#Person1#: So is there any other area I should look at as well?
#Person2#: Yes, I'd recommend West Derby. That will be closer to your office.
#Person1#: That sounds good.

#Person1#: That's not my concern. I live on my own so I'm only looking for a cheap single room, something like a flat.

watcher: He should be captured at once! But discretely.
archer: I would do it myself, but I'll be honest, I've been hitting the sauce pretty hard. I don't know if I can make it down the stairs much less track down a spy.
watcher: I will take care of it. I have my ways...... So you are a drunkard?
archer: Only since my wife lost her mind. You may remember that bridge that collapsed at Muller's glenn. She was caught under the carriage. Hasn't been the same sense.
watcher: A sad tale indeed. Perhaps this will numb your pain, Absinthe.
archer: Ah, That is the stuff. I may have to sleep up here to and keep you company. I'd hate to be caught drunk on the job. This tower is a pretty lonely place. What's with the peasant you brought tonight?

peasant: None drink this water, milord, except those that wish for death. We peasants aren't as simple as you think. We don't drink this water, we use it and the plants here to poison our hunting arrows.

Llyr Gruffydd AM: Is that something that you have a view on ?
Dr David Blaney: It is clearly in the interest of the enrichment of the curriculum and the student experience for students in Welsh institutions to be able to have students from other EU countries in the mix So it would be nice to find ways of continuing to facilitate that | The biggest is that there's an issue about investment. The quality of the research base in Welsh universities and the productivity of that Welsh research base are both good, there's just not enough of them. If they want to be able to play into the UK-wide research funding, the investment has two dimensions. One is having enough researchers playing in larger projects rather than small-scale projects; and the second thing is that, compared to UK-wide research pots, Wales' core research funding is not competitive. Also, the Welsh sector has not been sufficiently focused on getting in on the conversations with the research councils. |

