#Person1#: Yes, madam? Can I help you?
#Person2#: Oh, yes, please. But you are just closing, aren't you?
#Person1#: Well, yes, we are, madam. The shop shuts down in five minutes.
#Person2#: I shall not keep you long then. It was about some saucepans you had in your window last week.
#Person1#: Last week, madam? I really can't remember which ones you mean. What were they like?
#Person2#: Oh, they were lovely. Sort of imitation wood, dark brown color, country-style you know, and the lids, if I remember rightly, they had a sort of leaf pattern, or was it flowers?
#Person1#: That's strange. I don't recognize any of the ones we had from that description. Are you sure they were in this shop?
#Person2#: Oh, you must know the ones I mean. They were on sale, a real bargain. Reduced to a quarter of the original price. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw them.
#Person1#: I am afraid the sales are over now, madam. And you know we all sold out of the saucepans .
#Person2#: I don't think you did, you know. My neighbor told me she saw some here only yesterday.
#Person1#: Well, it's all new stock in the window now.
#Person2#: May I just have a look, to see if there is anything else?
#Person1#: Eh, well, madam, as you know we are closing.
#Person2#: Yes, yes, I am sorry I won't keep you. It must get on your nerves when customers come in right at closing time. But they were such beautiful saucepans. I'd have bought them if I had made up my mind on the spot.
#Person1#: Perhaps madam, if you come back tomorrow, I could show you the whole range of kitchen ware. And there are still one or two things at the sale price.
#Person2#: Oh, look! That was the one there. That is the sort of thing I was looking for. But it's not quite the color.
#Person1#: That might be the artificial lighting, madam. Of course, if you could come back in daylight, you might find it's exactly what you are looking for.

#Person1#: How do you feel about flying?
#Person2#: I don't mind flying. What I don't like is not being able to keep an eye on my luggage. Whenever the man at the airport hakes my luggage, I never expect to see again.
#Person1#: There is always a chance it will fly to Paris while you fly to Rome. Has anything like that ever happened to you?
#Person2#: No, but it has happened to other people. Just the other day. I heard about a Japanese woman who lost her suitcase. It was a true story. She was on one of those five-day tours around Europe.
#Person1#: Where did her suitcase get lost?
#Person2#: I don't think she ever find out. When she arrived in Europe, her suitcase wasn't there. She had to travel through four countries in the same clothes.
#Person1#: I suppose she bought another toothbrush at least. Couldn't she buy another dress?

Project Manager: If people really do not use those buttons to any extent at all remove them altogether
Marketing: Just remove them completely ?
Project Manager: We we could actually have we could actually have a remote control with I wonder whether we could get the remote control with no buttons at all if we went for voice recognition given that the now the the age structure we were looking at I mean w we had usage by age structure what we did not have was what proportion of people using remotes were in those particular age groups Now do we know whether they Forty no sorry for forty five to fifty five age group to put myself right in the middle of it you use remote controls to a great extent
Marketing: no this is for pay more for speech recognition
Project Manager: That would ve speech recogn right So we are looking at well again we do not know the relative proportion the relative numbers in the age groups If we wanted something different truly different then the buttonless remote control w would be it
Industrial Designer: P Well the only problem I can think of with that is if you have got a lot of people that do not want to be bothered learning how to use new rem remote controls If you just kind of take away everything that they are used to knowing that is going to be quite a change
Project Manager: But if you just lift it up and say channel one or BBC
Marketing: Or even I mean you could even just have it left on You could just put it down once on top your TV and never have to
User Interface: have a big kind of like the satellite box or the cable box and have it just go on the TV and then it does not matter where in the room you are you will not lose it
Project Manager: It c well it I can I can see technical problems with that in terms of the you know the sound from the television because if somebody actually on the television says you know ITV and you are watching BBC then then it might change itself so it probably needs to be possibly actually need a button on it Or or something just to identify that you have lifted it up and it is use And and then just say oh I do not know a thought and and then I mean that that would certainly be truly different because you know audio settings nought point eight percent I mean if they were not there would people miss them ?
Industrial Designer: But look at the importance of them The volume settings
Marketing: Relevance of two out of ten
Industrial Designer: They are not used often but they are quite important when they are used
Project Manager: w we need to s identify things that people actually need and and it is a function of frequency and relevance And I would say ignoring ig ignoring power for the moment the channel and volume and th w w given given that we have been told to ignore teletext channel and volume are the only ones that would appear to be essential | Age group data for remote control use was not available; many people may not want to learn to use the new remote control; some buttons are still needed, such as channel control, volume settings and on/off. |

#Person1#: OK. how does this sound, let's get you suited up and hit the dance club tonight. I hear that an awesome DJ is playing and there will be a lot of pretty single girls there!
#Person2#: You know, I could really go for that. You don't mind being my wingman for tonight?
#Person1#: Not at all! It be fun! It will be like a boys'night out. . . well kinda. . .
#Person2#: Great! I must warn you though, whatever happens, don't let me go on a drinking binge. Trust me, it's not a pretty picture! | Tom is homesick and didn't go to the party last night, so #Person1# tells Tom how he overtook the loneliness when he missed home and #Person1# decides to take Tom to a dance club.

