#Person1#: In 1986, a New Zealander Hackett popularized Bungee as a commercialized sport of mass entertainment. This sport is very challenging. It is a test of people's psychological ability of endurance. Especially when descending, as if they are watching a fast forward tape and when they bounce back, they sway around. The timid people will shrink back at the sight of it. Even if they jump off, they find it hard to avoid screaming with closed eyes. No wonder people give the title'brave'to anyone who jumps off.
#Person2#: You see, the bungee participants take a deep breath when they stand at the starting spot and then, like diving, their heads are over heels and they jump off into the realm of the combination of heaven and earth. The wind roars at their ears and their bodies rapidly descend. They do not even have enough time to do several gymnastic movements and they are rebounded to the upper air by the cord.
#Person1#: Entrusting life to the care of a rope indeed requires infinite courage.
#Person2#: A young French fellow recalled his first bungee experience and said, ' When I fastened the cord and walked to the platform, I was extremely nervous. When I looked down, I was nervous even more. If the cord had broken, I would be knocked to'bakemeat'. However, I knew my worries were unwanted. I was afraid if I retreated others might say something about me. I had to harden my heart and impose my head downward. I only felt wind wiring at my ears. My body rapidly descended. I thought that after only seven or eight seconds I was rebounded to upper air by the cord. In fact it was 30 seconds. Maybe because of my nervousness, I only felt seven or eight seconds. When rebounding to the high altitude, I felt a sudden sense of relief. I did not feel nervous very much, but very comfortable. '
#Person1#: It is hard to come by in life that you experience this kind of'comfortable' | #Person1# says a New Zealander Hackett popularized bungee as a commercialized sport of mass entertainment and it is a challenging sport because it tests people's psychological ability of endurance. #Person2# tells #Person1# a young French fellow's bungee experience. He felt nervous at first but after bungee, he felt comfortable. |

Project Manager: You all saw the newsflash ? Or you got the same message ?
Marketing: I I just saw it one minute ago
Industrial Designer: I did not see it yet I think
User Interface: Newsflash ? D did I miss something ?
Project Manager: I received an email so I thought I I can not mail you so I thought I would just drop it in the folder but
Industrial Designer: Hey what is wrong with my computer ?
Marketing: Mm that is my presentation
Project Manager: Woah I kind of opened it
User Interface: I think you have to change your desktop
Project Manager: No no no Yes yes yes
User Interface: computer is not functioning ?
Industrial Designer: Where do I find this ? I am not so g display huh ?
User Interface: Mm I am not sure I
Marketing: You read the newsflash ?
Project Manager: Kay Can we get started
Industrial Designer: No what was it about ?
Project Manager: or is there some pressing issue ?
Industrial Designer: my computer is not functioning properly
Project Manager: Did you plug in the power cable when you come back ?
Industrial Designer: No but my screen is reduced in size
Marketing: So it does not draw the attention away
User Interface: I made my own map
Industrial Designer: No not this but the task
Project Manager: You have Playstation also ?
Industrial Designer: No that is No I just flapped it closed it took it here and then this happened Ah where was it ? In settings ? Alright Thank you Do you guys like your tasks ? I spent a lot of time thinking about what I was going to do and then a couple of minutes before this I get my function you know the information that I need
User Interface: wa wa you actually But it it is not clear what you have to to to type type in your presentation
Marketing: I I had a whole idea and then just was typing it and then oh I have to do that so switch
Industrial Designer: exactly This presentation is mainly based on my own ideas because I had not time to intergrate tha the information yet so
Project Manager: So there we are again this is the agenda we have three presentations I heard really So who wants to start ?
