Hefin David AM: How does the Welsh Government account for the fact that EU student applications in Wales this year—that Wales is the only country in the UK to have seen a significant drop ?
Kirsty Williams AM: well I think the first thing to remember is that we will not get a full picture of student recruitment until first of all November and then the true picture because some institutions as you would know have two admissions dates—we will not get the full picture until the spring I think it was inevitable given the change in Government policy with regard to student support which had previously allowed European students to benefit from a tuition fee grant and given the fact that that option is no longer available to them that that has had an impact on EU recruitment and there is no point trying to hide from that
Hefin David AM: So together with leaving the EU that is a doublewhammy effect that is hitting Wales harder than the rest of the UK
Kirsty Williams AM: It just puts us in the same position as EU students applying to England but it was inevitable This was looked at by Diamond It was anticipated that this could be a consequence of the change in policy and I think we see that reflected in the initial figure although as I said we will not get the true picture until the first census in November and then ultimately the final picture in the spring
Hefin David AM: How concerned are you by that ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Clearly we want our universities to be able to attract students from both the EU and from around the world The fact that the tuition fee grant arrangements may have had an impact on European Union students at this stage does not preclude the fact that Wales up until now has been successful in recruiting international students So the change in the fee regime should not be a barrier to the recruitment of international students because actually international students outside of the EU make up a bigger proportion of students not from the UK who come to our institutions
Hefin David AM: That is a fair point but it is unfortunate timing though is not it ?
Kirsty Williams AM: I think from a public policy point of view and moving towards a sustainable way of funding our HE sector then both my priority and I would say the priority of the institutions was to see the implementation of Diamond which is what we have done
Hefin David AM: that is fine What about the fact that we have got a relatively imbalanced higher education profile compared to other countries of the UK with regard to high medium and lowtariff universities ? We have got one hightariff university and they are the ones that tend to show the growth in recruitment of EU students Are you concerned about that balance of profile in the HE sector ? | Hefin David thought that the Wales government should be to blame for the fewest EU students applying for Wales universities this year, however, Kirsty Williams considered it was too early to jump to the conclusion. Not until November would they conduct the first census to get an exact number of the students enrolled. In addition, Kirsty Williams pointed out the fact that international students outside the EU make up a bigger proportion of students not from the UK who came to Wales institutions. There was no need to be so anxious about the number of the present applications. |
servant: I wish to have answers to the secrets of life, Mother
high priestess: There are no secrets to life, my child. That is the secret. Unless you mean beyond this life.
servant: I wish to know why my master and mistress are King and Queen whilst I am but a humble servant
high priestess: That is but the natural order of things,. The thread of fate is different for every person.
servant: but why does MY fate have to be this?
high priestess: Because the universe wills it to be. Does every king wish to be king? Is it always a blessing to every man?
servant: I would swap in a heartbeat!
high priestess: As would others, my child. Too many leaders, not enough followers.
servant: I would lead had I the option

Project Manager: So we should have our final meeting about the detail designed of detail design of the product of the remote control So here is the agenda for today just going to go quickly through the minutes of the last last meeting then we have a p presentation of prototype of you two sounds interesting And we will have presentation of evaluation crit criteria by ou our Marketing Experts Then we will have to go through finance evaluation of the of the cost of the thing and hopefully we should fit the target o tw of twelve point five Euro So let us go if I go quickly through the minutes of the last meeting So we went through th w we took this following decisions No LCD no speech recognition technology we went through a b to a banana look and feel for the remote control We went through the use of wheels and but buttons And also the use of a basis station for battery ch charging and also to call the to call the mot mote remote control when it is lost Good So guys let this wonderful thing
Industrial Designer: so we can go to the slides Number three Oh number two sorry So final design Final design so Michael you can go ahead
User Interface: so following our decision to make a yellow well to make a banana
Project Manager: can you show it to the the camera maybe
User Interface: remote so we actually have a
Industrial Designer: You can pull it out first maybe
User Interface: We have well first first of all we made a an attractive base station with a banana leaf look and feel and bana sit the banana sits in there k you know nicely weighted so that it is not going to tip over and this is the remote itself it is kind of it is it is ergonomic it fits in the hand rather well We have got the two scroll wheels here which you know one on the the left for the volume and the one on the right for for the channel and underneath we have the the turbo button which is in like a nice trigger position for you know for pressing quite naturally
Project Manager: What is the use of the t turbo button already ?