#Person1#: Excuse me, do you have any English songs?
#Person2#: Yes, we do. They are all in this book.
#Person1#: Great, thanks.
#Person2#: No problem. Just give us a few minutes more to pull them up, though. We don't get that many English singers!
#Person1#: Oh, I see. | #Person2# gives #Person1# a book which has English songs. |
peasant: Yes, I work hard and dependably all week long. But this being the sabbath I walked the miles here to see if I could find a man of letters.
knight: I may not be the best with letters, but I'll try. Let me go to the king and queen real quick, so I could get paper and ink from them.
peasant: Oh would you!? I will be forever grateful Sir.
knight: Yes, yes. I have just gotten some papers and ink from them. I'll get working on writing them now.
peasant: Please tell him his Papa misses him. And so does Bessie. (she is our cow)
knight: ...Strange for you to name a cow. But I am writing it down on this paper right now.
peasant: Well..... his Mama died in childbirth you see. So Bessie was his wet nurse.
knight: ...Interesting. So, is there anything else you may want me to write on this letter?

#Person1#: Hi there, can I help you folks?
#Person2#: I'm just browsing. seeing what's on the lot. My daughter wants a car for her birthday, you know how it is.
#Person3#: Dad! I'm sixteen already and I'm, like, the only one at school who doesn't have a car!
#Person1#: She is right, you know. Kids these days all have cars. Let me show you something we just got in, a 1996 sedan. Excellent gas mileage, it has dual airbags and anti lock brakes. a perfect vehicle for a young driver.
#Person3#: Dad, I love it! It's awesome! Can we get this one please?
#Person2#: I see. . . What can you tell me about this one?
#Person1#: Oh, that's just an old World War Two tank that we use for TV commercials. Now about this sedan. . .
#Person2#: Whoa, whoa wait a minute. Tell me more about this tank.
#Person1#: Well, Sir, if you are looking for quality and safety then look no further! Three inches of reinforced steel protect your daughter from short range missile attacks.
#Person2#: Does the sedan protect her from missile attacks?
#Person1#: It does not.
#Person2#: Well, I don't know. Let me sleep on it.
#Person1#: Did I mention the tank is a tank?
#Person2#: I'll take it!
#Person3#: Dad! | #Person2# is browsing to choose a car for his daughter. #Person1# recommends a 1996 sedan with an excellent condition. #Person2#'s daughter loves it but #Person2# prefers the tank because it may protect his daughter from missile attacks. |
torturer: It is a mighty fine blade. Almost seems sacrilegious to have to put it to use. However.... I will take great joy in using it.
groom: When will the first job be done? I would like to watch it in use.
torturer: Oh... soon, soon. I'm sure you will be present for it.... Now tell me, how is your lovely bride to be?
groom: Oh she is amazing. She is excited to be wed to start a family as well. Could not be happier. Life is good!
torturer: Ahhh. The families always make this part hard. But you did bring it open yourself you know. Or didn't you think the King would find out? You'll get to see exactly what this fine blade of yours can do....
groom: I guess you are not used to hitting targets who aren't chained up. Lets see how you do with a moving target.

Francis: Yep. It's on our server. I'll send you a link in the next mail.
Greg: What about the deadlines?
Francis: We need to be more strict. Some linguists are not quite punctual.
Jolene: Then we have delays in all the 2 phase...
Greg: So what are the options? More people on the task?
Francis: More realistic deadlines I suppose.
Jolene: What about Project X File?
Francis: This is the most urgent.
Greg: You want me to help Ellie with that? Maybe she needs some extra there?