Marketing: We have to start it right away ? Alright I am going to talk about functional requirements Well some research has be done has been done observing of one hundred subjects in the usability lab using a remote control and they also filled in a questionnaire The findings were well you can see them for yourself They disliked the lookandfeel of current remotes controls Users think they are ugly they do not match the the operating behaviour of the users So they they d they do not match what they want to have on it they are often lost somewhere in the room it takes too much time to learn how to use a new remote control And they are bad for RSI I do not know how a user can reach that but there is also was also some research on the most relevant and and and irrelevant f functions most irrelevant and less used were audio settings mono stereo pitch bass screen settings for brightness and colour and stuff like that but they are used I mean the
Industrial Designer: So they do need to be in the
Marketing: they do need to be on the on the remote control I mean if you can not control the the sound settings I mean if you dislike a very loud bass or something you you need to change that
Industrial Designer: By the way my TV does not have an equ equaliser but
Marketing: We c we c I mean w we can not but we we can leave them away most relevant most used functions they speak for themselves I guess power button channel volume selection teletext but we can skip that because I saw the newsflash and teletext is so outdated that it it is i should not be used any more in the future channel settings so for programming your channels in in the right order
Industrial Designer: By the way where did you guys get that newsflash from ? I did not get anything
Project Manager: Not by mail I receiv the mail but you do not So
User Interface: But you you have got more information than
Marketing: No so it is a text file n in the project folder So teletext can be skipped
Project Manager: That is in the presentation so
Marketing: there was some research on new features in a remote control about an LCD screen and speech recognition Well we got an update for the for the audience Or the the the targeted group So it is above forty I guess The new product ? Or below because that is pretty relevant I thought I read a
Project Manager: Our current customers are in the age group forty plus And the new product should reach new markets which is the customers below forty
User Interface: But where did you get that information ?
Project Manager: That is in a newsflash
Marketing: that is that is in the newsfla that is a good to know because you see see a clear distinction between the age groups concerning the features I mean above forty people are not so interested not so interested in a screen or speech recognition but below that age they they pretty much are So I think we can build that in well we can skip this part as well because I thought I read above forty so we could skip the features but we just have to build them in because they find it very interesting well we have to keep all the classic functions but make the buttons as userfriendly as possible and and also there is so not only the design of the bus buttons but o how you can push them and stuff like that So the physical aspect of it And I think and certainly for for the for the lower age groups nice design which does not make the remote control in your room It is it is actually a part of your interior of of your design in your room So it is the people can say well what is that well that is my remote control so it is d it has to look nice and feel nice and and have all the functions that
Project Manager: But it also needs to have corporate identity
Marketing: so the the logo has to be present and the colours as well
Project Manager: So we can not change much of that
Marketing: so but I I do not think that is that is a problem because the thing has to have a colour anyway and most of the times there is a brand present on it So I think that is not going to going to affect it very very much Well that are the the consequences on a marketing part
Project Manager: It is open already so you can use to
User Interface: Oh What is this ?
Project Manager: You pressed alt F four ?
User Interface: No no no I pressed the mouse button
Industrial Designer: It is th that is the selfdestruct button
Project Manager: maybe you can do it from your computer so talk us through it
User Interface: if you all go stand around this one is the the the advanced one with a lot of options and functions and buttons I think we have to to combine them And merge the best functions of all examples but the the age is under forty ?
Marketing: and and and marketing research stated that that that kind of users are not afraid of of a lot of functions
User Interface: So we so so we have the option for more functions
Marketing: So not not too much but
Industrial Designer: And we do have to integrate the screen and the the speech
User Interface: this this one we can remove for kids It is just only for adults so we can use some advanced options But
Marketing: from age of sixteen so
User Interface: but I prefer we we use the the basic options We have to to make them very easy so for just zapping around the channels you can just push one button But if you want to to use your your video recorder or something else you should use use an an advanced option
Marketing: but the the newsflash also stated that it should control only one device only your television
Project Manager: So n it is very easy
Marketing: So there are not extra options in this case but
User Interface: We have to make it fashionable Like you said before the basic functions only use a extra function if they are really needed
Project Manager: so maybe you can hide them or something
Marketing: well what what we can do with the screen is is all the the configuration options you can put that in the screen
Project Manager: you make a screen menu or something
Marketing: And the and the screen menu to to to to do that and then the basic function just on the device itself So it looks very simple and all the advanced features are hidden in the screen with a clear menu
Project Manager: and the other oth other functionality is the screen What does the screen do ?
User Interface: did I break it ?
Project Manager: So what does the screen do ? They said they needed it but what does it do ? What do they want with the screen ?
