#Person1#: What do you think of the way people use and treat animals?
#Person2#: I think most people treat animals well, but we are often cruel to animals. When we raise animals for food, the conditions they live in are often poor.
#Person1#: Perhaps people should stop eating animals. We could grow more crops.
#Person2#: What would you do with all the animals? You couldn't just let them go. Besides, some people would still hunt them. Meat has become an integral part of our diet.
#Person1#: We could provide them with better conditions anyway. We should certainly try to improve the conditions at zoos. We should try to recreate the natural conditions as much as possible.
#Person2#: That's true. I think zoo are a good idea, because they allow people to get close to animals. I think it's good for kids to see wild animals.
#Person1#: I agree. I'm an adult and I love going to the zoo. I don't like animals experiments though. I believe that we can do tests in other ways.
#Person2#: I read that the number of animals being used in experiments is falling drmatically as new techniques are being introduced.
#Person1#: That's good news. The good thing is that most people treat their pets well.
#Person2#: Sometimes you read about people who have been cruel to pets or other animals, but those stories are rare.
#Person1#: Have you every given money to any of the charities that take care of animals.
#Person2#: Yes, I have. They do an excellent job. | #Person2# thinks people are often cruel to animals and animals' conditions aren't good if they're raised for food, but meat has been an integral part of people's diet. #Person1# says they can improve the conditions of animals in the zoos and disapproves of animal experiments. |
#Person1#: Your tree looks beautiful. Do you decorate it this way every year?
#Person2#: Yes, it's a family tradition dating back to my childhood. We use the same lights and ornaments, but of course we have a new tree each year. The children made some of these decorations. Here, you can hang this on one of those high branches.
#Person3#: Well, everything seems to be just about ready. Now all we need is snow.
#Person1#: Do you exchange the presents in the morning?
#Person2#: Oh, yes. The kids are too excited to wait. After we clean up the mess--all the empty boxes and the wrapping paper -- we have a big breakfast. Then the kids have the whole day to play with their new toys.
#Person3#: And we'll have a great turkey dinner at around four o'clock. My brother and his family will be joining us.
#Person1#: I look forward to meeting them. Well, it's late, so I'll say good night. I'll see you early tomorrow, so I can share your Christmas morning.
#Person3#: Good night! | #Person2# and #Person3# tell #Person1# about their family tradition on Christmas day and #Person1# is happy to join them tomorrow. |
Marketing: Alright Thank you very much One of the the biggest issues I found about from last meeting was the fact that we need to sell four million of these remote controls and I think that this is an opportunity to really take Real Reaction in the direction of of similar of handheld tools that have been used and are used by many of us and to kind of bring the remote control into the si same realm as an accessible useful electronic device as opposed to something that is lost in the couch and what have you So my main goal here is to reenvision the remote control in in this context and to think about menu functionality and current technology and the fact that it could be interactive with other tools some of the research in the market has shown that people really are not happy with remote controls as they are now and that means we do need to make some decisions about what what keys or or buttons on the on the remote control to perhaps keep and and what ones to discard And if we devote some energy into this I think the recent productions of Real Reaction the I go everywhere power and the high definition DVD players although it makes immediate sense to have our remote control interact with these I think we can also use this as a platform to make it interact with other tools And in fact I think the high definition DVD players and all of this will come along in the will only benefit from the positive feedback from our well designed tool So again most users really dislike the current look and feel of remote controls fifty percent I think of all these numbers the most important is fifty percent of user say they only use ten percent of the buttons And eighty percent of users and if we think about this there are a lot of television DVD stereo remote control users out there eighty percent would spend more money on a remote control that looks fancy
Industrial Designer: Could can I ask where these figures come from is this market research we have
Marketing: it was market research and there were a hundred people in the room so eighty out of a hundred said they would spend more money
Project Manager: Now in between as the Project Manager they sent me an email from the powers that be and the internet is coming in as important but that they want this remote control to only be for TV with incorporating the corporate image colour and slogan
Marketing: Mmhmm Well I think we can I I think we can really focus on this remote and and again bring the Real Reaction brand in in and and get some positive marketing for our other tools even if we directly do not advertise for the I go everywhere line | The market research showed that many people were dissatisfied with the current remote control. Therefore, it was necessary to bring new technology into the product, which could also help to get positive marketing for other tools. |

Robert: OIC...
Lucy: Yeah, but I'll call them. I kind of hinted at that anyway.
Robert: Thanks. Meanwhile, send that last guy's personality exam results in will you?