Project Manager: Right well this is the kickoff meeting for our our project and this is just what we are going to be doing over the next twenty five minutes so first of all just to kind of make sure that we all know each other I am Laura and I am the project manager Do you want to introduce yourself again ?
Industrial Designer: Hi I am David and I am supposed to be an industrial designer
Marketing: And I am Andrew and I am our marketing
User Interface: I am Craig and I am User Interface
Project Manager: Great so we are designing a new remote control and Oh I have to record who is here actually So that is David Andrew and Craig is not it ? And you all arrived on time so des design a new remote control as you can see it is supposed to be original trendy and user friendly so that is kind of our our brief as it were and so there are three different stages to the design I am not really sure what what you guys have already received in your emails What did you get ? | The group was greeting each other at the first meeting. Laura was the Project Manager. David was Industrial Designer and Andrew was Marketing expert. And User Interface was named Craig. |
Professor C: So as I understand you know he s using all the machines and you are using all the machines is the rough division of
PhD F: Exactly you know I I sort of got started comment using the recognizer just recently and I fired off a training job and then I fired off a recognition job and I get this email about midnight from Andreas saying `` are you running two trainings simultaneously s my m my jobs are not getting run `` So I had to back off a little bit But soon as we get some more machines then then we will have more compute available So that s just a quick update about what we ve got So
Grad G: I have I have a question about the parallelization ? So let s say I have like a thousand little little jobs to do ? how do I do it with `` run command `` ? I mean do
PhD F: You could write a script which called run command on each sub job
Grad G: huh A thousand times ?
PhD F: right ? But you probably want to be careful with that because you do not want to saturate the network so you know you should you should probably not run more than say ten jobs yourself at any one time just because then it would keep other people
Grad G: Oh too much file transfer and stuff
PhD F: Well it s not that so much as that you know e with if everybody ran fifty jobs at once then it would just bring everything to a halt and you know people s jobs would get delayed so it s sort of a sharing thing so you should try to limit it to somet sometim some number around ten jobs at a time So if you had a script for example that had a thousand things it needed to run you would somehow need to put some logic in there if you were going to use `` run command `` to only have ten of those going at a time And then when one of those finished you would fire off another one
Professor C: I remember I I forget whether it was when the Rutgers or or Hopkins workshop I remember one of the workshops I was at there were everybody was real excited cuz they got twenty five machines and there was some kind of P make like thing that sit sent things out So all twenty five people were sending things to all twenty five machines and and things were a lot less efficient than if you would just use your own machine | The professor recalled that at a workshop at Hopkins or Rutgers, twenty-five participants were running their tasks on twenty-five machines. Things would have been better if they ran tasks on their own machine. He was adding to PhD F's remarks on students in the team doing a similar thing. |
Jeniffer: Where is the concert?
Pola: In the big stadium
Andrew: where all big pop-stars play, c'mon | The big stadium holds the concert. |
Grad C: and so we had a meeting on Friday talking about how to avoid that and it proved finally fruitful in the sense that we came up with a new scenario for how to get the the subject m to really have intentions and sort of to act upon those and there the idea is now that next actually we we need to hire one more person to actually do that job because it it s getting more complicated So if you know anyone interested in in what i m about to describe tell that person to to write a mail to me or Jerry soon fast the idea now is to sort of come up with a high level of sort of abstract tasks `` go shopping `` `` take in a batch of art `` `` visit do some sightseeing `` blah blah blah blah blah sort of analogous to what Fey has started in in in compiling compiling here and already she has already gone to the trouble of of anchoring it with specific o comment entities and real world places you will find in Heidelberg And So out of these f s these high level categories the subject can pick a couple such as if if there is a cop a category in emptying your roll of film the person can then decide `` OK I want to do that at this place `` sort of make up their own itinerary a and and tasks and the person is not allowed to take sort of this h high level category list with them but the person is able to take notes on a map that we will give him and the map will be a tourist s sort of schematic representation with with symbols for the objects And so the person can maybe make a mental note that `` ah I wanted to go shopping here `` and `` I wanted to maybe take a picture of that `` and `` maybe eat here `` and then goes in and solves the task with the system IE comment Fey and and we are going to try out that Any questions ?
Grad G: so y you will have those say somewhere what their intention was so you still have the the nice thing about having data where you know what the actual intention was ? But they will There s nothing that says you know `` these are the things you want to do `` so they will say `` well these are the things I want to do `` and Right so they will have a little bit more natural interaction ?
Grad F: So they will be given this map which means that they will not have to like ask the system for in for like high level information about where things are ?
Grad C: it s a schematic tourist map So it will be i it will still require the that information and An
Grad G: It w it does not have like streets on it that would allow them to figure out their way
Grad C: N not not not really the street network Nuh
Grad E: So you are just saying like what part of town the things are in or whatever ?
Grad C: a and the map is more a means for them to have the buildings and their names and maybe some ma ma major streets and their names and we want to maybe ask them if you have get it sort of isolated street the the whatever `` River Street `` and they know that they have decided that yes that s where they want to do this kind of action that they have it with them and they can actually read them or sort of have the label for the object because it s too hard to memorize all these st strange German names And then we are going to have another we are going to have w another trial run IE the first with that new setup tomorrow at two and we have a real interesting subject which is Ron Kay for who those who know him he s the founder of ICI So he will he s around seven seventy years old or something
Grad G: I did not know he was the founder That s OK
Grad C: And he also approached me and he offered to help our project and he was more thinking about some high level thinking tasks and I said `` sure we need help you can come in as a subject `` and he said `` OK `` So that s what s going to happen tomorrow data
Grad G: Using this new new plan
Grad C: Which I will hopefully sort of scrape together t But thanks to Fey we already have sort of a nice blueprint and I can work with that Questions ? Comments on that ? If not we can move on No ? No more questions ?
Grad E: I m not sure I totally understand this
Grad G: So what s the s this is what you made Fey ?
Grad E: but I m not sure I totally understand everything that s being talked about
Grad G: Like so So it s just based on like the materials you had about Heidelberg
Grad C: are you familiar with with the with the very rough setup of the data ?
Grad E: but I I imagine I will c just catch on
Undergrad D: Based on the web site at the
Grad G: Oh OK there s a web site and then you could like figure out what the cate
Undergrad D: It s a tourist information web site
Grad E: this is where they are supposed to
Grad C: Talk to a machine and it breaks down and then the human comes on The question is just sort of how do we get the tasks in their head that they have an intention of doing something and have a need to ask the system for something without giving them sort of a clear wording or phrasing of the task Because what will happen then is that people repeat repeat comment or as much as they can of that phrasing
Grad G: are you worried about being able to identify The The goals that we ve d you guys have been talking about are this these you know identifying which of three modes their question concerns So it s like the Enter versus View
Grad C: we we we will sort of get a protocol of the prior interaction right ? That s where the instructor the person we are going to hire and the subjects sit down together with these high level things and so th the q first question for the subject is `` so these are things you know we thought a tourist can do Is there anything that interests you ? `` And the person can say `` sure sh this is something I would do I would go shopping `` ? and then we can sort of this s instructor can say `` well then you you may want to find out how to get over here because this is where the shopping district is ``
Grad G: So the interaction beforehand will give them hints about how specific or how whatever though the kinds of questions that are going to ask during the actual session ?
Grad C: No Just sort of OK what what what would you like to buy and then OK there you want to buy a whatever cuckoos clocks OK and the there is a store there So the task then for that person is t finding out how to get there right ? That s sort of what s left And we know that the intention is to enter because we know that the person wants to buy a cuckoos clock
Grad G: OK that s what I mean so like those tasks are all going to be unambiguous about which of the three modes
PhD A: Well so the idea is to try to get the actual phrasing that they might use and try to interfere as little as possible with their choice of words
Grad G: t That they will be here ?
Grad C: Yes In a sense that s exactly the the the idea which is never possible in a in a s in a lab situation
PhD A: Well you you the one experiment th that that that I ve read somewhere it was they you used pictures So to to actually specify the the tasks but you know i i
Grad C: We had exactly that on our list of possible way things so we I even made a sort of a silly thing how that could work how you control you are here you you want to know how to get someplace and this is the place and it s a museum and you want to do some and and and there s a person looking at pictures So you know this is exactly getting someplace with the intention of entering and looking at pictures However not only was the common census were among all participants of Friday s meeting was it s going to be very laborious to to make these drawings for each different things all the different actions if at all possible and also people will get caught up in the pictures So all of a sudden we will get descriptions of pictures in there And people talking about pictures and pictorial representations I would s I would still be willing to try it
PhD A: I mean I I m I m not saying it s necessary but but i i you might be able to combine you know text and and some sort of picture and also I think it it will be a good idea to show them the text and kind of chew the task and then take the test away the the the the the text away so that they are not guided by by by what you wrote but can come up with their with their own
Grad C: they will have no more linguistic matter in front of them when they enter this room | The new system for collecting subject intention focused on allowing subjects to come up with the intent themselves. Instead of giving them a list of goals, the subjects would, with the help of an instructor, figure out what they want to do in the environment. The earlier interaction with the instructor would give them a sense of how specific their goals in the environment could be. Another idea was to use pictures for people to help determine their intention, but the manufacturing of pictures seemed to be a very intensive project. |

