlander although they are different genres. The Outlander novel Dana Gabaldon used to be called "A stitch in time". Cationa Baife is an Outlander character. They think she is better than Marie Schrader, Skylar and Jessie's girlfriend from Breaking Bad. |

David Hopkins: Yes sure The delegation levels are already very high in most authority areas and we have got agreements in place with the Government to make sure that more money or as much money as possible is devolved to schools So I do not think that is a direct factor I think the factors that really affect exclusions which is where I think the question came from : you have got the very narrow measure at the end of key stage 4 attainment which I think has put pressure on some schools certainly and headteachers have felt that—sometimes excluded or otherwise put into another school as a consequence which is regrettable but that is what is happened And on the additional learning needs side whilst the Minister has currently made some more money available if we look at experiences that have happened in England in particular because there are direct parallels there with legislation we know from those experiences that ALN funding has become increasingly under pressure—there have been big issues around tribunals to the point where local authorities at one point almost gave up going to tribunals because they were losing them time and time again So there are financial pressures there but I do not think the levels of delegation have any impact on that
Sian Gwenllian AM: But just the pressures coming in with the new Act et cetera could mean more expulsions
David Hopkins: It should not but it could It is difficult to know how headteachers and governing bodies will react If they are under pressure financially or in terms of performance measures they will react in a particular way Culturally we have got to get to the point I think particularly with the new curriculum coming in where we say Look forget the narrow measures that you are being judged by We are trying to agree with partners including Estyn and the Welsh Government a broader range of measures That in a sense may provide opportunities for schools and local authorities to look more constructively at this whole area So that is one area but you are right I think the ALN legislation will put pressures on not just local authorities and schools but also on the post16 sector because we are talking now about a wider age range—doing up to 25 as well So we have got a host of issues I think there to consider and work our way through | David Hopkins agreed with Sharon Davies that the new Act would exert more pressure on schools. However, he denied that the levels of the delegation would have any impact. Meanwhile, he suggested that it would be better for the schools' headmasters and local authorities to look at the new Act more constructively, for it would be beneficial for the post-16 sector. |
servant: hmmm. Well no, not in a traditional sense. He is a follower of Chenzoborg, which means he enjoys a good bit human sacrifice and torture. In fact he flayed my whole family alive!
royal family: I am so sorry to hear that! I fear this marriage, but we must play our parts, if we want peace.
servant: Don't be sorry! During the dark ritual in which my family perished my soul was also consumed by Chenzoborg and now I myself am a devout follower. I'm sure you will be too, eventually.
royal family: Tell me more of Chenzoborg
servant: He is the one of the ever penetrating stare, the ever watching eyes and the endless devouring hunger. Soon Chenzoborg through his cult of devout followers will consume the entire world and the dark prince will be reborn, harkening and age of endless agony and death. Of course I'm just a humble servant and will surely not play anywhere near a great role in this as you, m'lady.

#Person1#: Can I ask for leave this afternoon?
#Person2#: What is the problem?
#Person1#: I had a headache this morning. I didn't pay attention to it. I thought probably it is because I didn't sleep well. But now it is getting worse and worse. I feel quite dizzy now and my eyes are somehow very light-sensitive. Maybe it is the migrated.

villager: About an hour on foot and then a 20 minute donkey ride. My feet are killing me.
townperson: Wow, that's quite a while away. Where do you hail from?
villager: I come from the village next to the magical forest, although we are forbidden from entering it.
townperson: The magical forest? I hear that village is quite powerful from their usage of their magical surroundings.