Industrial Designer: or it will be cheap sorry to remanufacture them So do you reckon that is a good idea that where is the remote I am here thing ? I think that would be quite fun
Project Manager: I think the only pitfall that we would have would be how much it is going to cost if that means we have to cut down somewhere else but I think pretty much we have used cheap relatively cheap and simple things
Industrial Designer: to s th well it is it is not as expensive as it would be if it was full colour because if we have just got a black and white one I mean they use them in calculators so
User Interface: Maybe we could start with the black and white That that way we could upgrade later | Industrial Designer said that it would be cheaper to re-manufacture if these parts were already in stock. Project Manager pointed out that the other materials used were relatively cheap and simple. Though the LCD would be expensive, it would be cheaper with black and white than full colour so User Interface suggested that they could start off with black and white and upgrade later. |

thief: What brings you here? A traveler, are you?
visitor: A visitor of sorts, I've come to see someone.
thief: Who are you here to see, then?

Project Manager: that the new products we are going to make spef specifically design are designed for younger people so maybe we can focus ourself on the elderly people And I think we have to see what requirements we need for those remote controls Because what you told is the channel selection is important Volume selection power and teletext
Marketing: Yes But obviously the board tends to disagree
Project Manager: No we we have not voted yet so I think teletext can be can be a function as well But only if if it will not higher the the cost because I do not know if it will be a lot more money to implement teletext as well but I do not think it will be a problem Or is teletext a
User Interface: But deaf people need teletext for for subtitles
Marketing: I think it would definitely be a bad idea not to include teletext
Project Manager: Is anybody really against teletext ? No ? Just that that we just keep the teletext I think that is a good idea as well especially for the subtitles Maybe we can make that another point of advantage in our remote control if we make a k a button ex for example for big subtitles which is instantly on the remote control For elderly people they can think oh I want to have subtitles and they push the button and they get the big subtitles
Industrial Designer: that is a good idea
Project Manager: so I think teletext can v can be very useful in our advantage Functionality should be few buttons you said I think that is very important we have a few buttons So to keep it simple
Marketing: But I do not think that is really an issue any more because Well might be
User Interface: If it is only for televi
Marketing: But I mean it if it is only for TV you are not going to need a lot of buttons anyway You need a one to zero button next channel previous channel volume up volume down and some teletext buttons but
User Interface: So we can s we can skip the display
Marketing: I think if you if you only l
User Interface: so we do not need it
Project Manager: But do you need the buttons for one to zero
Marketing: Think if you are going to include teletext you do I think many people like to use that Because if you should if you want to switch from channel one to like thirty five you do not want to push the next channel button thirty five times
Project Manager: No maybe we can implement the scroll button ? Or a joystick like ? There are other ways too Just look if you look at telephones The Sony telephone has a scroll button which is very useful in searching names or
Marketing: That is true but I do not think there are many TVs that can switch channels that fast And so you would need like the TV would need an a function where you can actually view all channels and scroll through it And I do not know if many channels would do have that If many TVs have that
Industrial Designer: And besides that it is If we are going to focus on elderly people they will have to adapt They are not used to using scroll buttons So perhaps we should s stick to the basic layout
Project Manager: the numbers they can see how much buttons there are going to be on on the display and if it is too much we can reconsider it But I think there will not be very much buttons Or there do not have to be a lot
Marketing: But I do not think I think if you are going to make a remote control only to operate a TV you there is not much you can gain on having as few buttons as possible Because I think there are pretty many remote controls that can only operate a TV which already only have the minimum number of buttons I do not think there is much to be gained in that area
Project Manager: The number of buttons ? I think it is very important in the in the design You can make a very fancy design with putting the buttons on the right places And if you have less buttons you can do a lot more with
Marketing: That is true but I think there is simply not much to gain on the competition when you when you are making a remote control only for to operate only the TV
Project Manager: To operate only the TV
Marketing: Because if you have a a remote control only to operate a TV there is simply not a lot of buttons required There is not a lot of functions required so most existing remote controls simply do not have a lot of buttons either So I think it would be very hard to actually gain on the competition here That would that would cost a a big marketing expedition which was one of the arguments to make it only for the TV because we did not have the time to market a lot
Project Manager: So you suggest we could better focus on for example the docking station like other functions Instead of f of less buttons
Marketing: Maybe Well I think mean we obviously need a good way to position all the buttons and But I do not think we should spend very much time in that
Project Manager: Mm No Do you think the docking station will is allowed in the budget we have ?