User Interface: For for the advanced functions I think
Project Manager: that is what we make it up
Marketing: well it it did not
Project Manager: So but what did the marketing
Marketing: it did not say what they want to do with the screen Well I my guess is it is it is pretty handy for advanced advanced functions
Project Manager: it is handy With no predefined
User Interface: Like searching for channels and
Marketing: searching for channels programming them
Industrial Designer: We have your oh never mind
User Interface: That is I am al I am almost finished so the we have to to to watch out for the i if we make it f very fashionable it it the functional functionality will go down So we have to make a compromise between functionality and fashional fashionable Now that that was was the end
Industrial Designer: Well my presentation is a bit sucky
Marketing: Well you can improvise right ?
Project Manager: which one is it ? Technical functions ?
Industrial Designer: I think that would be it then
Project Manager: You did not put it in ? Or
Marketing: So we we can go for
Project Manager: it is not really English
Industrial Designer: Let me check I know
Project Manager: kick off Oh working design I got it
Marketing: So we can go for the lookandfeel of the the left example and then a screen on top of it
Industrial Designer: Alright how do I skip pages ? Alright well I was working on this before I got my information So I was just working off the top of my head and using my colin common knowledge about remote controls And well the info on the website which came too late so I did not really know what kind of functions we had to put into it yet So this is basically an overview of what we discussed in our last meeting Those were my starting points I was working on a s on a schedule and I was supposed to do it like this But then the information came and it was kind of exact with all the steps in the remote control that I had to follow so I was trying to organise them for myself the design a the actual design but I never came around to do that So I am not really sure what I am supposed to say about it I mean everything speaks for itself I guess Mean you press a button the it tru goes it sends a signal to a chip which translates it into infrared signal of certin spatial frequencies And or temporal fr frequencies actually And then through a transformer it the signal gets boosted and then sent to the to the receiver on the TV and the TV will translate it into a function well this was actually all I got around to do I mean I do not know if I am too slow for this stuff but | According to the Marketing, the research finding showed that the current users are older than forty, which is to say that they have to aim the consumers at below forty as long as they want a new market. As for the User Interface, he thought an extra function was needed to hide all the features and display a clear menu. Of course, some fashionable functions would also be welcomed. Then the group came to realize that it would be really hard to compromise between the functions and the fashion. |

Project Manager: Shall we move rapidly on to Kendra ? ra rapidly move the cable over
User Interface: Oh Yes Is it going to work ?
Industrial Designer: it is thinking about it
Project Manager: it will get there Yep
User Interface: so I did some research on the internet and what you know the interf user interface are just aspects that are seen by users commands and mechanisms for the operation and there are just kind of a variety of choices findings so a lot of times they tend to look cluttered and these were just a couple examples of different kinds that are a little bit more unusual There are some special ones available like this one right here which is marketed towards children different designs and one of the things that n we need to watch out for is a V in volume because people some Bring a little picture of what I thought ours could look like So just kind of minimise the clutter avoid too many buttons and also one of the things that people have used is a slide button like you have on a mouse that possibly we could use that on the sides for volume for example have the slide button on the side and then you can preprogramme the channels the voice recognition and then the voice response sample locator
Project Manager: Mm Sorry y y if I can interrupt you Well d p kay do you want to say anything about slide controls ? I mean I think the reason everybody uses pushbuttons is that they are they are si simple cheap and reliable
Industrial Designer: I think they are they are about the same cost really I I mean I think it is just sort of the the there is a lot of slide buttons out there I think it is pretty much the same sort of connection Mm
User Interface: Just because I n for example if I am using a mouse I like to be able to slide it up and down so I thought it might be good for volume to just be able to kind of roll it and then have the up and down this is my great little drawing
Project Manager: So three three there is three buttons on a slider Three buttons channel up channel up down and
Marketing: Well if you g if you if you got a channel up down we can have a slider in that as well Because if it if you no if you notice on the thing it it kind of like has got kind of if you you know it s kind of like sticks if you know what I mean up like one unit if you see what I mean So it kind of goes up one then y like you can keep rolling it up but it is like like like like a cog or something So you kind of take it up one at a time
User Interface: The only advantage I was thinking of to having the buttons like the buttons on one side for the channel and then the slider is that if you are just holding in your hand and you pick it up it is easy to n s know this is just the volume and this is the channel
Project Manager: This one on the one side and one
Marketing: you could you could as l as like a mouse you could
Industrial Designer: Ye because I have definitely picked up remotes and like meant to change the channel and turn the volume or vice versa so it would be kind of good to have them be feel completely different You would know what you were fiddling with
Project Manager: or th th the I mean thi this is what the
Marketing: like the shape of it almost like a mouse with a
Project Manager: we have to come up with is the the actual shape that people can ins instantly pick it up and and know know know what it is going to do so we we are looking at sliders for both a volume and channel change
User Interface: I was thinking kind of just for the volume but what what do you guys think ?
