preist: The Lord welcomes all his children. If you change your mind, feel free to drop by the church any time for my sermons. I will get out of your hair now and start reading.
librarian: I've been before and I pop in every so often, so I wouldn't mind.

librarian: Hmm perhaps, what would these sermons focus on?
preist: My sermons are generally about the Lord and his teachings. However, once a month, I talk about other religions such as Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Sikhism, etc. Our congression preaches the importance of open-mindedness and acceptance of all!

librarian: That works just fine with me, priest. Good day!

#Person1#: We all know that poetry is not everyone's cup of tea. But according to Dr. James Stewart.
#Person2#: Hello!
#Person1#: Hello! If you are suffering from anxiety or depression, poetry may be the solution to your problems. Dr. Stewart, how does poetry help?
#Person2#: Em, OK! Look, let me give you an example. A patient came into our clinic last month. He was a middle-aged businessmen, and he was feeling, well, like most middle-aged businessmen, really stressed and with his life out of control. He talked to me about it, and, well, I was convinced that medication just wouldn't help him. Then I read him a poem called Leisure by WHDavis. Do you know the one? It begins, er...
#Person1#: I do, yes.
#Person2#: What is this life, er, so full of. It is so or if...
#Person1#: I think it's if.
#Person2#: If full of care, that's it, yes. We have no time to stand and stare. Well, you know the one. The next time he came to see me, he told me that, well, it was a sort of turning point for him. The poem made him think about the quality of his life and the need to find a balance between his work and his social life. Er, you see, because the idea was expressed poetically, he felt that he could identify with it, and actually feel the message in a way that he wouldn't if he simply discussed it with me. And we just had the usual kind of conversation about it.
#Person1#: Yes, I see.
#Person2#: You see, reading poetry to patients seems to make them calmer. Encouraging them to write it has an even more dramatic effect, actually. Era, there.., there are something about the process of expressing confused thoughts and feelings and emotions in writing that actually helps people or suffering from stress and anxiety. This happens especially if the words are written in a poetical way with a sense of rhythm rather than in prose, you see. Er, now, for a long time, we've been asking patients to write diaries to put their feelings into words. But it turns out that writing poetry seems to work much better for many patients.
#Person1#: Right, and have you found that other doctors and therapists have made the same discoveries?
#Person2#: Yes, many of my colleagues have successfully used poetry with patients suffering from anxiety or depression or even eating disorders. I mean their patients said that, that reading poetry made them feel less stressed. You know, almost as many said that writing it has the same effect. You see, some said that writing poetry reduced the pain they felt when a friend or a close relation had died extraordinarily!
#Person1#: Yes, it certainly is!
#Person2#: Era. Others thought that it enabled them to reduce or stop taking antidepressants or tranquillizers. And writing poetry helps them to provide a sort of outlet for their emotions.
#Person1#: Em, that's fascinating! Can you give any explanation as to why poetry might be calming in this way?
#Person2#: Well, it's only a guess. But I say that the calming effect of poetry is related to an interplay between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, the.., you probably know the left half is the one which analyzes and responds to language while the right one visualizes images and responds to rhythm. Now, I believe that poetry may activate the system at the base of the brain where thoughts meet emotions, you see.
#Person1#: Do you think that people need a doctor to prescribe particular poems for particular conditions?
#Person2#: No, no, no. I think poetry can help everyone to feel calm and less stressed. People who read poetry tend not to be anxious and stressed, probably because they are in touch with their emotions. I mean they certainly don't need a doctor to tell them which poems to read.
#Person1#: Thank you very much, Dr. Stewart.
#Person2#: You are welcome. | Dr. Stewart thinks poetry may be the solution to people's problems when they suffer from anxiety or depression. He gives an example that he read a patient a poem called Leisure by WHDavis, and the patient realizes finding a balance between work and social life. Then Dr. Dtewart explains encouraging patients to write poetry has dramatic effects because the process of expressing confused thoughts and feelings and emotions in writing helps people or suffering from stress and anxiety. Besides, Dr. Stewart tells that other doctors and therapists have made the same discoveries. Finally, he gives an explanation of the calming effect of poetry, and he thinks there is no need to prescribe particular poems for particular conditions. |