#Person1#: Let's start to study how to use computers, Paubler. It's good to know that a computer has two major parts, the hardware and the software.
#Person2#: What's the hardware?
#Person1#: The hardware of computer is basically all the concrete things you can touch with your hands and see with your eyes.
#Person2#: That's seems obvious enough. Then what about the software?
#Person1#: The software of computer is all the programmes inside the computer that allow you to use the computer to do things.
#Person2#: I see, actually the hardware is the easy part, I do want to study how to use the software.
#Person1#: Right you are, Paubler, and since what you want to learn is how to use software, we should also learn to refer to the computer menus.
#Person2#: Ever since I saw computer can do your project, I wanted to have a computer. | #Person1# teaches Paubler how to use computers, sharing knowledge about hardware and software. Paubler wants to have a computer. |

caretaker: Sometimes to suffer is nessecary to bring us closer to his holiness.
mourner: I suppose you are right. I hope my suffering pleases his Holiness.
caretaker: It is not that it pleases him, just that it tends to make one look to something more for comfort, for we ourselves are weak.
mourner: I see, the ways of his Holiness are still so mysterious to me. I can not fathom how I could be so weak
caretaker: I suppose we all can be, it is just what drives us to that point.
mourner: Do you not get sad working here all the time? It must be so depressing
caretaker: No I cannot say I do, if to suffer is holy I'll bear my share of the pain.
mourner: You must be so strong then. I couldn't survive a day alone in this dismal and decrepit graveyard!
caretaker: The heavier a burden a person is able to carry without breaking the stronger they become.
Summarize the dialogue | caretaker explains to mourner that suffering can bring one closer to God. |