Industrial Designer: It should be possible yes If it is not too fancy And if the remote stays rather small it should be possible
Project Manager: Because I think that is That is a good advantage point as well If we have a fancylooking docking station That is a nice requirement Docking station
Industrial Designer: So we are just going to focus on the extras ?
Marketing: I think maybe we should do some research into what elderly people like to have in a like to have extra in a new remote control
Project Manager: That is a good point You said they easily get lost as well
Marketing: Yes well fifty percent of the people indicated that remote control tended to get lost
Project Manager: So maybe we should implement the audio sign or something
Marketing: that was what I suggested
Industrial Designer: Like with your keychain if you whistle it goes it makes a sound
Marketing: you have it is on some phones too which have a docking station And you just press a button and the phone goes ringing So you know where it is
Project Manager: audio signal should be possible as well I think it is not too expensive another point is the LCD screen I do not know if that will rise the cost too much because
Industrial Designer: Y i I think we will have to choose between the docking station or the screen because
Project Manager: It will be too much as well
Marketing: I think since a lot of people indicated that a new remote control is hard to learn and we are focusing on elderly people here which tend to have a hard time understanding new devices it might be a good idea to have just a little screen on it which would explain a button if you press it Which would tell you what it does And it would not have to be touchscreen or a very expensive screen
Project Manager: Just the LCD Oh just the normal screen That is a good idea So I think that is a good idea as well
Marketing: But I do not know if that would that would fit into the costs
Project Manager: Extra button info I think that should be possible as well let us see what did we say Mm More Should be fancy to fancy design easy to learn Few buttons we talked about that Docking station LCD general functions Kay And default materials I think that is a good idea as well because elderly people do not mind if it is a titanium cover or just a plastic one So that does not really matter So I think we nee
Marketing: I think probably elderly people would be a little bit more careful with their remote controls than youngsters
Project Manager: let us specify the target group Because are we talking about elderly elderly people or people from forty to eighty Because I think what we are going to design now is for people above sixty maybe what do we want ? If we want a with for example the the telephone for elderly people we can target the real elderly people
Marketing: I think that would be a If we should do something like that it would be a I think it would be really good for for the image of the company And I think I think there would be a good market for it If we are able to really bring an innovative product
Project Manager: Now you are talking about sixty to eighty for example
Marketing: But I would have to look into that a little more
Project Manager: And different cultures Are we
Industrial Designer: Well I do not think they have different television sets
Project Manager: We have got five minutes left just now
Marketing: Kay And with the little screen in it which explains the buttons You could I think we n it would be a lot easier to adapt it to different cultures
Project Manager: In different languages you know or you have to put a language button in it but that will be a bit unnecessary I think It is better to put it on different markets with it all that is the the target then a few small things | Firstly, after a short debate, the group reached a consensus that basic layout would be enough for the button design, on which too much emphasis would be unnecessary for the elder generation. Then, the group agreed to implement a docking station as an extra with a positioning function. Also, as opposed to touchscreen or LCD screen, an ordinary small screen and default materials were applauded. Finally, Project Manager proposed to specify the target group as people above 60, which could improve product image as Marketing said. |

ladies: I am from this area, but studied under the best cooks far and wide to learn my craft. It can be lonely, just me and my stew, but I have learned to appreciate the solitude.
man: A pity such a beautiful woman should endure such loneliness- a vat of marvelous stew and yet... only one spoon to adorn your table. Pity, indeed.

Lynne Neagle AM: thank you We have got some questions now on early help and enhanced support from Janet FinchSaunders
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you Good morning In terms of local primary mental health support services what is your understanding of the issues leading to some health boards not meeting the Mental Health Wales Measure 2010 targets for assessment and therapy for children and young people and how much of this is due to an increase in demand ?
Carol Shillabeer: Yes thanks very much So it is important to say I think at the outset just by way of reminder that the target quite rightly changed for children and young people The target changed some years ago for adults so it was only right that there was an equalisation around children So the services were working a couple of years ago with significant demand and then a change in the standard I think you are absolutely right your question alludes to the fact that some health boards are struggling to maintain the full performance around seeing children particularly within the 28 days I would say— And we have had some discussion about whether the impact of the mental health Measure has actually drawn perhaps some of the workforce the staff who would have been working at that earlier stage in local primary mental health into a bit more of the secondary element which is why the review being undertaken by the NHS delivery unit into primary care CAMHS is so critical because actually if we do not have—and I believe we do not have—enough capacity in that part of the system then referrals will move towards the more specialist end of this So I think we will have seen by the evidence submission that demand has increased not just in Wales but in the UK and it has increased significantly We are doing reasonably well at meeting that demand—so we have more contacts more staff shorter access times so that is a good news story We have not got it completely sustained at this stage and therefore the focus of the delivery units primary care CAMHS report is what more can we do in that part of the system to help to see children and young people or provide consultation and liaison to others and support people at that level of intervention
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you I know from my own experience as a constituency AM I have families who tell me that they can not get into the early interventions and eventually things just become so—they end up in the more specialist ones and believe that that is— And I do not like to put it in resource terms but it is false economy in terms of the impact on the child and the family but obviously in terms of cost as well Do you find that that is a common theme across Wales ?