Marketing: Dep I do not know if it depending on the final shape of it because you could have like I do not know it looks like you can c control the volume with your thumb and then you could control the buttons with your fingers
Industrial Designer: because if in that kind of position the fingers would be better for pressing and the that for rolling
Project Manager: It I mean it it it seems to me that it it al also has the advantage that it it the two are clearly different
Industrial Designer: just the way it would
Project Manager: that there is no no possibility of confusing the two
User Interface: I am just going to pass this along
Project Manager: that is sorry is that that all you want to say at the mo | User Interface proposed that to avoid excessive buttons, a slide button could be used and envisaged that the push button could be added when changing the function of the slider. Project Manager agreed and supposed that three buttons could be put on a slider. Eventually, the team achieved an agreement that they need buttons for channel change, power, menu and volume. |

Vikki Howells AM: It does One final question on that then : creating a body of outofcourt disposals that are specific to this Bill—how would that actually work in practice do you think given the fact that the Assemblys legislative competence to make provision on the face of the Bill is limited ?
Barry Hughes: The way I might see it is that clearly policings not devolved the CPS is not devolved—the way I might see this is that within Wales you could build an infrastructure that provides for a range of outofcourt disposals You can not direct the police or the CPS to point people towards that but if you build a good infrastructure it is more likely that people will be pointed in that direction

Anna: you guys are all beautiful humans, thanks for the meal tonight! felt so at home <3 In case anyone feels like cooking some more, here are some thanksgiving leftover recipes I’ve rounded up I thought I’d drop in here! <file_link>
Ken: If anyone is missing dishes or has some from the other houses please put them aside and bring back/ take back when possible. The camp is a little easier but especially for cornerhouse and hotel house please make sure you have everything back.
Kieran: Lets have a chat about Thanksgiving Shopping! I know people have already started adding on to splitwise but lets get a thread going about billing, We had three guests, some of us had initially talked about just charging the people with guests an extra share, but I am fine with just covering the cost of them.... My vote is to just throw all T-day grocery charges on splitwise and charging everyone equally
George: I'm ok either way
Kieran: Also, dont include Ashley on the bill, she is not even here
Luke: our guests spent $45 on cheesecake and ice cream so if the totals are close to $20/person then probably not worth the trouble. But happy to do it if people want
Kieran: Seems fair enough to me, I wouldn't worry about it
Isis: About the dishes, all the hotel house people are away this weekend. We can come pick up our stuff on Sunday
Kieran: Also, sound off if you have Leftovers in your fridge to share, in House 2 downstairs, we have some Turkey and a little mac n cheese
Erin: In H1 downstairs we have some dessert, stuffing and cranberry
Ken: House 2 upstairs has got turkey, gravy, mac n cheese
Kate: House 2 upstairs also has some leftover oreos that need eating (please help)
Ken: Or we could have a leftover lunch for everybody? What do you guys think?
Sara: Yeah, that's kind of a tradition ;)
Erin: Good idea, let's make some sides, rice etc. and eat all together!
Ken: Cornerhouse and hotel peeps come over to the camp around 1 pm, BYO dishes | Sara, Ken, Alex and Anna enjoyed Thanksgiving feast. Kieran proposed to split Thanksgiving grocery expenses and charge everyone equally. They will bring leftovers to the camp at around 1 pm and have a leftover lunch. |

Hope: I might if he keeps being such a jerk to us. But I've heard that he might get promoted next month.
Jennifer: Wouldn't it be even worse?
Hope: No, because then he wouldn't work directly with us anymore. And except for him I quite like this job. | Becca bought a new dress but she is worried it can be inapropriate for work.