Project Manager: then I would say two or three
Industrial Designer: Wait what is the scale one to seven right ?
User Interface: Ones highish is not it ? Ah so two or three
Marketing: Let us go with two point five then
Project Manager: Well it has the wee jogdial
Marketing: so we have had to remove a few of our features we wanted
Project Manager: I would go with three or four
Industrial Designer: but going towards a little bit higher than medium kind of thing
Marketing: Style reflects a fruit inspired colour design I should not have said colour but just
Industrial Designer: the blue the blue colours and do not re do not actually represent the colour
Project Manager: Well that is kind of
Industrial Designer: except for the b the the red button they because for want of a
Project Manager: But the yellow I mean it could be a lemon yellow colour
Industrial Designer: the the yellow is more representative of the colour but the button itself the blue can be anything else
Marketing: so we will go two ? and design is simple to use simple in features
Project Manager: Well I mean it is really basic looking is not it ?
Marketing: F f f fairly basic
Project Manager: I mean I would give that nearly a one
Marketing: one ? soft and spongy have we achieved that ? We have used mostly plastic in the end so it is going to be quite a bit of a compromise for price
User Interface: I think it is about five
Project Manager: Five ? That is really low
User Interface: well we have to use plastic so it is probably going to be
Marketing: could we have used an entirely rubber frame to it ? Was that an option ?
Industrial Designer: I think it will be cost prohibitive
User Interface: I think I would probably increase the cost
Marketing: It would cost more than plastic
User Interface: We have only got like what ten cents left so
Marketing: logo we have got it in there have not we ?
Project Manager: Yep Going To have that on the side are not we like there or something ?
Marketing: Huh And it is within budget yep It is is not it ? so we can say then that out of a possible or what would be our goal here ?
Project Manager: Out of forty nine I guess
Marketing: out of forty nine with with zero being the highest We are at two seven eight ten fifteen point five So it is pretty good Translates to something like about approximately seventy two percent efficacy of our original goal Right ? I think because if you turn that into a hundred it would be about and then invert that it is
Project Manager: So ab well about sixty nine seventy percent
Marketing: Oh right about seventy seventy percent good That was just a little formality for us to go through Yep oh hundred pound pen
Project Manager: Is that you all have all finished or
Marketing: that is that is me I did have one other one other frame I thought I mean I I d not knowing how we would deal with this information I thought in theory this kind of a process would be about refining our design revisiting our original goals It is not something I need to p push through but I thought should we thinking more about the dimensions sort of like more of a three dimensional shapes as well as opposed to just that flat Could our design involve a series of colours so that it is more of like a line where we have like sort of the I do not know like the harvest line or the vibrant I do not know the Whatever just some theme and then we have different tones lime green lemon It is just discussion I mean obviously we can just abandon this it is fine I am just thinking about what we originally set out to do yep so there That is all
Project Manager: great are you submitting the the evaluation criteria or am I ? I do not know what your instructions have been
Marketing: I think to record it and I have not been asked to submit it yet
Project Manager: just wondering if I need to include it in the minutes because if you are submitting it anyway then
Industrial Designer: It keeps getting too big
Project Manager: Cool right well next up then because we have done finance is the project evaluation
Industrial Designer: Kay I am I am listening I am just trying to incorporate the logo into the the thing so I am playing with the PlayDoh as well Just in case you are wondering why is he still playing with the PlayDoh ?
Project Manager: Right well do you want to just individually say what you think about about these four points and or not those four points my four points sorry forgotten that You got a different
Marketing: Yep I like those printer cables that just have the two little butterfly clips like that
Project Manager: Oh they are good are not they here we are as a note we will do this alphabetically do you want to start Andrew ?
Marketing: Sure so what is it you are asking of me now ?
Project Manager: I do not know just your opinion on those four those four points really and how we used them
Marketing: Or sort of our work on setting this up Well is it I will just go through your system then The the room is fairly institutional but the main thing is I think our use of this space is more just to report on things as opposed to be creative and constructive and it would probably help to have l sort of a cumulative effect of we have ideas and we come back and then the ideas are still in discussion you know as in other words this this room is sort of a centre point of creativity whereas in reality as we have gone through this it is not really the centre point of creativity it is more just a
Project Manager: Well d do you feel though that that you were able to have quite a lot of creative input into the thing ?
Marketing: d debating but that is just the thing is the quest in terms of the the first point there the room it feels as though the creativity goes on when we leave and then we come here and then we kind of put out our ideas and then you know
Project Manager: But I do not I do not think it means the room as in this room I think it means like you know
Marketing: Oh oh right right oh right room for creativ Oh right I just looked up and saw whiteboard digital pens the room
Project Manager: Well I do not know do you th I think it means I think it means did you feel you were able to give creative input so
Marketing: Sorry Huh I th on th dif answering the question in those terms I would say that actually there is sort of a tease of creativity because we are asked to work through this but actually the guidelines are fairly contrived in terms of fashion trends say fruit and vegetable colour scheme but then i then we are told use the co company company colours So what do we do We are told think in terms of style and look and feel and technology but build something for twelve and a half pounds so actually the creativity was more more of like a a f sort of a f formality then an actual
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
Project Manager: Very good what about leadership ? I do not know if that means like if I did a good job or something I do not really know
Marketing: well well I mean my sense on that is sort of what kind of guidance and direction encouragement
Project Manager: From like your personal coach person and stuff like that do you think maybe ?
Marketing: from and you as well I think just sort of acting as team leader I think I think it is I think it is good I mean my personal views on on leadership is that effective effective leadership sort of gives people a certain room for freedom and delegation but then to come back with something that they take great ownership and you know innovative thought with In in reality I think here the the different elements of leadership such as the the original b briefing and then the personal coach and the and then you know having having you with your the meeting agenda is actually quite a quite a quite a con confining framework to work within And so it is leadership almost to the point of sort of disempowering the the the team member so But it is not bad leadership it is just sort of s fairly strong you know It turns it turns the individual into more of like a sort of a predetermined mechanism as opposed to a sort of a free
Project Manager: So you think maybe a little too controlling or
Marketing: oh without without a doubt
Industrial Designer: I think controlling is not the right word I think the interactions are very structured I think structure is probably what you are saying that each individual is structured to one particular task and one parti rather than controlling I do not think there is a sense of control because all the decisions have been made in terms of a like a consensus right we go around and we think about it but that you know process actually says you have to do it in a certain way It does not tell you you know some ways that you might want to be a bit more creative in terms of the process you know not the
Marketing: did you want to comment Craig ?
User Interface: reckon that was a bit hard because we could only discuss things in the meeting If we could just go up to somebody outside the meeting and have a quick talk with them that would have been a lot easier
Industrial Designer: I think you tried to use the common share folder to to to to communicate but it just comes back to us so slow in the email it it does not have a you know a messenger will go
Project Manager: Did did you guys get the email I sent you ? I was wondering if that got there so to s to to summarize the teamwork issue saying that if we could communicate outside the meeting you know just like quick questions quick thoughts whatever it probably would be bit easier
Industrial Designer: I think the tools that they were given the tool set that were given to us are fancy but they do not support collaboration I think that is the word They do not support the team working together you know
Marketing: exactly I mean if you
Industrial Designer: they are still very individual tools
Marketing: I mean sort of taking upon that idea w the way I see this i is that it is the the s the structure in which we have we have approached this whole task is quite contrary to the p principle of teamwork because the the tasks were d d sort of divided and then the work went on in isolation I I do not know what you guys did while you were together maybe that was a bit different but but but actually if you if you imagine not entire the completely same task given to us but us said first thing we have to do is come up with let us say a design concept and we sit here together and do it well that is what teamwork is To s to say go off and do not talk to each other it is actually p sort of predisposes you to quite the contrary of teamwork not that we have not done I think the best we could have done I am not dissatisfied with it
Project Manager: Right anything else to say on teamwork at all ? what about the you know how we used the whiteboard the digital pens the projector stuff like that ? did anybody think anything was like really useful anything was pretty un f unsupportive ?
Marketing: I think the whiteboard for me is the kind of thing I would use all the time but it is not quite as useful as to us as it could have been maybe just in the way that we we use it in the sense that once we have an idea out there or while work was going on in between meetings that could have been up on a board you know as opposed to in like in text and then we could then keep our ideas sort of building on that I know that people who design cars and you know in aviation they quite often just have a simple like fibreglass prototype and it is completely you know abs abstract from the final product but they use it as a kind of a context to sort of walk around and puzzle and and point and discuss
Project Manager: Mmhmm And point at ?
Marketing: and and and in a way everybodys as we discuss things in the in theoretically and out of our notebooks we are just we are actually just each of us discussing something that is in each of our own minds It was not until we had this here you know like at one point I peeked across and looked at Craigs paper and I am like now I know what he is thinking because I saw his book But the b the b whiteboard could have actually been this kind of continuing
Project Manager: So do you think producing a prototype earlier in the process would have been a good idea ?
Industrial Designer: I think the the focus of it a lot was the PowerPoint as opposed to the to the whiteboard and I think that m is also does you know hinder us and things I think It will be cooler to have the whiteboard rather than the the PowerPoint or maybe the whiteboard and the PowerPoint in the same place you know in the centre of the
Marketing: because the PowerPoint was provided to us while we had time to prepare whereas I can imagine if I would been encouraged to use Paintbrush for example or whatever I would have actually used it ca you know just because that is sorta how we what we were set up to to use while we had our time
Industrial Designer: I think that there were too many PowerPoints in the meetings Because the plugin and the plugging spent we spent a lot of time doing that And a lot of the information on the PowerPoints I do not think you know we needed to actually it could have we could have gone through it verbally I felt that they just you know as opposed to having to present them
Project Manager: What about the digital pens did you find them easy enough to use ?
User Interface: Oh they are a bit clunky
Industrial Designer: Having to tick it before you go off was a bit hindering as well because you are half way through a thought and then you run out of paper and then you have to jump
Project Manager: I know I think at the very start of today I like wrote a whole load of stuff did not click note on one then went back and wrote one tiny wee thing on the another page but then did click note and so I am quite worried that I have just written over the top of it or something but they will have my paper anyway and have not done that since
Industrial Designer: But I think the pen is v is very intuitive everybody knows how to use it we do not have to worry So I think the pens good It is about the best thing
Marketing: And o on the topic of the technology it just occurred to me that we actually did not need to move our computers because each computer has all of the files It just occurred to me that they all
Industrial Designer: we only needed one computer and
Marketing: We only actually needed one computer If there had been a fifth that coulda just been sitting there ready to go the whole time
Industrial Designer: And the computer may not be conducive to a meeting because you tend to look at your computer and want to have the urge to check something you know
Project Manager: Do you think the computers just provide distraction in a meeting ?
Industrial Designer: I think too many computers are just distracting
Project Manager: I know I I like to have things written down in front of me actually like a lot of the stuff that was emailed to me I ended up you know like writing down there or something so I could look at it really quickly and not have the distraction of all of that I do not know about anybody else what else any wh I do I am not really sure what they are looking for when they say new ideas found I do not know is
User Interface: Is this for the project or
Project Manager: could you think of like anything else that would have been helpful today at all ?
Marketing: Well the w main one for me is that the process na in a natural f context would not have been interrupted by this necessity to discommunicate ourselves from each other
Project Manager: Mm if we just had
Marketing: So that is kind of a new idea for me is like just sort of that idea well you know it is kind of s hard to keep f working forward on a team a team based project when when you are told you must now work away from your team
Project Manager: Mmhmm I I do not know I think it was quite good that we had time limits on the meetings because they really could have run on and like my experience with meetings is that they really do and you can spend a lot of time talking about The only thing is though like when we had our meeting about the conceptual design I thought there maybe another fifteen minutes would have been useful there but I really thi i I think maybe if we would like all been working in the one room and they just said you know like every hour or something everybody make sure yo you know just have a have a short meeting and then just c just to have like something written down just like you know a a milestone if you like rather than having meetings but There you go so in closing I have not got my five minutes to go Thin Oh there it i Five minutes to go Wonderful are the costs within the budget yes they are And is the project evaluated yes it is So now celebrate
Industrial Designer: And we have Ninja Homer
Marketing: So it So now we
Project Manager: Well apparently now I write the final report What are you guys doing now ?
User Interface: Do we know what the other ones are ?
Marketing: I I do not know
Project Manager: You do not know ?
User Interface: Hey I said Ninja Homer
Marketing: What did you call it ?
Industrial Designer: Ninja Homer See it looks like Homer Simpson but it is electronic so it is made in Japan
Project Manager: So is that j is that just is that just a logo or does it do anything ?
Industrial Designer: it is just a logo
Project Manager: Just a logo and then like Ninja Homer
Industrial Designer: The the red is supposed to represent the whatever else you want to print on the side of it
Project Manager: I think it is quite nice
Industrial Designer: you can throw Homer when you are frustrated doh
Project Manager: Oh no that is cool it is got I am kind of I am slightly gutted that we could not get plastic and rubber I think that would have been nice Ah well maybe from now on real reaction should give us more money
Industrial Designer: Oh I did learn something new PlayDoh is useful No it is it is It is useful and in in in in in in in conceptualizing in being creative Because like you say it is something you can put your hands on and feel and touch and get a sense for Like we were playing with the PlayDoh and the ideas came with the PlayDoh rather than with everything else You might want to write that down It is just I am just fiddling with the PlayDoh and I am going it is kind of cool
User Interface: Guess I would forgot how good s PlayDoh smells
Project Manager: it smells funny does not it
Marketing: And some PlayDohs are actually I think edible are not they ?
Industrial Designer: No all PlayDoh is edible
User Interface: I think they are all nontoxic because it is aimed for like twoyearolds
Project Manager: I think it has to be
Industrial Designer: It is just wheat it is the stuff that your mom could make with preservatives and
Project Manager: wha what are your summarising words about PlayDoh ?
Industrial Designer: It is helpful to the creative process it engages all your senses not just your sight but your sense of feel your sense of touch And it helps you to understand dimension as well I think that that is very helpful because it it starts to pop up whereas on a piece of paper on a computer on a board even with a three D graphic thing it still it requires a lot of
User Interface: it is not very tangible
Industrial Designer: tangible that is a nice word
Project Manager: Mm I do not know if there is anything else we needed to discuss That that is about it really Just sit still I guess for a little while
Marketing: Do we retreat to our to continue our
Industrial Designer: I think we could probably do it here as long as we do not collaborate
Marketing: r reporting or what i
Project Manager: Well I do not know I am sure the little the little thingll pop up any minute now
Industrial Designer: Can we turn off the microphones ?
Project Manager: if the meetings over then I guess so | Project Manager wanted the members to evaluate the whole process of the project, such as the system, leadership, teamwork, and tools given. The meeting system was considered creative yet inefficient as the early designs were found generally out of budget. As for leadership, the process was a bit too structured. As for teamwork, additional communications like the quick talk could further prompt the current system. Besides, the tools given were criticized for the isolation of each's tasks and thoughts. |