Kyle: Who wants to go out for a drink?
Megan: No, sorry, I'm cleaning the house today.
Roseanne: You've always loved cleaning, haven't you? I remember how angry you used to get with your brother for leaving a mess in the kitchen.
Vince: Yeah, she'd always yell at me, even though I was the one in charge when our parents were away.
Kyle: I don't get why it matters so much whether I clean my flat once a week or once a month. No one died from a bit of dust.
Megan: Remind me to never stay at your place :P
Roseanne: I'm somewhere in between. My house is always a mess, but I hate it when it's dirty.
Vince: What's the difference?
Roseanne: I can't stand when there's dust, crumbs on the floor etc., so I clean regularly. But I love it when all my stuff just lies around. When I put everything back on shelves or into cabinets, I keep on getting mad that I have to look for it, get up and take it out, and generally lose so much time. I like to have everything within my reach.
Vince: There's no better wardrobe than the armchair, right? XD
Kyle: I prefer the floor. There's more space on it :D
Megan: Just reading this gives me the creeps.
Kyle: Fine, go back to cleaning, we'll think of you while sharing a beer :D
Roseanne: Hey, I never said I can come. My hubby's away this weekend, so I have no one to leave the kids with ;(
Vince: Take them to Megan's place, they can help her clean :D
Megan: You know what? I don't care. I can watch your kids, Roseanne. Just bring them over.
Roseanne: But are you serious or just mad at us?
Megan: No, I'm serious. I like your kids. And they're nice enough that if I ask them to do something, they actually do it :D
Roseanne: LOL, okay. Actually, I think that when I tell them to go and help aunt Meg with cleaning, they'll think it's fun.
Vince: And when you tell them to clean their own rooms, they say you're a monster? :D
Roseanne: Exactly. But Bill for example always cleans the windows at my parents house. They don't even need to ask anymore, he simply knows it's his job.
Kyle: Do they pay him? :P
Roseanne: Well, sometimes. But still I think he likes doing it. I don't know, maybe it's because no one checks if he did it well, he's just left alone to do his thing, so he feels like a man in the house in a way?
Megan: Tell them I can pay with cookies if they help me.
Roseanne: The famous chocolate cookies?
Megan: Why not? I'm feeling generous today :D
Roseanne: Guys, I think I'm gonna change my mind about that beer. Meg, would you accept one more helper? :D
Megan: You're always welcome! But sorry boys, it's going to be a “girls only” event (except for little Billy). Otherwise my house will never get cleaned today :D | Roseanne wanted to go out for a beer with Kyle and Vince, and leave her kids with Megan. Megan will clean the house and give Roseanne's kids her famous chocolate cookies if they help, what made Roseanne change her mind, and she wants to join them. |

fisherman: Well that is just marvelous, thank you kind fish. How shall I recognize you in the future so that you do not get caught?
fish: Oh, how considerate of you to think of me! If you look on my right fin, it has a big chunk out of it - that was when Billy Bass over there got a smart idea, but I told him where to go. I'm the only one around here with it, so there's no mistaking me.
fisherman: Well, Billy Bass is soon going to be renamed Billy Breakfast!
fish: Haha! I like that! And yes, if I'm honest... If I could pick who you catch, he'd be the one. A bully. Always eating the smaller fish. Hey, you can get a 2-for-1!

Derek: As the Christmas time is almost upon us, I thought it may be a good idea to organise Secret Santa. What do you think?
Anna: It's a marvellous idea!
Michael: How does it work?
Derek: You draw the person for whom you're going to buy a gift.
Patricia: It's so cool! Please do it! Keep in mind that it must be a secret who everyone gets!
Michael: Oh, ok
Derek: Patricia's right. It's more fun when we don't tell each other who've got
Anna: Are we organising it just for our team or the whole department?
Derek: I don't know. I thought the department may be more fun, but then we don't know each other that well, so it may be quite troublesome to buy a right gift
Patricia: Yeah, but the point of Secret Santa is not buying precisely what the other person wants, but just having a bit of fun
Michael: I think we should stick to our team. There's the right number and I think 20 is enough
Anna: Hm, you may be right.
Derek: Ok, so now - price range. What do you reckon?
Patricia: 30?
Michael: It's quite a lot...
Patricia: Well, can you buy a decent gift for less than that? I'm not talking about buying someone a candle...
Anna: Hahaha, please guys don't buy each others candles...
Derek: Linda from HR loves candles
Patricia: Oh course she does
Michael: Can we make it 20 then?
Derek: For me it sounds fair
Patricia: I think it's ok
Anna: I agree, you can find something nice for 20 quid | Christmas is approaching. Derek proposes organising Secret Santa for the team. There are 20 people in the team. Anna, Michael and Patricia agree. The price range is 20 pounds. |
#Person1#: Would you consider buying a self-driving car?
#Person2#: I don't know. I guess I'd have to research a bit more about them before making that decision.
#Person1#: It will probably be a while before we are able to buy them anyway. We might be seeing self-driving trucks on the road pretty soon, though. Google wants to change the commercial trucking industry. Right now, there are over 3 million truck drivers in the US, so adding self-driving trucks would likely take away a lot of jobs. But many drivers might still be able to accompany their trucks and get a full night's sleep in the process.
#Person2#: Truck drivers cause a lot of accidents on the freeway, so I think I'd like to see self-driving trucks. It would make me feel safer on the road.
#Person1#: Really? I think it might make me feel less safe. A human driver is much more likely to react quickly to something unexpected. | #Person1# analyses the advantages and disadvantages of self-driving trucks. #Person2# thinks self-driving trucks would make #Person2# feel safer on the road, but #Person1# doesn't believe their ability to handle unexpected things. |

Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you I speak to both amendments in this group As I outlined under amendments 2I and 2J there are ongoing concerns about the potential costs for Welsh devolved authorities and the lack of quantifiable costs within the regulatory impact assessment Now it was absolutely clear from evidence that we received in this committee that unknown costs would be challenging and potentially problematic As I have mentioned previously these concerns would doubtless be most keenly felt in our hardpressed social services Furthermore the Welsh Local Government Association stated that there must be a commitment that whatever the costs are those costs are met because it is legislation that is being led by the National Assembly for Wales Now during evidence the Deputy Minister when asked about the reliance on a limited number of reporting of cases likely to happen and the potential for a degree of unknown costs stated : we are doing our very best to prepare to cover all eventualities that we can anticipate But you could not commit to a broad figure instead telling us that : we have to rely on what the people who run those organisations are telling us And : We have to measure it as we go along Given that devolved authorities need to plan their budgets for these changes we only think it is fair for the Welsh Government to provide sufficient funding to alleviate the cost implications of this Bill Now while amendment 11 makes reference to costs borne by local authorities and health boards I note that amendment 12 takes this further by including other devolved authorities that are not funded by Welsh Government Anticipating the Deputy Ministers response that few under this category if any at all would be affected by the Bill we are pursuing a principle here and it is agreement to the principle of providing sufficient funding that we are seeking from you as the Deputy Minister Now these are just two examples of Welsh Government legislation to date that have been underfunded The Active Travel Wales Act 2013 : last year the Economy Infrastructure and Skills Committee found that the Wales annual spend on walking and cycling is half that of Englands and one sixth of Hollands Furthermore the committee highlighted that the passing of the Act put a requirement on local authorities to continuously improve active travel routes but were constrained by the funding made available to them The Minister at the time announced a threeyear funding settlement of £60 million Now my local authority and other authorities that have done some monitoring on the active travel Act—they simply were not awarded sufficient funding to actually allow the active travel Act to become a meaningful piece of legislation and the same goes with the Wellbeing of Future Generations Wales Act 2015 This month the auditor general has raised concerns that the public services boards created under the Act were limited in their work and impact due to the lack of dedicated funding Outside of the Welsh Governments regional grant that can not be spent on projects councils often contribute through officer time or facilities but resources and capacity to support those PSBs remain a key risk as partners do not have the capacity to take on more The reason that I wanted these amendments placed in here is I genuinely do not believe that you have even envisioned what or even estimated the likely cost to be borne by the organisations and certainly our local authorities and health boards the impact this Bill is going to have | Janet Finch-Saunders said that there were ongoing concerns about the potential costs for Welsh devolved authorities and the lack of quantifiable costs within the regulatory impact assessment. While amendment 11 referred to costs borne by local authorities and health boards, Janet Finch-Saunders had noted that amendment 12 took this further by including other devolved authorities that were not funded by Welsh Government. Janet Finch-Saunders wanted these amendments because she genuinely did not believe that they had even envisioned what or even estimated the likely cost to be borne by the organizations, and certainly their local authorities and health boards, and the impact the Bill was going to have. |

Professor B: OK great So pause first of all I agree that we should hire Fey and start paying her Probably pay for the time she s put in as well do you know exactly how to do that or is Lila I mean you know what exactly do we do to to put her on the payroll in some way ?
Grad D: I m completely clueless but I m willing to learn
Professor B: OK Well you will have to Right So anyway So why do not you ask Lila and see what she says about you know exactly what we do for someone in th Well she s un she s not a a student she just graduated but anyway So i if I agree she sounded fine she a actually was pause more present and stuff than than she was in conversation so she did a better job than I would have guessed from just talking to her So I think that s great
Grad D: This is sort of what I gave her so this is for example h how to get to the student prison and I did not even spell it out here and in some cases I I spelled it out a little bit more thoroughly this is the information on on the low sunken castle and the amphitheater that never came up and so i if we give her even more instruments to work with I think the results are going to be even better
Professor B: Oh and then of course as she does it she will she will learn So that s great pause And also if she s willing to take on the job of organizing all those subjects and stuff that would be wonderful And she s actually she s going to graduate school in a kind of an experimental paradigm so I think this is all just fine in terms of h her learning things she s going to need to know to do her career | The Professor was very supportive of the idea of hiring Fey.