Marketing: That will basically take us down to the budget
Project Manager: But I am now did y did you work with the same prices that I have here ?
Industrial Designer: So I I give I just give a call with the manufacturer and I explained them and they told me this could be possible for sixteen Fr Euros unfortunately we did not see this chip Matthew so maybe we have to recap with this one
User Interface: Maybe we ought to reconsider everything with this
Project Manager: Well yes well re reconsider it So let us let us try to to model this this phone in this sheet what kind of energy source I I we did not speak about that It is a it is a normal battery or
User Interface: it migh It it will need more than a conventional one it will not be just maybe you might use a AA battery actually What do you say Mael ?
Industrial Designer: For this one it is a normal battery
Project Manager: Yes Just so one battery Kay Electronics given speech recognition I think w you should go for the less fancy chip yes or sample sensor yes Yes this one Case ?
Marketing: it is going to be more than just the biggest case definitely
Industrial Designer: So which one are we talking to ?
User Interface: Are you talking about this or that ?
Project Manager: Oh yes we are talking about but they have the same shape
Marketing: Mm They are both going to be not basic cases
Project Manager: So th th this would be double curves ? Kay plastic would be the material
Industrial Designer: Is it zero Franc ?
Project Manager: special colour now we leave it to the covers
Marketing: So now we are either going button or LCDs LCD display
Industrial Designer: LCD is It is Just say LCD
Marketing: Is that price per unit or for the whole thing ?
Project Manager: th now this is per per unit this number of components
Marketing: So it would need twelve buttons
User Interface: we might need a scroll wheel right for that ?
Industrial Designer: No but for this one it is twelve Euro
User Interface: No for that one also
Project Manager: So one two three four five six seven eight nine t Yes Twelve I believe So this comes to eighteen
Marketing: Mm And that is without any special button supplements
User Interface: one scroll wheel you might need
Marketing: So we would have a special colour special form and special material on all of them They are not just standard buttons
Project Manager: So I think but th do you agree th that thi
Industrial Designer: Wait a minute it is not it is not double curved it is single curved right ? Because it is there is no like
Marketing: But I thought it would be curved on two it is like it is curved on the sides and curved on the top and bottom as well that is what I thought
Project Manager: Yes I am I am no I am no I am not sh sure Yes I kno undes I understand what you mean yes
Industrial Designer: it is you know this curve like this so it is w there is only is is is there is nothing like y you know in the other stuff there are
Marketing: You talking about concave curves ?
Industrial Designer: So I think we can put
Marketing: You think a single curved ?
Industrial Designer: the single curved in the sixteen That makes seventeen And what are just The bt buttons we have twelve buttons are you sure ?
Marketing: We have more we have got those the scroll wheel on the side
Industrial Designer: I had a bad bad estimation
Project Manager: we have we have not talk about a but that is no a is very exp inexpensive I believe but it is not in the list
Marketing: We have got a scroll wheel for the volume do not we or is it some other thing that is not on there
Project Manager: W ho h is this a scroll wheel or is this a a a sort of button which can be pressed on two sides so for higher and lower ?
Marketing: Kay we have only got five minutes left guys so we need to wrap it up pretty fast
Industrial Designer: Yes a kind of scroll wheel
Marketing: So this is even more than the than the cost you gave the sixteen Euros
Industrial Designer: so based on that where is the es sample speaker
User Interface: That is the sample sensor and sample speaker We just need that actually We need one
Project Manager: We are We We could go for the for the for the for the for a simple chip but then we can not have the the speech recognition yes ? Yes ? So so w when we w a this would this would be cutting the speech recognition
Industrial Designer: But the but if you have the near the LCD you can choose select between you know like uni universal between audio TV and VCR and this needs a needs a advanced chip
User Interface: I think it is going to be y y
Industrial Designer: I think regular today we you can do that with regular chip
User Interface: it is th with the regular chip
Project Manager: Say say it is regular regular chip and we still on fifteen
Industrial Designer: So And what about the number of buttons buttons my Matthew ?
Project Manager: Yes but that maybe Well we can just say
Industrial Designer: When you look at this w this you item
Project Manager: Ca l we are just when we just want to to cut the number of buttons we have to make seven to to fit in in twelve twelve fifty So is it possible ?
Marketing: But that is seven basic buttons right seven buttons without any addson without special colours or form or material
User Interface: That will be then we have have to ask the user to press it several times
Industrial Designer: You can not make a phone to your boss saying twelve fifty is really really low
Project Manager: he he he I I
Marketing: So the LCD display is is three Francs sorry three Euros by itself
Industrial Designer: And we do not want to to change that right ? We we really want a LCD other otherwise we w wouldn not get the market
Project Manager: Otherwise y you ha you have a s ve very normal thing like this
Marketing: So twelve Euro fifty we got two off of the battery
Industrial Designer: And I do not know
Marketing: we can not do anything about that so ten fifty if we want an LCD dispra display that is seven fifty so we have got seven fifty to use for the case and for the buttons And the chip Sorry the chips up there already So we are going to have to scale this down to get within budget there is no doubt about that
Industrial Designer: So wha what what each of us think about the because it is measure point the LCD Do you think it is important ?
User Interface: Or we could even replace them by buttons actually
Industrial Designer: Because sometimes whe when you watch the TV in fact you have a big display and maybe you do not need one more in your hands ? I do not know I am just asking
User Interface: A actually it depends it depends what kind of functionalities you want to add into it for example if you add two more functionalities then better you add two more buttons or and you will have LCD display which is that is going to bring the cost by two two Euros at least
Marketing: Mm I think unless we can really drive these prices down we need to get rid of the LCD display
User Interface: so we can get rid of it and then add a couple of buttons
Industrial Designer: But do we want that ? On the market point of view What do you think LCD is a major feature or ?
Marketing: For the price it is going to be what we can afford and it is looking like we can not afford the LCD display there is no way we can get it in there Mm
Project Manager: I think we have to come to a decision now just I I think we we what we just do i is vote about the the LCD display
Industrial Designer: You assume you want a democratic voyt vote
Project Manager: Yes Yes One man one vote S so who thinks the the LCD disply display should be i should be in it ?
Marketing: I th I would like t it to be in but I can not see it happening I can not see it fitting in Bu y you are a power voter veto anyway as Project Manager
User Interface: but the only thing is that what is the multiple functionalities you want to include with that
Marketing: well we have to make a decision now that is it
Project Manager: So having an LCD s display is just have very very limited amount of buttons Is that acceptable ? Ca can I have can the functions be implement in an You have you you agree
User Interface: W I I I just
Project Manager: So hav hav having seven buttons instead of twelve So that wou would be cutting cutting suh say about these buttons
Industrial Designer: Because one th show me that actually we could in fact we move these three buttons and have three possibilities for each of the three here Here one at the middle and at the bottom
Marketing: Mm I think then we we are really losing ease of use
User Interface: That will create another problem For the people to use it It is not going to be easy Doing that
Project Manager: I I think we should we should cut the LCD screen That that is that is my opinion
User Interface: No it is you cut the LCD screen and introduce two more buttons
Marketing: So LCDs out is speech rec out now ? We have
Industrial Designer: The speech recognition is out Because of the budget
Project Manager: w we now we can just
Marketing: So are we basically back to the original one now back to the first version ? Which turns out to be on budget exactly pretty much With these new costings So just look at forget that one and look at that one now
Project Manager: Yes Yes I th I th I think w we just go for this one and that that now twelve Euros is the is is the price | The first design obviously met the requirements of the budget so the team focused on the second one to see whether the combination of the two designs could together form an innovative design but was under the budget at the same time. To cut costs, the Project Manager first suggested using normal chips only in exchange for the speech recognition function. The special color was left to the case and it was designed as curved on the sides and curved on the top and bottom as well. Later, the team had argued a lot whether to eliminate the number of buttons or to discard LCD displays. However, if the number of buttons were to be eliminated, it would be far more complicated to use the device, since users must press one button several times to get to the channel. After a vote and discussion about the cost, the team decided to discard both the LCD display and the speech recognition functions since they were really expensive and the later one could not work without the existence of the former one. |

#Person1#: Hi, Alan. I feel very nervous because I am going to have a job interview next Monday. Could you please give me some suggestions?
#Person2#: Sure. Firstly, it is very important for you to be punctual. Interviewers usually don't think much of a candidate who comes 5 or 10 minutes late only to explain that he could not find the place or he was stuck in traffic.
#Person1#: Yeah, that is very important.