#Person1#: Police in North London are treating as murder the death of a man thought to be in his forties whose body was found in a pedestrian subway in Neasden. The man leading the hunt is Detective Chief Superintendent John Day, who explains what they know of the man's movements in the early hours of this morning.
#Person2#: What we've learned is the fact that he left the Level One Club, which is a drinking club in Neasden Lane, about 1:30 a.m., and we're trying to account for movements up till 2:15 a. m., because it was about that time he was found by a member of the club, an employee. He was found in the underpass, the pedestrian way, under the North Circular Road. Death was due to multiple head injuries. We understand that there may have been two girls and a man who was drunk in close proximity to the entrance to the subway, who may have seen the man walking in that direction, or any attacker who may have been following him.
#Person1#: About what time would you think that they were there?
#Person2#: Just after half past one to a quarter past two.
#Person1#: Then in that case the gap you have is really quite short. It's only more or less half a hour or forty minutes.
#Person2#: In fact, yes, as short as that.
#Person1#: And how far away from the Neasden underpass was the drinking club?
#Person2#: Fifty meters.
#Person1#: And at the moment you know of no other people in the area whom you want to talk to, other than the drunken man and the two women who were seen with him or near him at some time?
#Person2#: Yes. The club closed at half past one and there may have been other people who left the club who went that way. We understand that there were also minicab drivers parked in the area who may have seen something as well.
#Person1#: As it is, I take it you haven't been able to identify them.
#Person2#: No, not at this stage.
#Person1#: Well, thank you very much. | John Day is telling #Person1# what they've known of the dead man's movements in the early hours of the morning, and there may be three witnesses, two girls and a man, but he hasn't been able to identify more. |