Project Manager: Right so good to know all that stuff thanks guys Now we kind of have to come to some decisions I figure we can just go down the line and all three of us can have a chat about it Based on what Nathan presented as far as the various costs and benefits I think I do not know what do you guys think about the touch screen at this point ?
Marketing: I think it is our most marketable feature just because it is so new and it is something that is showing up in other places But can we really afford it because it looks like they would be that would be a really main cost source then
Industrial Designer: My estimate is that in order to incorporate touch screen technology it is going to cost us upwards of seventeen fifty Euro per remote that is just an estimate though
User Interface: Oh you guys are always the dampers on these projects
Marketing: And our goal was to be under twelve fifty or we have to be under twelve fifty ?
Industrial Designer: I thought there was some flexibility with that
Project Manager: There is it is just it is a question of and how much ca o does that mean we are going to have to increase the price to make money
Marketing: Can we justify it ?
Project Manager: from twelve fifty if we d want to get our fift hundred per cent profit margin that would mean selling it from twenty five If you multiply seventeen fifty by two that is thirty five
User Interface: Where do you guys come up with these numbers ?
Industrial Designer: That is just off the top of my head it is pending further emails
Marketing: Though I think that is what people would pay for I mean if you are going to pay for an expensive high class remote you are going to expect it to do something
Project Manager: That is true I mean
Industrial Designer: It is the new it would be in a class of its own
Project Manager: And that is to be fair the the per cent of the market we are not going for mass any you know mass sales anyway we are going to make I mean we we are not talking about selling eight zillion of these things we just could not not for twentyfive Euros so we could probably maybe shrink the profit margins rather than selling for twenty five sell them for thirty but that is something that we can have finance deal with I say that we provisionally go with the touch screen or wh y wh what was your thought on the matter Ron ?
User Interface: I am thinking that is definitely a good idea and I also think that we could probably come up with some sort of a cheaper means to to go about this kind of production my my team in the on the third floor suggested that
Marketing: See if we can cut some corners Right Well and we can look into this other manufacturing option and maybe we can get them somewhere else cheaper
Industrial Designer: We could initially go with what we have and if we can find them cheaper later on
Marketing: Right It is a starting point anyway so
Project Manager: No we could have a s very simple touch screen you know there is always the opportunity if it is going to be about the size of the iPod or whatever you know w we I guess we can play around with it a bit Alright let us let us say that so the touch screen will be our our main selling point here
User Interface: I mean I think that we really have two main selling points I think that our casing and the voice recognition
Marketing: because with voice recognition I mean really this is pretty bells and whistles kind of remote
Project Manager: I mean if if we are looking at bottom line now we are looking at upping the cost to seventeen to get the touch screen on I think we might have to drop the voice rec
Marketing: I think we would have to decide between them definitely
User Interface: To be honest we have the capa we have the design inhouse I mean we have we have come up with this with this new voice we are using it for our coffee machines already
Marketing: We have already got it
User Interface: I can pass you on that email from my guy in guy down the hall Sounds good
Project Manager: What do you think on it Nathan ? About the voice rec ?
Industrial Designer: I think if we we do both the obviously production costs are going to go way up but it does put it into it would become the Rolls Royce of remote controls basically It would be very nice
User Interface: I mean we we have to r reflect back on what our market research did say
Marketing: Right and they said they wanted voice recognition Course maybe they had not thought of this whole touch screen option but definitely we know the market is there for voice recognition so to say we have the technology and we are not going to use it even though we know it will sell is a call I do not think I can give the highs ups Like really I can not go in and say no we are going to just ignore everything we know
User Interface: Does having both really up our costs ?
Project Manager: I can not see how it would not I mean there is you know the old aphorism you can have it fast you can have it cheap or you can have it quality pick two of three You know you can not you can not have all three
Industrial Designer: because you you just upping the number of chips that you need to deal with each different function
Project Manager: Well if we are going to pick betwe e alright so we have to pick between one of the two Otherwise we just it just becomes cost prohibitive What which which do we suspect we should hold o we should hold on to ?
Marketing: Well we already have research backing voice recognition as you know fiscally solvent But I I I personally would tend to another direction but if that is what is going to sell I think that is what we need to go with and maybe we can table this touch screen for our next model
Industrial Designer: I would have to side with that I think the voice recognition is simpler we already have the all the technology inhouse it is ready to go it is packaged it is
Project Manager: What does the cost look like Ron ? Is it cheaper to do the VR or to do the touch screen ?
Industrial Designer: this is just off the top of my head keep in mind but I think the voice recognition would they are both mm they are both going to push the costs up but since we already have the technology inhouse for the voice recognition we are not going to have to do as much design work and sometimes the design work is what push the costs up if you know what I mean
User Interface: I definitely have to agree with that last comment
Marketing: And we are still not then we do not have to deal with this battery issue nearly as much either we can stick with what we have already got In a lot other ways too
Project Manager: So I am getting alright so more or less you guys think that o o of the two of them the voice recognition will be better
Marketing: I think it is our lower risk option which for right now we can have it on the market sooner which is all in all our best option
Project Manager: We will omit the touch screen in favour of voice recognition
User Interface: It is you and me outside a little here | The group found that if they would use the touch screen as well as the voice recognition technique, the cost would up to 17 euros. On the other hand, in order to guarantee the one hundred percent profit, the price would be more than 30, which would risk losing potential consumers. Provided that they would control the cost within 12.5 euros, they would have to cut off some functions, for example, voice recognition. It was really hard to balance between the popular tastes, the cost and the quality. |

founder: Because our business is failing and I'm going to be homeless. What would you have me do?

Project Manager: Just kind of young professionals th like if we are going to include speech recognition it is kind of between fifteen and thirty five seems to be like a really high response to that So we could say that was our target
Industrial Designer: I I think twenty five to thirty five is is is fair to add that in as a group as well because that is more than half your group of people who are willing to at least try and use your technology
Project Manager: Mmhmm so fifteen to thirty five look fairly young You know they have bit of expendable income to spend on this sort of thing
Industrial Designer: I think perhaps that age group is significant as well because those are people who use the computer who are familiar with their with computers in in their everyday work | The group mentioned that if they need to include speech recognition, they should target between fifteen and thirty-five because this age group would be willing to try new technology.