User Interface: This is when you when you are scrolling the through the channels you can tell it to to skip th past channels that you quickly rather th
Project Manager: Ah an then you stop when you stop it stops
User Interface: Well when you stop scrolling the wheel it stops But normally with it will just s stay on each station briefly so you can see the the picture
Industrial Designer: And we we do have one more functionality If you take the banana as such and you press the turbo button so it switch ons the switch ons the TV
User Interface: The s the turbo button So rather than having an extra button for for the on off switch you just use the turbo button
Marketing: What this button for ?
User Interface: This is a teletext button So once you press that then you get teletext and you can use the the channel selector scroll wheel as
Project Manager: To navigate it through th through teletext
Marketing: But if you want to go to page seven hundred ?
Industrial Designer: That is right that is right
Project Manager: with the wheel it is easy
User Interface: Well then you can you you have like a little number selection thing you press the the the teletext button to move between the fields and then you can just scroll the number back and forth so you have s you go you scroll to seven and then zero zero and then you can
Marketing: I do not understand it Can you repeat it ?
User Interface: Well you can you can press press the teletext button and then you then you can you can f
Industrial Designer: So then then both the scroll buttons they are for teletext browsing once you press the teletext button then the scroll buttons they are more for teletext they are no more for channel or vol volume
User Interface: And this is the the infrared port Also the top of the banana So And then we have in the in the base station we have the the button at the front for for calling the the banana
Project Manager: And the the leaves plays the roles of of antennas ?
User Interface: That is that is that is that is form and function in the one in the one object
Industrial Designer: So it always means whatever the rays goes by they they get reflected and then you are having a better coverage
User Interface: But that is that is just like that is an attractive base station
Industrial Designer: And for the power source we are having solar cells and rechargeable batteries and this and the basis station is going to have the input from the mm power line for for charging the batteries
Marketing: Is it really weight ? Is it light or
User Interface: It is it is it is about the weight of a banana You know to give you the correct look and feel
Industrial Designer: And we have put these different colours so that people do not mistake them mistake it as a banana Otherwise it is you know a child comes and so
Marketing: I see I under I understand
User Interface: I think a child would try to eat it anyway so maybe we should consider that maybe health and safety aspects
Industrial Designer: Oh we did not think of that yet
Project Manager: So for the power source apparently you still you you want to use both solar cells and batteries
User Interface: I do not really know if the solar cells are actually necessary any more if you have a recharging base station
Project Manager: where are going to where are you are you going to place them ?
Industrial Designer: Mmhmm mmhmm It will It will be always at top somewhere at there
User Interface: If I was going to place them I would put them on the on the top here since that is like the black bit
Project Manager: You have enough surface ? You
User Interface: but I do not I really do not think it is necessary to have the solar cells anymore
Industrial Designer: because now we are having rechargeable batteries
Project Manager: What will be the autonomy ? Roughly ?
User Interface: What do you mean ?
Project Manager: I mean how long does i how how how long can it be held off a station ?
Marketing: How long the how long the bit the batteries long
User Interface: Ah Ah A long time
Industrial Designer: Eight to ten eight to ten hours
User Interface: it can it should be weeks
Industrial Designer: N most no most of the time it is not being used
User Interface: but y people do not like to put it back in the base station all the time people leave want to leave it on the couch so
Industrial Designer: So when when you are making it on
Project Manager: It is used only when you
Industrial Designer: Mm Mmhmm No eight or eight or ten hours of working If you are just leaving like that it will be much longer And we are having the speakers regular chip for control Pricing is was a factor so that is why we have gone for a regular chip only not the advanced chip And that is it
Project Manager: Those really sounds very good Nothing else to add ?
User Interface: It seems to be falling over
Marketing: I like I like it Maybe the the thing that convince me the less is the the multifunctional buttons Looks a bit
Industrial Designer: You want to have more functional buttons ?
Marketing: Looks a bit puzzled I do not know how to say that You the the b the buttons change h h their function depending if y it is teletext or not
Industrial Designer: Not not many we we want to keep it simple So that this button fo is for teletext which is usually also the case that usually there is a teletext button and once you press that the channel buttons they baco become the scrolling buttons
Marketing: And the volume button will will become
Industrial Designer: It is up to you means
Project Manager: Well in fact b both will be could be useful navigating through teletext
Industrial Designer: Now that Means let us say this this can move the the larger digits and this can move the smaller digits
User Interface: Or can move between positions in the in the number
Marketing: And what about people who want to use digits ? Butto real buttons ?