#Person1#: Janice how much do you pay for insurance?
#Person2#: Which kind?I have many kinds of insurance. There's car insurance, home insurance, life insurance.
#Person1#: Ah, car insurance?
#Person2#: Let me see. I pay $100 a month.
#Person1#: Wow, that's cheap. I pay twice that much.
#Person2#: Well, there are a couple of good reasons for that. For one men always cost more to insure than women.
#Person1#: What? How can you say that?
#Person2#: Well, if you look at the number of car accidents in the US that cost insurance companies a lot of money. Most of them are caused by men.
#Person1#: You're saying that I'm paying too much money because what other guys are doing wrong.
#Person2#: Exactly.
#Person1#: But I'm a great driver.
#Person2#: Really? How many accidents have you been in this past year?
#Person1#: I don't know. 3 or 4 I guess? But only one of them was my fault. OK. It may be 2 of them.
#Person2#: Right. Do you know how many I've been in over that same period?
#Person1#: Let me guess. 0.
#Person2#: Bingo.
#Person1#: So that's the real reason why your insurance is so low. You don't drive enough.
#Person2#: I think you missed the point. | #Person1# pays twice the price of car insurance than Janice does. Janice thinks men always cost more to insure because most car accidents are caused by men. #Person1# thinks Janice spends less on insurance because Janice drives less. |