Carol Shillabeer: Yes I think that the thrust of that is absolutely right So we absolutely need to see children and families at the earliest intervention and that is why this is a whole system not compartmentalised I think there have been really good attempts in a couple of areas of that greater reach out and that earlier help—hot clinics and those sorts of initiatives that help people not to get in a long queue for specialist CAMHS but can be supported often by telephone at that earlier stage My sense of where we go next in terms of you know you talk about early help and enhanced support for all the missing middle as you referred to it in your report is to make sure we have got a fully joinedup multiagency team approach to that And I think that will need some resourcing to support that yet to be fully determined But yesterdays announcement about youth work the Governments commitment to primary care CAMHS et cetera—that is all going to be very helpful to prevent those young people having to go into specialist CAMHS And just a final note on that if I may—at the beginning of the programme we had a report from Hafal called Making Sense and there were 10 key asks if you like of the system and the service from young people who had experience of the service They said Please do not medicalise it—I am paraphrasing now of course—Please do not medicalise it please focus on supporting teachers and others who can support us at an earlier stage and then when we really need help please ensure that it is there at that more specialist level That is been a bit of a guiding principle for the programme So that reflects the questions that you were asking really
Janet Finch-Saunders AM: Thank you What are the outcomes of the stakeholder workshop held last week on early help and enhanced support ? And how are the actions going to be taken forward and implemented ? And also given that the Together for Children and Young People programme comes to an end in October of this year who in your view is best placed to forward this work stream and what will be the biggest challenges ? It is a bit of a long question so break it up however you like And what will be the biggest challenges that they will face ?
Carol Shillabeer: Yes I think that is helpfully laid out in three stages So you are absolutely right there was a highly successful workshop last week really focusing on early help and enhanced support It brought all of the agencies together which was—and actually had a bit of a waiting list apparently for places So there was a lot of demand and a lot of interest in this In relation to the next steps there is a planning group reflection in early July in terms of the outcomes of the workshop or the outputs of the workshop and there are three commitments that have been made to this stage One is that we develop those valuesled approaches that will bring multiple agencies together to have that common purpose The second one is to develop the ingredients for successful working in this area and then thirdly to determine or propose priorities and sequencing of next steps So that is the next stage of that I am pretty sure we will come on shortly—or hopefully—to the potential of the regional partnership boards There is some work that we are doing as a programme with the childrens commissioner in terms of working more with the regional partnership boards in taking forward this work So that will run alongside But during the summer then we will be developing that framework approach and we will be participating in the Association of Directors of Social Services conference in September and then a followup workshop in October on this matter On your question of Well what happens after the programme ? we are currently working on legacy arrangements for the programme I am pretty secure on the specialist CAMHS element That will move most likely to the CAMHS network which is part of the NHS mental health network I actually chair the mental health network and that is one part of that The wholeschool approach element is already settled in Government and we have got a connection in to that The question that is outstanding is where the early help and enhanced support and the neurodevelopmental will go I am currently in discussions with Welsh Government officials around that I can be very clear of my own view that there needs to be a confident and clear legacy arrangement for this work We can not afford that we have come so far for this not now to proceed I think there is a huge momentum behind this I do not see there would be any obstacles—I hope—in getting that commitment translated into a strong approach as we move forward So I am not in a position to say And the legacy arrangements will be— but I am in a position to say that I am having those discussions with Welsh Government officials They know my view that we have got to put something in place that is strong and secure as we move forward and I believe that they are supportive of that | The Mental Health Measure's target had increased significantly among the UK. The programme well met the demand with more contacts, more staff, and shorter access times, but it still did not completely sustain at that stage. As for intervention resources, there had been good attempts to help. As for the stakeholder workshop, it was successful support on early help and enhanced support. Finally, as for the legacy arrangements, CAMHS element would move to CAMHS network, part of the NHS mental health network. |