Industrial Designer: So there was there was a constraint that the surface area which we have on this banana on one side because of the shape So we are targeting a segment which is which is just very trendy kind of thing they they do not care about the buttons any more And anyway
Marketing: Because have you thought about configuration and all this kind of stuff ? W we are living in a wonderful world | User Interface and Industrial Designer firstly presented on the prototype features which agreed to have a banana shape with a size that fitted to the hand. Also, they showed the prototype with a leaf base station with a calling button to locate the remote control. As agreed by the group, the prototype would have two scroll wheels to control the volume and the channel, the turbo button that also could be used to turn on the TV, the teletext button to faster switch the channel. Also, the group decided to give up on the solar cells and to use rechargeable batteries for the power source. Concerning the product cost, the group decided to use a regular chip for the speaker. |

Janet Finch-Saunders AM: And finally from me what specific steps have been put in place to take forward the commitments from the Welsh Governments 2017 childcareplay early years workforce plan to build a better understanding of the workforces Welsh language skills to enable support for the sector to be targeted and to identify where capacity needs to be built for the future to meet the needs of the early years sector in a bilingual Wales ?
Julie Morgan AM: We think this is very important and we are pleased that 29 per cent of children taking up the childcare offer are in Welsh or bilingual settings so we think that is very good We have established a specific programme to develop Welsh language skills in the childcare and play workforce with the National Centre for Learning Welsh to develop workplace Welsh language skills across the sector So we are actually working with that and I think you have done something with those recently have not you ? I do not know if you want to—
Nicola Edwards: Yes So we have a stakeholder group where we have brought together a variety of people with an interest in the early years childcare and play sectors and we had a presentation just last month from the national language centre about the education programmes that they are rolling out and how this is all coming together which is quite interesting We have been working quite carefully to make sure that the variety of workbased learning programmes that we provide and offer are also available in Welsh and bilingually Recruitment and retention within the childcare and play sector is quite challenging in any case Recruiting and retaining staff with really good Welsh language skills adds an extra dimension to it and that it is a point that Mudiad Meithrin makes to us quite regularly that they do struggle to find staff with the right skills So upskilling the existing workforce is a key part of it but also doing more to attract people in with Welsh language skills in the first place in terms of the training courses that we are taking forward and thinking about that in the context of the targets within Cymraeg 2050 and the aim to get to one million Welsh speakers So as the Deputy Minister said we have got quite a number of children accessing the offer in Welshmedium or bilingual settings at the moment We are going to be doing some baselining work against that in terms of local authorities Welsh in education strategic plans and education places and what we can then do to increase the number of childcare places in parallel with that so that you can make sure that you start that pathway through learning Welsh interacting with education and childcare through Welsh at a much earlier stage | Julie Morgan recommended to believe the demand was very important, and to establish a specific programme to develop Welsh language skills in childcare and played workforce with the National Centre for Learning Welsh to develop workplace Welsh language skills across the sector. And also she agreed on Nicola Edwards's idea that they should have a stakeholder group where they had brought together a variety of people with an interest in the early years, childcare and play sectors. |

#Person1#: This is Word Master on Radio 4. Today we have Professor Danny Sheffield from Arkansa Community College. OK, Danny, could you tell us how to produce a good piece of writing in college?
#Person2#: Well, one of the basic things about any writing is to remember 3 key points. Number One, say what you're going to say. So you're telling the reader what you're going to write about and maybe also your opinion in the beginning part. The second thing is say it. And here's where you provide details and facts to support what you have stated. And the third part is say it again. Conclude the main parts of your article and restate the key points that you've made and what you want your readers to understand.
#Person1#: But what really separates an excellent article from the average ones?
#Person2#: I would say it's a personal voice, because people respond to such an article much more easily. So if you want to touch the readers' feelings, your natural voice will help. That puts your writing more into the excellent type rather than 'Oh, this is a good formal article'. | Professor Danny Sheffield from Arkansas Community College tells #Person1# how to produce a good piece of writing in college and a personal voice separates an excellent article from the average ones. |