Dr David Blaney: The machinery depends on having a body like HEFCW doing some of that role and the people who lend money to institutions are absolutely clear about that So we have relationships with the banks they come and see us every now and again—typically not to talk about individual clients but just to talk about what we do and how we do it Interestingly for example when Michael Barber got up before Christmas and said there will be no bailouts of universities we had banks on the phone to us within a couple of days wanting just to talk about how it is in Wales and is it still how it used to be So they are very keenly aware of what we do So it is not really a governance failure it is just that the machinery includes us
Hefin David AM: that is important And one of the things from a distance—I mean I have been involved in different ways in an institution and looking at the institutions from a distance There are people as you say involved and people always make the difference in different cultures Do you find that the relationships between executive teams and governors is effective and are they sufficiently robust and challenging as well ? Those executive permanent staff and the governors—is there challenge there ?
Dr David Blaney: I would say in the main yes Occasionally we help the governors to ask the right questions so occasionally that external perspective we have just discussed is helpful in that regard Actually there are times when there are tensions between the executive and governing bodies inevitably—that is not something that is remarkable—and we can feel that as well We have conversations with both governing bodies and executives
Hefin David AM: And that can become apparent from a public point of view as well—you know media reports and—
Dr David Blaney: Yes sometimes these things can spill and the governing bodies also include student representation staff representation who are typically union reps and so you know there are all sorts of— I am not in any way saying that people are indiscreet but there are all sorts of interests that are sitting around that table that have to be managed within a governance context So sometimes it can spill And these tensions are not allout war but there are sometimes differences of view and they have to be worked through and that is governance working properly I think | Dr David Blaney suggested that machinery of monitoring depended on having a body like HEFCW to connect different parts. Also as Hefin David AM pointed out that people always made the difference in different cultures and external opinions were a plus. Although opinions from student representation, staff representation, and other typically union reps who were included by the governing bodies spilt, they could, in the end, work it out properly. |

#Person1#: I'm talking to Jackie Gold, who is a very proud mother. Her daughter Olyvia, appeared on the stage of London Palladium Theater in the musical, the Sound of Music last month. So how did it all come about?
#Person2#: Well, until last year, the idea of her appearing at the London Palladium would have been unthinkable for our family. Things started to happen when Olivia got the leading role for the show Annie at the local theater. For Annie, Olivia had to learn more than 200 lines. She was on stage from most of the 2 hours show. I decided that we do 10 pages a night. After memorizing it, I gave her a line and she would have to tell me what the next line was. She picked it all up even better than her homework.
#Person1#: And she did well in the part.

A member of the stage management team for the show was taking over a local agency and asked her to sign up.

#Person2#: Well, he is, but he can be conniving at times.
#Person1#: What do you mean ?
#Person2#: Well, I know that he would never stab me in the back. But I've seen him double cross other people.
#Person1#: Oh, my! Really? I never thought he would be like that.
#Person2#: Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's like that all the time.
#Person1#: So, can I trust him or what?
#Person2#: Well, I think you should decide for yourself.
#Person1#: But I need someone that I can count on for this job.
#Person2#: Okay, Okay. You can trust him. I was just trying to give you a hard time .
#Person1#: Come on you're confusing me. Give it to me straight.
#Person2#: Actually, he's the most dependable person I know, and he would never turn on anyone. | #Person1# inquires #Person2# about whether Jack's dependable for the job. #Person2# at first tricks #Person1# into believing that Jack's conniving and later convinces #Person1# that #Person1# can count on Jack. |

chicken: The farmer and the worker are so violent! Did you know that they steal my eggs every single day???
spider: That is harsh. Have you ever tried to escape? I would like to go over by the fence where they don't go to often.
